I went all in on Group C

There was no way. If he knew that Toyokawa Shoko left with her father, he would definitely have judged that it was definitely an adult's problem, but he didn't know.

Therefore, for this situation, Ito Kaiji has no good solution for the time being. This knot can only be resolved by the Toyokawa family, and it is impossible for outsiders to solve it.

He could only do his own thing first, gather other band members, and make money first.

.........The carriage returned to silence, and neither of them had the desire to continue speaking. For a moment, the air conditioning in the subway seemed to become even colder.

The coldness was in sync with Shoko Toyokawa's fluctuating mood and the fatigue from a day's work, making him feel like a person who was about to freeze to death in the snowy mountains. Although he knew he couldn't sleep, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't resist the urge to sleep.

The hand holding the pull ring began to become weak. Under normal circumstances, Ito Kaiji would have said something to let her sleep well first and he would wake her up when the time came.

Sadly, this is the wrong option.

After all, up to this point, Shoko Toyokawa had no intention of introducing herself.

From her perspective, the two people didn't even know each other's names.

It can be seen that she now has a strong sense of self-protection.

Once she said that, even if she believed that Ito Kaiji's suggestion was well-intentioned, she would definitely choose to refuse and force herself to cheer up.

The correct option is...

"Speaking of which, the weather is nice today."

Yes, meaningless small talk.

Just keep the conversation going.

And Toyokawa Shoko also realized the reason why Ito Kaiji suddenly started chatting, and responded with gratitude in her heart. Until she got off the station, she couldn't even remember what she had just talked about.

It just feels like... I'm back to the days when I was still carefree.

So before the subway door closed, she showed the most standard etiquette and spoke to her new friends in the subway as she did before.

"My name is Toyokawa Shoko, I wish you a safe journey and a good sleep."

As the subway's doors were about to close, she heard Kaiji Ito's name and his blessings to her.

In a trance, she had a feeling, a feeling of wanting to get back on the train.

Otherwise, something even more tragic will happen next.

But her reason made her choose to give up, knowing that it was just an illusion caused by the surrounding environmental factors and the good atmosphere just now.

She just... wanted to escape reality.

So when the subway door closed, she even felt that the train leading to the human world had closed its door to her, leaving her in hell.

Even so, she still set out on her journey home.

I reunited with my father, who had made some money from gambling all day thanks to newbie's luck and announced that he had found a job. He was in a very good mood and even brought back some desserts.

This gave Shoko Toyokawa an idea.

Maybe today is her lucky day?

He met a good predecessor in life, avoided various crises that were unavoidable, and even his father began to cheer up.

Things will definitely get better and better in the days ahead!

His mentality is exactly the same as that of Kaiji Ito who decided to go all in before.

............................................

the next day.

After a good sleep last night, he was full of energy and met up with Nagasaki Suyo on time today. Ito Kaiji, who was eating a delicious sandwich, hesitated for a long time and finally gave up telling her about his encounter with Toyokawa Shoko yesterday.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Even if Nagasaki Suyo was a judge, after hearing about what the other party had encountered, he could do nothing but worry.

It might even lead to the failure of the next mission to persuade Takamatsu Deng to come back, which would be courting death, so unfair.

"There's still a lot, Kaisi-kun, it's okay if you eat a little more."

Seeing Ito Kaiji enjoying the food with great joy, Nagasaki Suyo felt that all the hard work she had done since early morning was worth it at this moment.

What I mean is, waking up alone, eating takeout that you don't know whether to call breakfast or lunch, and having no idea what to do next, this is not a human life.

The only pity was that my mother left home before daybreak, even though I left her a bank card that seemed to have a lot of money in it.

But compared to money, she actually expected her mother to sit at the table and eat breakfast with her at this moment.

"Then give me another one!"

"Hi hi~"

.......Now, it’s pretty good.

While drinking the soy milk brought by Ito Kaiji, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but think so.

020Enjoy the present moment

...........Unconsciously, he ate so much that his stomach was about to explode. Lying on the sofa, Ito Kaiji couldn't help but speak to Nagasaki Suyo who was washing dishes in a very worried tone.

"Su Shi-sang, you've really put me through so much trouble. Since yesterday's dinner, I've been eating such delicious food. What if you spoil my appetite?"

".......Kaisi-kun, don't you want to eat what I cook anymore?"

For some reason, although Nagasaki Motoyo's voice sounded quite natural, Ito Kaiji felt that it made him feel more uncomfortable than her usual slightly strained tone.

how to say......

Feeling a little resentful?

Tsk tsk tsk, now it’s a ghost knocking on the door.

Because he had to hide the information about Toyokawa Shoko from Nagasaki Motoyo, he became suspicious and actually had this unreliable illusion.

I took a look at Nagasaki Suyo's stock which had been rising since it opened in the morning.

In just a short time coming here this morning, he had already earned several hundred yen with yesterday's travel expenses and the dividends from the daily limit as capital, so he also bought a few cups of soy milk.

It has to be admitted that Ito Kaiji's action was selfish and he did it to please Nagasaki Motoyo.

It was definitely not just what he and Nagasaki Suyo said. It was just because Nagasaki Suyo said yesterday that she could make sandwiches, and she simply thought that food alone would not be enough without drink, so she bought some soy milk.

