A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

"Want to be my lover for an hour? How about we take it a step further today?"

Natsuki Aoi raised her right hand: "There's really no need for that."

Chapter 22 But he's really nice!

"Eh~ Is it because I'm not good-looking?" Sakurajima An tugged at her collar, her alluring eyes looking at her again.

"No, no, no, I just don't think it makes any sense. I have something to do, let's talk about it another day." Aoi Natsuki wanted to end the conversation, interrupting Rina's envious gaze, and pulled her towards the pet hospital.

Upon entering the hospital, you'll find that pet hospitals often don't resemble large, regular hospitals; they're more like general clinics, and the space isn't very large.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" a male caregiver with a gentle smile asked as he stepped forward.

Natsuki Aoi stated her purpose: "I would like to learn about the relevant procedures for pet hospitals to adopt small animals."

"Okay, then please follow me."

The male caregiver led them through a corridor to a large room.

There were about seven or eight dogs and two cats in the room. The cats and dogs seemed to get along very well. He also saw a fat orange cat lying on the back of a golden retriever with a melancholy look on its face.

"As for adoption, it's mainly for stray cats or dogs that some kind-hearted people rescue at their own expense. Our hospital can adopt them depending on the situation. Or, some animals have contracted diseases and their original owners no longer want them, so we have two that are temporarily staying at our hospital."

"Abandonment..."

"That's so unfair..."

Natsuki Aoi looked at the words on Rina's writing board, then gently patted her head.

"Is there an Akita Inu named Yoshi-chan here?"

"Yes, we do have them, but that one isn't available. A female customer has already reserved it, and it will be adopted in about two weeks."

"Okay, can you tell me about the dog?"

"Hmm, that's fine." The male caregiver looked around but didn't see it. He searched the entire room and finally found it under a plush toy. After being discovered, it seemed a little excited, lying on the floor and crawling around on all fours, "imitating" a diving dog.

Rina was a little scared when she saw such a big dog, and hid behind Aoi Natsuki, only showing one eye.

The male caregiver squatted down and simply beckoned. The Akita Inu ran over and then rubbed its head against her palm contentedly, looking very pleased.

"Don't worry, Ji-chan is very well-behaved."

Natsuki Aoi also gently pushed Rina's back.

Lina nodded, carefully walked around from behind him to the front, and stood in front of the Akita Inu. She simply extended a finger and gently tapped its head.

The Akita Inu stuck out its tongue, let out a whimper, and wagged its tail excitedly.

Rina glanced back at Aoi Natsuki, then became even bolder, reaching out to stroke the Akita Inu's back. The soft texture of its fur surprised her so much that she opened her mouth.

Their relationship quickly warmed up.

Then let Rina play here, while Aoi Natsuki went to the side with the male nurse to find out what was going on.

"When this dog was found by a kind-hearted person, it had a very serious skin disease and ear problems. The normal treatment cost would probably be four or five thousand. At that time, our hospital was discussing whether to euthanize it. Then a female client appeared. She not only paid the treatment costs but also planned to adopt it. Thinking about it, Ji Jiang is really lucky to have met her."

"Yes."

They come to visit every now and then, so it seems they really want to adopt it.

"But now that you mention it, it seems like quite a long time has passed. What's the reason you haven't adopted it yet?"

"Let me think about it." The male caregiver was completely unguarded and frankly said, "It seems that she said she doesn't allow dogs at home, and she plans to set up a doghouse for it elsewhere."

"That's really inconvenient."

"There's nothing we can do. You can tell she really wants to keep Ji-chan, so we can only take it one step at a time." The male caregiver shrugged and then introduced the other small animals.

Lina was a little scared at first, but she quickly got used to it and became friends with the animals.

Aoi Natsuki looked after things like a caregiver, and after learning some details, he prepared to leave. But just then, the door to the outer room opened.

Someone who shouldn't be here has appeared.

Mitsu Takahashi.

is that a lie!

How could she be here!

He had specifically asked Hayakawa about this, and Takahashi Mito always came to visit him on Friday after school every week. So he specially chose Wednesday today, but he never expected to meet her here!

"You, you! What are you doing here?!"

Mito Takahashi pointed at him and shouted.

Natsuki Aoi was speechless.

The male caregiver looked the two of them up and down: "Are you two friends?"

"No way! Who's friends with him!"

"We're just classmates."

"That's someone I know! What a coincidence!" The male caregiver clasped his hands together in surprise.

