A Beautiful Girl Who Resembles a Snow Woman

Chapter 80 A Beautiful Girl Who Resembles a Snow Woman

Faced with Shinji Kaminaga's explanation, Mahiru Shiina nodded knowingly and did not ask any further questions.

After all, it's very abrupt to ask about someone's secrets.

However, looking at the boy who solemnly asked her to take care of Yukino Yukinoshita, Shiina Mahiru felt a lump in her throat.

He's so nice, so gentle.

Yukinoshita is so lucky to be protected so gently by someone.

Yet, to this day, he remains single, without even a real home.

Thinking about her family's situation, Shiina Mahiru's amber eyes dimmed, and her mood became depressed.

A short while later, the elevator arrived at the first floor.

"Let's go, Shiina-kun, shall we go to the convenience store?"

"it is good."

Shiina Mahiru nodded obediently and walked alongside him.

Arriving at a nearby convenience store, Shinji Kaminaga led Mahiru Shiina straight to the food section.

Looking at the prices, meat is cheaper than vegetables, while fruit is extremely expensive.

He directly selected two pieces of the finest beef.

Then came the green peppers.

He grabbed a handful of bok choy and a few plates of sliced ​​fruit; he didn't have to worry about money at all. After Nangong Nayue reported the killing of the vampire progenitor, he received another huge sum of money.

Moreover, the Red Water Society's funds were all confiscated and went into Nangong Nayue's pocket.

That Tsuki-chan's pocket is naturally Shinji Kaminaga's pocket, and he can spend it however he wants.

Thinking this, Nangong Nayue, who was sitting in her office drinking tea, couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

While Shinji Kaminaga was spending lavishly on expensive ingredients, Mahiru Shiina was eyeing the discounted ones.

She carefully examined the green peppers in her hand, trying to choose the freshest ones possible.

As a wealthy young lady, she came from a very rich family, and her daily life was taken care of by her maid, Aunt Xiaoxue, from childhood to adulthood.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be worried about money.

But that was before. Now, she needs to learn to be independent.

Therefore, we must be careful with money.

As for why she wanted to be independent, Shiina Mahiru's initial joy at discovering fresh, discounted ingredients turned sour again, her shoulders slumped slightly, and her expression showed a hint of frustration.

While Shiina Mahiru was selecting ingredients, Shinji Kaminaga went to the snack area.

When I saw the refrigerator, I opened it and started picking out different flavors of ice cream.

"This strawberry flavor is tastier, Kaminaga-kun."

Suddenly, a pleasant voice reached my ears, and it sounded somewhat familiar.

Shinji Kaminaga looked up and was somewhat surprised.

"Shirley, are you working part-time here? You're wearing a shop assistant's uniform!"

"No, I'm here to deliver goods to this convenience store. My family owns an ice cream shop."

Shirley smiled and introduced her family's business, then continued to recommend, "If you're buying for a girl, I personally think strawberry and taro flavors are both great choices."

"Okay, then I'll choose these two flavors. Thank you for your recommendation, Shirley."

"Hehe, you're welcome. I'm going home after I finish delivering the goods. See you tomorrow, Kaminaga-kun."

After saying that, the girl in the blue shop assistant uniform turned and left.

Shinji Kaminaga seemed lost in thought as he watched her retreating figure.

Through the Eye of Ultra, he could sense a cold energy within Sherry's body.

Her family also runs an ice cream shop.

So, could she be from the legendary Yuki-onna family?

Kagome Higurashi has appeared, and the shrine maiden Midori has also existed, so there are still many monsters in this world.

After paying for the selected items, Shinji Kaminaga waited for Mahiru Shiina at the door.

Since we came out together, we should naturally go back together, since it's on the way anyway.

Even when acting as a protector of flowers, one must fulfill one's duties.

A short while later, Shiina Mahiru came out carrying a bag.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," she said apologetically, her cheeks slightly flushed.

How should I put it? Going shopping with a handsome, gentle, and kind-hearted boy, who was even waiting for me at the door, felt really novel.

"It's okay, I just came out too. Give me the bag. If Yukino finds out that I'm clueless and just watching cute girls carry things, she'll definitely torture my back again."

As Shinji Kaminaga spoke, he naturally took the bag from her hand and then walked forward on his own.

Shiina Mahiru opened her mouth, sighed helplessly, and whispered, "Then thank you."

"Don't mention it, it's nothing. We're neighbors after all, let's help each other and build a friendly neighborly relationship."

Shinji Kaminaga smiled and waved his hand, then walked towards the apartment.

Shiina Mahiru stayed by his side, appearing to others like a little wife.

Passersby couldn't help but look at Shinji Kaminaga with envy and jealousy. The two were a perfect match, a couple that made others envious.

Shiina Mahiru had mixed feelings as she stood beside Shinji Kaminaga.

She secretly peeked at his handsome face and couldn't help but feel shy.

How should I put it? Being by his side gives me a sense of security.

Moreover, she felt increasingly familiar with his aura.

So, could it be him?

The "Ultraman" who beat up the original vampire that night and saved her and Yukinoshita?

Halfway down the road, Shiina Mahiru's phone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me, Kaminaga-kun, I need to take this call."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for you here."

"Thanks."

After thanking her politely, Shiina Mahiru went to the side and answered the phone.

"It's me, Shiina Mahiru. Please speak if you need anything—Mother."

"...

The woman on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked coldly, "Why didn't you go to the girls' school as arranged? Do you know how hard it is to get that spot? If your name wasn't Shiina, you wouldn't have had the chance to go to a prestigious school at all!"

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru subconsciously clenched her small fists, her face turning deathly pale.

She sneered, her face contorted with hurt, "Don't you think it's too late to say all this now? You don't really care about me at all, do you?"

"It's been a week since school started, and you're only now realizing that I didn't go to the girls' school, but instead went to Soubu High School."

""

"—Yes." The person on the other end, who called herself "Mother," admitted in a cold tone that she didn't care about her.

Shiina Mahiru's body trembled instantly, utterly shocked.

Her mother, Shiina Sayo, spoke up on her own: "Your birth was a mistake from the very beginning. From the very beginning, neither that man nor I wanted to have you."

"We were forced into marriage for the sake of our families. We were given the drug and had no choice but to get pregnant with you."

"So you don't need to think about cooking anything for us when we come back. That man, your father, and I dislike each other. It's impossible for us to get along and have dinner together!"

"Now that you're all grown up and don't need our arrangements anymore, you can do as you please from now on. As for the money, we'll send you a fixed amount every month until you graduate from high school—"

"I don't want it! Who cares about your money? Why are you only telling me this now? Mother, do you know how much effort I've put in to gain your approval and to make you reconcile?"

"I know, the maid Xiaoxue said that, but none of it matters. You were an unwanted child from the beginning. Seeing you only brings pain to me and that man."

Shiina Saya's meaning is very clear: raising you and ensuring you have enough to eat and wear is already a responsible act on their part, so you shouldn't ask for anything else.

They will not become a truly loving couple just because you are our daughter.

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru was struck dumb.

She felt like she had lived a joke all these years.

"Oh, I see."

"I was an unwanted child. From the very beginning, I had no chance of gaining your approval."

"Yes, Xiaoxue has been doing a lot of unnecessary things. Now that things have come to this, I don't want to keep it a secret anymore. I'm getting a divorce from that person."

"From now on, do whatever you want. I've never considered you my daughter. You're just a disgrace and a burden in my life!"

After saying these heartless words, Shiina Sayo hung up the phone.

She felt it was better to make things clear.

It's better than keeping it from her and letting her continue doing useless work.

Anyway, she was ready to get a divorce, and so was the man.
