Chapter 124: Two More Transfer Students Again

~3 min read 550 words

After returning to her room, Sonoko Suzuki looked utterly dejected.

"Dad found out after all."

Actually, she had expected this.

To mobilize a large amount of family funds, she still needed her father's and mother's approval.

She had prepared to negotiate with her father while hiding the truth.

Who knew her father would be so cunning, launching a sudden surprise attack with his questions.

"Tell Amamiya first."

【Sonoko Suzuki: Sorry, Dad found out after all.】

【Ren Amamiya: Not surprising.】

【Ren Amamiya: Your family's fund flows still need to be known by the elders.】

【Sonoko Suzuki: Hmm, I was planning to negotiate with Dad, but who knew I'd be tricked into revealing it.】

【Ren Amamiya: Be careful next time.】

【Ren Amamiya: Don't expose yourself recklessly without the ability, like I did.】

【Ren Amamiya: Exposing yourself without ability is equivalent to self-destruction.】

【Sonoko Suzuki: Noted.】

Putting down her phone, Sonoko Suzuki buried her face in the bed with a dejected expression.

"Mmm~"

"I was even talking about Kudo this morning, yet I ended up making the same mistake."

After a bit of fussing, her energy was nearly depleted.

Her eyelids began showing signs of fighting each other.

"Yaaawn~~~"

"Time to sleep; I have to go to school tomorrow."

Today's date was too exhilarating; in fact, after a whole day of tossing and turning, she was already utterly exhausted.

Now she was completely worn out and could toss and turn no more.

In the Amamiya household, Ren Amamiya was tidying up the tarot cards scattered on the table.

"The Suzuki family's spirit of inquiry is truly vigorous."

"In this regard, father and daughter share almost the same personality; both have developed an interest in that dangerous yet thrilling world."

"Ignorance breeds fearlessness."

He shook his head slightly.

"Whichever power one obtains, one must face the corresponding risks."

"However, the first few who obtained the diary did not bring extraordinary power to those around them; let's just wait and see on the Suzuki side."

Taking a deep breath, he sat quietly in his seat, adjusting his mood before sleep.

And began summarizing the entire day.

"Dating a girl is not an easy thing."

"And then there's the matter of being confessed to by a girl."

Ren Amamiya was still not very good at dealing with girls.

Yet, recalling today's date with Sonoko Suzuki.

Although he was not very good at dealing with girls, he could still sense a girl's affection.

It was also the first time he felt that girls, as a species, were actually quite cute.

He took off his glasses.

Ren Amamiya lifted his head and looked at the ceiling.

"Suzuki... is completely different from how she is portrayed in the story."

"Just like Mao Li."

"The accumulated disappointment made her choose to let go."

"Perhaps the record about Kudo in the diary was one of the weights that led Mao Li to make her decision."

"I cannot continue to treat people from the story as if they were people in reality."

"Stories can only serve as references."

He knew his own problem.

By placing himself outside the world, he subconsciously reduced contact with those around him.

Combined with his naturally introverted personality, this situation only grew more severe.

However, if he didn't like to talk, he simply didn't like to talk.
