Visitor

From Shizu’s words, she’s also anticipating for the girl to show up with me. Given that she was informed of what happened earlier, she most likely got her motivation to gauge the girl.

Unfortunately, Kana and the others jumped on Hana first. When I told her that, Shizu simply nodded in understanding.

“Are you starting to worry that she’s going to steal me?”

“Not in the slightest. If there’s someone that’s gonna take you down. That’s me.”

“I love that confidence. The two of you are always welcome to try. But at the end of the day, it will be the same. You’re both going to be mine.”

“That cocky attitude will be your downfall in the future, Ruki. Not that I don’t love it.” Shizu amusedly said as she soon opened her arms, gesturing to me to come closer.

It’s a routine by now. Apart from her tea, my presence has become one of her energizers. And so, I approached her table and leaned down, greeting her with a kiss.
