Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 385 The Big Bad Wolf and the Little White Rabbit (Part 2)
The white riding outfit accentuated the woman's elegant figure.

The riding crop held in her hand gave the woman a cool and edgy vibe.

Ryukawa Tetsu had no idea that Takeda Maki was playing at the horse farm behind the hillside, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Don't you want to introduce me?"

The woman gave Ryukawa Tetsu a teasing look. The boy didn't react at this moment, but Matsue Moko hurriedly got up and greeted Takeda Maki.

"Excuse me, Miss Maki."

The girl was very polite, and the mountain breeze carried her sunshine and gentleness.

"I am Archer and Xiaoxi's classmate. Thank you so much for inviting me to your manor."

A gentle breeze swirled around the girl. As Matsuji Muko greeted Takeda Maki, the woman also curiously observed her.

Fresh white sneakers, a girlish pleated skirt.

The girl possessed a youthful charm that no one else could imitate, which piqued Takeda Maki's curiosity.

"you know me?"

Maki Takeda had actually met him once, at Kuonji Temple.

Under the gentle sunlight, the other person was holding Ryukawa Tetsu as if comforting him, but in fact, Matsue Moko had never met Takeda Maki.

"Ah, Akane said you look a lot like Miss Takako."

They look very alike, and the woman's demeanor is quite different from that of the wife.

“Quite clever.”

The woman smiled, holding the riding crop, then turned to look at Long Chuanche.

"Your boyfriend seems to have gone mad."

Long Chuanche stared blankly at everything, what he had thought would be a very difficult situation turned out to be quite...
serene?

Longchuan Che searched the dictionary and felt that this word was very suitable.

Maki Takeda was like a kind elder, while Matsue Moko was like an ordinary visiting classmate.

The two exchanged a few casual words upon meeting, and the scorching sunlight streaming down gave Tatsukawa a warm and cozy feeling of everyday life.

"Huh? Oh, it's okay."

Long Chuanche only snapped out of his daze when his girlfriend waved her small hand in front of him.

I wonder what the Executive Director is up to. Tatsukawa Tetsu introduced the two women to each other.

"This is Mu Zi, my classmate."

"This is."

Ryukawa Tetsu felt a little guilty looking at Takeda Maki's smiling face, but in the end he still called her "Auntie".

"Aunt?"

Maki Takeda supported her wrist with the hand holding the riding crop, and looked at Toru Ryukawa with a half-smile.

That expression seemed to say, "Yesterday you called me 'sister,' the day before yesterday you called me 'True Concubine,' and now you're calling me 'auntie.'"

"I seem to have too many titles."

The woman didn't say anything, but switched the riding crop in her hand.

"Want to come together?"

Behind the hillside is a huge horse farm. Equestrian activities are very popular in England, and Maki Takeda comes here to play when she's bored these days.

"Ask Archer."

Mu Zi gave the choice to her boyfriend.

"Ah~ Che~"

The woman trailed off as she looked at Long Chuanche, the boy unaware of her playful side.

"Let's go have some fun."

Ryukawa Toru coughed. He wasn't too keen on this kind of sport, but Matsue Moko would probably enjoy it.

"You seem a little nervous?"

Beyond the hillside lies the fenced-off horse ranch.

Here are patches of grass trampled over by galloping horses, and whips raised high.

Maki Takeda looked at Toru Ryukawa, who had been escorting his girlfriend into the changing room and then returning.

"Really? Where?"

Ryukawa Tetsu's eyes darted around, somewhat surprised by Takeda Maki's continued calm and composed demeanor.

"come over."

Takeda Maki sat down on the viewing platform at the horse farm and beckoned to Ryukawa Toru.

Her expression was cold and aloof, her demeanor frivolous.

She was nothing like the easy-going person she was with Songzhi Muzi just now.

"what?"

Long Chuanche swallowed hard.

The woman held up one finger, then held up a second one.

Longchuan Che approached before the other party could count to three.

"Teacher Longchuan was very well-behaved today."

Maki Takeda smiled and gently rubbed the unusually well-behaved Tatsukawa Toru, squinting slightly at the boy.

"how?"

Maki Takeda pinched and rubbed the boy's cheeks hard.

"Afraid I'll bully her?"

The executive officer's tone turned extremely dangerous as he rubbed Long Chuanche's face until it was distorted.

"How could someone as understanding as the Executive Vice Minister bully a little girl?"

A look of shock appeared on Long Chuanche's distorted face, and then he pulled the woman's small hand and placed it under the table.

His girlfriend was changing clothes not far away, while he was flirting with the executive director.

Even though Longchuan Che wasn't exactly timid, his heart was pounding louder than usual.

My throat was dry, and I kept a close eye on what was happening at the horse farm.

As Takeda Maki said, he was indeed a little nervous.

"Exit."

The woman shook off the man's hand and lay back on the rattan chair.

There are parasols and tables and chairs with tea set up on the viewing platform.

It's much more pleasant than the horse farm.

Takeda Maki watched as Matsue Moko, dressed in riding attire, waved to her and Ryukawa Tetsu from afar. Takeda Maki smiled and nodded to the energetic girl.

“Takako came to see me.”

Ryukawa Tetsu's attitude towards Matsue Moko was completely different from his attitude towards her. The big bad wolf in Ryukawa Tetsu's eyes said:

She said that for children who have experienced hardship, their first taste of sweetness in life is always different.

The pine branch appeared at a very clever juncture.

At that time, Tatsukawa Tetsu was not a writer, nor could he be considered an outstanding person.

She barged into the boy's life with a smile, then tore off a piece of gentle sunlight to serve as a curtain for him.

She would quietly protect the boy's self-esteem, and then pull him back when he wanted to give up and lie down in the mountains and lakes.

Takeda Maki's words startled Ryukawa Toru. He hadn't known he would be so nervous about a girl until today.

They were afraid of being discovered, afraid of being exposed.

He even naively wanted to tell her everything when the girl said that as long as he didn't lie to her, it would be fine.

But that's actually wrong.

Or rather, he was wrong when he realized that Songzhi Muzi treated him differently.

The girl won't forgive him for telling the truth so easily.

If you don't lie to me, it will ultimately just be a beautiful fairy tale.

"Thank you."

Tatsukawa Tetsuya leaned back.

At this crucial juncture when he was on the verge of becoming an international author, the Executive Director made a certain compromise.

Choosing to ignore the existence of Songzhi Muzi, and even getting along well with her.

"Of course you should thank me."

Maki Takeda rolled her eyes. This was already the umpteenth time she had violated her principles for Tatsukawa Tetsu.

"Feelings are like a pool of mud; once you're caught in it, you can't stay clear-headed."

Takeda Maki glanced at Tatsukawa Toru, who was staring at Matsue Moko, and then at the lithe girl over there.

There are no absolute winners in the game of love. She is, Tatsukawa Tetsu is, and even Matsue Moko is.

"correct."

Takeda Maki patted the riding crop in her hand and smiled at Tatsukawa Toru, whom she had let off the hook.

"I took your girlfriend horseback riding, didn't you say anything in return?"

What kind of gesture do you want?

Takeda Maki shook her riding whip at Ryukawa Toru.

"I want to ride a horse tonight too."

A female rider in equestrian attire; the high-end clothing highlights her glamorous temperament.

Long Chuanche looked at the woman's ambiguous smile and the corner of her lips licking.

He still thinks the Big Bad Wolf is the Big Bad Wolf.
But the little white rabbit.
It feels like I've become myself again!
