Chapter 592
This scene unfolded immediately after he rode it back—
A crowd surrounded a horse, their large, colorful eyes, as bright as jewels, gleaming.
Perhaps, liking beautiful things is a common human trait... He deeply understands this.
"This is a birthday gift from Jungo uncle Jun'ga. I've never had a chance to ride it before, so I brought it back today on my way here," he said to his family, including Okura Rumin.
That's right, Okura Rumin also came; she must have gotten the information from Ashiri.
Hmm~ how should I put it~
Although she seemed to accept it on the surface, subtle signs revealed that her reason and sense of rules had not yet fully accepted the situation, and the atmosphere between her and Shiina Mahiru was still somewhat awkward.
It seems necessary to provide her with further "treatment"!
There will be a suitable time in a few days...
"It's called the Radiant Sanctuary, which I chose myself. It's quite docile, so it's okay to ride it. Would you like to try it, Mother?"
He rolled his eyes at Sakurakoji Luna, who was the happiest person present.
Perhaps feeling a sense of familiarity with its hair color, she Kokoro reached out first and gently touched its surface.
"Ugh! Yusei! This guy's fur is warm!"
"Because horses have a lot of calories~" Okura Yusei felt delighted to see her so happy.
It's a cloudy day today, and the ultraviolet radiation isn't strong, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to be out for an extended period.
Rather, the reason they were able to spot him and it so quickly was because they had been having a tea party in the courtyard.
Upon hearing Sakurakoji Luna Sakurakoji Talent's suggestion, Luna's red eyes widened, and she grabbed his sleeve, asking expectantly like a child, "Is it okay?!"
"Sure~" He felt helpless looking at the face that was exactly like his, but looked more like his sister.
If he were to gently pat her head and say they were father and daughter... what is he thinking! Damn it!
Absolutely impossible! How could this old woman be younger than him!
... Speaking of which, I should find a way to treat her next time; I almost forgot.
Perhaps it was because her appearance was so naturally similar to his own that he would occasionally forget that his own mother was also a carrier of a congenital disease!
It wasn't fatal enough, so it wasn't urgent, which is why he only remembered it now.
He himself was able to live a normal life outside from a young age because of his spiritual power, but she couldn't. Emmm... okay~ we'll deal with it together next time, anyway, she's used to it.
Sigh... maybe in Mirai distant future, she'll miss the days when she has to be Kokoro even when going out.
I'll remind her later and tell her to cherish it.
Hopefully, after hearing this, she won't be ungrateful and give me a little flying kick.
"No, but I've never ridden a horse before..."
Having finally received consent, Sakurakoji Luna became hesitant and awkward again. She stood upright with her Hands crossed, eyes closed, and tapped her toes to the beat.
Speak in a slow, elegant, and steady tone and voice:
"If I go up there all at once, won't it make me fall off?"
"Don't misunderstand! I'm just thinking about the many employees in the company!"
"If I were to miss work due to injury, Yachiyo would definitely nag me to death! This is just being cautious!"
I forgot to mention, my own mother is actually a bit of a tsundere... He stared at her with a subtle look in his eyes.
What's going on? This feeling of not being moved at all, but rather strange...
"Then I'll accompany you Luna?" Okura Yusei knelt on one knee, gentlemanly took her left hand, and smiled as he gave her a kiss on the hand. "Is that alright, Princess?"
"Hmph~ Since you put it that way~ it's not impossible~" She readily agreed.
"Ugh~ Whoosh~!" Looking at her lips that were practically flying up to her eyes, Sakurakoji Talent waved his hand and frowned in disgust, feeling nauseous at this display of affection.
"You guys have fun, I need to go back and cook!"
Seeing strangers showing affection makes me feel incredibly sweet, but seeing my parents showing affection just makes me feel disgusted!
But it seems that Ashiri and the others don't think so. Ashiri's eyes are filled with comfort and gentleness for the harmony of the family, while Shiina Mahiru and Hoshino Ai's are filled with envy mixed with expectation... Ignoring their cute expressions of regret and dissatisfaction, he went to the mansion's kitchen.
On the other side, the couple completely disregarded their son's thoughts.
"Even so, it's been years since I've ridden a horse... I wonder if I'll be able to manage?"
