"Mrs. Nagasaki, hello."
Kitahara Makoto nodded politely, his attitude courteous but maintaining distance.
Although Mrs. Nagasaki in front of him was still charming, living off a rich woman was definitely out of the question.
Given Mrs. Nagasaki's age, her daughter was probably around the same age as him. Kitahara Makoto really had no interest in stealing away her daughter.
Mrs. Nagasaki clearly noticed Kitahara Makoto's attitude, but her expression didn't change at all, and she said softly:
"Kitahara-kun, don't be nervous, and don't misunderstand. I actually work at this beauty center, but my position is higher than other employees; I'm specifically responsible for receiving high-level members."
The so-called high-level members were clearly rich wives.
Just like real estate agents, there are high-end and low-end distinctions. Ordinary agents work hard every day, while high-end agents are sought after by clients.
Mrs. Nagasaki continued:
"Kitahara-kun's weight loss ability is very incredible. If, after subsequent evaluation, it is confirmed that it does not cause harm to the human body and has no other side effects, then you could absolutely be called the 'God of Weight Loss'."
Kitahara Makoto: "..."
God of Weight Loss?
That sounds really awkward, okay?
Japan, this place, loves to create all kinds of gods, like the God of Ramen... Can you become a god just by having decades of experience?
Gods are too cheap!
Mrs. Nagasaki in front of him had an elegant voice, and her every gesture exuded charm; she was indeed still captivating:
"Mrs. Sato doesn't have many friends. Relying solely on word-of-mouth from clients makes it difficult to grow and succeed. Coincidentally, I have a large number of clients... If you cooperate with me, you will never have to worry about clients again. Kitahara-kun, please consider it carefully."
Mrs. Nagasaki said as she handed him a business card:
"This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it."
At the same time.
Togawa Sakiko had just sent Mrs. Sato off, and upon returning, she heard some vague, suggestive words.
"In the future... you won't have to worry anymore..."
"You consider it..."
"It would be a pity to miss it..."
Togawa Sakiko immediately clenched her fists, feeling completely unwell.
She might not have eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run. As a former noble young lady, Togawa Sakiko clearly understood how dirty the internal affairs of wealthy families could be.
She just went out to see someone off, and she was already being stolen from?
No!
Absolutely not!
Togawa Sakiko bit her lower lip and quickly stepped forward.
"Togawa-san...?"
Kitahara Makoto heard hurried footsteps, turned his head, and saw Togawa Sakiko walking quickly towards him.
The next second.
Togawa Sakiko directly extended her arms and hugged his arm. Kitahara Makoto only felt his arm immediately sink into two soft masses.
What's going on?
You haven't been possessed by ghost Senpai, have you?
"Mrs. Nagasaki, I'm sorry." Togawa Sakiko's pretty face was taut, declaring her ownership with her actions. "Kitahara-kun is very tired today, so we'll be taking our leave now."
"Ah, I apologize for disturbing you." Mrs. Nagasaki's expression was composed, and she smiled, "Then Kitahara-kun, please go back and rest. Give me your answer once you've thought about it."
"..."
Togawa Sakiko bit her lower lip, holding Kitahara Makoto, and turned to leave.
"Togawa-san, listen to me..."
Kitahara Makoto lowered his voice.
"Let's talk outside."
Togawa Sakiko's pretty face was taut, surrounded by a low-pressure aura.
The two quickly walked out of the beauty center.
"Phew..."
Togawa Sakiko exhaled softly, released Kitahara Makoto's arm, and said, biting her lower lip:
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now."
Kitahara Makoto said softly:
"Togawa-san must have misunderstood just now…"
Togawa Sakiko raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, clearly not believing that what she had just heard was a misunderstanding. Her pearly teeth bit her lip: "Kitahara-kun, don't be so impulsive. Your will should be stronger… Once some things are done wrong, you can never go back."
Hey, hey, what do you mean by impulsive?
Rest assured, I definitely won't agree to be taken care of!
Kitahara Makoto couldn't help but retort:
"High school students are the most prone to impulsiveness. It's hard to hold on with willpower alone, right?"
"Then you have a weak will…"
Togawa Sakiko wanted to retort, but suddenly remembered a saying.
Prevention is better than cure.
(High school students are indeed the most prone to impulsiveness. If I want Kitahara-kun not to fall into the traps of those Mrs. Nagasaki, just telling him is definitely not enough, unless… unless I satisfy him in advance…)
Togawa Sakiko's mind suddenly flashed with the Otherworld manga she had read before, and she involuntarily substituted herself and Kitahara Makoto into it. Her pretty face instantly flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her heartbeat skipped a beat.
(No, don't let your imagination run wild! Stop it now!!!)
"Why is your face suddenly red?"
Looking at Togawa-san's pretty face suddenly turning red, Kitahara Makoto asked curiously.
"It's nothing…" Togawa Sakiko quickly turned her pretty face away, so ashamed that she wanted to run away immediately, "I'll go back first…"
(Even though we're not dating, I'm actually thinking about that kind of thing… This is terrible!)
"Wait." Kitahara Makoto grabbed Togawa-san's right hand, not wanting to let the misunderstanding accumulate until tomorrow, "I haven't explained it clearly yet. Mrs. Nagasaki actually wants to do business with us…"
"Eh?" Togawa Sakiko raised her eyes in surprise, "Does Mrs. Nagasaki really work at the beauty center? She just wanted to cooperate with us just now?"
Kitahara Makoto said seriously:
"You can't lie about this kind of thing. You can find out with a simple question. Besides, she even gave me a business card."
Seeing the business card, Togawa Sakiko finally believed that she had misunderstood just now.
"I'm sorry…"
Togawa Sakiko apologized shamefully.
Kitahara Makoto thought for a moment and said:
"You have to show sincerity when you apologize."
"Eh?"
"I'm hungry. Togawa-san, please treat me to ramen, okay?"
"…"
Night rain drizzles.
The air is still humid, but the stuffiness has dissipated a lot.
Kitahara Makoto and Togawa Sakiko held umbrellas and looked for a ramen restaurant along the street.
"By the way, Togawa-san said before that she wanted to move. How is it going now? Have you found a house yet?"
Kitahara Makoto asked casually.
Togawa Sakiko raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly:
"I've already contacted an agent. I saw a house I was quite satisfied with yesterday. The location is good, but the rent is a bit low…"
It was indeed hard for the father and daughter to squeeze into a small thirty-four square meter house. Now that she has money, of course she wants to improve her living conditions.
Kitahara Makoto asked curiously:
"Isn't it a good thing if the rent is low?"
"It's thirty percent lower than the average rent in the surrounding area." Togawa Sakiko pursed her pink lips, "So I'm a little concerned."
Kitahara Makoto understood and raised his eyebrows:
"A haunted house?"
"I asked the agent." Togawa Sakiko said softly, "He said it's not a haunted house, but there are occasionally strange noises in the house, so the previous tenants didn't live there for long."
Kitahara Makoto pondered:
"How about changing to another house?"
"That house has a full set of furniture, and there's also a very nice piano, so I want to live there for a while and see, and…" Togawa Sakiko looked up, "And Kitahara-kun is here."
"I understand." Kitahara Makoto said seriously, "Tell me as soon as possible if you encounter any special circumstances."
"Thank you, Kitahara-kun." Togawa Sakiko pursed her pink lips and looked up, "…Can I borrow the answer book for a while?"
