My daily anime romance in Tokyo

There was a rustling sound in the air, and Aragaki Jun finally put his knife away, looking childish and funny.

However, Kato Megumi looked at him and couldn't laugh at all.

"Aragaki-san, why did you secretly take my things?"

"Hey, you said it's yours, is your name on it?"

Aragaki Jun actually wanted to make a joke to cover up all the extremely difficult topics for Kato Megumi at the moment.

But Kato Megumi didn't think so. She was so embarrassed that she was seen by Aragaki Jun, and she just wanted him to leave quickly.

It's not that she hates him, because if she hated him, she could now convince herself to be strong and it doesn't matter whether he stays or not.

It’s not that she likes him, but because she truly likes him, she can put aside her self-esteem and cry to him for help.

She and he were friends, but she didn't want him to see her in such a miserable state.

She hoped that if they could never meet again in the future, the image of her in his mind would remain as indifferent as it was in the past.

In Aragaki Jun's impression, Kato Megumi seemed to be able to face everything calmly no matter what happened.

This was the first time he saw her cry, just like other girls.

"I admit it. Here is your stick. Take it."

Brigadier General Aragaki stuffed the branch into Kato Megumi's hand. She looked at him with grievance and sadness, and threw the branch to the ground with tearful eyes:

"I don't want it anymore, you can take it."

"alright."

Aragaki Jun didn't care about Kato Megumi's attitude. At this moment, she was like a curled up hedgehog. Although her whole body seemed to be covered with thorns, she was actually scared in her heart.

"Kato-san, wherever you want to go now, I'll go with you."

"No, thank you."

Kato Megumi pursed her lips, turned around and limped away, but without the wooden stick as a crutch, she could not walk fast enough.

A sixteen-year-old girl is at the blooming age, and her heart is always sensitive and fragile.

Aragaki Jun also knew that it was actually very embarrassing for her to meet in this situation.

But is it okay to pretend that I know nothing?

"..."

Aragaki Jun looked at Kato Megumi's embarrassed figure, suddenly quickened his pace, ran to her side, and picked her up.

"what are you doing!"

"Take you to the hospital."

Aragaki Jun ignored Kato Megumi's struggle and took her to a nearby clinic in front of the surprised eyes of passers-by on the street.

Kato Megumi fell down the stairs yesterday and got two bruises on her legs, with her ankle being the most seriously sprained.

After a night, it was now swollen like a bun, but fortunately the bones were not injured.

The nurse at the clinic helped her bandage her clothes. Kato Megumi pursed her lips and said nothing. When it came time to pay, she insisted on paying, but Aragaki Jun didn't care.

Finally, the nurse recommended that she should use crutches and gave her a 20% discount for Aragaki Jun's sake.

Kato Megumi didn't want to spend more money, so she naturally shook her head and refused.

Aragaki Jun also thought it would be a good idea not to buy crutches, so he squatted on the ground as soon as he came out of the clinic and let her climb onto his back.

"Come on, I'll carry you."

"Need not."

"You're already injured like this, and you're still stubborn."

"It's all my own fault!"

"If your injury gets any worse, you might become lame in the future!"

Aragaki Jun deliberately scared her, and Kato Megumi was really scared and lay on his back.

Aragaki Jun knew very well that Kato Megumi was being shy and resistant not because she hated him.

She just felt very inferior now and wished she could find a place to hide and never see him again.

Many times, the happier your life was in the past, the sadder it becomes when things become difficult.

"..."

Kato Megumi lay on Aragaki Jun's back, with her head down and not saying a word, her mood was like a ball of yarn being scratched by a cat.

Aragaki Jun didn't mind this. Kato Megumi's body was as light as a feather, but it felt soft and nice to the touch.

He held the girl's thigh without leaning his hand upwards, behaving like a true gentleman.

The two of them walked through the busy neighborhood in silence. Kato Megumi didn't say where she wanted to go, and Aragaki Jun didn't know where to go either.

In short, just carry her on your back.

