"Hey, Aoba-kun! Over here!"
Aoba was quite surprised and rode his bicycle up to the sports car:
"Miss Suzuki, what are you doing waiting here?"
"It's all because of you..."
Sonoko Suzuki stared intently at Aoba with her resentful eyes, noticing that he was dressed in a custom-made suit but riding a dilapidated bicycle.
He burst into laughter, completely lacking any ladylike manners.
"Hahaha, Aoba, you're not planning to ride your bike to school, are you?"
"Can't you?"
Don't you think that's too strange?
"Well, it's alright. After all, you don't need to be too formal when you go grocery shopping."
Aoba looked at himself and thought his mount was pretty good, although it didn't really match his outfit.
As long as I'm comfortable, who cares what others think?
"Don't talk about me. Aren't you the principal? Aren't you going to the school to keep an eye on things?"
The voice just fell.
Sonoko Suzuki sighed and poked Aoba's wrist, which was exposed from riding the bike, with her finger. "It's all because of you!"
"If a top graduate of Toyonosaki is late because of grocery shopping, he will be ridiculed by his rival schools."
"So, get on the bus quickly!"
Beep beep—(For super exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
buzz-
The horn and the gusts of air generated by the engine's vibration startled passersby.
Feeling the angry glares from them, Qingye rolled her eyes speechlessly.
As expected of the heiress of the Suzuki Group, she's just so willful.
Aoba naturally wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity. Why not take advantage of a free ride?
Aoba parked her bicycle in front of Sanae's bakery at the street corner.
The bakery is probably still closed because of last night's heavy rain, but it's Monday, and we don't want Nagisa to be late...
Boom boom boom!
I knocked on the door a little harder.
Aoba only stopped when he heard Uncle Furukawa's impatient complaints coming from inside the door.
"Uncle Guhe, it's almost eight o'clock. If you don't get up soon, Xiaozhu will be late for school."
After saying that, Aoba turned and left.
Meanwhile, the sounds of clattering and crashing came from inside the house behind him. By the time Aoba reached the sports car...
Akio Furukawa then opened the roller shutter door, looked at the bicycle in front of his house, and his still-sleepy brain hesitated for a moment before suddenly realizing what was happening:
"You brat, you're making me watch your car again!"
"Could you please take a look? I'll bring you and Sanae-nee-san gifts when I come back later."
Aoba waved and smiled at Koga, then opened the passenger door and got in.
With a roar of the engine and a series of vibrations, the eye-catching red sports car disappeared from the street.
"You brat..."
Muttering to himself, Akio Furukawa still pushed his bicycle to the side of his shop.
"Qiusheng, was that Xiaoqingye's voice just now?"
Sanae Furukawa came downstairs in her pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Looking at the bicycle parked by the door, she said to herself with self-reproach:
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on dragging you to see monsters last night, I wouldn't have gotten up so late today..."
"It doesn't exist at all!"
Akio Furukawa, embracing his machismo, grabbed Sanae and said, "Because I love watching yokai the most!"
"really?"
"It must be true!"
The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes, while Nagisa Furukawa, dressed in her school uniform, walked past them as if they were invisible.
"Mom, Dad, I'm going to school."
"Hey? Nagisa, aren't you in a hurry today?"
Akio Furukawa scratched the back of his head. Last night, his whole family was engrossed in watching the "Sudden Monster Attack at Toyama Park" on TV.
They don't even realize when the alarm clock goes off.
"The school will notify us to attend the ceremony at Toyonosaki today, so it will be a little later than usual." Nagisa Furukawa tilted her head, carrying her bag in both hands, looking somewhat dazed.
“I remember talking to Dad about this yesterday.”
"Uh... of course I remember!" Akio Furukawa patted his chest. "I just happened to borrow Aoba's bicycle, so Dad will take you to school today."
"Eh?!"
Nagisa Furukawa glanced at the bicycles outside and said helplessly:
"Let's forget about it. The teacher said we should work together today, and Aoba-ge will need it when he gets back later."
"Alright then, be careful on the road, Nagisa."
"Okay, Mom."
The girl waved and walked briskly toward the school.
Standing behind her, Sanae Furukawa's eyes were blurry with tears. "I hope Nagisa is safe and sound."
"It definitely will, don't worry."
"How about we see if we can get Nagisa to transfer to Toyonosaki? After all, it's closer."
Sanae's eyes were full of worry.
"A ghoul just appeared at their school, and now it's a monster. I'm really afraid that one day..."
A silence fell over Furukawa Akio's face as he took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"I'll have Inspector Megure ask him later."
"Did we take the wrong turn? This isn't the way to the market!"
"I grew up here, how could you know this place as well as I do? Don't worry, there won't be any problem!"
As Sonoko Suzuki spoke, she slammed her foot on the gas pedal!
Om-! ! !
A strong feeling of being pushed back instantly came over me.
"This is the city, drive slowly!"
"There are no cars on the street, so what's there to be afraid of!"
Although she said that, Sonoko Suzuki still slowed down, but as the speed decreased, she felt more and more uneasy.
Why does the number of cars on the road increase as soon as I slow down?
Yuanzi glanced at Qingye out of the corner of her eye, then stepped on the gas pedal again, and with a roar, the traffic on the road instantly decreased.
Weird!
Unconvinced, Sonoko decided to speed through the streets.
It took less than three minutes.
Puff-!
A beautiful drift.
The sports car came to a smooth stop in front of the market that Aoba frequented.
"call--"
After getting out of the car, Qingye let out a long sigh, her face slightly pale. "I'm never riding in your car again next time."
Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki glanced at Aoba as if she were looking at him, and with a smile, she said confidently, "That won't do."
"Aoba-kun, I've discovered you're incredibly lucky!"
"There was no traffic jam at all during the morning rush hour."
"If you weren't opening a shop, I'd be thinking of poaching you to be my secretary."
Aoba rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Let's forget about the secretary thing."
Done.
The purification technology operates autonomously.
I feel completely refreshed.
"You're just going to wait for me outside?"
After all, he is the heir to the Suzuki Group; it's not impossible that he might find these places too low-class.
The garden didn't seem to notice anything amiss, watching the bustling market inside with its throngs of people coming and going.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, let's come together."
The two chatted along the way and soon arrived at Mrs. Yuihama's stall.
Mrs. Yuihama was already waiting for customers at her stall, with two elderly women, around fifty years old, sitting next to her, both with furrowed brows, seemingly discussing some troublesome matter.
"You can't pay attention to people like Yuihama..."
