The Underworld, Starting with Debt

Shiina Chizuru was taken aback, her beautiful crimson eyes sparkling. She was Natsumi Murasaki, one of the many girls with an ambiguous relationship with Ito Koshitomo.

She gazed intently at Natsume Murasaki.

Long purple hair, scarlet eyes, and...

She glanced down at her ample bosom, noting that it was exceptional even among her peers, and couldn't help but purse her pink lips.

Shiina Chizuru glanced up at Murasaki Natsume's ample bosom and sighed inwardly; they were not in the same league.

'However, my shape is better!'

Yuanyuan's are very perky.

After silently encouraging herself, Shiina Chizuru pondered for a moment, and a shy smile appeared on her round, pretty face.

"Murasaki-kun..."

"Just call me Xia Ye~"

"Well, Natsume-san, hello, I'm Shiina Chizuru, and I'm also...

She gritted her teeth, and two blushes appeared on her charming smile.

"She's also Zhi-kun's girlfriend..."

"..."

Natsumi Murasaki's smile froze on her face, twitching slightly, even though she had long known that Ito Koshitoshi was a womanizer and maintained ambiguous relationships with multiple girls.

But she was clearly the first one to confess to Ito Koshito and become his girlfriend; she was the real girlfriend!

Now, a mistress has actually emerged to compete with her for the title of the legitimate wife!

It was obviously me first!

Natsumi Murasaki turned to look at Ito Kozue, who was sitting in a chair, looking up at the blue sky, seemingly lost in thought.

The bright sunshine reflected off his hazy profile, while the dappled sunlight cast shadows on his handsome face.

However, the glass window clearly showed his darting eyes to Natsume Murasaki.

Ito Koshitoshi is feeling very guilty right now.

Murasaki Natsumi's eyes gradually deepened. She bent down, gently pressing her soft body against his, and whispered in his ear, her cherry lips parting slightly, her breath sweet as orchids:

"Zhi Jun, come with me."

Her voice was gentle, carrying a faint fragrance of a young girl, yet it sent a chill down Ito Koshito's spine.

When she got angry, Natsumi Murasaki ignored the fact that class was about to start and dragged Ito Kozue out of the classroom.

Shiina Chizuru, caught up in the euphoria of Ito Kozue's lack of rebuttal, was in a daze.

After one class period, the two returned to the classroom.

Both of them were breathing steadily, but one's face was a little red and the other's hair had become sticky and matted together.

Perhaps it was because the summer heat in June was too intense...

......

......

Time flies, and lunch break is here again.

As soon as the bell rang, Kyoko Tsukishima called out to Koshitomo Itō and Chizuru Shiina.

"Ito-san, Shiina-san, come to the chairman's office now. The chairman wants to see you."

......

Midday is a time of laziness.

In the corridor, the bright sunlight intertwined and shone on the window cabinets, and the neat shadows receded one by one as the two walked forward.

Shiina Chizuru turned her head to look at Ito Koshito beside her, feeling a warm glow in her heart. After hesitating for a long time, she gently touched the large hand that was so close to hers with her small hand, then shrank back like a frightened little animal.

Suddenly, a large hand forcefully rushed over and grabbed the small hand that was trying to escape, their fingers intertwined.

Looking up at Ito Etsu's back as he continued walking forward without turning around, Shiina Chizuru's lips curled into a sweet smile.

The midday sun is indeed languid, intoxicating, and very relaxing.

It wasn't until they arrived at the chairman's office that Ito Koshitomo released Shiina Chizuru's hand.

"bang bang"

A gentle knock came at the door, and a mature female voice answered.

"Please come in."

Upon entering the office, Chairperson Naoko Daimon rested her chin on her hands, her frameless glasses radiating a subtle sense of pressure in the sunlight.

"Please take a seat."

"Thank you." ×2

After the two were seated, Naoko Daimon casually recounted the events of the previous day.

“…That’s how it is.”

In short, Taimura embezzled school funds for his own selfish reasons and was unable to repay them. When he tried to frame Tsukino, Shiina Chizuru caught him in the act, which led to the series of events that followed.

“Taicun confessed yesterday, and the case has been handed over to the court for judgment. He has also been dismissed from his post.”

"Hmm, money and power really make a difference. The police station, which is usually so slow and indecisive, has already produced results so quickly." Ito Koshito nodded thoughtfully.

"Shiina, I am deeply sorry for the fright you suffered."

"Ah, it's alright, it's alright, Chairman. Thanks to Zhijun, I wasn't hurt at all."

Faced with Naoko Daimon's sudden apology, Chizuru Shiina hurriedly stood up and waved her hand.

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Naoko Daimon continued:

"Both of you are excellent students. There are a few scholarships available for outstanding students at the end of the semester. You can try to apply for them."

Naoko Daimon was implying something.

'This must be what they call hush money.'

Ito Koshitoshi thought to himself.

"Gentlemen, this was a mistake on the part of the school, which admitted such a scumbag. However, he has already been dealt with, so I hope you can keep this a secret."

"I understand." ×2

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

They stood up, bowed slightly, and walked out of the chairman's office.

Only after getting a little away from the office did Shiina Chizuru strike up a conversation with Ito Koshitomo.

"Hmph, I guessed yesterday that it was Taimura who framed Tsukino-sensei, and I was right."

"Hehe~ Chizuru is really amazing."

"No."

Although her goal was to receive praise from Ito Koshitomo, when praised, Shiina Chizuru lowered her head like a shy kitten.

Ito Koshi chuckled and shook his head, reaching out to gently stroke the girl's pert nose, then affectionately kneading her soft hair as he spoke in a gentle tone.

"Chizuru is so cute. But Chizuru, you should go eat first. I plan to go back and clean the chairman's office."

"Cleaning the office?"

"Well, I guess you could call it working while studying."

"Oh, then I'll be going now, Zhi-kun."

Shiina Chizuru waved to Ito Koshitomo and left.

"Bye-Bye."

......

When Ito Koshitoshi took out his cleaning tools from next door and came to the office door, just as he was about to knock and go in, a quarrel suddenly broke out inside.

"Are you still my mother?!"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar; it seemed to belong to the chairman's son, Daimon Ryūmō. At that moment, his voice was fierce, irritable, and exasperated.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

The chairman's voice trembled, and a hint of anger seemed to be squeezed out.

"How could I not know! Do you know that my friends laugh at me when I go out to have fun?"

"Mom, please give me some pocket money."

Imagine how agonizing it must have been for someone living a life of poverty for several days straight, without any pocket money.

"Look at the state you've become! You're unambitious, all you do is eat, drink, and have fun, and you're always fooling around. When will you ever improve yourself?"

"Mom, please give me some pocket money."

"Hey—go find your dad."

The sigh was long and drawn out, filled with helplessness.

"Mom, as you know, Dad is very angry after the last fight, and he's the one who suspended my card."

"Don't I get angry?!"

"Mom, please."

"That's enough. Spending a little less money won't kill you. Look at that student named Ito Koshito who works in my office. He's poor too, but he's doing just fine on his own."

"What business is it of an outsider to do with our family's affairs, Mom? Have you taken a fancy to that pretty boy?"

The gatekeeper roared, seemingly very angry, but...

For some reason, Ito Koshito sensed something unusual in his tone, a hint of anticipation in it.

"Snapped"
