Chapter 114 "Unrequited Love"
"What do you mean by 'extramarital woman'? That sounds awful," Shiori Kisaragi pouted. "If you don't want to, then forget it."
"I'm willing," Kirihara Akira suddenly said.
"—" Kisaragi Shiori, who had made the suggestion, was somewhat surprised to hear Kirihara Akira's words: "You're willing to do this?"
'
"...Didn't you suggest it yourself?" Kirihara Akira was speechless.
"Because, it's so awkward. Just thinking about it makes me feel weird. What identity would you have to meet my parents? I don't even know what to say when we meet. Maybe I should just forget about it," Shiori Kisaragi murmured.
"Hmm—offering decorative items to my in-laws?" Kirihara Akira said.
Kisaragi Shiori cursed, "Get lost, you perverted brat!"
"Knowing you as I do, since you actually said it, you mean you want me to do it. How could I possibly take it back?" Kirihara Akatsuki glanced at him sideways and said, "So, what are you planning?"
Kisaragi Shiori chuckled, "Oh, it's nothing."
"Then I'll guess for myself." Kirihara Akatsuki pouted and said, "You mentioned your parents, but you didn't want me to meet them, which means your original idea was to back down, but you didn't expect me to agree."
This means that what you want to say is related to your parents, but you find it difficult to bring it up.
"You've already acted shamelessly in front of me, completely abandoning any semblance of dignity. What could make you feel ashamed like this probably have something to do with money," Kirihara Akira said. "Your parents aren't sick and need money, are they?"
"Pfft." Shiori Kisaragi looked dumbfounded and said, "What if I just asked you for money directly?!"
"Hmm—" Kirihara Akira pondered for a moment and said, "So you need something from the Mori family?"
"Sigh." Shiori Kisaragi, her thoughts exposed, said, "Actually, I want you to help me use the Mori family's resources to look after my parents."
"Take care of your parents?" Kirihara Akira couldn't help but ask, "Surely the Metropolitan Police Department wouldn't be so incompetent as to not provide even the most basic family assistance to undercover officers?"
"You don't know this," Shiori Kisaragi said, "The police station is severely understaffed right now because many people have been fired and arrested."
"What do you mean?" Kirihara Akira asked. "The Metropolitan Police Department is out of funds?"
"Because too many people are going outside the police station demanding funding."
Shiori Kisaragi made no attempt to conceal the scandal within the Metropolitan Police Department: "A high-ranking official accepted political donations, and his faction was subsequently purged."
"Coincidentally," he was accepting bribes from underworld figures, and it was his wife who revealed this to him. Didn't you know?
Kirihara Akira's heart skipped a beat as she recalled what Mori Hayato had said at the dinner table.
The lady will not rely on the underworld.
Is it a case of turning around and purging the underworld?
That's a bit too optimistic.
"You're short-handed, and you don't even guarantee the safety of an undercover agent like yourself. Aren't you afraid you'll quit?" Kirihara Akira asked.
"Originally there was one," Shiori Kisaragi said. "The manpower shortage shouldn't have affected me, but the problem was that many of those who were removed from the team had connections with the yakuza."
"My colleagues who were originally in charge of these covert operations have also been isolated and investigated as a result," Shiori Kisaragi said. "I can't trust anyone anymore. Although there won't be any problems for the time being, I still feel uneasy."
Kirihara Akira nodded and said, "I'll find a way to help you, don't worry."
"
Upon receiving the promise, Shiori Kisaragi's expression was somewhat complicated.
Kirihara Akira asked with a smile, "What, you don't believe my promise?"
"No," Shiori Kisaragi said, "I'm just, um... I've been taking care of you all along."
"Now that things have come to this, why are you still being polite with me?"
"I didn't want to say anything, but it concerns my parents," Shiori Kisaragi sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'll owe you more and more, and I'll never be able to pay it back."
"Sigh." Kirihara Akatsuki reached out and pinched her face hard without thinking twice.
"Hey!" Shiori Kisaragi covered her face. "What are you doing?!"
"A qualified adult will never be polite to others when there is an opportunity to take advantage of them," Kirihara Akira said. "I really don't know what you're being polite about."
Shiori Kisaragi said, "Even a qualified adult knows that when someone helps them too much and they can't repay it, they should know when to stop—but I still shamelessly..."
'
Kirihara Akira pinched her cheek again: "Do you really need me to give you a reason to help you? You're so serious, so annoying."
Kisaragi Shiori slapped his hand away and said, "You can lie to me, just to put my mind at ease."
Kirihara Akira was truly impressed by this guy.
This fully demonstrates just how excellent Kisaragi Shiori's parents' education of her was.
She didn't want to owe Kirihara Akira anything; she felt she had to repay any kindness she had received.
This wasn't the first time the two had discussed this issue.
Kirihara Akira was somewhat annoyed and said, "I won't give you any reason, so you can just keep to yourself and feel guilty."
"
"—You're malicious!" Shiori Kisaragi exclaimed.
"I don't care what you think, I'm going back." Kirihara Akira stood up, making a move to leave.
"etc!"
Shiori Kisaragi sat there, wrapping her arms around Akira Kirihara's waist like an otter: "I have something else to tell you!"
Kirihara Akira was nearly pulled to the ground by her. She let out a "pfft" and said angrily, "Big sister, can you please not be so reckless! Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Kisaragi Shiori released him, showing no shame, and said, "Hey, I was just anxious because you were about to leave."
"What do you want to tell me?" Kirihara Akira asked impatiently.
"It's important," Shiori Kisaragi said. "The Suruga Group has contacted me."
Kirihara Akira looked at her in shock: "Wait, you only tell me something this important now that I'm about to leave?!"
"Oh, it's not that important," said Shiori Kisaragi. "I can tell what they're up to at a glance. They've been having a tough time lately, and based on the information you gave me before, I reckon they're trying to steal business from the main family."
So they approached me, this recently wildly popular singer, wanting to pour all their resources into me, to cultivate me into a superstar who could compete with Tianrong Entertainment in the market.
"You want to agree to become their entertainer?"
"Hmm—we'll see," said Shiori Kisaragi.
Then Kirihara Akira suddenly stopped talking.
Kisaragi Shiori keenly sensed something and asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem happy."
"I'm not upset," Kirihara Akira asked. "What I mean is, isn't it too dangerous to sign a contract with the yakuza so hastily?"
"No, I..." Shiori Kisaragi said, then suddenly realized something and teasingly poked Kirihara Akira's cheek: "Hey, Kirihara-kun, are you worried about me? Or are you jealous? Are you afraid I'll be mistreated in there?"
"You're just being delusional!"
