My daily anime romance in Tokyo

"Meihe, I don't like sweet things very much. I bought these cakes for you. Remember to eat them."

"Don't buy so much next time. I don't eat much."

After Aragaki Jun finished his meal, Takada Mitsuru sat down opposite him, took out a box of cake and started eating slowly.

Although the wild cat girl tried her best to hide it, Aragaki Jun could still tell from her subtle expression that she actually liked desserts.

Yes, which girl doesn’t like sweets?

She said she didn't like it, but she just didn't want him to spend money.

"..."

Aragaki Jun did not point out these things. He was really hungry at this time and ate three bowls of stew made by Takata Mitsuru in a row.

The wild cat girl’s cooking skills were not very good, but it was rare for someone of her age, and Aragaki Jun was very satisfied with the meal.

Mitsuru Takada deliberately controlled the speed of eating the cake. She finished eating almost at the same time as Jun Aragaki, and then immediately got up and started cleaning up.

Aragaki Jun lived the life of a wealthy landlord. He was slumped on the lazy sofa, feeling so comfortable.

After washing the dishes, Takada Mitsuru was about to fill the bathtub, but was stopped by Aragaki Jun.

After changing into pajamas, Aragaki Jun sat on the tatami and solemnly placed an envelope in front of her, as if he was transferring some money.

"Mikaru, open it and take a look. It's yours."

"Um…"

Takada Mitsuru looked at Aragaki Jun in confusion, carefully opened the envelope, and was frightened by Yukichi inside:

"Are you going to give me money to leave?"

"Ah? No no no! What kind of understanding do you have? Can you think positively?"

Aragaki Jun looked at the girl's red eyes and didn't dare to play tricks on her anymore. He quickly explained the whole story.

"Is this... won by Pachinko?"

Takada Mitsuru looked at the 50,000 yen in her hand, and her normally expressionless face revealed a bewildered expression:

"Xia Yuanjun, the money you usually give me is enough for me to spend, or even a lot more. If... you must give me this money, then use it for household expenses, and it will also be spent on me."

"Mizuru-chan, am I not doing a good enough job? Why do you have to be so distant with me?"

Aragaki Jun pretended to be deeply shocked, as if he had done something wrong, which made Takada Mitsuru not accept him:

"I know you have your own self-esteem and don't want to owe me too much. But now that we two are living together, aren't we relying on each other? Why do we have to separate so clearly?"

"No... No... I just... I'm afraid of causing you trouble."

Takada Mitsuru clenched her knuckles tightly, feeling deeply guilty about the emotions expressed by Aragaki Jun.

She could feel Aragaki Jun's care for her and knew that he treated her very well.

She was not resisting him, but she was afraid that she would get used to his kindness and suddenly lose this love one day, and she would collapse irretrievably.

Too many times of being tossed around and abandoned have made her habitually resisting possession, because if she never had it, she would not lose it. Now she can no longer bear to lose it.

"Aragaki-kun, I...I know I've gone too far, but please give me some time, I will...try to accept it."

"Well, I feel relieved when you say that. That's great, let's just treat it as a try this time, and you keep the money."

Aragaki Jun pretended to wipe away tears that didn't exist at all, and he grasped Takada Mitsuru's sensitive and fragile mentality perfectly.

Are you kidding? He has lived two lives, can’t he handle a cat-like girl?

"All right…"

Takada Mitsuru nodded helplessly. She was afraid that if she continued to refuse the money, she would hurt Aragaki Jun's feelings.

However, the wild cat girl made up her mind that this money should be considered as debt and recorded in her notebook.

The girl's idea was perfect, but what she didn't expect was that Aragaki Jun had anticipated everything, and how unrestrained he was:

"Meizuru, I'm very happy that you received this money. Let's make a promise today, okay?"

"What...promise?"

"If you can't accept certain things, you don't have to agree to them. But as long as you promise me something, you must do it, okay?"

"Okay...I'll remember that."

"Really? You will definitely keep this promise? Even if one day you promised me something you can't do, you will do your best to do it instead of giving up your promise, right?"

Aragaki Jun spoke very quickly. He took advantage of Takada Mitsuru's guilt towards him and directly made an unequal treaty.

——She must do what she promised him, but there is no such thing as what he promised her.

Faced with Aragaki Jun's eager and longing eyes, the wild cat girl couldn't say no to him, and finally, at his request, she made a pinky promise, promising not to change for a hundred years.

So, on this quiet night, Aragaki Jun used despicable means to obtain the precious guarantee from the wild cat girl.

Chapter 41 Different Accounting

As Takada Mitsuru agreed to the agreement, Aragaki Jun could no longer hold back his smile and was as excited as a fool.

