Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

"They've disbanded!" Yuma Kanzaki's face suddenly turned ugly. She tossed her ponytail, turned around, and left. "What kind of father is he... bastard! He can spend the rest of his life in prison..."

She seemed to harbor a lot of resentment... Could it be related to the debt?

Mikoto looked up at her in astonishment.

Katsuhiko shrugged and said, "Let's go home."

It's okay if Yuma Kanzaki doesn't want to talk about it. Yumi Kanzaki seems easy to talk to, a pretty carefree girl. We can talk about it when we go for a ride together.

As for Tanaka Yutaka, it's safe to say he's incredibly proud and stubborn... What comes out of his mouth is probably all about peace and prosperity, right? He's quite a strong-willed guy; when he's taking notes, he writes the most carefully and in detail.

Since Group 21 is now defunct, if I'm not mistaken, the debt contracts of Mikoto's ex-husband are probably in the hands of Hiroji Sato. He's eyeing Mikoto's property, and Group 21 is just his henchman.

From this perspective, the biggest uncertainty actually lies with Hiroji Sato. He is more difficult to deal with than Group 21, after all, he is a mid-level manager in a bank, cloaked in a legal guise.

Of course, since he's cloaked in the guise of law, he generally wouldn't risk stripping off his clothes unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, his various tactics are predictable and unlikely to result in any major surprises. After all, anyone can wear the cloak of law, and it's all about give and take, responding to each move as it comes...

Katsuhiko, with his arm around Mikoto's waist, walked along the pedestrian street leading to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, lost in thought.

Mikoto seemed to enjoy the stroll-like atmosphere, and she put her arm around Katsuhiko's waist, tilted her head against his chest, and walked forward in sync with his steps.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

As soon as she stood at the gate, Mikoto quickly opened the door, pushed Katsuhiko inside, locked the door, and in the blink of an eye, grabbed Katsuhiko by the collar, then jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Katsuhiko was taken aback and quickly supported her soft, round buttocks. Before he could ask what was wrong, Mikoto leaned close to Katsuhiko's ear and breathed hot air into her ear, saying, "I think I'm jealous. Please help me calm down..."

Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Please don't speak," Mikoto quickly covered his mouth, her eyes slightly red, and whispered, "I'll adjust. Actually, this is really good. I'm very content."

Katsuhiko removed her hand and said, "I think you're just dissatisfied..."

Before Katsuhiko could finish speaking, Mikoto silenced him with a kiss.

Last night, when Sheng Yan suddenly announced that he wanted to register his marriage with Xiao Baihe, she immediately realized that she had overestimated her own openness.

I am quite clear about my situation: the past few days with Sheng Yan have been too relaxed and enjoyable, which makes me dissatisfied, but I cannot be dissatisfied.

After all, she and Sayuri were not on the same level. If only I had met him earlier...

The moment they entered, they started tearing clothes and kicking with their shoes...

Although Mikoto was in high spirits, there was an unyielding sadness in her eyes. With her eyes slightly closed, she looked up and murmured, "Where were you before...? Why didn't you come sooner...? I'm so sad... I envy Sayuri so much..."

She was clearly venting her pent-up grievances, giving off a sense of wanting to travel back in time.

“This is just the right time,” Sheng Yan said, supporting her slender waist as he worried she might fall. “If it had been any earlier, you would have been incredibly jealous, and even if we had gotten together, we would have broken up.”

Mikoto seemed lost in her grief, still talking to herself, shaking her head and ignoring what was happening, her hair flying wildly, a tear sliding from the corner of her eye and flying away.

In this situation, Sheng Yan seems to have become a tool for venting his emotions, which makes him feel somewhat helpless.

It should be a joyful experience when feelings run deep, and one should enjoy it wholeheartedly. If you do it with other emotions, you will not be able to relax your mind and body. Negative emotions will accumulate and harm your physical and mental health.

Of course, Mikoto's feelings are understandable; she simply feels powerless and saddened by the unchangeable situation and unconsciously expresses her innermost thoughts.

She was a good woman who was easily satisfied, but unfortunately she met a dissolute and unrestrained man.

