Tokyo: Starting from staying with my mother’s best friend

Chapter 2 The Virgin and the Widow

The peerless widow is at the front.

Her hair was still intact in the wind, and her dark pupils stared resolutely ahead, like a general leading an army on an expedition.

Huacheng Iori followed the coffin holding the tablet.

From a distance, she looks like a pitiful girl with long flowing hair.

The third daughter, Miss Li and her daughter, Iroha Hanagi, followed the coffin, and the long funeral procession turned solemnly and headed towards the reserved temple.

The women, who were too beautiful to be true, silently stayed away from Iinuma Isao's sight.

Funeral props such as lanterns, flags, canopies, and wreaths are all being kept away.

However, Huacheng Xingzi's back could be clearly imprinted in his eyes even after traveling far and wide.

So beautiful.

The ant queen?

Queen ants are not so beautiful.

Like a queen bee?

The beautiful yet dangerous queen...

"Although she is beautiful, she is difficult to get close to. Behind her back, she is a poor woman walking on thin ice..."

Ionuma Isao looked at the window of the guest room for a while, then lay down tiredly on the tatami at his feet and silently recited "system".

A light blue panel appeared in his sight.

[Name: Ionuma Isao]

【Intelligence: 8】

【Charm: 9】

【Physical Strength: 8】

【技能：剑术（精通LV5）、自由搏击（精通LV1）、中文（精通LV1）、日文（职业LV5）、钓鱼（职业LV5）、英文（职业LV1）、美术（职业LV1）、驾驶（职业LV1）】

[Talents: Self-discipline, neat handwriting, accent correction, memory enhancement]

[Props: disposable hypnotic stick (1), food taste enhancer (30 servings), high-end bamboo knife (1)]

【Points: 500】

The panel is easy to understand.

The average value of the three basic attributes of intelligence, charm, and physical strength is 5, and the maximum value is 10 for ordinary people. If you continue to expand it, you will have extraordinary attributes.

Skills have four levels: entry, career, proficiency, and master. Skills will only be displayed on the personal panel when they reach the career level.Each stage has 10 small levels. After reaching the full level, the level will be improved. After the master reaches the full level, special props are needed to advance to the extraordinary level.

As a reborn, the system is innate.

To put it in simpler terms, this is a game system that will issue some limited-time activities when encountering a peerless beauty, encouraging players to complete the activities and receive rewards.

In the past 15 years, the system has triggered a total of three limited-time activities.

There is no way, he was born in a remote town in the mountains of Asahikawa, Hokkaido.

In a place where security basically depends on dogs and communication basically relies on roaring, there are not many people there, let alone beauties.

The first time I came to an activity was when I was three years old.

It was a summer evening when there was about to be a heavy rain. He was so excited that he put his hand on his hips and pointed to the sky. Under the thunder and lightning in the sky, his little figure actually felt like he was going to go against the sky. He felt majestic.

Just when his heart was surging and could not be calmed down, and he was about to say passionately, "Given time, I will kill the White Snake to revolt...", he suddenly saw the name of the target of the event.

【Kaoru Iinuma】

"..."

Then he's stupid.

The rain was pouring down, but he couldn't move.

Ionuma Isao, do you want to make your mother mad to death? Iinuma Isao, are you very proud? Iinuma Isao, this is the last time——

His family relationship was severely tested, and his mind was full of pornographic waste from his past life. In the end, he was scolded by his biological mother and dragged home, and he was also scolded.

"I don't even know how to go home when it rains. Is there something wrong with this kid's brain?"

Mom, do you know what kind of ups and downs your son has experienced... Three-year-old Iinuma felt wronged, but he couldn't say it.

For the first mission, he only received the guaranteed reward.

Later, the second and third limited-time activities also ended hastily after getting the guarantee.

This is an unsolvable problem.

"Tokyo is such a great place..."

"At least in the Huacheng family, there is no need to worry about the deterioration of filial piety when participating in activities..."

After muttering to himself, Ionuma Isao opened the limited-time event and looked at it.

[Wealthy Widow (S): In the next month, Huacheng Xingzi will encounter multiple threats. If someone can step forward to protect her and the Huacheng family...]

There are six difficulty levels of activities: C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.

