The premise of breaking up in Tokyo

After sitting quietly in the living room for five or six minutes, Eitai and Kotoyo gradually calmed down.

Both of them were still wrapped in blankets, with only their heads showing.

Perhaps because Katsuhiko kept staring at Kotoha's head, Kotoha seemed to notice, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

Meanwhile, Eiyo, who was squeezed next to her, thought Katsuhiko was looking at her face and felt that the atmosphere wasn't suitable for anything ambiguous. She pursed her lips a few times, not knowing what to say, but felt quite at ease being watched by him like this.

A dozen minutes later, Katsuhiko produced a coin in his hand and fiddled with it between his fingers.

Kotoha seemed unable to bear it any longer and whispered, "Katsuhiko-kun, you should go to sleep..."

"Won't you do something drastic?" Sheng Yan asked.

Qin Ye shook her head slightly and said softly, "I just don't know what to do in the future. Life is so tiring."

"Forget about it," Eiyo said, staring at Katsuhiko with a resentful look. "He said he would take full responsibility, so let's stick with him."

Qinye lowered her head and covered her face with the blanket, offering no response.

Yingdai wanted to add: she seriously doubted his ability to take responsibility, as philandering men are always fickle.

However, considering the current situation, it seems inappropriate to say it out loud. I can only observe and test him for a few more days... After all, he has already admitted that she is his girlfriend. Doesn't he have the right to test her?

I'm just not happy about it. Not only does he already have a wife, but he also has a girlfriend he's hiding from his wife... and he even wants them both to come together tomorrow morning. It's outrageous...

"After all, it was Kenta who entrusted me with this, so I'll definitely take responsibility," Katsuhiko nodded, put the coin in his pocket, and continued, "However, it's definitely not good if you don't know what to do. How about setting a small goal first?"

Qin Ye looked up blankly.

Katsuhiko continued, "Let's set a small goal together: first, let's avenge Kenta and take down Sato Hiroji."

Whether it was the interrogation of the three "mentally ill" men who intended to break into the house and kidnap, or the confession in Kenta's suicide note, both were directly related to Hiroji Sato.

Qinye bit her trembling lips and nodded.

Eiyo squinted at Katsuhiko and said, "Isn't your convenience store owner also at odds with him?"

"Yes, that's the small goal for the four of us," Katsuhiko casually replied, getting straight to the point and saying to Kotoha, "Once we avenge Kenta, he'll be at peace, and you can also move on from your grief."

Kotoha's hand, gripping the blankets, trembled slightly. She subconsciously looked up at Katsuhiko, her eyes somewhat dazed.

Eiyo's gaze lingered for a moment. She looked at Kotoyo, then at Katsuhiko. She noticed that Katsuhiko seemed to be staring at Kotoyo ever since he sat down.

It's only right to care about her now! After all, Kotoha suffered the most severe blow.

But when Eiyo thought about Katsuhiko's network of connections, her mind went completely blank. A strange anger welled up inside her, but she couldn't vent it. She threw down the bedding, stood up, and said, "I'll add another big goal: bankrupt the First Industrial Bank and send its president to jail. Can you help me do that?"

Yingdai immediately regretted her words. It was completely impossible, and it made her seem thoughtless, petty, and like she was trying to win favor. How annoying...

Qin Ye turned around in surprise, still looking bewildered and confused.

Katsuhiko's gaze, which had been fixed on Kotoha's head, instantly shifted to Eiyo.

She was wearing only a thin nightgown, light blue, with long straps and a deep V-neck.

This style of nightgown would look loose on most people, but it fits Yingdai perfectly.

As she stood up abruptly, a dark blue, lace-trimmed bra tightly bound her nightgown beneath her thin skirt, causing it to sway and ripple, easily reminiscent of the tassels on a Latin dance dress on stage…

And then there was her panting, almost defiant look; a quick glance made one think she had a swaying, milky-white water balloon strapped to her chest.

Katsuhiko felt that his normal eye size wasn't enough to take Eiyo into his field of vision, so he widened his eyes a little and nodded, saying, "It is indeed a very large target."

It's not impossible to bankrupt a large city bank, after all, it's a publicly listed company that raises funds, as long as there's enough money.

Sending the head of the bank to jail would be a huge bombshell, wouldn't it? It doesn't seem that difficult, after all, no banker is clean, especially these days, with their murky ties to the underworld…

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep," Eiyo said, her gaze shifting downwards, her eyes twitching slightly. She then looked at Katsuhiko, leaned down towards him, grabbed the blankets, but didn't wrap them around herself. She dragged the blankets across Katsuhiko's face and headed straight for the bedroom, saying, "You two can continue talking if you want!"

Qinye still seemed a little confused and asked, "What's wrong, Eitai-neechan?"

"Ignore her," Sheng Yan put another coin in his pocket, waved to her, "You're tired enough today, go to sleep!"

Qinye turned her head and looked into the bedroom, whispering, "Eida is really nice... Her leg injury seems to be healed now, you can take her to see a movie."

