"Since it's a request owed to me, I can decide what to do. Besides, I will pay the reward for eliminating the misfortune as usual."

It must be said that Ooka Momiji is indeed quick-witted.

With just a few words, they seized the initiative back into their own hands.

Sonoko had no way to refute it.

Izuki Shizuta also realized that he had been a little careless just now.

The main point is that the autumn leaves of Ooka are indeed in the right.

That bracelet contains the essence of heaven and earth, and its price is considerable, far exceeding what a 0 yen transfer service can offset.

dong dong dong——!

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

"Is Miss Hongye here?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's like this, Mr. Yajima might not be able to come. The director wants you to go to the lounge to discuss the karuta performance match."

"understood."

After saying that, Ooka Momiji blushed slightly and said softly, "Mr. Itake, please remember to wash up and wait for me tonight."

Afterwards, Ooka Momiji left the lounge.

Sonoko, who had been standing nearby, heard everything clearly. She watched Ooka Momiji's departing figure with annoyance and said, "What a shameless woman!"

"How dare they threaten Mr. Izuki with such despicable means!"

Ooka Momiji's reply was a string of victorious, silvery laughter.

Izuki Karita gently patted Sonoko's back, "Alright, don't be too angry..."

Unexpectedly, Sonoko looked up, her face showing no displeasure whatsoever, but rather a gloating smile:

"Hehehe, why would I be angry?"

"Red leaves brought trouble upon themselves, and I couldn't be happier."

"Mr. Yizhu, please torture that ruthless and unscrupulous woman to the highest difficulty level!"

"When the red leaves have tasted the sweetness, they will surely be thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning, racking their brains for the next time..."

"Then I'll laugh at her mercilessly!"

It turns out that the angry expression I made earlier was all an act.

The goal was to make Ooka Momiji lower her guard.

After all, there are so many beautiful women around Izuki Karuta.

How could a mere Ooka Momiji possibly bind someone with just a few petty tricks?

Izuki Karita was secretly somewhat surprised.

It seems that Sonoko usually gets along well with the other people.

Not wanting to or being too lazy to engage in these psychological games doesn't mean they can't.

After deciding how to deal with Ooka Momiji,

It was only then that Izuki Karuta and Sonoko remembered that Ayumi was also standing nearby.

Ayumi, her face flushed, looked very shy.

Although I didn't hear the whispers between the three of them.

But Ayumi clearly heard what Ooka Momiji had just said: that she planned to use the debt she owed to force Itake Karuda to do something shameful.

Although I don't understand exactly what it is, it's definitely something only adults can do.

Ooka Momiji's words and actions deeply shocked Ayumi: she realized that love between adults was so simple, direct, and ruthless!

Sure enough, those soap opera romances in TV dramas are all fake. When it comes to love, you should bravely pursue it!

"Ahem, Ayumi, what you just heard. Please don't tell anyone."

Izuki Qingtian had forgotten to use her evil aura to block out her voice.

At least Ooka Momiji is still his client.

We still need to help protect the privacy of our clients.

Ayumi nodded shyly and said, "I won't say anything... if Brother Izuku can promise me one thing."

Sonoko: ...

Izuki Karuta: ...

It's all Ooka Momiji's fault for setting a bad example.

This led Ayumi to follow suit.

Sonoko patted Ayumi's head. "So, Ayumi, what do you want? A toy or...?"

Ayumi gently shook her head. "I'll tell Brother Izuki later."

Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in Sonoko's eyes.

No way, does Ayumi also want to take advantage of Mr. Itake?

Izuki Karuta nodded slightly, her gaze reassuring Sonoko.

Dealing with a simple-minded girl like Ayumi is easy.

Afterwards, the three returned to the lounge where Professor Agasa was.

0Request flowers

As promised, Ayumi, when questioned by Mitsuhiko and Genta, only said that she was wandering around the TV station.

I saw many scenes that were being recorded or were being filmed behind the scenes, scenes that cannot be seen on television.

Mitsuhiko and Genta both regretted not coming along.

The talk show doesn't start until 1 p.m.

It was nearing noon, so Izuki Karuta suggested that everyone have lunch nearby first.

"Then I want eel rice!" Genta was the first to respond enthusiastically: "Three servings! No, five servings!"

Mitsuhiko was speechless. "Genta, you ate 80% of the snacks on the table. How can you still eat that much?"

Genta rubbed his stomach. "Eating is also physical work. When you're tired from eating, you get hungry."

Everyone was immediately shocked by Genta's unusual foodie logic.

Osaka TV suddenly broadcast a message to all attendees:

"Just now, the Osaka Prefectural Police issued an emergency evacuation notice."

"Everyone stop working immediately and evacuate the TV station through the nearest emergency exit."

"To reiterate, the Osaka Prefectural Police have issued an emergency evacuation notice..."

Japan is an island nation that experiences frequent earthquakes, and evacuation drills are common.

Upon hearing the broadcast, Professor Agasa and the three elementary school students immediately stood up and prepared to leave the lounge.

Many television station staff members were already evacuating from the corridor.

Izuki Karita wasn't in a hurry to leave; she simply stood at the door watching the people who kept leaving.

Sonoko stayed by her side; in her heart, the safest place was with Itsuki Karuta.

During their visit, the two also met with Chairman Achiba.

The other party quickly reminded him, "Mr. Yizhu, you should also evacuate quickly."

"The Osaka Prefectural Police said that a bomb has been planted in the TV station and could explode at any time."

"It's too late if you don't run!"

These words made the others even more tense, and they quickened their pace considerably.

Izuki Karuta simply smiled and nodded, watching as President Achiba was swept away by the crowd.

Before long, most of the people on this floor had been evacuated.

Izuki Karuta said, "Sonoko, you can go down now. I need to go find someone."

"It's Momiji, right?" Sonoko guessed the answer and joked, "Maybe this explosion was orchestrated by someone to kidnap him."

"But she deserves it, with Hongye's arrogant and rude temper..."

Judging from the time she left, Ooka Momiji must still be wearing that conspicuous kimono.

Sonoko could easily guess that if Ooka Momiji wasn't deaf, then she must have encountered some kind of trouble.

Chapter 237 They'd rather be at home...

After making a few comments about the autumn leaves in Ooka, Sonoko also headed towards the emergency exit.
