I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

They looked so apprehensive that they were about to bow down.

"What are you yelling for?"

Risa Yajima was somewhat annoyed by Sato's loud and boisterous behavior, which made Sato apologize repeatedly and bow repeatedly.

“Alright.” Risa Yajima sat on a bench by the roadside, watching the rolling waves, and said, “Do you know what your father has been doing lately?”

"My father?" Sato was momentarily stunned, not understanding why Risa Yajima would ask about her father.

"You can just say it."

Risa Yajima was extremely impatient.

"Oh," Sato said somewhat timidly, "My dad is still the same as before, always busy with work. He comes home very late every day."

"Hmph." Risa Yajima snorted unhappily and said to Sato, "You really went to work? You're not lying to me?"

Sato was somewhat confused about what Risa Yajima meant.

Risa Yajima sneered at Sato, "Today, while I was on my business, your father hit on me. How disgusting."

"Huh?" Sato was somewhat incredulous.

"You don't believe me?" Risa Yajima asked fiercely.

"No, no, no, I'm sorry," Sato apologized slowly and repeatedly.

Risa Yajima simply snorted: "It's in an izakaya in a residential area by the sea. You can't possibly not know that, can you?"

"what!!"

Sato exclaimed, "So this is where it is."

"You know?" Risa Yajima immediately perked up.

"Yeah, I know," Sato said. "It's because the waitresses there are very pretty, so the business is booming. My dad goes there often too, so we've been arguing a lot at home lately."

He talked on and on about these things, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

They told everything.

Risa Yajima listened until Sato changed the subject.

She then asked, "Do you know what that waitress looks like? Or do you know her name?"

"this···"

Sato hesitated; he dared not speak.

"Speak!" Risa Yajima shouted, "You don't want me to report your father for sexually harassing me, do you?"

"Harassing a high school girl can be a form of social death for an adult. You wouldn't want your father to get into trouble, would you?"

Risa Yajima is threatening.

Even if this kind of thing is fake, once it gets out, it can severely damage a working-class person's reputation.

Sato said with a hint of bitterness, "The waitress's name is Keiko. As for her appearance, I don't know anything about her, because I only heard her name from my father."

"Keiko?" Risa Yajima muttered, "Don't you know Keiko's surname?"

"I don't know." Sato quickly shook his head, afraid that Risa Yajima wouldn't believe him.

Sato could only say, "Actually, Keiko is Asahi Aoi's mother in our class. Maybe her name is Asahi too."

"Really?" Risa Yajima frowned, thinking.

“It’s absolutely true.” Sato was already swearing an oath. He said, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Natsuki Kai. He sometimes works there too.”

“Natsugiri Kai?” Risa Yajima repeated, then asked, “Do you know their phone numbers?”

"I don't know." Sato shook his head. "Everyone knows that Natsugiri Kai didn't bring her phone because she was studying. Asahi Aoi doesn't have a phone because her family is too poor."

"And what about your home address?"

Risa Yajima asked, dissatisfied.

"No, not at all."

Sato said helplessly, just as he was about to give Risa Yajima some advice.

The phone was abruptly disconnected.

Looking at his phone, he felt a mix of emotions.

He collapsed onto the bed, frustratedly sending messages to his friends.

However, after thinking about it, he called his father and told him about it.

Sato's father was furious: "How did I harass her? So many people in the store can testify to my innocence."

It took Sato a long time to explain before his father finally understood that Risa Yajima hadn't called the police.

After hearing this, Sato's father gave a few perfunctory replies and hung up the phone.

He thought about it for a moment, then sent another message to Yajima, telling him to be careful.

They are so careless in their work.

Risa Yajima pondered the relationship between Keiko, Aoi Asahi, and Kai Natsugiri.

Since Asahi's surname is Asahi, then Keiko's surname should also be Asahi.

Could it be that the person she was dating her father wasn't a waitress from this izakaya?

They just met here, and it has nothing to do with the izakaya.

Of course, there is another possibility.

—Nomura was Keiko's original surname.

Risa Yajima clenched her fist: "Aoi Asahi, you should pray that Keiko's former surname wasn't Nomura."

She was furious and wanted to find Aoi immediately to get to the bottom of things.

Neither Xia Wuzhao nor Asahi Aoi could be contacted, nor could their whereabouts be found.

"Then the only solution is to try to get help from my own father."

Risa Yajima thought, "It seems like the owner of the izakaya is hiding something. If he weren't Sato's father, the owner would probably have revealed some information."

