After all, anyone who fights often knows that injuries don't feel so bad on the day they happen, but the most painful moment is often the next day.
Hoshino Saori's face showed anger as she said, "Who did this?! This is outrageous!"
"My dad made a bet with someone to get a piece of land."
Yato-hime casually explained, "The other side sent ten people, armed with baseball bats, to fight me."
I lost, so I'll give them the land.
"I won, so the land is ours."
The main source of income for the Yato Group is real estate and financial investment.
Despite Japan's enactment of strict laws to regulate yakuza groups, the Yato-gumi is not a legally registered "designated yakuza group," but rather a yakuza organization disguised as a legitimate company.
By "paying" enough kickbacks to well-connected members of Congress each year, one can cleverly circumvent legal risks.
The reason her parents were imprisoned had little to do with the main business of the group; it was purely because they were implicated by their unruly subordinates.
Those henchmen thought the money came too slowly, so they secretly went off to sell drugs.
After her parents discovered the affair, they immediately used "family law" to execute the group.
Unfortunately, the police had already been monitoring them, and this act was deemed "murder to silence witnesses."
Ultimately, her parents were sentenced to twenty years in prison as the masterminds.
"But isn't your dad in jail right now?"
Saori Hoshino was somewhat puzzled.
Yatohime sighed, "Recently, the West has seen a trend of using drones to deliver supplies to prisons, and some people in Japan have followed suit."
My husband has someone place an order for me, and now he can text me every day and even video call me.
Saori Hoshino fell silent, unsure where to begin her comment.
Don't the prisons even care?
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of her friend, saying, "Your uncle went too far."
How could he possibly make such a dangerous suggestion to you?!
"It's alright," Yato-hime said nonchalantly. "The old man knows I can beat those guys."
Ever since the old man discovered that his daughter was exceptionally good at fighting, he has been taking advantage of her for quite some time now.
Saori Hoshino was speechless.
Indeed, everyone's family background and experiences are completely different, making it difficult for outsiders to comment.
Just as an awkward silence fell over the room, the door to the philosophy club was suddenly pushed open gently.
A timid voice came from the doorway:
"Um... excuse me, can the philosophy club really help people solve their problems?"
Chapter 83 Goblins Among Teachers
Hoshino Saori looked toward the door upon hearing the sound.
The door wasn't fully pushed open, only a narrow crack was left, as if if a negative answer was received, the person behind the door would immediately slam it shut and flee without looking back.
"Looks like a student with social anxiety..."
Hoshino Saori thought to herself, then raised her voice and replied, "That's right!"
Our philosophy club exists precisely to help students solve various problems.
Is there anything we can help you with?
Hearing the person in question confirm it, the girl outside seemed to finally muster up some courage, and almost silently pushed the door open completely, carefully stepping into the entryway.
She is only about 1.5 meters tall, which is quite petite even among girls.
She had an ordinary appearance and an unremarkable figure. Wearing the same dark blue school uniform, she didn't have the dazzling brilliance of Yatohime at all. Instead, she looked rather unremarkable and rustic.
Yatohime tried to soften her sharp gaze.
She disliked showing off her strength in front of the weak, but was only keen to bare her fangs at those who were arrogant.
However, despite her best efforts to conceal it, the blonde girl still exuded a powerful and unsettling aura in the eyes of Aya Hashimoto, who was visiting.
She was the school's undisputed leader of the delinquents.
Despite being just a freshman in high school, she can easily take down a sophomore.
Before deciding whether to ask the philosophy club for help, Aya Hashimoto struggled internally for a long time before finally mustering the courage to come here.
"Good morning, my name is Aya Hashimoto, and I am a student in Class D of Grade 11."
She bowed deeply, introduced herself in a voice barely audible, and then closed the door to the philosophy club.
She took off her shoes in the entryway, her feet, encased in black stockings, silently treading on the activity room floor, her movements so gentle as if afraid of disturbing the air.
Hoshino Saori nodded and said in a friendly tone, "So you're a second-year high school student. May I ask what brings you here?"
