Chapter 558

"But wouldn't that allow them to use your name?"

"..."

He looked her over a few more times.

Although he didn't care much, he was sure the other party would use it for advertising.

If we're talking about whether there was a loss, then it was definitely a huge loss; his name isn't cheap enough to warrant that much.

But for a high school student who desperately needs knowledge, the instinctive choice for most is to seize a free and risk-free opportunity.

While there's nothing wrong with that, choosing a path that's riskier, more difficult, more arduous, and less troublesome for others undoubtedly makes one stand out more.

"I don't care?"

"That won't do either. Please introduce me to that special part-time job instead."

Kawasaki Saki remained resolute.

She may appear cold and aloof, but she's not a hot bitch who accepts gifts from strangers or men indiscriminately.

On the contrary, she is surprisingly a traditional homemaker, as evidenced by her willingness to bear her troubles alone rather than tell her parents or siblings, and even her willingness to give up her job and go home early for her siblings.

"I understand, I'll arrange it for you. Let's exchange contact information first, and I'll send you the work address. We'll schedule it for this Saturday morning, is that okay?"

He switched to the app clone belonging to Sakurakoji Talent and handed over the phone.

There's no need to ask anything else. Starry's job is inhumane for outsiders. If it weren't for him having something on Yukino Shita Yukino... cough cough.

As for the other suggestion that would waste his and Yukino Shita Yukino's time, she would definitely not choose it.

"But this isn't necessarily a bad thing,"

He smiled and reassured her, "I'll have a female senior of your age mentor you. To save time, you can choose to stay at her place on Saturday."

"Besides, her academic grades are also very good. You two can encourage each other to study, which I think would be beneficial for both of you."

I'm sorry, Nanami, it seems like the burden on your shoulders is going to get even heavier...

"Okay! Thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome. I was just giving a little push to those who are working hard. The real focus is on yourselves."

"Oh my~ Sakurakoji, it's rare for you to say something right."

Yukino Shita Yukino her thin lips slightly pursed, crossed her arms and chuckled softly.

"That's strange~ I feel like I've always been like this when I'm talking to you, is it because Yukino Shita- san's comprehension is bad?"

He hummed in response.

"It's also possible that there's something wrong with your memory?"

"Impossible. My memory is almost photographic. For example, the last time you wore a black dress, you didn't choose an invisible bra, and when you angrily knocked over the wine glass, the lace strap was slightly exposed."

"..."

Yukino Shita Yukino's face turned pale with a hint of red; she really wanted to tear his mouth apart.

After resolving matters concerning Starry and Soubu High School, he happily took leave and disappeared, leaving work early.

If there are any issues that Starry can't resolve and aren't urgent, he'll write them down in his notebook and deal with them before his next shift. This was one of the reasons he persuaded Ichiji Hoshika.

If it's urgent... then you can only call him and ask him to handle it promptly; anyway, China Mobile doesn't take much time these days.

That being said, there weren't actually many urgent matters that required his presence, otherwise the Starry wouldn't have been able to operate. It's just that with him around, other tasks would be much more efficient and convenient.

Of course, as the only male employee, dealing with both drunk and sober troublemakers is also one of his current responsibilities.

Although he never showed them the various martial arts skills he had learned since childhood, they could roughly guess his level of martial arts prowess because he could easily complete heavy lifting tasks with effortless ease.

In short, at this time and place, around 7 PM, somewhere in Saitama City...

Ding dong~

"They're here! They're here!"

Behind the door, there were voices accompanied by the hurried sound of slippers, and then—

The door opened, and a girl with yellow-red gradient hair, still wearing her white blouse and blue skirt school uniform, eagerly greeted, "Good evening! Sakurakoji-kun!"

"Good evening, Kitagawa-classmate. Sorry I'm late."

The place he came to was none other than Kitagawa Marin's house.

"Waaaaah~ You're finally here~ Sakurakoji-kun ~"

Kitagawa Marin sniffed, grabbed his wrist, pulled him inside, and quickly closed the door. "I'm starving! Food, food!"

"Okay, it's ready, but it's cold and needs to be warmed up. Please wait a moment."

"Great!"

The two of them, one after the other, easily made their way to the kitchen and dining room.

Kitagawa Marin was radiant, her jade-like arms fluttering in the air, the tips of her nails painted with nail polish resembling miniature butterflies, cute and beautiful.

If Kawasaki Saki is a "gal" in terms of aura, then she's a "gal" in terms of style. Add to that Imai Risa, Kiritani Toko, and others... tsk, among this group of "gals," not a single one is a real delinquent. How embarrassing!

Lost in thought, he went into the kitchen, heated up the food he had brought a little, and prepared to eat.

He had made an appointment with her today to bring her food, so she probably hasn't eaten yet.

Because Kitagawa Marin's cooking skills are impressive, and she lives alone and has always been quite careless with her meals, he decided to bring her more food recently, like today.

However, Saitama lives far away, and it would be strange if he came every day, so he can only come indirectly.

If it were a similarly troubled and beautiful PA, he could deliver meals frequently, especially at lunchtime!

After enrolling in Filia, he can now easily go in on weekdays, pack a few meals, and deliver them to her, solving her problem of two or three meals at once!

