Tokyo: I'm bound to the evil women!

On the way, Fujiwara Matsu and Ichinomiya Satsuki didn't actually talk about anything, because with Shiratori Saki around, Fujiwara Matsu didn't want Chiya Mio to know anything.

However, [duration: one hour and 34 minutes]

With little time left to weaken Ichinomiya, Fujiwara Matsu was considering how to get Shiratori Saki away.

It just doesn't seem necessary.

"Um, Ms. Ichinomiya, Mr. Fujiwara, could you wait a moment? I'd like to draw a fortune stick."

The two looked at each other and nodded in tacit agreement.

Shiratori Saki took two steps, and Fujiwara Matsu was ready to take action, actively misleading Ichinomiya Satsuki.

He glanced at Ichinomiya Satsuki almost imperceptibly, first scrutinizing her carefully, and finally revealing a look of surprise.

Only after making sure his movements were caught off guard did he suddenly composed himself.

If you want to mislead a smart person, you have to let them mislead themselves.

Ichinomiya Satsuki clearly saw it, but she acted as if she hadn't noticed anything and continued speaking:

"When will you do it next time?"

Faced with her questioning, Fujiwara Matsu remained silent; he could never answer such a specific question.

Try it every three days, and she'll gradually settle down on her own.

She wasn't annoyed by his silence; she just kept asking.

"Besides me, who else could you use it on?"

"Chiya? Shiratori? Yourself?"

Fujiwara Matsu only tensed up slightly when Chiya Mio's name was mentioned; otherwise, he showed no reaction.

Satsuki Ichinomiya had been paying close attention to his subtle reactions, and thus she keenly noticed them.

Within a few words, Shiratori Saki returned with the fortune slip, which was not auspicious.

Since Chiya Mio's order was to only ask for a very auspicious fortune slip, but she herself hadn't drawn one, she thought she'd let the two of them try as well.

"Fujiwara-kun, why don't you give it a try?"

"The fortune slips at our shrine are quite accurate."

Since both of them had said that, Fujiwara Matsu casually went over and drew a lot, and surprisingly, it was a very auspicious result.

Fujiwara Matsu paused for a moment as he looked at the fortune slip in his hand, and the two of them gathered around him.

"Daikichi, Fujiwara-kun, may I take a look?"

He casually handed it to Shiratori Saki, who quickly wrote down the fortune slip. Ichinomiya Satsuki was staring intently at her.

Her gaze made Fujiwara Matsu wonder if she was overthinking something.

"Fujiwara, shall we try again?"

He was silent for a moment, then shook his head in refusal.

"You should only try drawing lots occasionally."

He couldn't mislead this guy with this kind of thing, so creating a false impression would only make it easier for flaws to be revealed.

Because of Shiratori Saki, Fujiwara Matsu was under more scrutiny at the shrine, while Ichinomiya Satsuki left first to say goodbye to the others at the shrine.

Fujiwara Matsu left with Shiratori Saki to go to Ichinomiya's room.

Taking this opportunity, Shiratori Saki sent the auspicious fortune slip to Chiya Mio, then turned around:

"Fujiwara-kun, what's your relationship with Ichinomiya-san? Why did you suddenly end up living together?"

Fujiwara Matsu was taken aback when asked this question by Shiratori Saki.

"I don't have much of a relationship with Ichinomiya. As for why she stayed here, you can ask Mio."

"But why... Fujiwara-kun, would you agree?"

"Because it's also good for me; Ichinomiya isn't in danger."

Fujiwara Matsu calmly explained the problem to Shiratori Saki, knowing that Shiratori Saki might not quite understand.

"Sazaki-senpai, you can tell Misaki about my conversation with Ichinomiya without reservation, but if possible, please don't let him know about our conversation, okay?"

A look of struggle crossed Shiratori Saki's face. After hesitating, she nodded.

"I see."

Since Ichinomiya Satsuki had to pack many things herself, Fujiwara Matsu and Shiratori Saki stood outside her room waiting.

"This is, Satsuki, are we going to live together? You still say we're not boyfriend and girlfriend, Fujiwara-kun."

