Sunlight filtered through the thin mist and fell on the street, while the small stream behind Katsuraya trickled, its sound pleasing to the ear.
"Hmm."
Ayatsuki Ayaka let out a cute sniff, her thoughts gradually regaining clarity, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She saw Aozawa watching her.
The gentle gaze seed to lt into a stream, enveloping her completely.
"Good morning, Iroha."
Hearing this greeting, Ayatsuki Ayaka suddenly snapped back to reality, her cheeks instantly flushed red. She hurriedly pulled the thin blanket down to cover her ample chest, and said softly, "Good morning, Aozawa."
The rosy blush spread from her cheeks to her earlobes.
Her bright eyes were like a mist-covered mountain peak after a rainstorm, rising with a bit of ethereal fog.
She thought of the events from last night.
Her heart pounded wildly, unsure of what to say.
Just then, the sliding door suddenly opened.
Takahashi Saeko stood there, her eyes smiling as she said, "Oh my, it seems the two of you had a good ti last night.
Aokun, we’ve entrusted Iroha to you, make sure she doesn’t shed any tears."
"Of course, that’s a given."
Aozawa answered with a serious face.
Ayatsuki Ayaka’s face turned even redder, and she playfully scolded, "Saeko, quickly leave, I’m not dressed yet."
"It’s not like we haven’t bathed together before."
Takahashi Saeko teased, then smacked her forehead and showed a sudden realization, saying, "I get it, now only Aozawa can see your lovely figure."
"There’s no love left between us anymore."
Tama Chan added, pulling a sad expression as though abandoned by a scoundrel.
Ayatsuki Ayaka knew they were joking, and she shyly burrowed into the bedding, her little fists playfully hitting Aozawa’s chest, signaling for him to speak up quickly.
"Alright, don’t tease Iroha like that, she’s shy, let’s close the door first."
"Oh, take your ti, we don’t mind waiting."
Takahashi Saeko smilingly closed the door.
Aozawa looked at Ayatsuki Ayaka’s covered head, stepped forward to hold her, and said softly, "Iroha, they said they don’t mind, should we do a little morning exercise?"
He had used marvelous resurgence on Iroha last night, naturally feeling confident to ask for more.
"Aozawa, what are you thinking? Quickly get dressed."
Ayatsuki Ayaka replied muffled through the blanket.
Last night they had done it while asleep, today both were awake, and people were standing outside the door, how could they do such a thing?
That would be mortifying.
Even her toes curled in embarrassnt.
"Alright," Aozawa chuckled, got up, and got dressed.
Ayatsuki Ayaka continued to hide her face, feeling a bit odd, thinking perhaps she wasn’t as sore as Saeko and Maru suggested.
She thought about this and heard the sound of opening and closing doors, then cautiously poked her head out, confirming she was alone before slowly getting up.
On the floral cloth below, there was a spot of bright red.
Ayatsuki Ayaka’s face remained flushed as she dressed herself, then quickly folded up the fabric, relieved to find no stain on the tatami mat underneath.
She breathed a sigh of relief and found a ssage on her phone.
Opening it, she saw it was a ssage from Kaoru.
"Iroha, wishing you happiness."
Ayatsuki Ayaka’s lips curved into a sweet arc, and she quickly typed back, "Kaoru, I hope you find happiness soon too!"
After hitting send, Ayatsuki Ayaka put away her phone and opened the sliding door.
Takahashi Saeko didn’t continue teasing, fearing she might explode from embarrassnt.
"Let’s get breakfast and enjoy the morning properly."
"Well said!"
Ayatsuki Ayaka, seeing she didn’t bring up the earlier matter, quickly nodded, a smile rising on her face.
...
Adachi District, Ayase.
Sunlight fell on the sturdy villa outside.
The bed was a bit large.
Morimoto Chiyoda woke up, her eyes sweeping the bedroom, everything looked the sa as usual, but the absence of one person in the other room made the place feel empty.
Especially last night.
She really couldn’t fall asleep.
When Aozawa returns, she must send a ssage to Iroha, no, there’s no need.
She could probably tell what happened just from Aozawa’s expression.
Morimoto Chiyoda believed that having experienced a three-person date with her, Iroha’s Thursday date was not just about having fun.
By the evening, there would definitely be an outco.
She got up and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Not too complicated, just fried eggs with two slices of toast, buttered, with lettuce, sandwiched with the fried eggs, and served with a cup of hot coffee.
Of course, Morimoto Chiyoda wasn’t in a hurry to eat, she did so yoga first, alleviating the soreness in her muscles, leaving her feeling refreshing entirely.
She then went to the bathroom to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and finally ate the breakfast on the table.
She tossed the dishes casually into the dishwasher.
Morimoto Chiyoda went to the dressing table for skincare, put on a little makeup, and then sprayed perfu on herself.
After completing these essential tasks before going out, she headed to the entrance, selecting a pair of black long boots from among the shoes there.
Opening the door, the natural breeze, unlike air conditioning, brushed against her cheeks. She looked up; every day in August is good weather in Tokyo.
Morimoto Chiyoda stepped out the front door, preparing to make a trip to the Pri Minister’s residence, unsure of what Kochou had called her for.
