Chapter 381: – Life Counseling – Yuri

An elevator slowly climbing to John’s workplace.

Yuri stood inside, wringing her fingers as she tried to consider how the dialog with John would go.

This could be the primary time shortly that they had a personal dialog collectively. Truly, wouldn’t it be the primary since that point John made that bowl of ramen for her?

Yuri did not keep in mind. Quite a bit had occurred since then so her reminiscence wasn’t that good. However anyway, the purpose was that she hadn’t actually been respectful to John previously.

Uncle Kai stated that it would not be an issue. John wasn’t the kind of particular person to carry grudges.

However Yuri was fairly certain that Uncle Kai hadn’t pissed John off to the purpose the place he went out of his method to present simply how simply you possibly can have died.

Yuri might nonetheless do not forget that knife pressed in opposition to her again and John’s chilly phrases.

However that was earlier than John’s spouse confirmed up, and likewise when the yakuza have been nonetheless performing up within the metropolis.

Whereas Yuri did not know precisely what John and his household went by, from how Alphy-senpai and John had acted when she first met them, that they had in all probability simply gotten out of the underworld crime stuff.

So it made sense that John would have been a bit strung up after they first met and acted like that.

However he was a very good man. In spite of everything, if he wasn’t, he would not have been in a position to make that bowl of ramen that modified Yuri’s life and helped repair her sense of style.

Proper. So… there was nothing to fret about.

The elevator chimed, arriving on John’s workplace ground.

Yuri rapidly glanced at her cellphone to verify the time.

3 PM on the dot. Completely punctual.

Yuri took a deep breath and watched the doorways slide open. Smiling to do away with her nerves, she stepped by the doorways and opened her mouth to say howdy.

After which she noticed the state of the workplace.

A desk damaged to items and scattered throughout the ground. A snug lounge chair flipped over, with a shattered platter of cookies subsequent to it. Shards of a pitcher subsequent to a humid spot on the carpet…

Yuri slowly walked into the middle of the room and appeared round.

Simply what on the planet had occurred right here? This was positively John’s workplace, however there wasn’t anybody round and-

“You are right here sooner than I anticipated, Yuri.”

Yuri jumped and reflexively spun round with a kick.

John caught the kick with the again of his left hand after which chuckled. “And appears such as you’ve nonetheless bought that unhealthy behavior of kicking individuals round.”

Yuri blushed and lowered her leg. “S-Sorry, John.”

John lowered his hand after which reached as much as modify the white gown shirt he was sporting. After that, he brushed his fingers down on his denims and stated, “It is tremendous. You are still lots much less violent than just a few of your senpai…” He paused after which stated, “Technically, your entire senpai.”

Yuri blinked. “Actually?”

“Ah, stated that out loud, huh?” John shook his head and stated, “Appears like my unhealthy habits are coming again once more too. Hah… Most likely must go have some cuddle time with Yue and Aurora later.”

Yuri glanced on the state of the room after which slowly nodded. “If that is the way you let off steam then I believe you positively must get some relaxation, John.”

John blinked after which chuckled. “Certain. To illustrate that occurred. Anyway… Time to wash this up and prepare to your life counseling session.”

John clapped his fingers.

That plus the truth that she did not have to fret about residing bills or payments with the wage and superchats she bought from working as Miya meant all the things was nice!

…So why did she really feel ashamed when dealing with John’s stare?

“Uh-huh…” John sipped on his soda after which set it on the desk. After that, he picked up a pill from behind his chair and began writing issues down. “Future plans… world-class restaurant…”

Yuri felt her face heat up and she or he stated, “I-It is an awesome plan! And I can do it!”

“Oh, I do not doubt you.” John smiled and stated, “You have bought the correct skillset and mindset to do it. You do not buckle beneath strain… effectively, aside from while you broke down crying that one time…”

“Hey!” Yuri pointed at John and stated, “T-That was one time! And also you scared me first!”

“It was two occasions. Although, I assume the ramen wasn’t truthful.”

Yuri blushed.

…Proper. She forgot about that.

Oh god. Did John stand there all the time watching her cry earlier than he left?

…Yuri wished she might simply bury herself in a gap proper now after having that realization…

“However total, respectable plan. And also you’re in a very good headspace now too. It’s kind of regarding that you just will not have a security web in case you fail, however you are virtually an grownup.” John scribbled some extra issues down and stated, “Mm… it might be good to have some backup plans, however you are still younger too. Will not be too late to move to varsity if issues crash and burn.”

Yuri nodded alongside till she heard that final half. When she did, she glared at John and stated, “Crash and burn? You assume I am not going to make it?”

“Now do not put phrases in my mouth.” John paused after which stated, “May make a joke there, however I am going to move on it for now.”

“What?”

“Anyway.” John pointed at Yuri and stated, “I used to be simply saying that it is a risk that you ought to be conscious of.” He smiled and stated, “Don’t fret although. Even in case you do, we are able to get you into a school someplace one way or the other to get you again in your ft.”

Yuri gave John a clean stare.

John smiled.

After an extended silence, Yuri stated, “…Is that it?”

John nodded and stated, “Yep! Simply ensuring issues are going effectively and you’ve got a plan. I might go extra in-depth, however I am going to depart that for Kai. Do not need to step on his sneakers when he is lastly bought one thing proper going for him.”

Yuri bought out of her seat after which gently set her soda down on the espresso desk. Giving John a stiff nod, she stated, “Thanks for the discuss, John.”

“No drawback! Let me know if one thing else comes up.”

Yuri nodded once more and calmly walked to the elevator.

On the floor.

Internally although…

‘That smug bastard…! I knew it! That ramen was positively a fluke! Pondering I am unable to make it… Hmph! Simply because he made that one ramen… Argh. I am going to present him. I am going to present all of them!’

The elevator doorways slid shut. Shortly after, a chime echoed and the elevator left, taking Yuri with it.

John sat there sipping on his soda after which wrote some extra notes down. “Okay. So Yuri’s fairly secure now and simply motivated by telling her she will be able to’t do one thing… good to know. Undoubtedly extra dere than tsun… not like a sure different yakuza concerned younger woman I do know.”

He pulled out his cellphone to verify the time and stated, “Not even ten minutes both for our assembly… which implies I’ve bought fifty minutes to kill till Shu is available in.”

John hummed and stated, “…I positively must have a correct chat with Yuri to simply get to know her. This time was a bit tousled due to Rin. Hm… Possibly we are able to chat over Korean BBQ someday. For now although…” John bought as much as stretch and stated, “I would like some cuddle time.”
