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

"Only two days? You can't even hold back after just two days?" Little Lily burst into tears, shouting, "I trusted you so much! My mom says you're a womanizer, and I'm not having it! I even argued with my mom! I'm too ashamed to face her..."

“You must be starving!” Katsuhiko said, picking up his lunchbox. “How about we go inside and eat and chat? Look at all these people around us, waiting for Mikoto to pay the bill.”

"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry!" Sayuri shouted, letting go of Mikoto, then stomping her foot as she walked into the convenience store. "If you don't give me an explanation, I'll never be hungry again!"

Little Lily ran into her game corner. Because she needed to sell the game cards, she couldn't bear to break them, so she grabbed a small plastic stool from the store and slammed it on the ground, looking like she didn't like it anywhere.

With a forced smile, Mikoto clasped her hands together in front of Katsuhiko, indicating her helplessness.

Katsuhiko walked up to Mikoto with a stern face, casually slapped her on the bottom, and then walked into the store saying, "Sending Sayuri back without even calling to remind her is a low-level mistake."

The crowd gathered at the convenience store entrance seemed to crane their necks instinctively because of Katsuhiko's slap, and their eyes seemed to be focused on Mikoto's buttocks, which were covered in black wide-leg pants.

Mikoto's expression suddenly froze. She glanced around subconsciously, then blushed, lowered her head, and ran silently to the cashier, hoping to finish paying quickly and then lock the door to go home.

I don't know why, but there are an unusually large number of customers in the store today, and they're all buying things one by one. It's so annoying...

Katsuhiko walked to the game corner, where Sayuri was still throwing chairs. Katsuhiko opened his lunchbox, took out a steamed shrimp, and said, "Sayuri-chan, you love shrimp the most, I'll peel one for you."

I'm not hungry!

Sheng Yan peeled the shrimp meat, squatted down next to Xiao Baihe, held it to Xiao Baihe's lips, and said, "Tell me, what do you want? I'll do whatever you say today."

"I……"

As soon as Sayuri opened her mouth, Katsuhiko quickly stuffed the shrimp meat into it. Sayuri's face stiffened, as if she wanted to spit it out. Katsuhiko immediately said, "It cost money, it cost money, don't waste it."

To save money, Xiaobaihe usually eats at the cafeteria. This luxurious meal could only be made from leftovers from the barbecue restaurant where her mother used to work...

She chewed a few times with a conflicted expression, then swallowed and said, "I..."

Shengyan then stuffed the peeled shrimp meat into her mouth, saying, "It's very expensive, very expensive. Eat it before you talk."

"Stop feeding them!" Sayuri shoved Katsuhiko, who was about to peel shrimp again, onto the ground, chewed a few bites quickly, and said loudly, "If you don't want me to talk, then don't ask."

"Go ahead and say it!"

"Would you listen to what I'm saying? You wouldn't."

Little Lily's eyes widened. Because she was really hungry, she grabbed a large shrimp and peeled it herself, saying, "I wouldn't dare make any demands. Do whatever you want!"

Xiaobaihe subconsciously thought of the "husband-taming techniques" her mother had taught her: husbands are all in need of taming, and her status as a legal wife was her greatest source of confidence.

First of all, you should be in the right. Unless absolutely necessary, don't force your husband to make any decisions, because they will always agree to your face and then do what they always do behind your back.

What you need to do at this point is to apply pressure and get your husband to make the decision himself.

Although there's a high probability that the decision he makes himself is nonsense, he'll feel guilty after it's exposed again, and then he'll be asked to make another decision. Of course, some repeat offenders will feel guilty for a while, but will still do it again, and they'll still be asked to make decisions. After three or four times in a row, he'll put himself in mental shackles, and every time he's about to commit a crime, his guilt will accumulate until he dares not commit it again.

After all, he put these shackles on himself, so he can't blame anyone else.

“Sayuri-chan is so considerate of her husband,” Katsuhiko pushed the lunchbox toward Sayuri’s hand and continued, “Then let Kotoha be my girlfriend! She’s quite pitiful, being chased by yakuza for debts, and without a man in her house, she’ll be arrested.”

Xiaobaihe's face stiffened, and the shrimp in her hand fell onto her lap.

Why is this different from the secret his mother taught him? Shouldn't he be promising not to associate with Qinye right now?

"Little Lily, what do you think of my idea?" Katsuhiko said, picking up the shrimp meat that had fallen onto Little Lily's leg and putting it in his mouth. "That way, Kenta can die in peace..."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Little Lily stood up abruptly and said, "Put your hand on your heart and reflect on yourself, are you right?"

“I think this is a great idea. Just now at home, you scared Qinye so much that she didn’t dare to breathe, she was like your little maid. Once she becomes my girlfriend, she will appreciate your generosity, and then you can order her around to do chores for you whenever you want, how easy would that be?”

"Let's not talk now," Sayuri looked around, looking a little flustered, pushed past Katsuhiko and walked out of the game corner, saying, "Let's talk again when Dad's welcome dinner is over and we go back to the apartment."