Katsuhiko couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for Mikoto. He knew he couldn't let her remain in this state, as it would harm her physical and mental health.

Katsuhiko immediately sat up, wrapped his arms around Mikoto's smooth back, pulled her into his embrace, preventing her from moving, and then leaned down slightly to whisper in her ear, "Mikoto-chan, let's get married!"

Mikoto froze, her eyes wide with tears, staring blankly at Katsuhiko.

"We'll go to the Ota Ward Office later. You bring your household registration copy and we'll submit the marriage documents together."

Sheng Yan had already prepared the materials, since he had just registered with Xiao Baihe that morning.

Mikoto's rosy lips parted slightly, and with a trembling voice, she said, "Are you... are you kidding me?"

“I never joke about this kind of thing, it’s all for real,” Katsuhiko said calmly. “You’re amazing, I’m very satisfied, and I’m going to marry you, no problem.”

"Coco..." Mikoto stammered, "Coco... Little, Little Lily, what... what should I do? You, you didn't register with her?"

“The materials have been submitted, and we’ll just wait until after the holiday to pick up the new household registration, Fujimoto,” Katsuhiko said, brushing away the fine strands of hair that were stuck to her pink cheeks with sweat, and continued, “But it won’t stop us from registering again.”

"Coco...this...this is illegal, isn't it..."

"Each district's marriage system is independent and not connected to the network. As long as you don't report it, no one will care."

A certain expert in a certain place did it this way, and things went peacefully for many years...

"I've been reported by someone, what should I do?"

Mikoto was still in disbelief when she instinctively followed Katsuhiko's answer and asked him questions.

"It'll just be a fine and the marriage will be declared invalid. I'll see how you behave then, whether I keep you or someone else."

"Huh?" Mikoto's jaw seemed to dislocate; she stared in disbelief.

"However, as long as you're not prosecuted, it's legal. Chinatsu-chan has changed her name to Takenaka Chinatsu, and you've changed your name to Takenaka Mikoto. You're Mrs. Takenaka, recognized by the ward office, so you don't need to pretend anymore. How about that, are you surprised?"

Mikoto opened her mouth and gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling in rhythm with her breathing.

“I’m proposing to you,” Katsuhiko said, placing his hands under Mikoto’s armpits and lifting her up slightly before squatting down in front of her. “You’re not going to reject me, are you?”

Sure enough, no matter what you do, you can't feel at ease if you have something weighing on your mind.

But now things are much better. The melancholy that had been weighing on Mikoto's heart burst forth with a sudden burst of joy.

Although Mikoto wanted to express her joy, it was already 2 p.m., and if she delayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to get to the Ota Ward Office in time to submit the marriage registration documents.

Of course, at this time, although Mikoto was full of energy and her eyes were bright, her lack of physical strength made her somewhat frustrated.

Sheng Yan went into the living room and poured her a glass of water.

Mikoto remained lying on the wet mattress, her eyes darting around, and said, "Actually, I'm much better now. What I said earlier doesn't need to be taken... There's no need to give so much... I'll never be satisfied..."

Even as she said this, she couldn't hide the expectation in her tone, which was also filled with an irrepressible coquettishness.

Her hand, resting on her fair thigh, was so tight it almost soaked the sheets, revealing her nervousness, as if she was afraid Sheng Yan would forget.

“It’s okay. When you’re not satisfied, we’ll get a divorce.” Sheng Yan sat on the mattress with a water glass in his hand, put his arm around her still warm and smooth back, and helped her sit up. “You’ll only get the money, and the child will stay with me.”

"All right……"

Mikoto took the water glass from Katsuhiko with both hands. As she drank, her eyelashes fluttered as she glanced at Katsuhiko's face. Perhaps worried that he would see the joy on her face, she covered her flushed cheeks with her hands and asked softly, "Why do we have to register?"

Sheng Yan opened the bedside table drawer, rummaged through the household registration transcript, and said, "You've also fallen into the same bad habit as Xiao Baihe, being anxious and indecisive. Let me reassure you."

