Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

The sound of the ship's whistle leaving the harbor blew long in the early October morning.

The heavy vibrations from the huge ship's hull pushing away the sea water spread from her seat throughout Kuroda Yoshiko's entire body.

The ferry, carrying 400 passengers, will depart from Tokyo Bay, pass through Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Kochi, sailing 1400 nautical miles from Tokyo in Honshu all the way to Japan's southernmost prefecture, Kagoshima in Kyushu.

That is Kuroda Yoshiko's hometown.

After divorcing her ex-husband due to her gambling addiction, Kuroda Yoshiko gradually became a laughing stock in the family and was despised by her parents and relatives.

This is the social environment in Japan. A woman abandoned by her husband will be regarded as a disgrace to the family by her family. Not to mention that Kuroda Yoshiko herself has a lot of bad records.

"call--"

The salty and humid sea breeze in the early morning blew through her short black hair. Kuroda Yoshiko stood behind the railing of the deck, looking out at the sparkling deep blue sea.

From this moment on, she will bid farewell to Tokyo, where she has lived for many years, and return to her hometown in Kagoshima Prefecture.

"Click——"

Opening the shoulder bag slung across her waist, Kuroda Yoshiko took out a savings card.

All the proceeds from this stock trading are stored in the card, a total of 1.1 million yen!

In fact, as early as Friday when the stock price doubled, Kuroda Yoshiko sold all the stocks without seeking Momonogi Eiko's consent.

The reason why I went to have coffee with Momonogi Eiko on Saturday was just to test her attitude and lower her vigilance.

Because she was using insider information of the stock market, Kuroda Yoshiko was certain that Momonogi Eiko would not dare to call the police.

Otherwise, the other party who holds the majority of the funds will be sentenced more than her, not less.

With this 1.1 million yen, plus Kuroda Yoshiko's own education and resume, she can find an easy and stable job in her hometown of Kagoshima Prefecture, even if the salary is not high.

She did not plan to go to her family who viewed her as a disgrace to the family. Instead, she planned to live alone, and after paying off her debts, she would use the remaining money to live out the rest of her life peacefully in Kagoshima, a small place far away from the bustling city.

As for Momonogi Eiko, her "surface best friend", she could only gloat over her misfortune and say, "Sorry Eiko, you asked for it!"

Putting the savings card back into her purse, Kuroda Yoshiko held the railing and looked at the bustling Tokyo that was getting farther and farther away.

Slowly, the inner passion faded away like the ebbing tide.

As she got further and further away from Tokyo, Kuroda Yoshiko's heart was filled with nervousness, fear, uneasiness, and confusion about the future that quickly took over her entire body and mind.

Momonogi Eiko has never misjudged Kuroda Yoshiko. Her best friend is essentially a cowardly punching bag.

Cherish your life when doing big things, forget your righteousness when you see small gains.

There are some cleverness, but not much.

He has been a coward all his life and has achieved nothing. After ten years in university, he is still just an ordinary lecturer.

Kuroda Yoshiko took out the savings card again.

"The ship will stop at Yokohama once. It's not too late to regret now."

"but……"

She bit her pink lips and clenched the savings card in her hand.

“I’m so unwilling!”

Why is it that from childhood to adulthood, Yingzi is the only one who bullies me!

……

As an international metropolis, Tokyo receives an average of 200 million tourists per month.

When people leave, people come.

On Saturday night, Fujii Itsuki and Ogihara Saki hugged each other and rested early after taking a hot spring bath in the hotel.

The next morning, they woke up early and started their itinerary. They compressed the attractions they were supposed to visit in a day and a half into half a day.

After visiting the "Chibi Maruko-chan Theme Park" and Shimizu Irie Elementary School, the two bought gifts and took the train to the Wagyu BBQ restaurant where they wanted to eat the most.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Fujii Itsuki and Ogiwara Saki, with full stomachs, went to visit the nearest Buddhist temple as a walk to help digest the food.

After doing all this, the two returned to the hotel contentedly, packed their luggage, and took the Shinkansen back to Tokyo.

……

Sumida-ku, Tokyo.

In a charcoal grilled beef ribs restaurant, fresh beef is pressed on the grill with tongs and grilled with a sizzling sound.

Unlike those who leave and those who come, Shinjo and his daughter are "Tokyo natives" who have remained silent.

"Dad, it's been nine days!"

"There's still no news about that Momonogi woman!"

The daughter of a New Town lawyer was flipping the grilled beef ribs with tongs and showing an impatient expression.

"I think she doesn't want to return the family property!"

Hearing his daughter's complaints, Lawyer Xincheng kept his expression unchanged and took a sip of soju.

"It's human nature. We should have expected this a long time ago."

"But didn't Dad tell us last time to be prepared for both scenarios?

"Do we really have to wait for her for two weeks?"

The daughter of the Newtown lawyer put the burnt ribs on a plate beside her. Her annoyance was almost fully reflected on her face.

She really couldn't understand why her father, who was obviously a senior lawyer, would choose to do nothing now, or even stand by and watch the situation develop.

"Have nine days passed?" Lawyer Xincheng thought for a moment, holding a white wine glass in his hand.

"Jasmine, let's go to Arakawa District to find Mr. Fujii's son this afternoon."

"Hey, really?" Lawyer Xincheng's daughter is named Xincheng Jasmine. At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes and she looked at her father with surprise.

She had begged her father to act quickly two days ago, but was rejected every time. Unexpectedly, he agreed today.

