Welcome to the Multi Chapter 77 - 75 ~ Double Date

Chapter 77 - 75 ~ Double Date

Dressed in a checkered blue, white, and black collared shirt over a black t-shirt and long, black jeans, Raku stood in front of the train station while fiddling with his phone. His promised lock necklace dangled down his neck as he looked around once in a while to see if his companions had arrived.

It was the day he had been dreading... The day of his "date" with Chitoge.

He couldn't even begin to explain how much he had been dreading going on a date with such a violent and unreasonable girl. If he had a choice, then he'd rather go on a date with Onodera instead, or not at all.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a say since it was ordered by his father to make sure this fake relationship wasn't found out by the rest of the Shuuei clan mbers. After all, this fake relationship between him and Chitoge was the only thing that's preventing all out war between the Shuuei yakuza clan and Beehive Mafia gang.

Chitoge was similarly dreading it, apparent from the short, concise ssage she sent to Raku to decide on the ti and place of their eting. But, she didn't have a choice in this either. So, both of them had to bite the bullet so that no real bullets would kill mbers of their family's clans.

Thankfully, Yuuji helped him alleviate the situation a bit by turning this date into a "double date". He'll be joining along with Viktoriya on the pretext that he'll be introducing her to the various places in the city, and act as a couple in this fake double date.

With the two of them with him, Raku could finally feel a bit of relief. At the very least, he wouldn't need to face this kind of thing alone...

Just then, he began hearing gasps and whispers coming from people around him. He looked up from his phone and saw many of the females looking in one direction with wide eyes and redly blushing cheeks as they covered their gaping mouths, while the males all had a look of shock on their faces.

It was a familiar sight that had now beco synonymous to a premonition of his arrival. And as Raku expected, he saw Yuuji's figure at the center of everyone's attention and awe.

Dressed in a gray, collared shirt and navy blue jeans with an obsidian diamond necklace that rested right below his bare collar bones, Yuuji's re presence turned heads and stole hearts as he walked towards him.

He was dressed in nothing especially eye-catching, but he looked as if he had just walked out of a fashion magazine for male top models. His chiseled, slim, yet muscular body figure and stunning countenance were the ones that enhanced his fashion instead of the other way around.

Even as a guy, Raku couldn't help but look at him in awe with his mouth agape.

"Hey, did you wait long?"

Yuuji waved his hand in a casual greeting. He had arrived around 15 minutes early from the promised ti, expecting that Raku wouldn't arrive yet given how much he had been dreading it. So he was quite surprised to see him already here.

If he knew he would co early, he would've stopped working on his multiverse ssaging app earlier and gotten here sooner to accompany him.

"Eh?! Ah- No, I just got here."

"I see. Viktoriya will be here soon. How about Chitoge?"

"...I don't know. She might be here soon too, I guess?"

Yuuji looked at him weirdly, slightly surprised.

"Eh? Aren't you in contact with her?"

"Huh? Of course. She sent

the ti and place for our et up."

"... Beyond that?"

"No. Why would we...?"

A sigh escaped Yuuji's lips as he shook his head. And in a slight and inconspicuous movent, Yuuji leaned in towards Raku for a whisper.

"Ryuu and the Shuuei clan guys are already here hiding around us. You should act like you're really dating her."

"H-Huh?! T-They're already here? Where? The date hadn't even started yet!"

Raku glanced around in a panic. He had been saying all this stuff because he believed they'd only co once they begin their date. He didn't know they'd be here already!

He acted as if he didn't care about Chitoge while talking with Yuuji. What if they notice?!

He tried to find even a glimpse of Ryuu and his father's subordinates, but even after finding out that they're here, he couldn't find anyone from his clan.

"You should act better. At least look like you care. I'll do my best to assist you."

"A-Alright... T-Thanks."

Raku took a deep breath and cald himself, steeling his heart and hardening his resolve to do this for his family.

A few minutes later, Chitoge arrived with her ponytail tied by her beloved red ribbon fluttering in the breeze. She wore a cute white top with loose frills around her shoulders and a blue ribbon on her chest, a blue skirt, and a red handbag with a long strap hung over her shoulders.

And the mont she saw Yuuji, she froze mid step and was srized for a mont.

Wow... He looks so cool...!

A loud thump reverberated in her chest, which quickly beca louder and more frequent with every passing mont.

But as she was appreciating his figure, her bubble was popped by the beansprout's voice.

"Y-Yo! Good morning..."

Her eyes narrowed as she shot a glare at him. But when she saw his face, she noticed his forced smile and twitching lips.

What's wrong with this beansprout...? His face looks even weirder than usual.

Such thoughts crossed her mind. But in the next instant, she rembered that Claude and several other mbers of the Beehive gang had also co to watch this date unfold!

Crap! I-I need to act like I like him!!!

Her lips curled into a forced smile and she raised her voice slightly.

"G-Good morning, darling~! I'm sorry for making you wait~!"

Chitoge wanted to barf as she internally cringed at her own voice and action.

And while she was cringing, Yuuji nudged Raku and whispered.

"Complint her outfit."

Imdiately, Raku tried his best to co up with complints to give her.

"Y-You look very good, today! Y-Your outfit is very cute!"

"T-Thanks. Y-You look good too...!"

Raku stamred while he complinted her with a forced smile, and Chitoge returned the complint with twitching lips.

Seeing these two act like this, Yuuji couldn't help but sigh and shake his head inwardly.

I'd rather show Viktoriya around with Mira, Aika, Yuna, and Nina...

Deciding to break the awkward atmosphere, Yuuji intervened with these two awkward people and greeted Chitoge.

"Good morning, Chitoge. You dressed up very nicely. Are you excited for this date?"

"A-Ah, good morning, Yuuji! Y-Yes, I am. T-Thank you so much. Ahahaha!"

A pink blush erged on Chitoge's pale white cheeks, and this ti, her voice was even higher than when she replied to Raku.

She averted her gaze down, occasionally glancing at Yuuji, as she fidgeted with her hands and feet.

"Are your parents doing well? I've heard that your father is doing quite well for himself in Japan, but Hana-san is as busy as ever."

"U-Uhn. Papa is doing well for himself. But mama is... busy. It's just the usual though."

"I see..."

Yuuji frowned slightly when he heard a twinge of sadness leaking out from the tone of her voice as Chitoge failed to mask her true feelings.

Chitoge's mother, Kirisaki Hana, was a world renown business consultant and one of Mira's close friends.

They've been very close since they were young, and although their path began to diverge when Hana chose to focus on her career while Mira chose to focus on her family, they still maintained close contact with each other. Or at least, as much contact as they could considering Hana's packed schedule.

Yuuji also rembered eting her a few tis in the past. Although it was only a few tis and only for a few monts, she treated him very kindly every ti they t and he already considered her his aunt.

But, as perfect as she seed, she was not without fault. She had always been a very driven woman, but she was an especially stubborn one.

Yuuji had always admired her as a businesswoman comparable to even Mira, the person he admired the most in the world. But after seeing how much she neglected Chitoge and her family, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Unlike his step-mother who wholeheartedly took care of their family in exchange for pursuing her career, Hana chose to take her career into the sky and left her family. It was inevitable. After all, there's only so many hours in the day.

Even so... Yuuji still couldn't agree with her decision.

Looking at Chitoge's lonely expression, Yuuji began to think if he could sohow help Hana with her situation...

Perhaps I should make an AI that could help with Hana-san's work...?
