Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Haruno's Message
Before getting off the train, Renji took out a lunchbox from his bag and handed it to Mai Sakurajima.
"I don't know how serious your condition is right now. Anyway, just use this lunchbox for now. If you're still hungry, come find me. You know what class I'm in, right?" Renji looked at Mai with genuine concern, his tone gentle.
Mai looked at the man who gazed at her so attentively, and her eyes welled up slightly, a rare, almost imperceptible emotion. She turned her face away, not wanting Renji to see her embarrassing appearance, but nodded faintly.
"I know, you're in Class F, first year." Her voice was barely a whisper.
"Good to hear. See you this afternoon." Renji said with a smile, gently waking Shiina Mahiru and Sumireko Sanshokuin, then the three of them exited the train.
Mai also got off the train, but remained on the platform. Staring at Renji's retreating back, the girl couldn't compose herself for a long time. This person actually isn't that bad.
Mai was now in a very serious situation. Although she was a famous actress who debuted as a child star, she didn't have much money on hand. After all, her agent was her mother, who controlled her finances. And some of her money was in her apartment, which was now forgotten and completely inaccessible.
Of course, this wasn't the worst. The worst was that at "one, two, three" she found that she couldn't touch objects occasionally. This was equivalent to not being able to buy food even with money. If she couldn't touch objects, she would starve to death sooner or later. Mai was a good girl, so she certainly wouldn't think of taking things for free. Renji's lunchbox was timely help, an invaluable helping hand.
Upon arriving at the teaching building, Sumireko parted ways with the two and headed to her own classroom. She actually wanted to ask Renji about the supernatural event, but let's just forget it for now. She would find an opportunity to ask at midday.
Mahiru had slept soundly the entire time, so she hadn't noticed Renji's conversation with his senior. The angel-sama truly worked hard yesterday. Renji, of course, felt sorry for her. Fortunately, after falling asleep for a while leaning on him, Mahiru had regained her energy and wasn't so sleepy anymore.
As they arrived in the Class F corridor, Kawasaki Saki, who was tying her silver hair into a high ponytail, suddenly rushed out the door and bumped into Renji.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention for a moment," she said with a cold face, though there was a hint of faint regret.
"It's alright, just be careful next time." Renji smiled and replied, reaching into his school uniform pocket. There was a small note inside. It must have been Kawasaki Saki who took the opportunity to slip it in.
Renji guessed that this should be her phone number. After all, Kawasaki Saki didn't want to draw attention, nor did she want others to know she had a relationship with Renji. It was difficult to talk directly, so the best way was to contact her via mobile phone and email. Kawasaki Saki was a good girl. So she should be thinking of a way to return the 1 million yen to him now.
As soon as he entered the classroom, a beautiful girl with her hair in a bun and radiating a youthful aura stood before him. "Renji, Mahiru, hello!" It was Yuigahama Yui, a bright smile on her face.
"Hi, Yui." Mahiru naturally greeted her in the same way, her soft voice slightly hoarse.
Renji, of course, couldn't say an embarrassing "Hi," so he could only raise his hand and greet her normally. "Good morning, Yui, I'm very satisfied with your gift." He added, deliberately teasing Yui.
The gift Yuigahama Yui had given him was a pornographic comic with a big-breasted sister on the cover. Hearing that, Yuigahama Yui trembled and her cheeks immediately turned red all the way to her ears. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look him in the eye. She pointed her finger and replied hesitantly, "Well... you... as long as you like it."
She was so embarrassed she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Ahhh! Why did she send a pornographic comic? Renji said he liked it? What will he think of me?
Renji smiled, walked past her, and greeted Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina. "Yumiko, Hina, good morning."
"Good morning, Renji-kun." Miura Yumiko blushed when she heard Renji call her so familiarly. Although Kakeru Tobe was her friend and greeted her like this, she felt embarrassed when Renji called her name like this. Perhaps because of yesterday's confession, plus his identity as a savior, in Miura Yumiko's heart, he was still a very special existence.
"Good morning, Renji!" Hina replied nonchalantly, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at him. She knew his other secret. He was a ghost exorcist hiding on campus and could kill evil spirits with just a glance!
After greeting them, Renji returned to his seat. He opened the window, felt the refreshing breeze, and felt happy. Mahiru also sat next to him. She seemed rather sleepy, and since class hadn't started, she just lay on the desk to catch up on her sleep.
Renji took the note from his pocket. It was actually just a series of numbers. He took out his phone to add the contact, then sent an email.
Renji Kamisaka: "Are you there?"
The other party replied immediately.
Saki Kawasaki: "Yes, I'm Saki Kawasaki."