"It seems that Sato's father is covering for him. Once he sees me, he will definitely warn his own father to be careful."

"Tonight, once I get home, my dad will definitely ask me why I came to this izakaya."

Even if my dad denies going to the izakaya, I have other ways to trick him.

As Risa Yajima thought about it, she felt a little more relaxed.

She glanced at the bright midday sun and stretched vigorously.

Holding my phone, I walked towards the station.

"I just need to wait until tonight, until my father comes home."

Chapter 47 The Silk of Light Woven by the Gods

Chibayashi Shrine is an abandoned shrine located on a low hill.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can see the winding mountain road hidden in the dense forest on both sides.

Aoi Asahi stood in the shadows and said to Natsugiri Kai, "Have you been here before?"

"No." Xia Wuzhao stood in the sunlight, looking at the hill in front of him, without any particular feeling in his heart.

"Hmm~ I knew it." Aoi's tone was somewhat cheerful as she shook the small shovel in her hand.

"Let me take you up to see what that shrine looks like."

She said this as if she were a child showing off a glass marble in her hand.

With a touch of childishness, yet she insists on putting on a sharp and mature appearance.

"Ah."

Xia Wuzhao responded.

To reach the shrine atop the hill, one must climb a stone path with several hundred steps.

Weeds and wild chrysanthemums grow in the cracks of the dilapidated stone steps, and thick moss stains the stone steps a mottled copper-green color.

Because it is just a small shrine, there are no railings or stone lanterns on either side.

Asahi was wearing tights and loafers when she started hiking, and it was fine at first. But after only fifty or so steps, the backs of her ankles were already bright red.

There was even some bleeding.

She was so happy that her loafers kept bumping and rubbing against her ankles as she went up the stairs.

Such consequences are hardly surprising.

Xia Wuzhao stopped in her tracks.

"Hmm?" Asahi Aoi stood on it, tilting her head to look at Natsugiri Kai, and said in a teasing tone, "What's wrong? Are you too tired to walk anymore after only walking for such a short time, Natsugiri Kai?"

Xia Wuzhao showed no emotion; he pointed ahead, hidden by the dense forest.

"Someone must have come down from upstairs."

He was very certain.

Aoi waited for a while, puzzled, before seeing a couple come downstairs.

This couple was different from the ones I met at the station; they looked younger, like college students.

They were also taken aback when they saw Xia Wuzhao and Asahi Aoi.

The male student kindly reminded Xia Wuzhao and her companion, "The shrine on the mountain is terribly dilapidated, and there's nothing to see there. Be careful not to make a wasted trip."

The female student gave a speechless laugh and nudged her boyfriend.

Seeing that her boyfriend still looked clueless, she muttered to herself, "When couples come to climb mountains, whether the shrine is dilapidated or not is completely unimportant."

After that was said, the boy suddenly realized what was going on.

He gave an awkward laugh before saying to Xia Wuzhao, "Actually, the scenery on the mountain is quite nice."

Seemingly realizing the huge discrepancy between his previous and subsequent answers, he gave an awkward laugh and then led his girlfriend down the mountain.

In a panic, I almost fell.

This caused the girl to complain again.

"Natsugiri Kai." After the two people left, Asahi Aoi said to Natsugiri Kai in a sharp tone, "We've been mistaken for a couple again."

But if you listen carefully, you can hear a slight tremor in his voice.

It looks like a dragonfly flapping its wings.

Natsugiri Kai didn't react at all, which made Asahi Aoi a little embarrassed and annoyed.

She looked down at Xia Wuzhao and held up a finger: "You must be very happy."

"After all, I'm a beauty today. We were even mistaken for a couple."

As she spoke, she tilted her chin slightly upward.

He seemed quite proud.

Although she pretended not to care, she kept a close eye on Xia Wuzhao's reaction.

Xia Wuzhao simply tidied up the things in her hands and the schoolbag she was carrying.

He said in a calm tone, "We can continue climbing the mountain now."

This annoyed Aoi so much that she had no choice but to walk side by side with Natsugiri Kai.

During the holiday at the end of April, in the warm midday sun of spring.

The girl was in the best mood of the day, and she had completely forgotten all the pain she had experienced earlier.

Feeling as comfortable and even happy as a newborn, she squinted her eyes.

It's as if all the unpleasantness and pain in my heart have been blown away by the warm breeze and disappeared.

This made her feel quite excited.

The girl tossed her hair and said to Xia Wuzhao, "Xia Wuzhao, I am the department head."
