When we arrived in Macau, there was indeed someone waiting for us. He had this placard welcoming us. I immediately messaged Akashi, updating him, since I saw his message to immediately message him if we ever see or not the person with a placard.

He drove us to our hotel and told us that he would be picking us up again on Monday.

At the hotel, we got our own room. Another extravagant single room, with free breakfast included.

That night, I messaged my family that we had arrived already, then also messaged Sayaka and the others. Of course, I messaged Akashi as I need to update him again.

We left our stuff first, and then we went to the venue to familiarize ourselves with the route, we also took pictures since it was our first time here in Macau.

We ate our dinner in a nearby restaurant, ordering some authentic Macau dishes.

After dinner, we returned to our hotel room and rested for the night since we needed to be in the venue early in the morning.

~

Wearing our Rakuzan's Hakama, we went to the venue for our first international tournament.

Surprisingly, I felt nervous seeing all participants from other countries in Asia. Also, remembering what Akashi did, I could now feel the pressure.

But well, all I need is just to shoot as usual.

The problem is,

"Takuya, are you okay?"

"I am actually getting nervous. This is my first international competition. Aren't you nervous?"

"I am nervous, and that's normal, I think."

"You don't look nervous at all!"

I chuckled as I patted his back "well just think of it the usual tournament in Japan. Plus, let's just do the usual. Let's enjoy it so we don't regret it later."

"I envy your positivity," he chuckled, then took a deep breathe "I need to calm down."

There were 30 countries, and surprisingly, there were at least 3 from each country.

"(L/n), Ono, let's meet up with the others from Japan, the tag teams. They already arrived. "

Now that it reminded me, sensei said that only our school didn't fund us for this competition. Additionally, the 2nd runner-up for girls and boys Individual category are from same school in Nagoya, and the 3rd runner ups are from Osaka. For the tag team category, they are from Gunma and Fukushima. What's more surprising, the team from Gunma and Fukushima, they are all staying in the same airbnb. Even their flights were the same. The winner of male individual category though, is from Tokyo and staying as well on their own.

We met the students and teachers for the tag team and unexpectedly got along with them. I found out that I might see them in Nationals if we all win the regional tournaments in our own regions. We found out that the 3rd runner-up for the male individual team got into an accident recently and broke his wrist, so he forfeited.

Not long after, the Tag team competition started, and we all went to our own block.

There were 7 from each block, and all blocks are playing at the same time. Well, this venue is bigger than expected after all.

Also, some individuals will commence this afternoon. Since there were more individual than the tag team, they decided to start the individual as well today.

~

Though Takuya and I reached the finals, we ended up in 4th place. Takuya apologized since he lost his focus and got two 8 points and one 7 points. Even though I got full 50 points, it wasn't enough for us to reach 3rd runner up.

"But it's okay, it's an experience," I told him as we were on our way to meet sensei.

"I know it's my fault, but that girl behind me should stop sneezing. It was so noisy. I was surprised that there was no warning"

"Is that so? I didn't notice at all. "

"Your focus is really unbelievable - ah, that's the girl. Good for them, they won the 2nd place"

I looked towards that tag team, and yeah, it's really convenient knowing language from other countries

"There's the loser in front of me. He totally lost his focus. "

She smirked and walked with her partner.

"Yeah, that was on purpose," I mumbled, then again looked at that girl. "I wonder why they wanted to win like that?"

"What's wrong, (f/n)?"

"Nothing, anyways, let's go and meet up with the others. I also need to check what block I am."

We went to meet up with sensei, and he was with the other schools. Only Takuya and I reached the finals, but their blocks were neck to neck as well.

"Congratulations. Being the 4th is also a win," they told us

"I already checked your block (l/n), you'll be in C block, and it's 4 pm today. They will be finishing all the first round today so that tomorrow, fewer people, " Kuwabe-sensei informed me, "for now, let's go and eat."

~

After eating, we met up with the 2nd & 3rd runner-up for the individual category. Surprisingly, the guy who got first is also here.

And... he's too... friendly?

"Oh! So here's the one who got the first place!" He approached me, and he's too close!

"Personal space," I retorted as I put my two hands in front of me, but he smiled

"Say, if we win, let's take the same flight and stay in the same hotel. Oh, I am Satou Kakeru. You are that (l/n) (f/n)-chan, right?"

"If (f/n) wins, her boyfriend - I mean, that person will take care of her flight and hotels." I turned to Takuya, and he gazed away. "Nothing, don't mind me, "

"Anyways, thanks for the suggestion, but we still don't know if we will win."

