"Why did it feel like Yume going to the infirmary was quite similar to Akatsuki before?" Reina asked in confusion as she felt that the way Yume went to the infirmary before the class was like Akatsuki.
Mizuto decided to ignore Reina and continued to read his book, but he could feel a piercing gaze from Akatsuki.
Still, Akatsuki could only let out a helpless sigh and then stayed quiet. Nothing had changed after all. If there was a difference, Yume had become a woman, and she also had accepted everything.
"Hey, Mizuto!"
"What's wrong?"
"Can you not ignore me?" Reina pouted.
Mizuto was helpless and casually made an excuse. "Well, Yume was just exhausted from studying too much last night. You know that she often forced herself, right?"
"Yeah, after all, she was studying with you, right?"
Mizuto's lips twitched when he heard Akatsuki's words.
Akatsuki then moved closer and whispered, "Can you come to my house tomorrow?" Still, from the corner of her eyes, while she didn't see hickeys, she could see several bite marks on his left shoulder. They were deep, and a trace of blood seemed to remain, which made her speechless by how aggressive Yume was.
"Tomorrow?" Mizuto felt strange by Akatsuki's request since it wouldn't be more reasonable for her to ask him to accompany her today instead of tomorrow. Still, his body quickly became tense when her small hand reached onto his nether region and rubbed it softly. He turned and saw her expression was that of a woman who tried to seduce her loved one.
"It's her first time after all, and I know that she needs you the most, like me before, so comfort me tomorrow, okay? Or..." Akatsuki blew hot air into his ear and whispered, "You want to comfort me now?"
"Let's do it tomorrow."
His answer was calm as he pushed her slightly.
Watching how calm and firm his answer was, Akatsuki sighed helplessly, thinking that his will was as firm as his erection.
Still, Reina, who was so close to them, might not notice Akatsuki's sneaky action as Akatsuki used her petite frame to her advantage, but she knew that sometimes, she was being left out somehow. It was like they had done something that she didn't know, and due to this, she was outside of the circle. Moreover, she noticed the eyes of Akatsuki were quite different when Akatsuki stared into Mizuto.
It was like—
"Are we still going to stay at your house for the study group on Friday?" Reina suddenly asked.
"Can you come?"
"I can." Reina nodded. "I have talked with my parents." Or rather, her parents agreed without hesitation, especially when they learned she wished to have a study group with her friends.
As expected, her parents were worried that she might not have a friend since no one from her middle school came to this school except for Oumae Kumiko.
However, the relationship between Reina and Kumiko wasn't so close at this moment, especially when the training of the concert band club hadn't started their activity seriously. Along with Kumiko's indecisive and awkward character, it was hard for her to approach Reina.
Even so, it didn't matter since Reina had become closer to Mizuto, Yume, and Akatsuki.
"My father should send me to your house later."
"...should I hide?"
Mizuto was speechless since he hadn't expected Reina to bring her father.
"...is that okay?"
While Akatsuki laughed, Mizuto was helpless. "You can ask Yume to welcome you later."
"Sorry." Reina apologized awkwardly since she knew that the reason why she could go on this study group was that she told her parents that it was Yume's house, one of the best students among the new students, but if she told them that Mizuto was also living in that house, it might be hard for them to give her permission, especially when she how overprotective her father was.
"By the way, I know that it is a bit early, but do you have a plan for the Golden Week?" Akatsuki asked curiously. If there was something that she liked about Mizuto, it was how he would never break his promise. He might be a womanizer, but she could believe in him. Frankly, she wasn't sure how their relationship would be in the future, but for one thing, even if Yume left him in the future due to what he had done, she wouldn't leave him, so at this moment, she wanted to take advantage of Yume's absence to make him promise to go out during Golden Week.
"I don't have much of a plan. I will probably stay at home, training to get better with my trumpet."
Hearing Reina's answer, Mizuto knew that Akatsuki asked this question for him, but he knew that with this girl's mastery over psychology, it was impossible for her to miss Reina and only ask him as it would make people feel suspicious of their relationship. It might also be due to this reason that he was completely calm having her as his secret lover.
Still, hearing Reina's answer, he couldn't help but glance at Reina's lips. Even though many would say that her most charming part is her breasts, that's probably the biggest in their class if one didn't count Nami, he would say differently since he thought that her most charming part would be her lips, had been trained to blow a trumpet from her childhood.
While he was in a daze due to his chaotic thought, he quickly erased this thought since Akatsuki was staring at him. As a lover, there was no doubt that he could trust her, but at the same time, he had to say that his heart often skipped when her eyes gazed over him. Still letting out a helpless sigh, he said, "I plan to go to Osaka for a few days."
"Osaka!" 2x
"Why did you go there?" Reina frowned.
Was it a job? Akatsuki thought, but she didn't open her lips to ask this question since she knew that she could ask him later.
Still, watching Reina's reaction, Mizuto thought that the relationship between the Kyoto people and the Osaka people was really as bad as ever, which made him speechless.
The Kyoto people thought Osaka was rude, but Osaka thought of Kyoto as old-fashioned.
Mizuto didn't care about those things and only wished to focus on his business. "You know that I have bought a motorcycle. I thought about riding it to Osaka."
"...alone?"
"Alone."
"....."
How to say... even though his appearance was like that intellectual man who spent his time in an elegant way, such as reading a book, whether Reina or Akatsuki felt that this guy was quite wild.
"Is that okay? Isn't it dangerous?" Reina asked with a frown.
"Are you my parents?" Mizuto rolled his eyes.
Reina blushed and complained. "I am just worried about you!"
"Thanks, but it is a rare chance, and I want to try to do such a thing when I am still young."
Golden Week was a rare holiday for everyone in this country, and naturally, he wished to spend it well, learning about the real estate business in Osaka, the second-best city in this country.
The real estate business in Kyoto was good and all, but it lacked an impact as most of the buildings were traditional buildings, either temples or shrines, which made him speechless.
However, in Osaka, Mizuto was sure that he would be able to see many things, from high-rise buildings to a theme park, ports, airports, and many other things!
Mizuto was excited about this trip to Osaka!
Still, watching Akatsuki's forced smile, he felt a little helpless, but then he thought for a moment and said, "Say, do you want to go on a trip with me?"
Reina and Akatsuki were surprised.
"Do you want us to go with you to Osaka?"
"Is that okay?"
While Reina was surprised by Mizuto's invitation, Akatsuki wondered whether it was okay for them to join since she knew that he hadn't come to Osaka to play.
"No, no. Not Osaka."
"Then?"
"Ise-Shima. Do you want to go there?"
"...Ise-Shima?" 2x
