Tokyo Soft Rice King

In her opinion, being able to make Hei Yuming owe her a favor was already a win, but she knew that Hei Yuming, who cared about money the most, would definitely think it was unreasonable.

He must be given a clear answer, something he wants other than money.

With her hands behind her back, Asato Hitomi gave Kuroba Akira the most appropriate answer she could think of.

"Mingjun, what I want has never changed. That is friends, true friends who are completely devoted to each other."

Or maybe it’s some other relationship…it doesn’t matter.

Friend is just a nickname.

What Anri Hitomi pursues is the "pure emotion" that she asked her mother for advice.

"Captain, we are already friends, right?"

"Yes, but that's not enough. I still don't know your true side, Mingjun."

"My...truest side?"

"Well, we are obviously friends, but you have never shown your true feelings to me. I have always been upset about this."

Hei Yuming was stunned for a moment and thought, could it be that the squad leader discovered that I was a time traveler?

Is she doubting my identity?

So, should I tell her?

However, before Kuroba Akira's complicated thoughts could come up with a suitable answer, Asato Hitomi continued speaking.

"Perhaps, even you, Mingjun, don't know what your true heart is."

"what?"

Now Hei Yuming's brain completely crashed.

"Squad leader, how did you become a riddle man? I don't even know my true feelings. What are you talking about?"

Let's speak Japanese?

Anri Hitomi gave a faint smile that looked like a wry smile.

Then, just as Kuroba Akira asked Nishimura Ryuya, "What is your real purpose?", Asato Hitomi also asked Kuroba Akira this question.

"I want to know, is this what you really want to do, Mingjun?"

The squad leader was probably referring to the creation of a video website, and Hei Yuming understood this.

All I can say is that this is indeed something that can make you 'make a lot of money'.

As for whether this is what I really want to do...what I really want is to live off my wife and have a good time!

Since traveling through time, most of what Hei Yuming has done is to make money, and making money is for the purpose of being bad, so setting up a barrage video website is also just a process leading to being bad.

What I really want to do... definitely not making money.

Asahito Asato spoke as if she could see through Kuroba Akira's thoughts.

"Or is this just a basic guarantee for you, my lord, to do what you truly want to do?"

"Uh……"

"Ming Jun, I know that many people in this world are forced to give up what they want to do and become a small cog in society, doing things they don't particularly enjoy... Because life consumes resources, and under the rules established by humans, resources can only be obtained through money."

Just as my mother said, money can buy most things in this world, including people.

Therefore, Anri Hitomi does not dislike Kuroba Akira's pursuit of money.

Because she knows that although she is not trapped by life, the vast majority of people in this world are still struggling in the quagmire.

This is the case with Hei Yuming.

So she wanted to know, after "achieving his goal", what kind of person would Hei Yuming become.

When Hei Yuming no longer focuses on money, and his eyes that can only see the value of talent begin to pay attention to things beyond talent, what kind of changes will happen to him?

And will the talents that were originally admired for the sake of money become worthless?

For example, Murasakimiya Shion, when you have accumulated so much money that you no longer need to rely on her talents and beauty...how will you treat her?

Abandon her? Or treat her as a plaything? Or perhaps a large action figure for your collection?

To you, what value do people without talent have? Is their mere physical usefulness the only thing left?

So to find the answer to this question, I will help you.

Help you achieve your goal of accumulating wealth ahead of time.

Then, you will have to reveal your true feelings.

As long as you stay by his side and help him accumulate wealth, you will sooner or later be able to see Hei Yuming's 'essence'.

I'm afraid only then... can you and I become 'close friends', wise lord.

I'm really looking forward to...that day.

Let me get to know the real you more deeply.

Chapter 228: Once the Shura Field Begins, It Won’t Stop

In front of the familiar vending machine, Hitomi Asato once again bought the same milk drink, but this time she opened the bottle for herself, which had the same meaning as opening champagne to celebrate.

Because she knew that Hei Yuming could not refuse her investment.

The reasons I gave had completely shocked him, and the most worrying stage of suspicion had been passed. The next step was to dispel his remaining vigilance.

Anri Hitomi drank half the bottle of milk in one breath, licked her upper lip with her tongue, and said with a more relaxed smile.

"Mingjun, I've actually started taking extra classes..."

This sudden topic brought Hei Yuming back to his senses, but after his brain understood the meaning of these words, he felt even more confused.

"Make up lessons? Class monitor, do you still need make up lessons?"

The class monitor's talent is an A in academic ability, and she has never slacked off in her studies. Her grades have always been ranked first. Does she still need extra classes?

Anri Hitomi also noticed Kuroba Akira's confusion and explained further.

"I'm not lying to you. I'm really taking extra classes, right? It's just that I'm not making up for school knowledge, I'm making up for economics-related knowledge."

"Economics...Private lessons?"

Maybe it's an elite education course unique to large families, so it's not surprising that she learns economic knowledge in advance, because if the class monitor has no older brothers or sisters, she will be the first heir in the future and will definitely take over the family business in the future.

Anri Hitomi nodded and said.

"Yes, my mother taught me personally."

This made Hei Yuming stunned again, because he knew that the class monitor had a very bad relationship with his mother and they were still in a cold war.

But now it seems that the relationship between the mother and daughter of the Anri family seems to have eased... Is it what happened last week?

