Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"Yes..." Chiba Shinoko clenched her fists and then unclenched them. At her mother's urging, she seemed to have her spine pulled out and bowed slightly towards Fujii Itsuki.

"I'm sorry, Fujii Itsuki-san, please forgive me."

At this moment, all her pride was completely crushed into dust by the handsome boy in front of her.

Chiba Shinoko's delicate body was hunched over, and she no longer had any strength to lift a finger.

"okay, I get it."

"I hope Chiba Xiaozi can reflect on her life at home for a while after dropping out of school."

Seeing this, the female principal slowly signed her name on the withdrawal consent form.

As she put down her pen, the document became official.

Chiba Shinoko lowered her head in despair, as if she had lost her soul.

Chapter 38: Thieves

After glancing at the three big words "Upgrading" on the system panel, Fujii Itsuki turned and left the principal's office.

As for Chiba Rumi and Chiba Shinoko, they have to stay there to handle some procedures.

Back at school, Fujii Itsuki walked into the classroom from the back door.

"Why was Fujii called to the principal's office again? It looks like something bad is going to happen!"

"I'm not sure, but Big Sister Chiba will definitely be fine in the end!"

"Yes, this isn't the first time she has bullied her classmates."

"..."

The classroom, which was noisy and noisy just now, suddenly became quiet, as if a silencer was installed on the radio speaker.

Everyone turned their eyes to Fujii Itsuki at the same time, as if there was some strange energy hidden in his body, which was neither tall nor strong.

It was not until Fujii Itsuki sat back in his seat that everyone continued to gossip.

Before class started, Ogihara Saki bravely walked from the first row under the gaze of her classmates and sat in the empty seat in front of Fujii Itsuki's seat.

"Fujii-kun, why did the principal call you over again?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Ogiwara Saki's eyes. She held her chin with both hands and stared at Fujii Itsuki intently.

"Nothing, just being a witness." Fujii Itsuki replied softly, taking out the textbook he would use for class from his schoolbag and placing it on the table.

He didn't lower his voice, and most of the class could hear him.

"Witness?" Ogihara Saki tilted her head slightly.

"Well, it's just to prove that I have accepted Chiba Xiaozi's apology and allowed her to withdraw from school smoothly."

"Hey, Senior Chiba is going to drop out of school?"

"Yes, the principal has signed the consent form, and Chiba Shinoko is still preparing the paperwork. I guess she will pack up her personal belongings in her locker and leave school soon."

Fujii Itsuki patiently explained to Ogihara Saki with a calm expression, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

However, when his nonchalant voice reached the ears of nearby classmates, it stirred up waves of shock in their hearts!

"Did I hear that correctly? The leader of the second-year department, Chiba, is going to drop out of school?"

"Boasting, the big sister bullied many students on a daily basis. Many guys couldn't bear the humiliation and reported to the teacher, but in the end, it was left unresolved, right?"

"Then how do you explain that Chiba Xiaozi was taken to the principal's office by her parents today?"

"How should I know? I guess he was criticized and warned by the principal."

The students were talking about it, some believed it, while others naturally doubted it.

In Japan, school bullying has always been a perennial topic, with about one-third of students having suffered from bullying by their classmates to some extent.

These students basically chose to endure, and only a few dared to resist or directly transfer schools.

"Hey, look out the window!"

"Isn't that the Chiba boss?"

A sharp-eyed boy suddenly pointed at the window and said.

Hearing his voice, several classmates who loved to join in the fun came over one after another. Several dark heads pushed and shoved, crowding at the window to look towards the school gate.

Fujii Itsuki also looked in the direction of the sound.

Not far from the teaching building, Chiba Shinoko was walking towards the school gate with her schoolbag on her back and a large bag in her hands.

She lowered her head and stood beside Chiba Rumi like a zombie, as if she was afraid that others would recognize her.

"Are you kidding..."

"The big sister actually transferred to another school!"

Lying in front of the glass window, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

No one has ever thought that things will change over time.

It was the turn of the once arrogant and domineering Arakawa school leader to drop out of school and run away in disgrace!

