After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 10. The evil woman is already invincible, why should I borrow the bones of a good woman?
An apartment building in Senkawa-cho, Toshima-ku.

Chongzhi Xi did not go to her part-time job during the day today. Instead, she went home to take a shower and made herself clean. Then, she carried her dark blue commuter bag and went up and down the stairs. From time to time, she stuck her head out from the railing in the corridor. If she didn't see anyone, she would go down one floor and slowly come up, preparing to have a chance encounter with Yuanye Si.

As for why they met by chance, it was actually very simple, that was because Chong Zhixi had complicated emotions.

There is guilt and fear.

If she had just happened to curse someone in the face when they first met the day before yesterday, and the other person didn't say anything and even helped her, she wouldn't have missed her part-time job for two days in a row and stayed here in the afternoons to create an encounter.

Instead, she discovered Harano Tsukasa's secret.

After what happened the day before yesterday, out of embarrassment and ashamedness, Chongzhi Xi sneaked out in the middle of the night and saw that the dirty water had been splashed on the door by Yuanye Si and had not been cleaned up, so she decided to help.

The mop that was kicked off was taken away, but the dirty water stains on the apartment door were still there. When Chongzhi Xi found a rag in the middle of the night and wrung out the water to wipe it, she discovered a clue.

Dirty water tastes very strange.

And she was kind of familiar.

He pinched it with his fingers a few times and put it in front of his nose to smell it carefully for a while. After thinking hard for a long time, Chong Zhixi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and his eyes widened.

It smells like charcoal fire.

The reason why we can be sure that it is the smell of charcoal fire is that Shigeeda Shio is a small village under the jurisdiction of the Urakawa Group in Hokkaido. It is very backward. It takes an hour and a half to wait for a bus from the village to the city. There is no heating and power outages are frequent. Since she was a child, her family has relied on burning charcoal or firewood to keep warm during the cold winter.

She couldn't smell it the first two days because she hadn't been back for nearly three or four years since she took her mother to Tokyo to attend university. Also, the days of burning charcoal and chopping wood were so long ago that they had almost become a childhood memory.

After repeatedly confirming that this was the smell of charcoal fire, Shigeeda Shio's mind popped up the most common methods of suicide in Tokyo: lying on the railway tracks, jumping into the sea, and burning charcoal.

She couldn't help but think about it.

After all, it is the rainy season now, and strictly speaking it is already summer, and the weather is hot and humid.

In this kind of weather, how could anyone choose to burn charcoal for heating? In addition, Shigee Xi recalled that the mop cloth that was kicked off by Yuanye Si was covered with a mixture of black and gray water and dust, which made her even more certain.

Even if she really made a mistake, she still had to worry about maintaining good relations with her neighbors.

She originally moved from Adachi to Toshima because of poor relations with the neighbors. If she moved away now, the penalty alone would be enough to make her feel painful.

If Shigeji Shide's guess was correct, then Harano Tsukasa was undoubtedly an emotionally unstable guy who wanted to commit suicide at any time, and he could not be offended. If her guess was wrong, after all, judging from her attitude and behavior last time, she was a bit too much. In order to avoid extreme situations, it would not be excessive to make a tentative contact with him.

Otherwise, being always worried is not a solution, and that guy might be a good person, but he just encountered some difficulties like myself in the past and couldn't get over it for a while.

In short, meet him by chance first, then try to talk to him as much as possible. If he has to go to work, maybe you can get up early and take the tram together, so that you will have more topics to talk about on the way.

Anyway, he didn't look like someone who was difficult to communicate with. Chong Zhixi estimated that with her extremely smart brain, she would be able to find out the answer in three to five days. If nothing happened, everyone would be happy. If something happened, she would just say a few words of comfort and buy him some candy. This way, even if he wanted to take revenge on society, he would not be embarrassed to hurt her.

Perfect, well planned, worthy of myself!
Chongzhi Xi was thinking while walking up and down the stairs. She was sweating profusely after walking for half a day. Then, when she was wondering whether Yuanye Si would not come home until late at night like yesterday, she suddenly saw a familiar figure downstairs from the corner of her eye. It was Yuanye Si who was walking slowly towards her with a convenience store bag in his hand.

She quickly straightened her clothes, walked downstairs with her short legs, and saw Yuanye Si coming in on the second floor. She walked upstairs slowly until she reached the corner of the third floor. She happened to see Yuanye Si walking up to the second floor and said in surprise, "Good afternoon, Mr. Yuanye."

Harano Tsukasa looked up when he heard the voice and found that it was the new neighbor who moved in. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence? Miss Shigeeda."

"Yes, I just got back from work, just one step earlier than you. Did Mr. Yuanye just get off work?"

"It's the weekend today, so I don't have to go to work."

"Oh oh, I almost forgot."

"Is Miss Shigeeda still in school?"

"Yes, we're about to graduate, so you don't have to call me Miss. Just call me Chongzhi or Chongzhi classmate."

"Ok."

Both of them lived on the third floor. Shigeshita deliberately waited for him for a few steps. After the meeting, they walked side by side, maintaining a normal social distance, towards the depths of the corridor and chatted casually for a few words. Yuanye Si did not take it seriously. He took out the key and was about to open the door, but when he just inserted it into the keyhole, he saw from the corner of his eye that the innocent-looking girl next to him did not seem to have any intention of opening the door.

Instead, he stood there hesitating, not even taking out his keys, his eyes constantly on himself.

