My daily anime romance in Tokyo

"He has said everything he wanted to say."

Aragaki Jun opened the drinks on the table, poured them for each girl, and then sat back in his seat:

"He came to me because he saw that I was a good fighter and wanted me to protect his safety."

"Huh? He did all this just to hire you as his bodyguard?"

"Normally, there's no need to go through so much trouble, but the key problem is that the person you want to kill is not a human, but a demon."

"Demon? Is that... a code name for some killer? Or some organization?"

"No, they are just... similar to the demons in the Bible... the embodiment of evil. To humans, they are a completely different race."

Aragaki Jun's explanation made Miura Yumiko widen her eyes, and she thought he was making excuses to fool him.

However, no matter how she stared, Aragaki Jun's expression was serious and he was not joking.

"Demon... How is that possible?"

“It is indeed possible.”

Yukino Yukinoshita sat on the right side of Miura Yumiko and spoke for the first time since entering the room:

"When I was very young, my grandfather told me many stories, including the story of him encountering a demon and being rescued by two people."

"Is it true? Can you tell me?"

"To be precise, what he described happened about 25 years ago. The demon he encountered was a very scary monster, but at the time... it was on the run."

"Escape? Are there angels trying to destroy it?"

"I'm sorry, Miura-san, there are no angels in this world. The ones chasing that devil are a masked man and woman. They seem to be young, about the same age as us."

The whole story described by Yukinoshita Yukino was very simple. There was not even any fighting process. The demon was killed with one punch, leaving only a black crystal on the ground.

After listening to Yukinoshita Yukino's story, Miura Yumiko was still a little skeptical, but did not raise any questions.

On the other side, Yuigahama Yui had completely believed it, and her eyebrows stood up in fear:

"Yukinoshita-san, will there be more demons appearing now?"

Chapter 202: Hayato Hayama's long-awaited question

"Of course the devil still exists, otherwise why would Yamauchi Yuichi ask me for help?"

Jun Aragaki made up a thrilling story about Yuichi Yamauchi, who was targeted by the devil because of his greed and is now in danger.

"Although he offered me a lot of money, there was no way I could do such a dangerous thing, so I rejected him directly."

"Yes, we should reject him and make him die miserably!"

Yumiko Miura believed Jun Aragaki very much and had no doubts about the story he told. She really thought that this was the truth of the matter and that now everything was over.

Aragaki Jun was able to deceive Miura Yumiko because she was simple-minded, but Yukinoshita Yukino, who lived under the same roof with him, would not be so easily deceived.

However, although Yukinoshita Yukino knew that he was lying, she did not expose him but just listened quietly by the side.

After the incident with Yamauchi Yuichi was over, Miura Yumiko's focus shifted elsewhere:

"Aragaki-kun, do you have anything to do this afternoon? If not, go shopping with me."

"Let's change to tomorrow. I have something to do this afternoon."

Aragaki Jun didn't dare tell Miura Yumiko that he would be accompanying Takada Mitsuru to a social gathering in the afternoon. But Hayama Hayato would also be there, so it was impossible to keep it a secret.

The best outcome, of course, is that Yumiko Miura doesn't care where he's going in the afternoon and turns the conversation to tomorrow's itinerary, but is this possible?

"What are you going to do this afternoon? Can I go?"

"Didn't your father call you not long ago? Are you not going home?"

Yukinoshita Yukino put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the cup and took a sip of juice, looking at Miura Yumiko with a slightly sarcastic expression.

Faced with her obvious malice, how could Miura Yumiko be weak? She immediately retorted that she didn't need to meddle in her affairs.

But in order to share the firepower with Aragaki Jun, Yukinoshita Yukino did not end the topic. Every word she said would touch the pain point of Miura Yumiko, making the girl so angry that she wanted to throw chopsticks at her face.

"Okay, let's eat, stop arguing."

Aragaki Jun acted like the head of the family and ended the quarrel between the two with a stern face. Yuigahama Yui watched all this and silently stuffed food into her mouth.

After successfully changing the subject, Yukinoshita Yukino ignored Aragaki Jun's grateful eyes and prepared to leave after eating:

"My sister and I have an appointment to go shopping together this afternoon. Bye."

"Well, slow down on the road."

Aragaki Jun waved at Yukino and breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

Yukinoshita Yukino is too sensitive. I always feel guilty when she is around me.

"Yumiko, where do you want to go tomorrow? It's your choice."

"Oh... forget it. I don't think I'll go out tomorrow."

Although Miura Yumiko was very upset about Yukino Yukinoshita's mockery of her, she was indeed right. Her father asked her to go home as soon as possible. She would definitely be scolded tonight and had to stay at home and be a good child tomorrow:

"But you have to remember this time. Next time I invite you, you can't refuse."

