547 This is everything that I think (1/2)

”That's about everything. I hope that you understand what I mean.”

Seiji ended the phone conversation after saying that.

Why did it feel like he had just proposed marriage to Natsuya over the phone!?

Seiji inwardly commented on his own actions after he took some time to calm down.

Even though he wanted to express that he wouldn't give up, his meaning became slightly distorted due to Natsuya's question. Not to mention, he wasn't able to focus fully, so it ended up sounding almost like a marriage proposal…

They weren't even officially boyfriend and girlfriend, so weren't they skipping over too many steps!!

Should he call Natsuya again and calmly explain things to her?

'No… the more I explain, the more chaotic it will get. I think that she'll understand what I meant,' Seiji thought to himself.

The student council president was currently busy with being in a state of bliss.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was still someone with her, she might have remained in this state for a very long time.

”Could I ask what Seiji said just now?” Chiaki spoke after seeing that Natsuya had finally somewhat calmed down.

”He said… something that made me truly happy,” Natsuya spoke gently as something flashed in her eyes.

Although that sounded almost like a marriage proposal just now, she was able to understand what Seiji truly meant after she calmed down.

He wouldn't give up, and he was willing to face any pressure and resolved himself to continue his relationship with her and continue improving their feelings for each other… it wasn't that he was saying he wanted to get engaged to her right here and now.

She was quite happy to learn that he shared romantic feelings with her.

And so, she was able to confirm what she wanted as well.

”Wakaba-san, I agree to what you're offering to me,” Natsuya made her reply.

Chiaki instantly widened her eyes in surprise.

”Really?” Chiaki never expected Natsuya to agree so easily right after that conversation with Seiji!

”For real.” Natsuya nodded slightly in confirmation and appeared quite calm.

Chiaki truly felt that the scion had an unshakable presence to her and felt that calling her an ”Empress” was a truly suitable nickname.

Natsuya was beautiful and out of this world, emotional yet also reasonable, and had her own truly imposing aura that was different from everyone else…

'No, if I keep thinking along these lines, I'll start falling in love with her instead!'

Once again, the tomboy stopped her mind from going off track.

”Thank you... I shall do good at what I should do.”

”I look forward to your actions, Wakaba-san.”

-----

Later that afternoon.

Seiji once again received another phone call from Aoran Yoruhana.

”I'm free right now.”

”Could you come visit the Yoruhana Family's residence, then?”

”Sure.” Seiji decided to directly accept.

He then notified Shika that he was going out and prepared his things.

Shika silently watched him exiting the apartment as something flashed in her eyes.

Seiji took a taxi to the Yoruhana Family residence's address.

When he arrived, as he expected, he saw a magnificent gate before the residence.

The gate opened and allowed him to enter on foot. Seiji saw that a black luxury car was parked at the entrance of the gate. This car was waiting specially for him to pick him up.

Seiji got on the luxury car. The car drove down the a forested path and brought him to an extravagant Sakura Island residence.

A maid wearing traditional Sakura Island attire was waiting for him and led him inside.

Seiji was led to a spacious and well-lit room. He could see a beautiful and elegant garden through the window with wonderful scenery.

A young man wearing plain Sakura Island attire was sitting at a table. This man had short dark-brown hair, a rather round face, and was somewhat pudgy. He still had a handsome appearance, and physically resembled Natsuya.

Many desserts and some tea were set out on the table in front of this man. Every confectionery was highly exquisite. There were desserts in both the Sakura Island style as well as the Huaxia style. The most eye-catching dessert was a small plate of white rabbit-shaped dumplings.

”Pleased to meet you. Good afternoon, Haruta-san.” The young man—Aoran Yoruhana smiled as he looked towards Seiji.

”Pleased to meet you. Good afternoon, Yoruhana-san,” Seiji responded with the same greeting.

”Welcome. Please take a seat and try some of these desserts.” Aoran indicated to him while pouring some tea for Seiji. ”I hope that they're to your liking.”

Seiji sat down across from Aoran.

”I'll make myself at home, then.” Seiji picked up some chopsticks and took a white and soft dumpling, placing it in his mouth.

With a single bite, he instantly felt an appetizing aroma spreading through his mouth. The dumpling was soft and tender, and the meat was fragrant. The fresh scent of shrimp filled the dumpling.

Aoran smiled and asked, ”How is it?”

”Delicious… this shrimp dumpling is quite wonderful,” Seiji replied.
