Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

"Can't you just wait for me to come home?"

"Can you even eat the food I cook? In the end, it's all thrown away, a waste of ingredients."

Stepping into the house, I changed into slippers in the entryway and saw a beautiful woman in front of me, dressed in a plain white dress with long hair draped over her shoulders, proudly standing with her hands on her hips.

Hoshino Jun was speechless for a moment.

"When did not being able to cook become a symbol of pride?"

She's almost thirty years old, and still a girl; the food she cooks is either burnt or mushy.

Because of her, Jun Hoshino started learning to cook when she was in elementary school. In less than a week, her cooking skills surpassed those of Mei Asu.

Since then, the kitchen in the house has been used by Jun Hoshino.

Hoshino Jun once suspected that Mei Asahi kept him by her side because she wanted to find a chef to help her manage her life.

wrong!

Not just a cook, but also a laundry worker, a sweeper, and a garbage collector.

"How will you live without me?"

Hoshino Jun raised her hand and ruffled the hair on Asu Mei's head.

It evokes the feeling of an old father worrying about his daughter.

"You've rebelled! You raised me, and now you want to abandon me, huh?"

Mei stood on tiptoe, trying to reach back, and Junya Hoshino followed suit.

1.8 meters tall versus 1.62 meters tall, Mei is completely defeated tomorrow.

Then I started to get angry.

"Quickly bend down so I can touch it back."

"No."

Hoshino Jun decisively refused, tossed her bag onto the sofa, and then carried the large and small bags of groceries from the table into the kitchen.

Mei caught up with him, her delicate white feet, clad only in slippers, lightly kicking Jun Hoshino's shin, and scolding him:

"Rebel!"

"I'll kick you to death!"

Taking the opportunity, Hoshino Jun turned around and touched the top of her head again.

"Stop fooling around, go play somewhere else, be good!"

"What kind of tone is that!" Mei shouted angrily. "So what if you're a little taller? What's so arrogant about that?"

"Kids, get out of here! The adults need to cook."

"You unfilial son!" Mei Asahi was furious. She pounced on Hoshino Jun, hugged his waist, and started biting his back.

While munching on it, she muttered, "It's just a mere Jun-chan, how dare it disrespect Mom! I'll bite you to death."

"Don't try to take advantage of me!"

“This mere auntie, who is not related to me by blood, dares to impersonate my mother. Take this beating!”

Hoshino Jun was initially enjoying her hug, but upon hearing this, she lost her composure, grabbed Asahi Mei, and pushed her out of the kitchen, then quickly closed the kitchen door.

"Bam—!"

The moment the kitchen door closed, Mei Asuka's expression changed abruptly, and she was no longer angry at all.

"really weird."

"Isn't it said that modern men like to act like sons and call their girlfriends 'Mom' when they're being intimate?"

"Why does Jun-chan look a little angry?"

This afternoon while at work, Mei saw a magazine article on the supermarket counter. The cover said that in recent years, the trend of teenage dating has begun to lean towards older women.

This topic caught Mei Asuka's attention, so she started to slack off at work and squatted by the container to study it for a while.

The magazine described many case studies, detailing how older women can enhance their charm.

One example is that young people in island nations today are so lacking in love that girls tend to call their fathers "dad" and boys "mom."

"Is it my problem, or the magazine's problem?"

Unable to figure out why, Asu Mei stopped dwelling on the matter. She quietly left home and headed to apartment 403 next door to find Takayanagi Yuuki.

Mei Asahi still felt that there was something strange about Hoshino Jun coming out of Takayanagi Yuuki's house.

She left very quietly.

But Hoshino Jun still noticed it.

Even though the door was closed and he was still using his phone, Hoshino Junya still heard the faint sound of Asu Mei quietly opening the door.

"Is the improved hearing due to a slight increase in physical strength?"

It should be.

Otherwise, there's nothing else that can explain it.

"However, even if I didn't hear it, Auntie is destined to be unable to do anything to me today."

Hoshino Jun's phone screen showed his conversation with Takayanagi Yuuki. The moment he kicked Asu Mei out, he immediately took out his phone to contact Takayanagi Yuuki.

Tell Yuuki Takayanagi that Mei will most likely come to question her tomorrow.

Furthermore, to prevent Yuki Takayanagi from letting something slip, Jun Hoshino specifically taught her how to explain it to Mei Asu.

Ignoring Mei Asahi's nonsense, she insisted that it was Jun Hoshino who helped her unclog the sewer.

There is nothing else.

"Ding dong!"

Suddenly, her phone showed a message from someone else on LINE to Hoshino Jun.

Looking at the message recall screen, it's Kato Nana, the girlfriend of Takasaki Yuu, with whom he had many intimate moments today.

"Hoshino-san, are you there?"

"Are you there?" is the starting move, destined to be the Joker.

But Hoshino Jun is a good person, and he didn't want someone else's lovely girlfriend to become a clown, so he replied to the message.

"Ah."

It's a word that seems rather cold.

But in reality, Hoshino Jun carefully considered Kato Nana's personality before replying in this way.

"Is there anyone else with you?" Kato Nana asked.

"Tell me something."

"Hoshino-kun, you're being a bit fierce."

Hoshino Jun plans to be even more aggressive.

The next second, a selfie taken by the front-facing camera came into view.

In the photo, Kato Nana's face is slightly flushed, and her eyes look pitiful, as if she has suffered a great injustice. Her slender figure is only wearing underwear printed with Cardcaptor Sakura's image.

The underwear is not only large, but also lightweight; you can tell with the naked eye that it's not padded.

Her legs were snow-white, plump and firm, and her small, delicate feet were as cute as bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Her ten crystal-clear, round toes were painted with red nail polish, like thumb pouches.

Those who are content and enjoy life would probably want to hold it and try it out if they saw it.

"Are you satisfied?"

Following the photos were text from Nana Kato.

She said, "Hoshino-kun, please don't be so fierce next time."

A woman who says one thing and means another.

If I weren't a bit fierce, it would be a miracle if you sent me a photo.

After a moment's thought, Hoshino Jun saved the photos in the photo album software, then locked the software and placed it at the bottom of a hidden folder.

After doing all this, delete the photos from the chat history.

Just in case Mei might accidentally see this while playing on Hoshino Jun's phone tomorrow.

Didn't I tell you to send me the photos at 11 o'clock?

"Huh?" Kato Nana seemed a little surprised: "Didn't Hoshino-san say it had to be posted before 11 o'clock?"

It's not even six o'clock yet.

Is it a little too early, at 11 o'clock?

Moreover, Hoshino Jun only asked Kato Nana to be a little sexier, but Kato Nana actually only wore underwear for the shoot.

"Has Takasaki Yusuke seen this kind of photo of yours?"

“No,” Kato Nana replied, “Yusuke, he would never bully me.”

Tsk tsk.

Yusuke won't bully you, so that's why you immediately take private photos and send them to the fierce Hoshino Jun as soon as you get home from school?

Hoshino Jun suddenly found it amusing, and with a slight smile, he typed a reply to Kato Nana's message in a commanding tone.

"This one doesn't count. Remember to send a different one at 11 o'clock sharp."

"You decide on the appropriate measure."

A friend's book.

Purely for fun.

Chapter 38 Excellent Pet Raising Methods

After deleting all chat history with Nana Kato and Yuki Takayanagi, setting "Don't disturb me" for good news, Jun Hoshino casually placed her phone aside.