Of course, it was also a way of binding her under the guise of the law. Although it was mutual, Sheng Yan didn't care. Even if it was eventually exposed and they were divorced, at most it would be a matter of dividing money. How could he possibly lack money in the future? It's all just numbers.

Right now, while there's a legal loophole, we're giving them this wonderful reassurance; in a few years, that opportunity won't be available anymore...

Being a responsible and good man is truly a lot of work.

"Will there be other people after that?"

"We'll see. If we find one we like, we certainly won't let it go."

A person of strong character doesn't suppress their likes or dislikes, nor does they hide their feelings. If they think something is good, they'll say it boldly. Take Kanzaki Yumi, for example; she's quite carefree and doesn't seem to care whether she has children or not...

"All right……"

Katsuhiko turned to him and asked, "Would you get jealous?"

Mikoto looked conflicted and shook her head, saying, "I wouldn't dare..."

"Wife, you're amazing~" Katsuhiko stretched out his index finger, lifted her flushed chin, and said, "Call me husband."

Mikoto's hand holding the transparent water glass trembled slightly. She looked up at Katsuhiko's eyes, which then shifted slightly as she blinked rapidly, glancing repeatedly at Katsuhiko's face.

Her moist lips opened and closed repeatedly, but she kept breathing heavily, as if she was ashamed to speak.

Katsuhiko continued to hold her chin and whistled at her, signaling her to keep going.

"Husband~" Mikoto gasped, quickly put down her water glass, covered her burning forehead with her hands, and couldn't help but secretly observe Katsuhiko's face.

This word seemed to have become unfamiliar to her, and she never thought that one day she would say it to someone again.

"Great job!" Katsuhiko encouraged her by cupping her flushed face in his hands and rubbing it. "Get dressed and go to Ota Ward to register."

According to Mikoto's household registration transcript, the head of household is Nakamura Mikoto, and the only family member is Nakamura Chinatsu.

Chapter 28 Where is Kenta! Tell me, where is Kenta!

It doesn't take long to get from Shinjuku Ward to Ota Ward; by subway, it takes a maximum of forty minutes.

Mikoto put on that very formal suit again, put on light makeup, and restyled her hair.

However, her complexion was not normal; she looked like a thief committing a crime for the first time.

On their way there, she and Shengyan went into a bookstore and looked up the Marriage Law together, especially the penalties for bigamy.

Not only will there be a huge fine, but she will also be sentenced to two years in prison. In addition to Sheng Yan being sentenced, she will also be sentenced as a person who knew about the incident.

As they got closer to the Ota Ward Office, Mikoto's legs trembled, and she clung to Katsuhiko's arm, her whole body almost leaning against him.

"Honey... I know how you feel. I feel very safe now. Can we not go? Our relationship is fine... There are many couples like us..."

The thought that Sheng Yan would take such a big risk because of her little temper made her feel safe, even though it made her feel quite secure. But if they were exposed, they would both end up in jail...

Is it worth taking such a risk for someone as insignificant as myself?

She realized that she was indeed asking for too much and going too far. He gave her so much, spoiling her to the point of pampering her... How could she repay him? She wished she could meld him into her body and let him know how she felt.

"Don't overthink it, just follow me, and we'll go all the way down this road."

Since I've already agreed, I might as well bite the bullet and do it!

Perhaps because of the time travel, Katsuhiko always felt that this world was too unreal, like playing a game with cheat codes.

If everyone's using cheat codes to play the game, what's the fun in killing monsters and leveling up? If there aren't any challenges, create them.

Just like a hardcore gamer who plays games all night until dawn and gets bored from constantly killing monsters, he wants to find other players to PK with, turn his white name into a red name, get some excitement, and experience the joy of being captured by NPCs.

So what if I get exposed and prosecuted? Fines will be imposed, and prison sentences will be handed down. It's just a couple of years in solitary confinement...

In reality, the probability of exposure in the short term is extremely small.

Even if Sayuri found out, she wouldn't report it; her personality and temperament dictated her behavior.

She still felt guilty towards Mikoto... Besides, after scratching Mikoto's chin twice in front of her, she probably had a premonition that she would show her a variety show recording later... further pushing her limits.
