Kiryuin Fuka's Turn

"Light?"

Just as the boy was contemplating the possible scenarios, Ichinose Honami suddenly opened her eyes and stared unblinkingly at the man before her.

"What's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru looked at her tenderly; a blush still lingered on the girl's face, making her look even more beautiful.

"Since you have an important meeting tomorrow, you have to promise me one thing."

"What's up?"

"No... flirting, and absolutely no getting involved with women from outside the community!"

Ichinose Honami suddenly sat up straight, bringing her small face close to his eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just going to a business meeting, not going out for fun."

Hashiba Hikaru touched her long hair and said with a smile, "It's not like you're involved with women in society at all."

"But I think the more important the business occasion, the more likely you are to see a beautiful secretary or a female public relations officer at a dinner party. Those are all bad women!"

Ichinose Honami spoke with great certainty, and it was unclear where she had learned these things.

"... You didn't learn all of this from TV dramas, did you?"

Hashiba Hikaru rubbed her temples, exasperated by her girlfriend's astonishingly wild imagination.

"That's right, you just have to promise me you won't have any affairs!"

Ichinose Honami didn't seem to intend to let him off so easily, and continued to emphasize it earnestly.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, I will never say another word to women in society."

That's more like it.

Ichinose Honami rested her head on her boyfriend's shoulder, pouted, and said, "I just had a very short dream, I dreamt that..."

What did you dream about?

"I dreamt that a bad woman was pursuing me, and she was even older than me."

"Hahaha, what an idiot~"

The next morning, at 6:30 AM.

After Hashiba Hikaru finished washing up, since Ichinose Honami was still asleep, the boy quietly pushed open the door and left the dormitory building alone.

As she approached the school gate, Hashiba Hikaru saw a long luxury car parked there.

"Is this... Bentley?"

Although his knowledge of cars was limited, the boy immediately recognized the model of the car.

Its long, elegant body exudes sophistication and prestige, making it the vehicle of choice for the wealthy elites and leaving a lasting impression at first glance.

Hashiba Hikaru thought for a moment. If the market price were accurate, he could probably buy dozens of cars with the money in his account, but he wouldn't need any at school.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a formal suit opened the car door and walked over with a warm smile.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Hashiba?"

"Yes."

"Please get in the car, I'll take you to your hotel now."

The man bent down to open the car door for the boy. Every move he made exuded a natural feeling, without any deliberate attempt to be obsequious, as if serving was his duty.

"How long is the journey?"

Hashiba Hikaru sat in the back seat of the luxury car and asked directly.

"It's been about two hours. Have you had breakfast yet?"

The man started the Bentley, his tone very gentle.

"He only ate one piece of bread."

"Hehe, if you feel hungry, I can take you to get some food first."

"No need, let's go to the hotel first."

"Clear."

Because Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School is built on an Artificial Island, the journey to the main Koenji Family is quite long. However, the driver was very skilled and drove very fast, but Hashiba Hikaru hardly felt any bumps.

The boy leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest for a while.

Last night, he fought multiple rounds of battles with Ichinose Honami, staying up until 3 a. m. before finally falling asleep. He then woke up at 6 a. m. today, leaving the boy completely sleep-deprived.

After catching up on his sleep, when he opened his eyes again, he saw a steel forest of towering buildings outside the window.

"We'll be there in about ten minutes. You can wait a little longer."

"Good."

When the Bentley came to a smooth stop in front of a five-star hotel, the driver quickly got out and opened the car door for Hashiba Hikaru.

"We've arrived at the hotel. You can proceed with check-in now."

"So fast?"

Hashiba Hikaru stopped at the hotel entrance, ready to thank the driver.

Just then, a somewhat familiar female voice suddenly came from the side.

"Hashiba Yujima, what a coincidence!"

"?"

Chapter 778 The Round of Kiryuuin Fuuka.

Upon hearing that somewhat familiar female voice, Hashiba Hikaru's expression changed slightly.

When he turned his head, a tall girl with long silver hair appeared in front of him.

"Kiryuin- senpai! What are you doing here?!"

Hashiba Hikaru was truly shocked by her appearance.

After all, this isn't a school; it's a real off-campus area. Without permission, no one from the school could be here.

"It seems Hashiba is genuinely surprised. I wonder if seeing me here is a pleasant surprise or a shock to you?"

Kiryuuin Fuuka's bright and elegant face wore a smile. The girl, who had already turned eighteen, had shed her immaturity and naivety, and exuded a mature charm.

"Surprise."

