Chapter 124: The Girls Each Go Their Own Way

Outside the door were Mikami Ai and Miyase Yaeko, along with their four bodyguards and that stalker.

Qingshan Li was about to ask, the words on the tip of his tongue, but he changed his mind and said, "Come in first."

He stepped slightly to the side.

"Excuse the intrusion." Mikami Ai walked past him.

Miyase Yaeko stepped forward, her legs wrapped in black socks revealing a faint victor's smile as they cleared the threshold.

After the two entered, Qingshan Li looked at the four bodyguards.

"Please." He said.

The four bodyguards bowed simultaneously, making a gesture of "Young Master, you first."

"It's fine, please come in."

The four bodyguards did not move from their spot.

"Really, no need to stand on ceremony. Alright then." Qingshan Li entered the door first, holding the bamboo sword.

Upon seeing Mikami Ai, the Ono sisters' complexions eased slightly, then became flat again.

When Miyase Yaeko appeared in their field of vision, they tensed up once more.

Before they could walk into the house, the two took the initiative to come out into the courtyard.

"Qingshan?" Ono Mika looked at her younger brother; although she didn't show it, from the address one could tell she was a little angry.

"Here's how it happened." Qingshan Li explained the matter of being surveilled.

"How scary, is it him?" Ono Mizuki hid behind her sister, looking at the stalker being guarded by the bodyguards.

"Take him away, question him thoroughly." Miyase Yaeko gave the bodyguards a look.

The man was taken to a corner.

"Regarding being stalked, do you have any thoughts yourselves?" Mikami Ai asked.

The Ono sisters shook their heads lightly, looking at Qingshan Li.

"Money? Beauty? Besides that, I can't think of anything else." Qingshan Li said.

Before long, among the one male and one female bodyguard responsible for the interrogation, the female bodyguard walked over.

Before she could whisper to Miyase Yaeko, Miyase Yaeko said, "Speak directly."

"Claims to be from a casino." The bodyguard said.

"Casino?" Everyone murmured.

"Supposedly Qingshan Young Master's father owed two hundred million at a casino, the person suddenly disappeared, so the other party came looking for Qingshan Young Master."

The courtyard fell into a stunned silence.

"How could he owe two hundred million?!" Qingshan Li was baffled.

"Seems he was good-looking; the casino people planned from the start to let him owe a huge debt, then make him swindle money from a rich girl, or be a gigolo for a rich madam, so they lent money very generously." The bodyguard explained.

"We have no obligation to repay the money, right?" Ono Mika said in a determined tone.

Having lost her mother since childhood, she naturally would not let go of the law as a weapon, and understood this aspect.

"If they really cared about the law, the casino wouldn't do this kind of thing." Mikami Ai mused.

"Even if the other party does nothing, loitering at the doorway all day won't do." Qingshan Li frowned.

Repaying the money is definitely out of the question.

First, it has nothing to do with him; second, he doesn't have two hundred million; additionally, this debt itself was a setup by the casino.

The problem is, what to do?

"Leave it to me." Miyase Yaeko said, "I guarantee they won't disturb your daily lives."

Ono Mizuki looked at her sister.

Ono Mika wanted to say something but stopped.

They indeed had no way out.

Mikami Ai noticed their expressions, her cherry-colored lips moved slightly, but before she could make a sound, her arm was grabbed by Miyase Yaeko.

"We'll head back first today; if there's news I'll come notify you."

Before everyone could recover, Miyase Yaeko had already left with everyone.

"Sorry for the trouble." Qingshan Li looked at the two sisters.

"What are you saying!" Ono Mizuki gave him a punch.

Qingshan Li felt he couldn't grow any taller, otherwise his bladder would be in danger.

"You're the one in the most difficult spot." Ono Mika smiled faintly, "Then we'll leave it to Miss Miyase."

"I'll compensate her later."

"Hm?"

