Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 131, Life Talk

PS: Because I have the flu and need to see a doctor, there is only one update today, please forgive me.

Uesugi Sosetsu wanted to bring Saito Asuka to his side, not only to live with him, but also to provide him with a school.

He made a special call to the Otsuka Police Station in Bunkyo Ward and asked if Tanaka Rondo could recommend a high school as close as possible for Asuka to attend.

Tanaka Laodeng's answer was to ask him to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. Uesugi Muneyuki meant that he wanted to introduce a transfer through abnormal means, but the local branch did not have the power to do so, so if he wanted to do it, he could only go to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Wanting to help the girl transfer schools, Uesugi Sosetsu thought about it and found that he only had two groups of people he could ask for help. One was the main family of the Uesugi family. His grandfather Uesugi Kuninori was of noble blood and had served as a professor at the University of Tokyo for 30 years. His students and former officials were all over Kanto. His father relied on his grandfather's background to set up a cultural center and had a lot of connections.

But this was the first thing that Uesugi Muneyuki gave up. The reason was simple: his family would never allow such an underage girl to stay with him. This was not only a time bomb, but would also have unpredictable negative impacts on Uesugi Muneyuki's future and there was no stable and expected positive benefits.

Therefore, Uesugi Sosetsu could only choose the second option, which was to seek help from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Uesugi Sosetsu himself did not have a deep relationship with the Tokyo Medical and Dental University. At best, he only knew Dean Ukai and Professor Ohkouchi. Professor Ohkouchi was a man of integrity, simplicity and seriousness, and was unlikely to help him. Dean Ukai would definitely tell his family, so he was quickly ruled out. The only option left was the Metropolitan Police Department.

As we all know, the Metropolitan Police Department is a powerful department. Powerful departments refer to those government agencies that possess and use coercive force in accordance with the law to safeguard national security, social stability and the rights and interests of the people.

Such powerful departments deal with every corner of society and naturally have the resources of the entire society (this is why a large number of senior police officers can get very good jobs after retirement).

Following Tanaka Ryuto, Uesugi Sosetsu found Superintendent Higurashi. As the benefactor of his promotion, Superintendent Higurashi readily agreed and asked him whether he wanted Ochanomizu Girls' High School or Tsukuba University Affiliated High School?
At this point, the favor between Uesugi Sosetsu and Inspector Higurashi was settled.

After discussing the transfer, Uesugi Sosetsu decided to have a good talk with Saito Asuka, and he suggested going out for dinner to "talk while eating."

Saito Asuka responded in a low voice. The girl actually didn't want to go out, but she couldn't and didn't want to resist any suggestion from Uesugi Sosetsu, so she could only respond weakly and changed into the down jacket and sweater that Uesugi Sosetsu had just bought for her in the afternoon, and wore a double-layered black skirt with thick velvet white silk stockings and a pair of canvas shoes. She looked as cute as a winter elf.

As soon as the room was opened, the girl seemed to be stressed out and instinctively shrank behind Uesugi Sosetsu. She gently pulled the corner of his clothes to hide her body behind him, revealing her little face, and slowly moved forward.

Fortunately, the store that Uesugi Sosetsu took her to was not too far away, and it was only about 300 meters away on foot. Uesugi Sosetsu took the girl to find a corner and sat down and ordered two grilled eel rice set meals.

So expensive! Looking at a 2500 yen grilled eel set meal, the girl opened her mouth wide, and then a little anxiously said: "Mr. Uesugi, I don't need it, just order me a seaweed rice roll, I..."

"There is no kimbap here." Uesugi Sosetsu said calmly, "Besides, eating kimbap is not nutritious! It's just pure carbohydrates."

"That's enough..." Saito Asuka lowered her head and said with some shame: "I've already troubled you enough. How can I have the nerve to..."

"How can I be so embarrassed... Asuka, you must have eaten these a lot." Uesugi Sosetsu said with a smile.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Who knew that the girl was the type who couldn't take a joke at all. When she heard what Uesugi Sosetsu said, the girl got anxious. Her pair of white silk feet thumped and she knelt down in the store to apologize to Uesugi Sosetsu on the spot: "I... I really didn't mean it. I was too hungry. I didn't know. I..."

The girl's behavior made everyone in the store stare at him.

Kidnapper? Dad is alive? Old man and young wife? Lolita junior?
Uesugi Sosetsu's face turned red. He quickly stretched out his hands to pull the girl up and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? We are outside!"

The girl was pulled up by Uesugi Sosetsu and kept apologizing to him the whole time. She then apologized to everyone around her and said it was her own problem, which prevented the clerk from calling the police.