Hashiba Hikaru replied calmly, "Senior hasn't answered my question yet."

"Haha, anyway, we still have a whole day to spend together. I'll tell you when I'm in a better mood."

Kiryuuin Fuuka raised an eyebrow and walked up to Hashiba Hikaru with a smile.

Upon seeing the silver-haired girl, the middle-aged man waiting nearby greeted her respectfully, "Good morning, Miss Kiryuin."

"Um."

The silver-haired girl nodded, without even looking at him.

"..."

Hashiba Hikaru, who witnessed this scene, was somewhat surprised, but did not say anything.

The next second, the man's gaze shifted back to the boy.

"Mr. Hashiba, I will pick you up promptly at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Please make sure to arrange your Good Time."

"I will."

"Then I'll take my leave now. I wish you both a pleasant evening."

"..."

After the skilled driver left, Hashiba Hikaru couldn't help but glance at Kiryuuin Fuuka standing beside her.

The girl seemed pleased with his curious gaze, and the curve of her lips became even more pronounced.

"Hmph, aren't you curious, Hashiba?"

"Kiryuin, could it be that you are also...?"

Based on the invitation she received, Hashiba Hikaru quickly formed a guess in her mind, but she wasn't quite sure.

"Didn't I just say I'd answer your question when I'm in a better mood? Let's go check in first."

Kiryuuin Fuuka didn't seem to intend to reveal the answer so quickly. Instead, she grabbed Hashiba Hikaru's arm and dragged him into the lobby of the five-star hotel.

"Okay, can you let go of me first?"

"No way! Don't forget you still owe me a lot of favors, you little ingrate!"

"..."

After the two of them gave their names at the hotel reception, a petite waitress immediately came over. Her greeting was impeccable, and she wore a warm smile.

"Please follow me, esteemed guests, I will lead you to your rooms."

"OK."

The rooms in the five-star hotel were indeed very nice. Hashiba Hikaru and Kiryuuin Fuuka's room numbers were next to each other. When the boy learned of this, his suspicions became even clearer.

However, one question that bothered him was: if Kiryuuin Fuuka was the daughter of a wealthy tycoon, why hadn't he discovered it after interacting with her for so long?

"Hashiba, it's still early, wanna grab something to eat together?"

Just as Hashiba Hikaru was about to catch up on his sleep in his room, Kiryuuin Fuuka knocked on his door.

I'm not hungry now, let's eat lunch later.

The young man rubbed his eyes. He had been busy trading stocks for some time now, and today was a rare opportunity to relax. A feeling of exhaustion washed over him.

"Don't forget you still owe me. I'll treat you to one of my favorite old restaurants."

Looking at the boy lying on the bed, Kiryuuin Fuuka had no reservations at all. She lay down at the head of his bed and spoke directly into Hashiba Hikaru's face.

"... Is it far?"

Sensing the faint, pleasant fragrance wafting towards him, the boy rubbed his nose and instinctively shrank back.

Kiryuuin Fuuka is an undeniable beauty. Although she had confessed her feelings to him before, Hashiba Hikaru hasn't decided yet whether to accept them.

After all, he already has enough people around him; if he were to divide his heart and soul to someone else, he would have to think it over carefully.

Moreover, today we learned that Kiryuuin Fuuka's identity might not be simple, and every choice will have a series of chain reactions.

"It's not far, it only takes about ten minutes to walk there."

"Oh well."

Hashiba Hikaru had no choice but to follow Kiryuuin Fuuka out.

The hotel that the Koenji Family booked for him was located in the heart of Tokyo's commercial district. Standing at the hotel entrance, you could actually see the towering Koenji Building in the distance, which was considered one of the landmarks in the area.

"The weather is lovely today; it's a perfect day for an outing."

Kiryuuin Fuuka walked ahead, with Hashiba Hikaru following closely beside her. The two weren't very close, but because their appearances and figures were so perfectly matched, they looked like a couple at first glance.

After making three turns, the two arrived at the entrance of a very narrow alley.

"The place to eat is inside, junior Hashiba, remember to stick close to me~"

Kiryuuin Fuuka deftly turned sideways, moving forward close to the wall like a nimble crab.

"What a strange itinerary."

Hashiba Hikaru sighed and followed her closely along the wall, just like her. After passing through the narrow alley, the view suddenly opened up.

Not far ahead, there's a restaurant with wooden doors; its name is [Storm Sand].

"This was my Granny Iida's vegetable and beef rice was super delicious!"

Kiryuuin Fuuka smiled and beckoned to the boy behind her, her steps becoming lighter.
