My girlfriend is Ying Li Li

As for whether he was deceived or not, we can't make a conclusion at the moment.

"I understand." Hajima Kiyosuke took a breath, "Wait for me to ask."

After finishing the chat, Hajima Seisuke quickly called Hyōdo Michiru.

"Hello, Hashima?"

Hyodo Michiru's energetic voice came.

"it's me."

"Why did you call me suddenly?"

"School is about to start." Hashima Kiyosuke said calmly, "What have you been busy with lately?"

"I'm not busy with anything." Hyōdo Michiru pondered for a moment, "There are no classes, and everyone in the club is traveling...Every day is about eating, drinking, and having fun. Life is so empty."

Hajima Kiyosuke said insinuatingly:

"Is there anything you need help with?"

"No, no." Michiru Hyodo clearly felt guilty, "I'm fine."

Hajima Kiyosuke said silently:

"Play together tomorrow?"

"Okay... let's forget it." Hyōdo Michiru coughed twice and hesitated, "I have something to do tomorrow, so let's just say, hang up now."

"..."

Hajima Seisuke frowned and looked at his phone, and then sent messages to his seniors, Takumi, and Kato. Maybe Michiru had borrowed money from one of them.

Senior sister and Zari quickly responded to the message and did not receive a text message from Michiru, but Kato provided unexpected information.

"Well, I received news from Michiru yesterday." Classmate Sage's senses are super sharp, "Did something happen to Michiru?"

Hajima Kiyosuke hesitated for a few seconds before sending a video invitation.

The video was connected quickly.

Classmate Shengren, who has long hair reaching his waist and a calm expression, appeared in the video.

"Hashima-kun, good evening."

The usual plain voice sounded softly, like wind chimes under the eaves, soft and pleasant.

Hajima Seisuke saw the background of the room behind Kato, smiled and said:

"reading a book?"

"I'm a little bored at home during the New Year, so I read a book." Megumi Kato gently turned the pencil on her fingertips, "What's wrong with Michiru?"

Hajima Kiyosuke's expression became serious and he explained the situation just now.

"Hmm..." After listening to the narration, Kato Megumi frowned slightly, "Michiru sent me a message last night, asking if I could help him out. Could it be the same thing?"

"Probably so." Hashima Kiyosuke nodded lightly, "But whether Michiru was deceived or it was something else, I don't know yet. I can only ask her to find out."

Megumi Kato pursed her beautiful lips: "Let me ask Michiru?"

"Leave it to you." Hajima Kiyosuke nodded, "I called Michiru just now, but she didn't tell me."

As for whether Kato can collect useful information... Hajima Kiyosuke is not worried.

As a master-level concealment master, Kato Megumi wants to spy on information with ease.

"I'll get off first and contact you later."

"..."

After ending the video call with Kato, Hashima Kiyosuke waited silently.

It didn't take long.

About ten minutes later, Hashima Kiyosuke received a video invitation from Kato.

"how's it going?"

Hajima Kiyosuke asked.

Megumi Kato said softly: "Michiru said that he has been playing game consoles in the past two days and lost some money. He is very unwilling to do so."

An idea flashed in his mind, and Hashima Seisuke blurted out:

"Is it Brother Pachinko?"

"Eh?" Classmate Shengren blinked, quickly remembered, tilted his head and said, "Last year's Christmas Eve?"

"It should be right."

Hajima Kiyosuke frowned slightly and became worried.

On Christmas Eve last year, everyone went to a concert together and ate KFC in the evening. When they agreed to gather in the afternoon, Hajima Seisuke and Ginko arrived first, and then were dragged into the pachinko shop next door by Michiru, where they kept playing. After a long time, Michiru was forcibly pulled out by Hajima Seisuke.

I thought that the matter would end like this, but now it seems that not only is it not over, the idiot Michiru is actually addicted!

"My neighbor's grandpa who lives near my house likes to play pachinko very much." Megumi Kato said quickly, "I heard that I lost all my retirement money once, and I almost had a big fight with my grandma about it. Divorce...Michiru must be addicted, right?"

Hajima Seisuke sighed and pressed his fingers between his eyebrows: "If I'm not addicted, how could I ask you to borrow money?"

Gambling is an ancient entertainment that was born with the birth of human beings. From ordinary people to officials and nobles, countless people took part in it and eventually lost their entire fortune.

Don’t these people know the dangers of gambling?

Definitely know.

It’s just that many people are pretending to be blind.

It’s like the whole world knows that smoking is harmful to health and the cancers caused by smoking are shocking, but there are still countless smokers who turn a blind eye.

Pachinko is the most popular gambling and entertainment machine in Japan. Countless people are addicted to it. Naturally, there is something that makes people want to stop.

There is no doubt that Michiru is one of them now.

"It's really troublesome." Megumi Kato frowned slightly, with a rare expression of distress on his face, "People who are addicted to gambling find it hard to listen to what others say."

I definitely won’t listen to it. If one sentence could wake people up, there wouldn’t be so many people going bankrupt.

Now that we understand the situation, the next step is how to help Himido Michiru quit Internet addiction... No, quit Pachinko.

The problem is that they are not in the same school, and they are usually out of reach, and Michiru cannot be locked up in the basement and guarded all day long.

