Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Although Tomoda Minako really wanted to tell Hojo Saki Rei about this as soon as possible, she didn't have any classes for her own grade in the morning.

It wasn't until noon that she had the chance to meet Hojo Saki Rei.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the cafeteria, and Hojo Saki Rei was looking at Tomoda Minako with a puzzled expression.

“Minako-san, do you have something important to tell me in the middle of the day?”

Looking at Tomoda Minako in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but ask at this moment.

Originally, Hojo Saki Rei planned to have lunch with Asahi Rinka and the others.

However, Tomoda Minako found him and said she had something to tell him at noon, so Hojo Saki Rei came to the cafeteria with Tomoda Minako.

“There is indeed something I need to tell you, and it’s a big deal, a really big good thing. Saki Rei-kun, what I’m about to say might shock you, but don’t get too excited.”

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei's question, Tomoda Minako replied with a smile.

“What big deal? And a really big good thing?”

Hearing Tomoda Minako say this, Hojo Saki Rei became even more curious about why Tomoda Minako had called him here, and quickly continued to ask.

Hojo Saki Rei had no idea what good thing, let alone a really big good thing, could have happened to him.

He knew that just last night, Tomoda Minako was still worried about her identity being exposed.

Yet, the next day, she came to tell him that a great good thing had happened. How could this not make Hojo Saki Rei curious and puzzled?

Looking at Hojo Saki Rei in front of her, Tomoda Minako didn't waste time and said directly: “Didn’t you ask me what I was worried about last night? It was just when you had come to my house.”

At this point, Tomoda Minako paused for a moment.

Seeing Hojo Saki Rei's puzzled expression, she spoke again: “The reason I was worried at the time was, firstly, because the matter of your identity had been exposed, and secondly, because there was a spy from another organization in our school.”

When she said the word “spy,” Tomoda Minako looked at Hojo Saki Rei with a serious expression.

Being stared at by Tomoda Minako like this, Hojo Saki Rei suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

Because he always felt that Tomoda Minako's gaze towards him carried a hint of ill intent, as if Tomoda Minako had already treated him as the spy she mentioned.

He couldn't possibly be a spy.

“Wait, Minako-san, you don’t think I’m that spy, do you?”

Seeing Tomoda Minako still smiling and staring at him, Hojo Saki Rei immediately asked.

He was no spy, and he didn't want to be suspected by Tomoda Minako.

Most importantly, the way Tomoda Minako looked at him seemed to be telling him that he was that spy, which made Hojo Saki Rei feel somewhat flustered.

If the Yamaguchi Organization considered him a spy, he would have to spend some time explaining himself.

“What are you thinking? How could I suspect you’re a spy? I mean that spy has already been caught, and you’re the one who caught him.”

Seeing Hojo Saki Rei's expression, Tomoda Minako immediately rolled her eyes at him, then continued.

“I caught a spy? How would I know? When did I do such a thing? And I didn't even know there was a spy in the school, so how could I have caught him?”

Hearing Tomoda Minako say that she didn't suspect him of being a spy, Hojo Saki Rei finally breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to ask.

“This was a mission given to me by the Yamaguchi Organization, so of course you wouldn’t know. And I haven’t told you yet.”

“As for why I said this spy was caught by you, it’s because this spy is Haruta Sanjirō. Didn’t you ask me to report to the Yamaguchi Organization a few days ago about Haruta Sanjirō’s involvement in that case?”

After Tomoda Minako said this, she didn't continue speaking.

“You mean the Yamaguchi Organization has already started investigating him, and the result of the investigation is that he is that spy?”

After Tomoda Minako said this, Hojo Saki Rei immediately reacted and then asked.

“That’s exactly what I mean. Saki Rei-kun is really smart. I only said this much and you already guessed it.”

Tomoda Minako said with a smile, looking at Hojo Saki Rei.

After receiving Tomoda Minako's confirmation, Hojo Saki Rei felt a little bit of joy in his heart.

During his time in the Yamaguchi Organization, Hojo Saki Rei had not done anything for the Yamaguchi Organization.

He also knew that the Yamaguchi Organization had always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since he had helped the Yamaguchi Organization resolve such a big hidden danger this time, the Yamaguchi Organization would definitely reward him.

As soon as he thought of this, Hojo Saki Rei immediately felt even happier.

“Then should the Yamaguchi Organization give me some reward? What is the Yamaguchi Organization’s reward for me this time?”

Although Hojo Saki Rei had caused this matter unintentionally, it was still his credit, so Hojo Saki Rei did not decline.

What he cared about most now was naturally the Yamaguchi Organization's reward for him.

As Hojo Saki Rei's words fell, Tomoda Minako rolled her eyes again at this moment.

“Oh, you really don’t know how to be modest at all. You’re just thinking about getting the Yamaguchi Organization’s reward.”

After Tomoda Minako said this, she gave Hojo Saki Rei another annoyed look, then continued: “But you’re right about that. After all, you did help the Yamaguchi Organization complete a mission, so the Yamaguchi Organization naturally won’t treat you unfairly.”

“As for the reward you asked about, I don’t know what it is. I only received the news this morning that you had found the spy. Other than that, I don’t know anything else.”

Tomoda Minako said seriously.

But when she saw Hojo Saki Rei still looking at her with anticipation, she knew that Hojo Saki Rei must be very concerned about this, so she continued: “But rewards are usually bonuses. As for other special rewards, I haven’t received any.”

“A bonus is good. I’m short on cash right now.”

Although he had some expectations for the Yamaguchi Organization's reward, Hojo Saki Rei was also very happy that the Yamaguchi Organization would give him money.

