Zongman: Harem's Music

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi stood aside with a worried look on his face.

Dong dong dong dong dong…

Takeuchi Shun tapped the desk with his right index finger rhythmically. "If we admit it now and return everything without further investigation, but if we find out in the end...it won't be so simple..."

Takeuchi Shun looked around again, but to his disappointment, he didn't see any anxiety on anyone's face...

Of course you can’t see it, because the criminal never existed in the first place!

"Has anyone returned to the classroom after physical education class?" Takeuchi Shun asked again.

"..."

Under the students' subconscious gazes, Kawai Miki, the only one who agreed to the conditions, froze in expression.

"I... I injured my foot... so... but I didn't..." Kawai Miki raised her hand to indicate that she had returned to the classroom, and then explained anxiously.

Takeuchi Shun glanced at Kawai Miki's left foot, which was bandaged with gauze. "Is it you?"

"I didn't..." Kawai Miki was so anxious that she almost cried!

"Just check the surveillance, don't we have it?" Shimada Kazuki said nonchalantly.

You are really my good friend, Yiqijun! Nishimiya Siyi secretly praised.

As soon as Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's inner voice fell, he saw Kawai Miki shouting, "Yes, check the surveillance, I really didn't do it!"

She felt justified because she knew she didn't steal!

But she didn't know that the watch was quietly placed in her schoolbag. The more righteous she was at the moment, the more dirty her character would become after the charges were proven.

Takeuchi Shun took Nishimiya Tsuyoshi to the monitoring room, but this move was naturally in vain... The power cord of the surveillance camera was destroyed by Nishimiya Tsuyoshi using his supernatural powers before the fourth class started, without anyone noticing!

After inspection, the repairman came to the conclusion: the power cord was aging and short-circuited. Although the copper wire was broken in an unscientific way... the outer hose was not damaged, so there was no possibility of human error!

This is the benefit of super powers!

The only chance to prove Kawai Miki's innocence no longer exists... Her suspicion has become stronger. Amidst the gradually changing meaningful gazes of her classmates, Kawai Miki finally can't sit still anymore!

"I really don't have any. If you don't believe me, you can search me!"

This is what I'm waiting for...

Pockets on the body, desk drawers, and books that might be hidden in the drawers... Takeuchi Shun finally picked up and opened Kawai Miki's schoolbag...

"What else do you want to say now?" Takeuchi Shun said in a cold voice, and took out the Cartier watch under the gaze of everyone.

Kawai Miki was stunned and shook his head: "How could it be... How is it possible... I didn't..."

……

Chapter 22 Thief (Part 2)

"I didn't expect it was really her..."

"That's right, you acted so realistically just now!"

"Come to think of it, hasn't Kawai always been like this?"

"It really is……"

Listening to the discussions around her, Kawai Miki felt helpless and lay on the table and cried, "It really wasn't me... I didn't..."

"HU...Is this the one?" Takeuchi Shun glanced at the Cartier watch. After peeling it off, he saw two development letters inlaid with sapphires in the center of the 12 Roman numerals. He looked at it and handed it to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi!

"Yes, that's right!" Nishimiya Siyi's face was full of surprise as if he had regained what he had lost.

"Then this matter..."

Just as Takeuchi Shun pushed up his glasses, ready to make a big deal out of a small matter and put an end to this matter to avoid more trouble, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's smile froze, "Why isn't the pointer moving... Is it broken..."

"...Let me see it!" Takeuchi Shun took the watch and studied it from left to right.

Men’s pursuit of watches is like women’s pursuit of bags. After a quick inspection, Takeuchi Shun came to a conclusion...it’s really bad!

Looking at the Cartier logo on the back of the watch and the twelve sparkling diamonds on the Roman numerals... Takeuchi Shun looked at Kawai Miki who was crying on the table with pity.

As the class teacher, he roughly knew the family conditions of the students in the class. The cost of repairing this watch would not be a small amount for Kawai Miki's parents!

In this way, Takeuchi Shun contacted Kawai Miki's parents, and Nishimiya Tsukazu contacted his father Kimura Yasei...

Of course, the watch was not given to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi by Kimura Yasei, but this is not important. After briefly telling Kimura Yasei some precautions on the phone, Kimura Yasei took a leave of absence and came to the school to take the watch and send it to the relevant location for identification to determine the specific repair costs. He also decided to resolve the relevant compensation issues privately with Kawai Miki's parents tomorrow!

And just like that... Kawai Miki, who was once the class monitor and was popular in the class, though not universally respected, was now labeled a thief...

His foot was injured but there was no one to help him move. He looked so pitiful alone while having lunch!

