Chapter 85 : Armadillo

Several minutes had passed.

*Yawn*

Opening his mouth in a sign of boredom, Yuki glanced sideways at Okina. This old man had been talking non-stop. While Yuki agreed that introductions were important, this old man was simply giving a life lesson.

"We, the people of Japan, must lift our heads and stand on our own two feet. Only then can we prevent GHQ from continuing to rule. For a free Japan... CHEERS!"

""CHEERS!""

*Applause, applause.*

Ending his lengthy presentation, Okina raised his wine glass high, quickly followed by the guests. The sound of applause echoed throughout the hall.

Rolling his eyes, Yuki looked at old Okina. He had to admit that, despite the long speech, the old man had very high charisma. Many guests seemed quite pleased with his talk.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to dance."

"Eh?"

[What?]

Waving his hand, Yuki left Gai with his mouth wide open. After all, they were supposed to be on a mission, and Yuki was supposed to accompany Gai to talk to Okina.

But Yuki had other plans.

Shaking his head, Gai sighed.

(I guess the mission depends on me.)

Watching Okina return to his private place accompanied by guards, Gai put on a bitter smile.

In the end, it all depended on him.

---------

"Darling, weren't you on a mission?"

Tsugumi was also surprised. She didn't know why Yuki wanted to dance, but her jealousy flared up.

"Lately, my body has been very stiff, so I thought a little dance would be good for my muscles."

[What's with that pathetic excuse?! Yuki, tell me what you're planning!]

Rolling her eyes at this, Tsugumi didn't buy his excuse.

Stiff body? Good for his muscles?

If that were the case, then in bed, he wouldn't move his hips as if there were no tomorrow.

[Um, relax, Yuki.]

Contrary to Tsugumi, Inori agreed. She thought that Yuki hadn't rested lately, and it was normal for his body to experience other side effects, not to mention the Apocalypse Virus in his body.

So Inori agreed with Yuki.

"Inoreen?! Are you agreeing?!"

Turning her gaze in complete amazement, Tsugumi stared wide-eyed at Inori. After all, Inori was giving her permission for Yuki to be with another woman besides her.

"Um, no problem."

[Do you believe me now? Even Inori agrees.]

"Grrrr~"

Gritting her teeth and growling, Tsugumi was very upset. She didn't understand why Inori was supporting it, but from her experience, she knew that Yuki was a womanizer. She was already sharing him with Inori, so sharing him with another woman wasn't something Tsugumi liked.

However, in the end, she just shrugged and gave up. She was very pensive because she knew Yuki had been very frustrated lately. Although she knew it was her fault, it's not like she had Yuki's monstrous endurance. She looked at Inori again and wondered if Inori also had high endurance.

But she quickly shook her head. Inori's body looked very delicate, so much so that it made Tsugumi worry about the future.

Yuki, on the other hand, didn't know what was going through Tsugumi's mind. He calmly walked toward his goal.

This made several people turn their heads to look at him. With his small body, pretty face, and peculiar aura, Yuki stood out in the hall.

He was like a swan among chickens; he simply was very different from everyone in that hall.

"Beautiful lady, would you grant me a dance?" Bowing elegantly, Yuki took Arisa's hand and kissed it like a gentleman.

"Oh... Yes... Of course."

Responding with some nervousness, Arisa blushed a bit. She looked at the cute boy in front of her and had to admit that if he were a few years older, this boy would be an excellent lady-killer. She couldn't help but think that if he were a bit older, this boy would be exactly her type.

Although she was also a bit curious. Yuki's age was very young from his appearance, so attending this party was not normal. But looking at the young men gathered around her, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use this boy to avoid those annoying rich youths.

"Tch." However, the small group of suitors clicked their tongues, knowing that, due to the boy's age and appearance, it was very easy for him to dance with any woman in this hall. Arisa was proof; they had been trying to invite her, but now this boy came out of nowhere and took the first dance.

Yuki, however, didn't care about any of that. He pulled Arisa out of that group of interested young men to the dance floor.

Arisa was a big fish, so big that Yuki wouldn't let her go tonight.

So, taking Arisa by the waist, Yuki pulled her body against his, taking a dance pose.

"Hm?" Arisa, however, was surprised. She was a bit nervous, and now this boy pulled her forcefully, making Arisa surprised by his strength and bold move.

"Hello, big sister... Tell me, do you like armadillos?"

Smiling sweetly, Yuki looked into Arisa's eyes. She, on the other hand, felt a tremor in her gaze. Something inside her felt fear, but she couldn't break free from the boy in front of her.

And for a moment, seeing his smile, Arisa began to regret accepting his invitation. Entangling herself with this boy might be a bad idea. But, not giving her any other option, Yuki started moving to the rhythm of the music.

--------

Gai, who watched Yuki dance with Arisa, didn't know what to think.

He saw how Yuki was clearly pressing his body against Arisa very intimately, as if they were lovers.

Gai didn't know what Yuki was planning, but still had to praise him. Making a move against Okina Kuhouin's granddaughter requires a lot of courage. However, Gai knew that it was just a show for Yuki. After all, Yuki could sink this ship if he wanted to.

But this left many options for Gai. Looking at it from another perspective, Yuki now had a hostage he could use to negotiate if things went wrong.

So with a smile, Gai took a tray with several glasses of wine, heading toward where Okina was. The negotiations had to begin, but there were no problems; the night was still young.
