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

This studio is a large, independent indoor photography studio located in a bustling commercial area. It occupies approximately 100 square meters and is divided into many different cubicles that can be used simultaneously. It is fully equipped with photography equipment such as cameras and exposure lights, and also includes some uniforms for models.

Later there were more beautiful photos of models, including nurses, investigators, secretaries, married women in aprons, and even some cosplayers from anime and games. While the photos were very nice, the models weren't as charming as the girls and women Shirakawa knew. (No explicit photos)

It would probably be even better if it were filmed by Kana-san or Akita-sensei.

Shirakawa suddenly gained confidence that his studio would become a huge hit.

"I think this shop is pretty good, so why is the owner in such a hurry to transfer ownership?"

"According to the boss, it was probably because of the economic downturn that the client suddenly broke the contract, and the models also jumped ship to the sex industry. As a result, a large number of photo sets were released but no one bought them, which eventually led to the break of the capital chain and the inability to continue operating, so they were transferred."

"I see." Shirakawa nodded repeatedly as he listened, very satisfied; this shop met all his requirements.

Until he saw the final quote in the report.

2000w Neon Yen.

This greatly exceeded Shirakawa's expectations.

He won 1800 million yen in a bet with Suzuki, and Suzuki inquired about Hoshimiya and rewarded him with 300 million yen.

After giving it all away, I only had 100 million left.

This is going to drain you dry in no time.

"Aren't you satisfied with the price?"

"What do you think about setting up a photography studio like this at this price point?" Shirakawa asked Miike for his opinion.

He didn't know anything about prices in Japan.

"I think it's worth it. After all, it's the most luxurious section of the commercial street, it's easy to contact people, and there's no need for any extra renovations or maintenance. You can start working right away after buying it..."

"I trust your decision. Let's go through the transfer procedures tomorrow, and it will still be transferred to your name."

"it is good."

"Also," Shirakawa handed the Hoshimiya family's black gold card to Miike, "use this card to ask the Hoshimiya family for help, go through all the work processes such as contacting clients, producing drawings, and delivery. After that, this studio will be entirely in your hands. When the time is right, invite Akita-sensei and Aunt Mito to join us."

"Don't worry about that." Michi took it and put it in his pocket.

"Keep all the money you earn, and we'll talk about it when I need it."

"You'll give me all the money you earn?" Sanchi was somewhat flattered. "You've put all your wealth in my hands. Aren't you afraid I'll just run away with the money?"

Shirakawa trusted himself too much.

She trusted herself even more than she trusted herself.

"Hey, I'm Miike-nee's partner. You've run away, so I can't fight evil all by myself, can I?" Shirakawa joked.

“That’s not what I meant,” Miike said, her voice lowering slightly. “I meant, since we’re so close, when are we going to get married…?”

As they talked, Michi became deeply moved once again.

"Is marriage too early for me?"

"Not too early, not too early. If we don't get married, an engagement is fine too."

"I'm sorry, Miike-nee, I can't get married right now," Shirakawa also refused.

Having just finished a fierce battle with Nikaido and Sakura, Shirakawa is now struggling to accept the prospect of developing a close relationship with another girl.

“It’s alright,” Miike thought it was because Shirakawa cared about that group of girls, “After we get married, you can maintain your relationships with those girls, and I won’t interfere with your life…”

"Let's talk about this later," Shirakawa said. "I've been really stressed out lately because of these girls."

"It's all because you're a womanizer. Sigh, alright, alright." Michi also chose to give up.

After all, there is a significant age gap between the two of them, so it would be better for Shirakawa to marry someone of his own age.

I'll play the role of a supportive wife, quietly supporting him, and occasionally having secret trysts with him...

Pretty good too.

Unlike Miike's rosy vision for the future, Shirakawa was somewhat worried.

What is the ultimate fate of men who build harems?

Is it a fate sealed by a woodcutter's axe? Or will I be forced to choose one in the end? Or will I simply continue this ambiguous and unclear life...?

What should we do?

“I have an idea,” Cecilia, the spider clinging to my chest, suggested telepathically.

“You can marry all of them, have them all wear wedding dresses, and in a cathedral, with a priest as your witness, enter into a polygamous marriage, and then live happily ever after,” Cecilia said, half-jokingly and half-teasingly.

"Save your breath." Shirakawa gently patted her.

"Ouch, that hurts! I'm practically turned into a specimen!" Cecilia continued.

But amidst the joke, she sensed something was off.

Priest... Cathedral...

Secia muttered a few more words to himself.

These words sound so familiar... I always feel like these are things that are very important to me.

"Alright, we're here." Sanchi parked the car at the school gate.

"By the way, Shirakawa, let me remind you, you and Sakura didn't go home yesterday, and Maki was so worried that she didn't go to bed until very late. If you're going to meet her today, you'd better make sure you have a good excuse."

Miike knew Sakura's perverted nature and was certain that the two of them had gone to a hotel last night for a passionate encounter.

"Okay, I understand." Shirakawa got out of the car, closed the door, and left.

"Oh, right," Miike opened the car window, stuck his head out, and shouted at Shirakawa's retreating figure, "Be careful, you've been injured."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Shirakawa gave an OK sign again.

Only then did Miike close the car window and drive away with peace of mind.

She yawned lazily when the car was halfway there.

It's so strange, I've been feeling sleepy and needing to sleep a lot lately. I feel listless every day and like I can't get enough sleep.

The flat airport was occasionally punctuated by a strange pain.

They even have a poor appetite. They are very hungry when they wake up in the morning, but when they sit at the table and look at the pile of delicious breakfast in front of them, they suddenly lose their appetite.

Is it menopause? That can't be! I'm not even thirty yet, I'm in the prime of my life...

Oh well, maybe it's because I was too worried about Shirakawa's injury yesterday.

Miike slightly pressed the accelerator, increasing the car's speed, wanting to get back to the Shirakawa family home to rest as soon as possible.

Little did she know that a tiny life was quietly growing inside her.

221. The Vanishing Actress

Shirakawa arrived at the open space in front of the school's teaching building.

Just then, Jieqi posted the meeting point in the group chat. Bai Chuan glanced at the time; there was still more than half an hour before the official meeting time.

We arrived a bit too early.

I'll play on my phone for a bit and then.

Jackie happened to arrive just then and saw Little White with her back to her.

Hehe, let me play a little prank on him.

Jackie crept up behind Shirakawa, then suddenly lunged forward and crashed into him.

Charging someone with the ball.

Unexpectedly, just as Jackie succeeded, Shirakawa slightly shifted to the side.

Jackie missed her target.

He lost his balance for a moment and was about to fall forward.

"Watch out!" Shirakawa grabbed her wrist with one hand and put his other hand on her waist, pulling her back into his arms.

Jackie could smell the lingering scent of a masculine man after a battle emanating from Shirakawa.

This made Jackie's face turn red instantly, and she immediately jumped forward to create distance between herself and Shirakawa.

"How...how did you find me?" Jackie asked, pointing at Shirakawa with a flushed face.

The sneak attack from behind was perfect; there's no way Shirakawa could have noticed.

"Found what?" Shirakawa was also completely confused.

He seemed to have moved a step to the side as a reflex.

Then I saw Jackie suddenly appear beside me and almost fall to the ground.

"You... never mind, it's alright." Jackie didn't take it too seriously.

She intended to play a prank, but ended up getting herself into trouble and almost falling.
