A savior? You must be kidding me!

How could such a thing exist!

To be honest, everyone around her thought she should be living a very happy life.

Although her biological father passed away when she was a freshman in high school, her stepfather, whom her mother brought with her after her remarriage, cared for her a lot.

The mother did not speak ill of her as a burden, and remained as always.

However...

Only she knew that it was all a suffocating illusion.

Her stepfather was an alcoholic and a gambler. He cared about her because he wanted her to go out and earn money so he could "lend" her money to go out and have fun.

As always, her mother was only thinking about maintaining their current life and didn't want to hear her express her inner confusion and sadness, so she chose to ignore everything.

During high school, I made up my mind to work hard so that I could move out of my family home after graduation.

After finally managing to secretly save up a million, he returned home only to find that his stepfather had gambled away most of it...

Unable to bear the despair, she confronted him in anguish, only to be casually brushed off and then excitedly offered to introduce her to a more lucrative job.

When I spoke with my mother in private, that respected lady would only ever say, "Stop talking."

I was very happy when I found out that my parents got married because I was pregnant.

She naively thought that the fact that they got married because of her meant that her parents loved her very much.

As it turns out... nobody in this world loves me!

She ran all the way to an empty park, where she squatted down and burst into loud sobs.

After a long while, she stood up expressionlessly, chuckled, wiped away her tears, and numbly dragged herself back to her residence.

When I opened the door with the key, I heard men talking inside.

Tanakai Yoko frowned in disgust.

Is it another one of my stepfather's alcoholic friends...?

However, when she opened the door, she saw a sunny and handsome boy waving and smiling at her.

Welcome back.

Tanaka Yoko's heart skipped a beat, and she almost burst into tears.

It's been so long since I've heard those four words...

She stole a glance at the pretty older woman standing behind the boy; the woman seemed to be scrutinizing her as well.

Tanaka Yoko felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of loss, and, feeling ashamed of herself, lowered her head and walked towards her room.

"I...I'm going back to my room to do my homework."

The stepfather's gruff voice rang out loudly.

"Hey, hey, hey, can't you see there are guests? Who raised you to be so rude!"

After saying that, the stepfather fawned over the handsome boy, rubbing his hands together and smiling.

"This is what a wild girl without a father's guidance is like, haha. Don't worry, sir, but once you buy her, you can discipline her as you please!"

"Don't let her thin appearance fool you, she's actually quite capable. Of course, if you're thinking about 'that,' you're at the age where you can do it..."

Tanaka Yoko dropped her bag to the floor and stood there stunned.

She was used to the humiliation before, but the last sentence made it impossible for her to pretend she didn't hear it anymore!

They want to...sell me?!

I've already been so tolerant, and you've still gone this far? Charge!

She gritted her teeth, angrily turned to look at her mother on the sofa, expecting her to loudly refute this absurd joke.

The woman simply lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, seemingly acquiescing to everything.

“…”

The last glimmer of light in Tanakai Yoko's eyes also vanished.

hehe....

Was I still abandoned?

Chapter 64: Bestowing Favors upon Shimomura Izumi, Tolling the Final Bell (Please Subscribe, Please Vote)

A dark rage burned within Shimomura Izumi's heart.

Since that's the case, let's just go to hell together!

A black ghost silently appeared behind her; it was a companion who had been by her side since childhood for some unknown reason.

She was also her only best friend and her only friend!

"kill...."

Just as she was about to speak, Tanaka Yoko glanced at the handsome man's back and suddenly froze.

So she remained silent, seemingly accepting the outcome of being sold.

The stepfather, reeking of alcohol, realized that his useless stepdaughter was trying to resist. He was about to shout curses at her, his face flushed, when he saw that she suddenly stopped responding. A feeling of anger got stuck in his chest, making him very unhappy.

But thinking of the money promised by the rich guy next to him, he forced a smile that looked awkward.

"You see, she agreed, so this money..."

Rod raised his right hand slightly, and Jun Suzuki placed a box of money on the table and opened it.

The man's eyes lit up, and he was about to pounce when Rod grabbed the box and pressed it down.

"Here's the money. I'm taking her away tonight."

The man hesitated for a moment. He wanted to remind his stepdaughter to find out the man's identity and see if she could extort more money from him.

Rhodes stared at him silently with his cold eyes. The man shuddered as if a sharp knife were pointed at his neck and nodded hastily.

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say!"

The mother hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, but under the man's threatening gaze, she finally closed her eyes in anguish.

Rod got up with satisfaction and walked to Tanaka Yoko, smiling gently.

