My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Hayato said something a little embarrassed, and then went into the room.

Chapter 436 Scar

Takashi Hayato entered the room, somewhat reserved.

Kanako handed him a glass of juice, which she had found in the refrigerator.

"Give."

Hayato Takasaki accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

"Don't be shy, make yourself at home here, and feel free to make yourself at home."

Takashi Hayato nodded and smiled after hearing this.

The two sat on the living room sofa, and Kanako began to steer the conversation toward Hayato.

Takasaki Hayato, completely oblivious to the complexities of human nature, foolishly began to meticulously recount the events of the day while Kanako wore an understanding and attentive smile.

And the more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became, deriving a sense of satisfaction from Kanako's occasional words of agreement and comfort.

However... he completely failed to notice the undercurrents surging in Kanako's eyes.

When he talked about his conversation with his sister in the room, and the final signing of the papers.

Kanako's face stiffened noticeably.

However, she immediately concealed her expression and put on a gentle look again.

Hayato didn't completely pull out of the game either; he kept the matter of the checks a secret.

He comforted himself, thinking that this didn't mean he didn't trust Kanako; the 100 million yen in the check was their joint property, and it didn't matter who had it.

Kanako clearly noticed the unnatural look on Hayato's face.

Hayato was taught from a young age to be honest. In his mind, lying was shameful. Even though he comforted himself, there was still some guilt on his face.

Kanako pretended not to see it.

She slowly moved closer to Hayato until she could lean against him completely, then took his hand and placed it on her chest.

Hayato was completely captivated by the rich fragrance emanating from Kanako; it was the scent of a girl!

He could feel Kanako's softness in his hands and couldn't help but swallow.

"Kanako-chan, w-what's wrong?"

His gaze furtively shifted downwards, but after meeting Kanako's gentle eyes for a moment, he blushed and looked away, continuing to stare at the white wall.

Kanako squeezed his hand tighter and said gently, "I'm sorry, you must have had a hard time!"

The word "hard work" struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

Is he working hard?

It may not be physically tiring, but it is very mentally exhausting.

Surrounded by an unfamiliar place, with no one to talk to, each day is meticulously planned down to the minute, like a machine executing code. Indifference and repression are the main themes of each day.

Hayato instantly broke down, pulling Kanako into his arms and burying his face in her hair, sobbing softly.

After a long while, Hayato finally came to his senses. As if he had been electrocuted, he released Kanako, got up and came to her. "Pfft!" He knelt down in front of her in a standard dogeza posture.

"I didn't poop! I was too excited just now, that's why..."

"In short, I haven't messed up at all! You can punish me however you want—hit me, yell at me, even call me..."

"Stop talking, Mori-kun!" Kanako's voice made Hayato stop.

Hayato stared blankly as he looked up.

His gaze flickered, and he saw a beautiful figure rush into his arms.

When Hayato was hugged by a girl for the first time, his heart was instantly filled with a strong sense of happiness.

"I'm so glad Mori-kun is alright! No, I'm more happy that Mori-kun has finally noticed me!"

"because……"

"Because I have fallen in love with Mori-kun. From the day I was saved by Mori-kun, his image has been forever etched in my heart!"

“I’ve always wanted to repay Mori-kun, but back then he was a young master from a wealthy family and lacked nothing… Today, when I heard that Mori-kun needed me, I was truly happy!”

"Now that Mori-kun is an ordinary person, I'm actually a little happy, because this way, Mori-kun won't be too far away from me!"

"You've really gone too far! Mori-kun, I am such a selfish girl... You, you won't hate me, will you!"

"Of course not! On the contrary, I love Kanako-chan just the way she is!"

Hayato, caught up in Kanako's confession, also lost his temper and blurted out his own confession incoherently!

He felt a warm glow in his heart: Kanako-chan's heart was his!

Kanako looked up from Hayato's arms, her big, watery eyes gazing at him. Then, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head shyly, saying, "I'm not going back today."

Hayato was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. His blood pressure spiked so high that he almost died from a hemorrhage! His heart pounded.

'Could it be...?'

Is the mysterious truth hidden beneath the fabric of a girl finally about to be revealed to herself?

'I want to see it!'

I really want to see it!

I want to see it now!

'But this is a road leading to an unfamiliar end. I have no experience with it. I hope Kanako won't mind!'

'what to do?'

'what do I do?'

'What I can do...'

'The only thing I can do right now...'

"Nana-chan, you—"

"Don't say it!" Kanako's big eyes welled up with tears of embarrassment as she covered Hayato's mouth, stopping him from continuing.

"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry, no, please guide me, this is my first time!"

Hayato released Kanako and bowed ninety degrees.

Kanako's cheeks flushed red: "Me too."

She shyly avoided Hayato's gaze, adding in a barely audible voice, "I want to take a bath!"

Hayato took a moment to realize what was happening, and then replied shyly, "Ah, um! Taking a bath, no, Kanako-chan, I'll definitely make you happy!"

"I believe you. You go ahead, the bathroom is over there, I'll wait for you outside..."

Hayato excitedly entered the bathroom, only to realize that he hadn't brought any change of clothes.

'Am I supposed to go out naked?'

'It seems like it might not be impossible...'

The sound of a showerhead saying "Wash, wash, wash..." came from the bathroom.

Outside the bathroom,

Kanako's eyes turned cold.

She poured herself a glass of warm milk, then took out a small white pill from inside her collar, crushed it with her fingers and sprinkled it in, a smile playing on her lips.

A few minutes later, Hayato, wearing a towel, came out of the bathroom.

He was enveloped in a mist of water vapor, which made him shiver when he encountered the cold air outside.

Kanako picked up the glass of milk and handed it to him.

"Warm your body."

"Thank you, Kanako-chan!" Hayato said shyly, then drank the glass of milk, which was filled with love, in one gulp.

Kanako waited for him to finish drinking, then kindly took the cup from his hand and looked straight at him.

Hayato was puzzled and was about to urge Kanako to take a bath, or even just...

But at that moment...

A dizzying, vertigo-like sensation surged up instantly, and Hayato felt as if he were in the depths of a sea of ​​clouds, or like a willow catkin drifting in the wind, his legs going limp as noodles...

His thoughts were like a stagnant pool of water in the pitch-black night, so still that not a ripple could be heard. Everything around him was irrelevant to him. He was like a piece of rotten wood, slowly collapsing to the ground...

In his final moments, he used his remaining thoughts to understand the reason.

His gaze questioned Kanako, but he was immediately filled with shock and fear!

Because… he saw a nearly transparent middle-aged woman standing behind Kanako, staring blankly at her… He tried to see more clearly, but the dizziness in his head grew stronger and stronger, and when he closed his eyes, he knew nothing more…

Seeing Hayato collapse, Kanako went into the bathroom and began rummaging through his clothes.

During the conversation just now, she keenly sensed a kind of confidence from Hayato's tone and expression.

In particular, he shamelessly told her that he would "make her happy"!

What gives such an ordinary, weak, and foolish guy the right to say that so confidently?

There's only one possibility: he has the confidence!

What is the source of this "confidence"? Considering his statement about signing the agreement and his somewhat evasive expression, it's clear he was referring to something else entirely.

She immediately understood: what the girl named Hazuki had said earlier was clearly "coercion," and if there was coercion, then there must have been "enticement."

Hayato is definitely hiding something – a "bribe".

as predicted.

While she was searching, she quickly found the check for 100 million yen in the inside pocket of her clothes.

Looking at the 100 million yen, she burst into a hearty laugh.

One hundred million yen!
