Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 173 They're all making fragrant money from smelly places.

At Uta Kasyapa's house, Fukie went to her personal armory and retrieved her mini crossbow. After many piloting sessions, the Black Ship had already learned to wear the armor, which was Fukie's cockpit.

Before setting off, Xiao Hei nuzzled Xiao Fujang with its head and lifted its chin so she could scratch its itch.

After satisfying its needs, once Xiao Fujiang officially entered the cockpit, Xiao Heihao nimbly went to the yard, jumped onto the yard wall, and leaped onto the street.

"Hey, Little Black, going to pick up your master again?"

Matsushima Yuko, returning from her stroll, saw the nimble little black cat walking on the wall and greeted it with a smile.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hei squatted down and barked happily at her before getting up and setting off again.

Watching Kuro's departing figure, Matsushima Yuko felt slightly puzzled.

Was there something waving at me from the front of Xiao Hei's chest just now?

On the wall, Xiao Fujiang thought thoughtfully that it was time for Grandma to have her health checked. She should tell Jiaye when he returned.

While pondering, Xiao Hei nimbly led Xiao Fujiang through the streets and alleys.

At the traffic light intersection, Xiao Hei sat obediently by the roadside, waiting for the red light to pass.

Passersby cast surprised glances at the black cat that seemed to know traffic rules, and a few bolder women even squatted down to pet the little black cat's head.

It either tilts its head to avoid you, or raises its paw to press you down.

"Meow~"

With a call, Little Black quickly crossed the zebra crossing with tiny, quick steps. A street photographer noticed the unusually intelligent Little Black.

I picked up my camera to take a picture, but then I noticed that Xiao Hei quickened its pace and nimbly hid at the feet of passersby.

"Holy crap, this cat."

Xiao Hei doesn't care what others think. It now understands that it can't let Xiao Fujiang be exposed to ordinary people, so apart from the family, no one can pet it anymore.

Upon arriving at the commercial street where Jia Yezi Bookstore is located, the Inoue family bodyguards disguised as shop assistants noticed Xiao Hei's figure at the entrance.

He reported the matter through his headset. When Masamiko, who was making coffee, heard the report, she raised her wrist and glanced at the time.

"Is it already this late?"

After making the coffee, she pressed the bell to have her subordinates deliver it to the designated customer. Masamiko then went to the table in front of Yoshino.

"Manager, it's time to go home. Xiao Hei is here to pick you up."

"Eh?"

Jia Yezi, who was engrossed in reading the comic, looked up at Zhen Shuizi with some confusion.

How did you know that Kuro had already arrived?

Just as she was feeling confused, a scream suddenly came from downstairs.

"That's it, that's it, it's incredibly spiritual, let me tell you!"

"Little Black~"

"Meow~"

"Little Black, I bought some books today. Can you do a backflip for me?"

In the cockpit, Xiao Fujiang was speechless upon hearing this.

You bought a few tattered books and expect Xiao Hei to perform a backflip?
Before she could finish her internal monologue, Xiao Fujiang saw the long string of receipts in the woman's hand and quickly poked Xiao Hei's chest.

Turn it over, turn it over right now!
Upon receiving the order, Xiao Hei nimbly performed a backflip, then meowed and trotted upstairs.

Behind me, there was a chorus of "wows" from the customers.

"Wow~!"

At the stairwell, Jia Yezi, having heard the noise downstairs, arrived at the door early. Seeing Xiao Hei jump up from below, Jia Yezi happily hugged it in her arms.

"Thank you, Xiao Hei~"

"Thank you, Xiao Fujiang~" she whispered.

After receiving Jia Yezi's thanks, Xiao Fujiang nodded reservedly, glancing at Zhen Shuizi and the other shop assistants who were watching from a distance but hadn't come over.

"Let's go home."

"Uh-huh!"

At the bookstore entrance, across the street, Miyagawa Hayashi, who was directing his subordinates, glanced at Kayanoko as she walked out of the door, prompted by one of them. "Miss Kayanoko, are you off work? Is this your cat?"

"Okay, goodbye Mr. Miyagawa, Kuro, say goodbye to Mr. Miyagawa~"

"Meow~~"

The little black dog, held in his arms, waved to Miyagawa. Miyagawa Hayashi was taken aback at first, then laughed happily.

"Goodbye, Miss Jia Yezi! Goodbye, Little Black!"

Standing at the door, Miyagawa Hayashi watched Kayoko's figure disappear at the street corner before turning to look at his subordinate.

"Hurry up, hurry up! We need to open for business by tomorrow at the latest!"

"Hi!"

In response to his subordinate's reply, Miyagawa Shoshu shook his head, took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but after thinking about it, he put it out instead.

Young Master Kasyapa doesn't smoke much, so I guess Jia Yezi doesn't like it either.
Give it up.

Miyagawa Hayashi casually stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket and looked towards the door.

Looking at the armored humanoid figure at the doorway, which appeared somewhat fierce and menacing, Miyagawa Hayashi frowned slightly.

It looks a bit menacing, right in front of the bookstore. It would be troublesome if it scared Jia Yezi.

The image of the woman in the mourning hall, clearly terrified but forcing herself to cry out her grievances, flashed through his mind, and Miyagawa Hayashi let out a sigh of relief.

"Who brought this thing over?"

"What's wrong, boss? This has always been the headquarters' logo."

"Change it! From now on, change the logo for our headquarters to..."

As he pondered, a child walked past him with a Doraemon comic book in his hand.

"Change it to that blue fat cat!"

"Huh? That doesn't fit our Aotegu group."

"I said I'd change it, so I'll change it. Why are you making so many excuses?"

"But, but we're a yakuza gang. If others find out, they'll look down on us."

"Huh? You look down on us? Ask any other club in Osaka, who dares to look down on us?"

Miyagawa Sayo grumbled unhappily, then said irritably.

"If you want to be respected, you need to have the strongest fists. Right now, our Blue Hand Group has the strongest fists. Who dares to say anything nonsense?"

"Looking down on them? Anyone who dares to utter a sound next time, just bring your people to their place and have a go. Do I need to teach you how to do it? A bunch of idiots!"

"Yes, I got it, boss!"

"By the way, how have you been taking care of the Matsukawa family lately?"

"It's good. Most of them are now working as screwdrivers. The women are mostly doing odd jobs, but some men and women couldn't stand the poverty and went to sex shops."

"Huh? There are men too?"

Miyagawa Hayashi looked at his younger brother in disbelief.

"Become a gigolo?!"

Upon hearing this, the younger brother shook his head, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.

"Being a male prostitute requires skill; those people don't have that ability. They're just using their smelly places to make fragrant money!"

The younger brother's slang startled Miyagawa Shoshu at first, then he spoke with a look of disgust.

"How disgusting, a grown man doing this kind of thing!"

Shaking his head, Miyagawa Sayo looked at Mamizuko across from him. The two, who had been formally received by Inoue Nosuke's secretary the previous night, nodded to each other and then went their separate ways.

On the way back, Jia Yezi passed by a snack shop and went in to buy some snacks for Xiao Fujiang and Fujiang, which she put into her small bag.

"These are all our favorite foods. Why did you put them in your special snack backpack?"

"Okay, then, whenever you're craving something sweet, I can give it to you~"

"."

She's a simple-minded, somewhat naive girl, which is good.
