Chapter 90 - Leave it to me!

Chapter 90

"Welcome to our firm!" The salesperson lowered his head and politely greeted us when we entered the firm. Then, we promptly sit in front of the salesperson.

"What kind of property are you two searching today, Mister and Miss?" The salesperson asked with a smile on his face.

"I want a big mansion with at least 10 rooms beside the master bedroom. If possible, I want the location of the mansion is near Shuuchiin Academy. Also, I want a big garden because one of my girlfriends wanted to make a flower garden." I said.

"Hmmm, please allow me to ask my boss first. Excuse me." The salesperson said after thinking for a bit. Then he went to the backroom to call his boss.

"I don't think there is a mansion that big except Shinomiya's and your board chairman's mansion near Shuuchiin Academy," Natsuki said.

"Hehe, normally it should be like that. But, I have a feeling there is one." I smiled mysteriously and said.

"If you said that then it must be true. I will look for people to hire as maids in your future house then." Natsuki said.

"Hehe, as expected of my cute secretary. But, it's not 'your' house. It's 'Our' house because I want you to live with us too." I said with a gentle smile.

"...Okay, you win. Please stop doing that in this kind of place..." Natsuki looked away and said with her cheek dyed in red.

"Hehe, fine..." I smilingly said. Then, after about five minutes talking with his boss, the salesperson comes back.

"Sorry to make you wait, Mister and Miss. Actually, one mansion fits your description. And it is a Japanese style mansion with a vast garden in front of it. And the location is fifteen minutes away from Shuuchiin Academy.

This is the photo. In fact, this mansion hasn't been sold for two years because most people believe the mansion is cursed. People believe the previous owner of the mansion got bankrupt because after they live in the house.

However, it wasn't true at all. The owner sells it because they can't afford the cost to maintain that big house as they made it without thinking after they got a massive sum of money. I can prove it's not cursed because I tried to live there for a week alone and nothing happens." The salesperson said then explained about the mansion he suggested.

"Well, I believe you. At any rate, what's the price? And it seems there is a need to slightly clean the forest near the house." I nodded and said.

"You believed me?! Thank you very much, mister. You are the only one who believed me after looking at the mansion. Ah, pardon my rudeness.

The initial price was about 300 million yen, but right now it became 250 million yen. And the price to clean the forest a bit is 5 million yen. How about it?" The salesperson excitedly said.

"Sure thing. Let's proceed with the procedure and payment. And I want this mansion to be ready in a month." I nodded and said.

"Thank you very much! We will make sure it finished in a month." The salesperson gratefully said.

Then we proceed to complete the procedure to make this mansion mine. I paid a quarter of the amount plus the cleaning fee and complete the payment after the mansion ready to live in.

---

Right now, Natsuki and I were walking leisurely in the shopping street near the firm we bought a mansion in. The procedure has finished, and the salesperson said the cleaning would start from tomorrow. Now, it's finally time to enjoy quality time with Natsuki.

"Is there any place you wanted to go, Natsuki-chan?" I asked.

"...Actually there is one. But it's better to go there before the sunset." Natsuki answered with a smile after thinking for a bit. Although I don't know where she wanted to go, I am certain it is a wonderful place as it made her showing that kind of smile.

"I see, then how about we go to Karaoke?" I smiled and asked.

"...Karaoke, huh... I have never been in one before." Natsuki said while seemingly thinking about something.

"Then, more reason to go to Karaoke. Let's go!" I gently grasped Natsuki's hand and take her to the nearby place for Karaoke.

When we entered the Karaoke Box, a group consist of five teens and two little girls was there. They're people that I know, the members of the Neighbor Club. It seems two members discussing how the price was weird even though they merely rent one room for six people.

"President and Minamiya-sensei?" Kodaka, who noticed us entered the Karaoke Box, said.

"Yo, Hasegawa-kun. Enjoying your youth by going to Karaoke with everyone? Good for you. I can't believe our self-proclaimed not delinquent can enjoy his youth like this." I jokingly said.

"Haha... President too, enjoying your youth with a teacher?" Kodaka smiled dryly and answered back.

"Hoho... a forbidden relationship between a teacher and a student. Although, I understand why you want to be with Minamiya-sensei since she is very cute." A brown-haired girl with glasses laughingly said.

"I won't deny that but... If a rumor about that spreading in the school..." I said with a threatening tone. It seems my threatening tone caused the two little girls frightened and hide behind Kodaka.

"O-of course, president! I will make sure it stays within us." Yozora hastily said.

"Y-yes, president!" Kodaka added in panic.

"Hah? I can just report it to my father, you know?" The blonde girl, Sena boastingly said.

"Hoo...Even though there won't be a problem if you reported it to Pegasus-san, I think I remember a report about a girl who brings an eroge to the school. And about a lewd voice that can be heard from a certain room. Hmm, I should report this to the board chairman too." I smirked and said.

"U-Understood, president! We will make sure there is no rumor!" Sena's face paled and said in a panic.

"If I hear a rumor about us. You five should be careful in the next test." Natsuki, who has been silent, suddenly said.

"Roger, Ma'am!" The neighbor club's members simultaneously said.

"Hahaha... Regardless, go rent a room. The clerk has been looking at you with a wry smile since Natsuki and I entered here." I laughingly said.

"Oh right, I forgot. I'm taking back my order before. I'm renting a room for one person with a drink bar!" Yozora went to the clerk and pridefully said.

"Pfff..." I looked away to hold back my laugh. Albeit didn't make sounds, Natsuki turned her face away with her shoulder shaking.

