I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Page 287

There's not even a range?

Aki Tomoya's inner吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize) spirit is really about to burst out.

Even if someone is incredibly dull, they shouldn't be this dull!

"Eri, what do you do?"

"What else can I do?"

"..."

What else can I do...?

Aki Tomoya was speechless; it seemed the other person had forgotten what she did for a living.

"Doujinshi artist, game concept artist, illustrator, Tokyo University of the Arts."

This should be detailed enough!

Aki Tomoya didn't believe that Eriri couldn't guess what it was.

"Did you buy me tools or something?"

I finally figured it out!

If Aki Tomoya can't even guess this, he's really going to break down.

Alright, there's no mystery left now. We'll just have to deliver the items when the time comes.

At the same time, Aki Tomoya was also thinking that Eriri probably had more tools than she could use, so giving her this seemed a bit redundant.

How about we think about it again tonight and decide if we should choose another one?

He glanced subtly at Eriri, whose expression remained unchanged, and finally decided to add one more.

As for this, I won't tell the other party yet.

But if I were to add one more thing, what would be a good gift?

Aki Tomoya thought for a moment, but his attention had already drifted elsewhere.

Although it's mainly about the sentiment, it shouldn't be too stingy.

Chapter 322 Dog Shit Matter (1/3)

Eriri's birthday is March 20th.

Aki Tomoya bought a gift and sent it over.

A bracelet and a set of art supplies were brought to Eriri's house after she finished her part-time job at UDI.

However, he arrived quite late.

Because he had to help Nakado investigate a case, Aki Tomoya was working overtime this time, which was quite unusual.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Eriri, while Aki Tomoya waited outside the door.

Not long after, Eriri came out.

"Sorry I'm a little late, happy birthday."

As he picked up the gift box, Aki Tomoya showed a hint of apology on his face.

I promised Eriri yesterday that I would come over today to personally deliver the gift to her.

Aki Tomoya arrived as promised today.

"Thank you!"

Eriri accepted the gift with delight.

"go in!"

She wanted Aki Tomoya to come to her house as well.

However, the latter hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

Let's just forget about going in. Aki Tomoya is also a little afraid of Eriri's mother, Sawamura Sayuri.

"Never mind, I won't bother you anymore."

Aki Tomoya said the same thing.

In truth, she wanted to avoid Sayuri Sawamura at all costs.

He truly had a natural fear of that lady.

Although I've only met him a few times, it's best to avoid contact with such a formidable person.

Before you know it, you've been led astray.

"Hey, aren't we going in?"

"No need, it's already so late."

Looking at the time, it's almost ten o'clock.

There's no need to go in this late.

"It's my fault, I'm too late today. It's your birthday, and I couldn't celebrate it properly for you. I hope my gift can express my feelings."

Aki Tomoya's tone was full of apology.

It's getting late, so I'm sorry to say that.

Eriri hesitated, unsure of what to say.

"Um, I'm sorry."

Perhaps sensing Eriri's dissatisfaction, Aki Tomoya apologized again.

The latter shook it, then simply picked up the gift box that Aki Tomoya had given him.

"No, thank you for the gift."

Eriri thought about it and decided to forget about it.

She accepted Aki Tomoya's gift and his kind intentions.

In fact, her family had already celebrated her birthday, and Aki Tomoya was indeed the one who arrived late.

I rushed over as soon as I finished my part-time job, but it was still a bit late.

"Um... if Eriri is upset that I'm late, you can actually tell her."

At this moment, Aki Tomoya said something else.

However, Eriri still shook her head.

But the former always felt that she must have some dissatisfaction in her heart.

At this moment, Aki Tomoya sighed and could only say apologetically, "It's my fault this time. I'll make it up to you when I have a chance."

"Hey, how do you want to make it up to me?"

Eriri looked at Aki Tomoya with amusement.

She was somewhat taken aback by the sudden mention of compensation.

She really didn't care much, and worrying about trivial things was just making things harder for herself.

However, Aki Tomoya didn't seem to think that way. At this moment, he seemed to be taking care of her feelings and said that he wanted to make it up to her.

But actually, there's nothing to be ashamed of...

"...I can't think of anything right now, I'll tell you later!"

"Pfft, you said that without even thinking it through. It's late, you should go home!"

"Well... see you later!"

"See you later."

After watching Aki Tomoya leave, Eriri hugged the gift and eagerly opened it.

She received quite a few birthday gifts today, but this is the last one, and she's been waiting for quite a while.

Everyone else gave gifts before blowing out the candles, but unfortunately Aki Tomoya arrived a little late and missed the chance to blow out the candles together.

Her birthday celebration was as lively as in previous years, thanks in large part to her mother, Sayuri Sawamura.

Eriri smiled as she saw a set of tools and a bracelet.

Okay.

……

Aki Tomoya is quite busy because he has to secretly help the Nakado Group investigate cases without anyone knowing, so he doesn't dare to relax.

The main reason is that the body's internal organs were removed without authorization, and if this were exposed, it would cause a lot of trouble.

For several days in a row, the Nakado class and the Sancheng class have been working together to investigate a "suicide" case.

To prove the truth behind a witnessed suicide by jumping into the water.