The squad leader suddenly said that something happened at home, but actually she was going home to have a peace negotiation with her mother?

Since her mother is willing to teach her again, it means that the progress is very smooth.

You’re really amazing, squad leader… you actually solved your emotional knot on your own.

Because he is a person who has experienced it, Hei Yuming knows that childhood trauma requires a lifetime to heal, and the rebellious thoughts of adolescence will also make boys and girls rebel against their parents who intend to control them.

The situation between the mother and daughter became so strained because the monitor didn't want to be controlled by her family and her mother, but now, the monitor may have changed her mind.

Very few people can figure things out at this age, which also means that they have become more mature mentally and can let go of everything.

Although Hei Yuming could joke with the class monitor before, he still treated her as a child in his heart, similar to his niece or a relative's child, and always had the feeling of taking care of a junior.

But when I think about it, it seems like I've always been the one being taken care of by the squad leader... whether it's feeding or using him as a lap pillow... uh, cough! That's not important!

In short, Hei Yuming had always treated the class monitor as a junior in his mind, but now he realized that the class monitor's mind seemed to have grown to the same level as his own.

Her thinking was no longer limited to the identities of "student" and "daughter", and her vision became broader.

"And this money is the fund sponsored by my mother."

Of course, Anri Hitomi would not tell Hei Yuming that the money was her dowry. If she said it, it would definitely scare him, and it would feel like she was forcing him to marry into her family.

A wise ruler would definitely not accept such 'dangerous' funds. He would refuse, or even run away...

But I won't give you a chance to escape.

Be sure to inject this money into your karma!

"But Mingjun, you should know me well. I really hate my family's help."

Hei Yuming crossed his arms and nodded to show that he understood.

Although from his perspective, he might feel that "the eldest daughter of a wealthy family is just pretentious", for Asato Hitomi, who was born in a wealthy family, she has always had troubles that ordinary people cannot understand.

This is what we call the disparity of the world.

"But now I think I was being too hypocritical. Even if it was pocket money that my father secretly gave me, it was still Anri's money in the end. It wasn't money I earned through my own labor."

"Every aspect of my life, the clothes I wear, the food I eat, even the car I take to go to school, are all provided by my family. And yet you still say you don't want help from your family... isn't that ridiculous?"

"It's like eating meat and claiming to be a vegetarian. It's completely childish and doesn't acknowledge your own behavior."

Asato Hitomi's overly sober self-reflection made Kuroba Ming admire her very much.

"Wow……"

He didn't know how to respond and could only express his admiration.

The class monitor actually started criticizing her past self. This is proof that she has seen through herself.

Last weekend, when I was having fun at Kotori's house, what on earth happened to the class monitor?

The monitor suddenly had an epiphany and became more and more majestic!

How can you embarrass me, a real adult, by doing this?

In short, it is remarkable that the squad leader can understand this truth, Hei Yuming comforted him in a kind voice.

"Well...after all, you're still a student, class monitor. If you haven't reached the stage of independence in society yet, you'll definitely still have to accept financial support from your family."

"But Mingjun, you are already planning for your future, right? And you don't rely on anyone, you don't even live at home."

"Uh... My situation is quite special, it's an exception..."

Hei Yuming cannot rely on his family because he still cannot contact his family in this world.

In fact, he did want to rely on her...but he still didn't know the password of his bank card or how much money was in it.

However, he had not seriously investigated it and just regarded the bank card as a 'safety net'.

Kuroha Akira has already asked Mr. Kobayakawa about the tuition fees, and he paid them all at once. So he doesn't know when his parents back home will remember that they have a son studying in Tokyo...

Maybe there will be news during the Chinese New Year?

If there was no news even during the Chinese New Year, Hei Yuming would suspect that this body of his had probably severed ties with his parents.

"I think such a wise ruler is amazing, so I also want to emulate you and become independent as soon as possible."

"Is that why you decided to invest in me, squad leader?"

"That's right, I've decided to take a gamble on you, Mingjun. This isn't just for you, it's for myself as well. When I make enough money, I'll return the money I got from my mother with interest, and I'll also pay back all the expenses that went into raising me. Only then will I be even with the Anri family."

This is amazing!

It seems that the class monitor's personality has not changed. She is still the class monitor who appears gentle on the surface but is actually unique and independent. It's just that her vision has become more ambitious. She wants to eliminate the Anri family from the life level.

If you fail, you have to accept your fate and come back to inherit the family business... This is probably the feeling of a "mother-daughter bet agreement."

This reminded Kuroba Akira of another woman who did something equally "extreme", that was Takanashi Akiko.

In order to become the voice actor he admired, he left home and went to Tokyo, gambling his life and even sacrificing his proper marriage.

The same goes for Anri Hitomi, but the difference is that she is not betting on her own career, but on Kuroba Akira's career.

Of course, what followed was a joint venture between the two.

One glory and one glory.

If the business fails, I will fall into the same abyss as Uncle Yong now, and the squad leader will have to bow his head and beg his family to help him clean up his mess, and face the tragic ending of being bound for a lifetime.

If Murasakimiya Shion left her family and earned money for her own happiness, then Anri Hitomi took a completely opposite path, but ended up in the same destination.

That is, exchange financial freedom for personal freedom!
