The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

Chapter 55 Hino Harufumi

There was no rain today, and the air was already hot and stuffy at dawn, making people feel uncomfortable.

But the sweltering heat also has its advantages.

For example, Dongcheng High School uniformly required students to change into summer clothes, and the youthful vitality of the beautiful young girls was boldly displayed in short sleeves and skirts.

However, a significant number of Japanese girls suffer from severe anxiety about not showing their face, wearing masks all the time, which makes them appear less open and honest. They even alter the skirts of the sailor uniforms issued by their schools to be quite short.

The girl has a love for beauty, scoffs at school rules, regards individuality as life itself, transforms into a sheep that voluntarily walks out of the pen, willingly exposing her tender and juicy belly, and facing the surrounding carnivores with composure, even naively.

Carnivorous animals that eat raw meat and drink blood know better than them how to dress themselves up, transforming themselves into gentle and kind advocates, giving them a sense of belonging, and bringing them the beautiful future they imagine.

Harufumi Hino thought they were stupid.

This seemingly foolish assessment isn't an insult, but rather, from his perspective, he can only conclude that they are foolish.

Because he is one of the carnivores.

Or rather, they are a higher level of beings than those hyenas on the street with their hair gelled and flamboyant attire.

"You should have heard of that famous idol. With your talent, if you appear on TV, you'll be just like her, with banners prominently displaying the words: 'A once-in-a-millennium beauty.'" The flamboyant "talent scout" manipulated his smooth talk, trying to seduce the girl in front of him.

The girl was clearly interested; her eyes sparkled, and she was obviously already imagining the future.

Upon seeing this, the talent scout was overjoyed and began to talk even more enthusiastically.

However, his drooling stopped abruptly as Hino Harufumi grabbed his arm from behind.

The talent scout turned his head, instinctively about to get angry, but then he glanced at the man who was a head taller than him and had a muscular build, and his heart sank.

Then he thought again, this street was his territory, and no matter what kind of monsters came, he couldn't lose face. A surge of courage welled up within him, and he frowned at the burly man, asking, "Who are you?"

Hino Harufumi ignored him and looked directly at the deceived girl, saying in a deep voice, "Students should go home after school and not wander around this street. Instead of believing such idiotic nonsense, you should go home and look at yourself in the mirror."

"What the hell did you say?"

Are you saying I'm ugly?

The girl and the talent scout both became angry. The talent scout's face turned red with rage, and he instinctively tried to retaliate, but the wrist that was being gripped felt like a bone breaking, causing him to cry out in pain.

Immediately afterwards, a massive slap landed, and he was almost like a napkin, pressed to the ground.

The girl's anger instantly turned into terror, and she let out a scream that was almost a shriek, attracting everyone's attention.

Hino Harufumi shook his head, showing no intention of acting as a wise older brother to comfort the lost girl. He shifted his gaze to a couple on the street.

The couple wore expressions of lingering disbelief and regret.

Two plainclothes police officers.

Harufumi Hino shook his head and strode away.

He knew perfectly well that he was by no means a chivalrous hero, but merely an accomplice of hyenas.

There are many informants hiding on this street. The higher-ups have repeatedly ordered them to stop their activities, but some people still refuse to listen and insist on going to risk trouble, almost getting caught red-handed by plainclothes police.

He didn't want to get involved and didn't dwell on it.

Harufumi Hino swaggered away, and luckily no one paid any attention. The two plainclothes officers who were entrapping him didn't bother him either, leaving the hyena that had been slapped down and the sheep that had been tricked halfway to the end standing there dumbfounded in the sun.

......

......

Harufumi Hino arrived at the Suruga Group's office.

Nodding to his younger brother who saluted him, Takahashi Daiki, who was not far away, came up and whispered, "The team leader is waiting for you inside."

Harufumi Hino nodded and went into the office.

The first thing he saw was the two characters "Ren Xia" (meaning chivalrous and righteous) carved into the front of the office boss's chair.

Suruga, the team leader, sat in a chair with his back to Hino Harufumi, also looking at those two words.

Hino Harufumi called out, "Dad."

Looking at the two characters, Team Leader Suruga suddenly said, "Many new young people don't understand the meaning of these two characters. The reason why we can grow this big and last this long is because we support each other and rely on benevolence and righteousness."

Harufumi Hino remained silent, patiently waiting for what was to come.

Team Leader Suruga spun his chair, his deep eyes fixed on Hino Harufumi. After staring at him for a long time, he sighed and said, "The higher-ups want an explanation from me."

Harufumi Hino said, "What do you mean? What happened recently wasn't Dad's fault at all."

Team Leader Suruga looked at him and sighed again: "But those people still have some connection with the team, and someone has used that connection against them."

Harufumi Hino remained silent; he knew what this meant.

Those few audacious idiots who dared to lay a hand on the second young lady of the Mori family were connected to several members of the group, and those members happened to be Hino's men.

Ruozhong is definitely not someone who can bear such a heavy burden of blame. If the second young lady of the Mori family is in danger, and Ruozhong is dragged out to be beheaded, not only will the Mori family's wife not be able to get past this, but even the Yamaei-kai itself will not be able to pass this test.

Harufumi Hino was parachuted directly into the Suruga Group from the organization a few years ago. His identity was sensitive, as he was involved in the struggles between different groups within the organization. To avoid suspicion, he didn't even show his face when Kaito Yamae came to inspect the group last time.

He was parachuted in a few years ago, but he wasn't responsible for any specific work. He was only given a sinecure of "managing personnel" because of the trust that the Suruga team leader had in him.

Therefore, Hino Harufumi had no idea how this happened, because it made no sense at all. First of all, there was no reason for the Yamaei-kai to take action against the second young lady of the Mori family. The two families kept to themselves and even, to a certain extent, the young master Yamaei Kaito needed the Mori family's help. Why would he do such a thing?

He didn't understand the intricacies of the situation; all he knew was that he was there today because someone needed him to take the blame.

Harufumi Hino immediately said, "I made all these decisions on my own, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Upon hearing his statement, Team Leader Suruga's expression softened, and he said, "The higher-ups mean you'll go to jail."

Hino Harufumi said in a low voice, "Is this also the young master's intention?"

Suruga Group Leader said gently, "Young Master means that you should go out and hide for a while."

"My hiding won't solve the problem," Hino Harufumi said. "In fact, if I run away, Madam's anger will only intensify."

The Suruga Group leader shook his head and said, "For the deputy head of the prestigious Suruga Group to be forced to flee is an attitude in itself. If Madam does not accept this, then the next issue will be our face. Madam must understand what the face of brothers in the underworld means."

Face is the lifeblood of the Yakuza; without face, the Yakuza cannot survive.
