The Underworld, Starting with Debt

Sakura Mai stared wide-eyed at the stranger who had suddenly appeared, looking at him blankly.

'A man, a man, a man... a real man! I want to, I want to, I want to know him better!'

Chapter 128 Mianmian

'What a tall and imposing man!'

Her emerald green eyes couldn't help but shimmer with infatuated hearts, and on Sakura Mai's pretty face, two flushed cheeks intertwined in a passionate embrace.

For the first time, Mai Sakura felt an urge to overcome her introverted personality and take the initiative to get to know Ito Koshitomo.

"Are you OK?"

Ito Koshitoshi looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him who was panting heavily, and asked her a question.

Sakura Mai gazed at the man before her with infatuation, her luscious pink lips parted slightly, releasing a captivating fragrance as alluring as a poppy.

"I......"

"You are... Ms. Sakura! Are you alright?"

Beside her, Liliana recognized the girl who had almost been assaulted by thugs as the daughter of the manager of the convenience store where she worked.

She came to Sakura Mai's side with concern, and gently comforted her by holding her small hand.

"I, I'm fine."

The courage that had been stirred within him vanished instantly with the wind, turning into nothingness in the night, interrupted by Liliana.

Sakura Mai lowered her head slightly, the blush on her cheeks spreading to the tips of her ears. The emotion she felt changed from excitement to shyness. She murmured softly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"Thank you, thank you for saving me..."

She gently raised her head and met Ito Kozue's gaze. Like a startled fawn, Sakura Mai quickly lowered her head again, her face turning even redder.

Seeing Sakura Mai's expression, Liliana pursed her lips slightly. Sakura Mai looked just like she did when Ito Koshi stopped her. A young girl in love is always full of feelings.

However, now is not the time to think about these issues.

"Miss Sakura, let us take you home. Be careful next time! Don't walk on such secluded roads late at night, especially in alleys like this!"

"I still need to go to the store to check the doors and windows..."

"We'll go with you."

Ito Koshito interrupted.

"really?"

The soft voice suddenly rose in volume.

Realizing she was getting a little excited, Sakura Mai lowered her head like a fawn.

"Oh, it's okay, we're not far from home."

"You? Miss Liliana and..."

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ito Koshitomo. Hello."

He extended his hand to Sakura Mai, and Ito Koshitomo said his name.

"My name is Sakura Mai, nice to meet you!"

Seeing the large hand outstretched in front of her, Sakura Mai hurriedly grabbed his large hand.

'His hands are so big and warm. If only he could touch my head, my lips, my waist, my legs... oh~'

Just a simple handshake made Sakura Mai feel hot all over, her thoughts soaring to the heavens, her mind filled with the image of Ito Koshitoshi's tall and mighty body warming her.

"Ah."

With a smile, Ito Koshino tugged at her hand, trying to pull it back, but Sakura Mai gripped it tightly.

"Haha, Ms. Sakura, let's go to the store together."

Suddenly, Liliana appeared between the two, forcibly releasing their hands, and looked at Sakura Mai with a smile, speaking calmly.

"Okay, okay."

Sakura Mai awkwardly withdrew her hand, her cheeks flushed red, like a shrimp that had just rolled out of a steamer.

......

"Ms. Sakura, what did you want to ask me just now?"

"Miss Liliana, are you and Mr. Ito a couple?"

"us......"

"Mr. Zhi is my boyfriend!"

A warm, soft little hand had somehow slipped into his hand, and Ito Koshito stared blankly at Liliana.

Under the moonlight, her long silver hair fluttered in the wind, radiating a dreamy glow. Her azure eyes blinked nervously, and her dark skin was flushed with a subtle rosy hue.

From Itō Koshitomo's perspective, Liliana was like a goddess under the moon, making everything around her pale in comparison.

Staring at the tightly clasped hands, Sakura Mai felt a pang of disappointment, but...

A strange feeling began to stir within her again, like that of "My Friend's Husband" or "My Best Friend's Betrayal"...

Liliana, I've decided to be your friend!

Ten minutes later, Ito and Kozue took Sakura Mai to a convenience store and then drove her home.

Thank you so much for today, goodbye!

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Mai Sakura, Ito Koshitomo and Liliana embarked on their journey home together.

"..."

Even at night, the sweltering heat of June is unbearable.

The two walked side by side down the street, which was empty and quiet, with only the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs and the lingering fragrance of their breaths.

"Liliana."

Ito Koshitomo's words came through.

Liliana stopped in her tracks, her body trembling.

"Got home."

"Ah."

See you tomorrow, Liliana.

With a smile and a wave goodbye, Ito Koshitomo returned to his rented room as if nothing had happened.

Turning her face away, Liliana turned to the side and waved goodbye to Ito Koshitoshi.

"Click"

Back home, Liliana leaned weakly against the cold iron door and slid down to the floor.

"Thump, thump..."

My mood was like that of someone frantically working on a test as it was about to end—nervous and sweating.

“Mr. Zhi…”

......

......

Leaning against the windowsill, gazing at the clear sky, I felt that the cicadas' chirping was particularly noisy today.

Kyoko Tsukishima turned her head slightly, her gaze particularly chilling.

The sweltering heat of June seemed to turn into a biting cold under her gaze.

"Ito-kun, you're daydreaming again. Come to the guidance room later!"

"what?"

He was slightly taken aback; he had only glanced outside a few times before Tsukishima Kyoko caught him.

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Did you hear me?!"

"Yes!"

"Ring ring ring——"

The school bell rang out exceptionally clearly. Amidst the gloating glances of the surrounding classmates, Ito Koshito followed behind Tsukishima Kyoko into the instruction room.

"Click."

"Lock the door."

Sitting in a chair, Kyoko Tsukishima crossed her legs, her thin black stockings shimmering with an alluring sheen.

Ito Koshichi grinned and tried to move closer, but his gleaming high heels forced him back step by step.

"Ah Zhi, tell me. Why did you skip class?"

"Uh, something urgent came up yesterday afternoon, so..."

"What's up?."

Kyoko Tsukishima abruptly interrupted him, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

"I went to work."

"So, which part-time jobs take up students' class time?"

"Kyoko, it's true. I've already signed a contract with them."

Ito Koshito kept lying without changing his expression.

"If you don't believe me, I can call my boss and ask her to verify it for me. By the way, my boss's name is Huang Liuhua. You can search for her online; you should be able to find some information about her."
