Chasing Night Novel Chapter 68: M & T

Chapter 68: M & T

Kenji accompanied

to the room where I can practice for the event. By event, I ant the wedding. I didn’t know I have to learn lot more things! And this ti, Himari will be the one teaching . ’At least she doesn’t hate

because I stole her boyfriend.’ That is what I thought but I learned that she can be really strict, even stricter than Tomoe! Since we have a ti limit, I had to learn all of it in one go.

The way I should behave in the ceremony, and how to properly say my vows without stuttering. Unlike the western wedding ceremony, it’s all different. I don’t know if I can do this without proper knowledge.

"I’m so tired!" Rika massaged my shoulders while I say that aloud. The wedding’s coming up soon and I don’t think I’ll be able to learn all of this in one go. ’All that Tomoe taught

were either useless or just bare minimum.’

"I don’t think I can do this anymore," I said aloud.

"Hang in there, young miss! You can do this."

I can’t even believe how much I have to go through just for a wedding. ’I an I know I’m the one receiving too much and this is only a little of what I need to do back to them, but it still makes

feel sowhat... weird.’ Since this is only a temporary thing, I think preparing too much for a fake wedding makes

feel guilty about their tradition. Like, aren’t I ruining their tradition with this? I an, it’s not only

but also Night.

"Ugh, I don’t know."

I don’t want to think of these unnecessary thoughts anymore. I’ll just do it and after that, it’ll be done. "Right, can everyone speak in English and Tagalog?" I’ve been feeling curious about this since this morning. Makoto looks like he’s fluent in English and I heard him talk in Tagalog too so I thought maybe he also lived in the Philippines before.

"Yes, young miss. The children are taught three languages when they start studying. It’s Japanese, English, and Tagalog." My eyes widened hearing that. ’Wow, aren’t they too talented learning all of that?’ I thought. "It’s a must since the group expanded not only in Japan but also in the US and the Philippines." She added. ’I never thought that their group will be that big.’

That reminds . "Then that little girl— I an Mizuki, can she speak in Tagalog too?" I asked.

Rika tilted her head. "Mizuki-sama? I think she does, young miss. She’s already 7 years old after all." Eh? So that little girl’s just 7 years old. She’s so cute that I can’t get her face off my head. I think she’ll grow up even more beautiful than her sister.

"Don’t I need to learn anything about them?"

"The miss didn’t ask Kenji-sama?"

I shook my head. Why would I ask that jerk? "On second thought, never mind. Can I tour the whole place after I rest?" Rika nodded and so I decided to rest well first. It’ll be lunch soon but I guess we’re not forced to eat it with each other since grandpa Kenta and the other uncles aren’t around at this mont. The weather’s too good for

to not sleep on this comfy and soft bed.

"Wake

up before 1 pm."

That’s what I told Rika, but it didn’t even reach 12 NN when soone disturbed my sleep. "I told you we can’t play with her. She’s not like your sister." I’m hearing a young boy’s voice speaking in a different language. "What if Yoru gets mad at us when we wake up his wife?" I didn’t understand anything, but I heard the word ’Yoru’ which is what they call Night.

"Yoru nii-san isn’t an like that."

Okay, that’s enough.

I opened my eyes after hearing a little girl’s voice. There I saw a little girl win twin tails hairstyle wearing a blue dress. It’s Mizuki, she’s with that young boy nad Takahiro standing beside my bed. "Look, she woke up because of you Taka-kun," Mizuki said which I didn’t understand as I get up from the bed. ’I still feel tired. I haven’t been sleeping well.’

"Uhm, do you guys need anything from ?"

Takahiro nudged Mizuki. "She’s talking to you." He said which I didn’t understand again. ’Could they please speak in a language I can understand?’ Despite thinking that, I wanted to be patient with them since they’re children, so I smiled.

"U-Uhm, I-I want to play," Mizuki said in a language I can understand. Even though I’m dead tired, hearing her speak Tagalog made

really happy.

