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

After composing themselves, Yukiko Higuchi and Ryoichi Sugawara set off on their journey again.

As expected, the two of them crossed the Meguro Ward from Kitasakano High School and exited the station around 3 p.m.

This is their destination, the station closest to the home address listed in Mayu Kujo's profile.

Port area.

This area is home to the most central and traditional affluent districts in Tokyo, including popular areas such as Akasaka and Roppongi.

It has a strong international character, with numerous embassies and headquarters of foreign companies from various countries.

The average annual income of residents in Tokyo's 23 wards has consistently ranked first.

It serves as both a window into the world of luxury for Japan and an ideal residence for the ultra-wealthy and elite.

It possesses a rich historical heritage and has always been at the forefront of urban renewal and lifestyle.

It is a complex entity that combines wealth, power, internationalization, and fashion.

The staff members in the school's faculty office were somewhat surprised to see the residence of Mayu Kujo.

Because it takes more than two hours by train to get from here to Kitasakano High School in Setagaya Ward.

The only reasonable explanation is that Mai Kujo used to have a private car picking her up and dropping her off at school every day.

It's just that no one has discovered this in the past three years, which shows that the Kujo family has done a very good job of keeping it a secret.

Ryoichi Sugawara reopened the map app on his phone.

The current location is a 10-minute walk from the navigation destination.

On the way from the station, we passed the dessert shop that Sugawara Ryoichi and his companion had seen on the map before they set off.

Bringing some desserts as gifts when visiting someone means you won't arrive empty-handed.

Perhaps the emotional turmoil she experienced earlier had left Yukiko Higuchi somewhat exhausted, causing her to sleep all the way from the 711-Eleven convenience store to the tram after changing trains until she just exited the station.

During this time, the slightly gentler afternoon sun made Yukiko Higuchi feel dizzy, and she almost bumped into Ryoichi Sugawara's shoulder several times.

Fortunately, Ryoichi Sugawara noticed in time and managed to dodge, preventing her face from hitting his shoulder bone.

Seeing that there weren't many people in the train car, he let Higuchi Yukiko lie down on the seat to rest, while he took off his coat and covered her with it to prevent her from being exposed.

Yukiko Higuchi looks much more energetic now and has regained her usual vitality.

"Wow~ The sun feels so warm on my skin, it's so comfortable to sleep."

Yukiko Higuchi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, stretching out her arms and legs.

The unfamiliar street scene piqued her curiosity, and her almond-shaped eyes darted around, taking a second look at everything.

Then, as if suddenly remembering the purpose of this trip, she turned to Sugawara Ryoichi and asked.

"Where should we go next? How much longer do we have to walk?"

Ryoichi Sugawara held his phone and pointed in the direction shown by the navigation.

She then mentioned that they would be passing by a dessert shop along the way, which made Yukiko Higuchi's smile even wider.

"After sitting on the tram for so long, I'm feeling a bit hungry, so this is a good time to have some dessert."

Let's go quickly.

"Wait a moment, let me let Mr. Hase know that we have arrived at our station."

······

On the way to the dessert shop, Yukiko Higuchi suddenly seemed to remember something and brought up what had happened earlier.

"Hey, speaking of which, Sugawara-san is quite bold. She even dared to fight with others for my sake."

She turned to face Ryoichi Sugawara, walking backwards on the sidewalk with her hands behind her back. Her sweet smile, devoid of eye makeup, clearly betrayed her ill intentions.

"Where did the fighting take place? Don't make things up."

Ryoichi Sugawara would never admit to being involved in a fight.

He especially laid a hand on a girl.

"When you helped me leave on the bus, didn't you elbow Murakami Momono when you got up?"

"She was blocking my way. There's such a big empty space next to her, couldn't she just move aside a bit?"

Even Sugawara Ryoichi felt that this statement was a bit far-fetched.

Once you take action, you take action.

You can't say that pushing someone with your elbow doesn't count as hitting them.

Fortunately, Yukiko Higuchi is in a good mood right now.

Under normal circumstances, he would probably have ignored the atmosphere and started interrogating Sugawara Ryoichi about this issue.

"And can't you watch where you're going? You're like a little kid. Walking backwards is dangerous."

"Yes, yes~"

Taking advantage of Yukiko Higuchi's walking posture, Ryoichi Sugawara quickly changed the subject.

Yukiko Higuchi was very obedient and returned to walking side by side with Ryoichi Sugawara.

Her first wave of attacks was effectively neutralized by Ryoichi Sugawara.

Just as Sugawara Ryoichi was about to catch his breath, Higuchi Yukiko launched her second wave of attacks.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to be so generous."

In order to shut up Momono Murakami and the others, he took out a huge sum of 100,000 yen in one go.

"100,000 yen! That's five whole months' worth of my allowance! Judging from the outcome, it seems like you were bullied by them too."

Sugawara Ryoichi was both annoyed and amused by her words.

Yukiko Higuchi brought up the incident on the bus, indicating that she has largely recovered mentally.

"You know that money was meant to shut up Momono and the others."

Before that, they even managed to get the driver under their thumb. They're clearly a group of repeat offenders; if we don't use some methods, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause later.

If things really escalate to the police, it's an undeniable fact that I pushed Momono Murakami.

They accepted the money, so they consider it a reconciliation with us.

They might not accept less money, but 100,000 is just the right amount.

Spending a little money to solve a problem and rightfully vent your anger is well worth it.

Ryoichi Sugawara directly told Yukiko Higuchi his thoughts.

To put it more succinctly, that 100,000 yen was an insurance policy that Sugawara Ryoichi bought for his impulsiveness.

As long as Murakami Momono and the others accepted it, even if they later refused to accept it and still called the police, it was still a shameless act.

Ryoichi Sugawara could also use this incident to explain to the police that he had already paid a settlement of 100,000 yen, indicating that they had reached an agreement.

Moreover, Momono Murakami and her friends also bullied Yukiko Higuchi on the bus.

No one would be foolish enough to take the benefits and then get burned.

Furthermore, Sugawara Ryoichi also earned money from Higuchi Yukiko through tasks posted by the system.

It's only right to spend money to help her solve some of her problems.

Ryoichi Sugawara rambled on and on, but Yukiko Higuchi didn't listen at all.

Hearing the last sentence, "I helped you vent your anger," warmed my heart.

"You're helping me get revenge? So you still care about me?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Sugawara Ryoichi was speechless for a moment, looking at Higuchi Yukiko with a blank expression.

She was all smiles, not at all like someone who had just gone through a painful ordeal.

It must be said that Yukiko Higuchi has a truly strong ability to adjust her mental state.

I should learn from her.
