Chapter 98

I opened my eyes to see the sleeping face of a beautiful girl right in front of me. This girl is one of my girlfriends, Hayasaka Ai. The reason she sleeps with me because my girlfriends have made a schedule for who is the one that sleeps with me every day. And last night is Ai-chan's turn.

Looking at her adorable sleeping face with her hair flowing down without the hair tie made me mesmerized. In the end, I can't help but gently pulled her face and kissed her lips.

"Mmh.." Ai-chan slowly opened her eyes as she felt the warm feeling on her lips. As I separated our lips, our eyes meet and we affectionately gazed at each other. Then, I closed the gap of our face and kissed her lips once again.

This time, Ai-chan closed her eyes and replied my kiss. I inserted my tongue into her mouth, and she replied as her tongue started to intertwine with mine. The sounds of kissing reverberated in the room for two minutes long.

"You made me wake up, Izumi..." Ai-chan said with a reddened face.

"Well, not a bad way to wake you up, right?" I smirked and said.

"Nn... But, I'm still sleepy..." Ai-chan said as she rubs her eyes.

"Since it's still very early in the morning, you can sleep again." I caressed her cheek and said.

"Okay..." Ai-chan smiled and said. Then, she lay her head on my hand and hugged me as she closed her eyes.

'Very adorable.'

I look around the room. It was a big Japanese style room with a king-sized bed which Ai-chan and I sleep in. The bed is the only one that wasn't in the Japanese mansion theme but it was oddly suitable for this room as it is very simple and elegant.

It's been a week since we move to this Japanese style mansion. The girls except Kaguya and Ai-chan were very excited when they saw the mansion for the first time after the cleaning phase finished. Well, the Shinomiya's main house was like this after all.

However, according to them, ours are bigger than Shinomiya's. So, they were quite astonished when they saw this mansion. Still, the other girls were more excited than them. Even Nanaka who usually calm can't help but excited especially when she saw the big garden in front of the mansion.

The day after we move, she promptly initiated her plan to make a flower garden. At any rate, although I have a promise to go somewhere with Kei today, it still five hours before the promised time. So, while I hugged the girl who sleeps while smiling, my eyes closed and I drifted to sleep.

"Please wake up, Master." Someone gently shakes my body and said.

"Good morning, Grayfia..." I said as I sit and stretched my hand.

"Good morning, Master. Do you want a cup of tea?" Grayfia asked with a smile.

I said as I sit and stretched my hand. I answered with a smile. Then I look around to see I was alone in the bed.

"Where is Ai-chan?" I looked at Grayfia who pouring the tea into the cup and asked.

"Hayasaka-sama has woken up an hour before you and went out with Kaguya-sama," Grayfia answered.

"You can drop the –sama, you know? I already told the girls about it after all." I said.

"No, Master. This is my job, so I need to behave properly." Grayfia said with a smile.

"You are too serious if it's about your job, Grayfia. Still, you should drop the –sama in your day off." I smiled wryly and said.

"Understood, Master." Grayfia smilingly nodded and said. Then, Grayfia carefully brought the tea to me.

"Thank you, Grayifa." I smiled and said.

"It is my job, Master," Grayfia said with a smile. I slowly drink the tea that Grayfia prepared and realized it was the same tea Natsuki always made for me.

After I had finished my tea, I gave the cup to Grayfia and stand up from the bed. I look at the clock on the wall that displayed 9 AM which means there is still one hour for me to prepare before meeting Kei. Still, might as well go early and pick Kei from her house.

"Please prepare an outfit for me, Grayfia. I'm going somewhere." I said.

"It has been prepared, Master. Please let me help you change." Grayfia said with a smile but her eyes are serious.

"Eh? I can change myself, though." I widened my eyes and said.

"No, no. It is my job as the head maid to serve my master exclusively." Grayifa instantly denied and said.

"Fine, please help me changing my cloth, Grayfia." Looking at such eager Grayfia, I accepted her offer and let her help me change my cloth. Of course, I change my underpants myself. Still, other than that, she insists to help me change.

Well, not like I have something to hide, though. However, it takes some time before I finished changing because Grayfia sometime looking at me in a daze with her cheek reddened. I can only smile wryly while looking at my obvious head maid.

Right now, I was standing in front of a small apartment with the name tag 'Shirogane' displayed beside the door.

There are two presences inside the apartment and Miyuki-chan said he won't be at home today as he needs to help his colleague attending his shift. This means, besides Kei, Papa Shirogane is at home today.

