"Eri is my deceased husband's child, and since we were married at the time, she is technically my child."

In the living room, Tachibana Maki said as she tried to hand the shrimp balls handed by Saki Amamiya to the little girl in her arms.

The latter doesn't seem to appreciate it, don't overdo it, and don't mean to eat it at all.

Seeing this scene, An He couldn't help but be a little curious, and tentatively inserted a shrimp ball with a toothpick and handed it to Eri Tachibana, but he didn't expect the other party to directly open his mouth "ah" this time, and ate the shrimp ball.

"It seems that Miss Tachibana and Lingnu don't have a good relationship."

An He smiled and joked, but also thought that the little guy in front of him was quite interesting, so he continued to feed.

For his ridicule, Tachibana Zhenyi only squirmed his lips and did not refute it.

After being silent for a long time, Tachibana Zhenyi suddenly spoke, looked at An He and asked:

"Can we talk individually?"

"Talking alone? Looking for me? ”

An He was a little surprised, looked around at the women watching around the circle, thought about it, and did not refuse.

"Okay, where are we going to talk?"

"Just outside the door."

Tachibana sincerely proposed.

Hearing this, An He nodded.

Eri Tachibana sat down on a high-legged chair, and the two of them got up and walked towards the entrance one after the other.

Before leaving, An He also gave Amamiya Sawu a reassuring look.

Coming to the corridor outside the door, Tachibana Zhenyi did not rush to explain the matter, but slowly took out a pack of ladies cigarettes from his pocket, lit them and took a puff, then turned around, looked at the sunset hanging in the sky in the distance, and said quietly while gently exhaling the smoke ring:

"I'm going to die."

As soon as the words fell, because of the reminder of the previous narrator, An He was not too shocked, but nodded slightly and asked curiously.

"Why?"

Tachibana Zhenyi glanced at An He with some surprise, obviously not expecting the latter to be so calm, but he was relieved when he thought of the relationship between the two.

After all, it's just a meeting in the water, so why bother with mood swings about the death of a stranger?

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Tachibana Zhenyi explained half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Maybe it's because I've done a lot of evil, and God has given me a death notice."

With that, she turned around, leaned her shoulders on the corridor fence, held a cigarette in one hand and hugged her chest in the other, and just looked at An He quietly for a long time before smiling and speaking.

"Do you know how many people I've killed?"

The words fell, and without waiting for An He to ask, she looked sideways at the sky in the distance again, and said to herself: "One hundred and forty-nine people, since I joined the club, there are one hundred and forty-nine people who died directly at my hands. ”

"All sunk to Tokyo Bay?"

Ann interjected inappropriately.

When the latter heard this, he looked at him in surprise, but he didn't deny it.

After a moment of silence, An He asked again, "Why did Miss Tachibana embark on this path?" ”

An He's words were like revealing a scar in the deepest part of Tachibana Zhenyi's heart, her eyes obviously changed, and she sighed for a long time before she explained quietly.

"My real name is not Tachibana, but Nagase Makoto, and my mother is a special action movie actress who has worked with hundreds of actors, and I don't even know which one of them is my biological father."

"Since I was a child, my mother has brainwashed me into wanting me to inherit her mantle and continue to promote action actresses in Japan, but I don't want to do that."

"So, at the age of sixteen, when my mother wanted me to collaborate on a film with her, I ran away from home and came to Tokyo from Osaka alone."

"When I first arrived in the big city, I was like a mouse in the gutter, beware of the wild cats that prey on my flesh, and I had to run around for a living."

"Last year, by chance, I met Kyoichi Tachibana, the leader of the local underground gang, who, although he is nearly 40 years old, can give me everything I want, money, status, and ...... Safe. ”

"After less than half a day of hesitation, I made a decision. I'm going to be the woman of Kyoichi Tachibana and get everything he has. ”

"As it turned out, I did."

"When I was a child, my mother taught me every day and night, and I was fascinated by my fascination before I even touched my hand a few times, and I signed a marriage contract with him naturally."

"On the night of my wedding, it was also the first time I killed someone."

"Because I wasn't very skilled, my hands were covered in blood that night, and the smell is still disgusting in retrospect."

"Afterwards, I was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so I deliberately set the marital room on fire to create the illusion of an accidental fire, and in order to ensure that I was not exposed, I did not leave the room until the firefighters rescued me from the bathroom full of fire."

"As soon as Tachibana Jing died, he became a charred corpse that emitted a strong stench all the time, and I, as a surviving person, became the sister-in-law of the underground organization."