"I'll win. I will not miss it if I will, just once or twice." he winked at me, then smiled, then looked at the other individual winners from Japan. "Anyways, I'll go to my block now. Good luck to us, "

And he left

"You really sure attract weird guys." Kuwabe-sensei stood next to me and sighed, "but it seemed you prefer Akashi-san."

"At the very least, if Akashi says that he'll win, you could feel that he will. And it's not just an ordinary win, but a complete win," I retorted, then checked my watch."I'll also go to my block now."

"Good luck and have fun,"

And my individual tournament started.

~

Of course, the great me was able to pass, and now I am in a minute away to enter the venue for the finals.

Unfortunately, behind me was the same girl that was behind Takuya; the sneezing girl.

Well, sorry for her, I am good at focusing.

We entered the venue, and time passed by. My first final's individual tournament started.

In which to be honest, it happened so fast. I shoot my first five arrows that landed directly in the middle. Immediately, I was asked to sit down and wait, while some were asked to remain standing, and four were asked to shoot one more. When one of them landed in 7 point ring, she was asked to stand still.

With that, I understand the situation I was in. Since all my shots landed in the center ring, I immediately won the first place. Those who were asked to remain standing were already out, and the remaining ones who were still shooting, they were competing for the 2nd and 3rd place.

The girl behind me was one of the girls that were asked to remain standing the same time I was asked to sit down. I could feel the heat of her glare though.

Anyways, I was trying not to let my emotions overflow. I am just so happy for being the first among all these girls.

After waiting for 10 more minutes, the girl's individual tournament had finally ended. I was asked to stand up and follow one of the staffs, in which two more girls were also asked to follow her.

But before I followed the staff, I turned around and spoke in this girl's language "better drink some medicine. You kept on sneezing since yesterday, you might have a cold. It's distracting, seriously. Be safe" I bowed down then left. I could see her frustration though, and it was satisfying.

"Everyone, thank you for your sportsmanship. That's the wrap for our 20XX AHS International tournament. The closing ceremony will be commenced at 3:00 PM local time. Congratulations to everyone who competed yesterday and today. Have safe trip back to your home countries, and see you to our next competition."

~

We were on the side, waiting for my name to be called. Well, it's the presentation of medals to the winners, and yeah there's trophy as well.

"And for the 1st place, Ms. (F/n) (l/n), Japan"

I slightly bowed down as I entered, and the round of applause from everyone echoed. It was an open area but still, the congratulatory applause was overwhelming.

They put on the gold medal, handed a certificate and a trophy to me, and then of course, took pictures of us. 

After that, I went to find sensei and Takuya. Bringing my equipment with me, along with my medal, certified and trophy. I wanted to release my feelings already.

I'm just so happy! This is the result of my very first international tournament.

The people around were congratulating me. I am still overwhelmed.

"(F/n)!" I turned towards that voice and there they are, even from the other schools "Congratulations!" Sensei caged me into tight embrace and yeah, he had this wide smile

"Seriously, you are always a winner!" Takuya shook my arms, and they seemed were more excited than me

"To think that if we reach Nationals, we will be competing against you" one of the girls commented on the side

"Rakuzan needs to reach Nationals first"

"If you are there, Rakuzan will surely be in Nationals"

I just laughed since I didn't know what to response. But well, right now, I'm just happy!

Takuya got my equipments, and immediately, he got his phone out. I also asked him to take pictures using my phone.

Not long after, this Satou Kakeru-kun returned with his bronze medal, and certificate.

Well, we still won at least, so we took pictures together.

After taking couple of more pictures with everyone, they finally decided to return to our hotels. Though for dinner, all coaches from each schools from Japan decided to treat us with a nice dinner for our last night here in Macau.

~

I immediately sent my solo picture with my gold medal, certifate and trophy to my family's group chat in Line, then to our archery team group chat, and of course, to Akashi as well.

Everyone immediately responded, but again, I didn't expect Akashi to respond right away.

Akashi: congratulations. Keep it up.

A short response from Akashi gives me this thrill inside.

Me: thanks! We'll be in your care again for the world competition! :D

It was then my mother called and I just answered it, showing them my gold medal.

~

And that night, we all meet in a restaurant, and eat everything we could. We also went to buy souvenirs since there were shops near where the restaurant we went to.