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. The ancients never deceived future generations!

The next afternoon, around one o'clock in the afternoon, because of the arrival of Kawai Miki's parents and Kimura Yasei, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi and Kawai Miki finished today's classes early and left school.

A coffee shop!

"Waiter, a latte and a cappuccino! Uncle and aunt, what would you like to drink, Kawai-san?" After entering the coffee shop, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi had already taken off his disguise and showed an ability to take charge that was beyond the Kawai family's expectations, so that the parent Kimura Yasumasa became a foil.

"Two cups of black tea and a glass of juice!" said Kawai Ken, Kawai Miki's father.

"Please wait a moment!" The waiter took note and left in a hurry.

After a while, the coffee and juice were ready, and Kimura Yasei took out a folder from his briefcase and pulled out a certificate of appraisal.

The general content is that the watch is authentic, limited edition in 2003, and the selling price at that time was around 2 million yen (about 120,000 RMB). Now it has appreciated to 5 million yen (about 300,000 yen). The damaged parts are internal parts, and need to be sent to the French factory for manual repair. The repair cost is about 400,000 yen!

Four hundred thousand yen, which is more than 20,000 yuan, is not a staggering amount that would bankrupt you or force you to sell everything you have, but it is not a small amount either. It is just at the point that makes people feel distressed.

Looking at the amount of compensation he needed on the appraisal report, Kawai Ken glared at his daughter fiercely and said bitterly, "Mr. Kimura, let's go to the bank!"

"no need!"

The one who spoke was Xigong Siyi.

"..."

The Kawai family also turned their attention to this child whose temperament suddenly changed after leaving school.

"I don't need compensation!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi glanced at Kawai Miki, then shifted his gaze to Kawai Ken, "Transfer to another school! If Kawai Miki transfers, we'll give up the compensation!"

"This..." Kawai Ken was confused by Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's words, and subconsciously looked at Kimura Yasuke, as if asking: Can his words represent your will?

Kimura Yasei smiled, which was considered as his agreement.

"What's there to hesitate about?" Nishimiya Tsukasa took a sip of coffee and smiled faintly. "The amount you need to pay is 400,000 yen, and the transfer fee... If you go to a public school, you only have to pay for the textbooks once. Even if you go to a private school, the tuition fee is only 150,000 yen. It's a good deal, isn't it?"

Yes, it’s a great deal!

Kawai Kenxin was tempted, but he didn't understand... why? Why would the other party rather give up 400,000 yuan in compensation and let his daughter transfer schools? Is there something he doesn't know?

Nishimiya Tsukasa added, "Besides...after this incident, it will be difficult for Miki-san to get along with herself in the class, right?"

"..."

Nishimiya Tsukasa's words reminded Kawai Miki of her situation in the class over the past two days. It no longer mattered whether she stole something while falling to the ground... Kawai Miki tugged at the corner of her father's clothes with tears in her eyes.

……

Chapter 23: Humor is great!

"What happened? I don't remember ever giving you such an expensive gift!"

After the Kawai family left, Kimura Yasei glanced at his son who was leisurely sitting beside him.

"She's so pitiful, isn't she? A helpless little girl, but she's one of the culprits who caused Nozomi's hearing to worsen!"

Nishimiya Tsukasa picked up the Cartier watch on the table and put it into his backpack. "Glass has taken a two-week leave, and today is the fifth day... There is still a week left. During this time, I will get rid of all the people in the class who bullied her, so that she can spend the last semester of her elementary school career happily!

Kimura Yasei took a sip of his latte and said, "I see. No wonder you suddenly wanted to go to school... So this is your purpose..."

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi believed he had kept Ishida Shoya very secret, but it wasn't like he had no clues to look for. As long as there was enough information, it would be easy to connect this Kawai Miki incident to the previous Ishida Shoya incident...

As one of the few people who understood Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's purpose, and who had previously learned from Nishimiya Tsuyoshi the name of Ishida Shoya, who was the direct cause of the deterioration of Naoko's ear, and who had been following the recent uproar over the Kyoto child abuse case, Kimura Yasei seemed to have thought of something, and finally shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "I've already told the publisher about your requirements for the illustrations for 'Five Seconds'. The artists we usually work with who match our style are out of availability, and those who do have availability don't. It's really troublesome!"

"Is this so..."

Xigong Siyi thought for a moment and said helplessly: "If it really doesn't work, I'll have to do it myself!"

"That's not necessary!" Kimura Yasei smiled. "They recommended a manga artist with a wide range of styles, but if we want her to help with the illustrations, we need to negotiate it ourselves. The publisher has a bottom line for the remuneration, and it can't be higher than that. The time has been arranged for tomorrow!"

