My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Kouta had bought seafood from this store several times before and was acquainted with the owner.

This store isn't in a great location, and its prices are a bit higher than the previous stores, but the quality is still pretty good.

Therefore, Kouta, who is not short of money, has been buying here all along because he doesn't want to wait in line.

When the woman named Uehara heard that Kouta wanted to buy sea cucumbers, she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, they're over here."

Uehara led Kouta to a large freezer in a corner of the store.

After opening the freezer, I found a styrofoam box inside containing about half a box of sea cucumbers.

Each one is about one decimeter long and as thick as three fingers.

"We just put it in there not long ago, mainly because there aren't many people buying this stuff," Uehara explained.

Kouta stared at the styrofoam box for a while, and with his superhuman dynamic vision, he could see that every sea cucumber was moving slightly.

Uehara wasn't lying to him; it really was fresh.

“Okay.” Kouta nodded.

"How much do you want, Mr. Qiaomu?"

"Give me... one jin, no, five jin," Gengtai said.

He looked up information online and heard that sea cucumbers can ensure the nutrition of pregnant women and the development of the fetus. Moreover, this stuff is very expensive. The more expensive it is, the more it indirectly proves that it is indeed a good thing.

He naturally wished he could give Hui the best of everything in the world.

Therefore, with a wave of his hand, he ordered five pounds of food to satisfy everyone.

Uehara was very happy to hear Kouta's words. She could earn about 20,000 yen by selling five catties of sea cucumbers.

She knew that Mr. Qiaomu in front of her was very rich; he had bought those very expensive ingredients in the store before without even blinking.

"Mr. Qiaomu, please have a seat. I'll pack it for you."

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Uehara."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."

Zhiyuan took a large plastic bag and used his gloved hands to fill it with sea cucumbers.

After filling a large bag, Uehara weighed it, and seeing that it was about right, handed it to Kouta.

Just then, the shop door was violently opened, and a heavily made-up young woman entered the room.

She wore a low-cut mini-skirt, revealing half of her breasts and sexy back. The skirt was voluminous, exposing her smooth thighs from the root to her ankles, showing no fear of the cold weather outside.

She wore black high heels, the heels adorned with metallic black roses, and the outer bows, sparkling crystals, and dark obsidian accentuated her beautiful arches.

Kouta, smelling the strong scent of perfume, alcohol, and other unidentified aromas, glanced at the girl with surprise.

Kouta was very familiar with the scent on the girl. In his previous life, he had traveled to all kinds of nightclubs, bars, clubs, geisha houses in Japan, and was quite knowledgeable.

He keenly sensed that the unknown scent on the girl was something extremely unpleasant, something that was difficult to get rid of once you were exposed to it!

However, he only thought about it in his mind and had no intention of meddling in other people's business, such as exposing or advising others.

He was just a customer buying seafood; what happened to other people was none of his business.

However, Kouta's surprised look immediately caused Kanako to frown and show disgust.

She thought that Kouta was infatuated with her beauty.

Her thinking wasn't unfounded narcissism; rather, she genuinely had the right to think that way.

Even though she had dyed her hair wine-red and curly, wore sparkling earrings, dark purple eyeshadow, and blood-red lipstick, and although her lipstick was smudged, there was no denying that she was indeed a campus beauty.

However, her heavy makeup wasn't aimed at the innocent students at school.

She glanced at Kouta with disdain, her expression full of contempt and contempt: "Hmph, a toad trying to eat swan meat."

Kouta paused for a moment, then smiled faintly, not taking Kanako to heart.

Undeniably, Kanako is a rare beauty compared to ordinary people, but in his eyes, she's really nothing special.

"How dare you talk to a guest like that?" Uehara scolded. "Where did you go last night? Why didn't you come home? You didn't answer my calls. Were you fooling around with those foreigners again?"

Kanako replied impatiently to Uehara, "Didn't I tell you I was going to a friend's house? Seriously, this is so annoying."

After she finished speaking, she turned and stepped onto the stairs on one side of the store without looking back.

Uehara seemed to have long been accustomed to her daughter's attitude and sighed helplessly.

Then he looked apologetically at Kouta: "I'm sorry you had to see this."

"It's alright, how much is it in total?" Kouta smiled. He just wanted to pay and leave, and had no intention of getting involved in other people's business.

“The total is 310811 yen,” Uehara said.

Kōta gave a faint "hmm," then took out his wallet and began counting the bills.

