Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 94

"Which one? How many have you harassed?"

"I..." Matsuda looked hesitant.

Dong Yunshan: "Hmm?"

"I'm counting!" Matsuda blurted out, "Right away... Does email harassment count?"

"If I find out you've been harassing someone, I'll come back again." Dong Yunshan tapped the fruit knife lightly, "But next time, you won't have such a good chance."

"You... you're here to threaten me?" Matsuda finally understood Dong Yunshan's purpose, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Just because I harassed a few people?"

"Just? That's quite an interesting choice of words." Dong Yunshan sneered. "I only exchanged a few words with you, and that's considered intimidation?"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you!" Realizing the other person wasn't a bad guy, Matsuda suddenly became fierce. "You think you can..."

The doorbell rang again, Dong Yunshan gestured with his chin, indicating for Matsuda to open the door.

Matsuda paused, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to open the door first, but didn't say what he wanted to say.

The door opened, Matsuda's gaze instantly went blank.

Several menacing-looking guys were standing at his doorstep.

These were the kind of guys you'd avoid if you met them on the street, but now they were gathered in front of his house, staring at him expressionlessly.

Matsuda's barely regained momentum instantly crumbled. "You... you guys..."

"Brother Shan!" At least ten people shouted in unison, their voices loud and clear.

Dong Yunshan carried the pizza to the door. "Try them all, they taste pretty good."

"Thank you, Brother Shan!" The guy with the mohawk took the pizza box.

"Oh, right." Dong Yunshan wiped his hands and turned to look at Matsuda, "What were you going to say just now?"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you! That's out of respect." Cold sweat dripped from Matsuda's forehead. "With your status... why would you bother coming all this way? You could have just told me."

"So that's what you wanted to say." Dong Yunshan patted his shoulder, then turned to look at the crowd at the door. "See? I told you we didn't need to fight, a chat would have been enough."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Matsuda nodded repeatedly, "There's no need to take action, absolutely no need."

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer." Dong Yunshan walked out the door, waved, and said, "See you another day."

"Okay, okay..." Matsuda bowed deeply. "Take care, please take care when you have time..."

Away from Matsuda's house, Dong Yunshan took out his wallet. "Thank you all for your hard work. Take this money and buy a few more pizzas. This pizza place is really good."

Volume 5, May Holiday: Chapter 177 Where the Heart Leads

"How could we let Brother Shan pay for it?" The man with the mohawk waved his hand, "It's what we should do."

"This is what you should get, 6000 yuan." Dong Yunshan patted the 710 yuan on the rooster-head's chest. "This money was originally entrusted to me by Wei Wuren.

The man with the rooster-like hair held the money, about to speak, but then heard Dong Yunshan's phone ring, and immediately shut up.

"This is Dong Yunshan." Dong Yunshan answered the phone. "Oh, it's you. How's life in Tokyo... Business trip? Working overtime during Golden Week? What's the rush? You'll have plenty of time to work later, but school days are fleeting... Need help?"

The rooster-haired guy next to him suddenly brightened up and stood up a little straighter.

"You need it tonight?" Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "So urgent? I'll just go over there directly."

"Hokkaido... I really need to go there." Dong Yunshan glanced at the time, "But there's definitely not enough time."

His rooster-like hairstyle couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

"Let me think... about Hokkaido ..." Dong Yunshan tapped her temples lightly with two fingers together. "Little Yuan is over there, yes, the one who took his wife's surname and has Rin Tohsaka tattooed on his chest, he runs a bubble tea shop there. Hokkaido bubble tea is good, so I had him open the shop there because it's close by. I'll contact him later... maybe I should send him a life-size figure? He'd give you his life for that."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Yunshan dialed Little Yuan's number and explained the situation in a few words.

After ending the call, Dong Yunshan looked at the man with the mohawk. "What did you want to say?"

"Brother Shan!" The man with the mohawk handed over the money. "We want to work for you!"

The others followed suit and bowed.

"Stop messing around. You help me, I help you, it's called reciprocity." Dong Yunshan glanced at the money in the rooster-haired man's hand. "If you're going to pull that stunt, the nature of the situation changes. First, I really like the current club and have no interest in starting a new one; second, I have no intention of joining any gangs, so naturally I won't involve you guys; finally, aren't you guys with Sunagawa?"

Sunagawa is the bald guy that Dong Yunshan saved.

"It was our eldest brother who told us to follow you," the man with the rooster-like haircut explained further. "Our eldest brother said... he's getting old, and he wants us to follow you to do the right thing."