Sitting down again, Uesugi Sosetsu discovered that although Asuka had never been to this kind of restaurant, it was not the first time she had eaten this kind of set meal. He finally understood why Saito would pack up a portion every time he went out to eat.

"So, you've tried the Yakitori set meal at Matsu no Mi?" Uesugi Sosetsu asked with interest.

"I've eaten..." The girl lowered her head, her face so red that she didn't dare look at Sugi Sosetsu.

"Have you tried the full Japanese meal at Ichigaya Takasho-cho?"

"……have eaten."

"Ajiguan's premium sushi and sashimi platter?"

"……have eaten."

"What about the various Kansai grills at Hiroshima-style Kaboroya?"

“I have eaten it too.”

"Sure enough, you have also eaten the Michelin food of that Lasarte, right? Your sister was in a hurry to pack up all the food that day after eating only a few bites. I thought something happened to her." Uesugi Sosetsu understood.

"Well..." Speaking of her sister, the girl's eyes turned red again. She was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in her chest (but it should be very difficult). She whispered softly: "That day was my birthday..."

Birthday? !
Uesugi Sosetsu was stunned.

In fact, the date that day made him very unhappy. The other party found out that Uesugi Sosetsu had some money recently, so she said she wanted to eat at a Michelin restaurant. She begged him for a long time for this and even specified a date. Uesugi Sosetsu reluctantly agreed and they met that day. She said she was full and wanted to pack up after eating only a few bites. She also kept apologizing, saying she had something urgent to do and had to leave immediately, and asked if she could be quicker. This made Uesugi Sosetsu lose interest, and they finished the meal hastily before half of the hourly room time was up.

Afterwards, Uesugi Munen felt very annoyed, thinking that you took me for granted! After that, he planned to end the relationship. He agreed to meet her that day to discuss the issue of ending the relationship and repaying the money.

Turns out that day was Asuka's birthday?

He looked at the girl with a softer look: "Is it delicious?"

"...It's delicious." Tears welled up in the girl's eyes: "But... I'd rather not have eaten it..."

Uesugi Sosetsu sighed and did not continue the topic.

The two sat for a while, and two steaming eel rice sets were served. The girl looked at Uesugi Sosetsu hesitantly, and after getting multiple affirmations from the man, she carefully picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

"The school has already made the contact for you. It's the high school affiliated with the University of Tsukuba. As for the future, you can live with me first." Uesugi Munen said seriously: "I will support you until you graduate from high school. This is my promise and a little compensation."

"Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Uesugi!" Saito Asuka could no longer hold back her tears. She knew she couldn't refuse this offer, otherwise she would have nowhere else to go: "I really... thank you very much!" In fact, if possible, Uesugi Sosetsu wanted Asuka to finish college, but as mentioned earlier, Japanese universities are very expensive. Even the public university Akita University charges 58 yen a year in tuition, which he may not be able to afford.

上杉宗雪现在的薪水是东京医科齿科大的28*15万+警视厅现场顾问的15*12万再加上验尸的外快，扣掉税国民年金厚生年金公务员年金之后大约到手500万日元左右，要供女孩读大学目前来说有点吃力。

Let her finish high school first, Uesugi Sosetsu thought.

"Actually, it's okay for me to stop studying." Saito Asuka said weakly.

"No way!!!" Uesugi Sosetsu scolded almost instinctively: "This is an order, no room for negotiation!"

"Yes." The girl instinctively agreed in panic: "I will study and I will try my best, Mr. Uesugi!"

“…………Okay, don’t think too much.” Seeing her soft, tender, cute, scared, and submissive appearance, Uesugi Munen felt like melting his heart. He immediately put away his stern attitude and whispered, “I didn’t let you stay here for nothing, and I didn’t pay for it for nothing.”

"Huh?!" Uesugi Sosetsu's words stunned the girl. Her mouth opened wide, and her delicate and innocent little face showed a look of surprise and cuteness.

"I mean, if I let you live here, you have to help me a little. Asuka, can you cook?" Uesugi Munen didn't give the girl a chance to think further: "Since you're living here, I need you to help me clean the room, wash clothes and cook, just like a housekeeper. I really need a housekeeper. I'm very busy at work and often don't go home. I need someone to help me. I really need your help. Are you willing to help me?"

"I do!" The girl nodded vigorously, her whole body shaking with excitement.

What she feared most was becoming a burden to Mr. Uesugi. What she feared most was making Mr. Uesugi feel a burden. Apart from the man in front of her, there was no one else in the girl's world who was trustworthy and reliable!
She no longer had the strength to take another blow.

Uesugi Muneyuki's words "I really need your help" hit the girl's heart!

