After Saving a Beautiful Girl Who Is the Target of a Handsome Guy With a Dangerous Secret Face, I Found Myself Destroying His Entire Harem and Playing with All of the Beautiful Girls
A gruff-looking man appears in front of us.
He smiles a dirty thin smile and catches Hazuki and Satsuki san in his sight.
‘How nice, he seems to be having fun, is that boy possibly Yayoi chan’s boyfriend? lol”
“That’s not very flashy for a girl like that, since she’s so cute, she needs to pick a better guy.”
Hazuki and Satsuki san’s faces distorted at the man’s words.
“Does that matter to you guys?”
“…… Please don’t say anything bad about Kujo-kun.”
They say back, but their voices are indeed trembling.
The men laughed at their words.
“Hahahaha!!! You’re unusually talking back to me today, aren’t you? lol”
‘Usually you’re all about “please spare me”.”
“”!!!””
The men approach them.
Then, with a grin, he said.
“I mean, how can it not be relevant? How much do you think you ‘owe’ us? lol”
The two shudder at the man’s words.
I see, so that’s what this is all about.
In other words, these men are debt collectors.
The reason they seem to be interacting with each other is that they have visited each other many times.
“If you want to cut ties so badly, can you pay me back quickly? lol”
“.!
G-giving it back? The amount I were told was correct…’’
“That’s not good! If we lend you money for free, we won’t make any money! lol”
“The interest hasn’t been paid yet. If you don’t do this, it’ll just keep getting bigger and bigger.”
“The regular interest is properly paid..!”
“Just pay it back, will you?”
“”！！！””
The face of Hazuki and Satsuki san blotches with fear.
“Remember what I told you before? If you can’t return it, why don’t you use that body ……?”
The man looks at Satsuki san as if he is licking her with a nasty look.
The other men also looked at Mayuka-san’s body carefully with lewd smiles on their faces.
“If you want, how about you too, Yayoi chan? If you do that, you can pay off your debt in an instant..lol I think you’d rather earn so much money that you don’t have to run this shabby beauty parlour…”
“! That’s …….”
“Isn’t it a simple matter? We’ll do something that makes each other feel good, and you’ll be free of debt. We’ll be able to cut ties with each other. We’ll be happy, lol.”
“I’m sorry, boyfriend kun ……, right? lol”
The men press further towards the pair.
“How do you want to do it? I can ask you for your answer right here and now, right?”
“But there’s only one answer for you, isn’t there? lol”
“!!!”
The two men are pressed closer and closer to the two, and their bodies shrink more and more.
As expected, I couldn’t watch any longer, so I quickly intervened.
The irritation on the men’s faces is obvious.
“Aaaa? What are you doing?”
“Will you stop interrupting me? This is a problem between us and Hazuki-san.”
The men stared at me menacingly.
But I said to them without any fear.
“Please leave us.”
As I say this, the men’s faces fill with anger.
“!!! Don’t get carried away, you!”
“Hey!?? Ah⁉?!!”
“—Please leave us.”
“””!?!??!”””
When pressure is applied, the men back away.
Apparently, their instincts sensed that they were in danger.
Besides, looking around, passers-by were looking at the men quizzically.
“‘…… tsk. Let’s go.”
“Y-yeahh”
The men walked away, perhaps afraid of causing any more commotion, while revealing their annoyance.
When I looked behind me, I could still see the fear on their faces and their bodies were shaking.
I put my hands on their shoulders to reassure them and put on as gentle a face as I could.
“It’s all right now.”
“Kujo-kun, …….”
“Thank you. …… and I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“No.”
I waited slowly until the two of them had calmed down.
When I saw that the tension had eased, I asked
“Um, that was the debt collector, wasn’t it?”
“…… Yes, that’s right. I borrowed money when I opened this shop, and I paid it back, but there was interest on it that I don’t remember. So …….”
That’s terrible.
I’ve heard stories in the shop about people being charged unreasonable interest before.
Maybe it’s one of them.
“And I’m the only worker in our house. My husband died of illness when she was very young.”
“My father was …….”
Hazuki looks down.
My chest is tightening.
I also had a similar experience.
Single mother family.
It’s the same for my family.
I lost my father when I was very young, too. ……
“I-I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’m sorry I got you into this and even talked about weird things~!
You don’t have to worry about it, Kujo-kun~!”
“………….’
She said so, but I couldn’t think of the problems in the Hazuki family as someone else’s problem anymore.
Of course, I also feel that I cannot ignore the fact that there are people right in front of me who are suffering because of unreasonable things.
But more than that, I couldn’t abandon ‘Hazuki, who is just like me’.
I felt like I was abandoning my childhood self.
“But if this happens, I guess I’ll have no choice but to close the shop. …… Unfortunately…”
Satsuki san muttered as if she had given up.
I’m sure the store was empty because those kinds of things came regularly.
It’s just a negative chain.
It’s no wonder that Satsuki-san came to the conclusion of closing the shop.
Then Hazuki muttered.
“…… I love this shop. That’s why I don’t want to close it.”
“Yayoi …….”
“Because this shop is a place filled with memories of father. Besides, I dream of becoming a hairdresser in this shop. That’s why …… I don’t want to close it.”
This is the first time I have heard Hazuki’s feelings.
I’m sure Hazuki is the type who doesn’t push her feelings by saying things are impossible.
And yet now, this…..
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry Yayoi …….”
“Mother…….”
They both have tears in their eyes.
It overflowed and spilled onto the ground.
…… this is no good.
How can someone be made to suffer unreasonably?
I don’t believe that Hazuki should be sad like this.
In my heart, my resolve hardens.
I have decided what I should do and what I want to do.
“Hazuki.”
When I call out, Hazuki looks up.
I tried to mend, but she still looked straight into my eyes and I told her.
“—I’ll take care of it. So leave it to me.”
I’ll do something about it.
I can’t allow someone close to me to be unreasonably moved to tears.
With a clink, the door opens.
Arataki-san came to his usual seat and looked at me as I wiped my glass.
“It is unusual for Ryosuke-kun to call me out. So, what’s the story?”
I put down my glass and pour his usual whisky.
I put it down in front of Arataki-san and said forcefully
“I have a favour to ask you.”
When I said this, Arataki-san smiled and immediately replied.
“–Of course.”
