Ai: Is he a good person?

"Do you really want to live a life where you're all alone in an orphanage, constantly bullied by the older kids, never getting enough to eat or warm clothes, and having to cry yourself to sleep under the covers every night when no one's around?"

Guchuan knelt down, smiling as he looked into Shiho Miyano's eyes.

"It's not as bad as you make it sound," Shiho Miyano retorted softly.

Besides, it was still much better than the childhood she'd spent in The Organization.

"Be a good girl and just stay here."

"But we're not related, so why should I stay with you?" Shiho Miyano pouted.

"They say a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. I'm a neighbor of the Kudo family, and you're a relative of the Kudo family, so of course we're connected."

"But…"

Ding-dong!

"Wait a moment, I'll see who it is." Guchuan patted Shiho Miyano's head, effectively cutting off her words.

"Young Master Guchuan, your award certificate has been delivered."

"Oh, my, you're too kind. I told you not to bother, but you insisted on bringing it." Guchuan warmly ushered the middle-aged police officer inside.

"Although Young Master Guchuan doesn't seek fame or fortune, the police cannot fail to commend exemplary citizens like yourself," the middle-aged officer said with an awkward smile.

Didn't you insist on it? When did it become us forcing it on you?

"And who is this?" The middle-aged officer looked at Shiho Miyano.

"This is my younger sister," Guchuan introduced with a smile.

Shiho Miyano stood obediently behind Guchuan. She was still a little nervous facing the police.

"I see," the middle-aged officer nodded.

The pajamas this little girl is wearing are clearly not a child's size. And didn't the Guchuan family only have one son? Where did Young Master Guchuan get a sister from?

The middle-aged officer didn't dare to ask, so he could only stand by, forcing a smile.

"Are you the only one who came?" Guchuan asked.

"Huh?" The middle-aged officer didn't understand what Guchuan meant.

It's just an award certificate, how many people do you expect to come?

Does Young Master Guchuan want Yumi Miyamoto to come? I've heard that young masters from powerful and influential families enjoy trampling on others' dignity. Is Young Master Guchuan like that too?

"I heard that when the Metropolitan Police Department gives out awards, there are always reporters present for interviews, aren't there?" Guchuan prompted.

"Oh, right, yes," the middle-aged officer said, a little tense.

Isn't it a bit too much to ask for reporters to publicize this matter? It's definitely going to stir up public sentiment.

"Young Master Guchuan, actually, there was a reporter coming. But there was a car accident on the way, and the reporter was sent to the hospital," the middle-aged officer explained.

"That's truly a shame."

"Yes, yes," the middle-aged officer nodded repeatedly.

Inside Guchuan's house, the middle-aged officer felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Since the award certificate has been delivered, Young Master Guchuan, I'll take my leave now," the middle-aged officer said, standing up.

"Why don't you sit for a bit longer?" Guchuan said.

"No, no need," the middle-aged officer refused.

I've been sitting here for ages without even a sip of water. If I don't leave now, I'll be kicked out.

The middle-aged officer walked out the door and his mouth twitched as he looked at the Porsche 356A in the yard. The car had mysteriously disappeared from the Police Station last night and appeared at Young Master Guchuan's house this morning.

So Young Master Guchuan also has an identical one.

After seeing off the police officer who preferred to remain anonymous, Guchuan dangled the award certificate in front of Shiho Miyano.

"Look, this is an award certificate from the Metropolitan Police Department, and it even has their official seal on it. They said I'm a good person, but you still don't believe me."

Shiho Miyano chuckled.

He's such a grown man, why does he still like to show off like a child?

However, to receive an award certificate from the Metropolitan Police Department… This seemingly unreliable guy turned out to be a genuinely good person after all.

It's just that my own darkness doesn't deserve to embrace the sun.

"Why are you feeling down again?" Guchuan patted Shiho Miyano's shoulder, seeing her spirits drop once more.

"Always wearing a long face at such a young age, you look more mature than me."

Hearing Guchuan's words, Shiho Miyano felt a bit helpless.

"Is it possible that you're just too childish?"

"Oh, you! You dare to talk back?" Guchuan feigned great anger and began to tickle Shiho Miyano.

"What are you doing~ Stop it!"

Shiho Miyano dodged left and right, but Guchuan's tickling still made her burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"You're acting like a child, still tickling people. And we barely just met, yet you're already making jokes like that. Hmph! You really have no boundaries."

"Little ones should smile more."

"Hmph~ I'm not a little one." Shiho Miyano slumped onto the sofa, exhausted, burying her face to hide her smile from Guchuan.

"Alright, I bought you a few outfits. See if you like them."

Guchuan slid his hands under Shiho Miyano's armpits and lifted her off the sofa.

"Ah~ Let go of me!"

Shiho Miyano squirmed in Guchuan's hands like a lively fish.

"I've let go. Pick one you like and put it on."

Guchuan placed a large bag on the sofa, and Shiho Miyano blushingly picked it up.

It really was uncomfortable wearing such an oversized pajama. This man might be unreliable, but he has a kind heart.

Being with a kind person, Shiho Miyano felt a lot of pressure.

Shiho Miyano opened the bag and her expression grew darker and darker as she looked at the dazzling array of clothes inside. By the time she saw the last one, her eyes were practically spitting fire.

"These are the clothes you bought me?" Shiho Miyano asked, looking at the innocent Guchuan.

"Yeah, which one do you like?" Guchuan replied.

These clothes cost me a lot of money, they're quite expensive, yet you still look unhappy.

"Who puts white stockings on a child?!" Shiho Miyano threw a pair of white stockings at Guchuan's face.

This damned Loli-con, picking her up last night really was for some ulterior motive. He's finally dropping the act, isn't he? Buying these clothes to satisfy his perverted tastes.

And here I thought you were a good person.

"Don't a lot of little Lolis in manga like to wear white stockings?" Guchuan put on an innocent, ignorant expression.

He was afraid Shiho Miyano would react strongly, so he specifically didn't buy black stockings.

"Can manga and reality be the same?" Shiho Miyano fumed.

This annoying man, he really can stir up her emotions so easily.

"Well, aren't there a lot of normal clothes here too?" Guchuan said, pointing to the 'maid outfit,' 'cat ear outfit,' and 'sailor uniform' on the sofa.

"These aren't normal at all!"

In the end, Shiho Miyano picked out a relatively normal-looking outfit to change into, hiding all the other clothes in the closet, afraid Guchuan would do something strange with them.

"Hmph~"