"Don't worry, when you can go out, just call me anytime~"

Aragaki Jun wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and his gratitude towards Yukinoshita Yukino for helping him out reached a new level.

Yumiko Miura and Jun Aragaki's date was ruined. She was in a bad mood and couldn't eat much. On the way, she received a call from her father and was asked to go home quickly.

"Oh...I don't want to eat anymore. I'm going back now."

"Take Yuigahama-san with you, maybe you can escape this disaster."

Aragaki Jun's reminder made Miura Yumiko's eyes light up, and she hurried out with Yuigahama Yui.

She seldom brings her classmates home. If Yuigahama Yui were around, her parents would always have to consider her face, so she might be able to avoid being scolded.

After the girls left, Aragaki Jun was the only one left in the room. He was not used to the sudden silence.

After dinner, Aragaki Jun checked the route and took the bus back to the street near Mingyuan High School.

On the way, Aragaki Jun called Hayama Hayato again. They had originally agreed to meet at a coffee shop, but as soon as he got off the car, he saw Hayama Hayato waiting for him.

"Are you impatient for the sorority? Wait for me here."

“This place is more convenient.”

There was only one-fifth of the water left in Hayato Hayama's hand, and the juice he handed to Jun Aragaki was not cold at all. He had been waiting here for a long time.

It seemed that Aragaki Jun had something to say, so he found a nearby cold drink shop and chose a secluded location.

"I'd like a large cup of strawberry condensed milk ice cream, what would you like, Hayama-san?"

"A cold drink is all I need."

Hayato Hayama didn't seem to sleep well last night and kept rubbing his temples with his hands.

Compared to his sunny and handsome appearance in the past, Hayato Hayama has become much more gloomy recently, but this kind of depressed handsome guy is also very lethal to girls.

"Aragaki-san, why did you start eating ice cream? Because of her habit?"

"I can't help it. Youmei is a food lover. She always orders large portions even though she can't finish them all. I eat her leftovers every day and I actually like them."

"So, you and...Miura-san are already together? Congratulations."

"Well... if you want to say you're together, it's true, but we're still a little short of a chance to fully confirm our relationship. She was hurt so deeply by you, she must be a little scared."

"I admit that I made a big mistake in choosing her, but I didn't lie to her!"

Hayato Hayama took a deep breath. He had been struggling with that scene for a long time. He had always wanted to question Aragaki Jun. This time he finally had the chance:

"Aragaki Jun, do you know what you are doing? You are obviously with her, but you are still involved with others..."

"Hmm? This kind of questioning is not your style. Normally, if you knew I was cheating, wouldn't you help me hide it?"

Aragaki Jun looked at Hayama Hayato calmly. It should have been him, as the one who had done something wrong, who should have avoided the gaze, but after a while, it was Hayama Hayato who looked away.

"I...saw you and Sister Yang No outside the old house of the Yukinoshita family..."

"Oh~ So you were there at that time. I was wondering why she was so enthusiastic for no apparent reason."

"Aragaki-san, why, you are with Miura-san, but you still want to cheat on him..."

"Alas...you are too naive. Do you know why Yang Noi doesn't like you? A very important point is that you are too upright."

"Nonsense! I've known her for a long time, and she's always said I have a good personality. What do you know!"

Hayato Hayama cares a lot about Yukinoshita Haruno. He feels that what Aragaki Jun said is a slander against her, so he is particularly excited.

But Aragaki Jun looked at him with pitiful eyes and tapped his fingers on the table a few times:

"Ye Shan, girls like you to be honest because such people are suitable to be friends, and only suitable to be friends. Do you understand?"

Chapter 203 He Wants to Be Decadent

Jun Aragaki doesn't hate Hayato Hayama's personality. After all, he is considered a pretty good guy in an island country full of perverts.

However, he and Yukinoshita Haruno are from two different worlds, and most of the impression that Hayato Hayama has of her is made up in his mind.

"You knew her when you were little, and now it's been so long. Do you really understand what she has become?"

"..."

Hayato Hayama opened his mouth, wanting to say that he had been paying attention to Yukinoshita Haruno and knew what she was doing now.

But, do these few bits of information really mean we understand her?

Hayato Hayama fell into silence, and Jun Aragaki didn't say anything either. At this time, the waiter brought over the ice cream, and Jun Aragaki picked up the spoon and ate a piece of ice cream.

"Aragaki-san, why... did she choose you?"

"Instead of asking this question, you might as well think about it carefully. The Yukinoshita family needs her to find a husband to marry into the family, so why not you?"

"I... don't know. I try very hard to live up to her standards."

"It's not a standard question. The most important thing is that she doesn't like you and doesn't want to have any contact with you. You are very popular among the girls in high school, but she is not."

"Actually, I always felt that you are not a good person. I am much better than you..."