Since there is no instruction manual for his golden finger, Ito Kaiji can only guess that the stock price he sees represents the value that a person or a team can generate.

When a person is in a bad state, it will affect the value generated, and therefore lower the stock price.

In Ito Kaiji's opinion, the increase in Nagasaki Soyo's stock price would never be due to him. He did not do anything special to Nagasaki Soyo, it would be better to say that he was simply using her.

The only reason for her improvement was that she found that her teammates had cheered up, so she felt happy and no longer had her mind full of worries about them like before.

I, who am full of calculations, and she, who is so beautiful, are from two different worlds.

Sooner or later, we will go our separate ways because of our different ideals.

Kaiji Ito doesn't have the confidence to pretend to be a passionate young man all his life.

So with an indescribable emotion, he shifted his gaze to the ceiling and responded.

"I'm afraid...I won't be able to eat it anymore."

"After all, I'm just a fan. When crychic regroups, I should return to the audience where the fans belong."

Her hands were cold as she washed the dishes. Nagasaki Suyo rubbed the smooth walls of the bowl, trying to grab something, but it always slipped away due to the detergent.

Although I know that Ito Kaiji is not speaking in a metaphorical way, he is simply expressing his thoughts.

But she thought of a metaphor, a metaphor that Kaiji Ito used to explain that "he and she live in two different worlds."

After all, precisely because she had lived a hard life in the past, she knew better that the worlds two people lived in were different.

Even if he forced his way in, it would be difficult to adapt, especially since Ito Kaiji was a passionate and sincere person. It would be even more difficult for him to accept those rules and regulations called etiquette and class constraints.

She almost felt like the mask on her face was making it hard for her to breathe.

It is really irresponsible to say that he is already a member of crychic. In the end, there will definitely be no good result.

Fortunately...she is just an innocent girl now.

[As long as crychic is not resurrected, she will always be an innocent girl].

Don't think about those practical problems.

He turned off the faucet and asked in a slightly pinched tone.

"Kaiji-kun, do you mean to drink the miso soup I make for the rest of your life?"

This sentence, which is second only to "The night is so beautiful" in Japan, made Ito Kaiji burst out laughing. The metaphor he said was actually regarded as a confession.

The girl named Nagasaki Suyo is so pure.

So you need to treat it well. Since you have taken advantage of this innocence, you must never let the other party realize the truth.

He simply pretended not to notice anything and shouted while giving a thumbs up nonchalantly.

"Of course I do! But can you replace the miso soup with fried chicken? I prefer that!"

Realizing that Ito Kaiji didn't understand what she meant, Nagasaki Suyo sighed with regret, as if she had seen the real wood.

But just when she was about to nod in agreement, Ito Kaiji added something in a very calm tone.

"........But thinking that way is too selfish. I can't cause trouble for Su Shi-san, so it's just a thought. If Su Shi-san takes it seriously, I will happily refuse."

"Equivalent exchange is the most basic principle. To expect Yu Shisang to spend his entire life just by empty talk is a bit ridiculous."

Looking into Ito Kaiji's eyes again, Nagasaki Suyo saw only determination, which made her recall how she was persuaded by Toyokawa Shoko's words of "community of shared destiny".

And...the scene where Shoko Toyokawa destroys everything with her own hands.

It is indeed...ridiculous.

This is common sense that even a hot-blooded idiot knows, but she actually forgot it.

When he noticed that there was something wrong with Nagasaki Suyo's expression, Ito Kaiji immediately turned his serious expression into a smile and said proudly.

"So eat more while you can!"

Although it was just a clever answer, Nagasaki Motoyo felt that it was indeed the truth.

Who can tell what will happen in the future?

Enjoying the present moment is the right way.

“…Yeah, that’s right.”

"However, my cooking skills are actually very ordinary. If Kaisi-kun finds out the truth in the future and feels regretful, I can only apologize in advance."

For some reason, Ito Kaiji felt that this sentence was a metaphor, as if Nagasaki Suyo was indicating that her current appearance was just an act.

But...how is this possible?

If she was pretending, then the happy expression on her face when she saw herself eating the sandwich could not be faked.

How could there be a complicated person who would feel happy because of other people's happiness?!

Not to mention, Nagasaki Suyo let him into her house without hesitation and even drank the soy milk he brought.

.....For a stranger of the opposite sex, what other reason could there be to do such a thing besides trust?

I can only pretend that I am still suspicious.

The guilt he felt towards Nagasaki Suyo reached a new level.

What a good person he is, why am I such a mean person, always trying to take over the heart of a gentleman with my own mean mind!

Do you really not want to admit that there are such good people in the world?

021 Almost collapsed midway

Following the literal meaning, Ito Kaiji gave his answer based on his heart.

"That day will never come. No matter how delicious the food I eat in the future, the taste of Sushisang is irreplaceable!"

"After all... even if he's the best chef in the world, he can't make me feel like I'm eating at home!"

"And he's definitely not as pretty as Su Shisang. Of the three elements of beauty, fragrance, and taste, beauty alone is unbeatable!"

It was a very simple answer, and therefore, Nagasaki Suyo didn't feel that she was flattering herself at all.

She could even give full marks to this answer.
