Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 172 Gift
Once everything was ready, the newly renovated Yufujia Bookstore quietly opened for business.

If it weren't for the pile of red wreaths at the entrance, no one would know that the owner of this place has changed.

The dense array of wreaths at the entrance made Miyagawa Hayashi, who had ordered his underlings to bring the wreaths to express his congratulations, feel anxious.

"This belongs to the Inoue family, we can't touch it. This belongs to Superintendent Tomorrow, we can't touch it either. This belongs to Chief Matsuda, we can't touch it either!"

Painfully grabbing a handful of hair, Miyagawa Hayashisa was racking his brains trying to figure out where to place his wreath.

"Boss, how about this?"

Following the direction his younger brother pointed out, Miyagawa Shoshu carefully examined the signature.

"Sanae Nishikawa, Michiko Higashino? I don't recognize them, but this is the one!"

He ordered his men to move the wreath to an inconspicuous location, and Miyagawa Hayashi nodded with satisfaction as he looked at his wreath. Then he gestured behind him.

"Come on in, let's all go in and have a look, soak up the literary atmosphere!"

jingle.

"welcome."

Amidst gentle greetings, Miyagawa Shoshu and his companions entered the bookstore, greeted by the staff.

"Boss, that waitress has a great figure! I really like her!"

Snapped!
He turned around and slapped his underling hard on the head, then pointed at him and whispered.

"If you dare cause me any trouble at Yufu Bookstore, I'll fucking kill you first!"

After making a threatening remark, Miyagawa Hayashi saw the customers around him casting glances at them and quickly put his hands up to his head and bowed in apology.

"Wow, this is so spacious! And wow, this light fixture is from Endo Lighting!"

Amid his younger brother's exclamation, Miyagawa Hayashi looked at the mini spotlight on the bookshelf. To be honest, it was quite nice-looking; even a rough person like him thought it had a lot of style.

Behind the bar, Mamizuko, who was preparing drinks for the customers, noticed Miyagawa Hayashi and his group.

The Inoue family's internal documents had already clearly indicated Miyagawa Shoshu's affiliation with the organization, so Mazuko made no unusual moves.

If an unknown yakuza member walks in here and speaks rudely or tries to cause trouble, the police will arrive immediately to teach them a lesson.

Then, with the cooperation of the Inoue family, they will try their best to make them disappear from Osaka.

Jia Yezi sat quietly in her designated spot, with the latest issue of Yu Yu Hakusho manga in front of her. She took a mung bean cake from the plate and put it in her mouth.

On the table, a photo of a family of four sitting in a row under the eaves is displayed, with the child happily hugging Kasyapa's arm and leaning on his shoulder.

Fujang bent down to tickle the little black dog with its chin tilted back. Little Fujang stood in front of Jiaye and happily spread her arms to make a "Y" sign.

A smile played on her lips as Jia Yezi enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.

I am happy, Jia Yezi thought sincerely.

"Miss Jia Yezi?"

A soft greeting came from in front of her. Jia Yezi looked up in confusion and saw Miyagawa Shoshu with a kind smile on his face.

"Mr. Miyagawa, greetings~ What brings you here?"

Seeing that Jia Yezi recognized him, Miyagawa Shoshu smiled happily and touched his slicked-back hair.

"I heard you opened a bookstore, so I thought I'd drop by and see if I was bothering you."

Jia Yezi shook her head.

"No, just mung bean cake, want some?"

Seeing Jia Yezi pick up the plate and hand over the mung bean cake, Miyagawa Shoshu was taken aback at first, then quickly stepped forward and carefully took a piece and put it in his mouth.

"It's so sweet~" "Yeah, isn't it?"

Miyagawa Hayashi ate the mung bean cake in his hand in small bites, and looking at the smile on Jia Yezi's face, he also smiled sincerely.

If my younger sister were still alive, she would probably be about the same age as her.
With a sigh in his heart, Miyagawa Hayashi carefully took out a long white box from his pocket.

"This is a small gift for you. See if you like it."

With some trepidation, Miyagawa Hayashi carefully placed the gift on the table in front of Kayoko, much like a teacher waiting for the teacher to speak.

Gift?

Eh?
Jia Yezi blinked in confusion, then looked warily at Miyagawa Hayashi across from her.

"Mr. Miyagawa, why are you giving me a gift?"

Jia Yezi did not accept it immediately; in fact, she was somewhat wary.

After experiencing a gift with ill intentions, Jia Yezi is now very wary of gifts from strangers, especially men.

Miyagawa Shoshu noticed her wariness and quickly explained.

"It's just a small gift to celebrate the opening of Miss Jia Yezi's new store; it's not expensive."

One person thought the other had ill intentions, while the other thought the other had taken their gift as a bribe.

The two people, who were completely out of sync, were momentarily at a loss for words. Fortunately, Mamizuko noticed the situation and walked over to Kayako, whispering in her ear the meaning behind Miyagawa Sayasu's gift.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Miyagawa~"

Receiving a gift is always a happy thing. After confirming that the gift didn't have the meaning she expected and was simply meant for her, Jia Yezi happily accepted it.

Upon opening the box and seeing the exquisite wallet inside, Jia Yezi happily took it in her hand.

Harry Winston looked at Miyagawa Shoshu with some surprise. This luxury brand's leather goods were not cheap, let alone the latest trendy styles.

Is it that you're projecting Miss Jia Yezi's image onto the role of her younger sister who died young?
Knowing Miyagawa Sho's family background well, Mazuko looked at Miyagawa Sho with a gratified expression, and watched him silently leave after confirming that Kayoko really liked the wallet, seemingly lost in thought.

On the first floor of the bookstore, Miyagawa Hayashi found his subordinate pretending to be cultured and chatting with several female customers.

Snapped!
"Can't you see they don't want to talk to you? I told you to read more books, you can't even strike up a conversation properly."

After reprimanding his subordinates, Miyagawa Hayashi looked at the female customers with a forced smile.

"I'm sorry to disturb you. Please feel free to browse. The books here are all very good, and there are drinks for sale upstairs."

"Oh, by the way, you can get a 20% discount at our Aotoku-gumi's chain karaoke bars and pubs by showing your book purchase receipt!"

After a friendly greeting to several surprised female customers, Miyagawa Sayo led his underlings out of the bookstore.

"Boss, are we going on patrol next?"

"Patrol your grandpa!"

Miyagawa Sayo cursed at his underling without turning his head, then looked thoughtfully at the seven-story building across from the bookstore.

The younger brother dared not speak. Recalling how his eldest brother treated Miss Jia Yezi with the same care he would show his younger sister, and adhering to the principle of "like father, like son," he warily scrutinized every male customer who entered the bookstore.

For a man, the most taboo thing is someone else dating his sister or daughter.

We can't let those brats get together with the boss's sister.
Wait, something's not right?

It seems the eldest brother's sister already has someone pursuing her, it's probably Young Master Kasyapa.
"Come on, let's go ask them across the street."

"oh oh!"

Lost in thought, the younger brother jogged after Miyagawa Shoshu at his call.
