While Reno was on his way home, Shiho was preparing dinner, although she got Reno's help she wasn't comfortable, after all, all she had done so far was to bring him to her house, the only problem solved so far was her loneliness.
Shiho used to be social, she organized parties and meetings, but the state she became in made people around her stay away from her, she couldn't stand the loneliness, she hadn't talked to anyone for a long time and this feeling of loneliness caused her to suffocate.
But Reno's arrival gave her some space to breathe, and yet that was not enough, she was afraid that he would leave her like her friends had done before, especially since he would bring himself unnecessary trouble by staying by her side.
So Shiho was now in deep thought, she wanted to keep Reno by her side at any cost but the latter was too cold with her.
Of course, Shiho didn't blame him. After all, she made him a source of entertainment for her when he was young. Not only that but the first thing she did after they met after a long time was to try to kill him.
Shiho cursed her stupidity for making such a move, although that was attributed to her addiction it didn't change the fact that she attacked him.
"I should make him change his view of me at all costs," Shiho thought inwardly.
But easier said than done, after all, what can she do for Reno? She had nothing, her monthly salary was always taken by her debtors, all that was left of it was used to buy little food so that she would not starve.
Not only did she have nothing to offer him, but on the contrary, he was the one who gave her the drugs she needed to relieve her stress.
He was the one who gave her the money so she could buy food and prepare her first delicious meal after months of just eating crap.
It was because of him that she was able to buy a beautiful dress and adorn herself with jewelry and make-up after she had looked like a beggar in the past months.
Whatever she thought, Shiho found that she was the beneficiary of this relationship, she did not provide anything, she might have taken him out of the orphanage and provided him with this house, but did Reno need it? He could stay in the orphanage, and with the money he had, he could rent an apartment and live alone.
Shiho's heart sank from all these thoughts and her mood worsened, constantly shouting to herself, "What's the solution? What's the solution?" And she continued in this state until she remembered the details of her meeting with Reno.
She remembered what Reno told her at the time when he melted her clothes, "With this delicious body you will be fucked 50 times a day."
Shihuo's eyes flashed with enlightenment, "So he thinks my body is delicious, does that mean he's attracted to me? But he's a 12-year-old teenager and I'm 27, maybe I'm overthinking" Shiho sighed as she placed the dishes on the table.
Suddenly the door opened and Reno walked in, when Shiho saw him her heart began to race, why does he have to enter now while she was having such thoughts.
"Welcome back," Shiho said, her face blushing.
Reno nodded, put his bag away, and sat down at the table.
"I see you made several kinds of dishes, that's good, Let's eat," Reno said while taking a spoonful of food.
Shiho sat across from him and did not start eating yet, but waited for his reaction after tasting her food.
"How do you find the food," Shiho asked.
"Not bad," Reno replied briefly and continued eating his food.
'This boy doesn't even know courtesy, he could at least say it's delicious.' Shiho pouted, she looked cute.
"What's the matter," Reno asked.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-no-nothing, keep eating," Shiho replied while laughing awkwardly.
"Tell me about your problem, but in a nutshell," said Reno.
Shiho's awkward smile disappeared, her features turning sad
"In short, I got addicted to gambling. At first, I had good luck and won a lot of money. It was a great feeling to get money worth months of work in a few minutes and I got addicted to that feeling.
But then my luck got bad and I kept losing, I even took out all my savings, but all that money was lost as well
I could not stand the feeling of losing all of my wealth in a jiffy, so I went to a loan shark to borrow a sum of money.
My goal was to recover my wealth and then return the amount to them, but unfortunately, it did not go as I planned and I ended up losing again.
At this point, Shiho sighed and her eyes reddened.
"These loan sharks wanted me to return the money to them, but I did not have it, so I was forced to sign a contract, to return the amount to them within a year, every month they take my salary, and if I cannot return the money at the end of the year, I will become their whore and work in prostitution until I pay my debt." At this point, Shiho's tears started falling.
Reno looked at her indifferently and then asked, "How much did you owe them?"
"10 million" Shiho replied, causing Reno to stare at her fiercely.
Shiho lowered her head in embarrassment, actually 10 million was too much.
"When does the deadline end," Reno asked.
"11 days later," Shiho replied, crying heavily.
"So in other words, after 11 days, you will be their whore." Reno said as he looked at her, Shiho couldn't do anything but cry.
"How many people are in this shark loan organization?"