I saw Rika standing near the door. "Okay, but did the two of you eat lunch already?"

Takahiro shook his head. "Mizuki wanted to eat lunch with Noelle." He said. ’He called

Noelle without honorifics. I guess it’s fine since he looks adorable too.’ "You can reject her if you want. We don’t want Yoru to get mad at us." Why would Night get mad? This kid is quite funny.

"Let’s go eat then." I got off the bed. "Oh, but let

wash my face first." Rika attended

to the bathroom after I said that.

"I apologize for not being able to stop them, young miss," Rika said.

I chuckled. "It’s fine. You know I’ve been wanting younger siblings too, but my parents couldn’t fulfill that so I really like being surrounded by children." Growing up as an only child I was always lonely whenever my parents aren’t around, and I only have Andy as my friend.

So people thought that I’m lucky since I can everything all by myself, but I liked to have companions too. "Please prepare our lunch," I told Rika.

"Yes, young miss."

After that, I changed clothes and went out of the bathroom where the two children were waiting for . "Let’s go." I reached out my hands to the two of them. Mizuki shyly accepted but Takahiro was frowning while he looked up at my face.

"I’m too old for holding hands." He said with his arms crossed.

I smiled. "Is that so?"

I was startled when Takahiro suddenly grabbed my hand. "B-But I’ll hold your hand because you might get lost." He said. ’Such a shy child. He’s cute.’

"Aren’t you such a gentleman?" I said and that’s how I saw this proud look on his face.

The three of us went out of the room and Kenji greeted us. "It looks like you beca close with these cuties already," Kenji said referring to Mizuki and Takahiro. "Oh, Taka-sama you’re holding lady Noelle’s hand. What if the young master gets jealous?" He said making

look at Takahiro who suddenly tightened his grip on my hand.

"Y-Yoru’s already an adult and I’m still a child. I can hold Noelle’s hand because she might get lost."

Kenji had this smirk on his face, he was definitely teasing Takahiro. "Is that so? But you know waka is—" I stopped him before he could continue saying nonsense.

"Just accompany us will you?"

Kenji stopped and smiled. "Yes, milady. Follow ." He said and the four of us walked to the dining room. But this one has the sa low table as that from the Yamaguchi household in the Philippines. It’s cozy.

We ate our lunch, Mizuki and Taka were clingy to

and I don’t know why they were like that but I didn’t hate it at all. "Why don’t we sneak into waka’s room?" Kenji told the two as soon as we finished dinner. ’What is he planning this ti?’

"Yoru will get mad if he learned that you’re saying that," Taka said with his arms crossed.

Kenji then pointed at . "He won’t get mad since you’ll be going with his wife." He said causing my forehead to crease. ’Seriously what is he up to?’

Mizuki and Taka looked at

with twinkling eyes. ’No! Even if they don’t get in trouble, I’ll be the one to receive a scolding from Night. And to be honest it doesn’t feel good at all.’ "Please, onee-chan." Mizuki pleaded which made

sigh.

"Fine."

I heard how Kenji chuckled but he led the way to Night’s room. ’Where is Night anyway?’ When we entered the room, Mizuki and Takahiro quickly saw sothing that caught their interest while I just stood in the middle eyeing everything. This looks exactly like the room Night has at ho.

"Aren’t you going to check sothing, milady?" Kenji asked but I ignored him.

"Oh? Look! It’s onee-san."

Taka pointed his hand sowhere causing our eyes to look in that direction. At the farthest end of the room, near the closet, there’s a huge canvas. It’s placed on an easel, and it’s well kept. The mont I looked at the painting, I realized who it was.

It’s Tomoe.

Her appearance looks like she’s dazzling in that painting. She was smiling from ear to ear. It feels like the way it was painted conveys the feelings of the painter.

"Yoru painted that," Taka said. "My sister adores him so much and he also did." He said.

I already know that... but why do I feel weird?
