He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

Shirakawa awoke from his deep sleep with thick dark circles around his eyes, looking listless and as if he had been hollowed out.

He stretched lazily and yawned.

Beside her was Miike Naoko, her belly already full, her hair loose, fast asleep on the bed.

Shirakawa pulled the blanket over her, covered her up, tiptoed out of the room, and gently closed the door.

Strictly speaking, he only slept for 3 hours last night.

My head feels dizzy and foggy, and my lower back is also aching slightly.

Shirakawa's head was slightly red and swollen from being squeezed, and his skin was chafed raw, making it very uncomfortable to wear clothes.

What a strong primary school.

The calories and energy he burned last night far exceeded the total amount of his workouts over the past few days.

Shirakawa rubbed his eyes, finished washing up, and went to the kitchen to cook.

Aunt Meidu brought some ingredients yesterday morning, but they weren't all used up. Bai Chuan used a little of it, fried two eggs, toasted some bread slices, added some bacon and chicken leg meat, and finally rinsed some rice to cook some white rice porridge.

In the original world, Shirakawa lived alone and was forced to learn cooking and housework skills, otherwise he couldn't even afford to eat. Ordering takeout from a certain food delivery platform would cost tens of dollars, making his already impoverished life even worse.

The meal was ready, and Shirakawa brought the steaming hot food to the table. Compared to Aunt Mito's meal, it was indeed much more meager.

After quickly finishing his portion, Shirakawa found a sticky note.

This breakfast also includes a portion of Michi Miko.

After all, she was the one who came to her rescue yesterday afternoon, and then Shirakawa destroyed her virginity last night.

We should at least take care of her.

Damn it, since I transmigrated here, all I've done is have sex first and then love. Nikaido and Miike are both examples of this.

...Let me leave a message instead.

"Officer Miike, this is breakfast prepared for you. Hope you'll be full of energy for work tomorrow!"

Hmm, that's not good, it feels a bit too cute.

Shirakawa crumpled the sticky note into a ball and threw it in the trash can to rewrite it.

"Breakfast is on the table. Keep working hard and don't worry about what others think."

Hmm~ This time it felt alright, and my concern was conveyed.

Shirakawa placed a sticky note in a conspicuous spot on the table, packed his things, put on his regular clothes, and set off for his part-time job.

?????

Xing Gongxi sat in the extended van, gazing out the window, clutching her pocket watch tightly in her hand, while the sword dagger was placed on the seat next to her.

The driver was an elderly man with a mustache. His hair and beard were gradually turning white, indicating his advanced age. His eyes were squinting, yet exceptionally sharp.

"Miss, where did you go yesterday? Your mother... Miss Li Hui is very worried about you."

"Where I go is none of her business. Now I am the head of the family, and I can go wherever I want."

The old butler sighed.

He was quite old; he had been working at the Star Palace residence since he was in his twenties, taking care of generation after generation of the head of the household.

The current head of the family, Xing Gongxi, although still young, is the most ruthless and merciless in his actions. He had to discuss with the board of directors many times before reaching an agreement to send her to Yingli High School to experience life among the poor and temper her mind.

It seems the results have been minimal.

At the entrance of the Star Palace, the Star Palace character, holding a designer card holder and wearing high heels, paced anxiously back and forth.

Her demeanor had lost its previous shrewdness and sharpness, like that of a snake; all that remained was a mother's concern for her daughter.

Seeing Hoshimiya Shio in the back seat of Shirakawa from afar, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The old butler drove his car to the side, and the automatic rear window slowly rolled down.

"Xixi... oh no, Master, you're finally back!" Hoshimiya Rie said excitedly, unable to hide her joy.

"Pretending, butler, who told you to stop? I want to go home."

"Master, I think you should at least give them a heads-up..."

"I'm tired, I want to go home."

Xing Gongxi's attitude towards the old housekeeper was relatively good; if it were anyone else, she would have already thrown a tantrum.

"Ok."

The old butler drove away, and the iron automatic gate of the Hoshimiya family mansion slowly opened.

The old butler drove along a cement road. On one side of the road was a scenic garden, and on the other side was a wild forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The landscape garden features flowerbeds, lawns, saplings, rockeries, fountains, and streams, all arranged in a harmonious and beautiful manner.