"This male customer also wants to adopt a small animal."

"You?" Takahashi Mito's eyes were filled with hostility. She didn't believe such words and even began to doubt his motives.

But then she heard Ji-chan's voice. Turning around, she saw a cute little girl squatting next to Ji-chan. She had shoulder-length short hair and a particularly healing smile.

For a moment, he forgot about Aoi Natsuki's existence and walked straight up to her.

When Rina saw someone coming, she still ran back to Aoi Natsuki's side with some vigilance and leaned against his waist.

Takahashi Mito looked at him with a very suspicious look, without saying a word, but her eyes seemed to be saying, "Could this girl be someone you kidnapped?"

"Don't look at me like that, okay? Can't I have such a beautiful distant relative?"

"Hmph, then you must look like a genetic mutation."

"Hey! No personal attacks, okay?"

Mito Takahashi looked disdainful and continued to look after Yoshi-chan. Her mood improved significantly when she interacted with Yoshi-chan; she really treated the dog better than the person.

"Lina, don't be afraid. That's my classmate. He's a bit hot-tempered!" His voice suddenly rose eight octaves, and Takahashi Mito's fierce gaze returned. Then he changed the subject, "But he's kind-hearted. Go play with your sister."

After hearing this, Lina still wanted to believe what Natsuki said, picked up the writing board on the ground, and carefully walked over.

Seeing this, Takahashi Mito was a little puzzled. When she saw Aoi Natsuki walk away and chat with the caregiver, she asked, "Little girl, what are you doing with that writing board in your hand?"

"Ah-woo, ah-woo," Lina mumbled something, then wrote a line on the writing board with her pen.

"I can't speak."

Looking at the neat handwriting and the meaning of the words, Mito Takahashi was deeply moved and felt a pang of sadness. Her eyes softened considerably.

Is that guy really your relative?

Lina continued writing.

"Yes! Natsuki is a good person."

Erase it and continue writing.

He taught me many words.

Then I wiped it off.

"My older sister seems to really dislike Natsuki."

"Well..." Takahashi Mito didn't know how to answer the question directly, so she simply said, "It's actually a psychological issue for my sister; she's very resistant to men."

"Even Natsuki?"

"He... is a strange guy. Come to think of it, he's probably the most annoying guy I've ever met," Takahashi Mito said bluntly.

"But Natsuki is really nice!"

"Um, sometimes I think he doesn't seem like a bad person. Okay, let's not keep bringing him up. I heard you're here to adopt some animals today, right? How about I introduce you to them?"

Mito Takahashi has absolutely no resistance to cute children, and her tone is exceptionally gentle.

Rina nodded heavily, then took Takahashi Mito's hand, with Yoshi-chan following behind, and the two of them went to look at other small animals elsewhere.

Chapter 23 The Divine Girl's "Advice"

When Aoi Natsuki returned, Rina had already become friends with her and they were playing around together. He glanced at his phone and realized it was time to go back.

When Li urged her to hurry, she obediently walked back to his side, but still somewhat reluctantly.

Mito Takahashi's gaze was still filled with displeasure, but he was used to it. After understanding the situation, he was also preparing to take Rina home.

But just then, Lina's little hand grabbed his.

?

Natsuki Aoi looked down and saw Rina writing rapidly on the writing board.

"Can I have a dog...?"

When she turned the writing board over, her whole face became tense, and she hunched her back little by little, hiding behind the writing board.

Aoi Natsuki was also slightly taken aback, after all, she had explained the plan to Rina before coming out today, and what was happening now was not in the plan.

"You live in an apartment building, right? You should be able to keep pets there, right?"

Mito Takahashi also asked two questions in a row.

Aoi Natsuki was surprised that she would ask her a question at this moment, and then said, "Well, it's just..."

"What's so great about it? Aren't you an elder? This young girl wants to have a pet, can't you give her a happy childhood?" Takahashi Mito, who had been hesitant, finally made up her mind, stood up, and walked step by step to him.

"There are many benefits to having a pet, you...you'd better consider it."

This kind of assertive yet pleading attitude is truly unique.

However, seeing such an expression on such a beautiful face is sure to appeal to many men.

After thinking for a moment, Natsuki Aoi still wanted to confirm Rina's thoughts: "Does Rina really want to have a pet? All the things that follow can be quite complicated, especially since I'm rarely home these days."

"You two are living together now?!" Takahashi Mito exclaimed in shock.
