As Airi Yamagami pushed open the door and left, Junichi Sei slowly leaned against the soft pillows.
His index and middle fingers crossed repeatedly, tapping out a suppressed rhythm on the railing of the hospital bed.
To be honest, he had seen many women like Yamagami Airi in the news in his previous life, but this was the first time he had met one in real life.
If you're unable to raise a child, just have an abortion. As for the fear of infertility... please, women who frequent bars usually have a high chance of getting pregnant. The probability is no less than finding true love at a foot massage parlor and ending up still being a virgin!
He couldn't understand just how shameless the other party was to let someone who had just lost his father and had heavy debts take on such a project.
Could it be simply because he was an honest man in his previous life?
While sycophants certainly don't deserve sympathy, Junichi Sei cannot condone such leech-like sucking behavior.
And he still maintained that arrogant and haughty demeanor.
He said thank you, but in his heart he was filled with disgust. In the end, he couldn't even get the title of adoptive father. From that moment on, Junichi Sei had already condemned this woman to death in his heart.
"So, when the baby is born, let's give her some free publicity. I'm sure the people in the school's news club will be very interested."
"Oh, by the way, I heard that this woman's parents arranged a marriage for her when she was a child. Out of humanitarian considerations, we should also inform her fiancé, Mr. Sang. Good people should be treated kindly, shouldn't they?"
"There's no way I'll take over. On the day of delivery, I'll change all my contact information and just disappear."
But wouldn't it be a bit too bad to do that?
Junichi picked up the mirror on the cabinet. Hmm, even he couldn't see his face clearly under his bangs. So, what's the point of having a face?
However, I should still get it cut, because it will easily remind me of my kind stepmother.
You should have a bottom line, Junichi!
Instead of that, let's take a look at how to play this points system.
With that thought in mind, Junichi Sei quickly calmed down, and a light screen flashed in his mind.
Name: Junichi Se
Intelligence: 6
[Charm: Sealed Status]
[Stamina: 2]
[Dislike level: 16, Redeem/Lottery (1 time)]
[Ability: None]
(Note: 1 point of dislike = 10,000 yen. 10 points can be used for one lottery draw. Accumulated points can be exchanged for shares of any medium-sized or lower-sized company in Tokyo.)
[Ding! Confirmed exchange using 1 point of Dislike!]
Buzz buzz buzz!
Immediately afterwards, Junichi noticed a vibration coming from behind his pillow.
He took a deep breath and then pulled out the phone that was underneath.
[Kudabo Bank - Transfer Notification: Your account ending in 7764 received a transfer of 10,000 yen on May 10th at 08:51. Remaining balance: yen.]
It really works!
Upon seeing the accurate information, Junichi's heart pounded wildly, his face flushed, and his palms sweated.
It's not a dream, his good days are really coming!
The number is somewhat ironic, though; he's been a bachelor for a long time.
His predecessor must have played a lot of single-player joystick games over the years, Junichi looked down at his palm.
Sure enough, there are calluses...
Originally, Junichi's savings should have been much higher than this figure, since his father was a senior executive at a company, and his monthly allowance was generally no less than 50,000 yen.
Over the years, Junichi Sei must have accumulated at least a million yen.
Unfortunately, the original owner of this body was blinded by greed and dumped all his affections on Ai-Li, a green tea bitch, and a low-level, novice green tea bitch at that.
Anyone with a modicum of rationality could spot the clues.
Tragically, there are far too many men like Qian Qian who mistake licking for deep affection, becoming hopelessly addicted. Once they're hooked, they might even get angry if you try to persuade them otherwise.
Like a mad dog on a leash, it will bite when it gets desperate!
Therefore, Junichi Sei never felt any sympathy for such a person.
Junichi shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.
Just to be on the safe side, Sei Junichi only tried to exchange for a little bit of dislike, after all, every man has a dream of gacha pulls, and Sei Junichi is no exception.
The remaining 15 points of aversion are equivalent to 150,000 yen in savings. So, should I continue accumulating them to cover a month's mortgage payment, or should I indulge myself first?
Junichi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to wait and find out about the family's savings from his stepmother first.
The conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Airi Yamagami, and Junichi Sei hadn't had a chance to properly learn about the family situation.
Just as Junichi was about to call back the two people outside the ward, the door was pushed open.
At that moment, Junichi's smile, still tinged with the joy of being able to redeem cash for his verification points, was caught by the mother and daughter who entered.
[Ding! Hayakawa Sakuno's dislike level +5!]
Seijun was taken aback for a moment, and then saw the contemptuous curve of her stepsister's lips, the same kind of divine disdain that Tifa showed when looking at trash.
Were you overheard in your conversation?
They all got minor critical hits!
I always feel that the other person has some kind of potential, maybe I can... Wait, this is my family!
At least, this mother and daughter... he shouldn't, and he can't!
Since they are family, he still hopes to set a good example and become a successor to socialism.
Hayakawa Misae was deeply worried about her stepson's delighted expression, but since their relationship had only recently improved, she didn't know how to bring it up.
She raised her beautiful eyes several times, and the thought of her late husband's death, leaving only the sole heir of the Sei family, gave her a surge of courage.
“Junichi-kun…” Hayakawa Misae managed to squeeze out the words from her throat.
"What's wrong, Mother?" Seeing that the other person looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, Junichi Sei adjusted his facial expression.
That word "mother" seemed to give Hayakawa Misae a powerful reassurance. She took a deep breath, her breasts growing fuller, and bit her lip as she asked, "That...that child, are you really sure about it?"
Hayakawa Misae clearly wanted to act like a strict mother, but because she was too concerned about Sei Junichi's expression, her lips trembled slightly when she spoke, like a wronged young wife who knew about her husband's infidelity but dared not ask too many questions.
"What child?" Junichi Sei didn't follow the other person's train of thought.
Seeing her mother hesitate, her daughter Hayakawa Sakuno rolled her eyes and said, "Are you really planning to raise the child in Yamagami Airi's belly?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hayakawa Sakuno realized that her mother was already pulling at her arm, leaving her speechless for a while.
Please, I'm your real daughter, okay?
"Did you hear that?" Seijun asked expressionlessly.
Hayakawa Misae's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale as she said, "No...we didn't mean to eavesdrop..."
Seeing this, Hayakawa Sakuno frowned and couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of her mother.
But the next second, Junichi Segawa spread his hands and said, "It's okay if you hear it, it's not my child anyway."
Early Spring Misae became a little anxious: "Since it's not your child, then Junichi-kun, why did you agree to raise it for her?"
To everyone's surprise, Junichi changed his tune and said, "Huh? When did I agree to raise her for her?"
Hayakawa Sakuno raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Didn't you agree to let her give birth?"
Junichi Sei suddenly realized, "Oh, this was just a friendly reminder out of humanitarian concern, after all, it's a little life... However, as for who will raise it, that's naturally a question for the child's father to consider, since I'm not the one who got pregnant."
"Ah, this..." Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter were stunned. As they looked at each other, an evil thought popped into their minds.
Junichi seems to be cheating!
