Chapter 018: Fiancée

Before leaving the small bookstore on the corner, Kishimoto bought a Japanese version of "The Female Rule" written by the Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty of China.

He thought it would be a fitting gift for Rie Sakai as a Christmas present this year. So, I also paid an extra packaging fee and wrapped the book beautifully.

Masayoshi Kishimoto held the wrapped book in his right hand and walked aimlessly down the street. He was thinking in his head, what should I have for dinner?

He was thinking as he went. When I was about to pass by a street shop, I was attracted by the sound of shouting and the smell of Turkish barbecue.

The scent wafted into Kishimoto's nostrils, causing him to stop walking. He turned to look at the kebab shop, and then walked into the room again.

The good thing about being a cosmopolitan city is that you can easily eat special foods from all over the world. However, the bad thing about Tokyo is that the street shops are very small, and they are completely miniature in the world.

This is Akihabara in Chiyoda Ward, so the rent of the store is naturally not cheap. The food in the street shop cannot be sold at a high price. The price is high, and no one comes to eat. The price is low, and it is a loss.

Even so, Kishimoto has to work at least a dozen hours a day at this barbecue restaurant, which is run by a few Turks.

As for weekends or something, there won't be any, after all, it's self-financing. On weekends, there are more people than on weekdays, and business is even more important.

Kishimoto sat down in the innermost position against the wall and ordered a large Turkish kebab rice. It didn't take long for the things I wanted to be delivered to the front and placed.

Before the meal, he put the Christmas present he was going to give to Rie Sakai behind his back. This kebab rice can be eaten with or without hands.

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn't develop the habit of eating with his hands, so he picked up the spoon that the store had already localized with his right hand and started. He didn't spend much money on playing this day.

Before returning to Taito, you can also go and sing a karaoke on your own. Karaoke in Tokyo is not a hall for one person and one seat, but a small private room.

Even if it's a person, it's no problem at all. In his case, it is common to sing to vent and decompress. However, Kishimoto is not. He just wanted to sing all of a sudden.

At the same time, Rie Sakai on the other side will naturally not have a bad time. This is the beginning of her colorful life.

Four good female friends in the university first got together and found a French restaurant with a very good environment for Christmas Eve dinner.

Although they are not from Tokyo, they are from all backgrounds, and they are university students who do not have to work part-time to earn tuition or living expenses.

"It's a nice shop, I like the romantic French style. Yoshimi Sato said with a smile on her face.

"Good recommendation, must be a good place. The girl with the cake face who was sitting face to face with Yoshimi Sato raised the thumbs of both hands outwards and said with a smile.

Yoshimi Sato looked sideways at Rie Sakai, who was diagonally opposite, and said with a smile, "Rie, what do you think?"

"It's okay!" said Rie Sakai's mood was not high.

"Listening to your tone, you seem to be unhappy, who provoked you?" Eye Niang, who was sitting side by side with Yoshimi Sato, asked purposefully.

"I know, I know, isn't it the handsome guy in our school? It's Christmas Eve, and he didn't take the initiative to ask you out. The cake-faced girl looked particularly cheerful.

Rie Sakai raised her right hand and gently slapped the female companion next to her, "Do I have what you said so superficially?"

"Could it be that you're not happy because you're with us?" said Yoshimi Sato.

"Nothing. I was wondering, what the hell is that nasty thing going to be doing right now? He went out early in the morning, and when I went back to put my things and change my clothes, he hadn't come back yet. Rie Sakai said truthfully with her left hand on her cheek.

"You're your landlord!" said Yoshimi Sato calmly.

"What a landlord! Not a landlord, but a fiancé. The cake-faced girl laughed very actively.

At this time, the two people sitting across from her looked at Rie Sakai in unison, and they couldn't believe what they heard.

"What age is this? You are still talking nonsense!" Eye Niang said in disbelief.

"I swear, it's true. The cake-faced girl raised her right hand high and erected three fingers.

"And how do you know?" said the Eye Lady with a wink.

"Not only are Rie and I from the same place, but we also live next to each other. Not only are we friends, but our parents are friends too. It's okay, and there's something else I don't know. The cake-faced girl said very happily.

"Rie, is this true?" asked Yoshimi Sato, interested.

"It's all my parents' doing. Before I was born, they gave me a chance to marry. At that time...... It's all a no-brainer. ”

Rie Sakai generously admitted this established fact, but also felt that it was nothing, after all, it was something that could not be recognized in law.

She lived in Kishi's house, one for the convenience and economy of learning and life, and the other to block her parents' nagging.

"It's one thing not to count. As far as I know, your parents accepted the dowry of the Kishimoto family at the beginning, and the two of you also exchanged vows, and the most important thing is that there is a matchmaker, and the neighbors around you are witnesses, and there is no one who is not unaware of this matter.

If the Kishimoto family sues you for repentance, you need to make a financial compensation. The cake-faced girl put away the smile on her face and said seriously.

"What's the big deal, just return the dowry to him. Rie Sakai said disapprovingly.

"That's not what you say. This also involves interest, reputation, moral compensation...... It's complicated. One of my sisters is in the same situation as you.

It is most cost-effective for you to marry and then leave. The most uneconomical thing is that you take the initiative to ask for a divorce, not only to return the man's original dowry, but also to add interest, as well as mental damages. Taken together, it's not a small amount. Yoshimi Sato said seriously.

"It's not as terrible as you say, is it! If my mother had given birth to a boy, and it wasn't for me, would I have to marry him?" said Rie Sakai with a pursed smile.

Immediately, the three girls also laughed, and they couldn't help but make up their own brains.
