Chapter 129

"Ah, class is about to start, that's all for now, bye-bye~"

"Ah, bye-bye."

The instant she finished answering, Sakurakoji Talent cleverly ended the call, then put away her phone and walked towards the classroom, humming a song.

Although he didn't want to go to class in the first place, I'm really grateful that he was given a legitimate reason to skip it.

After returning to the classroom,

"Shizuka, I have something to do later and need to leave early today. Please let the teacher know."

"Uh, so early today?" Miyako Shizuka frowned awkwardly, pressing her delicate hand to her forehead as she looked at him helplessly.

You've only had one class! You're rushing things too much.

"Well, there's no other way, it's an emergency." He crossed his arms and nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Alright then, is it clothing work again today?"

Let's just say that's how it is.

"Huh??" Miyako Shizuka looked over in surprise.

Half an hour later,

Sakurakoji Talent by the roadside, got into a private car that had come to pick him up.

It happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to contact them beforehand. Besides, since he was visiting someone else's house, he should have brought something as a gift, right?

"Miss, these are the desserts from the underground Cafe you asked me to bring. As you wished, I took a few extra," said Yashiro Ichiyo with a smile, pointing to a large bag full of desserts on the passenger seat.

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Sakurakoji Talent glanced at the dessert and sighed at her attitude.

She was probably doing it on purpose. Even though she was wearing Hanasakigawa's school uniform and in Ogura Asahi's state, when it was just the two of them, she didn't have to be so careful, did she?

Could it be that she was enjoying it too?

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I'd better change my clothes as soon as possible," he said, pulling up the velvet curtain.

After dropping him off at the villa area where Touma Kazusa's family lived in Kita Ward, Yashiro Ichiyo returned the way he came.

He didn't know when he would return, and he didn't want to keep her waiting there. As the head maid, she had a lot to do, and her time was probably more precious than his.

Ding dong~

Standing in front of Touma Kazusa's house, he rang the doorbell.

Ding dong~

There was still no response, but he remained patient. She probably wasn't awake yet at this hour.

Ding dong~

He pressed the doorbell steadily at 30-second intervals, until his hand was slightly numb from the gift bag, before the doorbell was answered and the door to the villa's entrance was opened—he was still locked out of the iron gate.

"Who is it? I'm sleeping."

"Hat jemand Nachrichten erh alten, als ich gerade zurückgekommen bin? (Did anyone receive the news as soon as I got back?)"

"Ich bin immer noch im Rückzug. (I'm still jet-lagged.)"

To Sakurakoji Talent's surprise, the person who came out of the door was not Touma Kazusa, but a woman with short, neat black hair, exuding a mature aura and looking young.

She rubbed her eyes sleepily, seemingly just woken up by his doorbell.

He knew who the other person was at a glance.

Touma Yoko, Touma Kazusa's biological mother, is an internationally renowned Piano and the owner of this house.

Has she returned from abroad? When? He was somewhat surprised.

According to the original plot, he thought she wouldn't return to China for another six months. But then again, no one says she can only come back once a year...

Seeing her like this, he felt a little embarrassed.

Last time you came over, you woke up Touma Kazusa. Did you wake up her mother this time?

Is it that he has a special talent for waking up their family, or that the two of them are truly a mother and daughter?

But since he was already there, he couldn't just run away as soon as he saw the other party's parents, even though she was a top expert in her field.

"Tut mir leid, dass ich Sie gest? rt habe. (I'm sorry to bother you.)"

"Ich bin ein Freund des jungen Besitzers dieses Hauses." (I am a friend of the young owner of this house.)

"Jemand interessiert sich dafür, dass sie die Schule verlassen hat. (Someone is concerned that she hasn't gone to school.)"

"Komm und schau mich an. (I was asked to come and take a look.)"

Out of politeness, he responded in German.

So, although her base of operations is in Europe, she spends most of her time in Vienna, Austria, a German -speaking region.

He swore that this was not something he wanted to show off.

"Oh dear, sorry, I just got back to Japan and haven't quite recovered yet." Hearing his voice, Touma Yoko snapped out of her daze, switched back to Japanese, and smiled in response.

However, upon seeing Sakurakoji Talent's face, she froze on the spot, her smile vanished instantly, and her slightly sleepy eyes snapped open.

"White hair and red eyes, beautiful long hair, a fairly good-looking face..." she murmured to herself.

The moment she saw him, the information that Touma Kazusa had told her a couple of days earlier instantly came back to mind.

This child is definitely the one Kazusa was talking about!

"This is hardly considered pretty! That child is really..." She pressed her eyebrows, exasperated, at her wit's end with her daughter.

Who did he inherit this troublesome, arrogant personality from?

"That... Private Marseille?"

Noticing that she would suddenly stop talking, stand awkwardly in place, and remain silent for a long time, Sakurakoji Talent tried to get her attention.

After all, what I'm holding is quite heavy.

"Ah, ah! I'm so sorry to have left you standing there!" Touma Yoko quickly stepped forward, opened the courtyard gate, and invited him in, her expression and smile incredibly warm.

"You must be the White-Haired Boy, right? Please come in!"

