Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

'Of course, we should obey the orders of such a bad person.'

'Otherwise, what if he gets angry and bullies me again?'

Poor, weak, and helpless Nana had no choice but to obediently follow the orders of the domineering Hoshino.

"Minister, I have something to attend to and need to go ahead of time."

Kato Nana forcibly suppressed the almost uncontrollable smile that was creeping onto her face, and then asked the head of the tea ceremony club for permission to leave early.

"Sure, it's already this late, Nana-chan, you should head back now."

The head of the tea ceremony club was also a good person and did not intend to stop Kato Nana.

"Thank you, Minister."

After a polite bow of thanks, Kato Nana slung her backpack over her shoulder and jogged toward the school gate.

Hoshino-kun is too fierce. I have to hurry up and get there, or I'll definitely be punished again.

As evening fell, the crimson glow deepened, bathing the distant mountains in a vibrant red, as if enveloped in an amber halo—a breathtaking sight.

A gentle breeze caressed the girl's cheeks, carrying the fragrance of flowers, and carried her joyful heart far away.

She could already see Hoshino's back.

Why am I suddenly feeling nervous?

"du~du~"

Just as Kato Nana was about to reach Hoshino Jun, Hoshino sent her another message.

"Stop walking, walk slowly, and don't get too close to me."

Al?

Why?

Why can't Nana get close to Hoshino-kun?

Kato Nana was full of questions, but since it was Hoshino's order, she obediently did as she was told.

I slowed down and followed behind Hoshino Jun, keeping a certain distance.

After walking a short distance, Kato Nana couldn't help but send a LINE message asking, "Hoshino-kun, what's wrong?"

Hoshino Jun replied: "Don't ask, look back, there's a ghost behind you, you should panic and be afraid."

"Is there a ghost behind Nana?"

In fact, Kato Nana is a materialist; she doesn't believe in ghosts or gods at all.

So she wondered, could Hoshino be a superstitious person?

No way, Hoshino-kun always seems fearless, how could she possibly be a superstitious person who's afraid of ghosts and spirits?

Most likely, it's an invitation for Nana to cosplay.

Thinking of this, the girl's lips curled up, her eyebrows arched slightly, and the air around her seemed much lighter.

Her happiness didn't last long, because the girl suddenly remembered that, according to Hoshino's instructions, she should be afraid and panicked now.

So Kato Nana tried her best to look flustered, glanced behind her, then immediately turned around, bent over, and took small, quick steps to squeeze into the crowd in front.

'That should be pretty much what it looks like to see a ghost.'

'I wonder if Hoshino-kun is satisfied with Nana's performance.'

Seeing the girl obediently complete everything he had arranged from a short distance away, Hoshino Jun unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled gently. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his handsome appearance stunned many girls around him.

Kato Nana also saw Hoshino Jun's smile, and after a moment of stunned silence, her face flushed slightly.

She couldn't resist any longer and wanted to go to Hoshino Jun's side immediately to ask him if he wanted to tease her a little.

But Hoshino Jun seemed to have seen through all her plans. Just as Kato Nana had the idea of ​​going to find him, another message came through on LINE.

"Run! The ghost is chasing you. I'll defeat the ghost and then come find you."

"Huh?" Kato Nana pouted slightly, then continued to do as Hoshino-san instructed.

Is Hoshino-kun playing some kind of game where a hero saves a princess from a demon king?

Boys are so immature.

Okay, to avoid being tortured by Hoshino-kun, I'd better just run obediently.

The rosy clouds are moving towards the western mountains, no longer obscuring the enormous setting sun, allowing golden sunlight to pour down on Tokyo.

Because the road from the school to the school gate is an upward slope, Hoshino Jun, who is at the school gate, can clearly see what is happening below.

For example, Gao Liucheng resorted to his old tricks again.

"Click," "click," he snapped photos of Hoshino Junichi indiscriminately, triggering his debts several times in a row.

【Ding! 】

[Multiple malicious filming attempts and information leaks originating from Gaoliucheng have been detected!]

Choosing not to pursue the matter will result in three instances of acquiring a C-level debt of affection.

