Chapter 116: Dinner with Haruno, Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of Yukinoshita Construction Company
"You guy..."
Kawasaki Saki's expression was very vivid. While showing a look of disgust, there was also a hint of exasperated shyness in her eyes.
"Don't say such things randomly."
Just as her voice fell, the door of the coffee shop was suddenly pushed open.
"Welco..."
Kawasaki Saki turned around. Just halfway through her greeting, when she saw that petite figure clearly, she couldn't help but freeze.
"Kei... Keika? Why are you here?"
Kawasaki Keika, wearing a small dress, walked over quickly, looked up at her sister, her cute little face written with the word "angry."
"I knew it. You said you were going out to play with friends, but sure enough, you ran out to work part-time again!"
Facing her sister, Kawasaki Saki completely lost the tough aura of a delinquent girl, showing a gentle demeanor like a good wife and loving mother instead.
She smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.
"Keika, today is Saturday, no school. Besides, working in a coffee shop isn't tiring."
"That won't do either!"
Keika raised her little head, hands on her hips, speaking righteously.
"When you go to school, you are already working every day. And for several nights, I deliberately didn't sleep and found you came home in the early morning. If this continues, your body won't be able to take it!"
Facing her sister's words, Kawasaki Saki could only remain silent, unable to refute.
Just as Keika wanted to say something more, her peripheral vision suddenly caught Yoru sitting opposite, watching the show.
"Big Brother?"
The moment she saw Yoru, Keika even forgot about scolding her sister. Her small face was full of excitement as she leaned close to the table.
"Big Brother, why are you here?"
Before Yoru could answer, Keika glanced at her sister, covered her mouth, and whispered.
"Could it be... you are dating my sister?"
Although she deliberately lowered her voice, Kawasaki Saki still heard her words and blushed slightly.
"What are you talking about? He is meeting someone here; he is a customer. Meeting here is just a coincidence!"
"Eh? Really?"
Kawasaki Saki saw disappointment written all over her sister's cute face after hearing this sentence; she even sighed.
"What a pity."
Kawasaki Saki was speechless.
She discovered that her usually obedient and cute sister, once encountering things related to this Yoru classmate, or even just mentioning his name in conversation, would instantly show a feeling...
A feeling like a little fan meeting her idol in person.
Kawasaki Saki felt it was very outrageous.
Her sister clearly met Yoru only once; how did she become like this?
At this time, Keika stared at Yoru sitting there, worshipful little stars about to appear in her eyes.
Since meeting him last time, she had already confirmed.
This was the hero "Kamen Rider" himself!
As one of the students who witnessed the heroic posture of "Kamen Rider" with her own eyes and was rescued in the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten incident, Keika's worship for Yoru was beyond words.
If her sister could become a couple with the hero she worshiped most...
That would be so cool.
Unfortunately.
Sister is disappointing.
Looking at Keika's expression of hating iron for not becoming steel, Kawasaki Saki was powerless to complain.
"Big Brother, can I sit next to you?"
"Sure."
After getting Yoru's permission, Keika immediately hopped onto the seat, swinging her two small legs and humming a song, looking immersed in joy.
"Kawasaki-san."
Yoru looked at Kawasaki Saki with a complicated expression and smiled.
"You are very short of money?"
Kawasaki Saki frowned. She originally wanted to reply in her usual cold tone, but before she could speak, Keika rushed to answer.
"Big Brother, we have many siblings in our family, so Big Sister works many jobs to subsidize household expenses."
After saying this sentence, Keika added immediately.
"And, don't look at Big Sister like this; actually, she is very gentle and virtuous at home."
"Good personality, no bad habits."
"Very smart too. So far, haven't been in love yet...."
Hearing her sister speaking more and more outrageously, Kawasaki Saki hurriedly interrupted.
"Stop it quickly. Why are you telling him this?"
"Hehe."
Keika stuck out her tongue and smiled slyly.
"Big Sister, you have no friends. Classmates, interact more."
Yoru gave a precise complaint from the side.
"You want me to be your brother-in-law?"
Keika nodded like a chick pecking rice without hesitation.
"I think it's okay."
"What okay!!!"
Kawasaki Saki's face flushed red. She blocked her chest with the tray for serving coffee, looking at Yoru who was smiling ambiguously, and explained stammeringly.
"I... I don't mean that, ha. You... don't misunderstand."
Keika muttered softly.
"Mmhmm, not yet."
Herself frantically trying to cover up, sister frantically dismantling the stage.
Kawasaki Saki really couldn't handle it.
"So that's how it is."
Yoru nodded noncommittally, looked at Kawasaki Saki, and smiled.
"Kawasaki-san, if I remember correctly, you should be very interested in sewing, right?"
Kawasaki Saki froze.
"How do you know?"
"Don't worry about it; I just know."
Yoru obviously didn't intend to explain to Kawasaki Saki, just said faintly.
"If you are confident in your craft, I can offer you a part-time job."
