My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi stopped listening to what was said after that.

Then they tiptoed out of the detective agency and headed towards the school.

When they arrived at the place agreed upon with Sonoko Suzuki, Sonoko looked at Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi with a very strange expression.

Kaoru Takayanagi is wearing the Teitan High School uniform today, and she doesn't look like a country girl at all.

But Ran Mouri seems to be having some problems today; she looks very worried.

Could it be that after I left yesterday, Ran Mouri stayed at Ichiro Takayanagi's house, and something happened between them?

This shouldn't have happened. You know, she fell in love at first sight with Takayanagi Ichiro yesterday and confessed her feelings to him.

The two engaged in intimate acts, and she considered herself to be Takayanagi Ichiro's girlfriend.

Although Ran Mouri knew Ichiro Takayanagi before she did, Ran Mouri still had Shinichi Kudo as her childhood friend, so nothing should happen between her and Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that her good friend was still lost in thought, Sonoko Suzuki went over and shook Ran Mouri a couple of times to finally bring her back to her senses.

"Garden!"

"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? You seem to have reverted to the state you were in a few days ago."

You told me about your family situation yesterday. Now you're living at Brother Gao Liu's house, being Xiao Xun's personal tutor to pay off your debts. Isn't that a good thing?

Why are you still so worried? Is there something troubling you?

As Ran Mouri's best friend, Sonoko Suzuki naturally hopes to help her friend when she encounters difficulties.

However, this requires the cooperation of Ran Mouri, her good friend. If Sonoko Suzuki were to guess everything, there would definitely be no result.

After hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said, Mouri Ran knew that Takayanagi Kaoru hadn't revealed anything.

"The garden is just some small thing in my family."

There's absolutely no need for you to worry about me like that; I lost my composure just now.

After Ran Mouri finished speaking, she immediately changed her expression, as if nothing had happened.

Unable to get any good answers from Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki could only turn her attention to Kaoru Takayanagi.

Yesterday, she and Takayanagi Ichiro were kissing and touching each other in front of Takayanagi Kaoru, which means she can be considered Takayanagi Kaoru's sister-in-law.

However, while Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi's mother were cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, Kaoru did something that left her speechless, but fortunately she gave a perfect explanation afterward.

Sonoko Suzuki originally wanted to communicate more with Kaoru Takayanagi, but she received a phone call at home and had to go home early.

Even so, Sonoko Suzuki knew that Kaoru Takayanagi wasn't a liar, so she asked her seriously:

"Xiao Xun, is what your sister Xiao Lan said true?"

Sonoko Suzuki's question made Ran Mouri a little nervous. She was afraid that Kaoru Takayanagi wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure from Sonoko and would choose to make everything public.

"Sister Sonoko, I saw some things at Sister Ran's house today, but just like Sister Ran said, it was just her family matter."

Xiaolan's state just now was simply because she couldn't figure things out for a moment; there's no need to worry too much.

Kaoru Takayanagi didn't tell the truth, which relieved Ran Mouri.

"It turns out it's just a family matter. I think you don't need to worry about it at all, Lan."

Because you will be living in Brother Gao Liu's house from now on, becoming Xiao Jun's personal tutor.

As for your father, he's a grown man; he'll definitely take good care of himself.

Since her younger sister, Kaoru Takayanagi, could testify, Sonoko Suzuki believed this explanation.

Because Ran Mouri does indeed think too much about her family.

"Okay, I'll take care of these problems. Let's go to school now."

Ran Mouri nodded in agreement, and the three high school girls walked together towards Teitan High School.

.............

Takayanagi Ichiro's credit office has another client today.

“Principal Akagi, my loan agency has only been open for a short time, and I’m quite surprised that you were able to find us here for loan consultation.”

Sitting across from Ichiro Takayanagi's desk was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was bald and did not use a wig to cover it up; he looked exactly like a school principal.

"Head of the Takayanagi family, actually, the Takayanagi family also has a share in our Sakakino Academy."

When asked by Takayanagi Ichiro, Principal Akagi simply changed his form of address, thus increasing the intimacy between the two.

Chapter 124 The Enthusiastic Female Students of Sakakino Academy

If an ordinary person comes to this loan company, they will generally address Takayanagi Ichiro as President Takayanagi.

However, if someone with ties to the Takayanagi family comes to see Takayanagi Ichiro, they can only address him as the head of the Takayanagi family.

Because they had previously cooperated with the Gao family on loans, they needed to demonstrate that they had a relationship in order to have a better chance of future cooperation.