But that next day, when we arrived at the airport, we were told that there was problem in our flight. The ticket given to us, the flight should leave 2:00 PM local time, but the Boeing number showed that the plane already left at 12:00 PM. We didn't receive any email about the change of flights, nor Akashi didn't update us as well. I mean, he should receive the notification as well if ever.

They were telling us that it wasn't their fault, and asking us that it was our responsibility to check it. They even telling us to book another flight.

I couldn't help but laugh at this crazy situation we are in.

I messaged Akashi about it, and since it was still school hours, I wasn't expecting him to response.

I was also trying to call my parents, going to ask them if I could use the card mom gave me. But no one was responding.

As we were checking flights now back to Japan, our names were called and we were asked to go back to that airline's customer service.

We went there, with all our stuffs still.

"We apologized for the inconvenience. We investigated and indeed it was on our side that we didn't send notice about the change. Unfortunately, the next flight directly to Osaka will be until late tonight, so if you want you can take the flight to Tokyo instead, in which it will depart in an hour" the attendant explained then she continued "You are still in the first class cabin, and will serve with high priority. So let us know if which one you prefer"

"There's no other option direct to Osaka?" Sensei curiously asked

"There are indirect flights to Osaka, but it would be a long layover to Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Singapore, then to Osaka"

As they were checking the flights to Osaka on this particular airline, I felt my phone vibrated, and it was no other than Akashi. It's Akashi!

"Hello?"

"Did they give options now for your flights?" He immediately asked

"The direct flight to Osaka is late night. Indirect flights to Osaka will include long layovers. They also gave us option that we could take the one to Tokyo."

"..."

"We are searching for our own flights, but there's no more economy that have direct flights to Osaka."

"..."

"Akashi?"

"I'll call you back. Don't take those options. I'll do something about it since it's my responsibility"

And he ended the call with that scary tone

"Who was that?" Takuya looked at me and I just sighed then approached Sensei

"Sensei, Akashi said not to take those options. He'll do something about it."

Sensei and even the attendant looked at me, yeah, confused, and well, I said it that even the attendant could understand

"Do something about it?"

"Yeah, he said that it's his responsibility." I responded then smiled dryly "his voice was scary"

Not long after, here's the call from Akashi. I immediately answered, but even before I utter a word

"The confirmation is now sent to sensei. Different airline, and it will leave in 30 minutes. Go check-in your stuffs and go to the gate immediately"

"Sensei, can you check your email? Our new flight details should be in your email"

Sensei immediately checked his email, and he nodded

"Okay, sensei got it. We'll go to check-in our stuffs now, then go to the gate. I'll update you when we are in the gate already."

I ended the call and immediately thanks the attendant, and we went to check in our stuffs to different airline.

We are in business class this time, so again, we skipped the long line and immediately checked in our stuffs. Everything went smoothly this time. We hurriedly went through the security, and went to the gate.

Well, at least we arrived while they were calling the passengers still. And again since we have business class ticket, we skipped the line, and immediately went in.

~

We made a deep breathe, more like we were able to breathe normally now.

I messaged Akashi that we were already inside the plane and just waiting for it to depart.

I also messaged my parents that I would explain things when we arrived back to Japan. They were calling but I couldn't answer.

~

When we arrived in Osaka, we went through the security, and then got our luggage. Good thing our luggage came out fast, so no troublesome stuffs happened. We decided to take the bus from Osaka to Kyoto, since that's the cheapest and best option for us.

Just...

When we got to the arrival area, the least expected person was there, waiting for us.

"Welcome back, and Congratulations" Akashi greeted us with his usual nonchalant expression

"Thanks, but why are you here?" I checked my watched then again looked at him "you should have been in school practicing"

"After the mess that happened, I couldn't just sit and do nothing."

"Thanks to you though we are back here" Kuwabe-sensei told him "thank you Akashi-san"

"It's my responsibility after all. Anyways, I believe you are planning to take the bus to Kyoto instead, since it's cheaper that way" hearing it from him, it sounded like an insult "Kuwabe-sensei and Takuya can take one of the cars, and my driver will send you home. I believe (f/n) has something to get first in my place, so she will be coming with me instead"

The two looked at me and well, just gave up

"Well, please send her home safely. We'll see you tomorrow"

"Ah, since you just returned, it's optional for you three to come to school." Akashi informed us "well then, let's go"

We followed Akashi to the parking lot, and Ken-san and Kari-san, with someone I didn't know. Ah, I think it's the Kari-san from last time. The first time I met him was probably my imagination. The other one that I didn't know, Akashi's driver? Another one? Also, the usual sedan of Akashi is present, multiplied into two.