"How can I be in the mood to watch a movie?" Katsuhiko said, rolling up his sleeves to reveal eight health bars and a mouthful of teeth marks. He continued, "Is Eiyo really that nice? She bit and scratched me."

Qinye was stunned. Normally, she would have laughed in this situation, but she couldn't laugh at all. After thinking for a moment, she felt she should make an excuse for Yingdai and said, "There must be a reason!"

"That's partly true," Katsuhiko said, circling his index finger over the round teeth mark. "I told her I have a wife and a girlfriend, and she got angry."

"You have a wife?" Kotoha was speechless. "And a girlfriend too..."

"They'll come to visit you first thing tomorrow morning, bringing breakfast. Mikoto doesn't want Sayuri to know about her relationship with me yet, so when you receive them tomorrow, don't let it slip."

Qinye was at a loss for words.

It's probably a kind of awkward feeling of being trusted by a jerk...

Although I was very surprised, astonished, confused and even incredulous about the fact that Katsuhiko "not only has a wife, but also a girlfriend".

But since the two of them are coming over first thing tomorrow morning, let them do as they please...

But there was a big problem: it was I who introduced Yingdai to him, and it seems that we even got together.

No matter how you look at it, it's like pushing Yingdai into a fire pit...

Qinye was stunned for a long time before cautiously asking, "Then, how will you treat Yingdai from now on? She seems... to like you."

"Absolutely fair and impartial, showing no favoritism to anyone."

As he spoke, Sheng Yan raised his right hand, as if making an oath, appearing righteous and awe-inspiring.

His sleeve slipped down, revealing teeth marks and eight bloody welts on his forearm. His expression stiffened for a moment before he said, "As long as she doesn't bite me again."

"Yes, it's because you're too fickle that...that's why I bit you," Qin Ye wanted to say that the bite was light, not understanding why he spoke so righteously. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "This also shows that Sister Yingdai cares about you. You, you can't let her down."

After all, I was the one who brought them together...

"I can't abandon Sayuri and Mikoto either; I promised to take responsibility for them."

Katsuhiko picked up the letter from the coffee table and continued, "And the two of you, Kenta asked me to take care of you, and I'm more than happy to help. It's impossible for me to abandon either of you, and refusing wouldn't make a difference. I'm like a guardian; no matter how rebellious the children are, parents can't just abandon them."

"I..." Qin Ye's face suddenly froze, looking somewhat at a loss. She wrapped herself in the blanket, ran barefoot into the bedroom, and said, "I... I want to sleep..."

Not long after Qinye entered the bedroom, Yingdai came out barefoot, wearing a nightgown.

With each step she took, her deep V-neck nightgown swayed as it pushed up her body.

Although the skirt hem covered her knees, the ultra-thin fabric couldn't hide her 1.75-meter-tall, shapely legs, and the light blue fabric made her skin appear even whiter.

"How dare you harass Qinye?"

Eiyo stood in front of Katsuhiko, hands on her hips, looking down at him, and said in a low voice as if questioning, "What time is it now? Are you an animal?"

Eiyo's indignant demeanor made Katsuhiko somewhat suspicious that she might have been flirting. After carefully recalling what she had just said, he realized that she hadn't at all!

It was simply to give Qin Ye a boost of confidence, given her confusion about the future and her depressed mood, so that she wouldn't feel like a rootless drifter.

After all, having someone to rely on gives you confidence, makes you less afraid to act, and gives you the motivation to live.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yan immediately stood up, put his hands on his hips and looked down at Ying Dai, lowering his voice as he said, "Where did you get the idea that I flirted with her? You need to change your bad temper. I'll tolerate your scratching and biting, but you can't frame me."

"Kotoha went back to her bedroom and didn't say a word. I asked her, but she wouldn't say anything, except when you... Anyway, I saw you just now, and her eyes were off. I saw what you were up to a long time ago, but at least we have to wait for Kenta..."

Before Eiya could finish speaking, the bedroom sliding door slammed shut, and Kotoyo's somewhat unnatural voice came from behind it: "I'm sleeping alone, Eiya-neechan. You can find somewhere to sleep!"

Startled, Eiyo quickly went to the bedroom door, but didn't open the sliding door. She whispered, "Kotoha-chan, open the door."

There was no response from the bedroom.

Katsuhiko tilted his head and asked, "Is it locked?"

Eiyo glanced back at Katsuhiko, then walked straight to the tatami room, saying, "I'll sleep in the tatami room, you sleep on the sofa. If you dare come in, I'll bite you to death..."

"Who do you take me for?"

Katsuhiko chuckled and lay down on the sofa.

Poor Kenta, his body had probably only just been placed in the morgue of the Inspectorate Medical Center... his bones were barely cold...

The funeral can only be held after the holiday is almost over. If everything is kept simple, it will probably cost three to four hundred thousand yen...

Katsuhiko, shirtless, lay on the sofa for a short while before Eiyo asked softly, "Are you cold?"

