Chapter 226
“What’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?”
Altria, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with Rika Kimoto, noticed Rika Kimoto’s depressed mood.
Rika Kimoto looked up at Altria.
She didn’t feel any malice from this person, but a reassuring feeling.
But…
Rika Kimoto glanced at Eiji who was driving with the corner of her eye.
This man was a little scary.
Although he didn’t emit any malice, Eiji gave her the feeling of a dark abyss.
Darkness has been terrifying since ancient times.
According to Rika Kimoto’s experience, she should say that she is fine at this time, just a little nervous or something like that.
Waiting until the man in front is not around to ask the beautiful sister next to her alone is the right choice.
‘But if I don’t say it now, I will be taken to Tokyo and forced to separate from Yuta, Yuta…’
Rika Kimoto made up her mind.
“Um, can I live here?”
Rika Kimoto’s voice was full of uneasiness.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to live in Tokyo?”
Eiji asked knowingly.
“No.”
Rika Kimoto shook her head. She was afraid that Eiji would think that she didn’t want to be adopted by them, and she would be sent back to her previous home or to an orphanage.
“It’s just that I go to school here, and if I go to Tokyo, I won’t be able to see my friends…”
Rika Kimoto said cautiously.
“Really?”
Eiji nodded and pretended to be in thought.
“But we are usually in Tokyo. If you want to stay in Miyagi, you have to live alone.”
‘Live alone? ‘
After hearing this answer, Rika Kimoto not only did not feel embarrassed or afraid.
Instead, she was a little happy.
“I can take care of myself, and it’s okay to live alone.”
Rika Kimoto asked Eiji in a firm tone.
Because she was not welcomed by her family, Rika Kimoto had strong self-care ability.
And she was also looking forward to living alone.
‘If you can live alone, call Yuta home. Yuta will definitely not refuse. Then it will be just the two of us…’
Thinking of this, Rika Kimoto’s eyes became more determined.
“Is that so? It’s not impossible.”
“Really.”
Hearing Eiji’s words, Rika Kimoto smiled very happily.
‘I can live alone, I can go to play with Yuta at any time, and I can bring Yuta home to play…’
For a moment, countless non-existent memories appeared in Rika Kimoto’s mind.
“But it’s definitely not okay to let a child live alone. It just so happens that we are going to visit a family next. They have two children of your age. Let’s see if we can let them take care of you.”
Eiji’s words interrupted Rika Kimoto’s fantasy time.
“Who is it?”
Rika Kimoto asked curiously.
After Eiji started talking, Rika Kimoto could feel the aura of Eiji more clearly.
She also discovered that although Eiji’s aura was scary, he had no ill will towards her, but instead had a kind of good impression that she didn’t understand.
‘Does this uncle like little girls? ‘
Thinking of this, Rika Kimoto secretly glanced at the smaller Altria next to her.
Then she shook her head vigorously.
‘No, don’t think about things that are not certain. ‘
“It’s the Otsutsuki family. We will return to Tokyo after visiting the Otsutsuki family.”
“Otsutsuki!”
Rika Kimoto’s mouth widened in surprise.
“Speaking of which, it seems that there is also a little boy named Otsutsuki Yuta among your friends, right? Is he the friend you can’t let go of?”
Eiji showed the same squinting eyes as Geto Suguru, and observed Rika Kimoto’s expression through the rearview mirror with a smile on his face.
“No, no, we are just friends.”
Rika Kimoto blushed slightly.
Although she is not a tsundere, expressing feelings to Yuta is one thing, and being teased by outsiders is another.
Eiji looked at Rika Kimoto’s slightly shy expression with a happy face.
Rika Kimoto showed an expression that matched her age only when talking about Yuta Otsutsukota.
Rika Kimoto always showed a maturity that was not in line with her age at other times.
After teasing Rika Kimoto for a while with the topic of Yuta Otsutsukota, they came to the Otsutsukota family.
Although the bloodline of the Otsutsukota family came from Sugawara Michizane, and Gojo Satoru was a distant relative.
But the Otsutsukota family had not produced a sorcerer for a long time, and it was an ordinary family.
Yuta Otsutsukota was inherited from the previous generation.
Ding dong, ding dong.
“Here it comes.”Click.
“Excuse me, is it Rika?”
Yuta Otsutsukota, who opened the door, looked at Rika Kimoto who suddenly appeared at the door in surprise.
“Good evening, Yuta.”
Rika Kimoto put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and her forehead almost touched Yuta Otsutsukota’s head.
“Oh, too close, Rika.”
“Hehe.”
The two children soon started playing together.
“Yuta, who’s here?”
Yuta Otsutsukota’s mother saw that Yuta, who opened the door, had not entered the house, so she planned to come out to see what was going on.
“Rika is here, please come in, are you Rika’s relatives?”
Seeing that it was Rika Kimoto who played well with her son, Yuta Otsutsukota’s mother immediately smiled and took the few people into the house.
Since today was the weekend, Yuta Otsutsukota’s father and sister were also at home.
“Excuse me, is it Mr. Kenichi Otsutsukota?”
After entering the room, Eiji found Yuta Otsutsukota’s father directly.
“Yes, may I ask who you are?”
Otsutsuki Kenichi looked at the young man who seemed to be very familiar with him in confusion.
“Hello, I am the HR of Oriental Financial Technology Company. I wonder if Mr. Otsutsuki is interested in working for our company.”
Eiji took out a contract and handed it to Otsutsuki Kenichi.
Oriental Finance was a company established by Eiji in 2008. It made a lot of money by preparing for the 2008 crisis in advance and became a large-scale financial company.
In addition, due to the advantage of being a prophet, the company under Eiji has always been in the limelight, and Eiji is willing to give overtime pay, bonuses and other benefits.
So the company has recruited a lot of talents.
The company is energetic, has the right direction, and has the support of the Zenin family in the background.
So the company has developed very fast and is now almost the size of a consortium.
“Are you really…”
Otsutsuki Kenichi looked at Eiji with some doubt.
On the one hand, Eiji is too young and does not have the feeling of a working man.
On the other hand, it is a bit unbelievable that a pie suddenly fell from the sky.
If the contract is true, his income will at least double, and he will be able to move from a well-off to middle class in no time.
After so many years in society, he already knows that he is not a genius.
He has also lost the sharpness and confidence he had when he first entered society. Now, as a mature man, he is more afraid of bringing trouble to his family because of the wrong choice.