Renji Kamisaka: "I know, so why did you put your phone number in my pocket?"
Saki Kawasaki: "I want to return the money to you."
Renji Kamisaka: "I don't want it, it's hush money for you."
Saki Kawasaki: "No need for that much hush money, just give me 10,000 yen as a thank you."
Renji Kamisaka: "I refuse, the amount is too small. I'm afraid you'll tell others."
Saki froze in her spot.
Saki Kawasaki: "Are you a rich second-generation? Your parents make money, and you just squander it?"
Renji Kamisaka: "..." He sent a silent message, and after a few seconds, he replied.
Renji Kamisaka: "I'm the only one in my family, and I earn my own money."
Saki was stunned when she returned to her seat. She immediately typed, full of regret.
Saki Kawasaki: "Sorry, I didn't know... I'm really sorry for bringing up your sad story!"
Renji Kamisaka: "It's alright, I'm used to it."
Saki still felt guilty.
Saki Kawasaki: "Even if you earn your own money, you can't spend it recklessly. I'll return it to you. In fact, you don't need hush money. I'm not a chatterbox. I don't have the slightest intention of leaking other people's secrets."
Renji Kamisaka: "You're so annoying. I said I'm giving it to you, so it's yours. You can throw it away if you don't want it."
Renji Kamisaka: "Don't try to secretly put it in my shoe locker or desk. I'll return it to you after you pay me!"
Saki's cheeks immediately puffed out. Why is this guy so difficult to deal with? Does he want me that badly? But she didn't want to be owned by someone or be a playboy's lover!
Renji Kamisaka: "Anyway, if you don't accept it, I think you'll definitely leak my secret!"
Saki Kawasaki: "In that case, I'll keep the money for you for now. If you need it, you can ask me anytime..."
Renji Kamisaka: "Whatever you want."
Seeing this, Saki clenched her fists under the desk. Whatever you want! This hateful man, does he think he's a gold digger? He's actually using money to hit on her.
Renji, of course, didn't think of using money to hit on this good girl. He just wanted to find a reason why Saki couldn't refuse and become involved in his life. There was an intersection. It was better to continue the relationship in the future. Unbeknownst to her, Kawasaki Saki had fallen into someone's trap.
While putting away his phone, Renji suddenly noticed a gaze. Looking closely, it was the guy who worked in central air conditioning with a complicated look in his eyes, Hayato Hayama.
Noticing Renji's gaze, Hayato returned a bright smile and nodded amiably.
Renji grinned as a greeting. Hayato was also interesting. He was always curious about his relationship with Yukinoshita Haruno, but he restrained himself and didn't ask. If he didn't ask, Renji, of course, wouldn't explain. Let Hayato remain sour.
I'm a man who has been kissed on the cheek by Miss Yukinoshita Haruno. Renji thought to himself, a small pride hidden. Hayato, who has always liked Yukinoshita Haruno, has been discovered by Yukinoshita Haruno and deliberately targeted by Yukinoshita Haruno. Oh, no. It should be said that she ignored him. If Yukinoshita Haruno really wanted to target Hayato, all she had to do was find some of Hayato's little fans and show them Hayato's mask. That mask made them see the real Hayato. And sometimes, being ignored is often the most tragic thing. It means you don't want to waste your mood paying attention to others. Even if you do pay attention, you'll just treat them as passersby.
Just thinking about things, a message came from his phone.
Yukinoshita Haruno: "My name is Yukinoshita Haruno, your sister Yukinoshita Haruno. Renji-kun, come here to the school gate. Big sister has something she wants to ask you."
Renji Kamisaka: "Uh, Big Sister Yukinoshita Haruno, how did you get my contact information?"
Yukinoshita Haruno: "Hehe, I asked Yukinoshita Yukino to give it to me. She initially refused to give it to me."
This message had just gone out. Another message arrived. This one was from Yukino.
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Sorry, Renji. My sister insisted on asking for your phone number. I was truly pestered by her, so I had to give it to her. You must be careful of her."
Renji Kamisaka: "No need to be careful. Big Sister Yukinoshita Haruno even drove me to school last time. She's a very kind person."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Anyway, please be careful of my sister!"
It was ridiculous. Renji shook his head helplessly. Yukinoshita Yukino likely suffered psychological trauma from being teased by Yukinoshita Haruno when she was little. So, no matter what Yukinoshita Haruno did, she would remain subconsciously wary. Yukinoshita Haruno was clearly a sister complex. It was really sad to be told that by her own sister. But it was his own fault.
It wasn't class time yet. Renji got up and left his seat, walked out of the classroom, and prepared to go to the school gate to see what Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to do with him.