Hashima Seisuke and Kato discussed for a while and finally came up with a solution.

"Hashima-kun, see you tomorrow." Kato said softly, "Mom asked me to go down for dinner."

"Go ahead and see you tomorrow."

After ending the video chat, Hajima Seisuke quickly dialed Michiru's number.

"Hashima?" Hyodo Michiru's voice rang in his ears, and he asked doubtfully, "Why did you call me again?"

Seisuke Hashima got straight to the point:

"Let's go play pachinko together tomorrow?"

"Eh?" Michiru Hyōdo raised her voice in shock, "You want to play too? No, I didn't even let you play during Christmas last year..."

Hyōdo Michiru suddenly became alert, but he was not too stupid: "Did someone say something to you?"

"Don't ask so many questions." Hashima Seisuke said decisively, "We will meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning in front of the pachinko shop where we visited for the first time."

"Okay." Hyōdo Michiru agreed, "Since you said you want to play, don't let me go."

"Don't worry." Hajima Kiyosuke said solemnly, "You will have to play for a long time tomorrow, so be prepared."

"..."

A night of silence.

the next day.

Hashima Seisuke got up on time in the morning under the influence of his biological clock. After washing, he had breakfast, played Ring Fitness Adventure for half an hour, and finally got dressed and left the apartment.

The New Year has passed, and there are countless office workers carrying briefcases and suits in subway and tram stations. Spring has not yet arrived, but the workers have already begun their busy work in the new year.

Hashima Seisuke got on the train and wandered all the way to the place where they dated last Christmas.

After waiting for a while, a straight black girl wearing a scarf and a white hat walked over.

"Hashima-kun, good morning."

The unhurried and plain voice sounded like catkins in the wind, soft and pleasant.

"Good morning." Looking at his sage classmate whom he hadn't seen for several days, Hajima Seisuke suddenly laughed and said warmly, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I just went out after breakfast."

"That's good." Hashima Seisuke handed over the can of hot coffee he just bought, "Here you go, cover your hands."

Kato Megumi took it with both hands and held it in her palms, "Thank you, Hashima-kun."

Hyōdo Michiru hadn't come over yet, so the two of them were standing in the corner, chatting, and naturally there were endless topics to talk about.

A cold wind blew.

Kato Megumi subconsciously raised her hand to hold the hair by her ears. The girl's skirt and hair fluttered gently in the wind, causing the two teenagers passing nearby to peek secretly.

Hajima Kiyosuke coughed twice and said, "Mr. Megumi's presence has become stronger and stronger recently."

"It should be the presence of the hair, right?" Kato wrote lightly, "If you cut your hair short again, it will probably be ignored by everyone... What do you think, Hajima-kun?"

Hajima Kiyosuke quickly said: "Whether you have long hair or short hair, you all look good."

"Hmm..." Classmate Sage gently wrapped his fingers around the hair beside his ears and complained in a nonchalant tone, "Hashima-kun seems to be getting better and better at coaxing girls."

Hajima Kiyosuke: "..."

While speaking, Hashima Kiyosuke's shoulder was suddenly patted hard, followed by a hearty and energetic laughter: "Hello, long time no see, good morning!"

"Michiru, good morning."

Kato waved his right hand and responded softly.

"Hey, wait a minute." Hyōdo Michiru suddenly reacted, "Why is Xiaomei here too?"

"Um..." Kato tilted his head, "Let Hajima-kun explain the reason."

Hajima Seisuke said nothing and looked at Hyōdo Michiru silently.

The last time we met was on Christmas Eve. We all had Christmas fried chicken from KFC, and then we parted ways at the tram stop. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and time also entered the new year.

Hyodo Michiru looks...

Still fresh and capable, ear-length short hair.

He has a hearty smile full of energy, and when he smiles, two small dimples will appear on his cheeks.

She wore a down jacket on her upper body, and no skirt underneath, but blue jeans that were different from most girls. Against the background of her height of 1.7 meters, her legs looked even more slender, which made people look at her.

"Why have you been silent all this time?"

Hyōdo Michiru took half a step back, a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

"sore throat."

"Hey, I just saw you and Xiaomei having a very happy chat." Hyōdo Michiru curled her lips in disdain, "My throat hurts when you talk to me. You value sex over friends. That's too much."

Shut up! If you really valued sex over friends, I would not appear in front of you in the cold wind today, but would ignore you!

Hashima Seisuke had a headache: "Let's go play with small steel balls."

Hyōdo Michiru naturally had no objection, but was quite curious: "Last time I asked you to play, you still refused to play. Why do you suddenly want to play with small steel balls today?"

"To be precise, Kato and I came over to watch you play."

Hashima Seisuke chose to tell the truth.

"Eh?" Hyōdo Yoshichi was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"You can play whatever you want today." Hashima Seisuke said calmly, "I don't have enough money."

"Suddenly so generous..." Hyōdo Michiru covered her chest with her hands and suddenly became wary, "You don't want to support me, do you?"

Hajima Kiyosuke's steps stopped, and the calmness on his face could no longer be maintained. Even Kato couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"You're thinking too much." Hashima Seisuke's face was full of black lines, and he distanced himself from this fool. "I just want to see how fun the little steel balls are, that's all."
