Even though she was already over seventy years old, her spirit was very good, her voice was very loud, and she didn't stoop like ordinary old women; instead, she stood upright, and her legs were unusually nimble, as if she walked with the wind.
Moreover, Granny Kobayashi's height was also very tall, almost as tall as the 175cm Akira. Miyako had to look up slightly to see her face.
Indeed, as Akira said, Granny's eyes were very sharp; just being stared at could make one shiver, giving a strong sense of oppression.
She was practically like the big sister in a yakuza movie.
"Hello, I apologize for the intrusion."
Despite this, Miyako's talent allowed her to show no fear on the surface, bowing calmly and greeting.
Akira said to leave it to him, so Miyako decided to trust him.
"Mn, she is…"
However, just as Akira was about to introduce Miyako, Granny Kobayashi took out another pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them on the ground, saying,
"Come in first, don't chat in the entrance, remember to change slippers when you enter."
Then she turned around and returned to the living room.
Akira and Miyako looked at each other, changed into slippers, and followed into the living room.
They saw Granny Kobayashi take out an old leather wallet, from which she pulled out a banknote and gave it to Akira.
"Boy, here."
It was a 10,000 yen bill.
"This is…!"
Akira was utterly astonished.
That stingy old woman actually gave him money!
One must know that for the past six months, Granny Kobayashi had not given Akira a single penny, apart from providing meals.
Pocket money? Non-existent!
Do you really think I'm your grandmother?
But now she suddenly gave him money, and it was 10,000 yen—what was wrong with her? Did she suddenly change her personality?
Or did she see Akira bring a girl back, knowing that he wasn't good at cooking, so she told him to use this money to order sushi or something?
However, Akira didn't satisfy his curiosity by asking first, but shamelessly continued to ask for more.
"Since you're already giving it, give a bit more."
And then he ignited the powder keg in Granny Kobayashi's heart.
The hot-tempered Granny Kobayashi's eyebrows shot up, and she pointed at Akira's nose and started scolding.
"You stinky boy! 10,000 yen isn't enough for you? How much energy do you have?! Even if you buy good quality three-packs, a box is only nine hundred; if you buy ten boxes at once, are thirty pieces not enough for you?! Why don't you just change your name to Thirty Times a Night Man?! The remaining thousand is enough for you to go eat a meal and recover your energy!"
"Uh… huh?"
Akira was utterly bewildered—what did she want him to buy? It couldn't be what he was thinking, could it?
After Granny Kobayashi finished scolding, she continued impatiently.
"Tsk, anyway, make sure you take safety measures, don't get someone pregnant at this age."
"Given your current situation, you can't even afford to raise a child, you can't even afford abortion fees."
"As a man, if you bring her back, you must be responsible to the end, don't be a useless man who harms someone's body and then runs away, I can't afford to lose face."
So it was for safety…
So Granny Kobayashi's meaning was: you pauper have no money to solve the later problems, so I'm giving you money to buy condoms, remember to use them.
I'm not saying this, but you old woman!
Are you assuming she and I are in that kind of relationship?!
Am I that kind of person?!