It can even be said that she has found the meaning of existence again!
"Very good!" Uesugi Sosetsu clapped his hands with a smile, "Housekeepers are very expensive nowadays. Even temporary housekeepers who work part-time can cost hundreds of thousands a month. So, Asuka, your accommodation, food, and tuition fees will all be included in your housekeeper salary. I will be responsible for going out to work, and you will be responsible for cleaning up the house. I will be responsible for other expenses, and I will also give you 30,000 pocket money every month. How about it?"

"Thirty thousand... that's too much." The girl said quickly, shaking her head vigorously: "Too much!"

"Just 30,000, I can't afford more." Uesugi Munen made the decision for her: "Then, is it settled?"

The girl's powerful ability to read the air and observe people's words and expressions came in handy again. She already understood why Uesugi Sosetsu wanted to talk about this matter specifically.

It is to give her self-esteem, give her a reason to stay, give her an excuse, and give her a last safe haven.

The face of the man in front of her began to blur unconsciously. She tried hard to wipe her eyes with her hands to see him clearly, but she couldn't wipe him clean. After a while, it became even more blurry...

She didn't know how many times she had cried since morning till now.

"I, I understand!" Saito Asuka choked up and agreed as her only option. She felt that the experiences of the day were like a dream.

If he hadn't appeared, I would have been doomed to fall into the abyss.

After the two finished eating a delicious eel set meal, Uesugi Sosetsu took Saito Asuka home. However, just as they opened the door, Saito Asuka motioned for Uesugi Sosetsu to wait a moment.

The girl solemnly reached out to take off her brand new canvas shoes, revealing a pair of soft and delicious white silk ice cream. She walked silently to the steps of the entrance. The thick velvet tights wrapped around her delicate and bony legs could not hide the girl's thinness and fragility. Her long black hair was quietly draped over her shoulders, long and straight, beautiful like an oil painting of a snowy winter day in Hokkaido.

The bulky winter clothes could not hide the girl's slender waist. Her delicate little face was glowing with a long-lost glow. Her slightly chubby profile was blocked by the light and shadow of the lamp. Asuka tried hard to straighten her chest to make her thin figure look more well-endowed. Her slender waist was almost broken, and her straight white silk calves were like two jade pillars, blending with the wall and the light and shadow, pure and beautiful.

The girl knelt down solemnly in front of Uesugi Sosetsu, her knees touching the ground, her thumbs, index fingers and middle fingers extended forward and pressed on the ground, her little face full of seriousness: "Mr. Uesugi, I hope you will give me your guidance in the future!"

"Me too. Please give me your guidance in the future." This time, Uesugi Munen did not refuse the girl's gift. He waited until she finished her greetings and then helped her up. "Okay, Saito housekeeper, I order you to rest today and do everything tomorrow."

"Puchi~" The girl chosen by God finally couldn't help laughing. She protested in a low voice: "You can't rest on the first day of work, Mr. Uesugi, please tell me what I should do first, okay? I, I can do it! I can do everything, cooking, washing dishes, laundry, cleaning, I, I will work hard!"

"Well, come with me and I'll teach you." Uesugi Munen suddenly asked, "How was your afternoon rest? Are you used to the new bed?"

As soon as these words came out, Saito Asuka's face turned red instantly, and the girl immediately remembered her experience in the afternoon.

She wanted to sleep, but that bitch wouldn't let her! She was screaming so loudly, was she afraid that I couldn't hear her?
And, he was still wearing a police uniform, so shameless!!!
Mr. Uesugi, is it the same when you are with your sister?

No wonder, my sister didn't feel any pain at all! She even seemed to be enjoying it...

The girl felt like her brain was short-circuiting when she thought about her experience in the afternoon.

"Asuka?" Uesugi Sosetsu turned around and found that the girl seemed to be distracted: "Isn't it better for you to take a day off first?"

"Mr. Uesugi, I...I wear pantyhose every day when I'm at home." The girl suddenly said something out of context, her tone a little panicky, but also a little serious: "I'm serious!"

“???” Several question marks popped up in Uesugi Sosetsu’s head.

How did she know what I like?
That's impossible! No one knows my secret except a very few people!

"Um... if you like this, I have no objection." Uesugi Sosetsu really couldn't bear to reject Saito Asuka's kindness, so he could only agree: "Can we continue?"

Afterwards, Uesugi Sosetsu took Saito Asuka to visit the entire tower apartment, refreshed the girl's three views, and then let the girl take a shower and go to bed, and he went back to his room to sleep.

What Uesugi Sosetsu didn't know was that Saito Asuka had not slept all night in her little room that night. She had been waiting, waiting full of contradictions, waiting all night with anticipation and fear, until four or five in the morning, when the girl fell into a drowsy sleep.

Just when she couldn't hold on any longer, Saito Asuka finally confirmed the last thing.

Mr. Uesugi, thank you...
