After briefly understanding what had happened to him, Kitahara a sigh of relief.
After all, such terrifying and bizarre things happening to Kitahara would still cause fear and unease…
Furthermore, he still didn't know the conditions required to trigger a scene…
After all, he had just transmigrated and hadn't even fully explored the original body's social connections before being teleported to that eerie place…
Perhaps the original body had come into contact with something, which led to the demise of his soul, thus giving Kitahara his chance.
Thinking of this, Kitahara began to sift through the unfamiliar memories in his mind.
These memories naturally belonged to the owner of this body before he transmigrated.
The original body was named Kitahara Tei, an ordinary high school student at Shinosuke Middle School in Tokyo. His family was originally well-off, but after his parents both died in a car accident, coupled with the machinations of some ill-intentioned individuals, the company originally run by the Kitahara Family directly went bankrupt.
Afterward, Kitahara lived alone, and due to the enormous debt left by his parents, he eventually succumbed to the threats of those creditors. He had no choice but to borrow money from a yakuza organization to repay the debt, ultimately becoming an insignificant pawn for a very important figure within that yakuza organization.
Thinking of this, Kitahara sighed helplessly.
"What bad luck…"
However, fortunately, he now had the system. As long as he spent some time, he could pay off his debts, then leave the yakuza organization, and live a free and happy life all by himself.
Thinking of this, Kitahara couldn't help but look around.
In fact, when he first transmigrated here, Kitahara was shocked by the place he was now living in.
After all, it was simply too big. Even his own bedroom was as large as someone else's living room, and the room's decor and furniture had a sense of solemnity, grandeur, and classical style.
This was not actually his home.
Simply put, this was his girlfriend's home…
Yes, the important figure in the yakuza organization he mentioned was the sole offspring of the leader of Tokyo's largest yakuza organization—Tenshin—and also Tenshin's most important young lady—Sakura Longwen
And he was currently a pawn for Miss Sakura.
He was essentially a shield…
Because the Longwen Clan Patriarch kept urging the newly adult Miss Sakura to bear the next heir of the Longwen Family, so that the Longwen Family, which had been passed down from the Warring States period, could continue its legacy.
After all, Sakura clan needed a male from the Tenshou Family to inherit the clan, but this generation of the Tenshou from Main family had a female offspring. Moreover, the Tenshou Clan Head had been injured in a certain place during a fierce fight, losing his ability to procreate.
Miss Sakura naturally didn't want to marry and have children so early. She was a very ambitious girl, but she couldn't disobey her father.
So she found a pawn, declaring to her father that he was her boyfriend, trying to fool Takahiro Tenshou.
Of course, as the Tenshou Clan Head, he wasn't so easily fooled, but Sakura, as the most capable female offspring in the Tenshou clan's history, had actually already won over many high-ranking members of the Tenshou main Family. Through these connections, she barely managed to deceive Takahiro Tenshou.
As for how Kitahara became her pawn…
It was purely because Kitahara attended the same middle school as her. To repay his debt, he sought help from the only yakuza high-ranking member he knew, which was Miss Sakura.
And Miss Sakura also happened to need a shield at that time.
Kitahara was not a significant figure at Shinosuke Middle School; he was more like an insignificant student among many ordinary ones, with an ordinary identity and unremarkable presence.
So, having him as a shield was most suitable.
Thus, everything happened smoothly and naturally.
Of course, although he lived and ate at Sakura home, Kitahara actually had no monetary income…
After all, he already owed Sakura family a large sum of money, and furthermore, the two had barely spoken since their first meeting.
There was actually no affection between them.
Although Kitahara current status in the Tenshou Family was noble, only he knew the truth.
He had no money at all; he was still dirt poor.
Moreover, to avoid affecting Miss Sakura reputation at school, their relationship was only referred to as boyfriend and girlfriend within the Tenshou clan. Outside, they were strangers.
Although he became Miss Sakura pawn, Kitahara actually didn't resent Miss Sakura much. On the contrary, he was even somewhat grateful to her.
After all, after the Kitahara Family fell, those formerly very enthusiastic old friends of his father's, in order to avoid being implicated by the Kitahara Family, all expressed their distancing.
And Miss Sakura was the only one willing to offer Kitahara help.
Kitahara knew that this might be because the Tenshou clan feared no force, but to be able to offer help to Kitahara, who was already in despair at that time, he was naturally very grateful in his heart.
Furthermore, after becoming a pawn, Miss Sakura did not make any excessive demands; she only required him to be her shield until he paid off the money.
After all, Tenshin was not the usual kind of evil yakuza; it was actually more like an army supporting the Tenshou Family.
It was just declared as a yakuza organization to the outside world…
In reality, everyone with influence in Tokyo knew.
The Tenshou Family, that super Great Clans that had been powerful from the Warring States period until now, was more like one of the controllers in Tokyo, the kind that no one dared to provoke in both the underworld and the legitimate world.
And Tenshin, in front of the Tenshou Family, was merely an external tentacle. Perhaps only the Tenshou Family themselves knew how strong their power truly was.
So, the Tenshou naturally didn't care about the money lent to Kitahara. In this light, their willingness to help him at that time could be considered a kindness to Kitahara.
And perhaps with the protection of the Tenshou Family, those ruthless debt collectors never came looking for Kitahara again.
"Hmm… I still need to earn money myself. Staying at Miss Sakura house all the time, although comfortable, I'll have to leave one day…" Kitahara sighed.
After all, Miss Sakura would eventually find someone she liked, and he would definitely have to leave by then.
As for how to earn money…
Kitahara thoughts turned to becoming an Exorcist.
After all, this world was not as simple as it seemed.
In this world, supernatural events existed…
So he could completely use his power to exorcise spirits and collect money.
This would also allow him to gain skill points to strengthen himself, enabling him to better complete the second task of the scene.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
With this thought, Kitahara could no longer sleep.
Precisely because of his enhanced physique, he was now very energetic and not sleepy at all.
So he started going online to collect information about recent strange tales.