"actually……"
Aya Hashimoto hesitated for a moment, then, as if making up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "Look at this."
As she spoke, she took her phone out of her school uniform pocket, unlocked the screen, and opened the Twitter private message interface.
One of the private messages prominently displayed a photo.
It was clearly taken from a low angle, and the blue and white underwear and light blue skirt can be clearly seen in the picture.
The photo was accompanied by a line of text.
"Don't worry, I won't send such a cute photo to anyone else~"
But if you do something unnecessary, then it's hard to say.
Saori Hoshino's eyes widened instantly in astonishment. "Senpai, this...this is your photo?!"
Aya Hashimoto nodded heavily, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Yes, I wore this the day before yesterday."
I don't know who took these photos of me without my knowledge, and they even found my Twitter account. I'm so scared, I don't know what to do..."
"boom!"
Yatohime slammed her hand on the low table in front of her, and the sudden sound startled Hashimoto Aya.
"How could they do such a despicable thing! They deserve to die!"
Yatohime's voice was filled with rage.
Although she personally believes that there is not much difference between underwear and swimwear, this blatant act of taking photos without consent, coupled with the threatening message, undoubtedly constitutes a heinous crime.
Recovering from her shock, Hoshino Saori thoughtfully analyzed, "Judging from this situation, it's very likely that it was done by students within the school..."
Given that girls with fetishes like Tanaka Satomi exist, she cannot rule out the possibility that some girls might do the same thing.
Before Hashimoto Aya could speak, Yatohime added in a cold tone, "The teacher's suspicion cannot be ruled out either."
"A teacher wouldn't do something like that, would they?"
Saori Hoshino instinctively retorted.
Upon hearing this, Yatohime smirked and said, "No, there are quite a few perverts hiding in the teaching profession."
The government even established a special database for teacher perverts to register teachers with a history of such behavior.
"Seriously, such a thing exists?!"
Saori Hoshino was stunned, feeling as if she had stumbled upon a dark corner hidden in the sunlight.
Yatohime nodded and said, "When I was in elementary school, I had a teacher who was a pervert."
He was secretly taking pictures of the girls in our class, and I caught him red-handed, so I punched him a few times.
"You...you were able to beat him back then?"
Saori Hoshino remembers that when she was in elementary school, she was seen as a tiny child who had no ability to resist in the eyes of adults.
Yato-hime raised her head slightly, her tone carrying a sense of self-assurance: "Aside from Aozawa-sensei, I've never lost a fight."
"Great!"
Saori Hoshino clapped her hands in genuine admiration.
Seeing that the two seemed to have temporarily ended their discussion on this topic, Aya Hashimoto timidly spoke again, steer the conversation back on track: "Um, what should I do now?"
"Oh!"
Hoshino Saori snapped out of her daze and analyzed the situation clearly: "Since we can't rule out the teacher as a suspect, let's start by investigating the teacher."
"Senior, please think carefully, which teachers did you have contact with the day before yesterday?"
"The day before yesterday..."
Aya Hashimoto tried hard to recall, and said uncertainly, "I helped Mr. Kitagawa, who taught chemistry, move laboratory equipment."
"Then he's the prime suspect right now!"
Saori Hoshino immediately made the decision, "Let's start our investigation with him!"
Aya Hashimoto's face was still filled with unease as she asked in a low voice, "How exactly should we conduct our investigation?"
"First, let's talk to Professor Qingze."
Saori Hoshino believes that it would be safer to seek Aozawa's assistance in this matter.
……
After leaving the principal's office, Qingze walked down the corridor to the fifth floor and pushed open the door to the faculty and staff office.
Dozens of teachers' desks are neatly arranged in the spacious faculty and staff room.
His gaze swept across the room, and he immediately spotted a striking scarlet label among the many teachers.
【Goblin】
Qingze couldn't help but glance at that person a few more times.
The man looked to be in his early fifties, with a typical Mediterranean-style thinning haircut, wearing a black suit, a black tie, and glasses perched on his nose.
