A journey through the underworld, starting from the Tsubakihara family.

Page 154

These days, are there still people so eager to send their daughters away?

Seeing that he remained silent, President Ichijo became anxious and frantically tried to signal to his daughter.

Could it be... could it be that I misunderstood?

A lily received her father's anxious and urging gaze and sighed almost imperceptibly.

Like a commodity, she was repeatedly traded, and the girl's heart grew completely cold.

She walked resignedly to Jingu Makoto and bowed.

"Sir, from now on, Lily is yours."

Compared to the detestable Katsui Goro, this handsome and powerful young man in front of me is much more acceptable.

Jingu Makoto could naturally sense the profound sorrow and despair emanating from the lily.

That being the case...

Let's take this heartbroken girl in as a favor.

He suddenly reached out and gently grasped the girl's soft, fair hand.

Enveloped by that warm and strong hand, the lily was slightly stunned. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at Shingu Makoto.

Jingu Makoto didn't look at her, but instead turned his gaze to President Ichijo.

"From now on, the lily will have nothing to do with you or this home anymore."

"Understand?"

"Understood, understood! My daughter will be yours from now on!"

The president nodded repeatedly in surprise, so excited he was almost crying.

He stood there, watching Jingu Makoto leave with a lily in his hand, not daring to move an inch.

Only after the two figures had completely disappeared from sight did he dare to reach out and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

The president walked out of the office shakily, and when he saw the bodyguards lying all over the corridor, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down again.

"Where did this killing god come from? He's terrifying..."

Chapter 200 Why are you so skilled?

"Here, this is where you'll be living from now on."

Makoto Jingu brought a lily and went directly to the Yoyogi Apartment.

As for why they didn't go back to the Tsubakihara house, it's because there haven't been any spare rooms since the two little animals moved in.

"I understand, Master."

A lily stood in a brand-new and unfamiliar room, its hands nervously clasped in front of it, its heart filled with trepidation and unease.

She looked around; the room was clean and fully furnished, much better than she had imagined.

"Owner?"

Upon hearing this address, Makoto Jingu glanced at the docile young lady.

“My name is Makoto Jingu. As for how you address me, that’s up to you.”

"Okay, master."

A lily responded softly.

Although she had a good first impression of Makoto Jingu, she was, after all, given away by her father like a piece of merchandise.

She dared not have any expectations for her future and could only maintain the most cautious attitude.

"From now on, you will be the manager of this apartment building."

Jingu Makoto patted a lily on the shoulder and casually decided on her new job.

"Eh?"

The girl suddenly looked up, her pretty face filled with surprise.

After taking over the apartment, Makoto Jingu planned to convert it into a women's-only apartment.

The original plan was to have Yukino Fuyuki as the manager, but considering Yuki-onna's somewhat socially awkward personality, it would probably be difficult for her to deal with different tenants every day.

So Makoto Jingu just changed his mind.

A socialite like Lily should have received training in interpersonal skills from a young age, so managing an apartment shouldn't be a problem for her.

"By the way, you should be in school now, right?"

Jingu Makoto's gaze fell on the green school uniform the girl was wearing, and he casually asked a question.

"Ah."

A lily was suddenly appointed as the apartment manager, and her mind was still a little confused.

Upon hearing Makoto Jingu's words, she quickly nodded in agreement.

"Then you can go to St. Hua Girls' College from now on. I'll take care of the formalities for you."

"Saint-Hua? This is... Tokyo?"

A lily flower was naturally familiar with this top-tier university in Tokyo.

She was surprised because her family lived in Kyoto.

In other words, in that brief moment, Makoto Jingu brought her from Kyoto to Tokyo in an instant.

Master, you're amazing!

The girl's awe of Shingu Makoto deepened even further.

"That's right, by the way, give me your phone."

As Jingu Makoto spoke, he reached out his hand toward a lily.

Looking at Makoto Jingu's large, warm hand, Ichijou Lily instinctively placed her delicate white hand on it.

Mmm, so warm...

"Ok?"

Makoto Jingu squeezed her soft, boneless hand, somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you bring your phone?"

"Ah, no!"

The lily then realized what it had done.