Walk through the crowds, through the narrow streets, and watch the white pigeons take off in the square.

Aragaki Jun could clearly hear the girl's breathing. When there were many people around, she would always bury her cheek in his shoulder. He wondered if she was shy.

In a secluded park, Brigadier General Aragaki put Kato Megumi on a bench and went to a vending machine to buy two bottles of water.

"How are you, Kato-san? Are you feeling better?"

"Ah."

Kato Megumi took the water he opened and drank it in small sips, with beads of sweat faintly visible on her forehead.

Aragaki Jun tilted his head back and gulped down the entire bottle of water in one breath. He shook the empty bottle at Kato Megumi, looking very proud.

"Kato-san, can you tell me what happened at home?"

"Actually, you already knew about it. It's about... my dad's stock trading."

After walking around on Aragaki Jun's back for so long, Kato Megumi is no longer as depressed as before.

In a way, she felt better knowing she could tell other people about these things.

"The first time I knew about my dad's stock trading was three months ago..."

Kato Megumi knew the pressure her father was under and could actually understand his choice.

But understanding does not mean agreement. After all, the current situation is caused by his greed.

Aragaki Jun sat next to her, listening to her story quietly, occasionally looking at her and nodding.

During her narration, Kato Megumi also talked about her feelings at the time, and her premonition was not very good.

After hearing the whole story, Aragaki Jun could also understand Kato Megumi's father.

The island country's stock market had been rising before, and the whole society was filled with an impetuous atmosphere, with people only thinking about making quick money.

"This can be considered... fate."

Aragaki Jun didn't want to go into detail about how the whole thing was everyone's fault and that this country would have to go through this sooner or later.

The only words he could use to comfort Kato Megumi were, "Your father loves you very much."

"..."

Kato Megumi told Aragaki Jun what was weighing on her mind, and she felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her body, and she felt much more relaxed.

Aragaki Jun sat next to her and threw the empty bottle into the trash can accurately:

"Kato-san, I want to help you, what can I do?"

"No, no, it's too much trouble for you."

Kato Megumi didn't know how much money her father owed, but considering that his wife and children had left him, the amount must have been terrifying.

Chapter 318 You owe me this money

Kato Megumi had seen how generous Aragaki Jun was when spending money at the gold shop. Although she didn't know where he got so much money, she knew that he was the only person who could help her.

Of course, Kato Megumi thought about asking Aragaki Jun for help, but after hesitating for a long time, she gave up and made up her mind not to tell him what was happening at the moment.

With such a large sum of money, how long will it take her to pay him back? This is beyond the scope of help.

Kato Megumi had already thought of this conclusion, so when Aragaki Jun asked her about it, she answered decisively:

"Don't worry, Aragaki-san. I can handle it myself."

"How do you solve this problem? Drop out of school and work, or sell your body?"

"My dad has divorced my mom, so I will live with her and won't have to bear the debt."

"You really don't care about your dad? There's a chance to save her if you just ask me for help."

"No, this is my family's business. I have no right to make you pay such a high price. Thank you."

Kato Megumi looked at Aragaki Jun and refused without any room for maneuver.

The girl's eyes revealed a request. She was not asking Aragaki Jun for help, but asking him to give up.

Her family has fallen to this state because of her father's choice and it is also the price they deserve.

Her own family affairs, whether she dies or rots, should not be linked to him.

Kato Megumi was almost saying - please leave me alone and let me fall by myself.

"..."

Aragaki Jun was angered by Kato Megumi's stubbornness. He just asked her to beg him, not to sell her body. Why was she so stubborn?

"Kato-san, are you just going to watch your family fall apart? I want to help you, and you want me to beg you?!"

"Xia Yuan, I am very grateful to you. It is enough for you to have this intention. Don't get involved."

Kato Megumi stood up with her hands on the chair and whispered to Aragaki Jun:

"Goodbye."

Kato Megumi thought in her heart that the two of them would probably never see each other again. She was very grateful for Aragaki Jun's gentleness, but she could only wish him happiness in the future.

"you--"