Tsk tsk tsk~ If he hadn't needed to make breakfast and bento boxes for Ouka Mai this morning, he would have just gone to Filia for lunch.

The dinner he prepared for Kitagawa Marin was not the food he made in the morning, which had already been eaten. Instead, it was a baked rice dish and vegetable soup that he made in the afternoon using RiNG's kitchen and ingredients, which were also on their menu.

[Note: All the above and previous dishes are from MyGO Episode 2, specifically the menu items written on them when Chihaya Aine was looking through them.]

Wow~ It smells so good and looks so delicious~

Kitagawa Marin peeked out from beside him, quickly sniffing her delicate, white nose, her large, contact-lensed eyes sparkling.

"Sakurakoji-kun! Did you make all of this yourself? That's incredibly amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment~ We'll be able to eat it in a little while."

"Hey~ what are these pizzas, toasts, and hot dogs?"

Here's breakfast for tomorrow morning; just heat it up in the microwave.

"Really?! Thank you!"

"There's also baked cheesecake, which can be enjoyed as an after-dinner snack."

"Sakurakoji-kun!"

"Um?"

"I love you!!!"

Kitagawa Marin held the snacks and hot dogs in her arms, her alluring little mouth, painted with lip gloss, making cute little pouting noises.

"Thank you, I love myself too."

"..."

Chapter 502 The Dress and the Two "Princess"

After a hearty meal and cleaning up the mess, the two lay on the small sofa and bed in her room and started watching movies and just relaxing.

Kitagawa Marin peeled some fruit and put it in a fruit bowl as a snack while watching the movie.

He hadn't slept last night or at noon, just rested with his eyes closed. Now, after dinner, feeling warm and cozy, and being in this dreamlike house, his mind relaxed, and he started to feel sleepy again.

There's no way around it; it's an instinctive habit developed over many years.

Being awake is for work; sleeping is for life.

The anime playing on the monitor was a recommendation from Kitagawa Marin; it seemed to be a new anime from this season, categorized as yuri... She really has no taste, is this what a seasoned otaku is like?

Speaking of which, have I been surrounded by yuri and hentai lately? The number of people around me seems a bit dangerous... or rather, safe?

Hmmmm... For someone who simultaneously holds multiple identities, this is a problem that requires careful consideration.

"Sakurakoji-kun, fruit."

Kitagawa Marin handed him a segment of tangerine and brought it to his lips.

"Thanks."

He took it into his mouth without hesitation, the inner wall gently touching her fingertips.

"!!!"

Kitagawa Marin's body tensed, and she quickly withdrew her arm. Her expression was a mixture of shyness and joy, and her beautiful eyes were wide open as she stared at the screen, though the content was temporarily unable to enter her mind.

"You're welcome..."

Mmm~!!!

No, don't get excited! It was just a brief touch! To be so smitten, you're practically a lovesick girl!

But, but... she glanced furtively at the boy beside her, her heart pounding even harder.

Ugh... She painfully turned her face away, forcing herself not to look at the scenery that was bad for her health.

No matter how many times I watch it, Sakurakoji-kun is still so handsome (beautiful)... He can design and make clothes, cook for me, and is an otaku just like me... He's practically the perfect partner!

Okay, I really want to confess... but if I confess so soon, will he think I'm a frivolous girl?

And if I get rejected, wow~

With mixed feelings of girlish indignation, she stayed by his side and watched the first three episodes with him.

"Kitagawa-classmate, it's getting late. You have class tomorrow morning, so I should probably be going."

Seeing that it was almost time, Sakurakoji Talent also got up to say goodbye.

I glanced at the beautifully drawn and adorable animated series Ed and decided to find some time to watch it all the way through.

"Ah, okay! Sakurakoji-kun should also catch the train home early, right? I understand, I'll walk you to the door!"

She pressed her hand against the floor, her shapely buttocks, hidden by her skirt, sticking out as she casually got up.

Hmm, be careful. He pulled his gaze away from the expanse of white skin and remarked that some children these days develop quite well; otherwise, they wouldn't be models.

Kitagawa Marin bent her beautifully curved long legs, tugged at her stockings which had become a little loose from sitting for so long, her posture light and innocent yet charming.

Let's go!

Unaware of the slightly loose tie and shirt at her chest, she waved her small hand.

"Okay, sure..."

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance.

"By the way, Sakurakoji-kun, although it's not that I want to rush you, how's the progress on the Cosplay Costume?"

She tilted her head curiously, her gradient-colored hair falling down.

If she changed her clothes, toned down her carefree expression, and added a touch of melancholy and maturity to her eyes—that alone would probably be enough for a fashion magazine cover.

"Hmm... it's hard to say, it will probably take some more time."

"I see, that makes sense. After all, Sakurakoji-kun still has studies and work to do. Yeah! Just do what you think is best, no need to rush!"

Kitagawa Marin placed her Hands on her chest to encourage him.

"Okay, we should be able to finish one set this week, and I think we can take photos sometime this month."

"Oh, I see. This month... wait, wait, wait?!?"

Kitagawa Marin widened in disbelief, bloodshot from the effort. "Within this month?!?"

Yes, what's wrong?

"No, it's nothing... I just think it was too fast. Sakurakoji-kun, you're amazing!"