"Part-time job?"
Kawasaki Saki looked skeptical.
"Won't be something weird, right?"
"Look at what you're saying."
Yoru rolled his eyes.
"If I want to do something weird to you, you should be paying me, right?"
Before Kawasaki Saki could answer, Keika nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Mmhmm mmhmm, Big Brother is right."
"You really..."
Kawasaki Saki was powerless to complain.
"Anyway."
Yoru stood up and placed a bill on the table.
"If you are interested, you can come to the club room to find me on Monday. If not coming, it doesn't matter; up to you."
After he left the coffee shop, looking at the thoughtful Kawasaki Saki, Keika said earnestly.
"Big Sister, cherish the opportunity."
Kawasaki Saki laughed and cried.
"You like him so much; you marry him when you grow up."
Unexpectedly for Kawasaki Saki, hearing this, Keika blushed and said shyly.
"Mmhmm... if Big Brother is willing, of course I won't refuse."
Kawasaki Saki was speechless.
.....
That evening, inside a Western restaurant on the shopping street.
"This place is nice."
Dressed in an exquisite evening gown, deliberately dressed up Haruno looked around the environment, then looked at Yoru sitting opposite wearing ordinary casual clothes, and smiled.
"Have you been here with someone else before?"
Yoru always spoke frankly, nodding directly.
"Yes, this is the second time."
"Second time..."
Haruno murmured, then rested her chin on one hand, the corner of her mouth raising a smile.
"To say something selfish, I also want to be your first time in some aspect."
Yoru took a sip from the water glass and smiled back.
"Last time in the hotel, you already became one."
Haruno pursed her charming red lips, covered her mouth, and chuckled lightly.
"First drinking partner, right? I don't believe I am your first time in that aspect; after all, you are so skilled."
"Both aspects."
Haruno looked surprised upon hearing this.
"Really?"
Yoru nodded: "Mmhmm, really."
Haruno was silent for a moment, then gently held Yoru's hand placed on the table, smiling gently.
"Although I don't quite believe it, even if you are comforting me, as long as you have this intention, I feel very happy."
After saying this sentence, Haruno immediately spoke again.
"By the way, send me your bank account number."
"Sure."
Yoru knew this was to pay for the Kengan match.
He didn't choose to be polite.
This was what he deserved.
Winning a Kengan match brought Yukinoshita Construction Company not only the profit from the bet but also meant that after that match, Yukinoshita Construction Company entered the circle of top companies in Sakura Prefecture.
This couldn't be bought with any amount of money.
"By the way, one more thing I want to ask you."
Hearing Haruno's sentence, Yoru frowned and waved his hand.
"I am not a professional fighter. Fighting one match for you is about enough; don't push your luck."
Although Yoru's words were very straightforward, Haruno noticed a detail.
He said fighting a match for her, not for the Yukinoshita Construction Company.
In the past, facing such tiny details, even the passionate pursuit of those wealthy young masters, Haruno would only refuse politely with a fake smile.
Now...
She seemed to have become lovestruck.
Yoru said such words; he must have me in his heart.JPG.
"Not this matter."
Haruno stopped smiling, looking very serious.
"My sister Yukinoshita Yukino is your classmate."
"I hope, when you are in school, can you take care of her more for me?"
Facing Haruno's sincere request, Yoru nodded with a smile.
"Sure. After all, she is my sister-in-law (Little Sister-in-law). Taking care of her is certainly no problem."
Hearing him agree, Haruno breathed a sigh of relief.
Since seeing evil spirits with her own eyes, she always felt Kyoto was a very dangerous city.
Then, where was the safest place?
Haruno thought it was by Yoru's side.
And in her heart, her sister Yukino was a person with a very awkward personality, seemingly outspoken, but actually indecisive and unable to choose at critical moments.
Compared to Yukino, Yoru gave a completely opposite impression.
Never hesitated. Although always saying some very outrageous words, he gave a sense of freedom not bound by anything.
Genuine...
Haruno wasn't sure if the thing Yukino pursued existed in this world.
But if it really existed, Yoru must possess the so-called "Genuine."
She hoped Yukino could find what she had been pursuing.
"However..."
Speaking of this, Haruno suddenly frowned, looking at Yoru with slight vigilance.
"Don't... do that when the time comes."
Yoru understood Haruno's meaning and directly turned on the playing dumb mode.
"Do what?"
"Forget it."
Haruno shook her head, thinking that kind of thing is impossible.
My sister feels completely unrelated to things like love.
No need to mention it specifically.
"By the way, regarding Sakurajima Mai coming to cut the ribbon on site, it's set for tomorrow morning. Is that okay?"
"Okay, I'll call her later."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this sentence, a meaningful look flashed in Haruno's eyes.
"Not calling the manager, but contacting her personally directly... truly intriguing."
"Intriguing what."
Facing the hint hidden in Haruno's words, Yoru chose to strike hard directly.
