In this world, some people were born in Rome.

And Keisuke Nagasawa thinks that he was born as a cow and horse.

He doesn't have much of a family background, and his parents grew potatoes in Hokkaido.

But fortunately, Nagasawa is a hard-working person.

It always has been.

He believes that God rewards hard work, as long as you work hard and redouble your efforts, sooner or later you will get everything you want, money, status, and fame, sooner or later.

Keisuke Nagasawa has ambitions and ambitions, and he won't lie flat like most Heisei men, so what if he doesn't have a good background? What if the social class is solidified and it is difficult to rise?

He studied hard, worked hard to open the book and brush the questions, and won the opportunity to study abroad.

He worked hard, worked overtime until the early hours of the morning, and won the appreciation of his superiors for his outstanding performance.

He strives to pursue Miss Nagao, stalking and even abandoning his dignity in order to gain the favor of the president's only daughter.

In addition to these efforts that can be put on the table, he has also done a lot of things that are inconvenient to say.

But so what?

There are so many people in this world who can sit back and enjoy their achievements since they were born, and they are just trying their best to climb up by all the means they can use, what's wrong?

With the efforts of Keisuke Nagasawa, everything is developing in a good direction.

If nothing else, he will be able to marry Miss Nagao next year. After that, there is an opportunity to become a deputy minister and be promoted to a minister.

When the old president quits, or dies unexpectedly, he will have the opportunity to become the new president of Shimizu Club with the identity of his son-in-law!

Get ahead, get ahead.

Everything is close at hand.

This is the result of his hard work for so many years!

He deserves it!

Therefore, it must not be ruined because of a stupid thing that I did when I was a student, and a little ghost who appeared out of nowhere.

Absolutely not!

"Mr. Nagasawa, what are you thinking? If you grit your teeth, if the lantern is cold, it won't taste good. Or is your portion still eaten by me? ”

Kamiyagawa's voice pulls Keisuke Nagasawa back to reality from his complex mental activities.

Nagasawa is naturally not in the mood to taste delicious food now, so the last string of grilled lanterns also returned to Kamiyagawa.

"Although it is essentially the ovaries and immature eggs of chickens, the taste of baking lanterns is really good, and I can't get tired of eating it at all."

"Don't talk about baking lanterns, you haven't answered my question yet." Facing Kamiyagawa's Yuya Yuya, Keisuke Nagasawa was already starting to get impatient, "What do you really want?" Money? ”

"Oh? How much can you give me? Kamiyagawa raised an eyebrow, looking interested.

"2 million yen, you will disappear immediately after taking this money, we will not meet again from now on, and that thing will rot in your stomach, how about it?"

There were no customers in the izakaya, and the waiters were far away, but when Keisuke Nagasawa spoke, he kept his voice low.

2 million yen, which is definitely a huge amount of money for a minor at the age of a high school student.

"Mr. Nagasawa is so generous, no wonder others say that you are young and promising."

Kamiyagawa spoke, and as he finished speaking, he took the last lantern off the wooden skewer.

As you chew, the juice bursts in your mouth, mixed with fresh egg wash, and the fleshy part is elastic, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

Keisuke Nagasawa pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, probably thinking that his offer had pinched the minor in front of him, and he spoke with a little confidence, and with a daddy flavor:

"But I still have to remind you that it's best to accept it when you get the benefits. In addition, extortion is against the law, juvenile. ”

Man's greed fills the hole of dissatisfaction, and if there is a first act of extortion, there must be a second time.

Keisuke Nagasawa is all too clear about this.

If this little ghost in front of him is smart enough to take the money and disappear, it would naturally be best if he rotted that thing in his stomach.

Keisuke Nagasawa doesn't mind spending 2 million yen to eliminate disasters and keep his bright future.

But if Kamiyagawa is not greedy enough, he repeatedly uses this matter to blackmail and extort money.

After spending money to slow down the other party's actions, Keisuke Nagasawa had to take some special ways to deal with it, such as finding a way to quietly sink this little ghost into Tokyo Bay.

Kamiyagawa swallowed the lantern and began to skewer the wooden skewers: "2 million yen, a few screenshots copied on the Internet can be exchanged for so much money, I have made a lot of money." ”

"It's good that you understand. It seems that we have negotiated, and you agree with my proposal? ”

"Nope." Kamiyagawa put down the wooden skewer and smiled as he thought he was handsome, "I refuse." ”

This is a completely unexpected answer.

The corners of Keisuke Nagasawa's eyes twitched, and he was stunned for a long time. After more than ten seconds, he collected his expression and weighed the re-offer:

"There's not enough money, is it? 3,000,000, up to 3,000,000 yen. Boy, I advise you not to be too greedy. ”

"It's not about the money, and I don't want your money."

Kamiyagawa said this, but what he thought in his heart was, don't shout at the price, big brother, I'm really excited.

"Don't want money? Heh, then what do you want? Keisuke Nagasawa doesn't seem to believe that very much.

"Didn't I say that? I received a small commission from Ms. Kuriyama. ”

Keisuke Nagasawa didn't reply, his gaze fell on the young man's face in front of him through the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses, cloudy and uncertain.

He couldn't figure out what this imp was doing for no apparent reason.

The atmosphere became eerie and dreary.

For a moment, all that was left was the rustling sound of the huge wall-mounted TV.

The black-and-white translation of "Romeo and Juliet" is playing the scene of the tryst dialogue between Luo and Zhu, and the two actors are reciting their lines very emotionally, singing the praises of beautiful love-

Juliet: "Who told you to find here?" ”

Romeo: "Love prompted me to probe this place. ”

Romeo: "Love makes the decision for me, I lend it the eyes of love." I don't know how to steer a boat, but if you're on the far seashore, I'll brave the storm to find your treasure. ”

At the dinner table, it was Kamiyagawa who broke the silence first.

"Mr. Nagasawa, I'm curious, did you really love Miss Kuriyama? Will you feel guilty about her death? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Keisuke Nagasawa narrowed his eyes, his expression uncertain.

"It's not interesting. From the time I found you until now, all you care about most is how to keep my mouth shut, isn't it? Kamiyagawa shrugged, "I just think maybe you should show guilt, even if it's just a little bit." ”

"You ......"

Keisuke Nagasawa's gaze turned cold and he was silent.

There are only voices left around from the black-and-white translated film "Romeo and Juliet"-

Juliet: "Romeo, do you love me?" I know you're going to say 'yes'. I will believe you, but maybe your oath is just a lie. ”

Juliet: "People say that the gods laugh at the treachery of lovers. ”
