......

Sorry for the late update.

Because I was dragged to Livehouse by a friend.

I went to a livehouse for the first time in my life.

I thought it would be like Lonely Rock, where you could watch a band perform.

It turned out to be a bit disappointing...it was just a bar with that name.

There was only one keyboard player on the stage who was playing and singing at the same time. There was no serious band of four or five people as expected.

but......

Can a keyboard player really play almost the entire accompaniment of a song by himself?

---

A song about the main character.

I chose this song mainly because the lyrics are a bit too suitable and it's well-known enough.

Although I feel that it would be better to choose something with a heavier metal style, but there are not many people who listen to metal, and the words themselves cannot write a melody at all.

So the songs I choose from now on will basically be chosen based on the lyrics... with an emotional core and so on.

Chapter 68 Is it flying chess this time or...?

As the housekeeper of the Kotobuki family, Saito has worked in this family for more than 50 years.

If we insist on following the legal provisions, Saito would have reached the age of retirement long ago.

After all, his granddaughter is already as old as Kotbuki.

As a butler who has stayed in the Kotobuki family for so many years, although Saito does not dare to claim that he is a member of the Kotobuki family, he has already made preparations to stay in this family for the rest of his life.

He even asked his granddaughter to stay in the family as a maid, hoping to train her to be his future successor.

And looking at the Kotobuki father and son who were currently in a tense situation, he just felt a little helpless compared to the normal lobbyists who would try to persuade both parties to make peace and hope that both parties would take a step back and make a compromise.

What a man will never lack is the struggle with his father.

Such plots often happen in both chaebols and ordinary families. In other words, only the person who truly wins can become the real master of the family.

Perhaps one day, when the head of the family makes a concession, it is time to hand over power to his son.

And Saito, who has watched the current generation of family heads grow up, does not feel too worried about the future of this family.

dong dong——

The butler wearing white gloves knocked on the solid wooden door of the Kotobuki family's study room.

"Enter."

After receiving the permission from the owner inside, Saito gently opened the door and entered quietly.

It's early morning now.

However, the blond man inside was still wearing the clothes from last night and sitting on the office chair.

The dark circles around his eyes could not completely conceal the fatigue shown in his eyes.

"You worked all night without rest again..." Saito shook his head slightly.

"You've been saying this for more than 20 years, and I'm tired of hearing it even if you don't say it." The head of the Qinbuki family didn't care.

"After all, you are no longer a 20-year-old young man, so the burden of staying up late will increase day by day."

"You mean I'm old?"

The man straightened his back.

As if he wanted to prove that his body was still strong.

However, when he straightened his back, his stiff back made a slight joint sound.

There is obviously a big age difference between the master and the butler.

But from the appearance, Saito, who has half white hair, seems to be better than the head of the Kotobuki family.

"I didn't mean that, but as someone who has been there, you should know that if you don't protect your body, the young master may not be able to persist as you did when you were young."

They were obviously words of concern, but Saito's words were a bit harsh and hurt people's hearts.

"Besides, didn't you say before that you still want to support your grandson until he can take charge of his own business?" The butler changed the subject.

"?" The blond man raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Ahem..." Saito coughed dryly. "You also know that I will arrange for someone to clean Master Guang's residence every once in a while, so it is inevitable that some of Master Guang's personal belongings will not be found."

After all, it was a fantasy to ask Qinbuki, who had never even played with a brush or touched a broom in her life, to clean up a house that required several maids to clean all day long.

As a member of a prestigious family, the so-called privacy itself is a fantasy.

"Um...what? Did he buy something weird again?"

"That's right."

"What is it this time? Another flying chess piece? Or some kind of card?"

The head of the Kotobuki family folded his arms and leaned on the comfortable boss chair.

In my mind, I couldn't help but start to recall what I was like when I was young. At that time, I relied on my family's money and bought a lot of gadgets that other boys in the class envied.

However, I gradually began to feel a little sad. At that time, I could never imagine that I would be like this now, staying in the office and at banquets all day long, chatting and laughing with the guys I used to sneer at.

"He can buy whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't buy out the manufacturer."

"It's not such a strange thing..."

Saito is ashamed, what kind of unworthy image does Master Guang have in the eyes of the housekeeper...

Then he took out a flip phone with obvious signs of use from the inner pocket of the butler's suit.

Then click a few times to open the photo album.

Then he reversed the direction, faced his master, placed it on the solid wood table in front of him, and pushed it over.

Then the head of the Kotobuki family also leaned out with interest, wanting to take a closer look.

Then he frowned slightly.

The photo is just a photo taken.

The content is a photo of Kotobuki Hikaru and someone who is probably a female high school student. It is framed in a delicate frame like an oil painting, and is protected by glass on the outside.

The blond boy and the pink-haired girl were holding hands. The same thing was that neither of them dared to look at the camera. Instead, they slightly glanced in the direction of each other.

And the look in his eyes when he frowned seemed to say: "That's it? That's it?"

"The size of this photo is 4 meters by 3 meters."

"?"

The man who heard this fact suddenly looked surprised and couldn't help but click his tongue in shock.

He raised his head and looked directly at Saito, as if he was wondering if he heard something wrong.

"You heard it right, the unit is meters."

"?"

For some reason, the head of the Kotobuki family sighed.

He even started to blush for his son.

"It was found in Master Guang's bedroom."

"?"

"Hang it directly opposite the bed."

"?"

The man thought for a long time.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.

Maybe I'm just thinking about the recent business in the group company, or thinking about why my son is like this, or maybe I'm imagining and thinking...

This is the first thing Kotobuki Mitsuru sees when he wakes up every morning.

Wouldn't he be afraid of being known by others?

"When did this happen?"

"It's been happening for a while."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Or, another meaning.

[Why are you telling me now]

"Ahem...Master Guang suddenly called me last night."

Saito didn't dare not answer and directly told the reason.

"What could happen to him? Did he get into trouble with the police again? Or get into trouble at school again?"

Kotobuki Mitsuru was absent from the school's final exam, and even skipped classes during that period. The phone calls from there started to annoy him again.

"Not really, it's just that Master Guang said that his friends are going to visit him in a few days and asked me to arrange the relevant matters. Maybe the woman in the photo will be there too."

"Why are you asking me about such a thing?"

The head of the Kotobuki family was confused.

Saito is also an old man at home, so he doesn't have to ask himself such things.

"I'm just not sure what standards should be used to decorate and what kind of treatment should be given to guests."

"..."

The head of the Kotobuki family also suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Let's be honest." The man, who had been thinking for a long time, finally said. "Don't embarrass the piano player."

"Yes."

Chapter 69 No time to explain, get in the car

Cicadas are calling.

The sound of cicadas makes people's ears feel uncomfortable.

However, after hearing these sounds, people will also think, 'Ah - summer is finally here. '

But for high school students.

The sign that summer is coming doesn’t seem to be the shrill chirping of cicadas.

It's just a simple leisure time during the summer vacation.

Boom-!

Drinks fell from vending machines on the roadside.

After leaving the station, there is a vending machine next to it.

The three girls gathered together, holding cold drink cans as props to relieve the heat.

Hongxia and Kita waited in the station for a while before finally waiting for Gotou Ichiri, who was belatedly arriving, and then they left the station.

"It's so hot..." Hongxia said helplessly after finishing a third of the bottle of mineral water. "It's completely summer already."

The girls have put on cool summer clothes.

Hongxia was wearing a suspender skirt that was shorter than usual, paired with a simple white T-shirt. The ribbon she wore all the time was now tied to the root of the right suspender.

"Yeah...the temperature became a little unbearable after we left the station..."

Kita took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
