"Is it really out with the old, in with the new?"
"We slept together yesterday, and today I can't even eat?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.
But Mizusaki Yuma knew that this woman was faking it from the start.
They did indeed sleep together yesterday, but that was all at her own request.
Originally, Kasumigaoka Utaha was sleeping on the floor by herself.
"Xiao You!"
"Huh?"
Tohru glared at Mizusaki Yuma, what exactly did they do last night?
Although both of them knew very well.
But Tohru clearly didn't know.
"Last night, did Xiao You... lose his purity?"
"Can 'purity' even be used for a man? Last night she threw herself at me, and I just didn't want her."
"..."
This one sentence instantly stunned Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had thought she had won.
What did he mean she threw herself at him and was even disliked by him?
"So that's how it is."
Tohru nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder Xiao You wasn't that enthusiastic about her.
So it was this bad woman who made the first move and was then disliked by Xiao You.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyelids twitched uncontrollably as she watched, did she really believe Mizusaki Yuma's words?
Although she was indeed a little scared yesterday.
But it definitely wasn't that meaning.
"Oh, right, I need to tell you something. Did you read the previous contract carefully?"
Mizusaki Yuma was almost finished eating now.
He placed his bowl on the table, then pulled out the contract and laid it out.
If she had read it clearly before, then he wouldn't need to take it out and explain it.
He could just fulfill it directly.
"Isn't it just money? How much do you need? But if it's too much, I'll have to apply for installments!"
Solving problems, in her opinion, was just about paying money for a transaction.
Although she hadn't seen any words like 'money' before.
"It's not money, look at this clause..."
As expected, she hadn't read it.
Mizusaki Yuma thought silently.
He figured if she had seen this condition, she probably wouldn't have signed the contract so casually.
She took the contract Mizusaki Yuma handed over and then looked at the place he pointed to.
The more Kasumigaoka Utaha read, the worse her expression became.
Why hadn't she seen this on the contract before?
It couldn't have been added later, could it?
"You just didn't read carefully. I told you before to read it very carefully..."
He remembered that he had repeatedly told Kasumigaoka Utaha to read carefully.
This person had just picked it up, glanced at it casually, thinking she looked cool.
Then, without thinking, she directly signed her name.
Now, looking at her, she seemed to have a bit of regret...
"But this is too harsh, isn't it? To actually sell myself to you for ten years, a girl's ten years..."
"Sorry, I'm not talking about that kind of relationship, it's merely a master-servant relationship."
Mizusaki Yuma corrected her thinking.
From the beginning, the contract he intended to sign wasn't about that kind of relationship.
These ten years, of course, meant Kasumigaoka Utaha had to be on call.
She had to do whatever he asked her to do, and she had to try her best, whether she could achieve it or not.
"But I still have my own job."
"I won't call you when there's nothing, but you need to remain on standby twenty-four hours a day."
He had originally wanted Kasumigaoka Utaha to be his maid.
But now he had Tohru.
So he gave up that idea.
But the contract was already signed, so it would be a waste not to use it.
In the future, he would just have her work at his shop or help him with some things.
Finally, at this 'harmonious' dinner table, Kasumigaoka Utaha also accepted this fact.
The contract was there; she couldn't go back on it even if she wanted to.
There was also another clause on it: ten years of lifespan would be taken.
After thinking about it, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that this condition was not unacceptable.
Compared to Eriri, she had witnessed Mizusaki Yuma's abilities.
She had never thought the transaction at Yorozuya before was fake.
"But if it's a maid, don't you already have Tohru?"
Tohru touched her dragon horns, she was already here.
Why would he need another one?
Could it be that Xiao You was planning to promote her directly to the role of wife?
Tohru could only think of this after a moment of thought.
Otherwise, why would he find another one?
"Kasumigaoka Utaha will do miscellaneous tasks, and you will be responsible for housework."
"Miscellaneous tasks..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath.
She felt like she had no temper at all here; this guy had never treated her as a woman.
He even brought up 'miscellaneous tasks'.
So, she could only do miscellaneous tasks, huh?
"Anything is fine! I'll go take a nice bath soon!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha had a sudden thought, and an idea instantly formed in her mind.
Looking at Tohru, it was clear she liked Mizusaki Yuma.
She only had one way to make him look bad today, and that was to incite Tohru.
"Okay!" Mizusaki Yuma nodded in agreement, which made Kasumigaoka Utaha a little indecisive.
In this situation, even if she wanted to, she would probably pretend to refuse.
But what was with this direct agreement? Didn't he have to consider Tohru, who was standing beside them, with eyes practically spitting fire?
Kasumigaoka Utaha had already spoken, and now, even if she wanted to go back on her word, she felt she couldn't say it.
She couldn't have just spoken, only to be scared off by Mizusaki Yuma right after, could she?
If that happened, she would probably be completely dominated by Mizusaki Yuma from then on.
"I know, he probably agreed to save face!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly remembered that nothing had happened last night.
Given her guess, what did it matter if he slept next to her today?
It was just that Mizusaki Yuma was trying to save face, knowing that if he refused, she would realize he had a problem, and that's why he accepted.
And then, he could just find an excuse, saying he was too tired today.
Then he could just go to sleep.
The same trick wouldn't work on her, Kasumigaoka Utaha, twice!
Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha hummed a cheerful tune, went back to get her clothes, and came over.
"She's happy about this? Does she like me?" Mizusaki Yuma thought to himself.
Generally speaking, if she didn't like him...
Could she be this happy?
It seemed his charm was just too great after all.
