Mike stopped right in front of Yuna. The girl in front of him still had the same hairstyle, long hair flowing at the back. The fancy turquoise dress with black and white combination really helped to enhance her beauty to another level.
Not to mention, the light makeup on her angelic face made her radiance more attractive.
Mike looked at Yuna's turquoise eyes for a few seconds, then at her glossy pink lips. "You look even more charming, Yuna-san. Your dress exudes a special charm that is hard to explain. Sorry for my lack of words, but you are a stunning beauty that reminds me of the story of a holy angel from the northern sacred forest."
"Thank you, Mike-san. You're surprisingly good with words now. I wonder if my good boy has become a gentleman in just two hours with Kisa." Yuna appreciated Mike's compliment with a sweet smile.
"Alright, this is what I wanted to talk about." Mike took a deep breath and immediately got to the main topic of his restlessness. "I'm here because of you and willing to help you. However, I haven't heard any word from you. Can I hear it now?"
"Uhm, but, before that, are you sure about this, Mike-san? Are we going to make it happens? Or, let's just forget about this betting game. I can handle that guy myself." Yuna had mixed feelings. She thought she would only get into trouble after trouble with this.
"You have so little faith in me, Yuna-san. But, it's okay. Let's bet with me too now, Yuna-san." Mike smiled wryly and raised his index finger.
Yuna felt something stabbed her heart. She was the one who invited Mike to join her clan, but she was also the one who didn't trust him? Mike could also not trust her anymore then! Because of that, she needed to immediately follow Mike's flow and rhythm because this boy looked so confident. "What kind of bet?"
"If I fail to help you win the bet with the annoying man in question, then I will receive one punishment from you. I will also be the one who will help you with the consequences in any way, no matter how." Mike put his hand on his chest.
"Wha- What are the stakes if you succeed?" Yuna felt a little nervous because she looked into Mike's blue eyes. She could see absolute confidence and determination.
"If I succeed, the Kisaragi Clan will have to help me out of any trouble that will come my way, and also you owe me one favor. Please don't forget this, Yuna-san, I'll be getting into a lot of trouble after this, and I can only be you clan's secret member. With that being said, no outsider will know, am I right?" Mike pointed his palm at Yuna.
"I-I'm aware of the seriousness of this, but, if you display such confidence, I..." Yuna became the one who became troubled, but she immediately made up her mind shortly after. "The first condition is a sure thing, Mike-san. We've already discussed the various preparations for you. For the second one, fine, I'll owe you one favor. You can make any request to me."
"I'm glad to hear that, Yuna-san. Then, I would like to hear your words before this betting game begins. Please." Mike smiled faintly and nodded. He pointed his palm at Yuna once again.
"Ah, uhh... Well, Mike, I will address you without honorifics, and so will you. For now indefinitely, please be my 'fake' boyfriend. I expect a perfect yet amazing performance from you. Please take good care of me." Yuna ended her statement with a slight bow.
"I will also be in your care, Yuna." Mike already understood the custom and followed Yuna's movements to give a slight bow.
"Oh my, did we witness a couple who just confessed their feelings? Ufufu... Finally our Yuna-sama is no longer single?" Asako covered her mouth and giggled.
"Yeah, that's good for you, my bro, Mike-han.?" Isei gave Mike a thumbs up and a big smile. Then, he glanced with charm and gleam at the nearby girl. "Hey, are you also willing to be my 'fake' girlfriend, Yukiyo-chan."
"Tsk, you're annoying, stay away from me." Yukiko went away from Isei to approach Asako for help.
"My, my... Although I still want to see your cute behavior, it seems time is running out, Yuna-sama. We'd better leave now if we don't want to be late." Kisa reminded the others and put her hand to her cheek.
"Ah, oh, no. Time is pressing. Let's go. We still have ten minutes on location if we go now." Yuna became a little panicked when she looked at the clock. It was twenty minutes before the appointed time.
She subconsciously grabbed Mike's hand, and they went out ahead of the others. The others just followed closely behind while smiling in amusement to look at the two new young couples.
After locking the mansion and activating the security system, all of the core members of the Kisaragi Clan got into a black limousine and immediately left the mansion area.
Mike sat across from the others, three for each side of the seat. Yuna was on his right, and Kisa was on his other side. Since there was still time before they arrived, he decided to gather more information about the primary target that he needed to pay more attention to. "Umm, please give me some details about the annoying man in question. I need some countermeasures to complete this quest."
"Quest? Fufu, you've made this your quest, huh... You really want our Yuna-sama's favor, hmm... Okay, wait a minute." Kisa smiled understandingly, then she showed some information about someone to Mike using her smartphone. "Here."
Mike put his hand on his chin to stare at the screen. He was not very familiar with this sophisticated tool. Still, his focus was only on the information on that tool's screen.
As he read it, the paragraph was cut off. He subconsciously moved his finger to swipe the screen up. To his surprise, the continuation of the information was there. Thus, he read everything to the very end.
"So, his name is Austin Marsh, Marsh is his surname and Austin is his given name. He's not Japanese, huh..." Mike stroked his chin and nodded in understanding.
"Precisely!" Kisa gave a wink and put her smartphone into her handbag.
"It's a powerful tool, Kisa-san. Can you find anyone's data with it? The world is pretty scary right now." Mike had other concerns and interests, given the usefulness of such a tool.
"Oh, no-no, you also need to address me without honorifics since you also apply the same to Yuna-sama." Kisa raised her index finger and wiggled it left and right. Then, she showed her smartphone again. "And, this is my special smartphone. You can't find anyone's detailed information that easily, Mike-sama."
"I see... Then you are a talented and dangerous one. You can find anyone's detailed information easily, err, Kisa." Mike got into a bit of trouble with this sudden change upon request.
"Yeah, I'm quite dangerous and respected. I know a lot of people's secrets, so be careful when you deal with me~" Kisa whispered softly into MIke's ear.
"Uh, well, you make my ears tickle, Kisa. I have nothing to hide. If you already know everything about me, then that's what happens. I have nothing but bad stories to begin with." Mike covered his left ear reflexively.
"Hehe..." Kisa just giggled a little. To be honest, she didn't find much information about MIke. Everything was just incomplete information. The data about Mike was like it was intentionally omitted, or maybe it didn't exist.
"Kisa... Mike is my 'fake' boyfriend now. Please don't keep teasing him." Yuna felt neglected for some reason, and she didn't like it.
"Oh my, the girlfiend is jealous. Mike-sama, please comfort your girlfriend. I'm just a bonus that will help you both~" Kisa replied with a teasing smile to Yuna, but she immediately covered her mouth.
