Chapter 461: A U-turn in Attitude
After experiencing numerous incidents and sudden challenges during this period, this group of young people finally had a brief moment of peace.
Due to the recent series of troublesome events, including Aso's arrest, as well as the various problems encountered in the operation of the studio, everyone in the team is busy and overwhelmed.
Every day from morning to night, in addition to doing our best to teach the students, we also have to collect clues from all sides at night to find the people who are hiding and causing trouble as soon as possible.
This repetitive lifestyle makes everyone feel extremely tired, but also enjoys it.
However, things are far from being as simple as imagined. Even if they try their best to improve their willpower, sometimes they still cannot avoid being defeated by their inner weakness.
Fortunately, when Fujiwara Takumi and his friends were in the most difficult time and were about to give up, Jiren appeared in their lives. Jiren's attitude was gentle and kind, and he took the initiative to help them catch Aso, which temporarily calmed the situation. Everyone returned to their residence exhausted, except Fujiwara Takumi, who was still awake because of his recent insomnia.
After briefly communicating with Ciren via the phone, he finally felt a little sleepy.
The next day, the four friends made an appointment to meet Ciren at a restaurant. This time, their main purpose was to thank Ciren and invite him to a simple meal, hoping to get his approval.
Jiren naturally agreed to Fujiwara Takumi's proposal. After all, in his opinion, they were already close friends.
"Just find a seat and sit down."
Fujiwara Takumi politely offered his seat and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much for all your efforts for our affairs. Without your support, perhaps we would have let go long ago and let Ma live even more freely."
When Ciren heard this, he just smiled and shook his head, "Don't say that. It is natural for friends to help each other."
Since everyone can be so honest with each other, he will never let everyone down a second time in return.
"Oh yeah, especially seeing Aso's embarrassing situation, he still tried to act tough and challenge us like a scoundrel!"
Uehara Mika's eyes lit up with admiration.
"I also sincerely admire you. Not only do you have outstanding abilities, but the efficiency of the partners you bring with you is also astonishing!" Hojo Go said the words of praise excitedly.
This sudden admiration made Hojo Rin, who was sitting next to him, feel awkward, and he secretly wondered if his brother would express the same emotion to him. Although he felt uneasy, he still sincerely expressed his gratitude to Jiren.
In contrast, Jiren acted very modest and low-key; but then he suddenly became serious, it turned out that he came with a purpose. "Fujiwara, I need your help on something." After seeing the other party nod, Jiren said straight to the point:
"As you know, I formed a team after that, but my technical level is really not comparable to yours, so I hope to get your support; otherwise, I am afraid I will never be able to participate in the Royal Race again in the future."
It is because of this concern that I specifically ask for your help.
Hearing this, Hojo Rin's brows involuntarily frowned. It can be seen that he was very unhappy, as if he had heard something that made him uncomfortable. Yes, this sentence came from Jiren's mouth.
"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to participate in the royal competition, so I thought of you."
Hojo Rin's mind kept echoing what Jiren had just said. It was like the words had taken root in his mind and could not be shaken off. Hojo Rin was now in deep thought, and his face became very ugly.
However, he did not continue to listen to Ciren's endless explanation. Instead, he became a little annoyed, but he still couldn't help but interrupt. He couldn't figure out what Ciren meant by saying this. Did he really want to be friends with them, or did he think they had some special value?
Uehara Mika was the one who listened most carefully among the others. She was very willing to hear how Jiren recognized his mistakes, and she would be very happy if he could recognize his mistakes and correct them. She also hoped to have such a friend.
But she seemed not to have heard Jiren's words "That's why I thought of you." Not only her, the other two people seemed to have not noticed this sentence, only Hojo Rin heard it clearly.
"Wait a minute." Hojo Rin suddenly interrupted them, especially Jiren. This sudden remark made everyone stop and listen to his different opinions, especially his views on Jiren.
"Ciren, you just said that you thought of us? Is it because your team's level is not good enough and you want us to be your substitutes? Tsk, Ciren, is it really appropriate to say that?"
Fujiwara Takumi originally wanted to persuade Hojo Rin to speak less, after all, everyone was in a public place, but Hojo Rin was obviously not satisfied. He believed that all of Jiren's actions this time were hurting them.
Just when Hojo Rin really thought that Jiren wanted to reconcile with everyone, Jiren's words suddenly dispelled his trust...
At this point, Ciren also realized that he had said the wrong thing. He didn't know how to explain it, so he could only apologize with an embarrassed look on his face: "I was sincere, it was really just a slip of the tongue, I did it wrong, I know I was wrong."
However, Hojo Rin did not intend to let him go: "But I don't want to forgive you anymore. I don't think it's surprising that we are nothing in your eyes. After all, you are a member of the royal family. How can we get close to you? At most, we are your backup options."
Hojo Rin didn't know why he suddenly said so much, while Jiren felt guilty and kept apologizing. Uehara Mika and Hojo Go saw his sincerity, but Hojo Rin still didn't believe it.
In order to avoid further awkwardness, and considering that Jiren had indeed helped them, Fujiwara Takumi made a suggestion: "Then Jiren, if you make a promise, we will help you."
"I promise, I will never let you down again, and this time I will definitely not let you down like before." After seeing Fujiwara Takumi nod, the others did not object. Several people followed Jiren to the royal family.
Several people followed Ciren to the long-missed place. The royal family was the same as before, almost unchanged, even the staff had not changed, only a few maids were missing.
Fujiwara Takumi looked around and found that nothing had changed much. The old butler was still the same old butler, but there were fewer female employees around him. Overall, it was still quite quiet.
But this time everyone felt different from the first time they came here. Many things had changed, including their mood.
They thought they would never come back after leaving the royal family, but it turned out that everything was not as simple as they imagined. Later, they met Ciren, and after reaching an agreement with him, the group of people went around and finally returned to the place they swore not to set foot in.
