Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"Don't be ridiculous, Yuko-senpai."

Fujii Itsuki had a cold face and suddenly felt a little upset.

He really couldn't reconcile the young and beautiful face of Sakura Yuko with the old and ugly Wang Po in the TV series.

Although the store manager Matsumoto Yuriko is wealthy, beautiful and rich, just like Ximen Daguanren, she is not an unfaithful and lustful Pan Jinlian!

“….…Damn it!”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He has realized that this might not be as simple as "framing theft"!

But he cannot resign immediately, otherwise it will only confirm the accusation that he resigned out of guilt for stealing.

Before the truth came to light, Fujii Itsuki calmed down his agitated emotions.

"Yuko-senpai, the store manager has done her best by exempting me from the 100,000 yen charge. I can't shamelessly trouble her again."

He shook his head sincerely.

Money is money, friendship is friendship.

It is best not to confuse the two.

What's more, he was not at the end of his rope and couldn't even come up with 100,000 yuan.

"It is not necessary to beg her to waive all the compensation..."

After hearing Fujii Itsuki's decisive refusal, Sakura Yuko showed the expected expression.

"After all, this is 100,000 yen. Your monthly salary is only 80,000 yen at most, and you are still a student, and your relationship with your family is very strained."

She looked very open-hearted and always cared about Fujii Itsuki.

"How about this, Fujii, you can ask the store manager to be lenient with you for a few days."

"How many days of tolerance?"

"Yes, she will definitely agree to this small request!"

"Okay, I'll try again later..."

Fujii Itsuki nodded and agreed, but his doubts about Sakura Yuko grew deeper and deeper.

"Yuko-senpai, why do you always ask me to go to the store manager to beg for mercy?"

"Could it be that you took the merchandise that disappeared from the store?"

……

After getting off work from the convenience store, Fujii Itsuki was walking home along the streets of Minami-Senju.

As he felt the cool night breeze of early autumn, he recalled what had happened in the convenience store before.

Glancing at the system panel, the upgrade progress has reached 85%.

If the mall had not been inaccessible during the system upgrade, he would have exchanged for the "Truth or Dare Collector" and used it as soon as he became suspicious in the convenience store.

"Buzz."

The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

Fujii Itsuki took out his cell phone, and a line suddenly appeared above the screen.

One minute ago, from my good friend Ogihara Saki.

[Fujii-kun, are you off work yet? ]

After glancing at the content of the message and the sender, Fujii Itsuki lowered his head and continued walking forward, typing on his phone: "Well, I'll be home soon."

Kita Senju, Ogihara family.

Ogihara Saki, who had just finished taking a shower, had her hair loose and was wearing light pink pajamas. She sat on the bed with her legs crossed, staring at the screen of her mobile phone in her hand without blinking.

[So were you busy until late again today and didn't have dinner? ]

Her concern seemed to overflow from the words. She typed the line with her hands and hit send.

After a few seconds, the phone rang.

The person with the note "Fujii-kun" only sent two short words.

"……you guess."

"Do you want me to guess when eating?"

Pursing her pink lips, Ogihara Saki couldn't help feeling a little sweet in her heart.

It seems that she is involved in every detail of Fujii Itsuki's life, even something as trivial as eating.

I guess you didn’t…

[Well, congratulations on guessing it right, but there is no reward. ]

[Did you buy a bento for midnight snack again, or was the convenience store too busy to eat in time? ]

[I'm not that busy, I'm just not in a good mood today. 】

[Eh? Did something bad happen? ]

Ogihara Saki couldn't help revealing a hint of worry in her eyes, and she crossed her legs and stared at her phone.

[Nothing, just some trivial matters in the workplace. ]

Fujii Itsuki said casually that he was not a big mouth and did not like to talk about everything.

Besides, even if she told him, Ogihara Saki wouldn't be able to help, and it would only make her anxious and worried for nothing.

[Is that so…]

[My mother told me that we should always be on guard against others, whether in school or after entering the society and working.]