Why would they investigate?

Takasaki-kun has already gone to investigate Shiro-kun.

Then we won't need Hoshino Jun, who knows nothing.

[It has been determined that Gao Liucheng is unable to repay this debt of gratitude, and the debt has been automatically transferred to his mother, "Gao Liu Youxi".]

Cheng Jun is such a filial son. Aunt Yu Xi had just finished paying off her debts, and he has already added five more debts to her list.

Hoshino Jun raised her hand to shield her eyes from the setting sun, watching Takasaki Yusuke walk step by step toward Takayanagi Castle.

Then, with a sudden punch to Takayanagi Shiro, who was completely unaware of him, Hoshino Jun left satisfied.

Hoshino Jun could probably guess what would happen next.

So he didn't linger any longer and waited for someone to come looking for him.

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk."

"Takasaki-kun, thank you for doing me such a big favor before you left."

The Yamada Foundation, along with two allied groups, established high schools in every ward of Tokyo, but only one in each area.

If it was Yamada Tsukasa who helped with the transfer, it would most likely be to another school under the conglomerate.

Therefore, it will be difficult to see Yusuke Takasaki again in different areas in the future.

He will register for boarding school there and start a new life there.

Losing a hardworking ATM is truly a great regret in life.

"."

"Ah!" Takayanagi Shiro screamed, clutching his swollen, red face from the punch and glaring angrily at Takasaki Yusuke: "Baka, are you crazy?!"

Although he had a big fight with Yusuke Takasaki the day before yesterday, Takayanagi Shiro never thought of beating up Yusuke Takasaki.

He never expected that Yusuke Takasaki would come and beat him up.

"Damn bastard, I'm not crazy, I'm going to beat you up today."

Yusuke Takasaki, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, became extremely agitated and snatched Takayanagi's phone away.

Then I opened the photo album and found that all the recent photos I took were of Nana Kato.

That jerk! Last time, because he secretly filmed Nana, I helped him, which sowed the seeds for my falling out with Nana.

Who knew that when I came to handle the transfer procedures today, I saw him secretly taking pictures of Nana again.

This is intolerable! Do you really think I have no temper?

"You damned paparazzi, I'm going to send you to the police station today!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Takayanagi knew that Takasaki Yusuke had misunderstood.

He wanted to explain, but Takasaki Yusuke beat him to it and answered what he wanted to say.

"Heh, last time you said you were filming Hoshino Jun and accidentally filmed Nana. Are you going to use the same excuse to fool me again this time?"

“Look at Hoshino Jun in the photo, she’s so blurry you can barely see her.”

"Do you think I'm that easy to fool, you idiot!"

This time, Takasaki Yusuke witnessed it with his own eyes. When he saw Kato Nana, he thought that Nana would leave with Hoshino Jun.

It turns out that this didn't happen at all; Hoshino Jun was actually quite far away.

On the contrary, it was Takayanagi Shiro, who had ulterior motives, who followed Nana and filmed her all the way.

Before he leaves, he must be punished.

Chapter 81 Return to School

The crimson sunset slowly descended into the western mountains, and the setting sun slept with it, as the vast metropolis of Tokyo entered the final moment of day and night transition.

Girls with bright smiles chased and played on the street, their pleated skirts fluttering in the wind.

The island nation has a custom that can be described as both good and bad: girls love skirts and will mostly choose to wear them regardless of whether it's cold or hot.

As for why?

Hoshino Jun didn't specifically look into it; he was just observing.

Silently watching the pleated skirts rushing by on the street, my gaze lingered on their smooth, fair legs.

Her delicate skin seemed so fragile that it could be pierced with just a gentle touch of a finger.

Kato Nana gripped the backpack on her back with both hands, her face still warm from running.

She stood under the last rays of the setting sun, a gentle breeze ruffling her shoulder-length curly hair, and suddenly gave off the feeling that even a little girl could be a goddess.

Unfortunately, he lost his composure the moment he saw Hoshino Jun.

"Hoshino-san."

Stand at attention, head up, chest out, and sway slightly.