Harano Tsukasa released the key from the brass keyhole, turned around, and asked with a gentle smile, "Shigeeda-san, is there anything I can help you with? If so, just tell me."

"Ah? Things? Nothing... nothing..."

"Then you are..."

"Uh... Speaking of which, I was a little rude when I just moved in the day before yesterday. I was so excited at the time that I didn't think too much about it. I'm really sorry..." When it came to the real battlefield, her mind was confused. Shigeshige completely forgot the words she had prepared. When she looked at Yuanye Si, she subconsciously lowered her head like an ostrich.

Yuanye Si seemed to be thinking about something, and was a little confused to see her so nervous, but on second thought, he felt it was normal.

After all, it seems that the other person lives alone.

Neighborhood relationships are very important in Japan. Neighbors may never interact with each other, or they may keep in close contact with each other and give each other's children New Year jades during the Chinese New Year. It can be said that the relationship is close.

Although neighborhood relations in Tokyo, especially among office workers, are very weak, it is normal for Shigeeda Shio, as a girl, to want to establish a good relationship with a single man who happens to be a normal neighbor, either for her own personal safety or so that she can help out when something happens.

"It's okay. It's my own fault that I didn't clean my things properly. It's my responsibility. If anyone should apologize, it should be me. Don't take it to heart, Shigeeda." Harano Tsukasa currently feels that this girl is relatively easy to get along with, and her previous wish was very mild.

"You're too kind."

Chongzhixi quickly waved her hands when she heard him say that.

During the conversation, Harano Tsukasa called out the wish list and checked the girl's wish. [Wish target: Shigee Shio]

[The wish list is as follows]

[1. May Amaterasu, God, and Buddha bless me. It would be best if my neighbor is a positive, sunny, and cheerful guy. I hope he doesn't really want to commit suicide (white)]

[2. I hope my neighbor can personally promise not to hurt me. I’m so afraid that he will suddenly take revenge on society (white)]

[3. I really want to eat eel rice and beef rice, but today's expenses have been seriously overspent. Damn, my mouth is really disappointing (white)]

Yuanye Si was stunned for a moment.

How did this kid know that I had attempted suicide before, and he seemed very confident.

Besides.

These three wishes are too abnormal.

This is abnormal, not because Chongzhixi's wish is excessive, after all, the wish list has been marked with white, but because this wish is too trivial.

How naive this kid must be to be able to put something on his wish list just by wanting to eat eel rice.

As for the first two wishes, one was to hope that he did not really want to commit suicide, and the other was to ensure her own personal safety. This could also be considered a wish, but to be honest, it was completely beyond Harano Tsukasa's expectations.

Even if from an objective point of view the original body did want to commit suicide, this also further proves that the child in front of him has a good character.

All three wishes were easily fulfilled.

It’s even extraordinarily easy.

Compared with the fierce fight with that icy female boss in the office yesterday, although the benefits are greater and there are additional benefits from slacking off, the risks are doubled and it is completely incomparable to this child.

He hasn't contacted Suzumiya Saka yet.

Also waiting for a result.

After all, what happened yesterday would be unacceptable to a woman with normal values.

Even with the spying of the wish list, Harano Tsukasa could not guarantee that Suzumiya Saka would change her mind and find it completely unacceptable, and then actually call the police, or plant the seeds of hatred and take other revenge on him.

The human heart is the most unpredictable.

What's more, it is extremely fickle.

Looking at the cute girl in front of him, Yuanye Si had a bad idea for the first time. He even wanted to tie her up and squeeze out the surplus value to exploit this treasure mountain.

But he dismissed the idea in his heart.

The villain is invincible!
Why do we need to borrow the bones of a good woman?

The purpose of formulating the Gold Diggin' Miss Plan is to avoid corrupting one's own mind and soul and to avoid bearing psychological burden. If one tortures the child in front of her through coercion, inducement or other means to fleece the child, then she will become a tool of desire.

"Mr. Yuanye...?"

Shigeshige saw that Yuanye Si was staring at her in a daze for a long time, and felt a little uneasy, so she reminded him in a low voice.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Yuanye Si came back to his senses after hearing the voice.

Looking at the wishes on the light blue screen, he pondered for a moment and felt that there was no need to force himself to complete the first and third wishes. The former and the latter were too deliberate. After all, it would be too abrupt to directly tell others that he would not commit suicide, and treating them to a meal would also seem inappropriate.

Don’t be a slave to your wish list.

Do what you can according to the specific situation.

Harano Tsukasa thought to himself, and after organizing his words, he slowly said, "I have lived here for nearly two years. If Shigeeda encounters any trouble, you can come to me. Although this may sound a bit like a fraud, I work at the district office, and the apartment manager Takagi-san knows me well. I should be trustworthy. Please don't hesitate to ask for help when you need me."

"So you are a civil servant..." After hearing this, Chongzhixi's doubts were indeed dispelled, and the sense of crisis of being stared at just now almost disappeared.

The identity of a civil servant is still useful.

After all, he is a government employee.

At the very least, the level of compliance with laws and regulations will be very high.

Yuan Ye Si smiled and teased the girl in front of him, "We are just working part-time employees."

Then he said:
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

A smile appeared on Shigeshi's fair face, and she almost felt that her original guess was wrong. She was in a good mood immediately. She placed her slender hands on the edge of her dark green pleated skirt, nodded obediently and said with a smile: "Yeah, bye."

It seems that Mr. Yuanye is a good person.

And I didn't want to commit suicide.

This was very good news for her. At least she didn't have to worry about moving again.