The instigator was none other than the skinny and weak student Fujii Itsuki in their impression, who had average grades, a dull and docile personality except for a handsome face!

Everyone had different expressions.

For a moment, all kinds of gazes of admiration, curiosity, and fear were focused on Fujii Itsuki.

Holding her chin with both hands, Ogihara Saki listened to her classmates' discussion, her warm eyes looking at Fujii Itsuki's face without blinking.

"What are you doing, distracted?"

Ignoring the gazes of his classmates, Fujii Itsuki reached out and tapped the girl's forehead in annoyance.

"Hey——" Ogihara Saki rubbed her eyebrows embarrassedly.

"The teacher is here, let's go back."

Fujii Itsuki glanced at the figure approaching in the classroom corridor.

"Hmm..." Ogihara Saki said "hmm" without saying anything more. She reluctantly withdrew her gaze and walked to the front row of the classroom.

When the other students saw the teacher walking into the classroom, they also scattered like birds and beasts.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after the last public class.

Despite Ogihara Saki's persistence, Fujii Itsuki was taken to the tram station by the other party on a bicycle, and then took the tram to the convenience store where Higashio Hisahi worked part-time.

When it comes to convenience stores, Fujii Itsuki feels a little hesitant.

In addition to the salary he saved from part-time jobs, plus the rewards from the system and the compensation from Chiba Rumi, he currently has a total of 117 million yen saved.

It is roughly equivalent to 5 RMB, which is enough to cover his living expenses for two and a half years before graduation.

Now that the money problem has been solved, is there any need for him to work as a cashier in a convenience store every day, rain or shine?

“…Forget it.” Fujii Itsuki shook his head.

"Let's finish this week first, or this month first."

Like most office workers who want to change jobs, he chose to be safe and wait until the end of the month before telling his boss about his resignation.

I checked the upgrade progress on the system panel and it has reached 35%. I estimate that the upgrade will be completed by tomorrow at the latest.

"Click."

The train door opened, and Fujii Itsuki walked out of the station and walked towards the convenience store.

"Ding dong."

The automatic door sensor made a sound.

"Hey, is everyone here?"

As soon as he entered the door, several pairs of eyes looked at him.

There were five people standing in the huge convenience store.

In addition to Sakura Yuko, there is another girl who is about the same age as Fujii Itsuki, her name is Asada Ichiyo, and she is a student at a nearby school.

The remaining three are full-time employees of the store.

One is a young man about the same age as Daishi Narita, and the other two are older ladies.

It was just a dull Monday afternoon like any other, but six employees including Fujii Itsuki showed up at the convenience store at the same time.

The atmosphere in the store was silent, as if the air was stagnant.

"Fujii, you're finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you."

The first to break the silence was Sakura Yuko. She put her hands on her chest and spoke while standing behind the cashier counter.

Next was Asada Ichiha who was standing next to the refrigerator. She was about the same age as Fujii Itsuki and they had a good relationship.

"Fujii-senpai, the store manager is looking for you."

Asada Ichiha had short black hair and put her hands in her pockets as she spoke crisply.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking for me?"

Glancing at the five people in the store, Fujii Itsuki asked in confusion.

"Hey, didn't the manager inform you?" Asakura Ichiyo blinked.

"A thief broke into the store and stole a lot of stuff. The estimated value is around 200,000 yen."

"what?"

Hearing what Asada Ichiyo said, Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Is there a thief in the store?

Stole goods totaling more than 200,000 yen (≈ 10,000 RMB)?

Two hundred thousand! This is definitely far more than the minimum amount of theft stipulated by Japanese law.

Chapter 39 It Must Have Been Him

Convenience store theft is quite common in Japan.

This can be seen from many film and television works.

Due to the oppressive social environment, many office workers even sneak into convenience stores to steal in order to relieve stress.

"But, the thief who broke into the store doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?"

"Why are people looking at me weirdly?"

Fujii Itsuki frowned and asked Asada Ichiha, "Has the thief been caught? I remember the surveillance camera in the store is on 24 hours a day."

"…The surveillance happened to be broken."

Asada Ichiyo looked at Fujii Itsuki with a strange look.