She was too embarrassed to pull her hand back, so she could only let him hold it. Then she took out her phone from her school uniform pocket with her other hand and handed it to him.

Satisfied, Jingu Makoto released her small hand and took the phone.

He quickly operated the device a few times, then returned it.

"This is my contact information. Contact me if you need anything."

Having done all this, Makoto Jingu turned to leave.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the boy's departing figure.

But just then, Makoto Jingu suddenly turned around with a mischievous smile on his face.

"It feels nice, very soft."

"!"

A lily's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe tomato.

The girl opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but this time, Jingu Makoto really left.

With only a lily left, she sat down on the chair next to him, her feelings complicated.

She lowered her head, her little head almost buried in the soft valley, trying to process the series of events that had happened that day.

The ups and downs of life are truly thrilling.

……

"Dong dong dong..."

Makoto Jingu stood outside the Tachibana family's door. He had only knocked for a short while when the door was quickly opened from the inside.

"Phew, Cheng-kun, you're back!"

Kyoka Tachibana seemed to have come running, her chest rising and falling slightly as she breathed heavily, a charming blush spreading across her fair face.

She had changed into a more relaxed and comfortable set of loungewear, with an apron hanging around her neck.

The hem of her loungewear only reached her thighs, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs that were plump and rounded, exuding the unique charm of a mature woman.

"Come in quickly."

Kyoka Tachibana greeted Makoto Jingu with a smile, giving off the air of a virtuous wife welcoming her husband home.

"Aunt Kyoka, it smells so good! What did you make?"

As Jingu Makoto entered the entrance hall and changed his shoes, he immediately smelled a rich fragrance and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Um, I'm sorry, Cheng-kun. I just got back and there wasn't much food left at home, so I just made a simple bowl of noodles."

Upon hearing this, Kyoka Tachibana showed a hint of apology on her face.

After all, she had planned to show off her skills and cook a sumptuous meal for Shingu Makoto, but the result was that even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients.

"It's okay, let me try it, I'm actually quite hungry."

Makoto Jingu isn't picky about food; as long as it's not like Michiko's culinary disasters, he can accept anything.

"it is good."

Kyoka Tachibana smiled gently and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Soon, a steaming bowl of tonkotsu ramen, along with several plates of delicate snacks, was served.

As Kyoka Tachibana bent over to arrange the plates on the table, the deep, snowy white color made Makoto Jingu's appetite increase even more.

He picked up his chopsticks, took a large mouthful of noodles soaked in broth, and began to suck on them without any hesitation.

"Suck, suck, suck..."

After a satisfying gulp of food, Makoto Jingu put down his chopsticks and exclaimed contentedly:

"Aunt Kyoka's noodles are really good!"

Its chewy yet tender texture is unforgettable.

"You silly child, really..."

Hearing Makoto Jingu's effusive praise, Kyoka Tachibana covered her mouth and chuckled, looking very happy.

After the meal, Makoto Jingu offered to wash the dishes and then sat down with Kyoka Tachibana on the sofa in the living room.

He seemed to remember something and said, "Aunt Kyoka, the matter has been resolved. Those people will never come looking for you again."

"Thank you, Cheng-kun, for helping me so much again."

Kyoka Tachibana turned to the side, looked at Makoto Jingu, and said earnestly.

"Don't mention it, Aunt Kyoka, I... um~"

Before Makoto Jingu could finish speaking, Kyoka Tachibana suddenly leaned in.

A warm, slightly cool softness suddenly blooms on the lips...

Kyoka Tachibana originally planned to retreat immediately after successfully launching a sneak attack, just like last time.

But Makoto Jingu was no longer the same as before. Almost instinctively, he reached out and grabbed Kyoka Tachibana's soft waist, not giving her any chance to escape.

"Woo..."

Caught off guard, Kyoka Tachibana froze, letting out a surprised moan.

However, enveloped by the boy's aggressive aura, she only struggled symbolically for a moment before relaxing and even hugging his shoulders back, awkwardly beginning to respond.

Kyoka Tachibana shyly opened her mouth, attempting to engage in a fiery battle with Seina Jingu.

But her meager skills were utterly ineffective against the battle-hardened young man.
