Chapter 45 [Using Money to Treat Fear]
"Actually, there are other factors that make me feel scared."
Agatsuma Sayuri calmed herself down, gently wiped the tears from her face with the handkerchief provided by Hagiwara Kenji, and then slowly spoke.
She brushed her right hand across her chest, removed the chip from a piece of decoration on her chest, and showed it to Kenji Hagiwara.
"Your classmate, I mean, Rei Furuya, gave this to me at the banquet. Before that, I saw him and others calling each other code names for drinks."
Agatsuma Sayuri said that Furuya Rei gave her the chip as a code member of the organization, but she was frightened last night and forgot about it.
As a result, Zi Anliang did not mention this matter to her. It was not known whether Jiang Gu Ling had not had time to inform him or they had other arrangements.
"My house is so easy to break into. If this thing is important, it won't be safe here."
Logically, as an ordinary person, Agatsuma Sayuri shouldn't be noticed by the strange people wandering in the darkness. However, if she were often around members with code names like Bourbon, Scotland, and Rye, it was hard to say whether these people would attract malicious attention.
The last time Sayuki was broken into by my wife's housekeeper, there were traces left. This time, only traces remain, and the identity of the intruder remains unknown. Furthermore, given that Sayuki obtained the mysterious chip around the same time, it's hard to argue that there's no connection between the two.
Because my wife Sayuri did not share the information with Koyasu Ryo in time, Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was also an undercover Japanese public security agent at the source of the chip, was unable to make appropriate arrangements. Otherwise, it would not be my wife Sayuri's turn to solve the problem of the placement of this thing by herself.
"But if I keep it here, what if Kofuruya or Komorobushi want to take it back?"
My wife, Sayuri, has the unfazed composure of a dead pig. She shrugged, "If we're out and about, I'll just say I don't have it with me and I'll bring it to him next time. If we're at home, I'll just say I hid it somewhere secret and I have to go get it myself."
It's just a way to buy time. The thing is not with her and is not at home. They can't find it themselves. Even if they don't believe what my wife Sayuri said, there's nothing they can do.
That being said, if the information in the chip is extremely important, then this slight delay may affect the life safety of the undercover agents in the organization, or make their hard work and sacrifice go to waste.
Therefore, whenever she had the chance, Agatsuma Sayuri would take the things to the place where the information was most likely to be deciphered, Agatsuma's home.
Agatsuma Sayuri didn't know who the talented people were in Agatsuma's family, but she knew that Hiroki Kashimura was one of them. If he couldn't decipher the information in the chip, then it would take the public security a long time to decipher it.
Kenji Hagihara did not delay. After receiving the chip, he immediately started making calls to contact members of my wife's family.
My wife Sayuri can't always go to my wife's ancestral home, but Hagiwara Kenji can.
"Kosayuri, are you going to wait for me to go back and let everyone verify the information in the chip before going back, or are you going to go back and wait for my information first?"
The difference between the two is not that big, it just depends on how much time my wife Sayuri spends at home alone.
The girl thought about the computer that someone had opened, and swallowed the words she wanted to say back. She said, "Didn't Mr. Hagiwara say before that my wife's family could provide accommodation... Mr. Hagiwara?"
Agatsuma Sayuri was halfway through her words when she saw Hagiwara Kenji's smile stiffen, and then she became aggrieved and angry, and could not continue.
"Mr. Hagiwara...?" Hagiwara Kenji looked at the girl accusingly, his watery eyes almost shedding tears.
Just a name was enough to shock the 26-year-old boy. He looked like he was going to cry if he didn't change his words.
My wife Sayuri opened her mouth, smiled awkwardly and changed the address back to "Hagiwara".
In fact, according to Japanese customs, girls like Agatsuma Sayuri, who are younger than Hagiwara Kenji, usually address each other with honorifics.
Only when the relationship becomes close may it be possible to change it to "Higawara" or even "Kenji" or other nicknames, just like Hagiwara Kenji calls Matsuda Jinpei "Little Jinpei".
Agatsuma Sayuri doesn't remember the original owner's interactions with Hagiwara Kenji, and always prefers honorifics among several ways of addressing them.
She explained half apologetically and half innocently, "Actually, I'm more familiar with the nickname Matsuda Jinpei gave you..."
After all, in previous fan fiction, when it comes to Jinpei Matsuda referring to Kenji Hagiwara, it is almost always "hagi" - unless their relationship is different from that in the original work.
Authors who write and draw their own stories and comics, and also accept manuscripts, will inevitably develop this stereotype after reading a lot of this kind of fan fiction. If you don't restrain your subconscious behavior, you will use the most respectful and unfamiliar way to address others.
Making Hagiwara happy was as easy as Hagiwara making others happy. The young man immediately smiled brightly and said that he should be called "hagi".
Agatsuma Sayuri turned the two notes in her mouth for a long time, and then shouted "Hagi" under the other party's encouraging eyes.
So Kenji Hagiwara really was like a sunflower, spreading the sun while floating away.
It's enough to see how happy a title can make him.
My wife Sayuri felt a little embarrassed. She didn't do anything, but Hagiwara Kenji actually cared about the name she called him.
Just hearing the name made her so happy that my wife Sayuri felt that Hagiwara Kenji was deliberately conveying emotional value to her.