"I mean writing novels!" Qingshan Li hurriedly explained, as if a moment's delay would get his fingers chopped off, "The next novel I'll leave to her to operate; this time the trouble is only two hundred million, I'll let her earn four hundred million, how about that?"

"One sometimes really wonders why you're so confident." Ono Mizuki couldn't stand it.

"Li." Ono Mika also used a scolding tone.

"."

They don't know about the system; Qingshan Li could also understand their thinking that his behavior was overly confident.

"This isn't your matter alone." Ono Mika said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself; even if you can't write a novel, the three of us working together can still live a good life."

"That's right, if worst comes to worst, sell the house, we'll go back to our hometown!" Ono Mizuki also said.

". Tonight, let's three soak in the bath together again!"

"Give me the bamboo sword." Ono Mizuki reached out her hand.

"What for?"

"Give it to me."

◇

Outside the Aoshan Ono Family home.

Two black-haired beautiful girls waited for their private car.

"Let me have this opportunity, okay?" Miyase Yaeko's bright and noble face wore a smile.

"I don't mind, but didn't you see the Ono Sisters are in a difficult spot?" Mikami Ai answered.

"I want to resolve this past conflict, do something for what happened back then — you don't want them to keep harboring resentment either, right?"

Mikami Ai looked at her, her smile holding a touch of contempt: "If you truly think that way, letting you have it is fine too."

"Then I'll tell you my true feelings." Miyase Yaeko smiled slowly.

Bodyguards were already standing at the entrance and exit of the alley, far enough away from them.

Miyase Yaeko continued: "I'm improving my relationship with the Ono Sisters, for the sake of being with Qing Shan in the future.

"Let me handle this matter, it saves you trouble, causes no loss to the Ono Sisters, and can help Qing Shan — what do you think?"

Indeed.

Mikami Ai had no definite reason she had to help.

Most critically, when Miyase Yaeko took on this matter, the Ono Sisters and Qingshan Li didn't open their mouths to ask her for help.

Not even a hesitant glance toward her.

Then, leaving it to Miyase Yaeko is fine too.

But she could also use this opportunity to ease her relationship with the Ono Sisters and Qingshan Li.

The question is, is it necessary?

A bodyguard walked over.

"Miss, the car is here."

"Mm." Mikami Ai didn't reply, turning to leave.

A bodyguard walked to Miyase Yaeko's side; without a word, this meant her car had arrived too.

Miyase Yaeko watched Mikami Ai leave, then turned to glance once more at the Aoshan Ono mansion gate, smiling faintly.

A heaven-sent opportunity.

She and Qingshan Li truly were fated by destiny.

◇

After evening study ended, Qingshan Li returned to his bedroom.

— System

Between him and the System, no excessive words or clear commands were needed for mutual understanding.

The System listed what he needed.

【Koshien: 39%】

【Love Daily Life — Mikami Ai, Miyase Yaeko: 90.1%】

【Seiten Band: 37%】

【Kendo Gyokuryuki: 32%】

He wanted to write a second novel, but the highest material collection rate was 'Love Daily Life'.

Try a different genre.

— Campus Detective, Daily Life, Romance

【Campus Detective, Daily Life, Romance: 1%, 2%, 3%84%】

Is 'Detective' dragging it down?

Without the System answering, Qingshan Li's own brain gave the answer — whether daily life or romance, materials were plenty, only 'Detective' was almost entirely from the previous few detective novels.

Material severely insufficient.

Switch another.

— Campus Daily Life Romance

【Campus Daily Life Romance: 1%, 2%99.87%】

Progress rose, but there are five or six female leads!

All acquaintances!

If this were written, no matter how you think about it, it would cause an accident.

Are there novels that don't take material from people?

— Campus, Learning

【Campus Learning: 1%, 2%14%】

The problem is there aren't many twists and turns.

He isn't a bottom-ranking delinquent, never failed a test, and has no conflict between studying and club activities.

In studies, besides serious study, there's nothing else.

Forget it, repaying kindness isn't urgent; keeping it in mind and slowly repaying later works too.
