My roommate turns out to be the heiress of a triad!

After getting off the bus, Ryoichi Sugawara and Yukiko Higuchi did not immediately transfer to the tram.

The two found a spot to sit and rest inside the 711-Eleven convenience store in front of the station.

After what happened on the bus, Yukiko Higuchi is now very emotionally unstable.

Even now, sitting in the shop, she is still sobbing and wiping away tears from time to time.

Ryoichi Sugawara didn't have a very good way to comfort him either.

All I could do was buy a few packs of tissues and two bottles of Pocari Sweat from the store, and after opening them, I kept handing tissues to Yukiko Higuchi.

The commotion drew strange glances from several shop assistants every now and then.

Although Sugawara Ryoichi did not know the specific details, he could guess some things from the behavior and conversations of Higuchi Yukiko and Murakami Momono.

Yukiko Higuchi, a blonde hottie in Class 1-A of Kitasakano High School, forms a small clique with her two best friends.

They should be thankful they don't bully others.

Who would have thought she had such an experience?

But upon closer inspection, something doesn't seem quite right.

Yukiko Higuchi originally came from the junior high school.

Although it is unknown when her affair with Murakami Momono occurred.

But other students who also came from junior high school should know about this as well.

So only students like Ryoichi Sugawara, who transferred from another school, don't know?

Yuji Setagaya, you didn't even tell me about this.

She's really tight-lipped.

Ryoichi Sugawara's mind wandered, while his hands mechanically pulled out a tissue and handed it to Yukiko Higuchi.

When they came to their senses, they found that Yukiko Higuchi was still sobbing.

We can't just let her keep crying like this.

That's one way of putting it.

What good ideas could Sugawara Ryoichi possibly have?

If he knew how to charm girls, he wouldn't have been single for forty years across all his past and present lives.

For a moment, a battle of wits began to rage within him.

Even though you've never had a girlfriend, you have brothers. Comfort Yukiko Higuchi the same way you would comfort your brothers.

【you mean?】

[Give them things that your best buddies crave but can never have; they'll definitely be happy.]

Could it be that you're referring to...?

【uh-huh.】

[Those mysterious booklets and links featuring beautiful older sisters and cute younger sisters?]

[Idiot! Showing these things to girls is sexual harassment, isn't it? Do you want to go to jail?]

Ultimately, Sugawara Ryoichi's idea failed in the battle, and he still couldn't come up with a good solution.

Seeing Higuchi Yukiko crying her eyes out, Sugawara Ryoichi's anger towards Murakami Momono grew stronger and stronger.

It's unbelievable that such a tiny girl would dare to lead the bullying of others, even bullying Higuchi Yukiko, who is a whole head taller than her.

You really can't judge a book by its cover.

I wonder if her physical strength is directly proportional to her courage.

"I should have given that little-nosed Momono Murakami another kick."

Ryoichi Sugawara silently handed Yukiko Higuchi a tissue. His soft murmur reached her ears, causing her to suddenly stop sobbing. Her pretty face, now smeared with tears, looked blankly at Ryoichi Sugawara.

She took the tissue from his hand with her slender, jade-like hand, unfolded it, and gently blew her slightly red nose.

Then crumple the tissue in your hand into a ball and throw it under the pile of tissues on the table in front of you.

"You've already elbowed her. If you kick her too, she might die."

Higuchi Yukiko sobbed as she responded to Sugawara Ryoichi in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Then don't worry about it."

With my size 42 foot, I'm sure I'll leave a black shoe print on her chest.

"Forget everything else, just kick it out first."

As he spoke, Sugawara Ryoichi even twisted his waist, causing the tall swivel stool under his buttocks to kick into the air to one side.

Her comical appearance made Yukiko Higuchi unable to suppress a smile.

"What's that?"

······

After that, the two of them sat in the 711-Eleven convenience store for a while.

During this time, Sugawara Ryoichi kept talking to Higuchi Yukiko, which improved her mood somewhat.

Because her makeup was ruined by crying, and she hadn't brought her bag with her when she left school at noon.

Yukiko Higuchi can only remove her makeup inside the store.

Following Yukiko Higuchi's instructions, Ryoichi Sugawara found makeup remover wipes on the store shelf and asked the clerk for directions to the restroom while paying.

After returning to his seat, he took Yukiko Higuchi to the restroom, handed her a makeup remover wipe, and then waited outside the restroom.

To be honest, Sugawara Ryoichi was naturally curious about the past between her and that Murakami Momono.

However, considering Yukiko Higuchi's current state of mind, it's not advisable to evoke that painful memory again.

Ryoichi Sugawara did not ask her directly.

Perhaps we can contact Yuji Setagaya again to learn more about this matter.

But my main goal now is to go to Mayu Kujo's house.

It was 1:47 PM, and the sun was shining brightly outside the convenience store.

This line is ten minutes slower than the fastest line, but the advantage is that you only need to transfer to one tram here.

This was also the main reason why Ryoichi Sugawara and Yukiko Higuchi chose this route before leaving school.

It takes more than an hour by tram from here to Kujo Mayu's house, and we won't get there until around 3 p.m.

Once we arrive, we'll buy some souvenirs first.

After buying it, I went straight to Kujo Mayu's store.

But how can I tell Kujo Mayu's parents after I get there?

[Physical discomfort] is clearly just an excuse used by Kujo Mao and the others to prevent Kujo Mayu from going to school.

I can't just say it directly.

【Let's visit Kujo Mayu】, and then let Kujo Mao take you to see Kujo Mayu.

Just as Sugawara Ryoichi was pondering possible topics, Higuchi Yukiko, having removed her makeup, emerged from the restroom.

"Yo."

Lifting the bathroom curtain, a blonde girl stood before him, her hands behind her back, greeting him softly, her movements somewhat awkward and hesitant.

This was the first time she had shown herself like this to a man since she learned how to do makeup.

Especially someone of the opposite sex that you care about.

Since she was only wearing light makeup.

Apart from her eyes, Yukiko Higuchi looked almost the same after removing her makeup.

Her facial features are well-defined and her skin is fair and supple.

Its appearance is also extremely distinctive.

Her almond-shaped eyes, freed from the cover of sharp eye makeup, lost their sharpness and amplified her inherent gentleness, while also adding a touch of pure charm that seemed out of place with her long golden hair.

Her completely transformed appearance made Yukiko Higuchi seem like a completely different person from before.

It seems that my earlier guess that she would go for a sweet girl style was correct.
