Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

No way. Haruno had just done that with Suguha, but even if Haruno wanted to do that to me, I wouldn't be able to resist, right?

No. It should be said that my heart is expecting something like this to happen.

Obviously, Suguha had to use dishonorable means to be with Haruno first. If that's the case, then it doesn't matter if something happens between me and Haruno here, right?

Rather, there must be a legitimate reason?

Just think of it as a celebration of winning the championship or something, although using this kind of thing to celebrate would make me look like a very slutty girl

It's okay once in a while.

Thinking of this, Mine Shiori held her breath and closed her eyes carefully.

Her subconscious action made Sawayama Haruno, who was closing the distance, stunned.

"Shiori, are you feeling unwell?"

"Eh?"

Mine Shiori opened her eyes and looked at Sawayama Haruno in front of her with some surprise.

The other person was looking at him with a confused expression, as if suddenly closing his eyes was a very strange action.

"no no"

Realizing that she had misunderstood, Mine Shiori suddenly became nervous.

She stammered and explained, "My eyes are just a little sore."

"Really?" Sawayama Haruno stroked his chin and said casually, "Then I'll have someone buy you some eye drops later."

"Um"

"lets change a topic."

Sawayama Haruno took the initiative to change the subject, looked at Mine Shiori and said seriously: "I really thank you."

"If you hadn't checked it carefully for me, I wouldn't have had enough confidence to get the first place this time."

He said it sincerely, and of course, it was true.

For most readers, they pay attention to reading through and quickly when reading a book - that is, they will not pay attention to wrong words or problems with sentence order word by word.

However, when put in front of professional judges and editors, these small issues become very serious.

Especially for someone like Sawayama Haruno who carries around classic masterpieces, these problems will be magnified countless times after the work becomes popular, and can easily be used by others to criticize his weak basic skills.

Although his level has improved a lot with the help of the system, Sawayama Haruno focuses on efficiency when typing, so mistakes are inevitable.

Even the most sophisticated instruments can make mistakes, let alone humans.

In addition, when Sawayama Haruno read the book "Norwegian Wood" in his previous life, he read the Japanese translated version. If he wanted to translate it back again, he would inevitably encounter many problems in the context.

Mine Shiori's responsibility is to point out all these problems and help him correct them one by one.

In a sense, without Shiori Mine, it would have been difficult for this book to achieve its current top result.

"Say this suddenly"

Mine Shiori's face turned red and she looked at Sawayama Haruno embarrassedly.

Even though that happened just yesterday, the other party still wants to thank me today.

"I just helped a little." Mine Shiori lowered her head and whispered, "Even without me, Haruno can do it on his own, right?"

"It's just too much trouble for me to check the finishing."

Sawayama Haruno smiled gently at her.

"Besides, it's hard for me to have so much time to deal with this kind of work, so."

"If possible, can Shiori continue to help me check next time?"

After saying that, Sawayama Haruno, as if afraid of causing misunderstanding, quickly explained: "Of course, it's not like you're working for nothing. I asked Ms. Morikawa before, and even in this industry, there are assistants to help with the publishing and revision of books."

His meaning was actually very clear. He hoped that Mine Shiori would be associated with the pen name "Kirishama Fuyumi" in the future. This would help her get better resources for development within the Otowa Group.

In addition, Morikawa Riho may not always be his editor. She might be promoted in the future, after which Mine Shiori can take over the position. This was also one of the topics they talked about at the dinner yesterday.

Morikawa Riho said that she would try to train Mine Shiori to become a professional editor so that she could better assist Sawayama Haruno.

I don't know if she had such an idea because of the close relationship between Mine Shiori and Sawayama Haruno.

But no matter from which perspective, this will be of great benefit to Shiori Mine.

This was the conclusion that Sawayama Haruno came to after deep thought. After all, the two of them had already had a pleasant collaboration in public; and in private, the relationship between them was not just that of classmates or friends.

Apart from these reasons, Sawayama Haruno also considered the existence of the system task and the desire to turn Mine Shiori back into a normal girl.

That is why this suggestion is made here.

It was obvious that the other party was somewhat tempted, but was still a little embarrassed to agree immediately.

Feeling Sawayama Haruno's sincere gaze, Mine Shiori hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "But."

"Is this really okay?"

Her eyes kept dodging and her tone gradually became hesitant.