"Hey! Prince! How can you give up before you've even started!"
"There's nothing I can do about it~ I've been too busy with work these past few years~"
Although he received elite equestrian training in his teens, that was many years ago, and he didn't ride very often in between...
"Eh~ What a useless Prince ~" Sakurakoji Luna patted the horse's head and pleaded, "Then I can only leave it to you from now on! The Radiant Sanctuary!"
"You'd better be good, okay? If you are, I'll treat you to the finest horse feed flown in from Europe!"
Okura Yusei smiled wryly, then grabbed the horse's reins and nimbly mounted the horse, showing no signs of the stiffness that comes with approaching middle age.
Once seated, he bent down and extended an invitation. "Please mount, Princess ~"
"Oh oh..."
Sakurakoji Luna's skin, even whiter than her daughters', quickly blushed, the color spreading to her ears.
Even if she tried to deny it, she still felt very embarrassed to show affection in front of her juniors.
However, due to physical factors, her physiological reactions are always much more noticeable than those of ordinary people, which has been a source of great distress for her since her student days, despite her strong character.
Nestled in her husband's arms, she glanced down at the subtly amused gazes of the family and maids around her, and immediately gave in. She averted her eyes, fixing them on the horse's mane, while her skin flushed slightly. She quickly urged them on:
"What are you waiting for, Yusei? Let's go!"
If Sakurakoji Talent hadn't entered the house yet, he wouldn't have let such a good opportunity to tease her pass by; he would have definitely kept going until she wanted to punch him.
"Hmm? Oh, hi~" Okura Yusei responded, lightly kicking the horse's flanks, and Radiant Sanctuary raised its hooves and trotted along the wide courtyard.
It was still just a child, yet it was bearing far too much weight that wasn't its own...
Fortunately, neither of them is heavy, and Sakurakoji Luna is especially light; otherwise, after walking all morning, it might have given up.
Chapter 535 Visiting RAS and Supergirl
Before lunch,
Sakurakoji Talent ultimately couldn't withstand the laser-like gazes of those people. With a sigh, he led his girlfriends and sister onto the Radiant Sanctuary and rode around the courtyard for a while.
After it was over, looking at the Radiant Sanctuary, still panting in place, he felt utterly helpless.
It's only a little over a year old, what did it do wrong...?
"You've had a hard day. I'll take you back to the horse farm for dinner later," he said, patting the horse reassuringly and secretly infusing it with a bit of the "five" element's spiritual power.
After lunch, he White Horse out and escorted it back to the horse farm.
Should we build it a stable in the yard? He couldn't help but think this as he watched the horse trainer lead it back to the spacious stable.
Although this horse farm is also owned by the Okura Family, and it doesn't matter if it's located here, if he had a stable at home, he wouldn't have to come over to pick up the horses every time he wants to ride them.
Hmm, let's build one in the corner later, just in case!
Only after seeing the Radiant Sanctuary begin to devour the quantified, finely prepared hay in the iron bucket did he remove his leather gloves and prepare to leave.
Before leaving, he instructed the horse trainer who was standing by, "Please feed it a little more today; it had a lot of exercise this morning."
After all, they carried people one by one, and they hardly stopped at all...
"I understand." The trainer's eyes also showed some heartache.
He could tell at a glance that this beautiful child must be exhausted today; look how hungry the child is...
If you simply love horses, being a horse trainer is a great option, although the workload is heavy and it's more difficult for women to handle.
In addition to training the horses, they are also responsible for scheduling races, managing health, competition levels, and allocating riders. To cope with emergencies, they are on call almost 24 hours a day.
It's easy to imagine that this isn't a position anyone can hold; it's the highest-ranking position in the stables, requiring years of experience.
Other options include stable boy, equine inspector, veterinarian, feeder, stallion manager, foal grower, breeder, and trainer, offering a wide range of choices.
But Okita Sawa didn't want her hard-earned horse to be ridden by someone else, so there was nothing she could do about it.
After leaving the horse farm, he changed his identity to Ogura Asahi and arrived at an apartment building with about thirty floors.
The building is located at an intersection, with podiums of different heights on both sides forming a right angle. The one on the right is already seven stories high, while the one on the left is even taller.
