People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

Otonashi Sota took a tough attitude and said that he had to take care of this matter.

If it were any other matter, it would be fine, but for something like this that requires dealing with a dispute with an adult, Otonashi Sota was still a little worried that Xiangzi wouldn't be able to handle it. After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl, and her father was unreliable.

"But...."

Toyokawa Shoko was still a little hesitant. She really didn't want Otonashi Sota to see her family in such a miserable state. At this time, Shoko's awkward self-esteem unconsciously took effect again.

"Don't say buts. You just said you were my best friend and would always be with me. Now it's your turn to be in trouble. Do you think I can just sit back and watch?"

Otonashi Sota said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko could no longer refuse Otonashi Souta's kindness and could only take him to the scene of the incident.

When they arrived at the place, Otonashi Sota saw that under the street light, two men who looked like bad youths were surrounding a middle-aged man who was sitting against the wall.

The middle-aged man sitting on the ground had a calm expression on his face and was even in the mood to continue drinking.

"....Father."

Shoko Toyokawa walked over, looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the ground, and shouted with an ugly expression.

"You came."

Xiangzi's father looked up at her. Although she was his daughter, his face showed no expression. He even urged her.

"Give them the money quickly, I still need to go home."

"Are you the daughter of this stinky old man? Humph, hurry up and pay me back. This brother of mine was hit pretty hard by your father's wine bottle."

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko coming over, one of the men immediately pointed at the other man's head and spoke in a rough voice.

Shoko Toyokawa took a look and immediately frowned.

Because there was no injury on the other person's head at all, not even a sign of redness or swelling.

Look at the wine that the stinky old man drinks. It is simply a bottle of wine packaged in a can. If you hit someone on the head with this kind of can even if you hit it hard, it won't cause any harm, at most it will cause a little pain.

It was obvious that they were being blackmailed.

"...How much do you want?"

Shoko Toyokawa took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"Not too much, just one hundred thousand."

The injured man said directly.

"impossible!"

Toyokawa Shoko retorted without hesitation,

"You're not hurt at all! Even if a bottle like that hits your head, it won't cause any damage! I can apologize to you for my father's disrespect, and I'm willing to pay you compensation if necessary, but a hundred thousand is absolutely out of the question!"

"How come he's not hurt? My brother might have a concussion, you know? Do you believe we should call the police? Little girl, you don't want your father to be arrested by the police, do you?"

"Ouch, my head hurts..."

Perhaps because Shoko Toyokawa was still a student and her father was an unreliable drunk man, the two men even threatened to call the police.

They thought that a young girl like Toyokawa Shoko would be scared into handing over the money as soon as she heard the police were called.

"Sure, then call the police."

Otonashi Souta tilted his head, smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"and who are you?"

"I'm just a mask passing by... ahem, excuse me, I'm her friend."

Otonashi Sota patted Toyokawa Shoko's shoulder to calm her down, then looked at the two men and said slowly,

"You said you got a concussion? Are you a doctor? If you say so, then it's true."

"Since you want to call the police, then go ahead. When the police arrive, we can take you to the hospital for a checkup. If anything is found to be wrong, we will compensate you. No problem.

But if that's okay... you can also be prepared to be prosecuted for extortion."

"What did you say? You still want to sue us? Do you want to get beaten, you bastard?"

The man suddenly clenched his fists in anger.

"By the way, I've been recording this from the beginning. If you want to use violence, I can defend myself, but the consequences are your own fault. How about that?"

(ps: It is known that Yukina Minato won 20 national championships at the age of 21, and Kasumi Toyama won 18 national championships at the age of 20. Moreover, the lead singers of the three major groups are in a class of their own. According to the rules, it can be said that Takamatsu Deng is 12 years younger)


Chapter 91 Xiangzi: This woman is so terrifying, we must not let her stay!

As Otonashi Sota spoke, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and showed the two of them the recording interface.

As we all know, in the "battle of wits" series, recording is often the key to taking the initiative.

Hey, if I take out the recording, won’t you explode?

Of course, in reality, the role of recording is not that great, but it can still be used to scare some hooligans who don’t understand the law.

"You bastard... Humph! Just wait for me!"

Seeing that Yin Wu Zou Tai took out the recording, the two bad guys wanted to snatch it, but seeing Yin Wu Zou Tai's tall stature, they finally backed off. They could only pretend to say a few harsh words and then left in shame.

For people like them, they naturally don't want to make a big deal out of it. Calling the police would only be disadvantageous to them. After all, they really didn't suffer any injuries.

"Huh....Thank you, senior."

Seeing the trouble go away, Toyokawa Shoko immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Otonashi Sota with gratitude.

"It's a small matter. I've seen many people who try to extort money by pretending to be nice. I can only say that they still need to practice."

Otonashi Souta shook his head indifferently.

This wave can only mean that the two people's ranks are not high enough and their courage is not big enough. He has made plans for the next few steps, but the opponent retreated directly in the first step.

It feels worse than....scam.

"Um....Are you okay? I'm going home then."

Seeing that the matter seemed to have been resolved, Xiangzi's father didn't care whether to pay compensation or not, and didn't even ask a question to Otonashi Sota who came with his daughter. He stood up shakily from the ground, then took his wine and walked straight past Toyokawa Xiangzi and left on his own.