Just like Principal Akagi now, he not only changed his title, but also said that Ichiro Takayanagi has a certain share in the school he now manages.

"Principal Akagi, I don't quite understand what you mean."

All Takayanagi Ichiro has at the moment is the loan contract; he doesn't know much about other things.

It's unclear whether Principal Akagi collaborated with Musashi Takayanagi or with Ichiro Takayanagi's father.

"That was more than ten years ago. My school was facing a severe financial crisis, so we completed a loan transaction with your father, the head of the Takayanagi family."

That time, your father, the head of the Takayanagi family, not only didn't charge me interest, but also didn't limit my repayment time.

In the end, I successfully protected my school and completed the repayment.

I wrote a contract transferring a certain share of the school to your father, the head of the Takayanagi family, but he never accepted it.

However, I will always keep that contract in my office. Once the head of the Takayanagi family has my approval, I will hand it over.

At this point, Principal Akagi began to recount his past with Ichiro Takayanagi's father.

After listening, Takayanagi Ichiro nodded. This was something his predecessor's father would do.

Because ten years ago, her father had also helped Eri Kisaki.

"So, Principal Akagi, is your school facing another crisis?"

Takayanagi Ichiro didn't bring up the share agreement himself, but instead asked to find out why Principal Akagi had come here.

"Yes, because some of the school's investments have tied up a lot of funds."

So we're having a little trouble paying our employees' salaries right now, which is why we're thinking of asking you, Master Gao Liu, for a loan to tide us over.

Don't worry, this time you can calculate the interest however you like, and I will transfer the contract for that share to you afterwards.

"If the Takayanagi family doesn't believe me, you can come to our school and see for yourself."

Principal Akagi extended an invitation to Ichiro Takayanagi at this time, because the collateral definitely needed to be approved by Ichiro Takayanagi.

"can."

Takayanagi Ichiro now knows that Principal Akagi is the principal of Kamino Academy.

Previously, while on the train, the students invited Ichiro Takayanagi to give a lecture at the school, so now it's a good opportunity to get a feel for things.

Principal Akagi was overjoyed that Takayanagi Ichiro actually agreed to his request.

Then, Ichiro Takayanagi told Mitsuka Takayanagi that she could close the shop and rest, and that she didn't need to open for business today.

There was no intention to take Takayanagi Mitsuka out; Takayanagi Ichiro could handle that alone.

..................

"That Makoto Ito actually didn't drop out of school voluntarily, he really has a thick skin."

"He's already been ostracized in his class, but I heard there's one girl whose attitude towards him hasn't changed."

"You're talking about Saionji Sekai, right? She's always been very nice to Ito Makoto, or rather, she's always been very nice to everyone."

"I think Saionji Sekai likes Ito Makoto, but unfortunately Ito Makoto has no idea."

"It's best not to know. I still think more highly of Saionji Sekai, a student in the same grade."

If Ito Makoto actually realizes what's happening and agrees to date him, that would be the real harm to Saionji Sekai.

In Katsura Kotonoha's class, the students were all talking about Ito Makoto and Saionji Sekai.

The main reason is that the incident of secretly filming was too famous, after all, it was related to the school's legend, and Makoto Ito apologized in front of the entire school.

In her new class, Katsura Kotonoha wasn't very proactive in making friends, but many female classmates still wanted to surround her.

The main reason was the influence of the female classmates on the train at that time, who could tell that Katsura Kotonoha and Takayanagi Ichiro had a good relationship.

If I stay with Katsura Kotonoha, I might be able to see Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Gui, we see that the senior has come to our school."

Just then, a short-haired girl ran up to Katsura Kotonoha and excitedly told him what had happened.

"Senior?"

Katsura Kotonoha was a little confused; she had never met any upperclassmen at this school.

Katsura Kotonoha's reaction infuriated the girl, so she grabbed her hand and led her to the window, pointing to the two people below and saying:

"The person below is the principal; we will never forget his iconic bald head."

The other one is the senior who helped you on the tram, have you already forgotten him?

After hearing what the girl said, many students gathered around the window to look at the people below. Sure enough, they saw a handsome young man walking together with the bald principal.

"Wow, he's so handsome! Is that the senior who exposed Makoto Ito for taking photos without my consent?"

"The principal is not worthy to stand beside the senior students."

"Should we go up and say hello to the senior? I didn't expect him to actually come to our school."

Takayanagi Ichiro did not attend Kamino Academy for high school; under normal circumstances, he would not come to that school.

Last time on the train, those girls extended an invitation to Ichiro Takayanagi.
