After taking a shower, Eri Kisaki returned to her home, changed her clothes, and dressed up again before returning to the law office.
"Teacher, are you alright?" Assistant Midori Kuriyama asked.
"I'm fine."
Eri Kisaki opened the door to her office and went inside: "There were just some unexpected events… but they've been resolved."
"Oh…"
Seeing that Eri Kisaki didn't elaborate, Midori Kuriyama didn't press the matter, as she knew her teacher's temperament well.
Eri Kisaki sat on the sofa and picked up the bento that Midori Kuriyama had already bought for her, and began to eat.
However, the bento was rather salty, which made Eri Kisaki lose her appetite after only a couple of bites, her mouth still having a slightly salty aftertaste.
Putting down her chopsticks, Eri Kisaki said, "I don't want anything salty today. Please go buy some sushi and some desserts."
"Okay."
Midori Kuriyama nodded, then handed a piece of paper to Eri Kisaki: "Because you weren't here this morning, I pushed those appointments to this evening… Please take a look and see if there are any problems?"
Eri Kisaki glanced at it and saw that she would be busy until eleven o'clock tonight. She felt a little helpless about this, but there was nothing she could do, since she had chosen to be willful last night.
"Alright."
Eri Kisaki nodded.
Midori Kuriyama didn't say anything more, turned around, and left to buy lunch for Eri Kisaki.
After the door closed, Eri Kisaki immediately collapsed on the sofa, covering her face with a piece of paper.
She carefully recalled the events of last night.
This made her feel very strange.
Her persistence for the past ten years had been broken last night.
She couldn't understand why she had been so impulsive last night.
Shaking her head, Eri Kisaki stood up, walked to her desk, and sat down, beginning to focus on work to prevent herself from overthinking.

Lin Yi checked his inventory.
Last night, he had used three Favorability Boost Cards and two Favorability Event Cards in one go.
Only then did he achieve the effect of a 'night of fun'.
Estimating the gains and losses of this action.
Then without saying, Lin Yi definitely lost big time.
Three gold treasure chests and two silver treasure chests only resulted in one ordinary treasure chest.
Even an elementary school student would know it was a huge loss.
However, from the perspective of future strategies, this deal was definitely a profitable one!
When Ran introduces him to her mother in the future…
Eri Kisaki would probably be stunned on the spot when she saw that it was him, becoming extremely nervous.
And he could use this as a starting point to slowly break down Eri Kisaki's mental defenses.
Until finally achieving the 'rice bowl' ending!
In theory, Lin Yi could now ask Ran to take him to see her mother, and then directly start this melodramatic plot.
However, Lin Yi felt that this alone might not be enough.
Perhaps Eri Kisaki could be rational enough to completely discard the memories of that night.
Therefore, Lin Yi believed that he needed to deepen this stranger's affection even further, preferably to make her infatuated with him!
After Eri Kisaki gets into his car, he would give her a 'drainage ditch overtake', giving her a big surprise.
"Alas, the Favorability Boost Cards that I painstakingly accumulated have now been used up."
Lin Yi said with some emotion.
It's easy to trick a girl into a hotel, but it's not easy to walk into a girl's heart.
This is the so-called 'easy to steal a person, difficult to steal their heart'.
"A scholar cannot be without perseverance; his burden is heavy, and his course is long.~~"
After Lin Yi sighed, he then remembered the Qingdao sisters whom he had ruthlessly abandoned last night.
Honestly, he didn't want these things to happen.
He abandoned them halfway through the date.
Abandoning them would have been fine, but he left with another woman right in front of them.
This kind of operation… frankly speaking, Lin Yi was speechless about himself.
But Lin Yi never expected that he would meet Eri Kisaki in that place, and she was there alone, drinking in silence!
How could he possibly miss such a good opportunity?
Time waits for no one!
If he missed this time, who knows if there would be another?
No matter how good the Qingdao sisters were, they couldn't compare to his future mother-in-law, right?
As for the Qingdao sisters… Lin Yi naturally wouldn't give up on them just like that.
Lin Yi opened his phone and looked at the forty-plus missed calls, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
He pressed the missed call and dialed back.
— — — — — — — — — — — —
"Damn it, damn it!!"
Inside the room, Qingdao Quan Dai grabbed a large bolster pillow, constantly punching it with her fists.
"Why! Why! Waaah…"
Aoshima Zendai was both angry and crying.
"I was the one who went on a date with him first… Why did he suddenly go and find another woman? Waaah…"
Aoshima Zendai cried incessantly.
Aoshima Mina, who was beside her, couldn't help but hand her a tissue, saying worriedly, "Sister… don't cry anymore. You've been crying since you came back last night, and you continued crying when you woke up this morning… Your eyes are all swollen."
Aoshima Zendai took the tissue and wiped away her tears, asking her, "Mina, tell me. Why did he abandon me? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not good-looking enough? Waaah…"
Having been abandoned twice in a row, Aoshima Mina didn't know how to comfort her sister.
Just as Aoshima Mina was feeling troubled, the phone rang.
Aoshima Zendai just buried her head and cried, ignoring it. Mina then went over and picked up the phone. When she saw who was calling, she hurriedly said to Zendai, "Sister, he's calling!"
"He still has the nerve to call me!" Aoshima Zendai shouted angrily.
"Then… should I hang up?" Mina said.
"Wait!" Zendai hurriedly stopped her clueless sister. Couldn't she tell that she was just saying that out of anger?
Honestly!
"Give me the phone."
Zendai reached out to Mina for the phone, stubbornly saying, "I want to hear how he's going to explain himself!"
"Oh."
Mina obediently handed the phone to her.
Zendai quickly wiped away her tears, stopped crying, and then took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her breathing. She absolutely couldn't let him hear that she had been crying!
After preparing herself, Zendai immediately answered the phone. She said in a deliberately indifferent tone, "You finally answered the phone?"
From the other end of the phone, Lin Yi's voice came: "I'm sorry, something happened rather suddenly last night, so I left without saying goodbye."
"Something sudden?" Aoshima Zendai snorted coldly. She felt that Lin Yi was treating her like an idiot, and said, "Then tell me, what happened so suddenly?"
"A vicious murder case occurred in West Street last night… so I rushed over there."
Hearing this, Zendai quickly asked her sister for the phone and immediately entered "West Street" "Vicious Murder Case" into the search engine.
A message popped up immediately, confirming that it was true.
Zendai felt a little better in her heart, but she still interrogated, "What about the woman you were drinking with? Didn't you leave with her?"
"Her? Oh… I understand. Are you talking about Attorney Fei?"
"Attorney Fei?"
"Yes, her real name is Fei Eiri, and she's the wife of Detective Mouri… It's just that there were some conflicts between them, so they separated. I didn't expect to run into her here, so I chatted with her."
Zendai curiously searched for this name, and the basic information of Fei Eiri quickly came up. The undefeated queen of the legal world, and also her marital information.
Seeing this, Aoshima Zendai suddenly understood in her heart. No wonder he kept chatting with her last night. So she was Detective Mouri's wife!
He went over last night to greet Attorney Fei!
It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!
As soon as she thought it was a misunderstanding, a smile appeared on Aoshima Zendai's face again.
