I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

“Strange rules…” Yukino frowned slightly.

Could it be that he's afraid his guests will contact each other?

Or perhaps he felt that this girl might try to make a deal with him, so he didn't want to interfere with her?

If I can resolve this matter properly, this girl won't need to make a deal with me, right?

It must be a rule left behind to prevent such things from happening; that's the only way to understand it.

"Thank you, you're all so kind people." Rio Miyaichi put the money on the table, grabbed her umbrella, and quickly left.

After she left, Luo Feng returned to his seat and continued looking at his computer.

“You’re not some evil devil,” Yukino said to Luo Feng as she tidied the table.

Although she comes from the Yukinoshita family, Japanese girls have home economics courses when they go to school, so they basically know how to tidy up.

In addition, Yukino has been living on her own for a long time and is very good at taking care of herself.

She's not used to serving others, but she'll find a way to adapt.

"Well, I'm a very kind person," Luo Feng smiled. "No one says that devils are necessarily beyond redemption, right? Once you're done cleaning up, go home. Tomorrow you have to fight a media war with this little girl."

"Okay, thank you," Yukino Yukinoshita said sincerely.

Luo Feng didn't ask her to stay overnight, nor did he intend to do anything to her. He simply asked her to work at the izakaya like a normal part-time job.

Yukino Yukinoshita felt a little unreal. Luo Feng didn't seem bad at all. Was what he said before just to scare me?

As for the mother's soul, that was something the mother chose to possess...

Yukino smiled slightly. Or perhaps, he has designs on me?

Yukino isn't the kind of girl who's pretentious. She'll admit her cuteness and excellence, and she's not too surprised that she's being pursued by a devil.

As she was tidying up, the rain gradually subsided and eventually stopped.

After Yukino finished packing, she said goodbye to Luo Feng and prepared to leave the izakaya.

"Let me take you home," Luo Feng said softly. "It's so late, and you don't have a car or a gun. It's not safe for you to be out and about."

"Thank you." Yukino glanced at the time and didn't insist.

pat!

After a snap of her fingers, Yukino disappeared from the spot.

As Yukino disappeared, the scenery outside changed.

It's difficult to see the street outside from inside the house; you can only see the people outside.

Luo Feng walked out of the izakaya and slightly opened his eyes.

The streets were spotless, without a single drop of rain, as if the torrential downpour had never happened.

Feeling the cold midnight wind, Luo Feng gasped, realizing he had made some contribution to global warming.

His gaze was cold, colder than the day itself.

…………

The next morning, Yukino Yukinoshita went to the Public Security Bureau to check on the school that Rio Miyaichi had mentioned, and then go to find her.

She had a wonderful sleep after returning home last night; she hadn't slept so well in a long time.

After discovering that Luo Feng wasn't a bad person, she felt relieved.

"Good morning, Yukino." A female detective greeted Yukino.

"Good morning, it rained really hard yesterday," Yukino Yukinoshita said casually.

"Rain? What rain? You dreamt about it, didn't you?" The female detective covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hmm? Haven't you noticed? The weather's drying out way too fast these days..." Yukino sat down in her seat, a little puzzled.

It's raining in Chiba, but not in Tokyo? They're not that far apart, are they? Strange weather.

"It really didn't rain yesterday." The female detective looked at her suspiciously. "Have you been under too much stress lately?"

"Sorry, I meant Chiba." Yukino sat down in her seat.

"Oh, I see." The female detective was a little confused and muttered, "It's raining in Chiba?"

Yukino turned on her computer, ready to look up the school the girl had mentioned last night.

But upon investigating, she instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

This school...is it in Hokkaido?

Why Hokkaido?

She was certain that Luo Feng's shop was in Chiba, so how did it end up in Hokkaido?

How do I contact this person?

Even if she were a top student, it would be impossible for her to remember the name of every school in Japan. If she could remember the name of every city, it would be considered that she had studied geography diligently.