"Jasmine, I told you that as a lawyer you must be humble and not impatient." Lawyer Xincheng put down his wine glass and took out a stack of documents from the briefcase next to him.

"Do you think these few days are just to give Miss Momonogi some time?"

As he spoke, he handed the document to his daughter, Shinjo Jasmine.

"During this period, I asked someone to check the income and expenditure of Fujii's house in recent years, as well as Ms. Momonogi's personal income."

"Although the expenses of the Fujii residence are very high and the situation is not optimistic, I am confident that I can help Mr. Fujii's son obtain a guaranteed inheritance of 50 million yen."

"Besides that, I have already helped him draft a lawsuit against Miss Momonogi Eiko."

Collect evidence, organize evidence, file a lawsuit, and then kill with one strike!

That’s what a lawyer does!

"Helping the client secure a legacy of 50 million is a great experience, and it will be of great help to you in the future when you can stand on your own feet."

"So I will assist you in this case!"

Hearing her father's steady voice and looking through the documents in her hand, Xincheng Jasmine's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she couldn't wait to say, "I understand!"

"It turns out that Dad has already prepared everything!"

"Now everything is ready, it's time to give that arrogant woman a taste of her own medicine!"

Chapter 120 When did it become so cheap?

It was almost three o'clock on Sunday afternoon when I took the Shinkansen from Shizuoka Prefecture to Tokyo.

After sending Ogiwara Saki home, Fujii Itsuki walked back to the Fujii residence along the bank of the Sumida River, carrying a bag of souvenirs he had bought in Shizuoka Prefecture.

"Click."

Inserting the key into the door lock, Fujii Itsuki slowly pushed open the door of Fujii's house.

Everything at home was the same as before. After all, he was only away for a little over a day.

The living room was unexpectedly quiet. Unlike usual, a girl with twin ponytails didn't rush out with a bright smile on her face.

To be honest, without Shimizu Ai standing at the entrance to greet him every day for several weeks, Fujii Itsuki was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"boom--"

After closing the door behind him, Fujii Itsuki changed into slippers and walked into the living room of Fujii's house.

"Is there no one home?"

He glanced around the living room and found that the cups on the coffee table were empty and the dining table was clean, with no signs of lunch.

However, it is normal that no one is at home at this time.

Momonogi Eiko is probably still working overtime at the company, and Shimizu Rin should have taken the bus to the university in Bunkyo Ward.

As for Shimizu Ai, this little female kid is so popular in school, she is probably out playing with her friends.

Putting down the travel bag and the bag, Fujii Itsuki walked into the kitchen and took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator.

Just as he unscrewed the lid and took a few sips, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps on the stairs on the second floor.

"Da da da."

The girl who made this sound stepped on the floor with her bare white feet and walked down from the second floor impatiently.

"Onii-chan, you're back!" Shimizu Ai forced out a bright smile, opened her slender, pale arms, and like a nimble and light butterfly, she threw herself into Fujii Itsuki's arms.

Feeling a pair of soft hands suddenly wrapping around his waist, Fujii Itsuki, who was drinking water with his head tilted back, almost spit out the water.

"Are you a ninja?"

"Why are you trying to launch a sneak attack?" He screwed the bottle cap back on and scolded Shimizu Ai in annoyance.

“Hehe…” Shimizu Ai seemed not to hear the disgust in his tone. She shook her petite body and pestered him, “Onii-chan, how is it?”

“Is Shizuoka Prefecture fun?”

"Not bad." Fujii Itsuki responded casually.

Although I stayed in the hotel with Ogihara Saki for the whole day, the fun of this trip was not diminished.

The two of them went to Shimizu Port, Irie Elementary School and the Buddhist temple, saw Mount Fuji and the Pacific Ocean, and visited the theme park.

Although the trip was short, it added a lot of beautiful memories to the two people who had just started dating.

"Oh, right..." Fujii Itsuki seemed to remember something and took out a small box from the shopping bag on the sofa.

"This is a gift Ogiwara brought you." He handed the box to Shimizu Ai.

"Hey, a gift from Sister Saki?" Shimizu Ai's eyes lit up and she took the box from Fujii Itsuki's hand.

Through the transparent wrapping paper, you can see a small and cute Chibi Maruko-chan figurine placed in the center of the box.

"Thank you!" Shimizu Ai said while holding the figurine in her arms, unable to let it go.

"What's the use of thanking me?"

"I'm too lazy to pass the message for you, just send a message on Line to thank Ogiwara yourself." Fujii Itsuki tied up the shopping bag and said lightly.

"I will, I will!" Shimizu Ai nodded obediently when she heard that.

“But…” She dragged out the last part of her sentence, stretched out a white and tender little hand in front of Fujii Itsuki, and said with a pouty mouth: “Sis Liansaki prepared a gift for me, Onii-chan wouldn’t come empty-handed and bring nothing, right?”

After hearing what Shimizu Ai said, Fujii Itsuki, who had originally decided to carry the bag upstairs, suddenly stopped.

"never mind."

"Although I don't really want to give you a gift, but..." He paused, then took out a larger box from the shopping bag.

“I’ve bought it all.”

Fujii Itsuki piled the big box on top of the small box that Shimizu Ai was holding.

"this is……"

"Puzzle?" Shimizu Ai stared at the words "100% restoration of Chibi Maruko-chan's house" on the box.

"No, it's building blocks." Fujii Itsuki explained softly.

"It's a good deal for you, little brat, but it's only for you."

"Just me?"
