At this thought, Shiroko felt a slight stir in his heart.
'This na sounds sowhat familiar!'
"That's right! Do you think we should go?"
Propping herself up on her snow-white arms, her long purple hair cascading down like a waterfall, Mitsuko looked at him with a questioning expression on her stunning face.
Reaching out to catch a lock of her hair and gently rubbing it between his fingers, a smile slowly ford on Shiroko's lips. "Let's go! Since they are being so welcoming, it wouldn't be polite to refuse, would it?"
In his predecessor's mories, the Sugimoto family had never invited him to anything before.
Even during the period following the death of his predecessor's parents, the cooperation between the two major groups had practically ground to a halt.
Yet now, they were extending such a warm invitation.
It was obvious that upon seeing the Hanyu Group growing powerful once again, they wanted to take the opportunity to nd their relationship, perhaps even taking their business cooperation a step further.
To this, Shiroko naturally had no objections.
After all, there were no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.
Furthermore, if their granddaughter was truly who he thought she was...
"Then I'll make the arrangents. We'll depart for Kanna City the day after tomorrow."
"Alright!"
Nodding with a faint smile, Shiroko's right hand slowly moved from her hair down to her waist.
In an instant, a hint of panic flashed through Mitsuko's eyes. 'Is this bad boy going to...'
Fortunately, her fears were unfounded. Wrapping his arm around her soft waist, Shiroko gently whispered, "Let's sleep," before slowly closing his eyes.
Gazing at his handso face and peaceful sleeping posture, Mitsuko's eyes slowly curved into happy crescents.
The next morning, after the usual wake-up routine, Shiroko tidied up and drove to Seifu Academy.
As for Mitsuko, she headed to the company to delegate her tasks.
After all, the two of them were heading to Kanna City tomorrow, so she had to handle everything before leaving.
At Seifu Academy, upon seeing Shiroko arrive, Marina's pure and stunningly beautiful face filled with joy.
But imdiately after, that joy transford into a faint pout. "Yuichi hasn't been here for two whole days."
What should one do when their little girlfriend is unhappy?
Professor Shiroko's masterclass was now in session!
A few minutes later, through smooth talking and a myriad of subtle little touches, he successfully smoothed over his little girlfriend's grievances.
Nestled in Shiroko's arms, the girl's cheeks were flushed red. She exhaled softly, her light purple eyes shimring with a watery gleam.
With a voice as soft as a whisper, she gently complained, "Yuichi only knows how to bully Marina."
"I can't help it. Who told Marina to be so cute? It makes unable to resist wanting to bully you."
While the two were whispering sweet nothings to each other, Mikami Yuka watched from a short distance away, her eyes flashing with anticipation. They could conduct another transaction tonight.
After a period of sweet affection, Shiroko told her about his upcoming departure the next day.
"Is Yuichi going to Kanna City tomorrow?"
"That's right! The Sugimoto Group in Kanna City sent us an invitation yesterday, inviting us to attend their chairman's granddaughter's eighteenth birthday."
"The chairman's granddaughter... she must be very beautiful."
"I only saw her once when I was very young. Who knows what she looks like now? Maybe she's built like a brick house, or shaped like a propane tank for all I know."
"Pfft."
Hearing this, Marina couldn't help but chuckle.
Realizing her slip, she hurriedly covered her cherry lips. She glanced around, and upon seeing that no one was paying attention, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, her eyes curved into a smile. "Yuichi is so an. She is a chairman's granddaughter, how could she... how could she possibly look like a propane tank!"
"You never know. So what if she's a chairman's granddaughter? Wealth doesn't guarantee good looks."
...
Amidst their cheerful banter, the ti slowly reached noon.
During the lunch break, Shiroko once again brought Marina to their secret base. Now that her ti of the month had passed, they could finally...
A mont later, upon seeing Marina dressed in a red and white maid outfit, Shiroko used his physical actions to thoroughly express his affection for her.
In the evening, accompanied by the ringing of the school bell, the boys and girls poured out of the academy like birds freed from a cage.
After seeing the three girls off to their hos, Shiroko drove to the villa.
As for why? Naturally, it was because his business partner had previously proposed to conduct another transaction.
Just as he walked through the door, the little munchkin threw her arms wide and bounded toward him with cheerful steps. "Big brother!"
Bending down to catch her in a hug, he affectionately rubbed her little head. Shiroko then shifted his gaze to the beautiful woman standing not far away, a silent understanding passing between them.
As the moon rose high into the night sky, its bright, silvery light spilled into the bedroom, illuminating Shiroko's peaceful face.
Embracing the exquisite, soft beauty in his arms, a wave of drowsiness washed over him. He let out a yawn and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next day, realizing he was already running late, Shiroko had no choice but to give the beautiful madam a quick phone call to soothe her.
Kanna City was located to the west of Mihara City, with a straight-line distance of about three hundred kiloters. Driving would take several hours at the very least.
But who was Shiroko? He was the dignified young chairman of the Hanyu Group. Wouldn't driving to the birthday banquet of a peer of equal standing be far too unclassy?
Taking this into consideration, Mitsuko had generously waved her hand and chartered a small private business jet for the trip.
An hour later, Shiroko officially stepped onto the soil of Kanna City.
The mont he stepped off the plane, he spotted a vigorous elderly man striding briskly toward them, flanked by a group of bodyguards in black suits.
His wrinkled, aged face was scrunched up in a smile that resembled a blooming chrysanthemum.
Stopping in front of the pair, the elderly man imdiately offered an enthusiastic greeting. "Chairman Iwasaki, I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival. And this must be Yuichi. It's been a few years, and he's already grown into such a fine young man..."
Looking at the elderly man, Mitsuko offered a polite, professional smile and gave a slight nod. "Chairman Sugimoto!"
In contrast, Shiroko appeared much more "sincere" as he greeted, "Uncle Sugimoto!"
Being called 'uncle', the elderly man's face imdiately stiffened.
But recovering quickly, he offered a faint smile and nodded. "Good! Very good!"
While exchanging pleasantries, Shiroko casually cast an Eye of Investigation on him:
Na: Sugimoto Ichiro Age: 72 Personality: Scheming and calculating Skills: Business Mastery Favorability: 20 Overall Strength: Tier 1 Lower Stage Recent Thoughts: 'This kid is quite handso, he might actually be a good match for Shoko...'
Reading his inner thoughts, Shiroko slightly raised an eyebrow.
'He actually wants to play matchmaker. But let's get one thing straight—if your granddaughter looks anything like you, you can kill that thought right now!'
Sugimoto Shoko: ....