"It's a big organization, I know 15 of them, I'm not sure if there are others that I don't know"
"Since they took your salary every month then how much of your debt have you paid so far?" asked Reno.
"Two million," Shiho answered in a hoarse voice, she couldn't pay the rest of the amount in the remaining few days.
Thinking of the fate that awaited her, Shiho felt hopeless, but what Reno said next made her raise her head and look at him in astonishment.
"It's just 8 million, not a big problem," Reno said with full confidence.
Shiho's eyes widened as she listened to him, was it really not a big deal?!
"Do you have that amount with you now?" Shiho asked in a trembling voice.
"Of course not." Reno's answer left Shiho confused, but he added, "I may not have it now, but that doesn't mean I can't have it in the coming days." said Reno, wiped his mouth, got up, and went to the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a bath, you should relax now, you're tired from overthinking."
Shiho saw Reno's back as he entered the bathroom.
Although Reno told her not to think about it too much, she fell into deep thoughts.
8 million is a lot of money and not everyone can own it, let alone a 12-year-old teenager but the way Reno spoke was not the way of someone who lies, he radiated an aura of confidence as if he would get this huge amount easily.
Shiho didn't get into a deep thought because she didn't believe Reno's words, her intuition told her that he would be able to solve her problem, but the thing she was thinking about was why would he help her? If he got such an amount, he can live comfortably on his own, he doesn't have to help her, Shiho didn't believe his words that he wanted to live with her as a family, after all, he told her himself that he would make a deal with her if she took him out of the orphanage he would give her drugs and some money and he completed his side out of the bargain already.
"I have to do something." Shiho's eyes flashed with determination, now that the opportunity came, she wouldn't let it slip away.
Reno was in the shower, his body resting in the hot water in the bathtub, he wasn't going to help Shiho out of pity or something like that, he just needed money to move to a better house and also to buy some things that would help him in the next stage of his training.
And since he was going to get money for his goals, he didn't mind ridding her of the trouble she was in.
While he was thinking the door opened, Reno turned around to see that Shiho had entered, she was wearing a light dress that showed all her charms, she was not wearing a bra or pants and every detail of her body could be seen under the dress.
"What are you doing?" asked Reno, saying he didn't like the view would be a lie.
"I was thinking that you needed someone to wash your back," Shiho replied with a red face.
"No need, I can do it myself," Reno replied indifferently.
When Shiho heard his reply, her heart sank again and she clenched her fists, then lowered her head and said, "Reno-kun you are now the only person in my life, you came at a time when I desperately needed someone to be by my side, not only that but you are even willing to help me solve my problem, When you talk to me coldly, I feel like a dagger is piercing my heart, so I beg you don't distance yourself away from me, maybe we started the wrong way but I'm willing to do anything for you, just don't give up on me," Shiho said, then fell to her knees and broke down in tears.
Reno was taken aback, he underestimated Shiho's mental state, the girl is on the verge to collapse, "maybe I need to reevaluate her situation" thought Reno inwardly.
"You said you'd do anything for me, are you sure of your decision?" Reno asked.
"Yes." Shiho raised her head, looked at him with watery eyes, and answered.
"Well then, since you will be their whore if you don't pay your debt, how about you become my exclusive whore in return for paying your debt," said Reno.
His request was unreasonable, after all, where in the hell did you see a teenager possessing an adult woman as his exclusive whore!
In fact, Reno didn't intend to do that but wanted to see how far Shiho can go for him, after all, he didn't fully trust her, who would know if this crazy woman stabbed him in his sleep during the night.
Not only Shiho, Rino didn't trust people easily, he only trusted himself and his own strength, he rarely trusted people and now it's time to find out where Shiho stands in his confidence meter.
When Shiho heard his request, she was shocked, she lowered her head and her body trembled severely, she was looking for someone to love her, she had always thought that the people close to her loved her, but after being betrayed, she realized that finding someone who loves you in this world is very difficult, it can be said that it is almost impossible, most of them care only about their benefits.
Reno saw the state of Shiho, he knew that his request is unreasonable and he didn't blame her hesitation, he sighed and was about to tell her to forget it and he was just messing around with her, and he will help her even if she didn't offer him anything in return, but the response of Shiho caught him off guard and surprised him, he heard her say YES.
when Reno looked at her he saw her staring straight at his eyes, he didn't see any hesitation, all he saw is determination and emptiness in those eyes.