"Well then, Ken, Kari, Yuta, help them to put their luggage in the car. Yuta, send the two of them, safely" Akashi ordered them "anyways, have a good night and see you in school"

Akashi opened the door for me, and I bid goodbye to sensei and Takuya.

~

Once I entered the car though, my parents immediately called, and I briefly explained the situation we had. I already told them that I was on my way home, and they were insisting for me to call them once I got home.

When I ended the call, I immediately turned to Akashi

"Thank you again for the help. You are always the answer to our problems. Thank you again!"

Akashi looked back at me and still expressionless

"Congratulations. At least, nothing went to waste, instead it went beyond."

"Congratulations, young lady" I turned to Kari-san, then his head turned towards me "good luck on the regional"

"Congratulations, (f/n)-sama" even Ken-san. I could see his eyes looked on the mirror then back to the road

"Thank you so much, Kari-san, Ken-san, Akashi!" I responded with high tension, then turned to Akashi again "then, I wanted to ask this but, where's Go-chan?"

When I asked that, Kari-san sat back properly, Akashi also gazed outside

Ahre...?

"What's with this silence?"

Akashi sighed, and as if he retreated
"Someone borrowed him"

"Borrowed... him?"

Go-chan... was borrowed by someone?! And with Akashi's response, it's someone he couldn't say no?! Is there anyone like that?! Even his parents couldn't say no to him!

"Borrowed by who?" I again asked

"By my grandparents" he again sighed! So Akashi couldn't say no to his grandparents?! I wonder if it's on his father side?

"Then Go-chan is with them. They aren't asking Go-chan to stay with them, right?!" I hastily asked him, but he looked at me

"No, just borrowing. They visited me last Friday and saw Go-chan. They are fonds with animals, so since they are in Kyoto, they asked Go-chan to tag along while they go around."

"I see. Old people tend to like animals or kids after all, somehow animals and kids heal them. Well, as long as they will return Go-chan, then it's fine. Ah, then just send me home-"

"They are in my house now, they will return to Kouchi tomorrow" when he said that, Akashi again sighed then looked outside, but he was somehow annoyed

~

After an hour, we arrived in Akashi's house. He led me inside, and from the entrance, I could hear Go-chan's bark, and laughters of man and woman, indeed sound of older people. Akashi told Ken-san to go prepare some tea for us.

I followed Akashi, and we went to one of the rooms, and when the door opened, Go-chan jumped towards me

"GO-CHAN!" I hugged him as he was licking my face "my face is a bit sticky, I just came back, so-"

"Just let him" I heard Akashi

"Oh, is this your new girlfriend, Sei-kun?"

"I don't have a girlfriend in the first place" I heard Akashi immediately retorted.

It was then I stood up as I again remembered that Akashi's grandparents are here. I looked at them and they didn't look much like Akashi, except her grandmother's red hair. So it's really in their genes

"You don't? Was there a girl back in middle school?" I heard his grandmother.

"It's the same girl, Aoki-sama" Ken-san entered the room pushing a cart of teapot and teacups. But well, he received a glare from Akashi

"My apologies for intruding, I'm (l/n) (f/n). Uhm, thank you for looking after Go-chan" I bowed down and somehow I didn't feel that nervous, just embarrassed

"Oh its Go-chan who helped us." His grandmother chuckled "I am Aoki, and this is my husband Shiota. We are Sei-kun's grandparents in mother side"

Ah, it's on the mother side. I heard a bit about his mom, but not much about his grandparents

"We heard you just came back in Macau. Have you eaten dinner?" Akashi's grandfather asked

"Ah no, not yet. I'm planning to when I get hom-"

"Then Kari, tell the chef that there's one more that will join us-"

"No need, her dinner is already added" Akashi interrupted then gestured towards me to sit down. "She's going to eat dinner here from the start"

I sat down and just looked at Akashi, who sat down on the small couch across me. So I'll eat dinner here!

"Uhm-"

"Anyways, aren't you going home to Kouchi tomorrow? Don't you need to rest now?" Akashi asked his grandparents

...

Ahre... there was a moment of silence inside this room, why?

"What's with this silence? Grandfather?"

"Aoki-san hasn't found her friend, so she still doesn't want to go back"

Aoki-san closed her eyes as she sipped on her tea elegantly, but well, she was also pouting her lips

"Sei-kun isn't helping me at all, so I'll look for her by myself. It will be my 75th birthday soon and I wanted to meet her again"

"As I said it's impossible based on your description, it's too general"

Wow! Akashi just said impossible?! I wonder what's the description, and here in Kyoto?

