Chapter 140 30: Kondo Saki wants to know
[Sorry, Kyoko, my phone was stolen yesterday. 】
【So that's it, it's fine, it's okay, the thief is so hateful! 】
After lunch.
Looking at the message from his mother on LINE, Shirai breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was not a good thing if her phone was stolen, it was still less serious than anything she could think of.
She finally relaxed after being tense all day.
"Do you want to take the bus today?" Hirosue asked after class.
"No, no, I have enough time to take the train there, so I can't trouble you too much." Shirai refused.
Hirosue didn't force it, nodded, greeted several classmates, and left the classroom.
Not paying attention to the strange looks from others, Shirai packed his things and left the school.
Work as usual, go home as usual.
In school, she and Hirosue Ryomiya began to get closer and closer, and they communicated with each other more and more.
These are the happiest days since she came here to go to school.
She thought this calmness would continue all the way.
Only today, the peace was broken.
She stood in the corridor of the apartment, looking strangely at the "guests" standing in front of her door.
"You must be Ms. Shirai. When we first meet, I am Kenji Nakagawa."
A man in a suit saw Kyoko Shirai and greeted her with a smile.
Shirai looked at the people in front of her. She only recognized her father, the man who was restrained, with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
Holding the phone tightly, she asked carefully: "What do you want?"
Nakagawa glanced at her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, we are a legal club and we will not do anything illegal. Now it's mainly because your father owes us a huge debt, so he has to resort to some means for the survival of our company."
Shirai looked at his father, he lowered his head and trembled. body.
“How much is owed?”
“For a guest like Mr. Shirai, we don’t want to drive him to death, so we only need to repay two million yen.”
Shirai's eyes were downcast, his face was pale, and he shook his head in despair: "I don't have that much money."
"That's it." Nakagawa nodded without surprise, took out a business card from his arms, and held it up with both hands. "This is my business card. It is valid for three days. After three days, please throw the business card into the sea."
"You, you are breaking the law!" Shirai understood. His hint was urgent.
Nakagawa showed a puzzled expression: "Did I do something? Are you talking about your father's injury? We saw him being beaten on the road and kindly saved him. You said it was Mr. Shirai, don't let us good people be wronged in vain."
"Yes," Shirai's father said with difficulty.
"Then we won't bother you. You can contact me at any time within three days. That's it, Shirai-chan——"
"Wait!" Shirai interrupted him, silently took out his wallet, and carefully put it in his wallet. All the change inside was poured out and held in the palm of his hand, "These are all I have, can I let my father go first?"
Zhongchuan looked at the scattered bills in her hand and shook his head slowly: "It's a pity, but if you still have nothing to do after three days, you can call me. Maybe I can show you a way."
They left, leaving Shirai alone. He stood there blankly, clutching the scattered money.
Late night.
Shirai was lying on the dining table, staring at the neatly folded money on the table, counting the money several times, and was in a daze.
“Meow~”
“Huh? Are you comforting me?”
“Meow.”
“I have two million yen”< br>
She took out her phone and looked at her mother's chat box, typing and deleting. It took a long time before she sent a message.
【Mom, are you free these two days? 】
After a while.
【I'm free at five o'clock tomorrow. See you at Hidakaya? 】【Yeah, okay, good night, mom】
[Good night]
Taking a leave from the convenience store owner, Shirai struggled to sleep with his thoughts on his mind.
The next day.
“Did you temporarily change the destination for this autumn outing?”
“Of course, who wouldn’t want to go to Gaul now to see the giant hands holding the tower.”
In early October, autumn has quietly arrived.
But Tokyo is still very hot.
The students in Shirai’s class are all discussing the destination of this autumn outing.
During the recess, Hirosue was surrounded by many people as usual, discussing the current society or things around him.
Autumn outing is undoubtedly the highlight.
Even if they are the young masters of some group club, at this age, only a very small number of people can participate in family affairs. The suffocating elite education and the breathtaking leisure and entertainment constitute the main theme of their lives. .
"Shirai, are you going?"
Hirosue suddenly asked Shirai, who was sitting diagonally opposite and doing a question.
The discussion beside her stopped abruptly.
A pair of eyes looked at Shirai Kyoko who just raised her head.
She forced a smile and said: "No, it's too expensive."
"Don't worry, Shirai. Don't you have some money left over from previous activities as class fees? There will be subsidies for deviant students. Everyone agrees. "Yes." A girl said with good intentions.
"Yes, let's go together. Isn't it uncomfortable to do the questions every day?"
"That's right, we are all in the same group."
Hirosue's face became more and more complex. The gray Shirai clapped her hands and showed her standard smile: "Okay, everyone, stop talking, but do any of you don't want to go to Gaul? You can also mention it to the teacher to see if you want to make a new decision. As mentioned last time The changes were a little rushed.”
Everyone's discussion point was brought back by her words, and no one continued to discuss Shirai.
Shirai cast a grateful look at Hirosue.
Although it was clearly Hirosue who started this topic.
During lunch break, they still ate together.
"Hirosue-san, I, I didn't mean to reject you, it's just that something happened at home recently, and I'm not in the mood. I'm sorry!" Shirai looked at Hirosue worriedly, fearing that she would be angry.
Hirosue's face remained normal: "I understand you, haven't you considered me a friend?"
Shirai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief: "Yes, we are friends!"
< br>"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
"Yes! I will do it"
Teaching Building.
Saki Kondo, who had a gloomy face, crossed his arms and looked coldly at the two people sitting side by side in the garden in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
In the garden, Hirosue felt something in his heart and looked up.
There are only a few people walking or chatting in the corridor of the teaching building, nothing unusual.
"What's wrong?" Shirai also looked around, but didn't see anything special.
"It's okay, I just felt like someone was peeking." Hirosue didn't take it to heart. There were many people peeking at her every day. If everyone had to care, there would be no need to live.
After chatting with Hirosue for a while, although she didn't say what was on her mind, it made her feel a lot more relaxed.
In the year she came to school, as a deviation student, she has always been like an outlier. She probably doesn't talk as much as she does to Little Honey at home.
Now there is someone who takes the initiative to accept her as a friend
She is very happy.
This offsets a lot of negative emotions accumulated yesterday.
