Chereads / One Fated Person / Chapter 7 - The Living Together

Chapter 7 - The Living Together

His skin is white and smooth. His body, which had been covered in long-sleeved clothes, turned out to be muscular and muscular, showing how hard he trained. A glimpse of the way he cooks until he serves the food looks very skillful. His polite manner of speaking even though it looks awkward, maybe this man is a genius!!!

There's no doubt that he can become the heir to the company, but why is he being targeted by assassins?

....

The scar on his stomach looks painful, but he has remained silent all this time hiding the wound, he is great at enduring the pain.

If it was me, I would probably burst into tears.

I feel as though I can understand this person.

****

After wiping it, he got up from this little chair and rushed out of the bathroom.

"Um..."

"What wrong?"

"About my clothes-"

"Oh, your dirty clothes, please put them in the washing machine!"

"Are you going to wash my clothes?"

"Yes." I'll wash it.

"Along with my panties?"

DEG!!

I was silent when I was about to answer.

That's right!? The former protector of the forbidden area that is not allowed to be touched by others unless we are husband and wife, how do I answer it to refuse it?

"...." I couldn't answer him. If I rejected him would seem like I didn't want to-

"Ayami?"

I stuttered as I answered, "That's..."

"Okay, I'll put it all in the washing machine."

"Eh!?"

She put all the clothes she was wearing in the washing machine.

"...?" He looked at me in surprise.

My face reddened at the thought of washing it off.

He approached me, I immediately looked the other way.

I rushed into the bathroom and-

Because the floor is very slippery "HUUUUUWAAAAAAAAAA!!" I slipped, I screamed until I heard him.

But...

He took my hand, then he managed to grab my body and head with both hands.

For the umpteenth time, I came into contact with him, I fell into his lap with my face very red, and he looked at me with a worried face. His face is getting closer, he slowly wakes me up while holding my hand tightly so I don't fall again.

We both stood up and looked at each other again.

He released this hand grip then he grabbed my shoulder with his left hand, while his right hand held my forehead. "Your face is very red, do you have a fever?"

"Hmm," she also holds her forehead.

"Why doesn't it feel hot?" he muttered.

"Aaaah~ it's okay, I don't have a fever."

"O-oh," Then he let go of his left hand that was on my right shoulder and turned the other way while scratching the back of his head.

("Maybe she's tired" Fuyuki thought)

"I only-"

"Okay, I'll wash it myself later." He answered with no expression on his face at all.

"Ah, yes, fine. Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for helping me." My face was still red when I saw him turn to me.

"O-oh, you're welcome." He walked with a very flat face.

****

He goes to the room to change clothes, while I take a shower and don't forget to brush my teeth...

I wash my hands with fragrant shampoo, thinking "What about when I face him?" His handsome face that I've seen many times, his straightforward and very cool, made me blush a lot when I looked back at him.

My face gets red so easily.

I really can't face a man!!!

....

He stepped into the washing machine that was near my bathroom while I was still lingering in the bathroom.

He took a sip of detergent and put the water in the bucket into the washing machine.

He washed it himself.

AAAAAAAH!! I feel guilty...

"Hey Ayami..." he called me.

"Yes?" I replied while waving the water through my hair, rinsing off the shampoo.

"Is this your original home? Where is your family? Have you been living alone all this time?"

"Yes, this is my house. I went to Abeno to wander, then bought this house with my hard-earned savings. My family is in Higashiyodogawa. So, I live here alone."

"Hmm, I see."

....

I slowly came out of the bathroom in a towel and dried my hair, while he washed the clothes and dried them.

"Where can I hang it out? At least it can dry and I can put it back on soon." (especially panties) *Currently Fuyuki is not wearing panties.

how could I offer my panties to wear!?

"O-oh on the other side of the balcony." Even though it's cold in winter, you can at least get a little bit of sun. "You can open the curtain then, take this hanger to dry your clothes, and hang it there. (I'm showing the direction).

*Drying inside*

"Okay." The answer was short while carrying the bucket and hanger to the window near the balcony.

****

I immediately went to my room and changed clothes.

I'm looking for clothes that fit this winter.

Not long after I finished changing clothes suddenly he opened the door to my room.

"Ayami..."

I turned around in shock and embarrassment "KYAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" My back is exposed! I'm also not wearing a bra. Thank God, I turned my back on him.

He hastily closed it.

"FORGIVE ME!!" he shouted in such a loud voice.

"At least knock on the door, please!!"

"I DON'T KNOW! FORGIVE ME!" With his voice harsh at the door and full of regret. He paused near the bedroom door.

Then he started the conversation "S-so, can I borrow your cellphone charger?"

"Yes, okay. Wait a minute I'm looking for him.

"Please Quickly!"

"You're borrowing a laptop?"

"So, that's what I've been waiting for."

"Sorry, it takes a long time ..."

"Ah yes, it's okay."

"...."

"If you haven't finished, please continue, I'll wait in that room (upstairs)."

"Okay."

****

Ouch! How is it... I'm embarrassed to meet him face to face?

I opened the door and ventured into the upstairs room.

This is my own house, why should I be ashamed of people who hitchhike!?

But we live together...

When I think about it, he is innocent and honest.

I saw him sitting relaxed on the sofa.

I stepped closer to him and handed the charger and my laptop to the table in front of where he sat.

"This."

"Okay thank you."

"Yes."

Thank goodness the charger fits.

"Oh yeah, where should I plug it in?"

"Do you need a connecting cable?"