He had one hundred Fukuzawa Yukichi banknotes in his wallet.

He counted out thirty-two bills, pulled them out, and handed them to Aunt Uehara. His face remained expressionless, as if three hundred thousand yen was nothing more than waste paper in his eyes.

Kanako Uehara, who was going upstairs, saw this scene, and was especially surprised when she saw the bulging 10,000 yen bill in Kouta's wallet.

She really didn't expect that this unassuming office worker in front of her was so rich.

In an instant, her gaze toward Kouta was filled with unsettling emotions, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

After paying, Kōta took the sea cucumber and left the store.

He was carrying two large bags of things as he walked home.

After leaving the morning market, we walked through several streets and came to a deserted alley.

Kanako's voice came from behind him.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Kanako ran up to Kouta, panting.

Out of consideration for his neighbor, Kouta turned to ask, "Is there something you need, Ms. Uehara?"

Kanako Uehara was very close to Kouta, almost leaning against him.

Geng Tai naturally took a few steps back to create some distance.

This action drew a flash of disdain in Kanako's eyes, and she said very softly, "Hmph, all talk and no action, that's why I hate Japanese men. American soldier is much more manly."

Her voice was very soft; she barely moved her lips.

A normal person would never hear it.

However, with his superhuman hearing, Geng Tai heard it clearly.

This time, Kanako didn't deliberately get closer, but said softly, "I heard that Hashiki-kun got married and his wife is pregnant."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" A murderous intent began to brew deep in Kouta's eyes.

If this woman dares to lay a hand on Hui, she will surely die.

Unaware of the danger, Kanako Uehara whispered, "How are you feeling, Hashiki-kun? Are you having a hard time holding it in?"

Kouta frowned, the murderous intent deep in his eyes dissipating, and replied calmly, "If Miss Kanako has nothing else to do, I'll be leaving now."

"Wait a minute." Kanako walked up to Kouta and blocked his way, whispering in his ear, "I can make you feel good, it's only 300,000 yen a time, how about it, 300,000 yen to play with a beautiful girl like me."

"Does your mother know that Ms. Uehara is doing this?"

"This kind of thing? What's wrong with this kind of thing? It's the 21st century now. Men and women are equal, and there's free love. The old-fashioned notion of chastity is no longer relevant." Kanako paused, looking at Kouta with a questioning gaze. "Could it be that Mr. Hashiki is like my old man, still clinging to those feudal remnants?"

At this moment, Kouta realized that the girl in front of him must be one of those girls who had sex, and the kind who had been heavily brainwashed.

“I don’t have that idea for the time being,” Kouta said.

Kanako smiled disdainfully at this; she had seen plenty of these hypocritical fellows.

When dressed, he is more serious than a saint.

Once they take off their clothes, they become more beastly than anything else.

She took out a card and put it in Kouta's pocket in front of him.

"My contact information is in the card; contact me if you need anything." She added at the end, "I also offer home delivery."

After saying that, she turned and left.

After Kanako leaves.

Kouta put down the bag in his hand, took out the piece of paper that Kanako had given him, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into a corner of the street.

He muttered to himself, puzzled: "These days, even casual sex is so complicated? To the point where I have to pimp myself?"

On the way home, he encountered several police cars speeding by. It was the first time Kouta had ever seen Japanese police cars drive so fast, especially so early in the morning.

Don't you usually drive very slowly and follow traffic rules better than a driver with ten years of experience?

However, he immediately recalled the news broadcast yesterday, and vaguely remembered that the young lady of the famous Miyamori Zaibatsu had gone missing.

No wonder the police were so proactive.

When Kouta walked to the gate of his own house.

An elderly man was found ringing the doorbell outside the yard.

He walked over and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man looked to be about sixty years old, with slightly graying temples and wearing glasses. When he saw Kōta, he clearly took a few seconds to react before hesitantly asking, "Oh, my name is Hyakuta Saku Wataru. I'm a staff member of the town association in Utazu Town. Young man, you must be Mr. Hashiki?"

"It's me. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm here to invite the young man and his family to join the association."

"Please come in, let's talk inside." Kouta understood instantly.

Town associations are common in neon communities. They are self-organized governance units that are mainly responsible for the governance of the surrounding community, such as disaster response, health and environment, government policy promotion, local elections, women's rights, children's education, family reconciliation, fire safety, and so on.

Although it is said to be voluntary, in a society like Japan where personal relationships are so important, every household in a town will join.

As for not joining, they won't even let you take out their trash...