"Calculating by the time we met, she ranks ahead of you. Stop sniffing around."
Haruno froze, then sighed helplessly.
"You guy, being a scumbag a bit too obviously, right?"
"Nonsense, can this be called being a scumbag?"
Yoru was righteous and stern.
"I like each of you equally; this is Pure Love."
"Good grief, 'us'? So there are more than two?"
Yoru: "...."
"Hungry, let's eat."
....
After eating, it was the joyful segment again.
Inside the luxury suite of the hotel.
"Gen... gently."
Haruno bit her lower lip lightly, mist rising in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry.
The exquisite evening gown was thrown casually on the carpet.
All over her body, only black high heels with elegant curves remained.
Haruno's ten slender white fingers were about to dig into Yoru's back.
She couldn't remember how many times this was.
Or rather, her brain was so blank that she couldn't even do basic counting.
Even though exhausted, Haruno still held on, leaned close to Yoru's ear, lips slightly parted, and whispered in an extremely seductive tone.
"Want to... anywhere is fine, as you like."
....
After a night, early next morning, in front of the brand new office building built in the name of Yukinoshita Construction Company in Kyoto.
"Phew, so hot."
Yui took out a tissue, wiping the sweat from her forehead, while fanning her snow-white neck with the other hand, looking like she was about to overheat.
"After all, summer is coming soon."
Miko said softly and handed the fan in her hand to Yui.
"Here, take it."
"Eh? Miko, aren't you hot?"
"I'm okay."
Yui took the fan, looked at Rio and Miko beside her, suddenly pulled the two closer to her, and smiled sweetly.
"Then let's fan together."
Three girls leaned close together.
Rio pushed her glasses frame and complained faintly.
"Like this, it's even hotter, right?"
Yui laughed carelessly.
"It's fine. The wind I fan is blown on three people together anyway."
Miko said helplessly from the side.
"I think you just want the three of us to be closer, right?"
"Hehe, discovered by you."
The reason the three members of the Super-Quant Club gathered here was simple.
Mai was going to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Yukinoshita Construction Company.
Although Rio regarded her as a competitor, she also recognized the opponent as a member of the Super-Quant Club.
Naturally, everyone came to support.
However...
Rio glanced around at the reporters holding long guns and short cannons (cameras), waiting eagerly even in the hot weather of early summer, thinking it seems my support isn't needed.
She ultimately underestimated the influence of the name Sakurajima Mai in the entertainment industry.
"Eh, Yoru, Yahallo~"
Seeing Yoru walking over, Yui waved and greeted immediately.
Result: After greeting, she found that the two people beside her reacted very strangely after seeing Yoru walk over.
Faces red.
Eyes dodging.
Peeking at the opponent with peripheral vision, looking like harboring some guilt.
Yui looked dumbfounded.
What is this situation?
Did something happen that I don't know?
"Yahallo, Yui, Miko, Rio."
After Yoru greeted with a smile, he stood beside the Super-Quant Club members.
Under the live broadcast of reporters and even TV station reporters, Mrs. Yukinoshita, Yukinoshita Haruno, and Sakurajima Mai, who wore casual clothes, not dressed up deliberately, just wearing ordinary T-shirt and trousers but still beautiful and charming, walked out of the office building.
"Hello everyone."
The one responsible for speaking wasn't Mrs. Yukinoshita, but Haruno.
Facing such a big scene, she didn't seem stage fright at all, but smiled gracefully.
"Presumably, everyone came today not focusing on us. So, I'll save everyone's time and make a long story short."
"Our Yukinoshita Construction Company has always been conducting projects within Chiba Prefecture."
"Perhaps some of you have heard the name Yukinoshita Construction Company, but I believe most people present don't know much about our company."
Speaking of this, Haruno paused slightly. After arousing the curiosity of all reporters, she smiled and spoke.
"However, this office building is just the first attempt of our Yukinoshita Construction Company to step out of Chiba Prefecture."
"I can tell everyone responsibly here that our Yukinoshita Construction Company never has the habit of starting well but ending poorly."
"Next, we will undertake more projects. Hope everyone supports us in the future."
"That is all."
Haruno's speech and the confident aura revealed in her words made even these reporters, who were originally not very interested in the Yukinoshita Construction Company, applaud involuntarily.
The construction company of the Chiba Prefectural Assembly member's wife marching into Kyoto with great fanfare and momentum?
This seems to be good news too.
And when Mai walked forward, the reporters went crazy. Before she could speak, they immediately threw out various questions.
"Miss Sakurajima Mai, have you considered coming back?"
"Miss Sakurajima Mai, do you already have a specific plan for comeback?"
"Why did you suddenly come to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Yukinoshita Construction Company after announcing retirement for so long? Is it because of the high endorsement fee?"
"Miss Sakurajima Mai, have you ever thought that after experiencing a gap period of more than two years, you can no longer be as successful as before in the entertainment industry today?"