"O-oh, that's fine."

"Wait a minute I'll take it!"

I took the connecting cable from the small cupboard in my room.

While on holiday, I bring a game to play on my LED TV.

*While testing the gacha ability I just got from last night's event.

....

Then give it to him.

I plugged the connecting cable into near the television.

He started his work by opening a laptop.

Then he put the tablet near him.

"iPad?"

"Yes."

"When did you bring him?"

"E-er, yesterday. I always carry my phone and tablet with me when I work." He carried it inside the coat he was wearing.

"Oooh~ I see."

"Yeah, yesterday I accidentally left my tablet on the chair here, luckily I didn't lose it."

"Ah, how could it be lost, right here there are only the two of us."

What!? The two of us, I said something as romantic as this.

"Hehe." He replied with her innocent smile.

....

Jiiiiiii-

He turned to me who was staring at him. "Does the keyboard still work?"

"Yes, it's still working fine," I said optimistically.

Jiiiiiii-

I'm curious about his job.

He turned to me again.

"Excuse me..."

"Yes?" I answered quickly.

"Does this have an internet connection?"

"Yes, I have it."

"Turn it on please!"

"Oh, it's directly connected to my laptop."

"Oh, I see. All right." He looked back at his laptop waiting for loading to finish heading to windows.

Jiiiiiii-

"Excuse me..." He turned back to me

Seems like he doesn't like being stared at by me all the time.

"Yes?" I answered quickly with a bit of a questioning tone.

"I wonder what package is in that big crackle?" he asked, pointing to the parcel that had been on the chair since yesterday.

"Oh, it's a gift from my friend (I'm too embarrassed to say that Akane-san is my master)."

"Eeeeh, that is from a friend, huh?" Hmm, definitely a boyfriend! He thought as he looked at me coquettishly.

"You want?" I offered while teasing him a little.

"Sure, if you allow it."

"I'll get it for you." I went to the big crackle and immediately took out the cakes that were there.

I was taking the cake out of the crackle bag by saying the names of the cakes, but he ignored me.

He turned out to be so intently staring at the computer screen that he heard the sound of typing so fast.

He tapped it skillfully, his fingers dancing on the keyboard.

'CTEEEK! CTEEEK! CTEEEK! CTEEEK! CTEEEK!'

I was so fast that I could only stare at him in amazement that I forgot to play the game I brought with me earlier.

'Shhh!' he glanced at me then back at the laptop screen, then his fingers stopped typing for a moment. He sighed, then turned to look at me, "What's wrong?"

"That's great" I was dumbfounded to see his admiration reflexively spit those words out of my mouth.

"...?" He looked at me in surprise.

(Could he know that I'm curious about his work)

"You want to see my work?" His face was uncomfortable.

"A-ah, sorry if I seem to bother you." I looked down and looked away because I felt wrong.

"It's fine. Please sit next to me. I'm not very private either."

"...." I immediately approached him with a box of cake and opened it.

He showed me his work and explained it to me.

"I'm currently looking for an analyst to work with to help this company. Look!" he shows a red graph on the selling limits of his shares)

"This company previously approached a crisis in the middle of the month, that was after my father died. suddenly asked to replace father's current position, I have to return this" he shows where the red chart his stock sales are rising towards the green, although not by much.

"Ooooh~"

"Yeah, I just rushed to trade 10 lots before closing. That's why I need media as soon as possible." Today, December 25, 2011, at 11.30

The stock market closes at 12.00

For international or worldwide stock markets, simultaneously on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday off).

"What if you trade afternoon?"

"Yes, of course, I lost my trade."

"If you trade in the morning?"

"Um, luckily more and more."

"So that one just got a little bit of luck?"

"More or less."

I felt a little gulity, "You should have told me from the start that you were going to trade stocks on my laptop."

"Well, you're still sleeping so soundly, so I didn't dare wake you up."

HAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

For a moment I put on a stiff face.

"Sorry-"

"What for?"

"For all."

"Eh?"

"You're weird!"

Our faces were full of squabbling, "Yeah because I've abandoned some of your Yen."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Take it easy, I'm grateful to you."

"Eh, how come?"

He said as he continued his work, "Yes, because you have taken care of me." He glanced at me with a fake smile.

I know he must be tough!

"Please don't lie."

"Okay I'm not lying, but I thank you that you didn't call an ambulance or the police or the hospital."

"Why?" Is there any particular reason?

"I'm still traumatized by being in the hospital, maybe if I was treated there, I wouldn't be able to play stocks like this."

"Eeeeh! I see." His love of playing stocks is his hardest job, just like my love of playing games and fighting in tournaments and events to get gacha. Somehow I feel this time can be relied on by others. It seems that I feel happy while living with him...

"Somehow I feel happy when I live with you."

Eh!? What!? Did he just hear my heart?

"Huh?"

"Aaah, it's not like that. I mean I feel grateful that someone would help me."

"O-of course, I don't like seeing people get hurt."

He smiled in relief.

"Thank you, you are very kind. If you don't let me stay here for a while, maybe I will suffer the same fate as my father and in the end, this company will decline."

I was wondering because I was curious about the words "Decline? Falldown maybe?"

"...."

"If this company declines, what will happen next? Can it not be built again?"

"Will be in expert function." He answered with a tense face

"Expert function?"

"Yeah, you could say food for the rest of the family to be exact."

"Uh, what can it be?"

"Of course, I can." He said it seriously, "Someone in my family has been eyeing this company for a long time."

....

"He is..."
