Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"slightly--"

Shimizu Ai took the opportunity to make a face at his back.

"Why are you so fierce!"

"It's just a token of surrender, it's you who didn't tell me earlier, not me who couldn't find it!"

"The secret between my sister and mother?"

"Is there something else that is extremely important to them?"

Touching her fair chin, Shimizu Ai seemed to be lost in thought.

……

[Each 1 evil point = 100 revenge points, and can be used to exchange for more powerful skills and props! ]

"…Evil fall?"

Fujii Itsuki raised his eyebrows.

This system seems a bit unserious, doesn't it?

Compared with the new functions added to the system, he was more concerned about whether the original mall was refreshed after the upgrade.

After opening the system mall, Fujii Itsuki breathed a sigh of relief.

【Skills】

「1. Basic Painting (100 Revenge Points)」

「2. Basic Japanese Cuisine (100 Revenge Points)」

【Props】

"Truth Collector (consumable item): You can designate a target and have them speak their heart out to you subconsciously within the next 5 minutes. (Usable times 2/2) (500 revenge points)"

Looking at the 700 revenge points remaining on the panel, this time Fujii Itsuki chose to redeem them without hesitation!

【Ding! 】

【The truth collector has been exchanged successfully! 】

[This item only supports face-to-face use and does not have remote functions. The host can bind the character face-to-face by silently reciting the word "bind" in his mind! ]

“No remote capability?”

Fujii Itsuki's expression remained unchanged.

This is harmless, anyway he decided to question Sakura Yuko in person tomorrow!

After taking off his coat and lying on the bed, Fujii Itsuki closed his eyes and fell into reminiscence.

All the things that happened some time ago, one by one, scene by scene, emerged in Fujii Itsuki's mind one by one, like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon.

I was weak and asked for leave, but Yuko-senpai was unexpectedly cheerful, and I was inexplicably told that the store manager liked me. Then, the store manager Matsumoto Yuriko suddenly visited me, and the excitement and encouragement on her face...

Finally, there is the “thief” in the store who is only heard of but never seen!

Putting all the events together, Fujii Itsuki opened his eyes with confidence.

……

The next afternoon, convenience store.

"Ding dong."

The automatic glass door opened, but the store was empty.

Fujii Itsuki glanced in the direction of the cashier counter, pushed open the door of the staff lounge and walked straight in.

In the lounge, Yuko Sakura took off her rustic dark green employee jacket, took out a maple-colored sweater waistcoat from her locker, and prepared to change her clothes and clock out.

"Click."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sakura Yuko was startled and quickly covered her upper body with her hands, as she was only wearing a pink bra.

Chapter 42 PUA

"You guy, you didn't even knock before coming in!"

Seeing that the person coming was Fujii Itsuki, Sakura Yuko's soft shoulders visibly relaxed.

She cast a reproachful look at him, then put on a T-shirt and sweater waistcoat in front of Fujii Itsuki, then swiftly took off her pants and put on a pleated skirt.

She seemed to treat Fujii Itsuki as a child, even though she was not much older than Fujii Itsuki.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to change your clothes?"

Sakura Yuko took out a pair of socks from the locker and glanced back at Fujii Itsuki.

I have to admit that she is only 20 years old, with a beautiful face and natural beauty. Even without makeup, her smile and frown reveal the pure charm that belongs only to a young girl.

"Click."

"Yuko-senpai, don't you have to avoid me when you change clothes?"

After locking the door of the staff lounge, Fujii Itsuki leaned against the wall, his eyes calmly looking at Sakura Yuko.

"If it were someone else, of course they would avoid him, but as for you..."

Sakura Yuko lifted her slender legs and put on white socks, then raised her head and looked at Fujii Itsuki with a playful look, "Hey, you are still a novice, right?"

She hit the nail on the head. Seeing that Fujii Itsuki remained silent, he grinned even more happily, like a general returning victoriously.

“…….How arrogant.”

This woman didn't treat him as a man at all!

Fujii Itsuki curled his lips.

However, he did not come to the lounge to be laughed at by Sakura Yuko, so he took the initiative to speak and took back the right to speak.

