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

After leaving the park, Ms. Hase finally replied to Ryoichi Sugawara's message.

He said he hadn't been able to contact Kujo Mayu's parents, and the reason he hadn't replied to the message earlier was because he was in class.

Just as Ryoichi Sugawara had predicted.

Thank you for your hard work, Hase-sensei. Higuchi and I have already gotten in touch with Kujo.

Although she didn't see her in person, her mother said that Kujo's condition was not serious and she would be able to return to school tomorrow.

Oh, I see. You two have worked hard too.

Starting tomorrow, you'll be able to tutor Jiu Tiao. Your teacher is really looking forward to seeing how well you do!

One more thing. You don't need to go back to school; just go home.

Ryo Sugawara held his phone up to Yukiko Higuchi's face, wanting her to see the message Hase-sensei had sent.

She hung her head, pouted, and looked unhappy.

After seeing the chat history between Sugawara Ryoichi and Hase-sensei, she didn't make any statement until Sugawara Ryoichi felt that she must have seen the contents of the phone and withdrew his hand.

After the little incident in the park, Yukiko Higuchi remained silent the entire way back.

Anyone else would find the atmosphere awkward.

But Ryoichi Sugawara possesses an extraordinary level of insensitivity to this, and continues doing what he was doing as if nothing had happened.

Moreover, in this way, Ryoichi Sugawara avoided Higuchi Yukiko's fatal problem.

What is called?

【Why do you need to find out about Kujo Mayu's address and current situation from someone else, even though she's your girlfriend?】

Can I tell you that Kujo Mayu and I are not in that kind of relationship at all?

Or should I tell you that her family has yakuza connections and that she's been grounded by that cold-hearted woman?

If you can keep your mouth shut and not say anything carelessly, I can explain it to you according to the first point.

But if you could keep your mouth shut and not talk nonsense, then Mayu Kujo and I wouldn't have this kind of relationship on the surface.

So you're the one who caused this problem, Yukiko Higuchi!

Have a little self-awareness!

Despite his complaints, Ryoichi Sugawara didn't forget to plan their return journey.

Now she doesn't need to go back to school, and Yukiko Higuchi's home is in Shibuya.

If she returns via the same route, Yukiko Higuchi will end up taking a long detour home.

Fortunately, the route that Yukiko Higuchi takes home also leads to her own house.

Moreover, boarding here means being closer to the tram's starting station, making it easier to grab a seat during peak school hours when many students are leaving school.

Ryoichi Sugawara and Yukiko Higuchi boarded the same tram at the station.

As the tram slowly started moving, the dappled scenery outside the window swept past the carriage under the bright sunset, allowing Sugawara Ryoichi's thoughts to drift away.

The reason the two were able to come to the port area on a proper school afternoon was because Sugawara Ryoichi discovered that Kujo Mayu had not come to Kitasakano school for two consecutive days since Kujo Mao and the others took her back home over the weekend.

Originally, I planned to demand an explanation from Kujo Mao and, incidentally, interrogate Kujo Daisuke.

[You made me believe in your abilities, and the result is that Kujo Mayu is grounded?]

I just didn't expect that the home address that Kujo Mayu filled in on her school file was fake.

In the end, I was unable to meet her or her parents.

For some reason, Sugawara Ryoichi felt that this might be better.

As an outsider, I have limited influence over the Kujo family.

Even if the address is real, and I went to her house and met Daisuke Kujo and his wife, there's a high chance I still won't be able to change their minds.

And to be honest.

If he really did go to Kujo Mayu's house with Higuchi Yukiko.

Afterwards, Sugawara Ryoichi still didn't know how to explain to her that he knew Kujo Mayu's parents.

Furthermore, they knew that they were from the Yakuza.

I can't exactly explain to Higuchi Yukiko that Kujo Mayu had stayed at my house for a while before.

Just the fact that she asked Sugawara Ryoichi to explain why he needed to go through someone else to find out where Kujo Mayu's house was already giving him a headache.

If he were to explain this again, Sugawara Ryoichi would only wish he could buy a Forget-Dust Pill that appeared in the novel.

Speaking of money, the system calculated the mission reward for "Going to Kujo Mayu's house with Higuchi Yukiko" before Sugawara Ryoichi boarded the train.

The total is 500,000 yen.

That's equivalent to getting all the mission rewards.

So, the action of "going to Kujo Mayu's house" doesn't need to result in actually arriving at the house; it just needs to be done, right?

This system is really good.

Then there's Yukiko Higuchi.

She was initially quite happy to be able to come out today.

Unexpectedly, she encountered Murakami Momono on her way here, which reminded her of unpleasant things.

Although she seemed very scared both then and afterward.

But after a while, after getting off the tram, she seemed to have returned to her usual cheerful self.

Wow, their recovery ability is amazing!

I just hope she's not just putting on a brave face.

Ryoichi Sugawara secretly glanced to the side, wanting to see what she was doing.

Unexpectedly, Yukiko Higuchi was also watching him silently.

The two locked eyes.

"you······"

As soon as Sugawara Ryoichi uttered a single word, Higuchi Yukiko abruptly turned her head away.

······

What's wrong? Are you still angry about what happened in the park?

It's all because you insisted on sitting on my lap and forcing me to say it.

And I didn't know you really weren't planning on running away.

Ryoichi Sugawara recalled the feeling of hugging Yukiko Higuchi in the park, and there were only three points in total.

So soft, so fragrant, so numbing.

Oops!

Just thinking about that feeling is enough to energize a brother.

This body... it's still young and vigorous.

Just as Sugawara Ryoichi was still feeling sentimental, a small incident suddenly occurred.

At this time, the carriages were mostly filled with students from schools along the route who were returning home.

Two boys in high-collared uniforms chatted for a long time in a corner of the carriage.

They kept glancing at Yukiko Higuchi, seemingly discussing something.

Then he revealed Ying Dang's wicked smile.

One of the tall, thin boys with slightly frizzy hair handed his backpack to his friend and took a deep breath.

He ran his fingers through his hair a few times, revealing what he considered his most radiant smile.

He approached Yukiko Higuchi from the corner of the carriage and struck up a conversation with her.

This surprised Yukiko Higuchi.

She glanced at Sugawara Ryoichi beside her, then at him, her small eyes filled with great confusion.

"You don't seem to have a boyfriend. Could I add you on social media?"

I know several handsome guys who are just as good-looking as me. We can hang out together this weekend!

"puff."

After glancing at his appearance, Sugawara Ryoichi almost burst out laughing.

Higuchi Yukiko was already troubled.

Being bothered by this clueless person only made her angrier.

He vented all the anger he had taken from the wooden man, Ryoichi Sugawara, on this unlucky guy.

"How do you know I don't have a boyfriend? Can't you tell we're together? Why did you have to come all this way?"

If you don't have a clear understanding of your own appearance, you can post a selfie on Pairs and let the women on the platform comment on your face, which resembles the surface of the moon!
