The drunk man straightened his neck, picked up another chair, strode to Baichuanze, and raised his hand to smash the latter on the head.

Seeing that he couldn't reason with the other party with words, Baichuan Ze had to try another approach. He dodged the bench and kicked the other party directly in the knee.

The drunk man suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Shirakawa Ze picked up a bench and placed it hard less than ten centimeters away from the opponent's head.

The sound of the stool's four legs falling heavily to the ground sobered the drunk man up immediately. He lay on the ground, not daring to move.

After hearing his father's voice and the obvious sound of fighting, an urgent female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? What's going on over there?"

"Please find someone to explain the situation to me, thank you very much!"

After recovering from his shock, the shop owner quickly put the phone to his ear.

"Hello, there's a man here who claims to be your father. He hasn't paid for his meal and is causing trouble for other customers in the store..."

The voice on the other end of the phone couldn't wait for the boss to finish speaking and spoke directly,

"Please tell me the exact location and I'll be there right away."

After hearing the boss’s specific location, the other party hung up the phone.

The boss put away his phone and looked at Baichuanze with some apology on his face.

"I'm sorry to bother you with your meal. I'm really sorry."

Baichuan Ze waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, then sat on a stool nearby.

The boss looked at the drunk lying on the ground and didn't dare to clean up the broken chairs and tables. He could only stand beside the counter and wait quietly for the matter to be over.

About twenty minutes later, a hurried figure appeared at the door of the shop.

Long blue hair, dark green sash, washed and starched clothes, and the resolute eyes that tried to hold back the turbulent emotions in his heart...

The person who came was indeed Toyokawa Shoko.

Ugh……

Baichuanze sighed in his heart.

Although he had a premonition, he really didn't want the drunk to be Toyokawa Shoko's father.

This person's behavior was undoubtedly another powerful blow to the other party.

Seeing Shirakawa Ze sitting in the store, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, but did not show anything and continued to move her gaze.

Seeing his father lying on the ground and shouting loudly, a strong sense of shame flashed across his eyes and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly.

But she quickly controlled her emotions, walked quickly to the boss, and looked apologetic.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you."

“What do I need to pay for?”

The boss showed her the bill.

"He spent 3600 yen, and still has 3000 yen to pay."

"I just hit this guest with a stool, damaging a stool and breaking a table."

"Since you look like a student, I won't bother with you any more."

"I've used this stool for several years, so I'll charge you one-third of the original price, 500 yen."

"The table has a hole in it, not a big deal, 200 yen."

"This customer ordered an 800 yen set meal, but it was smashed before he could even finish it."

"You two should discuss this among yourselves."

"It's already late, let's finish it early and rest early."

"The total loss to the store is 3700 yen. How would you like to pay?"

Hearing this number, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment and subconsciously avoided the question.

She didn't expect that her father would have eaten up several hours' wages from her part-time job in one go.

In addition to this, another point is that I don’t have that much money on me now.

She has a small amount of money saved, but she keeps it at home and doesn't usually carry it with her.

I just carry about 1,000 yen with me every day in case of emergency.

If she was in front of strangers, she wouldn't feel too much at this moment, at most she would feel embarrassed.

But now, he was in front of classmates from the same school who knew him, and they were also classmates who knew his most beloved old teammates.

This made her feel very embarrassed and ashamed.

What made her feel most ashamed was that if she wanted to solve the problem quickly, she would have to ask this classmate for money. After all, the store owner would definitely not believe her excuse of going back to get the money first.

What was even more unbearable for her was to leave her father here and let her classmates admire his ugly drunken state for a while longer.

After a slight hesitation, Toyokawa Shoko turned her head and looked at Shirakawa Ze. Her face was not as calm as when she was facing the store owner, but rather a somewhat neither humble nor arrogant aura.

"Shirakawa-san, I don't have that much money on me right now. Could you please lend me 800 yen? I'll pay you back along with your yen when I go to school tomorrow."

