I call Lida into my room and we watch YouTube together on the computer. She stayed on my lap the whole time.

She also demanded that I put my hand on her stomach, and I held her tightly as we watched the videos – but I couldn’t concentrate at all.

“.. It’s time to go .....”

“Oh, yeah, .....”

It all happened so fast.

I never thought that the time I spent with Lida would feel so short. .... I was feeling the ultimate happiness. I’m going to hate you, theory of relativity.

When I tried to stand up, Lida turned around and pushed me down. Normally, it’s the other way around, but .... I have three minutes left.

Lida, who gives me a short kiss, said sadly.

“Oojirou, .... you can kiss me all day long, okay?”

“.... That’s not fair. But I’m glad you feel that way.”

“You can kiss me all day, too.”

“You’re an idiot. What are you talking about this early in the morning? Thank you.....”

Honestly, I wish I could stay here with Lida.

But a promise is a promise.

I am a man who keeps his promises.

So, as a way of “thanking” her at least, I gave her a gentle hug.

◆

It was time for the appointment.

The time was 10 am.

I received a message on line at exactly the right time. Right on time, as expected of the president.

“I’ve arrived. I’m in front of Kamchatka-so.”

“Understood .....”

Lida came to see me off at the door.

Perhaps it was because we had flirted so much earlier, but her expression was relaxed. She seemed to trust me. I was happy to see that.

“Well, I’m off.”

“Have a good day.”

Like a newlywed husband and wife, I walked out.

A Lexus (LS) was parked in front of my apartment. It was clearly that kind of ..... luxury car like that, no doubt.

As expected, the president appeared from inside the Lexus.

“Good morning, Kamishiro-kun.”

“Oh ...., good morning. This is also a great car.... There’s no way the president is driving, is there?”

“No, of course not! We have a driver today.”

“What do you mean, a driver?”

“You’ll understand when you get in.”

Will I know it when I get in?

I don’t know what that means.

.... Oh, but.

By the way, there was a woman driving a Lamborghini yesterday when we parted ways. I don’t think that’s her. But I’m sure she and I have no connection.

“.... Who is this?”

“Kamishiro-kun, get in.”

“Oh, .... yes.”

I can’t just stand there and do nothing. I’m nervous about getting into a luxury car.

When I got into the back seat, there was the woman in the black suit with sunglasses that I saw yesterday. The president got into the back seat as well and introduced me to the driver.

“Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Haruka Shinonome.”

A woman in a suit taking off her sunglasses.

The face was definitely Haruka-san’s.....

“Eh .. eh !?”

“Yaho, Kamishiro-kun”

“No, it’s not “Yoho”. What are you doing, Haruka-san?”

“You look surprised!~”

“Of course I’m surprised! You’d think I’d be surprised that the president of the company I’m working for is my driver! Hmmm.... Cousin!?”

“Yes. The Shinonome and Hiyasada families are relatives~. She and I are like real sisters, I guess. Well, that’s why it’s natural for me to drive her around like this.”

I see, today is indeed a Saturday, so the company is closed. Haruka-san’s company is extremely fair, and they have weekends and holidays off. It’s also known as a great place to work, with good benefits.

But it’s a small company, and they don’t have that many employees. And yet, it’s stable.. Oh, so the Hiyasada Conglomerate was behind it.

“We’re all connected now, Kamishiro-kun.”

“Yes, yes, President ..... I was really surprised by this. Probably one of the best in years.”

“It turned out to be a good surprise. Now, sister-sama .... please.”

The president asked Haruka to call her in a way that you don’t often hear. She said, “.... sister-sama”. Is that how you call each other?

“..”

After being overwhelmed in many ways, the car started to move. I’m going to see a movie with the president. Let’s focus on that for now – no, that seemed impossible.

“Kamishiro-kun, let’s have lots of fun on our date today.”

The president boldly rested her head on my right shoulder. ...., the president put her little head on my shoulder! And she’s suddenly attacking me from the get-go!

It’s going to be a great date.