When Xiaobaihe decided to host a welcome-home party, she asked her mother how to deal with such a shameless husband. Not only did he show no remorse, but he also took advantage of her and became increasingly arrogant…

And she just orders Qin Ye around like that... Do I really need her to do my work?

Mikoto, behind the cashier, was checking out customers while peeking into the game corner. When she saw Sayuri walking over angrily, she immediately straightened up and whispered, "Sayuri-chan, did it go smoothly?"

There were just too many customers in the checkout area, and Mikoto didn't manage to eavesdrop on the entire conversation between the two. Anyway, Sayuri's face turned bright red with anger... Mikoto was more worried about her own situation, wondering if Sayuri had pressed Katsuhiko about how many girlfriends he had. Judging from Katsuhiko's nonchalant attitude, he probably wouldn't bother lying...

Little Lily's face scrunched up in anger as she whispered, "So annoying, so infuriating, he's so shameless."

Mikoto asked cautiously, "What are you planning to do?"

“I need to go back and think about it,” Sayuri said, glancing towards the game corner where Katsuhiko was smilingly introducing game cards to customers. She was immediately furious and couldn’t help but stomp her foot. She then said to Mikoto, “I forgot to mention earlier that I’m going to Maruyoshi yakiniku restaurant at 8 p.m. I’m going to give him the cold shoulder. Please tell him that.”

"Okay, okay." Mikoto nodded repeatedly.

"Don't forget to bring your boyfriend along, Mikoto-neechan, and Eiyo-neechan too. I wonder if she's made up with her boyfriend yet... And Kotoha, she was my best friend, but she stole my husband. So annoying..." Sayuri muttered to herself for a while, then went out the door. "I'm going now."

As soon as Sayuri left, the number of customers in the convenience store decreased rapidly, and soon there were no customers left.

Katsuhiko also left the game corner and went to the cashier.

"Why don't you seem anxious at all?" Mikoto wanted to kick Katsuhiko in the butt. "Shouldn't you be chasing after them right now?"

Katsuhiko held a peeled shrimp to Mikoto's lips and said, "Sayuri-chan doesn't know how to deal with me anymore. Chasing after her will only make her angrier."

Mikoto glanced subconsciously at the door, quickly stuffed a shrimp into her mouth, and said, "Sayuri-chan just said she's going to give you the cold shoulder and asked me to tell you to come to Maruyoshi BBQ restaurant at 8 pm for Mr. Kudo's welcome dinner."

“How could we possibly have a cold war? Let’s continue talking when we get back to the apartment tonight,” Sheng Yan said, peeling shrimp again.

Mikoto hurriedly urged, "You should leave now! Don't feed them here, or I'll be exposed too. Kotoha-chan must be feeling unwell at home, right? Aren't you going back to see her... eh?"

Before Mikoto could finish speaking, Kotoha, wearing large-framed sunglasses and a sun hat, sneaked into the room.

After taking off her sunglasses, she looked uneasy and whispered while glancing at the street outside, "I just happened to be passing by and saw Sayuri-chan leaving, so I came in to see... What's Sayuri-chan planning?"

After Kotoha sent out Katsuhiko's comic, she came to the convenience store specifically to ask Mikoto for help. Then she saw Sayuri in the store and didn't dare to come in. Instead, she hid in the flower bed across the street and squatted there for a while.

"What else can we do?" Mikoto couldn't help but burst out laughing at Kotoyo's anxious, maid-like demeanor. She then glanced at Katsuhiko and continued, "Someone even argued with his wife because of you. I'm so jealous. It's so enviable."

Mikoto could tell from Sayuri's demeanor when she left that she hoped Katsuhiko would pay more attention to her.

Perhaps Mrs. Kudo had prepared Sayuri mentally, so the disappointment wouldn't be too great.

Of course, the bigger reason is probably that Katsuhiko is too shameless, leaving Sayuri with no way to deal with him.

A hint of joy flashed in Kotoha's eyes. She glanced at Katsuhiko instinctively, then quickly lowered her head and walked out, saying, "You guys talk, I'm leaving now..."

Kotoha guessed that Sayuri would probably try to negotiate with her again, and as for what Mikoto said, it sounded like a joke but also like she was serious. Maybe she was just jealous, but there was nothing she could do about it.

I'll try to see them less often in the future, so I don't keep getting bullied.

Sheng Yanjun is so good, so considerate, he doesn't look down on me at all... I really want to ask him for the status of a legal wife...

Katsuhiko said, "Sayuri just said she hopes you'll also go to Maruyoshi yakiniku restaurant for dinner at 8 pm tonight."

"She invited me?" Qin Ye paused, turning back in surprise. "That can't be right, can it?"

Shengyan said, "She said that because you cheated on her, although she would forgive you in her heart, she would feel embarrassed. So you should respect her more, especially be good to her husband, and not always think about making things difficult for him."

"No, no," Qinye shook her head and ran outside. "If I go, you'll be in a difficult position, so I'm not going."

