Chapter 22 (Part 2) – Gunjo (From Chihiro’s Perspective)
“Chi-chan, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine! Miko-chan looked really cool back there.”
“Can I say thank you?”
“You can totally say thank you.”
I wrapped my arms around Miko-chan’s body and hugged her tightly.
When I hold Mikochan tightly, her breasts touch my face and it feels good.
“I love Mikochan~”
I usually want to grow up quickly, but recently, I’ve been thinking it’s okay to stay like this if Mikochan hugs me tightly.
“Collaboration between an angel and a goddess! Can I take a picture?”
“Sure~! Please take one if you can. I’ll cherish it!”
Miko-chan was smiling when suddenly a hand was placed firmly under my arm, and I was pulled away from her.
“Ao-chan?”
I thought, but it wasn’t him.
It was a man I had never seen before, lifting me up.
“Daiki? What’s going on?”
“Seriously, you has no sense of caution.”
“Huh?”
“Boys in his age are already men, you know.”
“So what? I don’t get the point.”
“This is why…”
Miko-chan seemed a little angry.
The man slowly let go of me.
“Iwabuchi-senpai.”
“Oh, Hayama, in the right place. Look for the new Model here. Fast.”
“I’ve already arranged for that.”
“…I see. You’re as reliable as ever, Daiki.”
“Have you fallen for me again?”
“No. I haven’t.”
It seems like this man has feelings for Mikochan.
I waved goodbye to Mikochan, who couldn’t stay with me due to work, and looked at my mother.
“Does that Daiki guy like Miko-chan?”
“That man is Miko-sama’s ex.”
“Huh? Sounds like he still has feelings for her.”
“I can’t stand that guy. I never expected him to come back.”
“Come back? From where?”
“He went abroad for work, broke up with Miko-sama, and went to either the UK or France.”
Wow. Mikochan already has Ao-chan, right? Ao-chan and Mikochan are a great match, so I hope he doesn’t interfere.
A replacement model arrived, and my mother started doing makeup.
“Oh, is this gunjo?”
“Yes! I feel like things go well when I wear this ring.”
The cute model had a ring on her right middle finger with a design that looked like bamboo wrapped around it.
“That’s interesting; it might be fate. You’re going to be a hit!”
“Huh? Why is that?”
“Well, Miko-sama is person in charge of this project development, and it’s a known fact that anyone who participates in Miko-sama’s projects tends to be liked by the staff and becomes successful! Oh, here’s Miko-sama!”
Ahead of my mother waving her hand, Miko-chan was there. Miko-chan came over here with a smile on her face.
“The new model, right?”
“Nice to meet you,” the model said, rising from her chair and bowing.
“Oh, you don’t have to stand up. It’s my pleasure. I’m grateful that you’re here.”
“Miko-sama, she said she gets inspired by the Gunjo ring.”
“Really?”
Miko-chan’s face turned slightly red, and she smiled a bit, looking a bit flustered.
Wow, she looks incredibly cute. Miko-chan really loves Ao-chan, doesn’t she?
“…Such a beautiful person…”
The model murmured in amazement.
I agree.
“Huh? Um, I’m sorry. I got lost in my own world!”
Miko-chan blushed and chuckled, making my heart race.
“I have a Gunjo necklace too.”
“…I’ve never seen that design before?”
“Well, you see, it’s the first necklace Ao-san ever made in his life.” My mother said
“Huh?”
“Satchan and I were classmates with Ao-san in high school, and it was because of that necklace that Ao-san’s brand became ‘gunjo.’ It’s from the deep blue color of the kyanite stone – ‘gunjo.'”
“Is that so?”
“You didn’t know?”
“I-I didn’t know! W-What should I do? Is it okay to receive something so important?”
Seeing Miko-chan getting flustered, I couldn’t help but smile.
“Miko-chan, you’re going to marry Ao-chan, right? So, it’s okay to keep wearing it. Ao-chan is trying to fill the time you can’t be together with that necklace, so you should wear it all the time.”
Miko-chan’s face rapidly turned redder.
Wow, she looks even cuter like this.
My heart skips a beat as I see Miko-chan blushing all the way to her ears.
Of course, I’m not the only one experiencing this feeling, as Senkawa-san is discreetly taking photos with a telephoto camera, trying not to be noticed.
I’ll ask him to make copies later!
If I give them to Ao-chan, he’ll probably buy me anything I want.
I’ll ask for a new video game.
“Are you dating someone from gunjo?”
“Uh, yes.”
Mikochan blushed even more.
“You’re so cute! I admire people who become cute when talking about the person they like! It’s like a dream!”
“Huh! No, it’s not like that…”
Ah, Mikochan is so cute when she gets flustered.
After that, watching Miko-chan blush and get all flustered while being praised by the model’s sparkling eyes, I couldn’t help but imagine that if Ao-chan were here, he might have melted from the cuteness, and I couldn’t stop grinning.
