Chapter 239 Love

Sakai Mirei took a plane back to Tokyo directly after completing the transfer procedures at the high school she was attending in Kochi Prefecture. She was about to start a brand new senior year here.

Sakai Mirei exited Haneda International Airport and took a taxi and ran to Nishi-Azabu in Minato Ward. She had a completely different feeling this time than before, a feeling of coming home.

Nowadays, the three fully furnished bedrooms on the third floor were all occupied. These housed Masayoshi Kishimoto, Rie Sakai, and Mirei Sakai respectively.

After the cab arrived at the place, Sakai Misuzu paid a fare that was seen as expensive by ordinary people before taking out her suitcase from inside the trunk of the car.

She had a set of keys to the entrance of the place, so she opened the front gate of the front yard like a hostess, and walked in calmly.

Sakai Mirei first put her traveling gifts back in her bedroom, then came down to the second floor study to find Masayoshi Kishimoto. She knew that it was Saturday and not working. If he was at home during this time of day, he would be reading a book in his study.

Sakai Meiling gently pushed open the study door and walked inside while smiling sweetly, “I’m back. Did you miss me while I was away?”

Masayoshi Kishimoto held the book in his left hand, his eyes still resting on the lines of writing on the top of the page. He neither looked up nor made a single response.

“Why are you ignoring people? I’m asking you?” Sakai Misuzu walked to the corner of the desk and sat down without hesitation, facing him and saying quietly.

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t make any excessive gestures, his right hand just turned a page of the book. His eyes continued to focus on the words on the page.

Sakai Meiling reached out and snatched the book out of his hands, ”Let me also see how attractive this book of yours is? A beautiful maiden like me placed in front of you is able to make you indifferent.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t try to retrieve the book she had taken away, but just stared at her with a drooping head and said, “If you come back, you come back!”

“You’re finally willing to talk to me. It’s not easy!” Sakai Meiling did not put the book she was holding in her hand is to the side of the desk said.

“Even if you’ve left your friends and classmates in your hometown for a long time, don’t you have any sadness in your heart?” Masayoshi Kishimoto supported his drooping head with his left palm and said.

“What’s there to be sad about? The thing that really saddened me still happened within our family. The small ancestral folklore inn that my mom runs just can’t be sustained anymore. In a matter of days, it will close down and go out of business.

Then there was the small local bank that my dad worked for that started laying off employees, and my dad was one of the ones who was going to be laid off. What’s going to happen to our family from now on?” Sakai Mirei took the opportunity to just head towards telling him about the waterway.

“Why haven’t I heard your sister say anything about this!” Masayoshi Kishimoto wondered.

“I’m afraid my sister has long since put her status as the eldest daughter of the Sakai family behind her.” Sakai Mirei said with an intentional sigh.

“You just study hard and don’t worry about the rest. Tuition, living expenses, pocket money, and everything else will be paid for by me.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said firmly.

“Brother Justice, thank you. Although you helped me and my sister, you didn’t help my parents and my little brother! What can the three of them who stayed back home do in the future?”

Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly burst out laughing and said, “Little girl, did your father assign you to specifically say these words to me, or was it your mother?”

“Neither. It was myself.” Sakai Meiling did not lie and said.

Justice Kishimoto said bluntly, “It’s not hard at all to ask me to help your family out of the current predicament. Your father’s problem is a good one.

All I need is for me to deposit three to five hundred million yen into the small local bank where he works, and I’ll be able to get the bank to take him off the layoff list and keep him on.

As for your mom’s ancestral inn, that’s even easier. I’ll pay for it directly as a piece of real estate in my hometown of Kochi.

When I go back in the future, I won’t need to stay in an outside hotel. After your sister and I are officially married, I will give it to your sister as a wedding gift.

In this way, your mother’s family’s ancestral folklore inn will be completely preserved and not fall into other people’s hands.

However, this matter still requires your sister to personally beg me. Otherwise, no one in your family will be able to talk to me. At that time, don’t say that I’m thin-skinned.”

“Can’t I do the same?” Sakai Meiling’s heart was old and unhappy as she said.

“No way. Other than your sister Rie, no one else can.” Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t beat around the bush for a second and answered positively.

“What if my sister doesn’t?” Sakai Mirei asked with a sense of purpose.

“Then I just can’t help you with these two things in your family.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spread his hands and said.

“Why is it that you only have my sister in your eyes, why can’t you see me?” Sakai Meiling huffed.

“Who said I can’t see you? Aren’t I looking at you right now?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said playfully.

“I’m talking about love. Love, get it?” Sakai Mirei fumed.

Masayoshi Kishimoto burst out laughing, gleefully saying, “You’re a little kid, what do you know about love?”

Sakai Meiling said defiantly, “Who says I don’t understand? I understand.”

“I see, you understand.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he laughed more and more.

“What exactly is so good about my sister?” Sakai Mirei asked thoughtfully.

“I don’t really see a single thing good about your sister. However, there are a ton of flaws all over her body.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.

“Then why do you still love her?” Sakai Mirei said, completely unable to understand.

“Because there is love between us!” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a smile on his face, but it wasn’t really a joke.

“I don’t believe it. You must be lying to me.” Sakai Mirei said in a serious manner.

“Then you can just assume I’m lying to you. In the end, I still have that same sentence, it’s not impossible to want me to help your family get rid of the trouble and defuse the difficulties, the only way to do that is if your sister comes and begs me.” Justice Kishimoto reiterated.

“I get it, you don’t actually love my sister, you just want to conquer her innocence. When she kneels down in front of you, you will have gained a complete victory, resulting in a great spiritual and psychological fulfillment.

At that time, I believe your interest in my sister will begin to gradually dissipate. You will then come to your senses and truly realize that the person who loves you is me, not my sister.” Sakai Meiling suddenly came to a realization and couldn’t help but smile on her face as she said.

“Really?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a meaningful smile.

“Absolutely.” Sakai Meiling said with conviction.
