I put down the chopstick and looked at my aunt and uncle.
"Uncle, Aunt. I will come back late today."
"Eh? Why? Do you get into trouble, dear?"
"Nothing like that, Aunty. I already promised my friend that I would go to her house to do some group study."
"Ara~ A young lady, huh?"
Ah, is this the legendary teasing? I can already hear it in her tone.
"Yes. Her name is Akagawa Yuka, and I already promised her that I would come to her house to do some group study."
"Akagawa?"
I look at my uncle, nod my head, and say.
"Yes. She is Akagawa Yuka."
"As in the Akagawa Publishing Company. The place where you publish your manga."
"Yes. She is the one helping me with all the legal stuff and the bank problem. They manage to let me own an account that lets me receive the payment for the manga I create. Getting the signature of my father was also easy enough as long as I did not meet him in person."
