Tokyo Tutor: Starting with My Ex-Girlfriend's Sister

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Huizi."

Yamazaki Kazuka opened the door, and the scene before him was somewhat stimulating.

Keiko Inoue wore a sleeveless short-sleeved shirt, her soft, tofu-like skin swaying slightly in the evening breeze with her arms.

"You're welcome. By the way, did Jiro reply to your message?"

No. If he replies, I'll tell you as soon as possible.

"Okay. Here, have some. Don't work too hard."

After having eaten tonkotsu ramen, Yamazaki Kazukazu began preparing for tomorrow's classes.

"This guy hasn't replied to me yet."

Before going to sleep, Yamazaki Kazuka noticed that Inoue Jiro hadn't replied to her yet. Could it be that their feelings for each other had faded?

Somewhat sentimental, Yamazaki Kazuka realized that he hadn't added Sugi Aoi as a game friend yet.

So I took out the game console from my suitcase. I was planning to take it home, but then all this happened.

As Yamazaki Kazuka looked at the game console, he suddenly remembered that it was a gift from Inoue Jiro.

"This guy, you really need to make sure he doesn't pick up any bad habits."

Yamazaki Kazuka turned on the game console and added Uesugi Aoi as a friend.

"Approved instantly? She's still online?"

Yamazaki Kazuka immediately dialed Uesugi Aoi's cell phone.

"Mr. Yamazaki, I've added you as a friend."

"Yeah, I saw it. Is Pokémon fun?"

"Of course, Mr. Yamazaki, it's a lot of fun!"

Uesugi Aoi noticed that it was getting late.

"Um, Mr. Yamazaki, please let me explain."

"Go to bed early. If I find you staying up late playing games, I'll confiscate your game console."

"Understood. Coming right away!"

"I'll give you five minutes. If you don't quit within five minutes, you can say goodbye to your game console."

Yamazaki Kazukaze's tone was very assertive, which made Uesugi Aoi somewhat flustered.

"well."

In the past two days, Yamazaki Kazufu has demonstrated his credibility, and Uesugi Aoi knows that this man keeps his word.

She immediately quit the game, then curiously clicked on Yamazaki Kazufu's avatar to check his profile.

"Mr. Yamazaki, do you play Street Fighter too?"

"Yes. I didn't expect you, Aoi, to have 120 hours of Street Fighter experience."

"Same here, Mr. Yamazaki, you also have 300 hours. Can we have a match now?"

"Uesugi Aoi asked."

"Not tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow when we have time."

"The teacher will only be here for a little while."

"No, it's already midnight. Aoi, you've almost used up your five minutes."

"Yes."

Uesugi Aoi remarked that it was no wonder someone could get into the University of Tokyo; their self-control was truly remarkable.

"Mr. Yamazaki is a good person, no wonder Sakihime trusts him so much."

After turning off the lights, Uesugi Aoi lay on the bed, reflecting on the events of the past few days.

"Although he's a bit lecherous, it's only human nature. After all, Saki deliberately exposed herself."

"What will happen if he loses this job?"

Uesugi Aoi was conflicted. On one hand, she hoped to end this intense summer tutoring program, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to see Yamazaki Kazuka lose his job.

My miniature camera, which I ordered online, is about to arrive. Should I really go ahead with this plan?

With this conflicted feeling, Uesugi Aoi closed her eyes.

"How may I help you?"

Early in the morning, Yamazaki Kazuka went to the 24-hour convenience store downstairs. There, he printed out the practice questions he had prepared the night before into a booklet.

May Buddha bless Saki with a clear head today.

Yamazaki Kazuka prayed silently, hoping that his efforts over the past two days had not been in vain.

On the way back, a message appeared on my phone.

Did my sister send you?

It was Inoue Jiro who replied to himself.

No, it just occurred to me. I've been missing you for so long, I wondered if you'd died on the streets of London.

If one day I don't reply to your messages, it means I really have died on the streets of London.

What?!

[I was just kidding, my mind isn't very clear right now since I just woke up.]

Haha, me too.

Wait a minute? What time is it in London now?

Yamazaki Kazuka suddenly realized that something was wrong.

【Don't worry about me, Kaze. I'm doing well in London. I'll probably stay in London in the future.】

I understand. Good luck.

【goodluck】

Although Inoue Jiro's chat content told me not to worry about him, there was a strange feeling about the chat content.

He's far away in London, and even if he encounters trouble, there's nothing he can do. He might as well tell Inoue Keiko what's going on.

Yamazaki Kaze arrived at Inoue Keiko's apartment, where she had once again prepared a delicious Japanese breakfast to treat him.

"Keiko-neechan Jiro replied to my message."

"Really? What did he say?"

Although she complained, Keiko Inoue still cared about her younger brother.

He said everything was fine.

Yamazaki and Kazeko Inoue showed him their chat history.

"Did he just wake up from his afternoon nap?"

"I think so."

"Oh dear, what should I do? I'm so worried about what he's doing. You know, my parents only care about themselves."

The Inoue family runs a multinational private bank, and in Japan, companies with multinational operations generally choose to cooperate with the Inoue family's bank.

Keiko Inoue's father was a member of a branch family and did not inherit the core business of the family, but from birth, he received a huge dividend from the Inoue family every year.

Having grown up in luxury, Keiko Inoue's father became an incompetent but kind person.

If he had paid more attention to Inoue Jiro's problems at school earlier, things might not have escalated to that point.

After Keiko Inoue came of age, he took his wife on a trip abroad, leaving his only remaining business to her.

Yamazaki Kazuka hadn't seen the couple for a year; Inoue Keiko was handling all the rent collection and tenant disputes.

"Sister Huizi, if you're worried about him, try calling him and having a good talk with him."

"I'll give it a try. Let's not talk about this anymore, come and eat."

Yamazaki Kazufu sat at the dining table enjoying the food prepared by Inoue Keiko.

[This is so delicious! If someone could marry Keiko-neechan, it would be like winning a billion-yen lottery!]

Yamazaki Kazuka found it strange; he had never heard of Inoue Keiko ever having a boyfriend. Logically, she should be very popular.

"Huizi-neechan, what are you doing?"

Yamazaki Kazuka noticed that Inoue Keiko was still busy in the kitchen.

"I'll make some more fried pork ribs and deliver them to the elderly later. I'll wash the ribs clean and coat them with flour first. I'll fry them again when I get back."

"Sister Huizi, you are truly a bodhisattva reborn."

"You flatter me, Hefeng. There are several elderly people living alone here. No one knows where their families have gone except for themselves."

"The oldest among them is 98 years old. Can you believe it? Such an elderly person can still go out to work."

Keiko Inoue found this somewhat unbelievable.

"Is Sister Huizi going to visit them?"

"Yes, I visit them every five days. That way, they can get help promptly if anything happens to them."

As Yamazaki Kazuka watched Inoue Keiko's retreating figure, he felt that she was radiating light.

The "accident" that Keiko Inoue mentioned probably refers to dying alone.

Due to aging populations and an atomized society, many elderly people are left without care and die alone in their apartments.

Some of them were dead for more than a month before they were discovered. You can imagine what the crime scene must have been like.

As a landlady, Keiko Inoue must have dealt with many similar situations.