At this time, the wild cat girl didn't know what was going on, she just thought it was a good thing that Aragaki Jun was so happy because of her.

But soon, Aragaki Jun, who had already gained power, revealed his wolfish ambitions:

"Meizuru, did you keep a record of all the money I spent on you?"

"Yes…"

Takada Mitsuru unconsciously tensed her body. She thought she had kept her accounts well hidden, but she didn't expect that Aragaki Jun already knew about it.

The girl couldn't understand why Aragaki Jun suddenly exposed this matter, and she was so nervous that she even held her breath.

Aragaki Jun was still in a friendly mood. He stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's tense cheek, with an expression like a weird uncle:

"Mikaru, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm not blaming you or anything."

"I know…"

"I just want you to promise me that you will only keep one copy of the account and keep it in one notebook, okay?"

"that is it?"

"Yes, it's that simple. Don't misunderstand me. I'm just worried that you might have misremembered it. It would be hard for us to reconcile the accounts. If you pay more and I lose, it would be bad for both of us."

Aragaki Jun's request was very simple. Although Takada Mitsuru felt a little puzzled, she still nodded and agreed.

"Meizuru, let's make a deal. You can't break your promise secretly."

"I won't go back on my promise to you."

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. Now take out your notebook."

"Ah? Didn't we already agree on this? Why..."

"I think that debt issues should be agreed upon by both parties. What if I spend money and you don't remember it~"

There was an expression of complete plan on Aragaki Jun's face, and Takada Mitsuru finally reacted at this time, but it was too late.

At Aragaki Jun's repeated request, she had to take out her account notebook and write under his watchful eyes.

Aragaki Jun didn't look through Takada Mitsuru's past account records. He didn't care that she had recorded a few tens of thousands of yen more in the past. The key was that he couldn't let her do things on her own in the future.

"Meizuru~ The way you recorded today's account is wrong. There's something wrong!"

"what happened?"

"First of all, you can't charge me for all the ingredients for this dinner. I ate it, too, so why don't you count my portion?"

"The money for the ingredients...is very little."

"Little? It doesn't count. You can't give me a penny less of my money! I definitely won't take a penny more of your money! I ate a lot for dinner, so I'll pay for two-thirds of the ingredients!"

Aragaki Jun sat next to Takada Mitsuru and made it difficult for her to keep the account, but everything he said was reasonable, so the girl had no choice but to do as he asked.

"By the way, you cooked today's dinner, so your wages must be shown on the account."

"Aragaki-kun, you cook for me every day, too."

"That's different. I cook every day, and that's for me to eat. Your portion is just a side dish. You just need to pay for the meal."

"But, today I cooked, and I cooked for myself!"

"No, that's two different things. I promised you a roof over your head and food to eat. It's my responsibility to keep you fed, not yours. Do you understand?"

What Aragaki Jun said seemed to make sense at first glance, but upon closer inspection it was full of loopholes. Takada Mitsuru thought of reasons to refute him, but also realized that such an argument was meaningless.

"Xia Yuanjun, what you said makes sense. How about this? From now on, I won't keep accounts for meals."

"Hey~ That's right, it's my responsibility to make sure you're well fed, and you're also paid, but you haven't received it yet~"

Aragaki Jun showed a meaningful smile, humming a strange song and walked into the bathroom. Takada Mitsuru sat upright on the tatami, looking at the account book in front of her, her cheeks turning red.

Yes, some kind of deal had been reached when he agreed to take her in, but he just hadn't asked for it yet.

"..."

Takada Mitsuru was in no mood to fiddle with the account books anymore. She listened to the sound of water running in the bathroom, hurriedly changed into her favorite pajamas, and made the bedding for both of them.

After doing all this, the girl's cheeks were still burning hot. She couldn't help but think of the day they met, in the heavy rain that seemed to be drowning Tokyo...

"Meizuru, I'm done washing, you go ahead and wash."

"OK…"

Takada Mitsuru was lost in her memories, but was interrupted by Aragaki Jun's reminder. The girl hurried into the bathroom, and the sound of the water was just like her mood at the moment.

"Alas... he is still a child."

Aragaki Jun had spent a lot of energy today dealing with Miura Yumiko, and he was feeling a little tired at this time.

He got into bed, listened to the sound of the wild cat girl taking a bath, and closed his eyes in a daze before he finished watching the two videos.

In the dream, there was a girl whose face could not be seen clearly, calling his name in a sweet voice.

Again and again...

Click~!

The wild cat girl opened the bathroom door and walked into the room quietly. She found a hair dryer from the drawer and was about to sit on the chair to blow dry her hair, but she found that Aragaki Jun had fallen asleep.
