Chapter 130: There is only one truth! Huh? Who is dating whom...he...
Toru Amuro, or Rei Furutani, feels that he really can't live like this anymore.
Originally, it was a good thing for him to finally see through Chaomu's "true face" - with the recording as evidence, he should finally be able to persuade his childhood friends and classmates to stay away from that white-skinned and black-skinned brat...
...But when he thought about Hiro's reaction when he told this, Furuya Rei felt even more headache.
"That kid certainly made a mistake... but using a sting operation on an innocent citizen like this is wrong, you know? Zero? Some of your words are a bit too harsh."
——Even though she had heard the recording with her own ears and seen the red marks on his wrist caused by that little brat (although they were not obvious), his childhood sweetheart was still very tolerant of her and even started to settle the score with him first.
"Of course I know her personality isn't what you'd call a good kid, but she's been raised very well in the environment she's in... Even though she might have been a bit reckless, she's done a lot of good things."
"I don't think Zero's approach is right to use this method on a child like this... Is it because the pressure is too great?"
Moruofushi Jingguang, always known for his euphemisms, rarely expressed his disapproval directly. However, at the end of his conversation, he hinted: Was Furuya Rei so stressed out by the pressure that he was wary of Asamu's presence?
Faced with Yukinen's concerns and questions, Furuya Rei was at a loss for words. Wasn't it that the brat named Asagao had been targeting him that made him feel this way? He wasn't saying Asagao was some wicked villain, but that brat was truly suspicious.
But if he really had to explain it in detail, aside from the inexplicable "Dad's Life" incident and the robbery of his wallet in this recording, Furuya Rei couldn't offer any specifics. After all, in the full recording, he did say some... inappropriate things, which looked like a sting operation.
His previous competition with the ladies was all within reasonable limits. After all, he was the one who stole their jobs first...
Even Rei Furuya himself found it difficult to explain why he was so wary of Asamura. Could it be, as Hiro said, that he was so paranoid because of the pressure he was under while working in the organization?
Sometimes, he also wondered if he cared too much about that strange girl, otherwise he wouldn't have dreamed of her turning into a gray mouse and jumping onto his bed... Although there had been hamsters at home and there was indeed a hamster that had left a deep impression on him before, it was still somewhat rude to link the girl with a hamster for no reason.
After receiving a gentle reminder from Morifushi Kagemitsu, Furuya Rei spent the day adjusting his mindset, trying not to take the suspicious brat too seriously. After all, after such a long investigation, it was clear that she wasn't a bad person. Hiro's words weren't unreasonable; her sudden change that day might have been a counterattack...
He had just prepared himself mentally when he received a message from Hiro that night, in which he learned that the kid was with Hagiwara and the others that night, and even went home with Hagiwara.
Upon hearing this news, the blond youth's pupils trembled for a moment. What? He had thought that the brat would stop targeting Hagiwara after taking the money from him... Could it be that she was looking for Hagiwara to do "father work"? If she needed money, why didn't she come to him again? He had already said he could help!
"...Is there a possibility...that Kogure is still a young girl after all?" Morofushi Kagemitsu coughed at Kojinran's shock, trying not to be so blunt. "Zero's reaction yesterday might have made her a little nervous, which is why she moved in so hastily with the Hagiwara family..."
——After all, if there’s a guy living next door who tells her, “If you want to be a gigolo, just calling me daddy isn’t enough,” it’s normal for a girl to feel insecure, right?
Jianggu Ling: "…………?"
It was the kid who said he wanted to move into his house...how did it become his fault? That's not right, is it?
But he also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him: If he had directly agreed to let Chaomu live in his house, would she not have set her sights on Hagiwara?
Once this idea came to mind, the more Rei Furuya thought about it, the more he felt that it seemed to be true.
Compared to Hiro and Hagiwara, who were completely bewildered by that brat and had a mysterious filter for her, keeping Asami to himself seemed like a good choice. At least he wouldn't let that brat get any further...
With this thought in mind, Furuya Reiichi didn't sleep well that night. The next morning, he set off at dawn, intending to intercept Hagiwara Kenji before he left for work and have a proper talk with him about the morning and evening issues.
This time he was a little smarter and edited the recording a bit, at least cutting out some of his own terrible remarks and emphasizing the awful idea of a certain nasty brat who was not ambitious and wanted to take shortcuts, ensuring that Hagiwara would have the necessary defensiveness...
Everything was ready. After waiting for a while, Furuya Rei finally succeeded in waiting for his target in the parking lot. He hurriedly intercepted Hagiwara Kenji and said, "So, Hagiwara, what on earth were you thinking? You actually let a girl live in your house... Do you know what that guy was thinking?"
At first, Kenji Hagiwara didn't understand how this colleague, who was on a special mission and had been missing for a long time, could suddenly appear at his doorstep. Only when he heard him mention Chaomu's name did he understand.
...Speaking of which, it seems like Kofuku has always been wary of Ko Asamure, and he's mentioned this numerous times during their previous encounters... But he said it was Morobushi Kagemitsu who told him... What's going on here? Did Ko Morobushi run into them somewhere last night?