[This activity has four stages:]

[1: Solving the dilemma faced by the wife for the first time]

[2: Significantly increase your importance in your wife’s heart]

【3: Find out the mystery】

[4: Solve the Huacheng family crisis]

[Each stage of progress is achieved, and corresponding clearance rewards can be obtained]

[Phase 1 reward: 5 points]

[Stage 2 reward: Mastery level skill upgrade coupons (5 pieces)]

[Stage 3 reward: 1 basic attribute]

[Stage 4 reward: Comprehension and mastery (talent))]

[Activity limited time: one month]

[Participation in this event is voluntary]

【confirm exit】

Ionuma Isao clicked on [Comprehension and Mastery] and looked at it.

[Comprehension and Mastery: When learning knowledge and technology, you can gain ten times the experience]

With this talent, wouldn’t it mean that one year of learning is equivalent to ten years of learning for others?
Good stuff.

Ionuma Isao's eyes became fiery.

But immediately, his expression turned solemn again.

When the system was first activated, there was a sentence in the rules: "Transactions always follow the principle of equivalence. The more difficult the activity, the richer the reward."

5 points, 5 skill upgrade coupons, some basic attributes, plus a top talent...

Ionuma Isao, who has won the guarantee three times, believes that this reward must be difficult to obtain and needs to be considered in the long term.

He began to organize his thoughts.

Then...he found that he had no idea at all.

He has absolutely no idea what's going on with the Huacheng family.

"Then I have to ask my mother for help..."

Ionuma Isao picked up the phone.

I dialed my mother's number, put the phone to my ear, and soon heard the familiar and friendly voice.

"Have you reached Aunt Xingzi's place?"

Even though he was thousands of miles away, just listening to this charming voice, Ionuma Isao seemed to see his mother with long hair reaching her waist and a halo surrounding her body right in front of her.

"Well, we're here." "Then why are you bothering me?" My mother seemed a little cold and impatient.

"Something happened at Aunt Kyoko's house." Ionuma Isao said helplessly.

"Ok?"

Mom's interest was aroused: "Tell me and listen."

"Aunt Xingzi's husband and brother are both dead, and the funeral happens to be today..."

Iinuma Isao was afraid that she couldn't hear clearly, so he deliberately emphasized his tone, but his mother didn't seem to take it seriously. She said lightly and said: "I thought there was something fun, but it turned out to be this. Your mother, I have already I expected that such a day would come."

"Why?" Ionuma Isao asked curiously.

"Because, um, ah~"

A pleasurable moan of stretching came from the other side of the phone.

"Huachengjia, a large real estate developer, declined rapidly in the 'political donation' scandal three years ago..."

On the other end of the phone, my mother was sitting on the beanbag, comfortably spreading her smooth legs on the coffee table. While looking for nail polish, she spoke softly and erratically to her son about the decline of the Huacheng family.

No real estate company is clean.

A corruption scandal broke out among the Huacheng family's "partners" in the government. As the largest source of corruption funds, the Huacheng family naturally could not escape sanctions - not only were they fined huge amounts and a large number of high-level officials were arrested, they were also restricted from being allowed to enter the country for three years. Tender and develop new projects.

The first two penalties were fine, but the really fatal one was the third one.

For a real estate company, being unable to bid for new projects is tantamount to requiring them to suspend business for three years.

As soon as the penalty decision was announced, many suppliers and contractors rushed in under the instigation of a huge force, collectively demanding that the Huacheng family pay the project and goods payments immediately, otherwise all projects would be stopped immediately.

If the project does not continue to be built, the money invested is equivalent to being thrown into the sea, and it is impossible to sell it to collect the funds.

The Huacheng family, which was already short of cash, had reached the edge of the cliff and was only one step away from destruction.

In desperation, the head of the Huacheng family invited "rescuemen."

To be more precise, it was that force that took the initiative and used coercion and inducement to force the Huacheng family to sign many contracts for the transfer of interests. They also sent someone to marry the eldest daughter of the Huacheng family and prepared to slowly transfer the Huacheng family's assets. Eat them all away.

Now, the three-year period is approaching.

The Huacheng family did not wait for the Crooked Dragon King. Instead, the head of the family who signed the contract died suddenly six months ago, and the son-in-law and second son who came to visit with a purpose also died suddenly a week ago.

That force will never give up just like that.

The future of the Huacheng family is like the sky in early spring - dyed a heavy and sticky lead color, with no way out in sight.

"Which force is it?" Ionuma Isao couldn't help but ask.

