Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

Chapter 67 His Helplessness

I scooped up some water and washed my face.

After drying his face with a disposable towel, Hoshino Jun asked the question he had wanted to ask the most so far.

"System, why are debt collection tasks being transferred to other people instead of directly collecting debts from the parties involved?"

This problem has been troubling Hoshino Jun for a long time. If it's because Takayanagi Shiro and Takasaki Yusuke can't afford to pay the compensation, then so be it.

But how could Yamada Tsukasa not be able to afford to pay the compensation?

Given the Yamada family's wealth and his status as a chaebol heir, Yamada Tsukasa should have no reason not to be unable to repay his debts.

[Ding!]

[System prompt: When assessing debt collection criteria, goodwill is the primary consideration. Only if the debtor and their family and friends cannot meet the goodwill criteria will asset assessment be used to determine the debtor.]

Hoshino Jun recalled all the missions he had done recently and suddenly shuddered.

"Here."

"If I were to meet a man who has no friends, no family, no property, and nothing at all, wouldn't that be like meeting my nemesis?"

Hoshino Jun gasped, patted her face, and walked out of the bathroom, her gaze falling on the cute girl who had changed into a bathrobe.

Kato Nana seemed to be doing it on purpose, leaving her bathrobe open with a deep V-neck, exposing one of her fair shoulders and delicate collarbones.

The plump, round, white glutinous rice balls reflected the sunlight streaming into the room, making them particularly dazzling.

"Hoshino-san, this yukata seems a bit too big."

Upon seeing Hoshino Jun emerge, Kato Nana shyly twirled around, her skirt billowing in the air.

The holy light almost blinded Hoshino Jun.

You should know that Kato Nana's clothes were completely soaked. At this moment, her wet sailor uniform and white pleated skirt were being dried, as were her white stockings, panties, and underwear.

In other words, at this moment, she was only wearing a bathrobe.

Without realizing it, the room felt even hotter.

Seeing that Hoshino Jun hadn't become happy, but instead had frowned, Kato Nana also became worried.

'Um? '

"Hoshino-kun, do you think I'm too promiscuous?"

I thought he would like this.

A pair of delicate white hands unconsciously clenched tightly, then she pulled her clothes a little tighter, constantly stealing glances at Hoshino Jun's expression.

blinked.

At this moment, Kato Nana had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem; she was actually flustered because of a man's expression.

Yusuke Takasaki had known her for over ten years and had never evoked such emotions in her before.

"Nana."

"Nana's here!"

Kato Nana suddenly stood up straight, like a primary school student waiting for a teacher's reprimand, waiting for Hoshino Jun to give instructions.

"come over."

Hoshino Jun beckoned the petite and adorable girl over with a flick of his finger, then gently pulled her into his arms.

The softness he felt in his arms made Hoshino Jun squint his eyes comfortably. He felt that Kato Nana was like a warm, comforting pillow.

The April wind, carrying vibrant life, gently blows through every corner of the city.

Tender leaves grow vigorously, and cicadas infest the trees, fully awakening the height of summer.

"Let's go for a walk together, stroll along the tree-lined paths in summer."

Hoshino Jun embraced the girl's soft waist, feeling the warmth and smoothness of her skin, his eyes gently gazing at her delicate face.

Seeing that the girl did not answer, Hoshino Jun's face turned cold again, and he said indifferently, "This is Nana's punishment, she must obey."

"Hoshino-kun."

"I'll do whatever you say, let's go shopping then."

Kato Nana turned her head away, a shy expression on her face, her silky eyes darting away.

The two held hands, and Kato Nana thought to herself that the clothes would probably be dry by the time they came back from their walk.

As time passed, the temperature brought by the sun in the sky rose higher and higher. At this time, Takasaki Yusuke was still standing on the street, bewildered and helpless, enduring the scorching heat of the ultraviolet rays.

"He doesn't answer the phone or reply to messages."

"Nana, are you really that angry with me?"

"Can't you forgive me for this slip of the tongue, considering our relationship of over ten years?"

Even that bastard Hoshino Jun ignored him.

exhausted.

Yusuke Takasaki slumped onto a public bench, now truly regretting his actions and wondering why he had doubted Nana Kato.

I regret coming up with the idea of ​​using Yamada Kaoru's dirty trick to deal with Hoshino Jun, and I regret becoming partners with that idiot Takayanagi Shiro.

But he never regretted framing Hoshino Jun.

Tsukasa Yamada's promise was too expensive; even if he had to do it all over again, he would still continue to torment Jun Hoshino.

"You bastard Hoshino Jun, it's all your fault, it's all your fault."

"If only you hadn't shown up, I would still be working hard to get the same job as Nana."

Just as I was feeling annoyed, my phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Kato Nana, followed by several voice messages.

Yusuke Takasaki was immediately excited.

I knew it! After more than ten years of relationship, how could Nana just ignore me like that?

She must have been angry for a while, and then felt sorry for me.

Yusuke Takasaki thought to himself with delight, and then opened the voice message.

"Yusuke, I suddenly feel like we're not a good match."

"So let's stop seeing each other!"

Huhuhu——!

There was the sound of wind blowing.

Yusuke Takasaki's face turned pale instantly, and his ears suddenly started ringing.

'Nana said.'

'You want to break off our relationship?'

No.

We can't be separated!

Yusuke Takasaki replied anxiously, "Nana, why did you say that!"

"I know I was wrong. I will never doubt you again. I was really wrong. Let's not break up, okay?"

"I will never again let you choose to tolerate something just because we're friends."

"I swear, I will always believe in Nana from now on, and I will always stand by Nana. We're still doing well, okay?"

"This afternoon I'll take you to eat your favorite mousse, go to the amusement park, and then we'll go set off fireworks together tonight."

His voice was filled with panic and anxiety, as was the expression on his face.

The wind was still blowing gently.

Kato Nana's hair fluttered as she looked at Hoshino Jun not far away.

The girl asked shyly, "Hoshino-san, how should I reply to Yusuke?"

"Whatever you want. Why are you asking me about your relationship problems?"

Hoshino Junya didn't care what Kato Nana did.

However, he does have one more thing he needs Takasaki Yusuke's help with.

So while Kato Nana was replying to Takasaki Yusuke, Hoshino Junya took out his phone and sent a message to Takasaki Yusuke.

"It's really over between us. Don't bother me anymore."

"Let's leave it at that. Don't make me look at you with eyes full of disappointment."

Upon receiving the reply, Yusuke Takasaki felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it were being stabbed with a knife. He couldn't believe that Nana Kato was truly willing to separate from him.

After he sent the message, he discovered that Kato Nana had decisively deleted him.

'Damn Yamada Kaoru, damn Takayanagi Shiro, damn Yamada Tsukasa.'

'And then there's Hoshino Jun, who deserves to die.'

'It's all your fault, it's all your fault, Nana and I broke up.'

Yusuke Takasaki's face was flushed, he was panting, and tears were welling up in his eyes.

He believed that his heartbreak was all someone else's fault.

He wanted to get revenge on them. He couldn't afford to mess with Yamada Kaoru and Yamada Tsukasa, so he went after that damned Takayanagi Shiro and Hoshino Jun.

Yusuke Takasaki is no longer afraid of anything.

"I will make you pay the price."

"Beep beep~!"

LINE vibrated again. Yusuke Takasaki looked at his phone screen. It was a message from Jun Hoshino.

"Takasaki-kun, tell me, if Yamada Tsukasa finds out that you leaked the fact that he ordered you to frame me, how will he punish you?"

"Do you want me to keep this a secret, or do you want me to spread the word?"