...
Chiyoda District, top floor of the Pri Minister’s residence.
Kochou sat in the chair, looking at the plan submitted by Takeda Eijiro.
It involved so hospital restructurings and related asures for citizens’ welfare.
If implented, its dostic impact would far surpass that of the Takamagahara plan.
The Takamagahara plan only adopted certain innovations within academia, even so, the six major conglorates and the original Kumazo Yasuda faced considerable resistance.
Only under the iron hand of Iwasaki Yizo was it smoothly realized to promote special research talents into the Takamagahara plan without sticking to convention.
However, such a plan essentially didn’t suppress the academic atmosphere but forcibly extracted a batch of talent from it.
The series of plans devised by Takeda Eijiro is definitely not about restricting hospitals, but rather, taking bold actions to solve problems from the source.
And related employnt, welfare, etc.
Kochou could imagine what kind of obstacles these plans would face once introduced.
The cabinet, parliant, and forces involving related interests will certainly engage in protest activities.
Of course, those are minor issues.
Kochou wants to achieve big things and won’t be impeded by those difficulties.
Knock, a soft knock sound, the office door was pushed open, the secretary leaned in and said, "Pri Minister, Minister Morimoto is here."
After the words, Morimoto Chiyoda entered the office, glanced at Takeda Eijiro, then turned to Kochou at the top and said, "Pri Minister, what did you want from ?"
"There’s a plan here I want you to take a look at."
Kochou handed over the complete plans formulated by Takeda Eijiro, making good people do good things is her strategy for managing personnel.
Morimoto Chiyoda was overwheld by the thick bundle but reached out to take it nonetheless.
She skimd through rapidly, glancing over the plans.
After finishing, she placed the plans back on Kochou’s desk, sighing, "We’re finally getting rid of fax machines and floppy disks, this is indeed a bold plan."
"That’s right."
Kochou smiled slightly, saying, "To implent this bold plan, I need to ensure Minister Takeda’s safety, I hope you coordinate with the tropolitan Police Departnt.
Assign reliable personnel specifically to protect his safety and prevent any incidents of accidental death from occurring."
Morimoto Chiyoda nodded and said, "Alright, I will discuss with the Okayama Director about asures for protecting Minister Takeda, ensuring he and his family remain safe."
"Very well, I’m confident leaving these matters to you."
Kochou trusted her ability, smiling, "Then you go prepare, I still have specific matters to discuss with Minister Takeda."
"Hmm."
Morimoto Chiyoda nodded, clearly aware that she was being used by Kochou, yet the allure of escaping fax machines and floppy disks was too enticing.
She exited the office, contemplating who to find for Takeda Eijiro’s protection.
Finding reliable personnel is not easy.
Perhaps she should have the intelligence departnt monitor any information relevant to Takeda Eijiro?
Morimoto Chiyoda descended the staircase, pausing at the third floor, deliberately entering the room near the stairwell.
"Minister Morimoto, shouldn’t you have official duties to attend to?"
Miwa Kazuki blocked the doorway.
Morimoto Chiyoda smiled, "No need to be nervous, I just want you to relay my greetings to the young lady.
Simply say, my child and their sa-age girlfriend stayed out overnight yesterday, and officially established their relationship.
She’s a high school student, she should also make an effort, instead of only focusing on studies and neglecting romance."
After saying that, Morimoto Chiyoda gracefully turned around, down the stairs, transferring her internal pressure onto the young lady.
She could imagine just how shocked, helpless, and enraged the young lady would be upon hearing these words.
Truly interesting.
Unfortunately, due to her official duties, she couldn’t stay to witness it firsthand.
Miwa Kazuki blinked, sowhat dumbfounded, thinking Morimoto Chiyoda’s words sounded completely nonsensical, did they really hold any value for relaying?
Though that’s what Miwa Kazuki thought, he still decided to pass it on to the young lady.
As a butler, he couldn’t substitute the young lady in deciding anything; whether those words were worthwhile is for her to determine.
Not for him to assess those matters.
Miwa Kazuki continued guarding outside, after the first class in the morning ended, he carried coffee and cookies into the classroom, placed them on Phoenix Academy Maggie’s desk, softly saying, "Young lady, Minister Morimoto earlier said so strange things to at the door, and asked to relay them to you."
Phoenix Academy Maggie knew you can’t expect anything good from certain mouths, yet she wouldn’t fear any provocation from Morimoto Chiyoda.
She picked up the coffee, her lips forming a confident arc, "Go ahead."
"Right, it was like this..."
Miwa Kazuki truthfully recounted what he heard, eyes glancing at the young lady.
The smile on Phoenix Academy Maggie’s face didn’t change, making it impossible for Miwa Kazuki to gauge any of her thoughts.
"Tch, she really is boring, get a blueberry cake."
"Understood."
Miwa Kazuki nodded, thinking Morimoto Chiyoda truly is peculiar, urging the young lady to pursue romance.
Truly laughable, how could the young lady ever fancy the boys at school, let alone be swayed by such affairs?
He turned and left.
Phoenix Academy Maggie could no longer control her hand holding the coffee, it trembled uncontrollably.