"The club he started was just to get you guys involved in something worthwhile, and things are going pretty well now," Dong Yunshan smiled. "Besides, I haven't been doing anything particularly worthwhile either."

"Big Brother said to exclude... exclude what again?" The man with the rooster-like haircut looked behind him. "Little Wen, you tell me."

"The Organized Crime Group Exclusion Ordinance," a thin young man chimed in. "More and more regions are enacting similar ordinances, and many financial institutions and construction companies are being forced to establish vetting mechanisms and refuse to cooperate with parties associated with gangs."

"Violence exclusion regulations..." Dong Yunshan recalled, "Special supervision, prohibition of transactions, civil liability exemption, restrictions in public places... that's roughly it, right?"

"Neither I nor my family are allowed to open bank accounts; real estate developers or agents can refuse or terminate housing contracts; we get warnings about meals, gatherings, and travel..." Little Wen sighed. "Of course, it doesn't affect those in power, but for people like us..."

"A while ago, a gang leader bought two million worth of stuff on the electronics street, and he was arrested just for asking 'Can you give me a discount?'" The man with the mohawk lowered his head. "Big Brother is worried that he might get arrested one day too, and he doesn't want us to go astray because he's gone."

"I'm just a high school student," Dong Yunshan shook her head. "Why did you come after me?"

"Because my elder brother said you're a good person." The man with the rooster-like hair straightened up. "My elder brother told us to learn from you and be good people."

"I can offer help," Dong Yunshan sighed, "But whether you can truly learn it well depends on yourselves."

The man with the rooster-like head stood at attention. "Understood!"

"I happen to have a request coming up." Dong Yunshan opened her email to confirm the address. "It should be something you're quite familiar with."

"Familiar?" the man with the rooster-like hair asked tentatively. "What's up?"

"Make someone disappear."

Rooster-headed. "Huh?"

Is this... a good study habit?

--

"I've already quit my job, and I've cut off contact with all mutual acquaintances." Dong Yunshan looked up at the woman in front of her. "Furthermore, to avoid being discovered, we must sever all contact for at least two years after arriving at our destination—if everything is confirmed, we'll begin."

"Hmm." The woman nodded nervously.

"Any further questions?"

"They are..." the woman asked nervously, looking at the people behind Dong Yunshan.

"An employee of the Night Escape Agency." Dong Yunshan waved, and Little Wen immediately handed over a newly printed business card. "They're responsible for making people disappear overnight and start a new life somewhere else. Looks fierce, right? That way, your violent boyfriend won't dare to ask them where you went."

"...Hmm." A hint of worry flashed in the woman's eyes.

"You're familiar with my Odd Jobs Agency, and I believe you know my credibility as well." Dong Yunshan noticed the other's worry. "This is their first job, so I will accompany them throughout the entire process."

"Thank you so much!" The woman's eyes were red. "I've heard of similar things before, but they're very expensive, I don't have that much money, and I was worried... I trust you!"

"Then let's not delay." Dong Yunshan clapped his hands. "Get to work!"

A large group of people busied themselves loading the woman's belongings onto the car.

"Just like that, disappearing..." The man with the rooster-like hair leaned closer to Dong Yunshan. "Are we familiar with this kind of business?"

"It used to be called harboring, and related services included forging identity documents." Dong Yunshan got into the car and fastened his seatbelt. "Now it's called 'disappearance support' and 'missing persons support.' Depending on the urgency, distance traveled, and the antisocial tendencies of the individuals involved, the market price generally ranges from 100,000 to 300,000 yen."

"So profitable?" The man with the rooster-like haircut became visibly excited.

"Calm down," Dong Yunshan gestured with his chin, reminding him, "Concentrate on driving."

"Alright!" The man with the mohawk gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Brother Shan, where are we going?"

"Hokkaido."

"Drive there?"

"Let's go to the airport first." Dong Yunshan looked out the window. "It'll take two days, driving and taking the ferry."

--

"What's wrong?" Haruno Yukinoshita looked at her younger sister beside her, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You're almost in Hokkaido, but your heart is still in Chiba?"

"Unless your heart is also in Chiba, such a conclusion is baseless." Yukino Yukinoshita raised her eyes. "My body is on its way to Hokkaido, and naturally my heart is on its way to Hokkaido as well."

P. S.: Exams are approaching, and I'm feeling incredibly anxious...

One update today. I'm adjusting my schedule; I'll make up for it after the exams.

Thank you, thank you

Volume 5, May Holiday: Chapter 178 Hot Spring in the Snow

Golden Week at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the snow in the forest had not yet melted, and the new leaves of the birch trees were just beginning to sprout.

