Tokyo: I'm bound to the evil women!

"Ichinomiya, your room is the innermost guest room on the second floor."

"I've already spoken with my parents, so you can stay here without worry for the time being."

"Thanks."

After taking the things from Fujiwara Matsushita's hands, Shiratori Saki followed her upstairs.

Chiya Mio moved closer to Fujiwara Matsu, a slight smile on her face:

"Hey, Matsu, I'm planning to do something to the little guy you took in. You won't be angry, will you?"

Fujiwara Matsu frowned immediately, unsure of her meaning.

"I'm very unhappy, so I'll make her suffer even more."

She told Fujiwara Matsu her plan frankly, not by asking or suggesting anything, but simply by calmly informing him.

"Have you two talked?"

"I gave her a choice from the beginning."

Fujiwara Matsu looked enlightened. Chiya Mio was indeed a good person in his eyes, but in the beginning, her threats had also caused Fujiwara Matsu's life to fall apart.

He never forgot what kind of personality the person in front of him had.

"Will I die?"

"I know what I'm doing."

"It's your business, do as you please."

"As expected of you, Matsu, this is something I'd do. Excellent performance, I'm very satisfied. Here's a reward..."

She took a step forward and stood on tiptoe.

Dominance: 29% - 31%

"Talk is talk, but don't lay a hand on me."

Fujiwara Matsu stopped Chiya Misaki from kissing him, unaware that Ando Ayaka was watching the scene from the corner.

"It's almost lunchtime, would you like to stay for lunch?"

"No, I have something to do, and she probably has something to say to you too, so I'll give you some space."

Chiyo's gaze shifted to Ando Ayaka, who was watching from a distance. She stood at the door of the storage room, her expression somewhat complicated.

"What did you talk about this time?"

"unimportant."

Shiratori Saki quickly came downstairs. His guest rooms were originally for guests to stay in, and after a little cleaning, they were ready to be occupied.

"Sazaki, let's go."

"Huh? You're not staying for lunch now?"

"Sazaki, let's go."

Chiya Misaki pulled Shiratori Saki away, and Fujiwara Matsu closed the door behind her. Ichinomiya Satsuki stood on the second floor, watching the two of them from upstairs.

"Ichinomiya, I have something to discuss with her."

Upon hearing his words, Ichinomiya Satsuki turned and went back to her room, while Fujiwara Matsu glanced at the time.

[Duration: 1 hour 3 minutes]

No matter what, his heart-to-heart talk with Ayaka Ando shouldn't have taken this long.

In front of their own terrace, Fujiwara Matsu and Ando Ayaka stood by the railing, Fujiwara Matsu turning his head to look out the window.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"Um."

"Thank you, Fujiwara-san."

"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything, on the contrary..."

"That's not what I'm grateful for. I'm very grateful that you gave me a chance to be reborn."

The girl took a step closer to Fujiwara Matsu and tried to grab his hand, but he shook her off.

"Reborn? I don't remember doing that much."

Fujiwara Matsu never once looked at her; the word "temptation" kept him extremely wary of Ando Ayaka from the very beginning.

Yes, there are.

"Fujiwara-san, can I tell you a story?"

"Do as you please."

"..."

She briefly recounted her past, but Fujiwara Matsu listened with little interest, even yawning out of boredom.

The gist of it is that, to avoid being bullied by girls, she chose to stay with boys, but later became homeless and chose to work as a "prostitute," exploiting people's kindness and lust for money.

"However, I have never done anything to betray myself. The reason I ran away was because my stepfather failed."

At the end, she specifically emphasized that she had not become too depraved.

"If it weren't for you, Fujiwara-san, I might already be..."

"Is the story over?"

Turning her gaze back, Fujiwara Matsuru spoke:

"Is it my turn?"

"First of all, I don't care about your past. Who you are is none of my business."

"The reason I took you in is very simple."

"I just don't like seeing others who are willing but unable to survive."

"You don't need to be fair to me, you only need to be fair to yourself."

He paused, he rarely said such things, and felt ashamed to utter them.

"I've never been a god, and I never intended to save you."

"I don't need your repayment. I'm just a kind-hearted, overly generous person, just passing by..."

Even so, you've already...

Fujiwara Matsu waved his hand to interrupt her next words and opened the glass door.

"You should think about how you can stay in school."

He turned and went upstairs, where Ichinomiya Satsuki was waiting for him by the door.

The two turned and went into Fujiwara Matsu's room, not wanting their conversation to be overheard.

"Why didn't you use this ability on Chiya?"

She asked a question she had never understood: this ability could be used on Chiya Mio, but Fujiwara Matsu had never used it.

"Having you is enough."

"Didn't she guess it too?"

After she finished speaking, she began to regret her words. Her thought process was still the same, but the density of her thinking was low, which led her to make such a basic mistake.

This was tantamount to revealing the topic of their conversation to Fujiwara Matsu.

It seems she didn't tell us what she knew.

Upon hearing this news, Fujiwara Matsu felt much relieved.

"So what if I guessed it? Will you tell me?"

These words silenced Ichinomiya Satsuki. He was right; although she had agreed, she wouldn't tell Chiya Mio.

Having gleaned the answer from her silence, Fujiwara Matsu was not satisfied and began to try to mislead her.

"I don't know the cost of letting her try."

Although he didn't know if it would be effective.

"You don't understand the cost?"

This was the second time she had asked this question, but this time, Fujiwara Matsu gave the same reaction as before.

Although there was still a long time before Ichinomiya Satsuki's weakening ended, Fujiwara Matsu still chose to end the conversation abruptly, parting ways with her and concluding the dialogue.

He needed to create the impression that he wasn't quite sure about the timing.

"Are you done talking? If you are, go back to your room. I need to cook."

"etc……"

Even when she called out to Fujiwara Matsu, he ignored her calls and went downstairs on his own, pretending to be serious about cooking.

She glanced at the time; it was still a long time before her usual mealtime.

This guy... is he in such a hurry to leave? Is it time?

However, Fujiwara Matsu clearly had no intention of continuing any further communication with him; she could only wait for her original abilities to return.

Downstairs, Ayaka Ando, ​​who had been waiting, came over:

"Ms. Ichinomiya, may I call you that?"

Satsuki Ichinomiya looked at her with a completely different gaze than at anyone else; it was pure indifference, as if she didn't even consider her a threat.

So much so that she was too lazy to even speak, but this did not stop Ayaka Ando from asking. Although she was not sure if she would agree, she still asked.

"Can I get a part-time job at a shrine?"
