Only then did I remember what I had just done.
boom!
"what!"
He suddenly stood up from his seat.
As a result, his head hit the roof of the car again.
He began to lunge uncontrollably towards Aoba.
"Ouch—it hurts!"
Hisako covered her head, her eyes now fully alert.
The etiquette of a personal secretary is ingrained in her bones; before even realizing the situation, she immediately bowed and apologized.
"Mr. Aoba, I'm so sorry!"
"you......"
Shinho Hisashi's clothes were still in a daze, and she was about to finish her sentence.
Suddenly I felt a warm sensation coming from in front of me?
Lower your head slightly.
Because of the bending over, the warm, jade-like luster of the school uniform caught the eye...
I looked down.
He happened to meet a pair of resentful eyes staring at him.
Besides.
Mr. Aoba seemed to want to say something.
"you..."
"Mmm~~~~"
Chapter 21 Hisako, why are you blushing?
Luxury cars drove along the way.
Inside the partitioned back seat, Hisako blushed to her neck and sat very nervously by the car window.
She crossed her arms, her delicate, pale fingers gripping the hem of her school uniform tightly, and muttered to herself:
"Mr. Aoba didn't do it on purpose."
"Hisako, calm down, you must calm down."
The girl's soft murmurs continued to reach Aoba's ears, whose physique had been enhanced.
This left him even more speechless.
You've been sitting here without moving, haven't you?
The result was that he did it on purpose.
She is indeed a girl the same age as Kasumigaoka.
trouble.
Aoba didn't want to explain further to Hisako Shinto's incessant mutterings.
let it go.
His gaze drifted out the car window.
The receding street scene pulled his thoughts far away.
The bustling appearance of District 20 is no longer visible here.
Totsuki Academy is located on the outskirts of the 19th district, which borders the 20th district.
This place was once the site of old Kyoto.
It is also a very old and traditional area.
When the old Kyoto was moved to the new Tokyo, many noble families did not relocate.
Instead, they continue to live in this place.
Therefore, this place was once considered to be the place with the strongest cultural heritage in Kyoto.
It is also a place that places the utmost emphasis on family and tradition.
However, with the introduction of modern consciousness, the social hierarchy that was once openly displayed has become obscure.
Many families have now transformed themselves and remain active around the world under the names of companies or groups.
It is also located in an area adjacent to District 20.
This area also houses a branch of the prosecutor's office.
Even many high-ranking officials in the Prosecutor's Office reside in District 19 year-round.
after all.
Having achieved a status higher than that of ordinary people, the only thing that can satisfy them is their appetite.
As a result, the Nakiri family became a rising star in the 19th ward, following the old Kyoto.
They were among the most prominent families in many aristocratic households with a long history.
With the help of the unique Totsuki Academy, the Nakiri family has won over many high-end hotel companies and food companies.
The Nakiri family residence is located deep within Totsuki Academy.
A luxury car passes by the gate of Totsuki Academy.
Aoba was first surprised, then understood.
A place meant for teaching and imparting knowledge is built in such a luxurious manner.
How could the purpose be so pure?
This magnificent gate is more than just a simple school gate.
More often than not, they are 'doors' that separate social classes.
However, none of this mattered to Aoba.
Run your izakaya well, live life to the fullest, and enjoy life.
This is Aoba's wish.
I ask for nothing more.
-
The car came to a stop.
Finally, they arrived at the Nakiri family residence.
Aoba and Hisako Shinto got off the bus one after the other.
He surveyed the extremely traditional Japanese dwelling before him, while Hisako, standing beside him, exhaled deeply, her expression returning to its previous calm and dignified state.
"Aoba-kun, please come with me..."
Hisako hadn't finished speaking.
The gate to the Nakiri family mansion was then opened directly.
Senzaemon Nakiri and Erina Nakiri hurried over, both with very serious expressions.
It was as if the guests arriving were distinguished guests from some ancient family.
"Mr. Aoba, welcome."
Senzaemon, wearing wooden clogs, stood tall and greeted Aoba.
“Mr. Nakiri, you’re being too serious.”
Aoba was startled.
This guy is the Demon King of Food!
A top-tier chef recognized by the culinary world.
As Erina's elder, he stepped forward, grasped Senzaemon's hand, and said softly, "I am honored to have been invited. I apologize for disturbing you."
"Mr. Store Manager!"
Erina, who was standing next to him, also greeted Aoba.
She had intended to ask about the luminous dish that had so impressed her yesterday, but then she noticed that Hisako, who was standing next to her, still had a flush on her face.
As your personal secretary.
She still cares about Hisako, and is one of the few people in the academy who can speak up for her.
In a situation like today, Hisako clearly shouldn't have this kind of expression.
Could it be that she is not feeling well?
Hisako, are you... feeling unwell?
Erina looked at Hisako and asked in confusion.
"Huh?! No, no!" Hisako hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands in denial, her guilty expression so obvious that even Aoba could tell something was wrong.
"Is it really okay?"
Erina walked over, looked into Hisako's eyes, and seemed to realize something.
Could it be because Hisako questioned the manager's abilities last night, and then came here with him in the car today?
So I feel a little embarrassed.
"The store manager is a very nice person. He'll apologize later and everything will be fine."
Erina followed behind Senzaemon and Aoba, whispering in Hisako's ear.