"At first, there were many people who were not convinced, and even tried to covet my body, but they obviously didn't realize that I was no longer the girl who first arrived in Tokyo and wagged her tail to passers-by for a steamed bun."

"All those who oppose me and who are disrespectful to me will be sunk by me in Tokyo Bay."

In the last sentence, Tachibana Zhenyi said very plainly, but An He felt a chill inexplicably.

It was as if at that moment, he was put in an iron bucket, watching others water his lower body with cement, and when it solidified, he sank the bucket into the cold and dark deep sea little by little.

Looking at Tachibana Zhenyi again, An He's eyes had changed.

Originally, he only thought that this woman was powerful, had a background, and was ruthless, but he never expected that the other party would climb from nothing to this point step by step.

Although Tachibana Zhenyi only talked about his own experience in a few words, anyone can hear the hardships.

What's more, during this period, Tachibana Zhenyi also killed so many people with his own hands.

Where is this a bit ruthless, this is clearly the living Hades......

Shaking his head, An He decided not to think about it anymore.

Tachibana Zhenyi's experience is legendary, but what he wants to know most at the moment is why the other party found him.

As if seeing the doubt in An He's eyes, Tachibana Zhenyi couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and with a flick of his fingers, he flicked the cigarette that had long been burned out into the garbage bag on the side.

He took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and was about to light it, but was suddenly snatched away by a large hand.

"If you have cancer, let's smoke a little less, maybe you can live two more days, if you really want to hold something, try this."

As he spoke, An He put his hand into his pocket, and when he took it out again, there was already an extra line of sky blue lace edge PC in his palm.

Tachibana Zhenyi was stunned, and An He was also stunned, but soon he reacted again, quickly put it back in his pocket, took out a lollipop from another trouser pocket, and said apologetically:

"Sorry, I just took the wrong one."

Tachibana looked at it with amusement, and didn't reach out to take it.

Seeing this, a touch of embarrassment flashed on An He's face, and after thinking about it, he changed his hand and lifted the lollipop in front of Tachibana Zhenyi.

The latter took it, but while tearing the package, his eyes were staring at An He's pocket, and he finally couldn't help but be curious for a long time, and asked:

"Whose was that one just now?"

"Forehead ........."

An He touched his nose in embarrassment, but he didn't hide it, explaining:

"Serizawa Yui, it's the girl with short hair in the room."

Hearing this, Tachibana Zhenyi frowned slightly, and her disdain was not concealed in her tone.

"You her?"

"How is it possible, do I look like such a hungry person."

Ann retorted sharply.

Hearing this, Tachibana Zhenyi's brows slowly loosened, and he muttered while taking the lollipop into his mouth, feeling the sweetness that he had only tasted when he was a child.

"That's pretty much it."

After that, she turned her head to look at the sky covered with red glow, her eyes were not confused before but a little more brilliance, and she said quietly:

"The girl in Eri Tachibana is very smart, although she didn't say it, but I can feel that she actually knew that her father died because of me, and the reason why she didn't say it explicitly may also be a kind of self-protection, she knows that as long as I die, no one in the club will care about her anymore, let alone care, whether she is the daughter of the previous president or something."

"So smart?"

An He was a little surprised, and subconsciously remembered the picture when he had just fed the little girl.

Obviously she looks like a seven or eight-year-old girl, who would have thought that the other party could have such a heavy mind.

Tachibana continued to explain.

"I know I don't have much time left, so I want to find a place for this girl to grow up healthily, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation."

"So you found me?"

An He had a faint guess in his heart.

Hearing his words, Tachibana nodded sincerely.

Seeing this, the corners of An He's mouth twitched, but he was still a little puzzled, and asked curiously: "Why me, don't you still have a doctor friend?" ”

"She's ......"

A little reminiscence flashed in Tachibana Zhenyi's eyes, and he couldn't help but think of a short-haired woman in a white coat, but he finally shook his head.

"Only the dead keep secrets."

After that, Tachibana Zhenyi looked at An He again, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and said quietly:

"As for you, you're a good person."

"Uh...... Thanks for the compliment. ”

An He was a little speechless, but he quickly reacted again, looking at Tachibana Zhenyi and raising his eyebrows.

"Why should I help you?"

Seeing him say this, Tachibana Zhenyi did not answer immediately, but slowly took out a stack of documents from his satchel and asked:

"Is this okay?"

An He took it curiously, and took a general look, but was suddenly stunned.