"A name of endearment coming from me isn't worth being so happy about..."
The girl denied herself in her heart, but she was very happy to bring happiness to the other person just by talking.
Just because of this interruption, my wife Sayuri was unable to tell Hagiwara Kenji about her plan to arrange for someone to take her to see a few houses. Now she could only sit in the private room, not knowing what to do.
Not long after Hagiwara Kenji left, the waiter arrived with a fresh round of tea and snacks. Seeing my wife, Sayuri, looking bored, he politely asked, "You're a VIP customer of our restaurant. Here's your card. It entitles you to a variety of special services."
Then he unfolded a brochure and flipped through the pages. "There's a free buffet for SVIP customers on the second floor, featuring Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and other international cuisines, including but not limited to stir-fries, steamed dishes, noodles, noodle soups, sushi, barbecue, hot pot, and more."
"There's a massage room, sauna, and hot springs on the 4th floor, and a swimming pool and water park on the 5th and 6th floors. If you need them, we can prepare swimsuits, toiletries, and other items for you. We also provide storage, maintenance, and updates, and they'll be stored in your room."
"My room?" My wife, Sayuri, repeatedly examined the card the waiter handed her. Aside from the gold foil, it looked like a regular hair salon top-up card. It was the "room" mentioned that caught her attention, since she was currently struggling with her housing needs.
"Yes, every sVIP customer has his or her own room in our store. Would you like to take a look?"
"Free use?"
"Yes, your sVIP card allows you to use this room for free for life."
Needless to say, this must have been prepared for her by Kenji Hagiwara who had just left.
Having overheard her mention of accommodation, I hurriedly prepared temporary accommodation for her. Even if Hagiwara Kenji couldn't complete his chip research today, my wife Sayuri could stay at the hotel temporarily.
Or, live here as your own home.
To be honest, my wife's family's property could have been used by my wife Sayuri as her own home.
But if my wife Sayuri can use my wife's family's property, why should she still live in an unsafe little house? Wouldn't it be better to move back to the ancestral home?
【Hagiwara must have thought about how to explain it, right?】
In short, my wife Sayuri can indeed enjoy a five-star experience before Ryo Koyasu returns.
Without going to the other floors recommended by the service staff, my wife Sayuri just took off her makeup and took a bath in the room that was said to be hers alone.
The water temperature that was just right and the water massage from the surf jets brought out the fatigue from not sleeping all night and the soreness from practicing basic karate skills the day before.
My wife Sayuri fell asleep almost as if her hand was touching the pillow, and she couldn't even straighten herself into the quilt.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
My wife, Sayuri, was still wondering why Zi Anliang hadn't seen her or called her when he arrived at her house. She reached for her phone and pressed it for a long time, but it didn't light up. Well, the battery had died.
My wife, Sayuri, had no choice but to call room service and ask for a charging cable to charge her phone. Then she hurriedly put on her makeup again to make herself look beautiful again.
After charging the phone for ten minutes, my wife, Sayuri, wanted to call Ryo Koyasu. As soon as she turned on the phone, dozens of call logs popped up.
Including messages and emails, Zian Liang achieved 99+ achievements alone.
My wife Sayuri immediately sensed something was wrong and was about to call back when a new call came in.
The name displayed is, of course, still Zian Liang.
The hand that pressed the answer button was shaking a little. "Hello... Liang. My phone is out of battery. I slept all afternoon and just realized..."
"..." A clear exhalation sound came from the other end of the phone, and Zian Liang looked relieved.
When he spoke again, his voice was filled with suppressed indifference, yet his worry was evident in his words: "I thought you were kidnapped by a burglar."
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
"I'm glad you're okay."
The crisp sound of a lighter lighting up appeared in the background of the phone. Judging from the distance, it should be Zian Liang who lit the lighter himself.
Although she didn't see Zi Anliang smoking in front of her, the occasional smell of cigarettes proved that he must have a smoking habit.
Now, I'm afraid he's just smoking.
A slightly more ambiguous voice sounded, "Where did you go to sleep? A friend's house?"
"Ah, no, it's... 'Mori Yuya'." My wife Sayuri couldn't remember the name of the hotel immediately, and she found it by looking through the notice on the table.
This should be a well-known old store. As soon as Agatsuma Sayuri mentioned the name, Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately knew the location.
"Then you stay there and I'll come pick you up... No, forget it. Do you have everything with you? It's best to stay there tonight and for the rest of the day."
I didn't expect my boyfriend to say such a thing. My wife Sayuri no longer had to think of a reason to leave the rental house, and she was very happy.
However, she was hesitant. "The price per night here is not cheap."
Koyasu Ryo couldn't possibly know that my wife Sayuri had an SVIP card for such a high-end hotel. So, a girl who had been so poor not long ago that she had to live in a pigeon coop had finally improved her living quarters. And then, when something happened, she actually had enough money to live in a hotel permanently. It was unbelievable no matter how you think about it.
Without exposing my connection with my wife's family, financial pressure is also a practical issue that must be considered.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the money."
Putting aside the question of whether it was reliable for Morobushi Kagemitsu to use a pseudonym to become a couple with my wife Sayuri, just this one responsible statement is enough to kill 90% of the men today.
And Agatsuma Sayuri knew that he really had the ability to solve the problem of funding shortage.
