"Tokisaki Kurumi!!!!"
Inaba Tsukiyo's angry roar and the subsequent sounds of beating made Miku and the others, who were eavesdropping outside, shiver and timidly return to their seats.
They wondered if it was their imagination, but they always felt that Kurumi was making a very strange laughing sound while being beaten. Did this girl have some strange hobby?
Thinking of this, Miku and Yoshino couldn't help but look at Clone Kurumi.
Facing their gazes, Clone Kurumi just smiled wryly and waved her right hand. She first glanced in the direction of the room, and after confirming that Inaba Tsukiyo had no intention of coming out, she revealed that Kurumi had tens of millions of Japanese Yen in pocket money every week.
"Ten... tens of millions?! And every week! This... this... this is many times more than my current idol work!"
As the only socialite present with an income, Miku stated that her concerts at most earned a million Japanese Yen each time, and that was before taxes.
Kurumi could have tens of millions in pocket money every week without doing anything. This... this... Miku suddenly felt that perhaps she should also be taken care of by Inaba Tsukiyo like Kurumi, so she wouldn't have to work hard and could just stay home as a lazy person every day.
Or perhaps she could ask Inaba Tsukiyo to set up an agency for her, so she could accept whatever schedule she wanted without worrying about time.
However, where did this girl get so much money? Tens of millions of Japanese Yen in pocket money every week, this girl couldn't have robbed a bank, could she?
Yoshino didn't have much concept of money. She only remembered Inaba Tsukiyo telling her that money was something that could be spent freely, and that whatever she needed, Inaba Tsukiyo would get it for Yoshino, no matter how much it cost.
So Yoshino didn't feel anything about Kurumi having tens of millions of Japanese Yen in pocket money every month. Instead, she found it strange why Kurumi would tell Inaba Tsukiyo about this.
"Hehe~ Actually, Original Body always wanted Tsukiyo-chan to pay attention to her. Although Original Body still wants to fulfill her long-cherished wish, she has worked hard for so long, and she wants to rest well."
Of course, the most important reason was that after Kurumi learned that Nia possessed the omniscient Angel, she asked her to use the Angel to gather information about the Origin Spirit.
After obtaining the information she wanted, Kurumi understood that even if she used the Twelfth Bullet to return to the past, she would not be able to defeat the Origin Spirit.
So she changed her goal; she wanted to go back even further into the past and eliminate the three culprits who caused the Origin Spirit to appear.
However, before achieving this goal, she wanted to rest for a while; she had worked so hard for so many years, and she was a little tired.
Now that she finally had someone she could rely on, she wanted to be a bit lazy, rest well under his protection, and do the things she wanted to do.
It was just that Inaba Tsukiyo was always busy with other Spirits' affairs, which is why Kurumi came up with this method to get Inaba Tsukiyo's attention.
Although this method was a bit rough, Kurumi didn't dislike rough treatment; after all, she used to kill and be killed at the same time.
She was already used to the feeling of pain. Moreover, Inaba Tsukiyo seemed to be using force, but he was actually just using a method that produced a lot of noise; in reality, it didn't hurt much at all.
The reason she didn't let Clone Kurumi return was simply that Kurumi wanted to keep this clone, which didn't consume her own time, to serve her.
This way, she wouldn't have to manage the room's hygiene, and many things wouldn't require her personal attention; she just needed her to help.
After Kurumi's cries lasted for a while, Inaba Tsukiyo emerged from Kurumi's room with a dark expression.
"Tsu... Tsukiyo-chan, are you alright?"
"Yeah, yeah. Your expression is like someone who won a multi-million dollar lottery but found out it expired when they went to cash it in. It's a bit scary."
Yoshino asked with some concern, while Yoshinon was simply gloating.
Ignoring Yoshinon's schadenfreude, Inaba Tsukiyo reached out and stroked Yoshino's little head, saying with a smile,
"I just feel a bit annoyed that I spend so much money every week just to get angry, that's all. I'm fine, Yoshino."
She wasn't particularly interested in money itself; she was just annoyed by Kurumi's provocative gaze. She felt her authority was challenged and had to let that girl know her place.
(fuhai: Authority? Wait a minute? Did I add that for you again? I don't remember that?)
After calming Yoshino's emotions, Inaba Tsukiyo took Nia's breakfast and went to Nia's door.