"Here you go, (f/n)-sama"

"Thank you, Ken-san" I accepted the cup of tea and smiled awkwardly, he might noticed that I was curious what they were talking about

"Aoki-sama is looking for her high school best friend. The last time she saw her though was when they graduated high school. They were from the same gardening club. And that's all she could remember now. Aoki-sama said that since her friend was insisting of pursuing a job related to gardening, she thinks that her best friend has some garden here or something like that" Ken-san explained then chuckled, but somehow with a sound of retreat "we also tried, but Aoki-sama's description was so broad and Japan is big, or more like the world is big"

"I feel like Mako-Mako is near, so I'll find her here in Kyoto"

"Mako-mako?" I looked at Ken-san and he nodded when I heard Aoki-san's voice

"That's what she calls her. Aoki-sama couldn't remember her full name nor her last name. She just remembered that she was calling her Mako-mako. So yeah it's hard"

"Somehow, good luck. But then hearing what you said reminded me of when we lived in Oita"

"Eh?"

I chuckled then looked at Ken-san "it was only for a year, but we lived in Oita because of my family's business back when I was in grade 5. Then there was this family living next to us that owned a floral garden. They are also do the service with the flowers designed in the floral village, up until now. I remembered I was always talking to their grandma. She owned it then expanded it. Sorry, I just remembered since we were on that topic"

"Uhm... (f/n)-sama, the grandma isn't called Mako-mako, right?"

"Eh? It's Mako-mako. That's why I remembered because of the name" I immediately responded "Her name is Kamisato Mariko-san. She told me to call her Mako-mako since her best friend was calling her that and she loves it. So I called her Mako-mako-san."

"Do you know... if she is married...? Or if you know her last name before she got married?"

"She is married, but she said that she stays her last name since it's her lucky name."

"How... did you know that much about that grandma, (f/n)-sama?"

"Ah, she is the usual grandmother that is fond with kids. I was interested in their flowers that time and she was telling me her stories. I was only in my 5th grade but she was teaching me lots, and also telling me lots"

...

"This is really unexpected"

I looked at Ken-san and curiously looked at him as he was staring at me

"Uhm... Ken-san?"

"Seijurou-sama was having a nightmare from Aoki-sama's description, but here you are solving it right away"

"Wait Ken-san, it's surely different one. I mean, that's crazy coincidence if ever. I was just babbling about my memories"

"Then, did that Mako-mako-san mention where she graduated high school?"

"... she didn't say the school... but she said here in Kyoto..."

Ken-san then turned to Aoki-sama and wow, he interrupted them

"My apologies for interrupting you, but Aoki-sama, is the reason why you decided to look at your best friend here in Kyoto was because you graduated here?"

"Yeah, I graduated in Rakuzan" Aoki-san responded then Ken-san looked at me

You are joking, right?!

"We looked at all the people with the same description, we couldn't find that Mako-mako you are looking for, grandmother" Akashi sipped on his tea then sighed "give up, it's been years since you graduated, she might forget you already"

"Sei-kun, why do you always have this negative points. You are absolute sometimes, but you don't have this one thing your father has"

"And that is?"

"Learn it yourself!"

Aoki-san and Akashi are being grumpy to each other

"Stop it you two. You are bickering in front of a guest" at the very least, Shiota-san is calm

"If I may, Aoki-sama, do you remember the full name already?" Ken-san again asked

"I couldn't remember, but if I hear her name, it will ring something. We tried couple of names, but none of it sounded like her"

"Was it Kamisato Mariko-sama?"

"AHHHHHH!"

We all flinched as Aoki-san shouted

"That's her name! Indeed that's the name! How did you know?!"

"Aoki-san, calm down" Shiota-san stopped her

Ken-san looked at me and I just anxiously gazed away, and also somehow, I felt Akashi's gaze

"It's not me, but (f/n)-sama here was the one who knows a grandma named Kamisato Mariko-sama. You might want to ask her the details"

And great, their eyes were all in me now.

I cleared my throat then looked at Aoki-san "eeto, I am not sure if we are talking about the same person"

"But still, it might be! How did you know her?! Where is she?! Is she doing okay?!"

"Calm down, grandmother. Let her speak first"

"Well, there was this grandma I got along with, who was living next to us when we were living in Oita"

"Oita?! In Oita?! In Kyushu?!"