"Well, the 'Red Snapper Group', the boss used to be a fishmonger, so the name of the group is a fish. It is currently the most popular new violent group in Tokyo. Ah, I found it..."

"What did you find?"

"The bright red nail polish my mom just bought."

"You never used nail polish before."

"Nonsense, I used to bring a scumbag like you, who would you show it to?"

"..."

"It's been 15 years, your mother, I finally don't have to look at you brat. Of course, I have to enjoy my freedom... By the way, back to the Red Snapper Team, their backers are pretty big. They can even talk to the Governor of Tokyo. On the relationship..."

Mom picked up the nail polish, her tone and demeanor were very lazy and frivolous, as if she didn't care about these things at all.

"hiss……"

Ionuma Isao couldn't help but take a breath: "The dead husband-in-law was also a member of the Red Sea Bream Team?"

"That's right, he's not an ordinary member yet." Mom let out a charming laugh, "That's the young master of the Red Snapper Team. Tsk, tsk, Kyoko is in trouble right now."

"It's quite troublesome..."

Ionuma Isao also felt troubled and said with emotion: "My husband has just died, and before I have time to feel sad, I have to face my husband's family who is eyeing my own family. It's really pitiful."

It’s better not to participate in the event.

This is a gang in Tokyo, and behind it there are first-class frontier officials like the Governor of Tokyo. Young people should know how to be calm and not be too arrogant.

If he gets involved like a fool, maybe next time his mother sees him, there will only be a box of ashes left.

"Sad? What are you talking about? I know Kyoko's character best."

Mom exchanged the folded legs, unscrewed the cap of the nail polish bottle, and hummed lightly: "It's not an exaggeration to say that a 37-year-old spinster is a chaste stone girl. Even if she gets married under pressure from her family, She still won't let anyone she doesn't like touch her..."

Ok?
Mom made it very clear that Aunt Xingzi was a virgin with the status of a "widow".

Okay, okay, let's play like this...

Seems more excited...

"Mom, Aunt Xingzi is in a difficult situation right now and is surrounded by enemies on all sides. It's really worrying!"

Iinuma Isao put his ear to the phone and asked cautiously: "Tell me, do you want me to help you? After all, she is your old man's best friend, and I will live with her for at least three years..."

Her son's clear questioning voice came from the other end of the receiver. Her mother sat curled up on the soft beanbag, tilting her head and holding the phone between her shoulder and cheek.

The long black hair hanging down like silk covered her face.

She picked up a small brush with her white and slender fingertips and applied nail polish to her toenails nonchalantly.

"If you want to help, just help, so that mom doesn't have to waste energy looking for others."

"But I have some concerns..."

"Go ahead and do it. As long as you don't force that old woman Amaterasu, Mom, I can handle it for you."

"..."

The conversation between mother and son paused for a moment, and the mother seemed to remember something. The hand that was applying nail polish suddenly paused and yelled at the microphone: "Ionuma Isao, that is my mother's best friend. You are not allowed to have any evil thoughts towards her!"

"How can I..."

Ionuma Isao's retort sounded unconfident.

"Don't think I don't know about your little thoughts!"

"Bye-Bye!"

Ionuma Isao quickly cut off the call.

My mother's sixth sense and her shamelessness are both so scary...

■

At noon, it rained heavily in Tokyo.

The scheduled burial had to be postponed, and the Senjuin mourning hall in Shibuya was packed with guests who came to express their condolences.

After greeting his mother, Iinuma Isao slipped into the temple in the rain and hid in the cloister to take shelter from the rain to observe the situation.

The mourning hall opposite was crowded with people, and almost everything he could see was black and white.

The only color was the cherry tree outside the window of the mourning hall, which bloomed a gorgeous pink in the heavy rain.

In the gap between the cherry blossoms, the lady's figure can be vaguely seen. Her profile looks a little tired.

There were many people talking at the same time in the mourning hall, and the voices that came through the rain curtain to Iinuma Isao's ears were too blurry, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

"Young man, it's your turn..."

Suddenly someone spoke in my ear.

Ionuma Isao turned around instantly, and the angel was smiling at him.

Waxy white skin.

An appearance like a delicate porcelain figure.

Pink lips, black mourning clothes and white flowers.

The big pupils reflected the young man's face, and the face was dotted with long and shiny black eyelashes.

There is no doubt that Iori Hanaki is an impeccable beautiful girl, but Ionuma Isao always feels that she does not look like a human being, and that kind of beauty is like a dummy.