The entrance to the apartment is located in the middle.
He entered the lobby on the first floor without any hindrance, and from the interior decoration, he knew it was another high-end apartment building.
Although it may seem a bit late to say this now, the concept of "apartment" in Japan is actually different from that in China.
In China, apartments are small, temporary, and centralized residences. As commercial buildings, they are subject to stricter restrictions on gas, fire safety, and building age compared to residential buildings.
In Japan, the word "apartment" has two meanings.
One type refers to centralized housing that is not detached houses. Whether it's the two- or three-story low-end apartment where Koto Satsuki lived before, the mid- to high-rise Mansion, or the super high-rise tower like the Ouka Mai, they all fall under the category of residential housing, but are also called apartments.
The second type is the Ten no Yashiro he owns, or the rooms that Miyako Shizuka and the others rent. These are indeed comparable to commercial apartments, which are generally called serviced apartments or commercial-style residential complexes here.
He arrived at the elevator equipped with facial recognition, sent a message to the other party using his phone, and a few seconds later, the other party sent an OK emoji.
A few seconds later, the elevator doors opened, and he stepped inside.
The metallic doors closed, and then the spacious elevator ascended at an extremely fast speed, finally stopping at the R floor, which symbolizes the Roof.
Tsk, that's right, the owner here is another very wealthy woman.
Moreover, it's probably the most luxurious apartment among all the owners...
Ding~!
The private elevator doors, Ouka Mai's house, slowly opened, revealing a small entryway room inside—a truly wonderful experience.
Besides the entryway's decor, there were also girls with alternating blue and pink hair, pretending to be maids, already standing by... How rock and roll!
If you think her hair color has always been like this, you're being naive. She's a die-hard fan of Pastel*Palettes and changes her hair and eye color to match the focus of their show that day.
For example, her current blue-pink hair color should be called Aya Pink + Hina Blue. Other colors include Chisato Yellow, Maya Green, and Eve Purple.
Of course, Ogura Asahi knows that the change in her hair color is actually due to a wig; her original hair color is black—so there's no need to worry about her dyeing it until she goes bald.
He looked this strange... middle school girl up and down.
We've finally met, Nioh Riona!
Who would have thought that this 162cm tall, stylish rock girl is actually a junior high school student, just like Kanau?
However, at school, she was just as quiet as Kanau.
Wow, I'm impressed. Including chu2, these three kids who are the same age are all professional-level—the younger generation is truly formidable.
[Note: The three were born in the same year, but since Kanau and Nioh Riona's birthdays have already passed, they should be considered 15 years old. Tamade Chiyu is 14 years old (but a senior in high school)]
By now, it should be clear that the person he came to see today is the Double R Group " (or "Electric Balance Group ") along with Roselia.
How could he let go of such a powerful band that wasn't even signed yet?
He hadn't been paying much attention to signing anyone lately; he'd been busy trying to recruit Roselia, a band he might be signing. It wasn't until recently, after their live performance, that he suddenly remembered—he was actually a fan of Roselia and Roselia!
However, the reason he hadn't paid attention was because he wasn't too worried about them being poached beforehand.
Because CHU², this wealthy producer, is not short of money, she is very particular about the signing requirements of other agencies. If they don't meet her expectations, she will immediately reject them, and she doesn't know how many people she has rejected so far.
Her biggest concern was whether she could give the band complete creative autonomy—but other conditions couldn't be too bad either.
In other words, besides him, their incredibly good boss, they would find it difficult to immediately find other agencies unless they also had a fan who was a manager act as a go-between...
"You must be Asahi... Lord, right? I am Pareo! Lord Chuchu is waiting for you, please follow me!" Nioh Riona, dressed in a beige casual outfit, bowed and said this.
When his name was mentioned, Nioh Riona hesitated slightly. He could roughly guess why; it was probably because his name coincided with the surname of Asahi Rokka.
Although the spellings are different, they are both pronounced Asahi.
Chuchu is the same as Tamade Chiyu, written as chu2 and pronounced as chuchu.
"You must be PAREO-chan, the Keyboard? Are you a maid?" he asked kindly, while inwardly grumbling.
He seemed like a perfectly normal kid, but what did CHU² turn him into? He'd be willing to be a dog for the taking...