“Hmm? You’re short on cash?”

When Hojo Saki Rei mentioned the reward, Tomoda Minako thought Hojo Saki Rei wanted some special reward, but she never expected that after she mentioned the bonus, she saw Hojo Saki Rei's excited expression.

It seemed that Hojo Saki Rei really liked this kind of reward from the Yamaguchi Organization.

For a moment, Tomoda Minako somewhat doubted whether her understanding was wrong.

“Don’t you still have money? Why are you short on cash? Don’t you want the Yamaguchi Organization to reward you with other things?”

“For example, some special items? Or some other position?”

Tomoda Minako asked curiously.

“I do hope the Yamaguchi Organization can give me other rewards, but the Yamaguchi Organization doesn’t just give me whatever I want.”

“As for money, who would dislike having less of that?”

Hojo Saki Rei said with a smile.

In fact, Hojo Saki Rei was indeed somewhat interested in other things from the Yamaguchi Organization.

After all, he also wanted to see the difference between the things given by the Yamaguchi Organization and the rewards given by the system, and which one was better.

But he also knew that such things were not something he could have just because he wanted them.

Furthermore, he had only assisted the Yamaguchi Organization in catching a spy; this wasn't a huge功劳.

Considering this, it was already quite good that the Yamaguchi Organization could give some monetary rewards.

As for Tomoda Minako, after hearing Hojo Saki Rei say this, she also felt that what Hojo Saki Rei said made sense.

After lunch, Hojo Saki Rei headed straight for the classroom.

“Rinka, why are you back so quickly?”

“By the way, you didn’t eat, did you?”

As soon as he arrived in the classroom, Hojo Saki Rei saw Asahi Rinka resting with her head on the desk, and Hojo Saki Rei immediately asked.

“No… I just feel a bit unwell, I’ve already eaten.”

Hojo Saki Rei’s voice reached her ears, and Asahi Rinka also looked up at that moment, then smiled at Hojo Saki Rei.

However, Hojo Saki Rei could tell from her complexion that she seemed to be in a lot of discomfort.

In this situation, Hojo Saki Rei knew without a doubt that it must be her menstrual period.

After a few simple words with Asahi Rinka, Hojo Saki Rei didn't disturb her anymore.

On the other side.

Inside a secret room.

Ever since Haruta Sanjirō was brought here, he had been afraid, fearing that he would never return.

At first, he could still be stubborn.

But later, realizing that if he didn't confess something, he would definitely not be released and sent home, Haruta Sanjirō could only honestly confess some things.

However, as he confessed, his past actions were also questioned by the other party one by one.

Facing the other party's interrogation, Haruta Sanjirō had no way to resist and could only confess everything one by one.

Of course.

The reason Haruta Sanjirō confessed was also because these people had promised him that as long as he confessed everything, they would let bygones be bygones.

It was also because he knew that these people belonged to the high levels of the government, and the things he said were crucial to them, that Haruta Sanjirō was willing to reveal those secrets.

Moreover, during his time here, he also began to seriously reflect on the things he had done before.

Looking back, Haruta Sanjirō felt some regret upon realizing he had done so many wrong things.

At this moment.

Looking at the empty interrogation room with only himself, Haruta Sanjirō's heart felt much calmer.

Although there was no one here and it was empty.

But for Haruta Sanjirō, it was also safe enough.

Those people hadn't come to find him, which meant he still had hope of living.

After experiencing so many things, and with the current exposure of the truth, what Haruta Sanjirō cared about most was whether he could survive.

Clang.

Just as Haruta Sanjirō was still wondering when those people would let him go, the iron door of the interrogation room was opened.

“Haruta Sanjirō, you can go back!”

Just as Haruta Sanjirō was startled by the sound of the door opening, thinking that his judgment by these people might begin again, a familiar face suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Before he could say anything, that person directly said to him.

Originally, upon seeing this person, Haruta Sanjirō felt somewhat intimidated by the other party due to previous reasons.

But now, this person was saying that he could go back.

For a moment, Haruta Sanjirō wept with joy.

He had been worried before that even if he said so much, these people would still punish him severely.

But he never expected that he could actually go back now.

How could Haruta Sanjirō not be happy about this?

“Alright, the Yamaguchi Organization will let bygones be bygones for what you’ve done before. This doesn’t mean that everything you did was right, nor does it mean we’re afraid of the people behind you. It’s because you’ve rendered meritorious service to the Yamaguchi Organization. The information you provided us with earlier was very helpful.”

The person said directly to Haruta Sanjirō again when he saw his excited expression.

Hearing the other party say this again, Haruta Sanjirō finally completely relaxed.

He knew he was no longer in danger.

“After you go back, don’t do those old things anymore. As for your identity, you can continue to conceal it; the other party probably doesn’t know you’ve been exposed yet.”

“So after you go back, you should continue as you were before, but you must make things clear with us before doing anything, otherwise…”

The person began to talk incessantly with Haruta Sanjirō about what he needed to do after he left, and finally even threatened Haruta Sanjirō.

As the person stopped speaking, Haruta Sanjirō nodded heavily.

From today onwards, Haruta Sanjirō was no longer the same Haruta Sanjirō as before.

Just as Haruta Sanjirō had been released not long ago, the Yamaguchi Organization began a new round of meetings again.

“Let’s talk. Haruta Sanjirō’s contact person’s identity has also been revealed, and according to Haruta Sanjirō, he is dissatisfied with our country’s high-ranking officials. His current identity is the leader of the country’s most secretive dark organization, Shadow Hand. How should we deal with this contact person next?”

At the meeting, the leading man glanced at all the key members present and immediately asked. (End of chapter)
