In Tokyo: They are heavily dependent on me

Chapter 84. Taking Away

"Oh, this is Yanagi no Shita, the department head who went to the same high school as me. She wants to try the new ramen shop."

"This is Aozora Asuka, a ramen shop employee."

Since losing her identity as an "idol," Aozora-chan has become bad at dealing with strangers. Usually, Rin is the one who greets customers when they come to the store, making Aozora-chan seem like a mascot in comparison.

Knowing this, Xun took the initiative to introduce herself on her behalf.

"Kaoru-kun... no matter what, you can't let a child work."

Department Head Yanagi is exceptionally tall, a unique figure among girls.

Therefore, upon seeing the petite Aozora, she instinctively misunderstood.

"She's not a child anymore, Asuka-chan is an adult."

Aozora muttered in an unpleasant tone, as if she felt looked down upon.

Yanagi was clearly surprised by her words, his lips slightly parted, revealing a "you're kidding me" expression.

At that moment, Kaoru noticed that Rin didn't seem to be at the ramen shop.

"Where did Rin go?"

"I just went out."

"Did you say what you were going to do?"

"As for that... Asuka-chan doesn't know."

As Kaoru speculated about some places Rin might go, Yanagi pointed to the stairs on the other side of the ramen shop and spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Kaoru-kun, is that where you sleep? Can I go up and take a look?"

"this......"

"That won't work..."

Liu Zhixia lowered her tail like a dog rejected by its owner.

"I didn't say no, but you can't go into Rin's room. If you want to see her, you can only stay in my room."

"Oh...I understand."

Liu Zhixia behaved very obediently.

Rin hasn't come back yet. I'll explain it to her when she gets back.

With that in mind, Kaoru took the initiative to lead the way.

He walked through the poorly visible stairwell area and opened the bedroom door.

A sliding wardrobe that can hold a lot of clothes is placed to the side of the entrance. In the middle of the room is a wooden bed that can barely fit two people. Near the window is a desk that is densely filled with books. It is crowded, but very neat.

Liu sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Has Kaoru-kun always lived here?"

She asked in a somewhat surprised voice.

"Yes, that's right."

"Won't it feel crowded?"

"No, rather... this size is just right."

"Oh...I see."

Perhaps because it was her first time in a room of the opposite sex, Ruri Yanagi seemed a little reserved. Her toes, which were pressed together, rubbed up and down repeatedly. Her profile, which was exposed to the view, was slightly red. She looked very cute like this. Kaoru sat down next to her.

With the weight of two people on it, that area sank in slightly.

"Kaoru-kun...you've been staring at me ever since the beginning."

"Because the minister is cute."

Is it true?

"Of course it's true."

Unable to contain herself any longer, Kaoru immediately pounced on him.

He pressed the burning-hot Yanagi down beneath him, brought his face close, skillfully found the position of her lips, and pressed all his weight onto them.

Because she was wearing a shirt, it took some time to unbutton it. Minister Yanagi's skin, which had been honed through hard work, was noticeably rougher than that of the young lady. When her fingertips ran over it, she could feel the faint muscle lines. Kaoru unbuttoned all the buttons on her shirt, leaving it open as if she were peeling a banana.

Kaoru raised her face and looked at Yanagi no Shita, whose expression had become incredibly distorted and provocative.

That once handsome, masculine face was now filled with a strange, demanding emotion.

Even with her eyes burning and her lips tightly clenched, Minister Yanagi no Shita was far more adorable than usual.

"Minister Yanagi no Shita, Miss probably didn't know you had this side to you."

"You are now... cuter and more charming than the young lady."

Seeing her looking like she was trying her best to endure it, Kaoru showed an expression of enjoyment.

Then he bent down and began to greedily enjoy the abundant fruit.

......

------------

"See you next time, Minister Yanagi no Shita."

"Mmm, thank you for your hospitality, Kaoru-kun. The ramen was delicious."

After waving goodbye to Minister Yanagi, Kaoru returned to the ramen shop and glanced at the time.

An hour had passed and Rin still hadn't returned, which made him a little worried.

Why don't you call and ask?

Xun took out her phone.

------------

"What's wrong, brother?"

Hoshino Rin held her buzzing phone to her ear and responded to the voice on the other end of the line in a somewhat indifferent tone.

"I heard from Aozora-chan that you went out, and an hour has passed and you still haven't come back. I'm a little worried about you."

"Really? Don't worry about me, brother."

"When does Rin plan to come back?"

"Well..."

When you stand up after maintaining the same posture for a long time, you immediately feel soreness.

Rin opened the sliding door of the wardrobe, revealing a bedsheet that had become a mess. She went to the bedroom door, opened it, and then returned to her room, her lifeless eyes staring blankly at the lit-up phone screen.

"I've been back for a while now, and I've been sleeping in my room. Don't worry about me, brother."

"Huh? So you were already back?"

"Hmm... I was sleeping soundly, but my brother's phone call woke me up."

"Sorry! I didn't know Rin was sleeping!"

The call was disconnected.

Are you sick?

Lying in bed, staring at the unchanging ceiling above her head, such thoughts surfaced in Rin's mind.

Why don't you want your brother to be with other women no matter what?

In order to keep those troublesome women away from her brother, she went to great lengths and spent a lot of time spreading rumors on the Kosaki High School forum that "Hoshino-kun is the kind of person who likes to play with girls' feelings and bodies," making this non-existent matter known to everyone and causing an uncontrollable situation.

That's wrong.

She knew perfectly well that spreading those non-existent rumors would definitely affect her brother's life and might even lead to him being ostracized by others at school. She knew it was wrong... but the thought of him having intimate contact with other girls made her lose control of herself.

By the time you realize that what you did was wrong, things have already progressed to an irreversible point.

Why did things turn out like this?

When exactly did this strange feeling arise?

A feeling of confusion.

Rin closed her eyes.

Deep in his throat... he made a tired sound.

"elder brother......"

"It's going to be taken away."
