Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: The Nickname is Shirako

"Hoh, that was fast… Hmm… And quite generous too. It seems he truly treats you like his own daughter."

Granny Kobayashi put on her reading glasses and looked at her phone. The message notification for the deposit had already arrived. After counting the number of zeros, she said this.

Then Granny Kobayashi took out a bank card from her wallet, intending to give it to Miyako.

"Well then, Miyako, your father has transferred the money. It's all in this card, and the password is…"

But Miyako did not accept the bank card. Before hearing the password, she had already firmly shaken her head.

"No need, Granny, I don't want to use this money."

"Oh?"

"I've already made a promise with Akira-kun to pursue a career as a Voice actor, so I will work hard to support myself. That way, Father can truly feel at ease, right?"

That's right! Akira-kun! Let's start from scratch and build something together!

Miyako looked at Akira with sparkling eyes.

But Akira, upon hearing Miyako refuse the huge sum from her father, almost wanted to bury his head and kneel.

What a pity!

Oh, my young lady, can't we be a little less high-minded?

Do you think you can become a Voice actor without spending a single penny?

Even if we self-study, it still costs money…

He had originally thought that with this money, Akira wouldn't have to find ways to raise the initial capital for Miyako's training, but it seems he still has to find ways to raise money.

But since Miyako herself had already made such a resolute declaration, Akira couldn't shamelessly ask for that money anymore.

Otherwise, Miyako's determination would become a joke.

He still needed to help her build her self-esteem and confidence in herself.

Due to the effect of Soul Performance S, Akira's expression didn't waver in the slightest. He reluctantly gave Miyako a thumbs-up, as if greatly approving of Miyako's ambition.

Miyako was also very happy in her heart. As expected, he wasn't deceiving her; he had already made plans to spend his life with her! → Refers to business cooperation

"Is that so… Isn't that good too? Young people should have this kind of drive, but I didn't expect this lazy bum to actually get motivated for your sake… Heh… You've changed, kid."

Granny Kobayashi looked at Akira with a teasing gaze, as if saying, 'What changed you? Love?'

Akira rolled his eyes.

Bullshit love, she's my cash cow.

"But since the money has already been transferred to me, it's not good to send it back to him, and it's mainly too much trouble, so I'll hold onto it for now. Whether or not to use it is up to you, you can come to me to withdraw it anytime."

"Granny, please consider this money as my rent and food expenses for staying here."

"That would be a bit too much. This money is enough to buy several houses… Besides, one thing is one thing. Your staying here is because he took you in, it has nothing to do with me. I won't charge you rent, and you don't need to pay for food… But that kid owes me double rent."

"Damn! Old woman, is your conscience black?!"

Akira let out a 'Damn it' sound.

Stinky old woman, you're so lenient with girls, but so stingy with me. You're as double-standard as Kuroo, that simp!

Then, as if annoyed by Akira's words, Granny Kobayashi reached out to Akira.

"Give it back to me."

"Huh? What is it?"

Akira pretended not to understand, his face innocent.

"Stop playing dumb. That ten thousand yen, give it back to me."

"No, you already gave it to me…"

"That's because you and her were both penniless just now, but now with the money her father gave, there's definitely enough for an abortion, even enough if you want to have the baby. And looking at how much he dotes on his daughter, he must be a doting grandpa too. You can just have babies without raising them, which means…"

"Which means?"

"You don't need to wear a condom. If you get pregnant accidentally, just have the baby."

"…"

"So I'm taking back the 'safety fee' I provided."

Akira almost choked, Miyako lowered her head and said nothing.

So… no hanky-panky!

"No! Money that's in my hands, even if you kill me, I won't hand it over!"

"Then starting tomorrow, keep eating curry."

"Ugh…!"

Granny Kobayashi also knew that Akira was sick of eating curry. Normally, she would alternate between hotpot and curry.

And when she said to continue eating curry, this 'continue' might last for a month, or even half a month.
