Crossover: Becoming Japan’s Prime Minister? Chapter 303 304: Pet Arisu

"I do want to learn these things by your side, but the price I have to pay seems a bit high."

Saying this, Arisu lowered her gaze, her expression complicated.

"It's nothing big. Anyway, it's not the first ti you've made a deal with . The first ti might make you nervous, but are you still nervous now?"

Toru said with a smile.

Arisu said indignantly, "The first ti, I was also forced by you."

"That was our equivalent exchange. You only paid the price of a few concessions, but you gained the stability of the Sakanayagi family. Even if your father were to judge it, he would definitely think it was a very profitable deal."

Toru's shaless words left Arisu speechless for a mont. She said sowhat nervously, "You must not tell my father about this."

Her father was an old scholar. If he knew that she had paid such a price, her father would definitely get angry.

If her father really lost his mind and wanted to vent that anger on Toru, then the Sakanayagi family would be in danger.

The longer she stayed by Toru's side, the more she felt the mystery surrounding this man. This mystery did not co from the resources and support of the Fujiwara family, but from the man himself.

Arisu strongly suspected that Toru controlled a more powerful force, a force even stronger than the Fujiwara family.

Logically, this seed impossible. The Fujiwara family was, after all, Japan's largest political family.

But if placed in the context of the entire world, the Fujiwara family seed like nothing. Their sphere of influence was sowhat stretched even outside Kyoto, let alone completely detached from the island nation of Japan.

Even a giant like the Shinomiya Zaibatsu in Japan would feel fearful and uneasy when facing the financial giants of Arica, needing to cut off its tail to survive.

"I won't look for trouble. So things are enough as long as only you and I know about them, Arisu. Letting your father know will only add unnecessary trouble. What I want is you, not the Sakanayagi family."

Toru smiled ambiguously.

Arisu sighed softly. "Should I be grateful to you, or should I be secretly pleased that in your eyes, my importance surpasses the Sakanayagi family? Don't say it, I really do feel a bit of joy inside."

This was what Arisu was most conflicted about.

She was actually happy because of Toru's words.

What did this represent? It represented that she was probably going to truly beco soone shaped by Toru, with everything centered around his mood.

She was happy when he praised her, and afraid when he scolded her. This... what was the difference between this and a pet?

The naturally arrogant Arisu actually detested such a relationship.

But she had no choice. When facing this man, Toru, all her pride and self-esteem were completely shattered.

Her confident display of genius seed like a thin piece of glass in front of this man, shattering upon impact.

If she were to tell her two-years-ago self that one day, she, Arisu, would willingly beco a man's pet, her two-years-ago self would probably laugh at her present self.

But the truth was, Arisu had, unknowingly, beco a pet.

Seeing Arisu's annoyed expression, Toru smiled warmly and said, "Don't think too much. Sotis you just need to clear your mind and go with your heart."

However, Arisu curled her lips and sneered contemptuously. "If I really did as you asked, then I would completely lose myself and beco nothing more than a yes-man who only listens to you."

"Haha, it seems Arisu is a smart woman. Actually, I don't like those yes-n either. I prefer won with their own opinions, so Arisu, you need to work hard. Strive to maintain yourself and your personality. That's the you I like."

Toru said this seriously.

Arisu's tone was calm. "Indeed, obedient slaves always act the sa way, and they quickly lose their novelty."

"What you want to see is the process of my inner struggle and pain, while still having no choice but to do as you ask and beco your pet."

Arisu recognized Toru's ability, and even admired his capability.

But there was one point. Arisu would not beco this man's plaything just because of this slight admiration. Her self-respect and pride would absolutely not allow it.

Yet the reality was, she had no choice. She was constantly threatened by this man and could only do as he asked.

What this man appreciated was precisely her unyielding defiance. If she were to truly yield one day, he might lose interest in her.

Therefore, I cannot develop feelings that are too deep for this man. It would make less like myself.

As Arisu was thinking, Toru saw through her thoughts and said, "You're thinking too much, Arisu..."

"Besides the amusent and satisfaction you bring , you are sowhat different from other won."

"That is, you have ability. You can help handle many things. So even if you lose yourself one day, I will still dote on you, as long as your ability remains."

Arisu stared at Toru with eyes like she was looking at trash. "I don't need your doting."

"Haha, a very interesting look. It's about ti. Let's go have lunch."

Toru glanced at the watch on his wrist, stood up, and said, "How about it? You sat there for so long just now. Can your legs walk?"

"I don't need your unnecessary concern. My legs are just inconvenient, and my body is a bit weak. I haven't beco crippled."

Arisu said irritably.

She walked to the side, picked up her cane, and went to the door one step ahead of Toru. She carefully opened the door and secretly peeked outside.

Seeing that there was no one outside, she breathed a sigh of relief, fully opened the door, and walked out of Toru's office.

Arisu cared about her reputation. She didn't want anyone to see her coming out of Toru's office.

That's right, she had entered the governnt building under the pretext of doing business, and then sneaked into Toru's office.

Following behind Toru, Arisu noticed that he didn't go directly to the building's cafeteria. She asked in confusion, "Aren't we eating in the cafeteria?"

Toru said, "Didn't you not want people to see us together? If we eat in the cafeteria, then everyone will suspect sothing."

Arisu thought Toru had changed his ways, but after he took her to a restaurant outside, Arisu regretted ever having such a thought.

They sat in a corner of the restaurant, where the tablecloth on the table was long enough to hide most of what was beneath it.

And Toru had Arisu sit across from him. To her unease, he placed a stack of materials in front of her.

This scoundrel actually made her handle sothing like this in a public place?

The reason he chose this restaurant was because the tablecloth here was long enough, and the corner was secluded enough.

Toru said playfully, "Just now in the office, you didn't finish reviewing everything. This ti, you need to work hard. We now have an hour for lunch break. If you don't want to get too tired, then work hard and teach yourself so techniques."

He really still wanted to humiliate her!
