Sleep tight and rest well

"Nikko?" 

After talking about the design with his father and older brother, Ishigami didn't just end his new figurine type of design with just a mere drawing but talked about the detailed ways of the figurines, patents, marketing, and many others. 

All of them wanted to sell this Nendroid as soon as possible so their company could grow bigger as soon as possible. 

Naturally, Ishigami also added "Figma" so that way, his family's company could become like the company in his previous life. 

Still, he had to say even if the market for figurines was okay, it wasn't that high. 

Figurines aside, Ishigami was more interested in educational toys, outdoor toys, sports toys, and plush since those types of toys would make the most money, as well as games. Still, everything had to be taken step by step, and everything started from conquering the figurine market. 

Instead of the problem of money, he thought of using his "Eyes of Wealth" to the best use, not by using it to pick up money on the road but with this trading account.

Still, while he wanted to get more money soon, he knew that there was a limited time for stock trading, so he needed to wait for the market to open. Frankly, FX trade might be better since its market opened for 24 hours, but his father definitely wouldn't allow him to go on such a market, considering how volatile it was; even so, a stock market was enough for him, especially when the leverage option wasn't closed. 

Well, this leverage wasn't much, only two times, though, but it was okay for him.

Still, as he had to wait for tomorrow, he talked with Kobachi, who called him, about their date plan for next weekend. 

"Can we?"

"...Nikko." 

Even though Ishigami had said that they could have stayed for a night during the date with Kobachi, he didn't expect that this girl would take his words seriously and decided to take their date to Nikko, which was a different city. 

In other words, they would stay at the hotel in that city, which made him feel conflicted, wondering how he could sleep with so many women in a short amount of time. 

Yes, he didn't doubt that he would sleep with Kobachi when they stayed together at that time unless she had her menstruation that day since he knew well how thirsty and lewd this girl was. 

After all, what kind of a girl would suddenly push and kiss her crush so suddenly in the library, right? 

If he stayed with her in the same room for a night... what would this girl do? 

Yes, it wasn't him who would make a move, but he could imagine that it was her who made the move! 

"You promised me before, right?" Kobachi showed disappointment and sadness in the video when she saw Ishigami's hesitation. "Are you going to break your promise, Yuu?" 

Ishigami's lips twitched, and then he sighed inwardly, but in the end, he agreed since he had promised before. "Okay, we can go to Nikko." 

Hearing that answer, Kobachi's smile bloomed happily. "Just prepare your luggage. You don't have to do anything. I have booked the hotel and train tickets." 

"...how much? I will pay for my shares." 

"It's fine. I don't lack money, and it isn't that expensive either." 

Yes, this was the truth. 

Kobachi didn't lack money, especially when she was a child actress during her childhood. More importantly, she got pocket money from her mother, her estranged father, and even her mother's boyfriend. Even if she spent her money lavishly occasionally, it didn't matter to her. 

Well, compared to Kaguya, there was a long distance between them, though. 

"Next time, when we go out, I will treat you." 

"Okay~!" 

Those words were the ones that she wanted to hear since she didn't want this trip to be the only trip they went on. 

To be honest, even now, she wasn't sure what his feelings were toward her, and sometimes, she was afraid that he would leave her. 

She knew well that he was kind and gentle, so he wouldn't reject her, but at the same time, if this relationship continued, they would hurt Onodera sooner or later. While she was more than happy to see Onodera feel sad and even exposed to this relationship with Onodera, so that way, he could only be for hers; she wasn't such a devil, especially when she knew that Onodera and Ishigami had lost their first time together. 

If this continued, she knew that she would lose her position within her heart, so even if it was a little forceful, she decided to take him on the trip. 

"But why Nikko? Is there something special that you want to see there?" 

Still, Ishigami never thought too much about Kobachi's purpose and intention. Instead, he was just curious why she chose Nikkou as their destination since it wasn't that popular spot among the youngsters. 

"I am thinking of you." 

"Me?"

"Yeah, you don't want to be seen by your girlfriend or her friends, right? More importantly, our relationship isn't something that can be shown to anyone, so among destinations, I chose Nikko since it isn't a popular spot among young people." 

"...I am not sure what to say." 

"Just be mine for the entire weekend this week." 

Such a simple wish, yet Ishigami knew how hard it was for him to make an excuse to go out with Kobachi on the secret rendezvous on Nikkou. 

Unlike Kobachi, who could make an excuse to stay at Iino's place, what about him? 

Could he say that he would visit his grandparents outside of Tokyo? 

Impossible!

Why? 

Because Onodera had gotten to know his parents, Ishigami knew that his mother had exchanged contact info with Onodera. 

If he had made an excuse that he would visit his grandparents, he could have imagined that Onodera would ask his mother. 

Then, should he tell his mother the truth that he cheated on his girlfriend? 

While he knew that his mother might be able to keep everything hidden, he knew well that it might make his mother feel guilty, especially when his mother had to lie to Onodera in case he told his mother everything. 

'If I have some business outside...' 

If he had other work, such as being a writer, a singer, or even having a business, he could say that he was busy, but as he had nothing, he couldn't make an excuse. 

So, what about Kaichou?

It was even more impossible since Ishigami knew that Shirogane was horrible at lying, acting, and other despicable things. More importantly, how could he make such a request??

Yet, like the idiom of "All Roads Lead to Rome," there must be a way, so he had never given up. 

"Are you thinking about something?" Kobachi asked with a gentle smile, but inwardly, no one knew what she was thinking, especially when she saw Ishigami, who appeared to be in a daze. 

"No, I am just excited about this trip." 

"Liar." 

"By the way, are we staying in a different room?" Ishigami tried to change the topic of the conversation. 

However, hearing this question, Kobachi smiled mischievously and asked, "Try to guess~!" 

"...if I win, what will I get?" 

"Fufufu, what do you want?" 

"...is something a bit perverted, okay?" 

Kobachi laughed even harder and felt happy since she could see that Ishigami liked her even more. 

Love me more~! Love me more~! Love me more~!

Those thoughts kept repeating within her mind as she wished him to be crazy about her. 

At the same time, Kobachi, who was in bed, moved slightly, letting her bare skin be seen from the large gap on the collar of her pajamas, which made him able to see almost two pointy pink cherries hidden inside. 

Her braless appearance almost broke his calm, yet at the same time, Ishigami wondered why; he felt a bit chilly for some reason. 

"What's wrong, Yuu?" 

"No, I feel a bit chilly." 

"Ah, then you should take a rest. Don't get sick," Kobachi quickly said, feeling worried about his health. 

"Okay." 

Ishigami also didn't intend to hang the call, afraid that his eyes would keep moving in a strange direction, even if he knew she was the one who tempted him. But then again, when he saw her gentle expression, was the cold feeling he felt before just his imagination? 

Only when the call closed did Kobachi remember that she forgot to ask him to meet her in the morning like before, but when she thought Ishigami felt a bit uncomfortable, she decided to be patient since, on the weekend, he would only be hers~!

Still, due to her negligence, Kobachi never expected that she would give someone a chance to be with him tomorrow morning. 

"Huh? Senpai?"