But there were no tourists, at most a few female gardeners pruning the trees with large shears and wiping the dust off the boulders with rags from time to time.

When they saw Xing Gongxi return by car, they all bowed in unison.

Xing Gongxi was used to it and ignored it, staring straight ahead.

After driving for a while, through the woods and bushes, the Hoshimiya family mansion came into view in the distance.

It can't really be called a mansion; it's more like a European-style castle made of reinforced concrete, magnificent and luxurious.

Maids were already waiting at the castle gate. After the car stopped, they stepped forward with their heads down. One opened the car door, while the other held an umbrella to shield her from the sun and protected Xing Gongxi's head with the other, and helped her out.

Upon reaching the entrance, the two pushed open the door, revealing a magnificent hall.

The hall has a soaring and magnificent ceiling, with ancient and precious paintings hanging on the walls, exquisitely carved wooden furniture, and luxurious chandeliers.

A single small decorative item could be exchanged for enough to ensure a person's financial security for half a lifetime.

Two rows of uniformed maids stood in neat rows, bowing and shouting in unison.

"Welcome home, Master."

Each maid was carefully selected and is very beautiful; any one of them could be a little idol.

"Go back to work, everyone."

"Yes, Master." The maids all left in unison.

Xing Gongxi went upstairs, only to find a black-haired girl of the same age as her standing in her work room on the second floor.

She wasn't wearing a maid outfit.

Hoshimiya Shio frowned slightly. The old butler arrived late from downstairs and, seeing the two meet, quickly explained, "This is Hoshimiya Rin, the girl we arranged to protect you at the school."

Hoshimiya Shio's sudden disappearance greatly worried the old butler and Rie, so they assigned Hoshimiya Rin as her personal bodyguard to protect the girl.

"She's also from the Hoshimiya family?"

Logically speaking, the pride of the Hoshimiya family would prevent them from serving others, not even the head of the family.

"No, during the time when Rie Hoshimiya was in charge, her parents went bankrupt in their business and owed the Hoshimiya family a large sum of money. So they mortgaged her, who was only a few years old, to the Hoshimiya family. After years of training, she has become a loyal bodyguard of the Hoshimiya family."

"Where are her parents?"

"They have already absconded with the money, and their whereabouts are unknown."

"Can I trust him?" Hoshiguchi Shio sized up the girl in front of her.

He has short black hair, sharp and determined eyes, a surprisingly muscular but not muscular physique, and clean and tidy clothes, giving him a tomboyish vibe.

"I will never forget the kindness shown to me by the Hoshimiya family. I will certainly fulfill my duty and protect the head of the family."

"You've certainly said some nice things." Hoshiguchi Shio pushed open the door and entered her workroom.

A swivel upholstered armchair, paired with an antique and exquisite large desk, paintings hanging on the wall, and a gold-threaded carpet on the floor.

Hoshimiya Shio sat back in her swivel chair, with Hoshimiya Rin standing beside her, expressionless, like a robot.

“Old butler,” Hoshiguchi Xi fiddled with the pocket watch in her hand, her gaze sweeping over the old butler as she slowly spoke, “Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do? Even if I order you to, you won’t do it?”

"No, Miss, I will certainly do my best to carry out your orders."

"I see." Hoshimiya Shio looked at Rin. "Your name is Rin, right? Do you have a knife on you?"

"Yes, parents." Hoshimiya Rin rolled up her trouser leg, revealing a delicate gold-threaded knife tied to her ankle, and respectfully handed it to Shio.

After catching it, Xing Gongxi tossed it to the old butler.

“Stab me with this knife, butler.”

"I'm sorry, Miss, I cannot comply with this request." The butler bowed slightly, refusing her request.

“Okay, now what?” Hoshiguchi Shio flashed the pocket watch in her hand and began to hypnotize the butler, “Stab me with this knife, butler.”

“Miss…” The old butler looked at her with the same kind of loving gaze he had for his daughter, “Did you go crazy from watching hypnosis shows?”

Hmm? It didn't work?

Hoshimiya Shio then turned her attention to Rin, attempting to hypnotize her with a pocket watch.

"Stab me with this knife, quick."

“I’m sorry, Master, I cannot do this.”

What? Is it out of power?