There are not many documents, a total of six, but all of them are contracts for the transfer of assets without exception.

There are shares of the Amamiya family, and there are also contracts for the transfer of other properties.

"I'm going to transfer all the inheritance."

An He looked at Tachibana Zhenyi in surprise, and the latter smiled when he heard this.

"Sort of, I've officially handed over the community to someone else, and from today on, I will no longer live as Tachibana Zhenyi."

"So what? Nagase's true intentions? ”

Ann asked curiously, and although Tachibana didn't say it clearly, he could feel that the other party seemed to have a very bad impression of her mother.

Come to think of it, a woman who even wants to catch up with her own daughter in order to be famous is indeed not worthy of being called a mother.

On the other side, Tachibana Zhenyi was also confused.

She stared blankly at the gradually setting sunset, carefully searched in her mind for a long time, and finally found that it seemed that she couldn't find any other surname except Nagase.

Through the side face, looking at Tachibana Zhenyi's confused eyes, after hesitating for a moment, An He simply proposed:

"Otherwise, the surname Anhe."

"Huh?"

Tachibana Zhenyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked back at An and Yusheng, and saw that the latter had a serious face, and repeated it again seriously.

"Or it's called Anhe, Anhe's true intentions."

Tachibana Zhenyi looked at An He in a daze, looked at each other, and for a long time, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and then nodded.

"It's not unpleasant, just call it this, An and Zhenyi."

Under the sunset, the two looked at each other and smiled, and their figures were gradually elongated.

It's just that soon, An He's expression changed slightly.

Because in front of his eyes, a light curtain with white characters on a black background suddenly appeared above Tachibana Zhenyi's head.

[Name: Ann and Makoto]

[Current Status: Rising Flowers Approaching Wilting]

[Current Opinion: 57 (Confidant)]

[The current achievable endings are as follows]

[(1) Thorny roses withered in slaughter.] Condition: Reject all requests. (Reward: Master Language Mastery)]

[(2) The short but beautiful afterglow of life. Condition: Before the other party dies, reach 80% favorability. (Reward: 30 Base Attribute Points)]

[Hidden ending (3): Nirvana rebirth.] Achievement Condition: Unknown. (Reward: Unknown)】

"This Nima ......"

Before An He could digest the information of the light curtain, the voice of the narrator sounded in his head again.

[I thought I was a smart move, but I didn't know that I had already become an outcast. has played with others for a lifetime, but in the end, he will be played with by others for the rest of his life. Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in your eyes: since they are all being toyed with, why not replace them yourself? I think you, a docile lamb, are more in tune with those people's appetites than thorny roses......]

After listening to the narrator's words, An He's fists clenched hard.

Sometimes he really wanted to dig out his brain, pull out the narrator, whip him hard, drip wax, and then shove his size 40 shoes through the back door.

[Are you finally going to wake up?] Whips, wax drops, maybe you're missing an eye patch and mouth plug! I vaguely remember that Kurolai Nadeshiko used to draw these scenes when she was creating, and I think there must be corresponding props in her place, so you can get drunk tonight, and then sneak into her home and use those props on everyone in the room one by one......]

"Hiss~"

An He gasped, he really didn't expect Heilai Nadezi to have such a hobby.

No wonder at the beginning, there were eighteen secrets in the ending of the other party.

"It seems that there are still a lot of places that Miss Nadeshiko needs to develop."

Believing it like this, An He couldn't help but show a wicked smile.

"What are you thinking?"

Tachibana ...... Oh no, it should be Ann and Zhen Yi now.

Her name was An He, and she suddenly showed a lewd smile, and couldn't help but speak curiously.

The latter came back to his senses when he heard this, waved his hand and said casually: "No, I just thought of something fun." ”

After the words fell, An He looked down at the several contracts in his hand again, and without thinking about it, he pulled out the one for the transfer of shares of Amamiya Group, as well as a real estate transfer contract for a suburban villa.

The rest was handed back to Zhenyi by An and Yusheng.

Seeing that the latter did not answer, but cast a puzzled look, An He couldn't help but chuckle and explained:

"I promise you, the contract of the Amamiya Group belongs to the Amamiya sisters, this is a matter of course, it just so happens that I am planning to buy a house recently, this house should be regarded as a living expense for Eri, as for the rest, I don't need it, you better take it back."

Hearing him say this, An He's eyes moved slightly, but in the end, he smiled slightly, nodded and took the rest of the contract.

"Thank you."
