Lala, like Yuko, was one of the three main bullies of the original owner during high school.
Although she only got into a technical college now, it was also in Kyushu City. In the past two months, Lala had caused trouble for the original owner several times according to memory.
Each time, it was verbal abuse. If she dared to resist, she would be beaten, and then forced to hand over her money.
This could already be classified as a crime, but the original owner didn't dare to call the police or resist. The oppressive environment made her twisted, and Ichiko's matter happened to hit a nerve, so she used it as a source of venting.
Even so, Ichiko still treated the original owner gently, wanting to influence her, which shows the charm of the White Moonlight persona.
She already had a conflict with herself, so how should she be bullied?
Haruko looked at the message she sent and smiled playfully.
As expected, Lala sent a message back, "Sure, I'll wait for you at your place?"
"Okay."
Before, she was bullied on the way home, but now, she dared to come directly to her house.
Haruko knew without guessing that the other party was already laughing out of anger.
Someone who had been bullied for a long time suddenly told them to pay back the money. The first reaction was naturally to find it ridiculous.
What kind of low-class trash dared to resist now?
It seemed they hadn't been taught enough of a lesson.
—Putting herself in their shoes, Haruko would definitely think the same way, but it didn't matter. Coming home this time was precisely to be bullied.
But if no one knew she was bullied, the effect of this plan would not be as strong.
Haruko thought for a moment and then looked at the honest man at the bar.
She slowly said, "Then I'll go back and prepare today. I'll officially start working tomorrow?"
Rinko nodded, "Okay."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and study some related knowledge. Let's add each other on Massenger. You can contact me if anything happens."
Haruko actively added Rinko on Massenger, then returned to her seat to pack her things, smiling and waving, "Today, I'll trouble Uncle Rinko to watch the store alone. Bye-bye~"
Waving her small hand, Haruko left the store with light steps.
The Uncle looked on with a gentle expression, "If only I had such a cute daughter."
Unfortunately, he was 35 now and didn't even have a wife.
Clicking to accept the friend request on Massenger, Rinko continued to wait at the bar. With his sharp eyes, he suddenly found a handkerchief on Haruko's table from earlier.
It was pink and orange, with cartoon Xiao Chengzi printed on it, as if a faint fragrance unique to girls lingered.
Walking over in confusion, Rinko blinked, "Was this left by that Miss just now? It seems she forgot to take it."
"She'll be here tomorrow too, so let's just leave it here for now."
Reaching out to pick up the handkerchief, Rinko suddenly frowned again, "But what if this is something important? Maybe I should still let her know."
Changing his mind, Rinko sent a message to Haruko.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later, when Haruko was about to arrive home, that he received a reply to the message.
It was a voice message, with a very anxious tone, "Wuwuwu, I thought this handkerchief was lost. It turns out it was left at the coffee shop. That's great, that's really great."
She patted her small chest, looking relieved.
Rinko held the handkerchief, feeling a bit strange, and asked nervously, "Is this thing very important to you?"
"Yes, yes, this is a gift I plan to give to someone. Now... I'm too busy. Uncle Rinko, could I trouble you to help me send it over?"
Just as this voice message was sent, Haruko added another sentence.
"That won't work either, it's too much trouble for you. I'll send you the address, you can help me call for a flash delivery. I'll pay for it, thank you, Uncle Rinko!"
After speaking, a location was sent over.
And the floor and room number were attached.
Listening to these few sentences, the warmth in Rinko's heart gradually increased.
What a sensible little fellow, thinking that sending it himself would be troublesome and even calling for a flash delivery.
She was clearly very cute, so why did the Young Master always say she was a little dummy?
Rinko didn't understand, but looking at the coffee shop with no customers, he replied, "It's okay, I'll send it to you. There's no need to call for another flash delivery. Just wait for me for a while."
"Okay, okay, thank you for the trouble."
After finishing the conversation, Rinko took the handkerchief and was about to close the door when he saw Ichiko walking over from outside, "Uncle Chu, are you going out?"
Rinko made a gesture only done when greeting a noble Miss, and respectfully said, "So it's Miss Su. Miss Haruko left a handkerchief here with me. I'm about to send it back to her."
"Uh... Isn't Haruko here?" Ichiko thought Haruko was there and wanted to see her future work environment.
Rinko patiently replied, "She just came here with the Young Master to check things out and left less than half an hour ago."
"I see. I was just going to find Haruko. I'll help you send it over."
"This..." Rinko hesitated for a moment.
Ichiko said with a smile, "Uncle, don't worry. Haruko and I have already reconciled. Otherwise, she wouldn't be with Inari, right?"
She often confided in Inari about Haruko at the coffee shop before. Over time, Rinko also heard the general idea.
Hearing Ichiko say that, he felt relieved, "Then I'll trouble Miss Su."
Taking the handkerchief, Ichiko felt a subtle sensation. The comfortable fabric made her feel like she was caressing Haruko's soft, small hand.
It was the first time she felt so strange.
Little did she know, this was the effect of the "Cinderella" in the handkerchief. Anyone who got their hands on it would unconsciously think of Haruko herself.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Haruko had already arrived at the residential area.
She safely put away her phone.
The audience was ready.
She patted her small face and walked into the elevator.
She took off the hair clips that held her shallow ponytails at both ends of her beautiful hair and vigorously scratched her hair a few times.
She clicked her tongue and pouted in dissatisfaction, "Sometimes having overly soft hair and being pretty isn't good. It's a bit difficult to lower my aura."
Before going out, she had specifically styled her hair to make a good impression and gain Inari's favor.
Now, facing the people who bullied the original owner, she needed to show weakness to let them push their luck.
There was nothing she could do. Haruko pulled up the hood of her hoodie and rubbed it vigorously to create static electricity. Her hair quickly became messy.
But even so, it couldn't hide her inherent cuteness.
But it was enough.
The elevator door opened.
Haruko wore her hood and slightly hunched her body.
Acting, commence!
She was completely a timid, delicate, and harmless girl.
As she walked out of the elevator door, she saw two girls waiting in the hallway.
They wore revealing clothes that showed their stomachs and thighs, had dyed yellow hair, were smoking, had lip rings, heavy eye shadow, and various chains unique to delinquent girls.
This was the classic villain image.
Looking at herself, she was also a villain, but she had no aura at all.
She walked into the hallway, her cloth shoes making a clear "Da Da" sound.
The yellow-haired girl in the lead, Lala, looked at Haruko, holding her head high and raising a mocking smile, "Yo, our cute Haruko is back."
