Sayuri looked at this stupid daughter of hers.
"Indeed, our family is not short of 8 million yen. But that is still money, isn't it?"
Regarding her daughter's stupidity, Sayuri's heart was filled with helplessness.
Just as Hakuto said, if the Sawamura Family fell into Eriri's hands, the Sawamura Family would probably be dood.
A trace of anger appeared in Eriri's eyes. "Then can't you just give this 8 million?"
"Eriri, do you know that you are disappointing ?"
If it were before, Sayuri wouldn't have minded giving Eriri 8 million yen for her to give to Tomoya to pay his debts. But not now.
Hakuto already saw the Sawamura Family as a potential enemy. Sayuri couldn't let Hakuto and the Sawamura Family beco enemies.
Don't be fooled by Hakuto being just an ordinary person now. Hakuto possessed that magical diary and could receive countless rewards at any ti. Who knows when he might beco full-fledged.
If she could eliminate Hakuto, Sayuri wouldn't have so many concerns. But now, Sayuri couldn't do it.
As soon as she had even a little malicious intent towards Hakuto, she could be obliterated by the diary at any ti.
So, what Sayuri could do now was to as much as possible resolve and dispel Hakuto's malice towards the Sawamura Family.
And the first thing to do was to make her daughter stop doing stupid things.
"I have always known that you like Aki Tomoya. Before, I thought that sooner or later you would realize that Aki Tomoya is not suitable for you. In a few more years, you would understand."
"Does Aki Tomoya know that you like him? He definitely knows. But has Aki Tomoya shown any sign? He strings you along, moving between you all, just like you strung Hakuto along."
"Mom, don't ntion Hakuto anymore. That guy is so annoying."
"What did Hakuto ever do wrong to you? He cared for you for so long. And you? How did you treat him?"
Sayuri said coldly.
"He did it willingly. What does that have to do with ?"
"Aren't you doing it willingly now too? You are the sa as Hakuto. Hakuto used to be your simp, and you are Aki Tomoya's simp. Has Aki Tomoya ever promised you anything?"
Sayuri looked at her daughter and spoke coldly.
"I guess Aki Tomoya never promised you anything, right? At most, he said sothing like 'At a ti like this, Eriri, you're the reliable one.' Other than that, nothing, right?"
Eriri's expression instantly stiffened.
"8 million yen. Has Aki Tomoya ever ntioned paying it back? Has he said how he would pay the money back? When will he pay it back?"
Eriri didn't speak, because Tomoya had never ntioned it once.
"So, what difference is there between you and Hakuto now? You are also a simp. It's just that you are Aki Tomoya's simp."
Eriri looked at her mother. She felt that her mother now seed very strange!
"Eriri, I'll tell you directly. I will not lend you this money. And I will not lend it to Aki Tomoya either."
Seeing her mother like that, Eriri imdiately panicked. After all, she had made a promise in front of Tomoya.
Seeing her daughter's stubborn appearance, Sayuri didn't bother with Eriri anymore. But in Sayuri's heart, she felt great dissatisfaction with Tomoya.
If it weren't for Tomoya, her daughter wouldn't have treated Hakuto like that. Perhaps Hakuto could have even beco her son-in-law.
Too bad it's too late now.
…
The next day, Eriri arrived at the club. Tomoya looked at Eriri expectantly. Eriri turned her head away, then said sowhat embarrassedly, "My mother refused to lend the money."
Hearing this, Tomoya's expression imdiately stiffened.
Tomoya looked at Eriri, his eyes full of accusation.
"Eriri, didn't you say there would be no problem?"
"I don't know why my mother's attitude suddenly changed."
Thinking of her mother's change in attitude yesterday, Eriri was also confused, wondering why had her mother suddenly beco like this.
Her attitude towards her had also taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Tomoya said sowhat crazily, "If I don't have the money, then I'll be arrested the day after tomorrow. How can we still complete the bet then?"
Tomoya looked at Utaha.
Seeing Aki Tomoya's gaze turn to her, Utaha furrowed her delicate brows slightly.
"Utaha, please. You're the only one left now. You're the only one I can rely on now."
Looking at the Tomoya in front of her, Utaha suddenly felt that Tomoya looked like a dog. Yesterday, he had told Eriri that she was the most reliable. Now, he was telling her that she was the only one he could rely on.
Utaha was startled by her own thoughts. But then, thinking of the bet with Hakuto, she would never accept having to apologize with a dogeza if she lost.
So, Utaha frowned and said, "Tomoya, sell those otaku goods of yours. I'll lend you the amount that's missing."
Tomoya's expression stiffened.
"Utaha..."
"Tomoya, you need to rember one thing. If you don't pay back the money, you will be arrested. And the amount involved is already huge. Once judicial proceedings begin, you will be sentenced to at least ten years, up to even life in prison. What use will those figures be to you then?"
Tomoya's expression stiffened.
"But even if I am willing to sell them, how can I sell them in such a short ti?"
Utaha looked at Tomoya and said, "I will cover the money for now, Tomoya. Then, after you sell your figures, you can give the money. For the amount that's missing, it will be deducted from your share of the ga sales to repay ."
Hearing Utaha's words, Tomoya's face stiffened. He said, "Is there going to be a share from the ga?"
Utaha looked at Tomoya. "Tomoya, what do you an?"
Tomoya imdiately tried to quibble, "What I an is that my share can be used directly to repay you, Utaha. Can I not sell those figures?"
Utaha took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart.
She wasn't stupid. She could naturally hear the implication behind Tomoya's words just now.