"Although I can't say I know everything about him, I do know Xiao Chaomu fairly well..." Although his friend's reminder was probably out of concern, the young man with half-long hair couldn't help but cough lightly, "But, I've been a little curious before..."
"Little... This Mr. Amuro seems to be just a rival of Little Asagure? Why are you so concerned about her schedule... Aren't you supposed to be very busy with your work...?"
Hagiwara Kenji also knew his friend from the same period well. Wasn't Rei Furuya a super-hardworking workaholic? How could he have the time to care about all this? He wasn't close to Asagiri either... Even though Asagiri used to constantly complain about her evil little dark face, Furuya wouldn't hold a grudge against her, right?
The blond young man was slightly taken aback by his question, then decisively ignored the question and took out a recorder: "That's not the point - the point is, you don't completely understand Hagiwara, right? Listen to this recording first. I just found out that I'm her neighbor, and as soon as we met, she made that terrible request..."
“The point is, where the money is, there’s love.”
"Can you give me 1 billion and let me live in your house?"
"In exchange, it's okay to call you dad."
In the recording, the girl's familiar voice sounded righteous and confident.
"So when will Dad send me money?"
"Hand over the money, little black face."
"Even if you called the police, there would be no evidence, right?"
The voice was indeed that familiar voice. Although the conversations sounded a bit harsh, as Hagiwara Kenji listened, he actually felt that they were words that Asamurai could say.
The other person in the recording was right in front of him. With a serious expression, she rolled up her sleeves and showed him the marks on her wrist: "You heard what that little brat said. She's not some harmless brat. I didn't give in to her demands, so she tried to grab me and steal my wallet."
"I understand how you and Matsuda feel. I don't think she's a bad person, just a kid who went astray. But because of this, you should be more cautious in this situation. At least you shouldn't let her live in your house. What if she really thinks of taking shortcuts—"
The blond young man looked like an unlucky passerby who came to complain to the parents about being bullied by a naughty kid. Hagiwara Kenji should have comforted him helplessly as he did in the past and told him that there was probably some misunderstanding - after all, Hagiwara himself could hear that the edited recording was not very coherent, and Kofuku must have said something to Ko Asamure in the middle, which led to the conversation developing to the ending.
While Furuya Rei seems to be targeting Asami, his words are more about protecting his peers and worrying about young girls. This kind of problem is not a misunderstanding that is difficult to explain, so just explain it clearly.
But Hagiwara Kenji's voice just got stuck in his throat.
His gaze lingered on the other person's dark-skinned wrist, where there was indeed a shallow, inconspicuous red mark.
A sudden thought popped into his mind. He looked at the trace and asked, as if compelled by a strange feeling: "Was this recording made the night before last? Did Xiao Jiangu run into Xiao Chaomu that night... at his doorstep?"
"It was the night before last—that brat came to you seamlessly the day after she asked me to take her in." Speaking of this, Furuya Ling felt his teeth itching. "I really don't understand what that brat was thinking. I clearly offered to help if there were any difficulties..."
His sincere complaints gradually faded, and he looked at his colleague suspiciously: "... Hagiwara? Hagi? Why are you looking at me like that..."
Cat... Xiao Yugu seems to be a cat type; the "not very obedient" part may also refer to the fact that the other party is unwilling to take her home honestly, or it may refer to the competition between them...
The semi-long-haired young man's purple eyes stared at him quietly, scanning from top to bottom, from left to right, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Occasionally he gets angry and bites people" seems to fit the description. Plus, Kouya is really good at dressing up now. He looks like he's learned the honey trap and is good at coaxing girls...
Neighbors...living under the same roof, can also be called "house cats".
Almost all the conditions seemed to fit perfectly, and Hagiwara Kenji's eyes gradually became sharper.
But why did Furuya Rei have such a connection with Asamu? Why would he flirt with a girl while he was on an undercover mission? And wasn't she always wary of Asamu? She'd even warned them repeatedly to be careful...
He didn't think that his good friend was the kind of scum who played with girls, but he just felt that the other party's actions were a little too subtle.
"So... in what capacity are you giving me this advice, Kougu?" Although he already had a guess in his mind, Hagiwara maintained his composure and asked calmly, "If you were dating Kougu or had a close relationship with Kougu, and you're only temporarily apart because of a quarrel or disagreement, you could have told me openly and asked me to stay away from the girl you like, or you could have just found Kougu and asked her to go back with you..."
"But you had to go through so much trouble, come up with so many excuses, and try to persuade me from the sidelines... This isn't like you, is it?"
Jianggu Ling: "…………?"
Even after infiltrating the Black Organization and becoming Bourbon, he was no longer the police academy student who showed his emotions on his face, but at this moment, the blond young man still had a rather confused expression on his face.
Huh? Who's dating who... him and Chaomu?
From what Hagiwara said, it seemed like he came to Hagiwara to protest because he was jealous... Is this... is this right?
