Chapter 56: Chapter 56
Although Kamijo Mutsumi's combat power was less than that of a large goose due to his poor physical condition, Soyo, with a shoe and a stocking in her hands, was clearly not in a good position to fight either.
And so, with one's power decreased and the other's increased, Soyo swung her fists until she was panting, but failed to land any effective attacks.
"It's all your fault..."
Seeing that her efforts were futile, Soyo stopped and began to complain.
"I can't believe I fell for your nonsense!"
Thinking back now, Soyo found it incredible.
How could she have done such a thing?
Don't tell me I was infected by this bizarre creature?
The girl's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to a few minutes ago.
She still hoped, just as before, that Great God Saki would come back.
But Sakiko, perhaps because of what had just happened, had an even worse attitude than before.
Even Soyo couldn't help but feel wronged.
She had done so much for Sakiko, even Mutsumi Wakaba...
One could only say that Soyo's sunk costs were too high; there was no turning back.
If she couldn't make Sakiko have a change of heart, everything she had done before would become a joke, and she would become a complete and utter clown.
And just at that moment, she remembered the idea Kamijo Mutsumi had mentioned before.
She recalled all her past pursuits and efforts, only to be met with cold words and rejection.
In that instant, dark emotions overwhelmed her reason.
She didn't remember what happened after that.
She only remembered coming to her senses and finding the shoe and stocking in her hands, and the shocked and humiliated expression on Great God Saki's face.
In that moment, Soyo experienced a feeling she had never had before.
The gentle and considerate White Sakiko was alluring, but this Sakiko before her now, showing an expression she had never seen before, wasn't she also a different kind of delicious?
But in just a moment, the girl erased this dangerous thought from her mind.
"What if Sakiko hates me because of this..." the girl worried.
"You don't have to worry about that," the scumbag said, a rare kind word from him.
"For Sakiko to hate you, she didn't need what happened today."
And the facts proved that the girl was still too naive.
"You!"
Miss Soyo was, naturally, seeing red again.
Does this bastard want to anger me to death so he can inherit my family's duplex high-rise?
"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Soyo hadn't expected to get any comfort from him in the first place. She had just been venting instinctively, but she found that if she continued talking, she might actually die of anger.
"Give this back to Sakiko..."
The girl stuffed Great God Saki's shoe and stocking into his hands and said with a listless tone.
"Give them back to Sakiko?"
Hearing this, his expression became strange, as if he couldn't believe she would make such a decision.
"What do you mean by that?"
Soyo instantly understood his meaning, and her face flushed.
"Do you think I'm some kind of pervert?"
To this, he reserved his opinion.
Seeing him not reply, Soyo also regained her composure, crossing her arms with a cold snort.
"I'm going back."
With that, she turned to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute..."
Seeing this, he stuffed the things that had been occupying his hands into his pocket and then grabbed her arm.
"How are you getting back?"
"I'll walk back myself!" Soyo said, turning her head away as if in a fit of pique. "It's none of your business!"
"...If you're really that determined to suffer, you could just come to a hotel with me. There's no need for this."
"What did you say?!"
"There's a car, but you won't take it, insisting on walking back on your own two feet. Are you a masochist?"
Although this area was generally safe, it was quite late now. It was better to be safe than sorry.
And Soyo's arm strength was actually far greater than his current strength.
But as he pulled her towards the sedan that had brought her here, the girl didn't struggle at all.
I feel like this scumbag is a little angry. Is he worried about me?
Thinking of this, Soyo's cheeks felt strangely hot.
Wait, what am I thinking?
Miss Soyo quickly shook her head, regaining her senses.
By this time, she had already been pushed into the car by him.
"Well then, good night, Miss Soyo."
"Who's saying good night to you!" Soyo retorted subconsciously, but she allowed him to close the car door and let the sedan take her away.
Coming to her senses, the girl stared blankly at the scenery flashing past the car window. The figures of Sakiko, Mutsumi Wakaba, and even... Kamijo Mutsumi, appeared in her mind one after another, shifting and alternating.
"What on earth... should I do?" the girl murmured, burying her face in her arms.
On the other side, after watching Soyo leave, Kamijo Mutsumi also turned and walked up the stairs.
The problem of Great God Saki still needed to be solved by him.
And as he arrived in the living room, the expressions on the other girls' faces were a bit confused.
After all, Great God Saki came up a while ago. What were you doing downstairs?
However, he had no intention of explaining himself to them. He just asked Mutsumi Wakaba where she was.
The answer was unsurprising: in her own room.
To be precise, it should be the room that originally belonged to her.
Although he had bought this large mansion from the Toyokawa family, he hadn't changed the layout of her room.
And Great God Saki was currently curled up on her bed, a large lump under the covers.
"Saki-chan?" he called out tentatively, but there was no response.
"Sakiko? Great God Saki? Customer Service Saki?"
"Soyo-chan, Sakiko is right inside..."
"Don't let her in!"
Hearing Soyo's name, Sakiko shot up as if electrocuted, throwing off the covers and shouting in a panic.
Then, she realized there was no Soyo, only him standing by her bed, looking at her with a teasing expression.
"Is it fun to trick me like this?" Great God Saki asked, her cheeks slightly red, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.
"...It seems Soyo has left quite a shadow on you."
"I never thought," she said, immediately getting agitated at the mention of Soyo. "That Soyo would actually..."
She never minded assuming the worst of Soyo, but she still hadn't expected her to be capable of something like this.
"I just mentioned it casually. I didn't think she would actually take it seriously."
So it was you who gave her that terrible idea?
She had known it. Soyo liked to be clingy, but she wouldn't go so far as to do something like this.
Sakiko's face was grim. She said in a cold voice:
"Should I be thanking you for this?"
"You're welcome!"
Kamijo Mutsumi was never one to lack the virtue of modesty.