"I never thought that Yuuko-senpai, who wouldn't even hide from me when changing clothes, would actually do something like that behind my back."

Leaning against the wall, Fujii Itsuki looked at Sakura Yuko leisurely.

Hearing his words, Sakura Yuko paused in putting on her socks, then calmly put on her socks and put her feet into her shoes.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

After blinking her eyes, Sakura Yuko tied her shoelaces as if nothing had happened.

"The things lost in the convenience store were taken by Yuko-senpai, right?"

Fujii Itsuki's tone was relaxed, but it was like a sledgehammer hitting Sakura Yuko's heart.

Sakura Yuko's heart skipped a beat and she untied her shoelaces and then tied them again.

"Fujii, do you know what you are talking about?"

She used anger to cover up her inner panic, her pretty face showed a sullen expression, and her beautiful eyes glared angrily at Fujii Itsuki.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll get angry!"

"He actually guessed it?"

"That's right. Fujii and I have the best relationship in the convenience store. Even if he didn't notice my abnormal behavior a few days ago, he would definitely feel something was wrong when he thinks back on it later."

"But what if he guessed it? He definitely won't be able to find any evidence!"

Thinking of this, Yuko Sakura seemed to be injected with a dose of cardiotonic, and her embarrassed and angry face gradually relaxed.

"Fujii, Senior knows that you were wronged, and Senior is willing to believe you!"

"But that doesn't mean you can just bite randomly!"

"That's too much. You should know that you are my best friend in the store!"

In addition to standing on the moral high ground and pointing fingers, she also played the emotional card.

"You kid, you are really..."

"After receiving your call that day, I rushed over from home without stopping!"

As she spoke, Sakura Yuko's pretty face revealed a hint of sadness and grievance, as if Fujii Itsuki had done something that was hated by God and man, and had done something wrong to her.

Most people, seeing her pitiful and pure appearance, would immediately start to doubt themselves, or at least feel a little shaken.

"Youko-senpai, you know my personality. I won't speak without being absolutely sure."

However, Fujii Itsuki crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and made a decisive sound.

"Not only do I know that you did it, but I also know that the store manager ordered you to do it!"

"boom--"

It was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Sakura Yuko's head, and her aggrieved expression was instantly frozen on her face.

Sakura Yuko's face was frozen, her heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest, and even her eyeballs were trembling uncontrollably.

"impossible!"

"How did he know that?"

"He must be cheating me, he must be!"

"Fujii, your jokes are getting too extreme!"

As if deceiving herself, Sakura Yuko moved the stiff muscles of her face, and an indignant expression appeared on her delicate face.

"You even suspect the store manager!"

"The manager of the entire convenience store is the one in charge. Does she have to go to the trouble of ordering me to steal her own things?"

"Theoretically, it's not necessary..." Fujii Itsuki nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, "But Yuko-senpai said before that the manager is very interested in me."

"So, her target has been me from the beginning!"

The corners of Fujii Itsuki's mouth turned up, revealing a handsome and refreshing smile.

"This is a typical workplace PUA. If I had less social experience, you might have succeeded in getting me!"

PUA, the full name is “Pick-up Artist”.

The original meaning is "pick-up artist", which refers to people who are very good at attracting and fascinated the opposite sex and their related behaviors.

Nowadays, PUA mostly refers to one party in a relationship exercising emotional control over the other party through verbal suppression, behavioral denial, and mental suppression.

Workplace PUA, to put it simply, is the "emotional control" that occurs in the workplace.

It is common for middle-aged male bosses to pua female interns who have no social experience in the workplace.

The usual means are to implant psychological suggestion, flatter, and then give an impossible task or make them make mistakes, and then naturally help to solve the problem, provide emotional support and take advantage of the opportunity.

Fujii Itsuki put his hands in his shirt pockets, with a faint smile on his lips, and slowly walked towards Sakura Yuko step by step.

"I have to say, although your method is a bit simple, it is very practical."

"After all, those involved are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see more clearly."

He looked at Sakura Yuko, whose face turned pale, with sharp eyes and began to explain slowly.
