Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

She sat there blankly for several minutes before she took out the makeup remover from her makeup box and applied it stiffly on her mature and beautiful face.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Just as I was wiping my cheek with a wet tissue, there was a gentle knock on the bedroom door from outside.

"Mom, are you asleep?"

Shimizu Ai opened the door a crack and poked her head inside.

"Aiyi, why are you here?"

Seeing that the person coming was her most beloved little daughter, Shimizu Ai, Momonogi Eiko's tired expression disappeared, her slender waist straightened, and a gentle smile appeared on her cold and pretty face.

"I'm just taking a look..." Shimizu Ai showed a sunny smile, put her hands behind her back, and walked in lightly.

"boom--"

The little feet in pink cotton slippers kicked back lightly, and the bedroom door was immediately closed.

"Qiangqiang-"

She held the chopsticks in one hand and the reheated fried rice in the other hand and handed it to Momonogi Eiko. She said in a cheerful tone that showed her surprise, "You must be hungry, Mom."

"Ai Yi made a midnight snack, come and try Ai Yi's cooking!"

"Midnight snack?!" Momonogi Eiko was stunned. Looking at the bowl and chopsticks in her daughter's hands, her tired eyes couldn't help but become warm.

"That's great..." She didn't reach out to take it immediately, but gently ruffled her daughter's hair as if to praise her.

"The little girl who couldn't even beat an egg properly can now make fried rice so delicious!"

"No way, mom, you're praising me too early. Haven't we eaten yet?"

Although she said this, Shimizu Ai still showed a very pleased expression and handed the bowl and chopsticks to her mother Momonogi Eiko.

"Hmm, Mom, try it."

Momonogi Eiko picked up a small mouthful of rice with chopsticks and chewed it while looking at her well-behaved and sensible little daughter in front of her.

The warmth of the porcelain bowl felt in my palm, and the fresh aroma mixed with eggs and seafood stimulated my taste buds. After a tiring day, my hungry body was finally comforted.

Obviously it was a good thing that she should feel happy about, but as she chewed, Momonogi Eiko's eyes became red and she couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

"Is it delicious, Mom?"

Her daughter Shimizu Ai cast an expectant look at her, and Momonogi Eiko immediately replied with a smile: "It's delicious, better than anything mom has ever eaten in a five-star hotel!"

"Really? Onii-chan clearly said it was just average." Shimizu Ai's clear big eyes lit up.

"Don't listen to Xiaoshu. He's probably afraid that you'll become too proud and complacent." Momonogi Eiko comforted her softly.

Her daughter's heartwarming gesture hurt her broken heart even more, as if urging her to make a decision quickly.

Momonogi Eiko put the dishes on the dressing table, held up Shimizu Ai's cute little face, which was still childish, with both hands, and stroked it lovingly.

"Ai..." She looked complicated and asked Shimizu Ai in a tentative tone: "If mom goes to jail one day, can you and Rin take care of yourselves?"

"what--?!"

Hearing this, Shimizu Ai's eyes widened, her twin ponytails twitched, and her heart seemed to jump out of her throat.

“Onii-chan was right!”

“No, no!”

She shook her head like a rattle and quickly denied it: "Ai Yi can't do anything, Ai Yi can't do anything well!"

After talking about herself, she did not forget to mention her sister Shimizu Rin.

"Oune-chan is even more lazy and gluttonous. She doesn't even want to go into the kitchen once. She's even worse than Ai!"

The two little hands climbed up the slender hands of their mother Momonogi Eiko. Shimizu Ai's eyes were red and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Mom, you must not go to jail!"

"Qi Qi Qi... Actually, Ai is an undercover agent!" In a hurry, Shimizu Ai didn't care about anything else.

"Undercover?" A hint of confusion flashed in Momonogi Eiko's beautiful eyes.

“Um, that’s it…” Shimizu Ai’s eyes wandered, and she quickly explained: “Actually, I ambushed Onii-chan on purpose!”

"The purpose is to steal Onii-chan's personal seal!"

It was undoubtedly easier to talk about what she had done, so Qingshui Ai said vividly: "Isn't the ownership of the house half owned by mom and Onii-chan?"

"As long as I get Onii-chan's seal and sell the house, Mom can get at least 30 million yen."

"This will reduce the pressure on mom a lot..."

Of course, after all, Shimizu Ai just wanted to reassure her mother and give her some hope.

If she were really asked to steal Fujii Itsuki's personal seal, she wouldn't dare to do it even if she had ten times the courage!

It would be easier to learn from her sister Shimizu Rin and secretly have a baby...

When Momonogi Eiko heard her daughter Shimizu Ai's voice, she was surprised at her boldness and moved by her behavior.

"It won't work..." Momonogi Eiko smiled beautifully from the bottom of her heart, and her tired heart couldn't help but be comforted by her daughter's preference.