"If there's anything you need to take, let Xiaochun help you pack. After all, you're not coming back."

Jun Suzuki hesitated for a moment when she heard the name "Jun-chan," but eventually walked over reluctantly.

Damn master, I'm the older one! I'll make you admit defeat once we're in bed!

Tainaka Yoko subconsciously glanced at Suzuki Jun's side, her pupils contracted slightly, and then she lowered her head and whispered.

"I see."

After learning about her future partner's complicated family background, Jun Suzuki no longer felt hostility towards her, but only pity and tenderness. So he took her hand and gently comforted her as they walked towards her room.

Tanaka Yoko felt the kindness coming from her palm, and her anxiety eased slightly.

She couldn't help but glance back at Rhodes' side, and after confirming once again that the black phantom was not an illusion, a small spark of hope ignited in her heart.

Unlike Jun Suzuki, Yoko Tanaka has very few personal belongings, which can all be contained in a single backpack.

As they were leaving, the stepfather was laughing and counting money in the living room, while only the mother came out to see them off.

She lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry, it's because Mom is incompetent."

“I just felt that rather than being buried with them in this hopeless home where there was no future, I would rather go with them.”

"You are still young and have a long life ahead of you. Don't follow in your mother's footsteps... and don't come back."

Tanaka Yoko hugged her backpack without turning around, but large tears fell from her eyes.

[Level A wish completed.]

[Task completion rate is normal, and the satisfaction level of those making wishes is... Ultimate.]

Congratulations on receiving a Grade A reward.

[Congratulations on acquiring Yoko Tanakai's ability: Demi-human.]

Congratulations! You have received 1800 Wishing Points. Your current balance is 47700 points.

The group returned to their temporary residence.

Jun Suzuki quietly closed the guest room door, returned to the master bedroom, climbed onto the bed, and started to act coquettishly, clinging to Rod's arm.

Rod was browsing the Japanese government's reaction to the Ajin Gathering Day on his phone.

"Is she asleep?"

"Hmm...you mean, were her mother's last words sincere?"

Is it even meaningful to ask this now?

"....Too."

Tanaka Yoko, no, she has now changed her name to Shimoe Izumi.

Xiajiang is the father's surname, and Quan is the mother's original surname.

After returning with them and hearing Jun Suzuki's explanation, Shimoe Izumi unexpectedly accepted reality very quickly.

Jun Suzuki was originally eager to show off his skills and demonstrate his improved verbal prowess in front of Rod.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jiangquan agreed to the slave contract without hesitation and became Rhodes' second servant.

She's accepting things even faster than she did back then!

This left Jun Suzuki somewhat frustrated.

Shimoe Izumi was more interested in the black phantom behind the two of them. It was only after Suzuki Jun's explanation that she realized her own demi-human identity.

Facing Rhodes, who rescued her from that family and protected her demi-human identity, Shimo Jiangquan easily created an A-rank wish, which was completed in an instant.

After that, she sat on the sofa without saying a word, only occasionally glancing at Rod with her eyes.

Jun Suzuki couldn't hold back any longer and had to tell him about how she dealt with her family of origin.

Rod was naturally not going to be so kind as to let that drunkard get a large sum of money for nothing.

Tomorrow during the day, that guy will go out and accidentally fall to his death.

Xia Jiangquan's mother will inherit that money and receive insurance compensation, enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

After hearing the follow-up arrangements, Xia Jiangquan simply got up silently and began to take off his clothes.

When Suzuki Jun tried to stop her in astonishment, Shimoe Izumi simply said matter-of-factly, "Now that I am my master's slave, isn't it only right that I offer my body?" Suzuki Jun was immediately rendered speechless.

It was only then that she realized this seemingly gentle and weak girl might actually be a formidable rival!

Thinking about these things, Jun Suzuki felt a sudden sense of urgency. She rolled over and pinned Rod down, speaking with great force.

"At least, until today, you are still mine alone!"

In the next room, Xia Jiangquan stared silently at the ceiling, his ears filled with suggestive and sensual sounds.

“…”

next morning.

Jun Suzuki rubbed his dark circles, his legs trembling as he leaned against the wall to stand up.

"I overslept, I need to buy breakfast for my owner."

Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, I heard clanging and banging sounds coming from the kitchen.

"Hmm, no way...."

Jun Suzuki picked up his coat from the sofa and draped it over his smooth shoulders. When he walked into the kitchen, he saw an adorable high school girl cooking.

Slender limbs and skillful movements.
