Chapter 1070 Tokyo Illusion Part 8
YUHI
"The entertainment industry has changed a lot since I got back. You've really made your mark haven't you?" Yuhi said.
Yuhi knew Sumire would make changes while he was gone, but he didn't think it would change this much. "I am actually seeing other idols working on their skills now instead of their appearance."
Although there were idols who worked hard on those before all of this. It's impressive that Sumire managed to change the minds of the ones who only focused on their looks and acting cute.
Sumire's gaze brightened. "This is only the beginning. When I return to Star town, I plan to do so much more."
Hearing those words, Yuhi suddenly felt uneasy.
"You mean, when we return to Star town." Yuhi corrected.
Sumire nodded. "Of course I won't leave you my dear, you're my human water bottle."
Yuhi smirked. "The lady is being very modest, she should just admit how fond of my body she is."
"I will admit, it is very nice." Sumire trailed off. "It's a shame I can't explore tonight."
After she said that Yuhi felt the girls passionate gaze on his body and cursed. 'I need to stop teasing her, it always ends badly for me.
"Miya is doing really well, and she accepted my invitation to become part of the same team. But, I need another member to further my plans."
"Why don't you ask Renna? She can sing quite well and you did want another newbie."
Sumire nodded. "I was thinking that too, but I just didn't know how she would react. It's true we became friends when she served as my ladies maid, but we were not as close. Yuhi-san, you would know more about her wouldn't you?"
Yuhi nodded as he explained their first encounter of the girl in the M5 manor. "At first we worried that a fangirl slipped through the security but considering how she had a blade at Ran's throat, we almost thought she was an assassin."
Sumire laughed. "But isn't she?"
"Well officially yeah, but I doubt she came there to assinate either of us. It seemed like she did that because Ran provoked her. While Renna took the brunt of his insults, Ran crossed the line insulting Soujiro. At least this is what Jun told me. He was silently watching the entire thing from the corner of the room." Yuhi shakes his head. "It's a good thing we have Kou, he is like a bomb defuser."
Sumire giggled. "He really is good at dissolving arguments." She trailed off. "I see, so there is a background history between the two."
"There is, unfortunately Ran is keeping his mouth shut." Yuhi shakes his head seeing the glimmer in her eyes. "Don't get involved."
"Eh? I wouldn't do something like that. I'm not a nosy person."
She isn't but she ends up getting dragged into others problems. With Sumire's personality she definitely won't be able to leave the two alone, now that she has that knowledge. Yuhi kissed her forehead.
"Let's go to sleep, we both have free time in the morning. We can call Renna over tomorrow."
______________________
Since they went on a morning walk. Sumire decided to call Renna over to a cafe.
"I would be honoured."
Kusabe Renna's response didn't surprise him. Yuhi knew that Soujiro gave her strict instructions to stay by Sumire's side. Although Renna was already doing a good job following her around, there were certain limitations. This way, Renna can stay by her side instead of protecting her silently.
It seemed like Sumire understood since she asked. "Think about this carefully. The entertainment industry isn't filled with glamour, there is many toxic-"
"I understand, but I am still going to accept. I am honoured that you chose me, and that you're giving me a chance to fulfil a dream that I didn't think was possible anymore."
Yuhi blinked. This must be the first time he is hearing such honest words from Renna.
Hearing that response, Sumire grabbed hold of Renna's hands. "Then, please take care of me."
Hearing a chuckle, the three of them look towards the direction of the sound.
It was Kou, Kou slides in the seat beside Renna.
"Ooh, what's this? A private meeting? How mean."
Renna exhales deeply. "Maon-san, you've been following me around since you got back. I knew I didn't have to invite you."
Kou winks. "Of course I have to follow when I knew you'd be seeing Mimi."
Sumire giggled. "You're still the same." She trailed off. "Welcome back. I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you much since you got back."
"It's fine, we all know how busy you've been and Yu-Yu over here hogs you whenever we have the same jobs."
Sumire snuggled into his hold. "My dear understands what I want, it must be telepathy."
Yuhi chuckled as he leaned down and lightly kissed her lips. Sumire puffed her cheeks. "That wasn't proper! Give me another."
Yuhi laughed. "Then I'll kiss your cheek."
"No! By proper you have to stick your tongue inside."
Kou sweat fell. "Mimi, that wouldn't be proper. That would be inappropriate."
"Then my dear, you can be inappropriate with me." Sumire announced.
Yuhi looked at her speechless. How is he supposed to hold his desires back for her when she behaves this way? When they get home, he really needs to have a word with her about?this behaviour of his.
Before he could say anything, someone hit Sumire across the head. It was Ran, who took the other seat beside Sumire.
"You really are shameless. Do you have any idea what kinds of things the media is writing about you because you act like this?"
Sumire rolled her eyes. "They'd write about me regardless. So, it's a good thing I can control what they write."
"I don't think you really have control."
"Aren't they writing about my undying love for my dearest?"
Her undying love huh? Indeed, no matter how much time passes by. Sumire's feelings for him have remained unchanged. Even when she was in other relationships, her love never vanished. She just had to bury it away.
Jun uses this time to slide into the seat beside Kou and pushes his laptop across the table. "The articles aren't that bad, there are some malicious comments but the general public thinking it's really sweet how direct Sumire-san is being."
Sumire's eyes brightened. "See, my fans understand! The direct approach is better."
The direct approach huh? It didn't take him long to realize that Sumire preferred people to be blunt with her. Knowing she was that way, he decided that confessing to her directly was better than putting it off any longer. 'I was always going to confess.'
