Aragaki Jun handed her the menu. The wild cat-like girl flipped through it for a long time and finally ordered only an omelette rice.
"..."
Aragaki Jun glanced at her, took the menu, and ordered food for the table.
Takada Mitsuru sat uneasily in the chair, her ten fingers tangled into a knot.
"I ordered... I ordered too much."
"Eat more. Only by eating more can people live well."
Aragaki Jun didn't say anything else, but just kept putting all kinds of food on the girl's plate and showing off very quickly.
Although Takada Mitsuru was very hungry, she didn't eat much and her plate was still full after she was full.
"I'm stuffed."
"Eat more. You look so thin."
"Really... I can't eat anymore."
“There are still so many left.”
"You pinched it..."
The wild cat girl grumbled softly, her tone full of grievance. Aragaki Jun glanced at her and brought her plate to him.
Then, in front of the girl's shocked gaze, Aragaki Jun not only emptied his plate, but also ate up all the other food on the table.
"I'm full and satisfied~"
"..."
Mitsuru Takada shrank in her chair, somewhat suspecting that Aragaki was just a greedy evil ghost, and that his human appearance was just a disguise.
Aragaki Jun leaned comfortably in the chair, asked the waiter to clean the table, and ordered two large servings of ice cream.
"As you can see, I am a big eater. Giving you an extra pair of chopsticks is as easy as raising a kitten."
"Eh? Don't you want to explain..."
Takada Mitsuru wanted to know more about her mother's story, but she didn't expect him to abruptly change the topic here.
However, Aragaki Jun did not intend to give her time to think, and stared at her with great pressure:
"I can see that you are not doing well. Are your relatives abusing you?"
"No, they just... don't like me."
"Today, are you running away from home? What are your plans for the future? Going back? Or becoming a girl in waiting for God?"
"No, I...I don't know what to do."
"What about me? We elders have a friendship and an agreement. I think I'm pretty trustworthy. What do you think?"
Aragaki Jun didn't say a word about taking her home, but every word he said reminded her that she had no choice but him.
There was a thunderstorm outside the window. The girl's gray hair was soaked with water vapor. She sat upright in the chair, her head lowered, her fists clenched on her knees, and tears fell on her arms.
"Please...please help me."
"Speak louder, how can I help you?"
Aragaki Jun turned on the recording function of his mobile phone and placed it on the table without any concealment.
Takada Mitsuru had prepared for the worst before, and now she had made up her mind:
"Until I can support myself without relying on others, please give me a place to stay!"
"I can eat, I don't eat much, and I'm very quiet. I... am also willing to give my body to you to do whatever you want with."
"As long as I graduate from high school, I can go out to work. I will pay you back every penny you spend, plus interest!"
The wild cat girl longs for a place to live, even if it is just to shelter from the wind and rain, she is willing to pay any price.
She has really had enough of being driven away, abandoned, and unable to return home!
"Takada Mitsuru, I heard your wish and I am willing to accept it."
Aragaki Jun didn't laugh because his plan was successful. He looked at the girl seriously and stretched out his clenched fist in front of him:
"So—will you be part of my family?"
"I...will."
Takada Mitsuru's small body trembled, and her delicate fingers clenched into fists, which touched Aragaki Jun's fist.
"The contract is concluded! Congratulations, Takada Mitsuru has become your family member."
"You have gained the ability "Financial Management LV1"; attribute points +1; skill points +1; entanglement +10."
Looking at the system prompts, Aragaki Jun felt a little excited. Ten days after traveling to this world, his system was finally usable.
"Aragaki Jun"
【Strength: 7】
[Agility: 8]
[Physique: 7]
【Spirit: 7】
【Charm】: 9
[Attribute points]: 1
[Skill Points]: 1
【Entangled Fate】:10
『Battle Intuition』: Detect enemy attacks in advance.
"Financial Management LV1": 5000 yen per day.
Because Takada Mitsuru was around, Aragaki Jun was not in a hurry to study the system. He accompanied the girl to finish eating ice cream, and the atmosphere between the two eased.
The wild cat girl was not so nervous at this time. Although she did not dare to take the initiative to talk to Aragaki Jun, her voice was much louder when she replied.
Needless to say, the relationship between the two was settled. Aragaki Jun did not talk much, but asked about the girl's current situation.
"My guardian, and still... my uncle. He... isn't a very bad person, just... not very kind."
"No need to hide it. I can tell from your expression that the facts are completely different, if not completely different."
Aragaki Jun did not ask about the inside story and tear open the wound in the girl's heart. He just wanted her to make up her mind and choose his side:
"We are the same age, so I can't possibly get your custody. It will be easy for him to do anything he wants in the future. Do you understand?"
"I see."
"I hope you understand. Don't let me spend all my energy raising you. It would be ridiculous if I were arrested by the police and put on trial again."
"No, I promise!"
"What can you promise? Promise that he won't be blinded by lust and make a choice that will destroy you? Or promise that with your testimony, I won't have to go to jail?"
Aragaki Jun's words were frank and calm. Takada Mitsuru recalled her uncle's behavior and shuddered unconsciously.
"Mr. Aragaki Jun, do you have a solution?"
"Don't use honorifics, just call me normally."
Aragaki Jun did not reply immediately, but turned to look out the window. The rain covering the sky did not stop and lightning still flashed from time to time between the clouds.
After a brief silence, Takada Mitsuru finally made up her mind to go all out and give up the place she could never return to:
"Aragaki-kun, I'll do anything if you need me to!"
"Then let's go, take advantage of this heavy rain and go to your uncle's house for the last time."
Chapter 3 She Says Goodbye to the Past
The rain was pouring down and the umbrella was swaying like a boat. Takada Mitsuru hid beside Aragaki Jun and returned to the place where she escaped.
"Hold my phone and don't close the door."
"Ah."
The girl nodded vigorously, left the umbrella and ran towards the gate. Her clothes were completely wet and she looked like a pitiful kitten.
Not long after I rang the doorbell, a man with a gloomy face and reeking of alcohol opened the door.
When he saw the wild cat-like girl, Takada Keiji immediately smiled, and his tone revealed the pride of his successful plan:
"Huh~ Are you back? Have you thought it through?"
"..."
Mitsuru Takada didn't say anything, but walked silently into the entrance and blocked the gap in the door with her slippers.
It was rainy and the lights were not on, so the room was particularly dim. The girl turned on the recording function on her mobile phone and walked into the living room carefully.
——As long as she can record the evidence of her uncle's crime and have the leverage to check and balance him, she can be free.
In this desperate situation, the method given by Aragaki Jun is the only option.
She was...sinking into hell.
As long as someone is willing to give her a hand, she is willing to accept it no matter what the cost.
The wild cat girl sat on the sofa, her body shaking uncontrollably because of the cold and fear.
"Uncle, please...let me go."
"Huh? After being out in the rain all day, are you still so naive?"
The drunken man was no longer willing to hide his desire. She came back in such a miserable state, wasn't it because she had nowhere else to go?
Right now, she has basically accepted it. It's clearly food on the plate, but she's still pretending to resist. Really——
It’s really unbearable!
"..."
Takada Mitsuru was thinking about how to get the question, but she didn't expect the man opposite her to suddenly stand up and walk towards her reeking of alcohol!