Ichinomiya Satsuki and Akizuki Shrine Maiden returned together, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the old woman began to tease Fujiwara Matsu.

"Um, Grandma Akizuki, that's not how it is."

"Who is this?"

Satsuki Ichinomiya spoke up at the opportune moment.

"My classmate came to help."

"Is that so..."

"Remember to come back, little Satsuki."

"I come every day, I just leave briefly when the club closes."

As she spoke, she led the two into her room. Fujiwara Matsu had been there that morning, so he didn't react much, but Shiratori Saki couldn't suppress her curiosity.

Ichinomiya Satsuki didn't have much luggage, just one suitcase and a few small bags, which Shiratori Saki didn't need, and Fujiwara Matsu could handle it all by himself.

The three of them left the shrine carrying their belongings. The shrine maidens on the way asked about Ichinomiya Satsuki's whereabouts, and all of them showed strange and surprised expressions.

However, since no one stopped her, Ichinomiya Satsuki seemed to be having too much freedom.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Fujiwara family.

Chiya Mio looked at the message on her phone but didn't delve into it further. She had already gotten what she wanted, and now it was time to deal with the "clutter".

As Ayaka Ando looked at Misaki Chiya walking into her room, she felt an instinctive sense of fear.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you in front of Song."

Hearing this, she relaxed a little and straightened her back.

"Ando, ​​I want you to answer one question. If I'm satisfied, I'll consider how to deal with you afterwards."

"But you'd better tell me the truth, though you can try to hide it."

Chiyo's calm gaze fell on her, and Ando Ayaka felt her heart race, and she subconsciously swallowed.

"Chiya-kun, ask away."

"What does Song's 'deity' status mean to you? Are you genuinely grateful, or do you have ulterior motives?"

"I never thought of such a thing, or rather, even my most valuable asset has been rejected by him."

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed on her face, this time with a heavy blow. Chiyo Mio stared at her coldly, her face expressionless. She shook her hand slightly, as if she had touched something dirty.

Of course she understood.

However, even after her head was knocked to the side by the blow, Ayaka Ando didn't pause and continued speaking:

"That was the only way I could think of at the time."

"I have nothing left."

Apart from……

"so……"

"So, you want to capture 'the gods'?"

"Get ready, what's coming next is what you deserve."

"But don't worry, you won't die. I promised him, but that's all."

After a pause, Chiyo Mio spoke again, addressing Ando Ayaka.

"Ando, ​​does Matsu know about your past?"

"Do you think he would accept someone like you? Putting aside your talk of repayment, based on my understanding of Song, he would never have any good feelings towards someone like that."

"From what source do you begin your repayment, your service?"

"Although, you didn't actually do anything substantial."

"My past... is not dirty. I have never given up on myself, and I am proud that I was able to survive."

"Oh? Really? Do you want me to tell you in detail about how one person was contacting thirteen boys at the same time?"

"Even I was quite surprised when I first heard about this."

These words were like tearing away Ayaka Ando's fig leaf. She bit her lower lip tightly, her expression tense. She didn't cry; she never thought it would do any good.

"I had no choice."

"You clearly had a better way, but you gave up."

"I didn't, this is me..."

The young lady's slender fingers gently landed on Ando Ayaka's lips, using physical means to shut her up. She raised her hand and slapped her face twice, not with much force, but more like an insult.

"A decent appearance, but that's all."

"This is one of the few remaining values ​​you possess."

"If it weren't for Matsu, you'd probably be close to actually doing *that* kind of thing by now, right?"

"You stayed in an internet cafe for over a month, swindling money from more than twenty middle-aged men? What's your next step, some real prostitute?"

"I hope you can live up to Song's kindness towards you."

After saying this, Chiya Mio left the storage room, estimating that the other three would be back soon.

The door lock clicked open, and Chiya Mio smiled.

Ayaka Ando huddled in her room, taking deep breaths. When she looked up, she seemed to have made up her mind.

I want to prove to Fujiwara-san that his choice was not wrong, and even so... I will continue on this path.

She walked out of the storage room, and Fujiwara Matsu was pushing a suitcase.