【Fujii-kun, be careful! 】

Chapter 41 System upgrade completed

"It's important to be on guard against others."

Fujii Itsuki smiled knowingly.

"This girl actually lectured me!"

He typed quickly in the Line chat box with both hands.

[I know. I'll be careful. Ogiwara, you're such a nag!]

“….…You’re being long-winded?”

Ogiwara Saki on the other end of the phone felt a lump in his heart, and his handsome and fair face couldn't help but look aggrieved.

"I'm saying this because I'm worried about you, right?"

"How come you don't realize that..."

wrong!

Ogihara Saki suddenly came to his senses.

This guy must have said this on purpose!

Ogiwara Saki gritted his teeth: "Bad guy!"

Having learned her lesson from being amused during the last chat, she did not apologize foolishly this time. Instead, she chose to remain silent, holding her phone without saying a word.

Sure enough, two minutes later, she received another message from Fujii Itsuki.

[Are you there? Why aren't you talking? ]

Seeing this, Ogihara Saki's delicate and beautiful face beneath her bangs outlined a smug smile.

[Yes, I have always been here, waiting for you to lose your patience and take the initiative to send me a message. ]

"……hateful."

Seeing that Ogiwara Saki replied to the message almost instantly, Fujii Itsuki twitched the corners of his mouth, and then smiled helplessly.

If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.

Today it was his turn to be bullied by the little girl Ogihara Saki.

[Okay, okay, although this is a bit long-winded, I am very grateful for the advice from Ogihara Saki-san! Bowing Little Man.jpg]

[You’re welcome, Fujii-kun! Bowing little man.jpg]

[You are too polite. Bowing little man.jpg]

[No, it was Fujii-kun who was too polite. He even used honorifics to me. Bowing little man.jpg]

【Yes, yes! 】

[No, no! ]

【Yes! 】

【No! 】

"..."

Obviously, it was a boring, meaningless, and even unreasonable conversation, but the two of them curled up the corners of their mouths at the same time, enjoying it wholeheartedly.

Chatting with Ogiwara Saki, all the frustration that Fujii Itsuki had felt in the convenience store was swept away unknowingly.

"Click."

Pushing open the door and returning to Fujii's house, Fujii Itsuki took off his shoes at the entrance.

"Onii-chan, you're back!"

Shimizu Ai, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, slid to her knees in front of Fujii Itsuki at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

The movements are as smooth as those of a figure skater, but the posture is not very elegant, so I can only give it a score of 1, no higher.

"You've worked hard today. Please put on your shoes."

She quickly took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at Fujii Itsuki's feet.

Looking at the attentive and fawning kid in front of him, Fujii Itsuki admitted that his previously slightly brighter mood immediately became stagnant again.

"Get up." Fujii Itsuki said unhappily.

“Yes…” Shimizu Ai held the wrist of one hand with the other, hung it in front of her belly button, and stood respectfully.

Fujii Itsuki curled his lips when he saw this.

This kid seems to have really immersed herself in the role of a maid.

Of course, given her personality, she is probably still pretending.

"Don't do these things in front of me. You don't think you can win my trust just by doing this, right?"

“Huh? What do you mean, Onii-chan… Ai didn’t understand…”

Shimizu Ai tilted her head slightly, her big eyes full of confusion.

"idiot!"

"What I mean is, you, the undercover, should quickly show us some real evidence!"

Fujii Itsuki grabbed Shimizu Ai's collagen-filled face and squeezed it.

"Do you know the letter of surrender?"

"If you don't give them something important, or a secret about them, why should I believe that you would be willing to be my undercover agent?"

"...Don't you have something on me?" Shimizu Ai pursed her lips and muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but increase the strength in his hands.

"Hey--"

"I say, Onii-chan, you've thought it through well, and you're right!"

Shimizu Ai tilted her face in the direction that Fujii Itsuki was pulling, and forced out a bright smile.

"It would be better this way..." Fujii Itsuki rolled his eyes at her, put on his slippers and walked towards the second floor.
