My daily anime romance in Tokyo

This is the way of life. If you want to take shortcuts, it's okay under normal circumstances, but once the situation is critical, you will pay the price in blood.

Kato Tomosai took a deep breath, wiped his face with a towel, looked at himself in the mirror, and made up his mind.

He pushed open the toilet door, looked at his wife and daughter who were eating, and called his wife to the bedroom...

When Kato Megumi saw that her father was in a bad mood, she put down her chopsticks, walked to the bedroom door, and put her ear close to it.

In fact, the conversation in the bedroom did not require Kato Megumi to get so close because their voices were too loud.

Kato Tomosai proposed the idea of ​​divorce, but his wife of course would not agree, and he was so anxious that he couldn't help but shout out.

After several words of persuasion failed, Kato Tomosai slapped his wife in the face and told her to take their daughter and leave immediately.

"Let's go! Let's go right now! Time is urgent. I'll write a statement about the divorce first, and you and I will sign and seal it together. If there's enough time, I'll take the time to go through the formal divorce process."

Kato Tomosai never beat his wife. He felt remorseful and painful, but people always have to pay the price for their actions.

Kato Tomosai did not tell Hayasaka Fumio that he would clear his inventory a little earlier, so he still got some money.

Ignoring his wife's refusal, he stuffed all the passbook stamps into her hands and asked her to take them out as soon as possible.

Kato Tomosai was very worried because he was being watched by the people from the Shonei Society and he didn't dare to go and get it himself.

"Let's go... let's go quickly."

Kato Tomosai waved his hand to let his wife leave, he lay down on the bed without taking off his shoes and covered his head with the quilt.

He didn't dare to look at his crying wife, let alone his daughter's disappointed eyes.

Let’s go, let’s all go, what else can we do?

Kato Tomosai didn't even dare to commit suicide. He had to live to take responsibility. Otherwise, even if he divorced, Masanobu might come after his wife and daughter.

Those people, without money to pay off their debts, can do anything.

For many people who are in debt, their wives and daughters are seen as assets and tools.

"..."

Kato Tomosai hid under the quilt, not daring to hear the sound of his wife and daughter leaving and closing the door.

After a long time, he crawled out of the quilt, looked at the empty room, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Everyone has to pay the price for their actions, even if it is just greed.

What Kato Tomosai didn't know was that his wife and daughter were standing outside the door at this moment.

They listened to his constant apologies, covered their mouths and dared not make a sound, and left quietly with tears in their eyes.

Everything is sliding irreversibly into the abyss.

This scene is not only happening in the Kato family, but is also happening in countless other families.

In a country where capital is supreme, there will always be economic crises and man-made disasters like this.

Because we are all human beings, and if there are no constraints, we will definitely oppress each other.

No one resents the cruel society, they just feel resigned that they are not in the upper class.

Some people never want equality. They want a chance to move up so that they can release their desires without restraint.

A country is made up of countless people, and certain prices need to be paid again and again, just like being cut into pieces of flesh.

However, the thousands and thousands of miserable Kato Tomosai also represent the countless giant crocodiles that are eating with their mouths full of oil...

Chapter 315: Family ruined is an adjective

In Kato Megumi's memory, her father Kato Tomosai was a man who cared very much about his family and was very gentle to her and her mother.

In Kato Megumi's impression, he had never lost his temper with his mother. When they occasionally had a quarrel, he would apologize quickly.

From childhood to adulthood, he was reluctant to say harsh words to her even when she made mistakes.

Having such a father, Kato Megumi is very happy and likes him very much.

But now, there's no going back.

Kato Megumi listened to the entire conversation between her parents. She didn't even have time to eat the lunch on the table. She and her mother had to leave quickly.

Looking at her mother's red eyes, Kato Megumi didn't even know how to comfort her. She could only listen to her and pack some important things as soon as possible.

It was like a nightmare, everything seemed to have no beginning or end, but all the cherished things were gone.

Kato Megumi was carrying a large backpack that she had bought specifically for mountain climbing. Her small body was completely hidden in the shadow, but she had no time to feel sad.

After leaving home, the mother suffered a major blow and looked dazed. If Kato Megumi hadn't supported her, she would have been almost hit by a car.

Kato Megumi wanted to discuss with her mother where they should go, but her mother did not respond after several attempts.

Kato Megumi knew where her grandfather's house was, but it was not the right time to go back in such a hurry and without knowing why.