In addition, she hadn't been back to Chiba much in the past few years, so she hadn't really paid attention to what was happening at school.

No, no, this is a big problem!

The other side is a local force, I'm in Tokyo, and the Yukinoshita family's influence is in Chiba, even if the other side only has one gang leader...

She's just an ordinary person!

Chapter 055 Accomplices?

Yukino Yukinoshita knew all too well how many convoluted stories there were in the media. The affairs of an ordinary person could easily be suppressed, and reporters might even go after her enemies, the family that bullied her, for money.

Yukino Yukinoshita gave her a crucial condition for using the media: that she could intervene and find a way to testify for that girl.

Now? She can't do it at all!

That's too far away; they have their own local forces there...

The Yukinoshita family is just the Yukinoshita family of Chiba, not a behemoth like the Shinomiya family, which has no control over such a distant place.

Moreover, the city she lives in isn't a big city...

What to do, what to do?

Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't have Rio Miyaichi's phone number or email address and can't contact her at all.

Oh, right, Luo Feng, look for Luo Feng!

pat.

Just then, a news item popped up in the lower right corner of Yukino Yukinoshita's computer screen.

"A Top Student's Downfall: The Truth Behind It Is Thought-Provoking..."

Yukino quickly clicked on the news.

The gist of the news is that Rio Miyaichi is a girl who appears to be a good student, but is actually a gyaru (a Japanese term for a woman who is aggressive and dislikes) who often associates with thugs.

She comes from a single-parent family and was somewhat rebellious from a young age. Lacking a father's love and care, she dared to do anything.

In order to gain more attention, she spent money lavishly.

Because she accidentally spent the class funds, she borrowed money from a kind classmate. The kind classmate wanted her to turn over a new leaf and lent her the money, but she never intended to pay it back.

Over the course of a year, Rio Miyaichi continued to go out and have fun even more excessively, even when she ran out of money...

The teachers were unaware of her true identity and kindly recommended her for a spot.

But what did she do? Graduation was just around the corner, and she was still harassing that kind classmate, either continuing to lend her money or reporting her for loan sharking against Miyaichi Rio because her father was a member of the yakuza!

The kind-hearted classmate cried during the interview, saying that although her father was a gangster, he was a good father and a good person who had never harmed ordinary people. She never imagined that Rio Miyaichi was such a person.

The news was filled with pictures of her with thugs. Due to the shooting techniques and angles, it didn't look like she was being extorted, but rather that the thugs seemed to be treating her with respect.

Moreover, these are all documented with pictures and evidence!

Following that, there were several more interviews, all of which were with Rio Miyaichi's classmates.

Public opinion overwhelmingly supports the view that she is usually very well-behaved in front of her teachers, but is actually a very formidable person, and everyone is afraid of her.

I'm now preparing to interview her mother, and I'm already on my way.

If the news reports that she was coerced, or even that she did it to ease her mother's burden, these reporters could understand. But she did it for herself...

What's most terrifying is that the purpose of this news article is to focus on education issues!

Simply exposing Rio Miyaichi wouldn't garner much attention.

Simply saying what she did might be noticed as inappropriate by a smart person, but when placed in the context of such a social issue, it seems so natural.

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately went to check the comments.

'This woman is going too far! Even if it's a single-parent family, she shouldn't act like this.'

'A top student? What a pretentious act.'

'With acting skills like that, why not become an actor? What's the point of going to school?'

'Poor little girl who lent her money.'

'She's quite good-looking, what a pity.'

'People like that should die!'

'My mother's parenting was a complete f***ing failure.'

'Scumbag, degenerate!'

'There are still recommendation slots? Is this teacher blind?'

Yukino's hands trembled.

If you look at this news article alone, even if you hadn't met that girl yesterday, you might have been swayed by the story, because the article is written so meticulously and realistically!

This is school bullying!

The students in her class all sided with the bullies; not a single person spoke up for the real victims.

They...they're going to interview her mother?

This little girl wanted to commit suicide yesterday, what will happen today?