"Aoki-san" Shiota-san held her wrist, and yeah, Aoki-san was really getting agitated

"Their family owns a floral garden, and they do the service for the flowers in the floral village." I informed them

"But we can't say that it's the same person." Shiota-san commented on the side

"I call her Mako-mako-san since she insisted to call her that. It was her best friend from high school in Kyoto who gave that name."

"... But she's married now, right?" Akashi retorted "also, how did you know about these much of information about that grandma?"

"Yeah, but she remains her last name. She said it's her lucky name. Well, I know since Mako-mako-san loves to talk to people-"

"Flower loves lively atmosphere, and they will bloom more if people talk to them and if the place is lively"

Yeah, when I said that, Aoki-sama also said it. Exact same words!

"So she's in Oita. That made our life easier" Aoki-san stood up then looked at her own grandson "I'll be back, I just need to book a flight to Kyushu-"

"Wait, grandmother. We need to make sure first if it's the same person. I know someone who is in Kyushu right now. We can ask her to ask that person first" Akashi stopped his grandmother

"Then, if it's the same person, I want you to bring her to my 75th birthday, full accommodation. You will also attend my birthday, along with this lady of course, with full accommodation as well"

"Ah, you don't need to include me-" I immediately shook my head

"No, I want you to. It's too bad that I might not be alive by the time you officially become my granddaughter. So Seijurou" I felt thrill when Aoki-san called Akashi, and even though she was smiling, I also felt intimidated "bring her to my birthday party, okay?"

She's indeed Akashi's grandmother. And also, for some reason, my dog is comfortably sleeping on Shiota-san's lap.

"It still depends. She has a tournament in August, and she still doesn't know when it will be." Akashi responded and I was about to sigh in relief but,

"Tournament, what tournament?" Aoki-san looked at me "what tournament?"

"I-it's an archery tournament, it's called AHS International tournament."

Aoki-san looked to me then to Akashi. "That tournament? Your uncle is one of the sponsors." When she said that I immediately looked at Akashi, and I could see him looking at me "Seijurou"

"Indeed, he's one of the sponsors only"

Aoki-san chuckled as she approached me "Don't worry, I'll tell my son to change the date if ever it will overlap on my birthday. It's my birthday, he's my son, you are my grandson's girlfriend so I want you to attend"

"I am not his girlfriend. I am just a friend. Your grandson has a fiancé" I immediately retorted

"You are engaged? To who? As if Masaomi will give his son away. Shiori will never forgive him." Aoki-san then got my hand and yeah led me out of the room "now, let's go eat our dinner. Let's go~ let's go! I am in good mood now~! Kari, tell the chef that we'll eat now!"

I feel like a lamb being served as sacrifice.

~Akashi~

"Ken, why did you tell grandmother right away?" Akashi held the temple of his head then glared as his butler "it will be more troublesome if it's not the same person. You should have told me first"

"Indeed, you know how troublesome my wife is" Akashi's grandfather in mother side, Shiota, chuckled while caressing Go-chan's fur "Let's just hope that it's the same person"

"I believe it's the same person" Ken responded with a smile "after all, (f/n)-sama is involved. Now that she won from that tournament, not just won but got the first place, what your uncle asked you will go to work now. That's the reason why you decided to sponsor the Rakuzan's archery team on that tournament, right?"

"So Sorata asked you about his plan" Shiota-san commented on the side

Akashi stood up then looked at Ken and his grandfather "Sorata-san's plan is one thing, but I want Rakuzan to become number 1, and I believe (f/n) can win it. Let's go Go-chan. Ken, call Rika, she's in Kyushu right now."

He left followed by Go-chan, leaving Ken and his grandfather

"Now enlighten me Ken, that girl is really not his girlfriend? Or are they hiding it? I am also not familiar with her last name, so someone from an ordinary family" Shiota-san stood up

"No, they are not going out, but I believe they share the same feelings. As for (f/n)-sama's family, her mother's side owns the SH brand, and his father is from a car company in Hokkaido, but he already cut his connection to them and is now one of the owners of SH." Ken explained then smiled "(f/n)-sama is a dangerous woman to Seijurou-sama, but I think it's in a good way"

"Well, I don't mind who he will end up with, the problem is on the Akashi side anways" Shiota-san left but he was humming

Ken sighed "but I don't think they also mind about it. Also, I wonder if Seijurou-sama knows that one Masaomi-sama has been investigating (f/n)-sama already. Well, recently, (f/n)-sama is always the answer to Seijurou-sam's problem"

~TBC~
