One hundred ways to resist the Bandoli women

Of course, the house price is also the cheapest.

Shengren is already very close to the truth he wants to know.

Does he really want to go deeper?

Do you really want to open this cat box?

Katsuto didn't think about this question at all.

Opened that door.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

In the dark room, the first thing that hits your nose is the smell of cigarettes and alcohol.

Leaving aside the alcohol, the strong smell of cigarettes would shorten the lifespan of non-smokers living here by many years.

Then, there are the occasional, gloomy “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

For some reason, my neck suddenly felt a little itchy.

Shengren was not in the wrong place.

Because through the open door, Shengren could see the figure in the bathroom who was wiping his body after finishing his shower.

Also, there were cigarette butts and wine bottles all over the floor.

Chapter 14: Above the Corpse (26/)

He succeeded again.

Katsuto overcame Toyokawa Shoko's wariness and saw the truth that she would rather quit the team without saying anything than to hide it.

Any thoughts?

No.

In the words of legendary flower arrangement master and Afterglow lead singer Mizukuri, it's just like usual.

No ripples.

But let him speak out.

Use red for real.

Crychic is dead and there is no way he can be resurrected.

Toyokawa Shoko had killed it with her own hands.

It would be nice if the words spoken could be in red font.

Now, the only thing we can look forward to is what kind of flowers will be born on the body of the chick.

Let's go.

Shengren turned around and prepared to leave quietly—

Just as he came quietly.

however.

Snapped!

The sharp sound of a beer bottle breaking made Shengren pause.

And it only takes a split second.

Toyokawa Shoko came out of the bathroom.

Then, his eyes just happened to meet those amber pupils.

Shengren suddenly felt that his luck had been a bit bad recently.

After just a brief pause, he ran into Toyokawa Shoko who had just come out of the bath.

How small is the probability of this happening?

...No, that's not right.

I would say my luck is as good as ever.

No matter how small the probability of something happening is, it is possible for it to happen to him.

After all, winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket is a low-probability event, and being struck by lightning while walking on the road is also a low-probability event.

There is no difference in essence.

At this time, Toyokawa Shoko had just finished taking a bath, and her long blue hair was not tied up, falling like a waterfall.

She was wrapped in a white bath towel. From this angle, it looked like there was something very likely inside the towel...

"..."

"..."

Katsutomo and Toyokawa Shoko just stared at each other silently.

Of course, Toyokawa Shoko was surprised as to how Katsuto could find this place.

She didn't feel like she was being followed.

Did you hear this from someone else?

Obviously she didn't even tell Mu.

Toyokawa Shoko could only assume that Katsutomo had found this place with the help of Ushiromiya.

What are you doing here?

Toyokawa Shoko wanted to put on a stern face and question Shengren, but the next second.

"What's the point of living like this?"

The middle-aged man's voice broke the standoff between Katsuto and Toyokawa Shoko.

Katsuto looked over there—

That middle-aged man, can’t be said to be unkempt, but at least he should be considered unkempt, naked, with messy hair and rough clothes, right?

I saw him slumped on the ground, his face flushed due to the alcohol.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly started crying loudly, then picked up a bottle of wine and wanted to smash it on his head.

"father!"

Toyokawa Shoko's expression suddenly changed. She rushed over, grabbed his hand, and tried to stop him.

But how can a girl's strength compare to a man's? Fengchuan's father just threw his daughter out with a flick of his hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Fengchuan's father cried again and raised the beer bottle, wanting to hit himself on the head.

"Um..."

Toyokawa Shoko fell against the wall in pain. The towel wrapped around her body was a little loose, but she had no time to care about it now.

"Hirasawa-san, stop it..."

Even though she had said before that Shengren was "really high and mighty", at this point, she had no choice but to ask for help from Shengren, who she herself described as "only thinking about himself".

Then, in a critical moment, Toyokawa Shoko still called out Katsuto's past surname.

But is Katsuto's reaction so slow?

As soon as Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth, he rushed into the rental house and grabbed Toyokawa's father by the neck.

He slammed his head hard against the wall.

"—"

The crisp sound echoed in the dilapidated rental house.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't react at all to what was happening. After the sound, she saw her father falling to the ground.

"Don't worry, I can still control my strength. I'll be unconscious for half a day at most. I'll be fine."

Nothing will happen...

Ok……

Toyokawa Shoko declined to comment on this point.

"Rather than this, why don't you clean it up?"

"oh oh!"

(King Crimson!)

Katsuto helped Toyokawa Shoko clean up the beer bottles and cigarette butts on the floor, wipe off the dust, and open the doors and windows for ventilation.

It takes half an hour to be busy.

"call."

Katsuto exhaled.

Now, this cramped rental house finally provides a place to stay.

"Well, um, do you want to..."

Obviously, after the fact that she tried so hard to hide was exposed, it was difficult for Shoko Toyokawa to pretend to be stubborn in front of her husband, Katsuto.

However, she was obviously in a dilemma.

When someone comes to your home, offering them a cup of tea is the most basic thing to do. Toyokawa Shoko wanted to do this, but suddenly realized that there was no tea at home.

"No, thanks. I have something else to do tonight. I'm leaving now."

Katsutomo turned his back to Toyokawa Shoko and waved.

"I won't ask anything, and I won't tell anyone anything—although I don't think you'll feel reassured either."

That's not it.

Shengren's guarantee is indeed credible—

If you say don't ask any questions, then you really don't ask any questions.

But I just didn't ask.

Anything beyond the guarantee is not credible at all.

Katsuto turned his back to Toyokawa Shoko, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he paused for two or three seconds.

And Toyokawa Shoko stared at the tall figure, her eyes trembling slightly.

He originally wanted to say, "Let me help you, using the power of the Ushiromiya family."

Or, without mobilizing the family's assets, he could use what he knew and mastered to give Toyokawa Shoko some small suggestions that could improve her life.

For example, he introduced her to work at Yuze Cafe and recommended her to buy meat at Kitazawa Butcher Shop.

However, he didn't say a word of these things.

The reason is simple -

Wall of heart.

Toyokawa Shoko herself was rejecting them.

Even her own childhood playmate, Mutsu Wakaba, Toyokawa Shoko hasn't seen him in the past six months.

It's caused by excessive self-esteem.

She is now like a landmine that will explode with the slightest touch.

To be honest, Shengren had no idea what attitude and distance he should use when talking to her.

Why do some people think that if they give Shoko Toyokawa a little help at this time, she will accept help and move her heart?

Damn, this is such a hassle.

If Katsuto was a stranger who had nothing to do with Crychic and her before, I wonder if Toyokawa Shoko's attitude would soften.
