Chapter 9 - Awkwardness (Setsui’s POV)

*grabs coffee mug and heads upstairs*

I wonder if she is awake yet.

I arrived at the guest room's door and saw Syan-san lying flat on the bed with her eyes wide open.

Pfff! What is that expression?

"Good morning Syan-san."

*yawns*

She suddenly sat up and exclaimed, "Setsui-san! Last night! You!"

Ho? What is she imagining?

Oh my. Haha her face is like a peach, isn't she blushing a bit too much?

"I... We... Nothing happened last night right?"

Hehe let me tease her a bit.

"And what if something did happen?"

My eyes widened.

That look on her face was so cute, she looked like a little kid who got her candy taken away from her. Her face looked like she was about to cry, red with embarrassment, it made me feel like I was bullying her.

Haha how fun.

She quickly went under the sheets and covered her head with the blankets.

I sighed with a smile and counted to 20 in my head, she didn't come out, so I decided to go up to her, just to mess with her a little more.

I grazed my hand onto her fingers that were gripping onto the blankets so tightly.

"You're going to suffocate if you stay under there any longer."

I waited for a moment and half of her face suddenly popped out.

Oh my, she was like a tomato at this point. Just a LITTLE more.

I bent over to the side of her face, right at the ear and whispered with my deep morning voice, "Good morning Syan-san."

Her eyes were closed shut and I could see her little fingers trembling. What a reaction.

Like a kitten that took a bath for the first time. Adorable.

Sigh... I'm being too mean, aren't I? She looks like she is going to explode soon. Haha fine fine, I'll leave her be now.

I set down the clothes I had asked my maid to buy for her on the bedside table and headed to the entrance of the room. I felt a little guilty for being such a bully, so I thought I'll just tell her then and there.

"Oh and don't worry about last night, nothing happened between us. And my maid was the one who helped you change", I said, reassuring her so that her mind wouldn't be clogged with ridiculous ideas of what had happened yesterday.

I gave her a smile and left the room to go get myself ready for another yet eventful day.

"Wonder how she would react if she found out about the news of the attacker from last night."

I walked back to my room at the end of the hallway happily as I recalled her flustered reactions and started to dress.

*message pops up on the phone*

———TANAKA-SAN———

Tanaka: Young master, you're scheduled today to have an interview with the JIN (Japan International News) later in the day at 5pm to talk about the LifeTimeWorks incident.

You will also be having a dinner gathering at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building tonight to celebrate the release of the new movie "Beyond Your Life" with the star actor Mahiko Zachi as the host.

Oh, and you are also required to bring a plus-one. I'll come to pick you up later at 11 am, so please be ready before then.

————————————————

Heh? Mahiko is finally holding a celebration for his movie? Well, it has been awhile since I have seen my old friend, guess it's a good time to catch up.

But a plus-one? Why so sudden? I don't even have anyone to inv—

No wait I do. I do. And she is right in this very building.

Syan-san.