Strolling along the forest boardwalk, the tranquil atmosphere of nature lingers with every breath.

Led by a guide, we ventured deep into the forest, picking seasonal wild vegetables by the stream. We brought them back to the villa to make tempura and miso soup, accompanied by Hakodate of Hakodate tuna belly, ark shells from the Shakotan Peninsula, and botan shrimp, all caught that day. Finally, we finished with Tomakomai cheesecake and Rishiri kelp ice cream.

Private guest rooms and public facilities, such as the lobby, bath, library and restaurant, are equipped with large insulated windows, with forests nearby and mountains in the distance.

The clean lines of the cold concrete buildings further accentuate the softness and naturalness of the numerous wooden handicrafts, while the ample use of blank space sweeps away the cramped and rough feeling of the old-fashioned bathhouse.

Being there feels like walking in the wilderness; the minimalist elegance blends seamlessly with nature, creating a warm and relaxing environment.

The hot spring pool, built from ancient rock, is filled with volcanic water from a depth of 1,000 meters underground, which has reached the perfect natural temperature. The water flows gently through the hanging pipes, warming the stone walls and releasing warm steam.

During holidays like Golden Week, compared to crowded places, these secluded hot spring resorts nestled in quiet forests are a much better travel destination.

Yukino Yukinoshita immersed herself in the hot spring, feeling the comforting temperature, and her slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Although the physical training didn't go as originally planned, the walk in the woods still provided some exercise.

Whether it was because she was drawn to the scenery in the forest or because her physical strength had indeed improved, Yukino Yukinoshita walked for a long time today before feeling a little tired.

Even this bit of fatigue slowly dissipated in the hot spring.

The results were surprisingly good. I can recommend Shinonome to come over; he's always exercising and really needs it...

Thinking of this, Yukino Yukinoshita gently shook her head.

Although I don't know the exact cost, the expenses here are beyond what a high school student like Dong Yunshan could afford.

Given his personality, he wouldn't ask his family for money to relax.

I'll buy some hot spring powder to take back with me later.

"Yukino," came Yukinoshita's mother's gentle voice, "Are you there?"

The mother of the two daughters looked more like a mature older sister than a young woman. Her jet-black hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, and she exuded a calm and composed aura, with a gentle smile on her face.

She gently touched the water's surface with her jade-like toes, quickly adjusting to the temperature, before immersing her rounded calves into the water.

"I walked quite a bit today," Yukinoshita's mother said with concern as they sat by the Yukinoshita spring, waiting for their bodies to warm up. "How are you feeling?"

"It's alright." Yukino Yukinoshita looked away, her brows, which had just relaxed, began to furrow again.

Did you enjoy dinner?

"Mm." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently.

Kaiseki cuisine for dinner originated from Zen Buddhism. In order to resist hunger during long periods of Zen meditation, people would hold a stone in their stomach, which was called "kaiseki". Later, it developed into a simple meal before the tea ceremony, and then evolved into exquisite cuisine, becoming a minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes the natural seasonality and the original flavor of the ingredients.

The ingredients are strictly selected from the freshest seasonal raw materials, the plating incorporates seasonal elements, the seasoning is light to highlight the original flavor of the ingredients and avoid over-processing, and each dish is paired with unique pottery, lacquerware or porcelain, with the shape and color of the tableware echoing the dish.

Of course, there is another, even more distinctive feature.

few.

After all, it emphasizes an immersive experience that integrates nature, art, and philosophy, as well as the restraint of desires and a lingering appreciation experience found in Zen practice.

If it were Dong Yunshan, there would definitely be no enough to eat.

"Your father had already made arrangements," Yukino Yukinoshita's mother explained, seemingly noticing her downcast mood, "But something came up unexpectedly. Let's go out together again next time if there's a chance."

"I understand." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "Compared to us, who couldn't travel with Dad, Dad must be even sadder because he couldn't go on the trip."

Yukinoshita's mother paused slightly, then chuckled softly, leaning on the edge of the hot spring and immersing more of her skin in the water. "When you first suggested moving out and living alone, I was really a little angry. But now that I think about it, maybe it's a good thing."

"Mother..."

"I've watched you grow up since you were little, but I've never really felt like you've grown up." Reaching out to gently straighten her daughter's disheveled hair, Yukinoshita's mother's voice was wistful. "The changes each day are so subtle, so subtle that I didn't even notice. It wasn't until after so long that I realized how much Yukino has grown. I can't treat you like a child anymore; that's something I've only realized recently."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips; this was one of the reasons she moved out.