"White-Haired Boy?" He was completely confused. What kind of nickname was that?

"Kazusa mentioned you to me, and I recognized you at a glance!" She puffed out her chest proudly, though it was unclear what she was so proud of.

"I see. You must be..."

"Hey~ Hey! I'm Kazusa's mother, Touma Yoko! I heard from Kazusa that you also studied Piano, perhaps you've heard of it?"

"Yes, Aunt Yoko, you're quite famous, of course I've heard of you."

"Haha, it's alright. Come on, don't be shy, order whatever you like!" After leading him into the building, Touma Yoko closed the door.

Following behind her, Sakurakoji Talent entered the living room he had visited before.

"This is a gift I brought as a souvenir; please accept it." He handed the item to the other person.

I secretly rejoiced that I had brought something with me today, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

Originally, I thought it would be a gift to Touma Kazusa if she got sick, or a snack to feed her if she didn't. I didn't expect it to have such an unexpected effect.

"You're here now, why did you bring anything? Wow~ this is a bit heavy, is it alcohol?" Touma Yoko guessed as she took the package.

"No, it's dessert."

"Oh, so it's... a dessert?!" Touma Yoko's eyes lit up, and her smile deepened.

"You're too kind! I'll accept this on Kazusa!"

"..." Sakurakoji Talent remained silent.

Speaking of which, Touma Kazusa's love for sweets is something she inherited from her.

This guy is a heavyweight when it comes to coffee, he puts in tons of sugar!

"Sorry, Kazusa is still sleeping. Please have a seat, I'll go wake her!" Touma Yoko smiled apologetically, swaying her graceful figure as she walked towards Touma Kazusa's bedroom. "Kazusa! How long are you planning to sleep?"

"Even the White-Haired Boy is here!!"

No, you don't seem to have the right to say that about her... He thought to himself, staring at her retreating figure.

Why did you come here today?

Leaning back on the sofa, her ample bosom swaying in her arms, Touma Kazusa, who had been violently woken up, asked in a muffled tone of dissatisfaction.

"Because Yukina said you hadn't been to class for two days, she was worried something might have happened to you." Sakurakoji Talent, standing in the kitchen nearby, brewed himself some tea and casually replied:

"Although I guess you just wanted to skip class, so it's nothing serious, she doesn't know that, does she?"

"That's why I told you long ago, if you continue to skip classes without a reason, that Her Highness the Princess will definitely come knocking on your door sooner or later."

"If you find it troublesome, how about you just attend classes regularly from now on?"

"Speaking of which," he returned carrying a teapot and water cup, looking around, "Where is Aunt Yoko?"

"She probably went to wash up and get ready. I saw her face just now... I guess she just woke up." Touma Kazusa puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, annoyed by Kogisora Yukina's meddling.

"That's why I said I'm not good at dealing with her. Why does she have to be so concerned about even whether I go to school or not?"

"That's her personal charm, though she can be a bit troublesome at times." He blew on the steaming tea.

His nonchalant, self-assured attitude, as if he were in his own home, infuriated Touma Kazusa even more. She couldn't help but kick him with her slipper. "I want some too!"

"It's all in the pot, pour it yourself." He had expected this.

"..." She gave a soft snort, feeling annoyed that her scheme had failed, and obediently poured herself a glass.

Just then, she noticed the bag of desserts he had brought, her eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "What's in there? A bento box or desserts?"

"... You have a really keen sense for this, I'm impressed."

"Stop talking nonsense! Are you going to talk or not?"

"Okay, okay, it's dessert." He shook his head helplessly.

Hearing that it was just as she expected, she immediately forgot all her earlier displeasure and morning grumpiness.

I tore open the beautiful packaging and took out all the contents.

I picked one up casually, humming a cheerful Piano tune, opened the box, and started eating.

The delicious taste brought her ultimate satisfaction, making her squint her cat-like eyes in blissful contentment as she rested her chin on her hand.

"You haven't brushed your teeth yet..." Although it was too late, Sakurakoji Talent still tried to remind him.

"It's the same if you brush it later, it's okay!" Touma Kazusa said without any concern.

"But eating sweets for breakfast can easily lead to weight gain, right?"

"I've been living like this for over ten years, it's fine. Like that woman, I'm the type who can eat whatever I want and never gain weight!"

"Is that so..." He was speechless and could only give up trying to persuade her.

After all, she was right. Unlike some woman who pretends to be serious by joking during a band meeting, she really does have this constitution!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to eat so much sugar and sweets for so many years and still maintain such a perfect figure with a more curvaceous bust and hips and a slender abdomen than Kogisora Yukina.

Eating sugar like it's food and not getting fat is something countless men and women around the world envy, Sakurakoji Talent silently sighed.

Unlike some people who claim they won't gain weight and don't need to worry, but secretly only dare to eat compressed biscuits and protein powder for every meal to control their diet.

Tsk tsk tsk... You're right, aren't you, Hachiman Kairin?

The air was filled with the delicate aroma of tea. He sipped his tea, enjoying a moment of peace. Beside him, the black-haired Little Hamster ate its food quickly and in small bites. This quiet scene was quite pleasant.

However, this silence was soon shattered by a piercing loud noise.
