Chapter 100: Chapter 99: Dinner Date (2)

“Quite an evening, Yuki-sama. Why don’t you two come over and join in my table?”, the guy said.

“Masaki of the Namba Family, I will warn you once again, don’t test my patience.”

But his persistency was top-notch. “Why? I’m just inviting you two, there’s no harm in it.”

Naoki was biting her lips in frustration, and she interjected. “How persistent can you be? We said we’re waiting for someone. You’re practically just annoying at this point, you’re even acting like some bigshot who got looks, but you’re not even that good-looking.”

Instead of getting enraged by what Naoki blatantly said to him, which’s a punch to his face. He only chuckled. “Hahaha, you kept telling me you guys are waiting for someone, but he’s not even here. Come on, we’re the future of high society. Let’s bond and get to know each other, it’s for the prosperity and relationship of both families.”

“Prosperity, huh? Are you even sure that you can do that? With that minuscule brain of yours? I found that hard to believe, ma guy.” I said as I stood behind him.

“Who?!” At last, his last fuse blew up, then he turned around, standing up. But due to the height difference, I’m taller than him by one head, at my shoulder level. He tried scaring me by standing up, but his eyes only met my chest, then his eyes gradually looked up, meeting my gaze. Since our eyes are not at an equal level, I looked down at him. It’s quite funny, to be honest.

Upon meeting my eyes, he was taken back and slightly moved back. As if he’s seeing a ghost right now, noticing his expression. I firmly believed that this guy knew me or has seen me in the past. Taking a close look at his face, I think I’m recalling something.

“Say, how can you accomplish your so-called prosperity? Care to share it with me?” I gave him a condescending smile.

“Y-You... W-Why, a-are you here...”

“Hm? Where’s your cockiness? You kept pestering my women. I’ve been watching behind you. Anyway, I’m still waiting for your reply. For sure, your family is rich and powerful, right?”

“...You! How dare you to humiliate me!”

“Humiliate? This isn’t even humiliation. I’m just questioning you, and you clearly don’t have any answers to provide. That’s not my problem. Perhaps next time, when you started blabbering with that mouth of yours, back it up with something. Right, girls?” I smiled mischievously at the two. Instead of replying, they’re giggling.

“See, come on. What would your family bring to the Hatsumi Corporation?”

He’s gritting his teeth while looking down. “I’m the future head, you’re just a mere lover of her.”

Despite his obvious provocation, I only smiled mysteriously at him. I leaned closer and whispered something to him. “And this mere lover of her is the one who can make your life miserable. Let me make you understand your position. First, you approach my Yuki, like you own the world. But in truth, you’re just a spoiled brat who can’t do anything with daddy’s money.”

Watching his reaction, he stood still as he listens to me. “Remember, your family is not like they’re used to be. Imagine what would happen if the Hatsumi Family decided to crush your family? You would probably be pissing your pants right now. You’re lucky because gramps respects the old head of your family. It would be fun if that respect disappeared because the new ‘future’ of the family decided to lay his hands on his loving granddaughter.”

He gulped, sweats formed on his forehead. Then I continued. “You’re lucky because Yu-chan is a smart who thinks meticulously. If you think that Namba Family and the Hatsumi Family are on an equal footing. I would suggest researching more about it.”

Bit by bit, he started walking backward while shaking, trying to run out of the situation. “Oh one more thing, your date is gone I told them to leave since they’re so eager to get my number. Sorry, about that. So, what’s your reply, Monsieur Namba Masaki?”

At first, I thought he’ll continue talking or punching me, I’m waiting for that. However, he could only grit his teeth, left us in peace without turning back his head. He’s not that stupid as I initially thought. He knows that if things escalate furthermore, it will only worsen his position. I applaud his tiny bit of rational thinking in his brain.

After he left, I sat down in my seat once again. “Yu-chan, just tell him to screw off. Unbelievable, you really sent someone to give me a phone so you can just send me those details about that guy? Truly unbelievable.”

“Oh come on, you did a great job on kicking out that bastard. Aren’t you happy with that? Plus, he won’t find me intimidating or he will only treat it as a flirt, that’s how stupid of a guy that person was.”

“I supposed you’re correct on that one.”

Before I went on my way here, one of the servers handed me a phone. Through that, I received a text message from Yuki telling me every detail of that guy. He’s a very preposterous guy who can’t be dealt with by reasoning, he views females as objects who thought they’re alive to serve him of some sort—A sickening bastard. One of the reasons for that was probably because he’s the same as his father.