"I will go with you!"

"No need, don't you have more important things to do?" Kimura Yasei stood up and patted Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's shoulder. "Glass is not only your sister, but also my daughter. I can't say that what you did is necessarily right, but it is undoubtedly good for Glasgow. But you must pay attention to... the limits!"

Did you still notice it?

Nishimiya Siyi nodded heavily: "I understand!"

Kimura Yasei: "I'll go pay the bill and then take you home!"

Nishimiya Siyi shook his head: "Let's go back to school. They will notice if we go back so early!"

"Okay!" Kimura Yasei nodded.

In this way, the father and son reached a kind of consensus!

……

That day, at night, after dinner.

"Like this...like this...like this, and then like this...do you understand?" On the coffee table, Nishimiya Tsukasa was tutoring Glass on the lessons she had missed today.

“…” Glass shook his head, looking as if he didn’t understand.

"Uh... didn't I realize before that you are so stupid? How can you be a sister like this? From now on, just call me Onii-chan!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi said with disgust.

"Humph!" Knowing what Nishimiya Tsukasa meant, Naoko curled her lips. "Aaaaaaa (No matter how dumb my sister is), I'm still my sister!"

"Actually, the idea is very simple..." Although he pretended to be disgusted, Nishimiya Siyi showed no impatience at all and started explaining again.

Did you really not understand? Of course not!

Due to the lack of interpersonal relationships with friends, she has a lot of free time. Apart from spending time with her younger siblings, the only way for Glass to relieve her loneliness is to read and study... She simply enjoys the process of being patiently taught by Siyi!

While bickering with others completely unaware of their meaning, the two of them enjoyed a fun that belonged only to them!

"Onii-chan...do I look like it?"

On the other side of Nishimiya Tsukasa, Yuzuru was holding a little boy, imitating the expression of a round, egg-yolk-colored creature and poking his little head over.

"Stop it, I'm telling Glass..." Nishimiya Tsutomu tilted his head, "Pfft~"

"Hehehe..." Glass, who was also looking at Yuzuru, couldn't help laughing.

The thing Yuzuru was holding was a funny pillow that Nishimiya Tsukazu had exchanged from the exchange box not long ago and gave to the two sisters to play with... The combination of curved eyebrows, curved eyes, curved mouth, round head, slanted eyes, and a simple structure, pieced together to form an exaggerated expression, which itself makes people laugh. Add to that a little loli who looks 50% like her... and it has some of the style of the funny method that was popular in the previous life!

"Ouch!"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi mercilessly gave Yuzuru a blow to the head!

“Oh my!” Yuzuru held his head with a look of grievance, but after seeing the funny thing, he couldn’t help laughing, “Hehehe… Onii-chan, its expression is really annoying!”

"Hate it, you are still imitating him?" Xigong Siyi said unhappily.

You must want to make me laugh to death and then inherit my glass, no, system! Right?

Yuzuru raised his comic book high, having already fallen for its charm. "It's annoying, but also so cute..."

It seems that this world doesn't have any emoticons yet, so maybe this is a business opportunity! Inspired by Yuzuru, Nishimiya Tsutomu thought to himself.

The system's exchange for this world, Tsurugi, discovered some clues. All daily necessities, um... or should I say things that are not related to combat and have no lethality, are pitifully cheap. For example, luxury goods worth hundreds of thousands of RMB are only worth a mere 0.5 points, while the starting price of a sharp iron sword is 25 points.

In other words, money has lost its former importance to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi... But even so, he still has to find a way to hide the source of his money, otherwise it would be considered black money.

In addition...

Nishimiya Tsukazu turned his gaze to his mother, Yaeko, who was watching TV with her grandmother not far away.

Yaeko seems to be working as a senior executive in a certain company, a professional manager. The salary is high but also very hard. Her father, Kimura Yasei, is in a similar situation. Maybe she can help them start a business and then be at ease as a rich second generation~

……

Chapter 24 Plan!

The next day, Saturday, morning!

At the end of spring but before the arrival of summer, a spring rain quietly arrived, and the coolness returned... The rustling rain slapped the broad leaves of the sycamore tree in the yard, and water splashed all around, as if wrapping the sycamore tree with a layer of misty gauze!

Wearing a homely white linen retro T-shirt and black cropped pants, Xigong Siyi hugged a bamboo sword after breakfast, half leaning against the wall, looking at the drizzling rain in the yard with a helpless look!

"Siyi, it's getting cold now, be careful not to catch a cold, put this on!" The grandma, whose back was bent by the years, came over with the support of Gaozi, holding a hand-knitted red scarf in her hand!
