*Ring*
*Ring*
Suddenly, Agari's chest started vibrating, which made her blush. With a somewhat embarrassed expression, she took out her phone, which was ringing loudly.
However, upon seeing the type of number that had called, she quickly adjusted her breathing, and her aura changed.
Agari: "Good afternoon, you've reached the acting secretary of Tadano Hitohito. How may I help you?"
"…"
Agari: "I see… Alright… understood, we'll arrive at the location in… one to two hours… Yes, Tadano-sama will go in person… Okay, goodbye."
From start to finish, Agari maintained a serious, professional tone worthy of her position.
Agari and Yamai are my secretaries on paper and are also part of the upper management of Strawberry Productions. Since I currently want to remain hidden, very few people know my identity as the president of Strawberry Productions, and most of the managerial work is done by Agari and Yamai. As such, both have dual SIM phones—one for their secretarial duties, used by those who need to deal directly with me, and another for managerial tasks, used to communicate with future business partners for the company.
"I wonder who could have called her. The only one I know who could do that would be Kaguya, but she wouldn't talk to Agari; she'd contact me directly," Tadano thought to himself.
Tadano: "So, who was it?" he asked curiously as he stirred his tea.
Agari: "Master, it was from the management of Fujikawa Shoten. They informed us that the paperwork is ready, and they need your presence for the signing…" she said, still in business mode.
Thinking about something, a mischievous smile formed on the young man's face as he looked at the green-haired girl with amused eyes.
Seeing the expression on Tadano's face, Agari felt a bit embarrassed and hesitantly asked.
Agari: "Did I do something to upset you?" she asked doubtfully.
Tadano: "Hmm… I wonder why you said exactly two hours. If I remember correctly, that publishing house isn't far from Gongon…" he said while taking a sip of his tea.
Agari: "Ah! Well… I… Hmmf…"
*kiss*
*slurp*
Wiping off the excess saliva with his thumb, Tadano looked at the blushing red-haired beauty in front of him

Tadano: "If you wanted to spend a little more time having fun with me, you could have just said so, you know?" he teased.
Agari: "Uuuu…" The girl didn't dare look at the young man, feeling very embarrassed.
In an almost imperceptible voice, she said, "I just wanted to continue our date a little longer…" She spoke with a shy and dreamy expression, her cheeks flushed, those tempting cherry lips, and that stunning figure—all of it combined to create an image that would make anyone's heart race.
Tadano's face turned red, and a fierce flame ignited within him. He wanted nothing more than to take this sweet girl and shower her with all kinds of affection.
Quickly, he called for Kaho, who had been serving them, and paid the bill with his card.
Unable to contain himself any longer, he took the girl's hand and left the café. He didn't notice that a pair of eyes followed him from start to finish until he disappeared into the distance.
…
Kaho, who had finished clearing the table, lamented that the handsome guy had left so quickly. As she carried the dishes away, she saw her Senpai, Mafuyu, staring out of the shop.
After thinking for a bit, she put on a playful expression and quietly approached her.
Mafuyu, lost in her thoughts, didn't notice Kaho's actions.
Kaho: "No matter how much you stare, I don't think he'll come back anytime soon…" she teased.
Mafuyu: "Kya!" The small girl was startled and jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Kaho: "Hehe, who would have thought Mafuyu-Senpai would find her prince charming today…" she said, highly amused.
Mafuyu rolled her eyes at the teasing from this big-breasted girl.
Mafuyu: "I don't know what you're talking about, Kaho. I was just checking to see if any of my regular customers were approaching…" she said in her characteristic indifferent tone, not showing any apparent flaw.
Kaho: "Hmmm… Well, if Mafuyu-Senpai says so, I'll believe it. Although, it's a shame; that guy was really handsome… well, at least he left a generous tip. With this, I can have a good time at the arcade," she said with bright eyes, showing Mafuyu a 5000 yen bill.
*WOSH*
In an agile movement, the bill had disappeared in an instant.
Mafuyu: "Remember that all tips are pooled together and distributed among everyone…" she said as she pocketed the bill and walked away.
Kaho: "Eh? Come on, Senpai, you can let it slide just this once!" she pleaded as she chased after her small Senpai.
…
Some time later…
In a Love Hotel...
A pink atmosphere was in full swing, the Fairy's bewitching voice echoed in the room.
At the same time the bed squeaks gave evidence of her act.
Clothes were scattered all over the floor, not far away on the bed 2 figures were entwined with each other like a pair of excited snakes.
The girl's eyes had turned into a pair of pink hearts as she became a seasoned rider.
The young man's eyes were misty as the girl bounced up and down on him.
His heart felt guilty but the flame only grew brighter and brighter with each bounce of the young girl on him.
...
Once the battle was over, the couple decided to take a bath.
Resting his chin on the girl's head, the young man sighed guiltily and spoke.
Tadano: "I guess I'm too impulsive... I'm sorry for this, Himiko," he said as he tightened his embrace around the young woman.
Agari: "Eh? Why are you apologizing, Mast... I mean, Hitohito-Kun?" she asked with concern.
Tadano: "You know, this was supposed to be a date as a reward for all your good deeds, and I planned to take you to all sorts of places. But look at me now. I couldn't control my impulses and ended up dragging you to a place like this. And after this, we have to attend to work matters. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one hurting you and..." His self-deprecating speech was cut off by the soft lips that met his.
With a sweet smile, the green-haired girl looked at him lovingly. Placing one of her gentle hands on his cheek and caressing it tenderly, she began to speak.
Agari: "Hehe, even you can have your moments…" she said, somewhat amused.
Tadano: "I..." The young man wanted to respond, but a delicate jade-like finger silenced him.
Agari: "You haven't hurt me, you know? Quite the opposite, I've had a great time…" she said as she turned around to face him.
Agari: "You know, I never had much confidence in myself... and even now, I struggle with it. I never saw myself as someone pretty or attractive... I always thought someone like me was just unpleasant to others…" she said with a sad tone.
Agari: "But all that changed when I met you... Not only did you help me become friends with the most popular person in school, but you also took care of me, pushed aside all my insecurities, and made me feel like your special person…" she said happily as she rested on the young man's broad chest.
Agari: "You know? I may not be the bravest person, but if you're by my side, I feel like I can achieve anything…" she said while tracing her fingers over his chest.
Agari: "You're really important to me… So, no! You haven't hurt me. And even if you had, I wouldn't mind; I owe you so much that I don't know if I could repay it in this lifetime. So don't blame yourself. There's nothing better for me than spending time with you. I really love you, Tadano Hitohito ♡～" she said as she placed both hands on his shoulders and looked him straight in the eyes.
Tadano was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. It was so overwhelming that even the voices in his head fell silent.
Tadano: "Heh, I never thought you could be so romantic, Himiko… You really moved me. I didn't think I was this important in your life," he said lovingly before proceeding to hug the charming girl tightly.
Agari: "Hehe, sorry if I'm not acting like myself... It's just that I don't like seeing you blame yourself because of me. I prefer your usual self… and I won't deny that I was kind of hoping for something like this too…" she said, the last part in a very soft voice.
Tadano: "Himiko!!!"
Agari: "AH!"
Tadano couldn't hold back anymore, this girl was too cute.
Author's Note: "Well, here's a chapter, a bit late, but better than nothing. Those who recognize the anime the café is from are true men of culture, hehe. That said, remember to drink plenty of water, and I love you all. Sincerely, your favorite depressed author.""