I have met him several times, and he is quite a classy old man. In addition, his voice was like that of a voice actor. I think he is quite popular in the middle of aunties in this neighborhood. He said he didn't want to remarry because he loves his wife very much, though.

Or maybe it's because her wife still isn't still giving him any certainty about their relationship. Because as far as I know, even though his wife left him, they haven't divorced yet. This is also what makes Kei think her mom doesn't love her anymore.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Dad, please open the door. I am still preparing!" Kei's shout can be heard from the outside. Of course, I think I am the only one who heard it since there is a need to get close as much as possible if an ordinary people wants to hear a shout from the inside of the apartment.

"Alright." Papa Shirogane shortly answered. Incidentally, I don't know his full name because he instantly told me to call him like that when we meet.

"Yo isn't it Izumi-kun. Welcome, welcome. Please come in because my daughter is still preparing." Papa Shirogane said with a beaming smile after knowing I was the one who came.

"Thank you, old man. Please excuse me." Still, calling an old man with 'Papa' is kinda... Anyway, I called him an old man, and he already accepted it. There is no need for him to escort me as I have been here many times before. So, we just walk to the living room and sit leisurely while watching the TV.

"Who is it, Dad?" Kei asked from her room.

"It's your dear Izumi." Papa Shirogane answered with a smirk on his face.

"S-s-senpai?!" Kei said in a stutter. Then the sounds of footsteps can be heard approaching the door that connecting Kei's room and living room. The door opened revealing Kei who still wearing a towel. I assume she still chooses which outfit she's gonna wear.

"Senpai? I thought we were going to meet at the station?" Kei asked with a reddened cheek and a happy expression. Looks like it's a good choice to pick her up.

"Hoho...My daughter has become this bold in front of her boyfriend, huh..." Papa Shirogane nodded and said.

"Well, it is a sight to remember," I smirked and said as I looked at her. As if she didn't realize what she wears, Kei looked at her body to see she only wearing a towel.

"Kyaaa!" Kei's face reddened, and she promptly entered the room and closed the door. I know she is still leaning her back to the door.

"I just want to pick you up, Kei. Can't I?" I said and asked in a faked sad voice.

"Of course you can anytime!" Kei instantly replied from behind the door.

"Good. Don't worry and take your time to prepare, Kei. I will wait here with your old man." I said.

"Okay! I will be prepared as soon as possible!" Kei said then the sounds of footsteps can be heard once again but this time, it's going to the opposite way from me.

"Your daughter is so adorable, old man." I smiled and said.

"I know, right." Papa Shirogane nodded and said.

"Anyway, how's your job?" I casually asked.

"As always, it's so so. I do feel bad for Miyuki, though. Originally, he doesn't need to help me working." Papa Shirogane said.

"Well, I do want to offer you some jobs, old man. Unfortunately, none of my bussiness are in Izu. Even the latest branch of my restaurant was in Hiroshima." I said.

"That's fine. I can't rely on the friend of my son and the boyfriend of my daughter like that after all." Papa Shirogane smiled and said. And suddenly, I thought about something interesting.

"I do have an idea, though. How about you became a streamer? I think you will be a popular streamer with your voice." I smirked and said.

"Streamer? Like those who played some games?" Papa Shirogane looks interested by the idea and asked.

"Not only games. You can even hold a chatting live stream. I will provide you with the laptop and things for that." I suggested.

"And I just told you I didn't want to rely my daughter's boyfriend." Papa Shirogane said.

"Think of it as an investment. I am sure you can be a popular streamer, old man. Besides, if it can make Kei happy, it's worth it. Not like it's pricey anyway." I smiled and said.

"Hmmm...If you say that far, fine. Do send the equipment to me, I will learn to stream by myself." Papa Shirogane joyfully said after thinking for a bit.

"Haha, that's the spirit." I laughed and said. Kei, who has finished her preparation, opened the door.

She wears a gray knit sweater with a blak skirt and black knee sock alongside black shoes. Honestly, she is very cute wearing that outfit. It is the popular autumn fashion for a girl. I think Shiori is the one who became the model for this fashion.

"You look lovely, Kei." I intently looked at her and said.

"T-thank you, Senpai..." Kei lowered her head and shyly said.

"Hohoho...��� Papa Shirogane just nodded approvingly.

"Well, shall we go?" I stand up and offered my hand for her to hold.

"Nn..." Kei nodded, and she gently grasped my hand.

"Then, we're off, old man!"

"Ou, have fun you two!"
