Chapter 1017 Picking up Miho

For the next half hour or so, Miss Manager made a few calls, arranging the people involved in the production of Yue’s new song. While she was doing that, Yue and I watched from the side as the girl explained to the ignorant me the arduous process that they were going to do to produce it for commercial release.

Well, I asked her about it. I, at least, want to be aware of the inner workings of the industry Yue belonged to.

Once she was done with the call, Miss Manager faced us again, her expression a little complicated. Most likely, she’s finding it hard to suddenly appear so enthusiastic after she attempted to oppose our relationship.

To get her out of that state, Yue naturally made a move, calming her down. Naturally, I didn’t expect Miss Manager to flip what she thought of me because of it. Because in the end, it’s still Yue who wrote and created it.

In any case, during the last hour before I left, her hostile gaze mellowed out, making it possible for Yue and I to savor the time while planning our future plans.

Even though it was already deep in the night when I left Yue’s condominium unit, my feet still didn’t lead me back home.

It’s Tuesday night and earlier this morning, Miho already asked me to pick her up. She’s going to stay with us until Friday while her parents are away.

She didn’t inform them about her plans. I mean, they’re not even aware that Miho is in a relationship with someone. Even back then, they’re not aware that she got into a relationship and… got stolen by someone else.

Anyway, from what I heard from her, she did make an excuse that if she’s going to be alone with their housekeeper, she told them that she’s going to stay with a friend.

Obviously, the friend she mentioned is none other than Akane. The silly girl is now the convenient excuse for the girls if they want to stay overnight.

Just recently, Aoi and Ria made use of that and they were never questioned.

Of course, the limitation is to only use it once in a while, or else, their parents would be suspicious or they’d just straight up reject them.

In the future, I expect others will also use that excuse. Elizabeth already planned to do so two weeks ago but given that her parents became strict with her after that day they found me in her room, she failed at gaining their permission.

At the very least, they still allowed Yukari for a sleepover that night before I visited their house in the morning.

Anyway, I soon arrived at the area where Miho’s house was located. The same as back then, before entering the street, I passed by the studio where she’s always practicing before. The place where I first met her.

Since it was already deep in the night, the studio as well as the surrounding houses or establishments was already silent. Nonetheless, I couldn’t help but stop for a bit in front of it.

Somehow, my mind took me back to that day.

I was also only passing by when suddenly I stopped and my head turned to the direction where a soothing melody was playing. Since the interior was built soundproofed, it was actually faint but it successfully drew me in.

I only tried following the sound back then. However, before I knew it, my gaze landed on Miho through the clear windows.

That day, I remembered that she was alone yet I waited for her outside not knowing why I did that. Furthermore, I only found out that she is in a relationship the day after that.

Back then, she only gave me a passing glance and showed a dismissive attitude before walking in the direction of her house.

Miho thought that the first time we met was at the school. Only after successfully tearing down her prideful self and stealing her for myself did the girl vaguely remember someone spying on her during one of her piano practices at the studio.

Not that I thought about this, I was probably already captivated by her since the first time I met her. It’s only my desire that prevented me from instantly recognizing her as someone I’m interested in…

“Mhm… Being here at this place again sure takes me back.” I muttered to myself before continuing on my steps.

Surely, my mood improved once again as I traversed the few dozen steps before arriving in front of the Nishioka Household.

“Ruki!”

Without needing to call her. The girl that I was just thinking about elegantly emerged from the smaller entrance to their large house or mansion?

She elegantly walked toward me while beaming a very charming smile that was further accentuated by her short red dress. Well, she’s wearing a thick coat on top of it to protect herself from the cold of the night.

Before receiving her, I checked our surroundings and made sure that no one else was present at the moment.

Even though this was supposed to be a rich neighborhood where their houses were at least two times bigger than ours, there’s still a possibility that a neighbor might tattle about her being picked up by me to her parents. It’s better to make sure that we’d have great days ahead of us.

Once I deemed it clear, I also started approaching the girl and received her in my arms, lifting her in the process as though we were a couple who hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

Miho liked it a lot that the cold gathered by waiting outside quickly warmed up. Moreover, our lips naturally pressed against each other, sharing a deep, intimate kiss.

After savoring that for a few minutes, the two of us were out of breath as she guided me to the entrance where she emerged from.

Their gate was huge and probably intended as a vehicle entrance to their spacious front yard.

“Miho, we’re taking the train. We can’t carry all of this…” I said as soon as I saw two suitcases and two boxes; one square and one tall, rectangular-shaped, placed just a few steps from that entrance.

I could understand the two suitcases… it’s probably filled with her clothes and other things essential for her three days, three nights' stay in our house. But those boxes… what’s in them?

“Hmm? Who said we’re taking the train? Someone will drive us to your house.” Miho answered instantly as she strode forward and pulled on my hand, leading me further inside their yard and into the main entrance of their house.

Before the door, someone was standing subserviently there…

A woman in a housekeeper uniform.

“My lady, is this the friend that will pick you? My apologies but I thought Akane is a girl…” The woman bowed at the girl before looking at me with a confused expression.

Of course, I’m not Akane…

Uh… Now I understand why Miho brought me in. The one who will drive us is this woman…

She never planned on making this a secret at all. Or, she’s confident that the woman in front of us would keep the secret for her. Either of the two, I hadn’t anticipated any of it at all.

Responding to the woman, Miho first looked at me as a proud smile bloomed on her lips before introducing me to the woman, “Vivian, this is Ruki, my boyfriend… The truth is… I lied to mom and dad.”
