Owe a Wife
Episode 3
...Chapters 3...
...Mother and Son No Difference...
Hitotsuba Sakurako, Hitotsuba-san's mother, is a slender woman and slightly taller than Hitotsuba-san. Her reddish brown hair was cut to the shoulder. She had a beautiful face with graceful eyebrows, making herself look like a war goddess who brought victory to her allies despite the goddess of beauty.
“Omichi-san, young leader of Harazu clan. Looks like you guys have done a very underhanded business.”
Expressions calm. But his tone sounded as sharp as a sword and felt like nothing could escape the invisible sword that was pointing down their throat. Even I, who was not directly involved in the incident, could feel the pressure, so Taka-san, who was directly facing him, might feel frightened.
“A-what do you mean? We just want to get back the money we loaned. But his father fled abroad without paying back what he borrowed from us. So despite what we are not responsible for, we have no choice but to charge her, right? Shouldn't it be?!”
Oh, did he surprisingly manage to maintain his composure? No, that can't be true for Taka-san. Looking carefully, his forehead was drenched in cold sweat and the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, clearly he was just trying to be tough.
It was exactly like when Taka-san was running a yakisoba tavern at an exhibition. At that time he thought he was smiling while giving things away, but he looked like the scary Japanese demon Hannan-A to kids! They were terrified and crying, making herself feel so sad afterwards, that she had to hold back her tears!
“There is no such logic. In fact, the money lending business you do is out of bounds in every way. You're not talking about interest rates or anything like that, are you? You're aware that you broke the law, right?”
“Ha! How can I lend you money if I'm afraid of something like that! Then what, what are you gonna do to us, madam lawyer? Or, are you going to tell the superiors in the police department? C'mon? What are you gonna do?”
Oh. Taka-san has made her final decision. Although I was sure his heart was pounding, and he was bathed in cold sweat, it was an impressive feat for him. In my heart, I shed tears for Taka-san and clapped for her.
But for Hitotsuba-san's mother, Taka-san was nothing more than a keroco at the beginning of the war. Taka-san is like a tutorial enemy that she will never lose to him.
“'My father is the coolest man in Japan.’ Fufufu, she really is a cute princess, isn't she?”
Even without hesitation, he instantly gave a deadly attack to his enemy!
Realizing what he just said, Taka-san's face showed signs of shock. I tried my best to hold back my laughter.
“'My father works hard every day for my mother and me. He left the house early in the morning and came home late at night. But she always kisses me goodbye and kisses good night on my cheek. And if it's with mom, it's a kiss on the lips.' Geez, isn't that too much stimulation for your first-class daughter?”
“If I do a hot kiss in front of my son.I want to know like his future later..”.
As if launched after his mother's attack, Hitotsuba-san unleashed her own attack, This mother and son duo is indeed terrifying.
Taka-san moved away from them; her mouth was open-closed like a fish looking for oxygen.
True, Taka-san loves her daughter, Rika-chan very much. He also loved his wife very much. Well, how am I supposed to know this? That's because I've been to Taka-san's house a few times. Rika-chan is really cute, she will definitely be popular in the future, I'm sure of that.
“But Omichi-san. For your wife, let alone your daughter who loves you, you only describe your job as an ordinary office clerk. What would happen if they knew the truth?”
“Oh, the..it...no! My wife and son have nothing to do with it!”
“Yes, and I think it's the same. The debt left behind by Yoshizumi Yuya's parents must be paid by her parents. Yoshizumi Yuya is not responsible for that.”
I don't know much about the law. I thought that if my parents caused trouble for Taka-san and the others, then it was me, who was their son who had to clean up their mess. Besides, Taka-san has been very kind to me. He was like a brother to me.
“But it won't convince you or your boss, so let's make a deal.”
With that said, Hitotsuba-san's mother took out a piece of envelope from the bag she was holding. Taka-san received it and checked the contents with a wary look. After taking a quick look, a surprised expression could be seen on his face.
“What are you... crazy? I mean, you're not just any lawyer, are you?”
“No, I'm really just a lawyer, you know? It's just that my husband is very rich.”
The smile that Hitotsuba-san's mother showed was dazzling, yet her radiance and charm felt like a thorny rose. Such a rose can be fatal to a person if touched carelessly. This was the first time I saw such a dazzling smile, and after scratching her head a few times, Taka-san raised her hand to give up.
“Good. If you don't have a problem with this, then this deal is agreed. I will never get involved with Yuya again. I promise.”
Whahuh? What do you mean by that Taka-san? The entire debt of 3,607,977 yen, will it just pay off with the contents of the envelope? Seriously just keeled in? It scares me.