Ultimately, all success or failure rests in Katsuhiko's hands. He's not only shameless, but he also always acts as if he doesn't care about feelings. Even Mikoto and Sayuri are probably terrified. Since Sayuri hasn't suggested breaking up or divorcing, it means she's reluctant to let go. As long as they avoid conflicts with Sayuri, they can probably muddle through for the rest of their lives…

"Oh~" Mikoto blinked as she watched Kotoha run away, then turned to her and said, "Honey, how did you spoil her like this?"

Mikoto generally agrees to Katsuhiko's requests whenever possible, but Kotoha is refusing, which is quite a contrast to her previous behavior. It feels like I'm seeing half of Eiyo's personality in her.

"That's just how she is. Once Kenta's matter is completely over, she'll be even more outrageous."

Katsuhiko gave a perfunctory reply, then took out the car keys he had won on a variety show from the cashier's drawer and said goodbye to Mikoto.

By this time, Mr. Kudo should have already come out, and the plans of Minister Miyamoto to deal with Hiroji Sato should be on the agenda. You can go to the bank to consult with Miyamoto.

Previously, Eiyo said that Sato Hiroji was carrying a murder case and had an accomplice named "Yamagishi-kun".

If the issue concerns banking, perhaps we can glean some information from Miyamoto.

If we could find the family of the person killed by Hiroji Sato, and coincidentally, among that family members were several sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen-year-old sons who deeply loved their family but were impulsive...

And what about the Guanzhou Federation? Why haven't they come to collect debts in the last few days?

Katsuhiko made a phone call to Tanaka Yutaka from a public phone booth and inquired about the situation of the Kansai Federation.

Tanaka Yutaka was slightly surprised and asked Katsuhiko: Why are you asking about that shady gang now?

Tanaka Yutaka is currently riding high. His company is thriving and doing well... He believes he has completely cleaned up his act. He has also been keeping a close eye on the current situation of the Guanzhou Federation. The financial business is dismal, with significant losses. The organization's top brass is embroiled in internal power struggles, with some vying for power, others embezzling, and still others eyeing the gang leader's mistress. They have no time to deal with anything else...

"Do you know 'Yamagishi-kun'? He's very close to Sato Hiroji. I heard that when Sato Hiroji committed the murder, it was through him that he was contacted."

"I only know one person named Shinichi Yamagishi, who is now the head of the Kanju Federation. He has a lot of power. I've never heard of them being very close..."

"It's probably him. Find an opportunity to spread some rumors, saying that Sato Hiroji and Yamagishi Shinichi committed murder together."

"That guy already has several lives on his hands, what use are rumors?" Tanaka Yutaka asked in surprise, then paused again, "You want to kill Sato Hiroji?"

"He was a murderer, and I just happened to bring him to justice."

"Fine, fine, I'll listen to you," Tanaka Yutaka said impatiently. "You stole someone else's wife and then tried to kill her. Despicable! Get down..."

Tanaka Yutaka muttered to himself and then hung up the phone.

Chapter 56: A Vision for a Healing and Inspirational Series

Katsuhiko didn't believe that a mere rumor could destroy Sato Hiroji. It was just giving him something to do, preventing him from having the time to cause trouble for him.

As for whether he lives or dies, it's good that he's dead; one less menace to the world.

Before going to the bank to see Masao Miyamoto, Katsuhiko made an appointment with him.

His assistant answered the phone, saying that Director Miyamoto had gone to the hospital to visit Hiroji Sato.

It looks like the bullying program has been activated.

To avoid Sato Hiroji associating himself with the situation, Katsuhiko decided not to go to the hospital, so he simply gave Miyamoto's assistant a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.

It's 2 PM now.

Since he couldn't get in touch with General Manager Miyamoto about Hiroji Sato, Katsuhiko decided to go to the company to check out the beverage processing production line. He also planned to use some of the coins he had saved up.

I just had a brief chat with Xiaobaihe, and the coins I exchanged already filled half of my suitcase. It seems that the speed at which I receive coin rewards is closely related to my emotional state when I'm focused on a target.

For example, when Qinye was locked in, she definitely didn't have any ideas about herself at first, and could only get one coin per hour. Later, when she had some ideas, she could get one coin every half hour, and then one coin per minute.

However, the way gold coins are obtained is a bit strange. It's always one coin per hour, and only when you have in-depth interaction will it drop to one coin per half hour. Trying to exploit this bug in this way is a bit difficult.

Regarding the gold coin reward, just as Katsuhiko had predicted, after locking onto Sayuri, the gold-edged coins awarded for touching her hand multiple times were no longer Naruto artwork, but instead became songs.

After multiple attempts, half a song has been written, titled "Swaying Longing." There's also a 15-day countdown marker. This means that if Sheng Yan doesn't take any action within 15 days, the original author has to release it, which would invalidate the theft attempt.

Because the original author's name was not listed, Katsuhiko was unaware that this was a new song by Izumi Sakai that would be released in the second half of this year.
