Tokyo, 1991: Starting as a bank clerk

Chapter 152 Yuki's Awkward Moment [First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Kiryuya too:

His arms were held tightly, and he could clearly feel the softness of the girl's chest pressing against him through the thin T-shirt.

He tried to pull his hand away, but Yuki Matsushita was holding him too tightly, and he couldn't.

And she was frantically giving him meaningful glances.

Those eyes, still glistening with tears, blinked frantically, the meaning clear:

Please cooperate with me! I beg you! Please cooperate with me!

Kiryu Yaya remained silent.

He glanced at Yuki Matsushita, then at Saeko Matsushita, whose face was deathly pale under the streetlight, and his lips twitched slightly.

What's going on here?

Before he could make a move, Matsushita Saeko rushed over and bowed to Kiryu Yaya, saying, "Mr. Kiryu, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Then, she looked at Matsushita Yuki and said, unusually seriously, "Yuki, don't mess around!"

Hearing her mother's words, Matsushita Yuki paused slightly, her gaze shifting uncertainly between the two women, before asking in surprise, "You two—know each other?"

Kiryu Yaya was silent for two seconds, then looked down at the girl still hanging on his arm.

"Relax first."

Yuki Matsushita hesitated for a moment, but obediently let go, though she remained standing very close to Matsushita.

Saeko Matsushita looked very unwell.

She stood under the streetlight, her eyes still red and her hair a little messy, but at this moment she felt more embarrassed by being exposed by her daughter in public.

And the utter embarrassment that she felt in front of this young man at the bank.

"Mr. Kiryu————"

Her voice was low: "Yuki is still young and doesn't understand things. Please don't take her silly words to heart."

"I'm not young anymore!"

Yuki Matsushita immediately retorted, "I'm already eighteen years old, an adult! And one..."

"And what?"

Saeko Matsushita's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, filled with long-suppressed anger: "And you're going to do compensated dating? You're going to find an old man to keep you as a mistress? When you said these things, did you even think about what Grandma would think?"

"And what about you?"

Yuki Matsushita's eyes reddened again: "If Grandma finds out you went to Tokyo to do that kind of thing, what will she think?"

The mother and daughter confronted each other again.

Kiryu Yaya stood between the two, holding the motorcycle keys in his left hand and carrying a briefcase in his right, his expression somewhat subtle.

He wasn't unfamiliar with awkward situations.

But standing between a mother and daughter, listening to them argue about things like "being a mistress" and "compensated dating," while he himself was being used as a prop and a "candidate for being kept"—

This is indeed the first time.

Just then, a semi-transparent interface popped up in front of him.

[New life options have been triggered]

[Saeko Matsushita is determined to go to Tokyo, while Yuki Matsushita tries to stop her in extreme ways. The conflict between mother and daughter has reached an irreconcilable point, and your arrival introduces an unexpected variable into this conflict.]

At this moment, you have three choices.

[Fork in the road 1: Remain silent and leave, stating "this is your family matter," without intervening in the conflict between mother and daughter.]

(Reward: Bank deposit increased by 2 yen)

[Branch 2: From the perspective of a bank employee, rationally analyze the advantages of Matsushita Saeko going to Tokyo, and try to persuade her to stay in Osaka to find a legal and stable job.]

(Reward: Bank deposit increased by 10 yen)

[Branch 3: As a former resident of Osaka, propose a compromise: allow Matsushita Saeko to stay in Osaka, and you will help her find a decent job, while Yuki promises not to threaten her mother in extreme ways again.]

(Reward: "Eye of Recognition" allows you to view the core abilities of the target, including their professional skills and hidden specialties.)

Kiryu Yaya's gaze swept over the three options.

One branch, 20,000 yen.

He turned and left, not caring about anything.

This is certainly the easiest way.

But remembering how well Mrs. Matsushita had always taken care of him, he gently shook his head.

Fork two, one hundred thousand yen.

This amount of money was not a small sum for him.

But what Matsushita Saeko lacked was an income that would allow her to survive in Osaka.

Simply reasoning with people is useless.

Three branches, one skill.

"The Eyes That Recognize People".

Kiryu Yaya's gaze lingered on those four words for a moment.

It has an incredibly strong ability to view other people's professional skills and expertise; it's simply too overpowered.

Did I get a legendary gold item?

Without the slightest hesitation, Kiryu Yaya made his choice in his heart.

He looked up at Saeko Matsushita.

"Ms. Matsushita."

Matsushita Saeko's shoulders trembled slightly as she looked up at him.

"Mr. Kiryu————"

"Are you going to Tokyo the day after tomorrow?"

Saeko Matsushita lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.

"I've already bought the tickets."

Kiryu Yaya nodded and asked, "Have you found a job in Tokyo?"

This time, Saeko Matsushita did not answer immediately.

She paused for a few seconds, then lowered her voice even further: "Not yet—but someone has introduced me to someone."

Kiryu Yaya saw her evasive eyes and already understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

The so-called "job introduced by a friend" is most likely a job in a club or similar place.

He didn't point it out, but simply nodded, understanding the other person's predicament.

Matsushita Saeko, as Kajiwara Shozo's mistress, was living a good life until Kajiwara Shozo was still not released due to the actions of the Financing Review Division.

As for the house under Saeko Matsushita's name, although there is a 20 million yen price difference that belongs to her.

However, the house has been frozen, and it will take the bank quite some time to proceed with the auction.

It will take about half a year.

During such a long period of time, Saeko Matsushita would indeed need to find a job or change her client in order to support herself.

For her, who only has a high school diploma, going to Tokyo would be the easier way to find employment, regardless of which direction she chooses.

Thus, the trip to Tokyo became the trigger for the conflict between Matsushita and her daughter.

Kiryu Yaya rubbed his temples.

So the crux of the problem is whether or not we can find a decent job for Saeko Matsushita in Osaka.

It has to be at least a six-month commitment.

After thinking for a while, Kiryu Yaya came up with a candidate.

Keiko Miyazawa.

The Miyazawa Group is headquartered in Osaka, and its business covers real estate, retail, and financial services, with more than a dozen subsidiaries.

For Keiko Miyazawa, finding a job for Saeko Matsushita was not difficult.

The only question is whether or not to trouble Keiko Miyazawa with this matter.

Kiryu Yaya glanced at the Golden Legend.

It looks so tempting.

So he made a decision and said to Saeko Matsushita, "Ms. Matsushita, I heard your conversation just now."

As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of shame appeared on Matsushita Saeko's face: "Mr. Kiryu, I'm so sorry to have made you laugh."

Kiryu Yaya waved his hand and said, "As a former resident of Matsushita, it's fine if I don't know about this, but if I do know and don't ask a few questions, I'll feel a little bothered."

Saeko Matsushita pursed her lips and didn't reply.

Kiryu Yaya, standing next to Matsushita Yuki, said to Matsushita Saeko, "Ms. Matsushita, if you'd like to stay in Osaka, I can try to find you a job."
