Chapter 64

After Kotori left, Megumi spoke.

　　"Ryuji-kun is really popular."

　　Ryuji shuddered, Megumi's words seemed to contain a trace of complaint.

　　He looked at Megumi, her face as calm as ever, like he was thinking too much.

　　"How could it be?" Ryuji shook his head with a smile, he never thought he was popular, and he had very few friends.

　　After eating, Ryuuji and Megumi left the maid cafe, followed by Kotori.

　　"Hyakki-kun, could you not tell Honoka and the others about my part-time job here?" Kotori's voice was gentle and intoxicating.

　　If it was an ordinary girl, perhaps Ryuji should say something like 'if you don't want to reveal the secret, just obey'.

　　"That's fine, but in exchange, can Minami-san promise me a condition?" However, what Ryuji said still continued.

　　"Please let me know." The simple-minded Kotori thought a lot.

　　"Could you quit your job at the maid cafe?" Ryuji said without hiding anything.

　　"Huh, why?" Kotori was confused. She goes to work at the maid cafe to train herself, and today is her first day, and she only serves one customer, Ryuji.

　　"Because I don't want to see you serve others." Ryuji didn't hide his inner thoughts.

　　No one was allowed to look at her, this was almost a confession, Kotori blushed, and Megumi didn't speak.

　　"Please don't misunderstand, this isn't a confession, it's just a deliberate request." Ryuji explained flatly.

　　He doesn't want the girl he knows to hook up with a stranger. This was due to Ryuji's excessive possessiveness.

　　"This..." Kotori was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

　　Ryuji was the benefactor who made music for Muse, she couldn't refuse his request, but she also didn't want to lose this rare opportunity.

　　"Could Minami-san tell me why you came to work at the maid cafe?" Ryuji asked.

　　Kotori told the truth, "I can't bring everyone together like Honoka or write songs like Umi, but I want to change!"

　　Kotori thought that she wasn't as good as Honoka and Umi, so she hoped to improve her skills through part-time jobs.

　　"In that case, it's fine if it's not a maid cafe," Ryuji said purposely.

　　"Correct." Kotori nodded.

　　"Then there's no problem." Ryuji said with a smile. "Leave the job to me, and you will quit your job at the maid cafe in exchange."

　　It was a rather rude request, but Ryuji was Muse's benefactor, and Kotori couldn't refuse.

　　"Does Hyakki-kun like me?" Kotori thought to herself. Even though he denies it, he doesn't want girls to hook up with foreign guys, so he likes her a lot.

　　Kotori didn't have much contact with men, and had never received acknowledgment from one.

　　In the end, Kotori agreed to Ryuji's request and quit her job at the maid cafe. Maybe because the other party was Muse's benefactor, or maybe because it was the first time a boy had confessed, Kotori didn't know about it.

　　After exiting the maid cafe, Megumi suddenly asked, "Why did Ryuji-kun say such a thing?"

　　"Hasn't the reason already been said?" Ryuuji replied.

　　Megumi shook her head, "Ryuji-kun isn't that kind of person."

　　Ryuji laughed, and asked, "What kind of person am I in Megumi's eyes?"

　　"Should I say kind or gentle. Simply put, you are a caring person," Megumi said of Ryuji in her impression.

　　However, Ryuji shook his head, "I am neither kind nor gentle, I am a selfish man, and I can guiltlessly sacrifice others to achieve my goal."

　　"That is not true." Megumi suddenly quickened her pace, walked up to Ryuji, and met his eyes.

　　Pure white palms fell on Ryuji's black hair, and her movements were very gentle, "Because, Ryuji-kun has always worked hard for others."

　　(Always like that.)

　　Ryuji was silent and didn't speak, and spoke after a long time, "Really, what if I accidentally fall in love with you if you do such a thing."

　　"After all, it's Ryuji-kun, so you must love a lot of girls." Megumi smiled faintly. "I remember Ryuji-kun said when you were little, you will open a harem when you grow up."

　　"That's a lie, right?"

　　"I lied to you." Having been with Ryuji for so long, Megumi has turned bad too!

　　"Sorry, I went shopping with you today, but I was delayed by something else."

　　"I will make up for it in the future!"

　　Once again, Ryuji took Megumi's hand.