"Don't worry, Mom won't go to jail, and you can't have such thoughts again, otherwise it will be bad if Xiaoshu finds out."

"It's okay, Onii-chan won't bear to hit me." Shimizu Ai patted her plain chest confidently.

"At worst, I can give him a baby... um..."

After realizing that she almost said what was in her heart, Shimizu Ai quickly changed her words and said, "Ai means that Onii-chan is very good to Ai and she didn't take her anger out on Ai because of her mother's matter!"

"Is that so? That's good..." Momonogi Eiko smiled with relief and gently stroked Shimizu Ai's smooth hair.

"Maybe Xiaoshu is lenient with Ai because she is young and doesn't know anything about it."

"But……"

Momonogi Eiko turned her head and looked through the tightly closed door towards the room of her eldest daughter, Shimizu Rin.

"What should Rin do?"

"My eldest daughter, who is naturally cold and arrogant, must be feeling very tormented right now..."

Chapter 226 Star Upgrade Card

【Ding! 】

When he woke up in the morning, a familiar system notification sound rang in his mind. Fujii Itsuki then remembered that today was Monday, the day when the system mall was refreshed.

Submerging his consciousness into the system, Fujii Itsuki opened his personal panel.

【Ding! 】

"..."

【Ding! 】

[System Mall refresh completed! ]

【Skills】

「1. Basic Bicycle Repair (100 Revenge Points)」

「2. Basic Car Repair (100 Revenge Points)」

"3. Intermediate Fighting (1000 Revenge Points)"

【Props】

"Star Up Card (Small) (One-time Item Card) (10 Evil Points)"

"Effect: You can upgrade an existing primary skill to an intermediate skill!"

As usual, Fujii Itsuki started from the beginning and focused on the "skills category".

"...difficult to stretch."

Looking at the two basic skills at the beginning, Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Okay, he won’t brush the musical instrument this time. Does the system want him to change his career and become a repairman?

Skipping these two skills, he looked at the only intermediate skill in the mall, "Intermediate Combat".

His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, as if he had won ten consecutive games in a row, and a hint of satisfaction could not help but appear in Fujii Itsuki's eyes.

Although he possesses "deliberate punching" and "intermediate kendo", which undoubtedly gives him a great advantage in "strength" and "weapon fighting", he is somewhat lacking in close combat skills.

To be honest, in terms of fighting skills alone, Chiba Shinoko, a bad girl who received orthodox judo education, is much better than him.

but……

Some time ago, Fujii Itsuki's physical fitness was strengthened by the "Ryoma Spirit", and now he has drawn a practical skill like "Intermediate Combat", which can be said to be even more powerful.

Didn’t Chiba Xiaozi invite him to practice boxing over last night?

"Okay, let's practice it!"

Thinking of this, Fujii Itsuki turned his attention to the new props refreshed in this mall.

"Small Star Upgrade Card, can it upgrade a primary skill to an intermediate skill?"

"That sounds good..."

But 10 evil points can be exchanged for 1000 revenge points, which is equivalent to purchasing an intermediate skill, so he didn't make much.

However, the probability of the mall refreshing the same skill is very small. So far, Fujii Itsuki has only refreshed the "Basic" and "Intermediate" for "Professional Skill Mastery".

If you think about it this way, the role of the “Small Star Upgrade Card” is still very important.

Besides, we already have “small star upgrade cards”, and in the future there will definitely be “big star upgrade cards” that can upgrade intermediate skills to advanced skills!

With this idea in mind, Fujii Itsuki decisively chose to fulfill his promise.

【Ding! 】

[Intermediate fighting exchange successful! 】

【Ding! 】

[Star Up Card (Small) (One-time Item Card) exchanged successfully! 】

Along with the system prompts ringing in his brain, 1000 revenge points and 10 evil points were deducted together, and many close combat techniques suddenly appeared in Fujii Itsuki's mind.

Forearm hammer, swinging punch, knee strike, low kick, cross lock, Russian pendulum, etc., are not restricted by any school of martial arts, and the moves are simple and practical.

And, uh…elbow strikes.

With the foundation of "Intermediate Kendo", Fujii Itsuki digested these fighting skills in just a few minutes.

Twisting his neck to adjust to his energetic body, he looked at the "Star Upgrade Card (Small)" lying quietly in the system space and began to consider which basic skill to use it on.

Japanese cooking for beginners?

This skill was originally acquired impromptu while cooking at Chiba's house, and was used to win the favor of Aunt Chiba Rumi. Apart from that time, it has not been used many times until now.

Besides, the kitchen at home has almost become Ai Yi's private territory, leaving no room for him to perform.

As for the elementary piano and elementary guitar, they are for the purpose of learning by analogy and broadening my skill network. I just exchanged them last time.