Sawayama Haruno originally thought that she was still struggling with whether she could help him, but Mine Shiori's next words made him stunned.

"yesterday."

"I did that yesterday at noon, right?"

"Is it really okay for you to tell me this now?" Mine Shiori said hesitantly.

Chapter 201 Shiori's Little Wish

Is it really possible?

Mine Shiori became a little confused.

After doing something like that, it was already a luxury for me to maintain my friendship with Sawayama Haruno.

Now there is still a possibility of being able to take the next step with the other party.

Is this really okay?

What would Ezaki Suguha think after she found out? Even if he ignored Suguha, could he really continue like this in the future?

"I"

"I'm worried that it will cause trouble to Haruno, and besides that," she said with a trembling voice.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sawayama Haruno.

"Will not."

Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly.

"Shiori, you won't do something like that again, right?"

Now that it has been exposed, it is unlikely that something like this will happen again.

Although Mine Shiori still has trouble with her feelings, perhaps things will get better after she talks it out.

Besides, Mine Shiori had no idea that she was dating someone before. She was so shocked that she did such a thing in a moment of confusion.

Now that she knew about her relationship with Suguha, perhaps she would be able to be more rational and face reality.

It was just like when she found out about me and Mana during the Golden Week.

The only difference was that this time she did respond, and there was no tragedy like her mother's death.

After that, I can find a way to get Ezaki Suguha to help persuade him, and I should be able to let go of this relationship.

Even if he can't let it go for the time being, the other party shouldn't do such irrational things again.

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Shiori."

"Please, be my assistant."

His eyes were sincere, and contained something that Mine Shiori had never seen before.

The petite girl just looked at each other and couldn't control herself and began to tremble all over.

Strong emotions surged in her body, and she subconsciously opened her mouth.

"I I know."

The moment she blurted it out, she seemed to be relieved.

Sawayama Haruno also smiled.

"That's good. I'll tell Ms. Morikawa about this later. She should pay more attention to your internship."

"But the downside is that things might get very busy when I return to Tokyo."

"It shouldn't matter." Mine Shiori pursed her lips and whispered, "After returning to Tokyo, I will most likely no longer be able to be Suguha's tutor, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little busy."

"That's right."

Listening to what the other party said, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that Suguha Esaki also confessed her family's arrangements to Shiori Mine.

This made him a little confused about what to say.

After all, excluding her own reasons, Mine Shiori and Esaki Suguha still have a very good relationship. Seeing that the other is about to embark on such a completely different life path, she must feel very uncomfortable inside.

"I'll find a way to help with Suguha's matter later."

After thinking it over, Sawayama Haruno advised Mine Shiori, "So you don't need to worry too much."

"In fact, I met her brother when I attended the dinner yesterday. He was the one who invited us to dinner at the Budokan last time."

"Eh" Mine Shiori looked up in surprise, "Ezaki-senpai. No, Ezaki Naoto?"

"Well, he promised me that he would help me deal with Suguha's matter."

Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly.

"Also, after returning to Tokyo, I will accompany him to visit the grandfather of the Ezaki family."

"That's it"

Mine Shiori smiled tiredly and said, "That's good. It can solve Suguha's problem."

Although I feel a little powerless, I should still be happy inside.

After all, what happened can no longer be changed, and it is almost time for her to face reality.

To her, Ezaki Suguha is also a very important disciple and friend, otherwise she wouldn't have acted so distracted after hearing what he said yesterday.

"By the way, has Shiori ever met Suguha's grandfather?"

"No."

Mine Shiori shook her head slightly.

"When I was hired as a tutor, I was received by their housekeeper. After that, I met Naoto Ezaki."

"Well, Suguha's mother has also met him once."

"Really?" Sawayama Haruno suddenly became curious and couldn't help asking, "What kind of person is Suguha's mother?"

"Uh"

Mine Shiori suddenly hesitated.

After glancing at Zeshan Haruno with a slightly uneasy look, she said with some difficulty: "It's just... a woman who is not in good condition. She is very thin and looks like she is seriously ill."

"That's it"

Sawayama Haruno didn't continue to worry about it.

After all, he already knew that Suguha's mother suffered from some mental illness, so it was understandable that she was in a bad state.

Ding--

Just then, the phone suddenly lit up.

After attracting attention, Sawayama Haruno subconsciously unlocked it and checked the new information.
