In Tokyo: They are heavily dependent on me

Chapter 37. This is outrageous!

[Junior~ Tomorrow's the weekend, do you have any plans?]

Hoshino Kaoru had been staring at the message for a full minute, and now he had a very embarrassing problem to solve.

He couldn't remember who the other person was.

Asking rashly will definitely leave a bad impression on the other person.

After thinking about it, he decided to try another method to find out the other party's identity.

[I plan to hand out flyers in Shibuya and use the weekend to learn Spanish.]

A few seconds after the message was sent, an unread message notification sounded.

[Ah, you're really working hard, junior. Would you like to come out sometime? It's on me, consider it compensation for last time.]

compensate?

Xun frowned, and then it dawned on her.

Oh! So it's that sexy, hot senior I met when I went out with Rin last time.

If he didn't have anything to do, he would certainly be willing to go out with such a witty and hot senior. However, he had too many things to do on the weekend. The ramen shop would be opening on the weekend, and he needed to make the most of these two days to promote it and attract more customers.

It would be great if someone could help distribute the flyers.

After politely declining the offer from the sexy senior, he came up with a plan.

I found Kobayashi Chio in my contact list and then sent her a message.

[I have something to tell you. Come with me to hand out flyers this weekend. Don't tell me you don't have time.]

After a while.

Why me? I don't want to, unless you give me money, 1 yen.

[My dear Kobayashi, have you forgotten who earned your 8 yen? If it weren't for you, I could have easily lost the competition, gambled away all your money, and watched you cry.]

[Okay, I promise you, but just this once.]

Seeing that she had agreed, Xun breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, and the pain from a certain part of her body immediately spread throughout her body.

He came back to life...

He felt completely relaxed. He had made a prior agreement with the young lady that if he won, she would apologize to him and grant him one request.

He's not interested in apologizing, and as for demands... he hasn't thought of anything yet.

What kind of request should be made?

If the young lady were to dress up as a maid, wear stockings that just cover her calves, and finally put on fluffy cat ears, Kaoru felt that such a scene would be unforgettable for him for the rest of his life.

However... if he really made such a request, he was a little worried that he might be punished by that young lady afterward.

"She shouldn't be the kind of person who holds grudges."

Kaoru thought to herself that she had deliberately set the air conditioner to a very low temperature, causing Mizukami to have to rub against her body for warmth in the middle of the night. Even though Mizukami didn't hold a grudge against her for that, she definitely wouldn't mind if she had to wear such shameful clothes.

Okay! Let's do it this way!

After making the plan, he remembered an important problem when he was about to implement it.

"Oh no, after winning the game, I was so focused on showing off that I forgot about something else important."

"What should we do now...?"

Kaoru racked his brains. He didn't know the Mizukami family's address, and finding her was impossible. The only person who knew her contact number... perhaps only...

Shoko-sensei!

She is a teacher after all, so she must know information about the students on the water.

So, Kaoru dialed Ms. Shoko's number.

He spoke first as soon as the call connected.

"Ms. Shoko, I have something important to ask you!"

"Speak, what do you need me to trouble you with this time, teacher?" Shoko's answer was very straightforward, as if she had expected him to call.

"I want to know the address on the water... or I can call if necessary."

"I'm sorry, but this is the only thing I can't do. All of Mizukami's information is classified as important confidential information by the school, and I am not authorized to view it at my level."

"Oh...so do you know who else in school, besides me, is close to Shui Shang?"

"Except for you..." Ms. Shoko fell into deep thought, then quickly thought of something, "Ruri Yanagishita from Class 2-B, she enrolled on the same day as Minakami, and I saw them leave the school on the same bus."

Did you ride in the same car?

Kaoru immediately became alert.

If the two had only met a few times, given the young lady's wariness of "whoever knows her identity will be killed," she would never have allowed such a stranger to get on the bus.

Thus...Kaoru quickly came to a conclusion.

These two people definitely know each other!

Moreover, I've known him for much longer than I've known him!

It turned out to be the case.

Kaoru quickly understood.

Ah, he was wondering why that guy was so ruthless towards him, a complete stranger, aiming for his groin! Turns out it was the young lady's order!

Xun nodded, silently making a grudge.

He absolutely must get revenge! Absolutely!

"Hey, is there anything else?" Hearing that he didn't speak, Shoko began to urge him impatiently.

"Ms. Shoko, could you please tell me the address of Captain Yanagishita? I'd like to spar with her in kendo."

"Oh... okay, take notes."

Shoko-sensei also heard about the match between Hoshino Kaoru and Yanagi no Shinobu, the captain of the kendo club.

She was very pleased that her student had won and had not disgraced Class A, so she naturally agreed to this trivial request.

After arriving at the address of the Kendo Club president, Kaoru hung up the phone and opened a navigation app.

Coincidentally, it wasn't far from where he lived; it only took twenty minutes to cycle there.

There was no time to lose; Kaoru didn't intend to delay the most important matter.

After going downstairs, I got on my bicycle and rode towards my destination.

That despicable young lady! How dare she scheme against him in such a way!

Knowing he wanted to join the club, they deliberately posted related messages on the school forum to attract his attention, then provoked him into participating in a match he was destined to lose.

In this way, if he loses the game, he will have to be a servant of the Mizukami family for the rest of his life!

No wonder that guy who wasn't interested in anything back then followed us!

If it weren't for the system's help, he wouldn't have had any chance of winning even after using up all three universal learning cards.

Kaoru had already imagined the darkest moment for herself after losing the game, becoming a servant of the Mizukami family.

That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

Once he finds the young lady, he will definitely unleash the resentment in his heart!

Upon arriving at the address marked on the navigation software, we found ourselves in what appeared to be an ordinary detached house.

Xun knocked on the door, and about half a minute later, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Then, the door was opened.

"Ah, hello."

The door was opened a crack, and a delicate face and striking blond hair draped over her shoulders came into his view.

Upon seeing him, the other person seemed somewhat embarrassed, lowered their head, and said in a very soft voice, "Please come in."

Kaoru stepped into the entryway.

The door was then closed.