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing. She could only stare at her father's back as he left, lost in thought.

After a long while, until her father's figure completely disappeared from her sight, Toyokawa Shoko finally came to her senses and forced a smile towards Asano Muzota.

"Sorry, Senior, Dad was a bit rude, he..."

"It doesn't matter. Every family has its own problems."

Otonashi Sota didn't say anything, but just patted Toyokawa Shoko's shoulder gently.

"Um...."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly. She knew that Otonashi Kanata would not have any bad prejudice against her because of his father's affairs, but it was the first time that a strange boy appeared around her, and her father didn't ask a single question, as if he didn't care about her affairs at all. This still made her a little sad.

Otonashi Sota took her hand and walked to a vending machine on the side of the road, bought two bottles of orange juice, and then sat down on the bench next to it.

Otonashi Sota did not say anything to comfort her. He knew that words of comfort were too pale and powerless for Toyokawa Shoko's current situation. Besides, she did not need comfort because Toyokawa Shoko was a strong girl.

All he could do was stay by her side as a friend, and if she wanted to talk about her troubles, he could be a qualified listener.

There was no way, the person who made Toyokawa Shoko sad was her father.

No matter how decadent and corrupt that man is now, he is still Xiangzi's father, the father for whom she would rather give up her wealthy family than come out to accompany him.

Otonashi Sota could stand on Toyokawa Shoko's side and help scold him, but that would be meaningless and would not make Shoko happy.

Because if Shoko Toyokawa was really disappointed with her father, she would have left long ago.

"Souta, you know what? Dad wasn't like this before."

After an unknown amount of time of silence, Shoko Toyokawa looked up at the stars in the sky and slowly spoke.

Otono Sota didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"When I was little, my father loved me and my mother very much. He was a gentle and positive person. Although he married into the Toyokawa family, he always worked hard to achieve success."

"After my mother passed away, my father told me that he would work hard, shoulder his responsibilities, and give me a better life."

Having said this, Toyokawa Shoko paused and her expression became a little bitter.

"I've always believed in Dad. Even when he was kicked out of the family for causing the company to lose money, I left that house with him because I believed that even if he failed, he would stand up again and keep working hard... But this time, it seems I was wrong."

"No, you're not wrong."

Otonashi Sota shook his head, his tone gentle but powerful.

"It's always right to trust your family. It's just that your father didn't live up to your expectations and trust. That's his problem, not yours."

"Your father...maybe he's just not strong enough."

To be honest, Otonashi Sota really doesn't have a good impression of Toyokawa Shoko's father.

When I heard Xiangzi say that before, I didn’t really feel it, but after seeing his performance today, I feel even more that he is a bad person. Of course, I can’t say that in front of Xiangzi.

From Xiangzi's father's perspective, losing his beloved is certainly an extremely sad thing, and failure in his career is also a major blow.

But these two items are only part of his life and do not occupy the whole, because he also has another identity as Xiangzi's father.

Even for Xiangzi, he must not become like this.

Because the only person in this world who still has expectations of him and worries about him is Xiangzi.

Then who was he showing off to in this decadent and drunken state?

He can only hurt Xiangzi.

So we can only say that Otonashi Sota is not a qualified father.

Even when he saw him leaving just now, Otonashi Sota had a feeling that he was running away from his daughter.

It’s like the harder Xiangzi works and the better he becomes, the more ashamed he feels.

Oh, Xiangzi is great, no need to say more.

Girls, you can go for it this time, this time we are really biological dads.

"Not strong enough... maybe."

Shoko Toyokawa sighed, her gaze fell from the sky and looked at the man next to her, seeing that Otonashi Sota's eyes were full of concern and worry for her.

Suddenly, she didn't feel so sad anymore.

"Souta, can I borrow your shoulder for a moment?"

she asked.

Shoko Toyokawa didn't know why she suddenly said this, as if she suddenly wanted to do this.

Maybe it was because in her memory, when her mother was still alive, she often leaned on her father's shoulder like this.

"Of course, you can always lean on my buddy's shoulder."

It's natural that Yin Wuzoutai wouldn't refuse.

In his previous life, when his good brother was heartbroken due to a breakup, he accompanied his good brother to drink all night long, and even lent him his shoulder to cry on after his good brother got drunk.

Of course Xiangzi can't drink and doesn't know how to drink, so they can skip the previous steps and go directly to the last step.

"Thank you, Sota."

Toyokawa Shoko turned sideways and gently rested her head on Otonashi Sota's shoulder.

It's amazing. It's just a simple action, and the places where the two people touch each other can't be said to be very intimate, but just like this, it brings Shoko Toyokawa a sense of security that is no less than the one when Sota Haruno hugs her.

"Xiangzi, have you ever been rebellious?"

Just as Toyokawa Shoko was enjoying this sense of security, she heard Otonashi Sota suddenly ask.

"Rebellion? What's that?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked curiously.

"It's a stage that every adolescent boy and girl goes through. Didn't I say before that Xiaomu is rebellious? It's because she only listens to her parents, so there's nothing wrong with being rebellious occasionally."

Otonashi Sota said with a smile,

"Now I think you have some flaws and are rebellious. Your father might be afraid to face you because you are too perfect as a daughter, so perfect that he feels ashamed of himself."