After walking along the street with her mother for a while, Kato Megumi found an Internet cafe where they could have a place to stay.

Internet cafes in island countries have the basic conditions for long-term residence and provide basic service guarantees of food, accommodation and sanitation.

Fortunately, although Kato Megumi left home in a hurry, she took with her the pocket money she had saved over the years.

Kato Megumi lives with her mother. From the perspective of saving money, a single room in an Internet cafe is barely enough. Eight hours costs 1430 yen after tax, and twenty-four hours costs 3960 yen after tax.

After putting the things they brought with them in the box, Kato Megumi poured a cup of hot water for her mother and asked her to stay there to watch over the luggage.

After coming out of the box, Kato Megumi went to the bathroom to wash her face. Looking at the pale and desperate face in the mirror, her emotions finally broke down.

"Woooooooo..."

Covering her cheeks, Kato Megumi cried very quietly. Even when other people came in, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to wash her face so that no one would see how haggard she looked.

In the current situation, she cannot collapse yet, because her mother has been hit harder and needs her care.

"It's okay...it's okay..."

Kato Megumi looked at the pure gold bracelet on her wrist given by Aragaki Jun, and at one moment she considered whether she should sell it in the desperate situation.

When she sorted out her thoughts, Kato Megumi hated herself in her heart again. She was thinking about how to sell the gift that Aragaki Jun gave her.

After walking out of the bathroom, Kato Megumi's depressed emotions did not relieve at all.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"fine…"

"Do you need help? Do you really need money?"

"No, thank you."

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I'm very generous. Remember my phone number."

In places like Internet cafes, many people live as hard as refugees, and many impoverished girls who run away from home have no choice but to sell their bodies.

Although Kato Megumi looked sad, her beautiful face was more likely to arouse men's desire, and people with ulterior motives came over and talked to her.

Kato Megumi waved her hand to reject the man and hurried to the bar. The man did not chase her, but just gave her his number.

"..."

Kato Megumi ran to the door of the Internet cafe and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the man did not chase her.

Gu~!

Lunch was left on the table at home but was not eaten. Kato Megumi was very hungry after all the hasty work.

Walking out of the Internet cafe, Kato Megumi thought calmly about the current situation. She didn't know what to do in the future, so she could only try her best to save money.

Kato Megumi walked around the neighborhood and bought two bento boxes at a convenience store, wondering what time in the evening she should come for the half-price bento boxes.

When checking out, Kato Megumi bought another pair of masks and planned to buy a hat tomorrow and try to avoid people in the future.

Although she had just been harassed, nothing happened when Kato Megumi returned to the Internet cafe this time.

When she arrived at the door of the private room, Kato Megumi knocked on the door first, said "I'm back", and then turned the door lock with the key.

The mother leaned against the wall blankly and didn't say anything when she saw Kato Megumi.

"Mom, it's time to eat."

Kato Megumi opened the lunch box and put the disposable chopsticks aside so that her mother could eat at any time.

After doing all this, Kato Megumi sat down next to him, opened her lunch box, and started eating in small bites.

The man who just chatted with her will definitely look for her again in the future. Today's money has been paid, so she will stay for one night for the time being.

Tomorrow, I will take my mother away from here, or go to another Internet cafe.

"..."

Kato Megumi was thinking about tomorrow's plans and finished her lunch box without realizing it.

She touched her stomach and felt that she was not full yet, but Kato Megumi didn't want to go out again.

Kato Megumi tried to talk to her mother, but still got no response.

"what……"

Kato Megumi's eyes were sore and she wanted to cry, but her mother was still by her side, so she could only be strong.

Curled up in the corner of the private room, Kato Megumi hugged her knees without saying a word, not knowing what to do.

The private room was very quiet, with almost only the sounds of Kato Megumi and her mother's breathing, but occasionally someone walked by outside the room, and the footsteps always made Kato Megumi nervous.

Fortunately, towards evening, Kato Megumi's mother finally responded and wanted to drink water.

"Mom, wait a moment, I'll get you a cup of hot water."

Before leaving the box, Kato Megumi hurriedly put on a mask and ran out in a hurry, almost bumping into someone on the road.

When Kato Megumi came back, the glass of water she had prepared for her mother on the table was empty.

"Mom, you have a bad stomach, you can't drink cold drinks."

Kato Megumi sat next to her mother, held her hand, and felt her fingertips were cold.

"Mei, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"Mom, it's okay. It's going to be fine."

"So...when will things get better?"