"Hee?!" The clerk looks surprised.

"These people were indeed my acquaintances. But we entered simultaneously by coincidence." Yozora smugly explained.

"Y-yes... a room for one person plus drink bar, it's 900 yen..." The clerk resignedly said.

After that, Sena also rent the exact thing as Yozora.

"Pfff... Hold back your laugh, Natsuki-chan." I said in a low voice.

"W-what are you talking about... I'm not laughing..." Natsuki answered with her voice shaking as if holding back her laugh.

Then, it's Kodaka's turn, and he rented one room for four-person which caused the two idiots before him looked back. But they're too embarrassed to say anything and went away to their Karaoke room. Kodaka and the rest followed after them when they finished renting a Karaoke Box.

"Haha, that was funny. Ah, please a room for two." I laughingly said.

"Fortunately I have seen many dramas to know about this kind of thing. I don't want to embarrass myself like that." Natsuki casually said. But her face was flushed after holding back her laugh.

After that, we promptly went to our Karaoke box. Because it's the first time for Natsuki, she asked me to sing first which I accepted. I choose to sing a song from Higedan, Shukumei. Natsuki is the first person that hears my singing after getting a new skill, Singing Proficiency.

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

"Beautiful... I don't know you can sing this good... I think you can even be a popular singer too." Natsuki smiled and said.

"And decreasing my time with you and my girlfriends? No way. I'd rather be the boss and have people work for me." I smirked and said.

"That answer was very like you..." Natsuki said with a gentle smile.

"Hehe... Now, it's your turn." I smiled and said. Natsuki nervously nodded and select a song. She selected a popular Enka in its time, Amagi Goe.

Although she has a quite mature tone when talking, her singing voice was very cute. And the gap of hearing this kind of song with such a cute voice made me smile.

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

"...How is it?" Natsuki shyly asked.

"The gap of your voice when talking and singing was very adorable... I want to hear more..." I said with a charming smile.

"...Fine... But I want to hear your singing too after that." Natsuki averted her eyes and said with a rosy cheek.

"Hehe... Of course, that's why we come here together, right?" I said with a gentle smile.

"Nn..." Natsuki shyly nodded then she chooses another song.

It was an hour before the sunset when we went out of the Karaoke Box. It seems Kodaka's group also just finished and already went back before us.

"So, where is the place that you wanted to go?" I tilted my head and asked.

"It is at Amagi Mountain. Let's go right away!" Natsuki held my hand and excitedly said.

"Well, let's just teleport to the forest in the mountain," I said then I took Natsuki to the back-alley and teleported to a place in the forest where my intuition informed me to.

"We're here. So, where to go now?" I asked.

"It's near. Please close your eyes." Natsuki smilingly said. I closed my eyes and Natsuki held my hand then take me walking around the forest. After walking for some time, we stopped our steps.

"Please open your eyes." Natsuki gently said.

When I opened my eyes, I was mesmerized by the scenery in front of me. Flowers with various color dancing on the wind making a breathtaking and harmonious scenery.

I didn't know Amagi Mountain had a beautiful flower field. It might be just because I haven't visited it since I rarely go to the mountain.

"Beautiful..." I said in a daze.

"In fact, I just knew about this two days ago. And I wanted to show this scenery to you." Natsuki said with a smile.

"Hehe... Let's sit below that tree. Fortunately, other people choose another place to sit." I smiled and said while pointed at the tree.

"Nn!" Natsuki nodded with a smile.

We went to the tree and sit on the ground after covering it with a blanket which I just made stealthily. The sunset positioned right in front of us adding more beautifulness to the scenery. We enjoyed the scenery in silence with our shoulders that leaned to each other.

When I looked at Natsuki beside me, her hair was blowing gently because of the evening winds. She looked so peaceful and happy, and it made me mesmerized.

"Natsuki-chan, can you give me a lap pillow?" I asked with a expectant expression.

"Sure, here..." Natsuki patted her laps and said with a gentle smile. Without saying anything I lay my head on her laps. She was looking at me with a gentle and affectionate smile while gently caressing my head.

I closed my eyes with a smile on my face to enjoy my head being caressed by Natsuki in the middle of the gentle evening winds. After some moment of peace, I opened my eyes to see Natsuki still looking at me with a gentle smile.

"Hey, Natsuki-chan." I said.

"Nn?" Natsuki tilted her head still with a gentle smile.

"Do you remember what you said about make a right choice?" I asked with a serious expression.

"Yes... Even now, I hope you will do so." Natsuki said with a sad smile.

"Is this right choice that you implied will made us separated?" I asked.

"...Who knows, it is your choice right?" Natsuki said after thinking for a bit.

"Listen, Natsuki. I have said this before, but I will always choose a happy ending. For me, for my girlfriends, and for you. I don't like making a promise since in the end, promise is just words. So, I will confidently say.

I am certain we can be together forever. And nothing can prevent us to have that kind of happy ending. That's why, stop showing me that sad smile and believed the man in front of you." I gently caressed her cheek and said with a thoughtful expression.

"....Hahaha" Natsuki suddenly laughed but her face was reddened until her ears. Then, she tenderly grasped my hand that caressing her cheek and closed her eyes.

"I always believed in you, Izumi. But indeed, there might be some doubt in my hearts about if in that happy end I was included. Because this problem has been the fate of every member of Minamiya's family.

However, from now on, I will completely believe you and I promised to not showed a sad smile to everyone. That's why, please show me the happy end that you wanted to make." Natsuki said with an affectionate smile.

"That's easy, just leave it to me." I smiled and said while looking at her affectionately.
