Chapter 173: The Oath (Revised)

Masayoshi Kishimoto and Makoto Natsui met at the gate of Ueno Park. He took the initiative to take her right hand and lead her towards his own set of apartments located up in this district.

“You’re taking me there?” Natsui Makoto couldn’t help but ask saying.

“You’ll know all about it when we get there.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without explicitly saying so.

Natsui Makoto no longer asked more questions, silently being held by the other party’s small hand, walking towards the front with the marching pace of his feet.

The more she felt that he was mysterious, the more she couldn’t help but generate all sorts of particularly beautiful thoughts inside her head. A sweet smile couldn’t help but appear on her own face.

Masayoshi Kishimoto brought her to the place with ease. He sat on top of the long sofa in the living room, leaning his back against the back of the sofa and said, “Do you like it here?”

Natsui Makoto liked it in her heart from the moment she walked into the first floor lobby. She also knew that this place belonged to a high-class elevator apartment, a place where rich people lived.

Natsui Makoto had absolutely no idea why he brought himself here? She looked left and right at everything here, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice, “Like is like, but ……”

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t wait for her to finish before interrupting, “No buts. In the future, you will live here! If you’re not satisfied with the decoration here, just redecorate. What style you like, you make your own decision. If you’re not satisfied with the furniture, just replace it with new ones and buy the ones you like.”

As he said that, he removed a gate key from the top of his key ring and placed it on top of the glass coffee table with his body leaning forward.

While Natsui Makoto was filled with fog, he tensed up and said, “Are you crazy? This has to be redecorated and the furniture changed. Renting here, how expensive would that be! I’m afraid a month’s rent would have to be twenty, thirty thousand yen.”

“No money, just stay as long as you want.” Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but laugh at the nervous look on her small face.

Natsui Makoto didn’t believe that there would be such a good thing under the sky? Even if he were to pay for it, he wouldn’t want it. His one month’s salary to pay the rent might not even be enough, let alone other expenses such as utilities.

On top of that, one had to eat and drink, as well as other things. Even if you add your own share of the money, it may not be enough. Not to mention the fact that she was thinking of saving up to get married.

Natsui Makoto sat down next to him and said, “The place I’m living in now is quite good, so there’s no need to waste money. We can’t afford to cheapen the landlord. Since you’re planning on living with me, let’s just go to the Adachi district and find a cheaper house!”

Without changing his smile, Masayoshi Kishimoto took one of her hands and said, “To tell you the truth! This house is mine.”

Natsui Makoto was instantly dumbfounded. Her face was full of confusion, her eyes staring at him in a daze. One couldn’t believe that what one heard could be true.

“I definitely won’t lie to you. If you still don’t believe me, I can take out the real estate registration certificate to show you.” Masayoshi Kishimoto held her left hand with one hand, while the other was gently patting the back of its hand and said.

Natsui Makoto slowly came back to her senses. The expression on her face was not one of surprise, but instead was on the verge of tears, and her voice became a little choked as she said, “So, you’ve been lying to me from the very beginning?”

“There is no such thing, don’t frame me. I told you a long time ago that I am very rich, it’s just that you don’t believe it. Blame me?” Masayoshi Kishimoto let go of her hand, both hands spread out, full of innocence.

Natsui Makoto immediately recalled inside her head that he had indeed said such a thing. Not to mention that she wouldn’t believe it, even if it was a different person, she wouldn’t believe it as well.

“We live here together?” Natsui Makoto had no objections to living with him, after all, there was nothing to be said when it came down to it. She asked seriously.

“No, you live alone. I live in Nishimabu, Minato.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said truthfully.

Natsui Makoto’s head suddenly buzzed, instantly remembering something she had heard someone say. Here in Tokyo, rich men who were looking for a woman to be their lover wouldn’t say it outright.

They would act like they were particularly concerned, offering to provide the woman with a good place to live, good material living conditions, and so on.

Of course, this does not mean that you have met a great man, it will not be without any conditions. Women naturally have to pay for this body to meet each other’s desires and needs.

How long the relationship lasts does not depend on the woman, but on when the man is tired of it. At that time, the woman will be driven away by the man. The house will welcome a new woman who will be the man’s lover.

Natsui Makoto’s eyes reddened, tears couldn’t help but slide down from within her eyes, and she blurted out, “You’re married?”

“Why didn’t I know that?” Kishimoto Masayoshi lifted his hands are shown to her over the finger above the absence of a wedding ring, smilingly said.

“You swear that this statement did not lie to me?” Natsui Makoto asked him to swear, saying.

“Don’t be so childish, okay? If you really don’t believe me, we can check at the district office!” Masaru Kishimoto said bluntly.

“I want you to swear.” Natsui Makoto insisted that he swear in front of his face.

Kishimoto Masayoshi had no choice but to put up three fingers on his right hand, put away his smile, and said seriously without a smile, “I, Kishimoto Masayoshi, hereby swear. By the way, what do you want me to say?”

Natsui Makoto raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, thought a little, and said in a serious manner, “You are a man who is not married. If you say anything halfway false, heaven will strike you down. Forget it, it’s better not to.”

“What, can’t trust me? I, Masayoshi Kishimoto, hereby swear that I am a man who is not married. If I lie to Natsui Makoto ……,” Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.

His words were about to reach the word “heavenly punishment”, Natsui Makoto’s right palm was directly pressed to the front of his mouth, not to let him say it.

Masayoshi Kishimoto removed her palm and embraced her in his arms. He softly whispered, “Stay in peace!”

Natsui Makoto snuggled into his embrace, slowly closing her eyes in silence, her hands tightly hooked around the base of his neck. The inside of her head was really too chaotic. She needed time to slowly digest it.

Masayoshi Kishimoto had known for a long time that she wasn’t that kind of vain girl. Even in the present, she did not show that she was crazy with joy.

He cut through the obvious feeling that Natsui Makoto’s hands tightly hooked around his neck was in the heart of the fear that he would lose himself.

If a man starts out pretending to be poor and later tells a woman that he is actually rich, then the woman will feel that the man is still a good person, has not lied to cheat her, and will not break up.

On the contrary, if the man began to pretend to be rich, and then told the woman, they actually have no money, then the woman will determine that the man is intent on cheating her, very poor character, inevitably break up.