He’s been bothering Yuki since last year whenever he would meet her. And every time, he would pursue her with confidence in his look and not afraid of the consequences. I mentioned earlier due to the status of his family, he still perceives themselves as high and mighty one of the large families that’s on an equal footing as the Hatsumi Family. However, those are all wishful thinking because when his father took over, their businesses started declining, and probably after a few more years, they would soon fall into debt. Those were what was stated in the details that Yuki provided to me.

For the college girls, I only met them on the way because they’re going to the bathroom too. When I saw them, they started flirting with me out of nowhere since I recognize their faces because they’re accompanying that guy. A thought emerged in my mind since they’re so eager to get my number. I told them to ditch the guy so I can give them mine.

They easily did what I told them to do. In the end, I gave them my number even though I don’t have my phone.

“What even took you so long, Tatsu?” Naoki asked while puffing her cheeks, obviously upset with me because of the time I spent introducing and greeting Arima’s family.

“I saw Arima here, eating with his family. I greeted him and his family.”

“Really?”

“They only started eating their dinner, we could probably see them on the way out, they’re pretty near the exit.”

“Oh, I see. Let’s greet them on the way out.” Yuki butted in.

Then the desserts arrived. We continued eating before heading out of the restaurant. On our way out, we passed by Arima’s family, they’re still eating. When they noticed us, we only waved at them. The surprised faces when they saw me being accompanied by two beautiful girls amused me. Especially the older brother, he even had his mouth hanging wide open.

Pfft—His brother is really an amusing guy.

I’m resting my head in Naoki’s shoulder, as fatigue took a toll over my body and my brain. I really can’t handle the pressure of eating in a luxurious restaurant, it’s quite annoying because I’m overthinking if I’m doing the right etiquette or am I embarrassing myself.

Haa...

As I’m resting, Naoki was stroking my hair gently while humming a song.

“By the way, Yuki.”

“Yes?”

“From the look of that guy, he’ll surely do something to get back at me. I can see it in his eyes. Instead of getting scared, he’s enraged. Probably, pissed at me. At the back of my head, I think you deliberately planned all of that. Was it gramps who told you that?”

“Hm? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, don’t fool me, Yu-chan. There’s no way you sent me that on the site with how detailed the information and planned on the text you sent me. It’s so obvious.”

“Remember Oye Goro?”

“Yeah? What about him?”

“Namba Masaki and Oye Goro they’re are related, cousins to be exact.”

“Seriously? What are the odds?”

“Not odds, but deliberate. Remember what I said about my transfer in the school were spread among the high society?”

“Yeah?”

“Someone leaked it, that’s what grandfather was trying to search. I’m supposed to live in a disguise, entering the school but before I could even do that, it became well known to the other families. Might as well the same thing with Naoki.”

“Ohhh, I see...”

“As you can see, we’re one of the main targets because of our close relationship with the current head, grandpa.”

“Even Naoki?”

“Of course, grandpa’s close aide was her mother. That’s why, it’s natural if they could build a relationship with her mother that means, a connection with the Hatsumi Family too. Her mother’s ancestry is closely tied with ours, an unbreakable bond co-existed between the Ikeda’s and the Hatsumi’s.”

“Wait, so Ikeda? I thought—”

“Haru-san took his wife’s last name when they got married.”

“Oh, I see. Did you know about this Naoki?”

“Yeah, I’ve learned about it recently,” Naoki responded.

“Let’s continue with our conversation, shall we? First, as I have mentioned that Oye and the Namba family are closely related because of Oye Goro’s mother, Oye Kasumi or Namba Kasumi. The inheritance that Oye Osamu, the shares that he received, was mostly because he married her. With that marriage, the Namba family invested in their company which helped them expand across the prefecture.”

Now, I get it why that bastard reminded me of someone. It was Oye Goro who almost slapped Naoki.

“Naturally, that doesn’t mean they’re a strong family. As you read earlier, their family started declining ever since Namba Masaki’s father took over the family because of the death of the old head, which’s one of the closest friends of grandpa. The Namba household was not in a good state right now, mostly because of the incompetence of the current head who keeps wasting money on investments with no value in it.”

“Like in the case of the Oye construction corporation?”

“Correct, two incompetent leaders who are practically stupid enough to even operate a simple cash register, or do simple mathematical equations.”

“That’s quite harsh...”

“I’m just telling the truth. The Oye family kept expanding outside of Chiba when they’re not even that dominant in there. Their mindset when it comes to business was, expanding the business to other places is beneficial to the growth of their company without considering whether or not it’s profitable. Yes, it’s good for a business to expand but they’re just mindlessly expanding.”

“Pfft—”

Now, that’s how you handle a business like a madman.