Katsuhiko was still not sleepy and tilted his head, saying, "It's a bit cold."

"I'll lend you a piece of my blanket, you..."

Before Eiyo could finish speaking, Katsuhiko darted barefoot into the Japanese-style room, lifted the quilt, crawled in, and lay down perfectly still, like a corpse.

Yingdai's breath hitched slightly. She pursed her lips, turned her back, and whispered, "That's fine..."

Now is definitely not the time to do anything, whether it's my mood, the atmosphere, or my current physical condition; I'm both sleepy and tired.

However, Katsuhiko still couldn't fall asleep and could only continue to try to drift off.

The sound of relaxed breathing reached her ears; Eiyo was fast asleep. Perhaps the events of the day had caused her too much emotional turmoil, as she wasn't sleeping very soundly and kept tossing and turning. In the end, she used Katsuhiko as a long, upright pillow, draping her left arm and leg over him and pulling him into her arms.

Sheng Yan sighed softly, ignoring her... He'd just treat it as a bubble bath, a way to relax and rejuvenate. The nightgown was made of real silk, the fabric was so smooth...

He stared wide-eyed until dawn.

At 6:30 a.m., there was a loud crash in the bedroom, the glass shattered.

"Ah!!!" Kotoha screamed and ran out of the bedroom wrapped in the blanket.

In the Japanese-style room, Eiyo suddenly sat up, the long, thin strap of her dress slipping off her left shoulder, causing a ripple in her chest. She turned her head frantically, asking, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Katsuhiko was finally free. He pulled the blanket over Eiyo's head, quickly went into the tatami room, steadied Kotoha, and asked, "What happened?"

Kotoha gripped Katsuhiko's hand, her face pale as she looked towards the bedroom. Her voice trembling with tears, she said, "Someone...someone smashed the bedroom window..."

Sheng Yan rushed into the bedroom. The mattress was covered with shards of glass and half a red brick.

A pane of glass in the window shattered, and the cool morning breeze blew in, causing the blue curtains to flutter. The sound of a motorcycle driving away was quite loud…

"Don't sleep here, hurry up and change your clothes, let's go to Misaka's house."

In this situation, there's really nothing that can be done about them in the short term. However, the more they make a scene, the less pressure they feel to renege on their debts. Let's see who gets desperate in the end...

As for the mortgaged house, the bank can't take it away... The current owner is Kotoha. Kenta has paid the insurance, and after he dies, the mortgage will be paid by the insurance company.

The house can be rented to...some unlucky guy at a low price.

"The Mikoto family?" Kotoha and Eiyo seemed not to have reacted yet.

"My girlfriend, didn't she say that last night?" Sheng Yan reminded him again, and then said, "At this time, they should both be up, probably making breakfast for us. We can go over there, eat, and then go back to sleep."

Eiyo opened her mouth, grabbed the strap of her camisole that had slipped off her shoulder, pulled it up sharply, shoved Katsuhiko aside, and went into the bedroom.

Qinye was still a little confused and whispered, "Is this a good idea?"

"What's wrong with that? From now on, we'll be family, loving each other." Katsuhiko stumbled after being pushed by Eiyo, and while holding onto the bedroom sliding door, he said to Eiyo, "You have to change your bad temper; you can't be so physical."

Yingdai's face turned red with anger. Clutching her work clothes, she said, "Get away from me, I need to change."

Yingdai kept all her belongings in a remote, cheap house, and this was the only set of clothes she owned there.

Qinye still wore that plain white dress.

Lock the door when you leave.

Neither of them brought much luggage, since they weren't far apart, and besides, they were both feeling rather uneasy.

Kotoha had a desolate expression on her face. She lagged behind Katsuhiko by a little half a step and followed behind Eiyo.

Eiyo walked side by side with Katsuhiko, glaring angrily at his arm and grinding her teeth.

"Mikoto knows our situation, so feel free to talk to her," Katsuhiko said, turning to Eiyo while glancing at Kotoha. "As for Sayuri, she's a bit fragile. I've decided to take it one step at a time, nurturing her until she's more mature. What do you think?"

"You're asking me?"

Eiyo revealed a smile that looked like a grimace, suddenly leaned on Katsuhiko's shoulder, and was about to bite him when Katsuhiko quickly turned to the side, grabbed Kotoba, and blocked the way.

Katsuhiko, with his arm around Kotoha's shoulder, grinned at Eiyo, who was tilting her head, and said, "Do you think you can use the same tricks on me again?"

"Scumbag!" Eiyo reached out and grabbed Katsuhiko's smiling face through the koto leaf.

Katsuhiko tilted his head and turned behind Kotoha, saying, "Where are you being a jerk? You're very responsible, okay? You didn't abandon a single one."

"What a responsible scumbag!"

"I like this title."

Qin Ye was sandwiched between two big guys, feeling a little helpless. Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she whispered, "Can you please stop messing around?"

Katsuhiko immediately gave Eiyo a wink, and Eiyo snorted and quieted down.