Although she could have asked the other party to go home with her to get it, she gave up the idea when she thought of the rental house which was even more shaky than her dignity.

In addition, she couldn't completely trust the other party to keep the secret for her, so she couldn't reveal her current address.

Shirakawa took out 3,000 yen and placed it on the table in front of Toyokawa Shoko.

"It's 3,800 yen in total. Since you said tomorrow, I'll wait for you in the public music classroom after school tomorrow afternoon."

"Also, given your father's condition, I'm worried about whether you can carry him home."

"Why don't you hire me to carry him back for you? It's a friendly price of 100 yen."

Although what the other party said seemed to have no regard for the friendship between classmates, for Toyokawa Shoko now, what she wanted was this kind of equal communication.

She didn't want anyone, especially someone who knew her, to feel pity for her, to feel sorry for her, or to give her alms.

Although she was grateful in her heart that the other party could take care of her self-esteem, she really couldn't let the other party know her address, so she shook her head and refused.

Then she took out 700 yen, put it together with the 3,000 yen on the table and handed it to the boss.

Then she leaned over to grab her father, while trying to wake him up.

Xiang's father was not moved at all while he was sleeping. He felt his arm being grabbed and he shook it hard, causing Toyokawa Shoko to stagger.

Seeing that she couldn't wake up her father, and feeling the urging gaze of her boss, Toyokawa Shoko wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only look up at Shirakawa Ze beside her.

"Shirakawa-san, please help me take him back..."

"I'll pay you."

Baichuan Ze nodded, pulled Xiang's father up, leaned him on his shoulder, and helped him walk out.

I have to say, this guy lies at home every day and does not move, so he has a lot of fat on his body. This physique is definitely not something Xiaoxiang can move.

Toyokawa Shoko walked in front and led the way, turning her head to look at her father from time to time. As long as the other party seemed to have regained consciousness, she would immediately ask Shirakawa Ze to stop.

But unfortunately, when they got near the rental house, Xiang's father still didn't respond, and his snoring became louder and louder.

Helplessly, Toyokawa Shoko could only take Shirakawa Ze towards the rental house where she lived. After all, she couldn't pull her father away with her strength, and she couldn't leave him outside no matter what.

As she walked, she was thinking about how to prevent the other party from telling her old teammates about her situation and address.

Opening the door of the dilapidated two-story building, Toyokawa Shoko turned her head and gave Shirakawa Ze a look to follow her, then took him to the second floor.

There are four families living in this two-story building, and she and her father are just one of them.

After opening the door of her own room, Shoko Toyokawa helped Shirakawa Ze carry her father in and put him on his bed on the floor.

Although he had a rough idea of ​​what this room was like, Shirakawa Ze was still a little surprised when he actually walked into the room.

Apart from Xiang's father's messy bedding and some beer cans on the floor, the rest of the room was surprisingly tidy.

Obviously, this is the result of Shoko Toyokawa spending time cleaning and tidying up every day.

Now that I have arrived at my own residence, there is naturally no need to pay back the money tomorrow.

Toyokawa Shoko whispered a thank you, and then continued,

"Shirakawa-san, could you please wait for me downstairs?"

Baichuan Ze nodded, walked out of the two-story building and stood in the open space outside.

Not long after, Toyokawa Shoko came out and handed the 3,900 yen in her hand to the boy.

"Today's events are all thanks to Shirakawa-san."

"Thank you very much."

"I'll remember your favor."

After a pause, she spoke a little awkwardly.

"Shirakawa-san... I want to ask you one more favor..."

The girl's eyes were slightly evasive as she pondered how to speak in order to convince the other party.

Looking at the other person's expression, Baichuan Ze could probably guess what it was, so he spoke up.

"Deng-chan and the others don't know about your current situation, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

Baichuanze took the money and nodded.

"I won't tell anyone what you didn't say."

His eyes showed some reminiscence.

"I don't know what your situation is now."

"But I think we are similar in some ways."
