Chapter 64 – Episode 10. We’re Not Related by Blood.
After the hunting incident, we enjoyed our date at Disney Land in a slightly sweeter atmosphere. After Splash Mountain, there was Fantasy World and Toon World, which were inspired by Disney’s classic animation, so there were a lot of calm things like a merry-go-round and spinning tea cups.
Taira Yukiko enjoyed various princess-themed rides as if she were a princess, and I was busy taking pictures. Still, since it was Taira Yukiko’s character, all the photos came out satisfactorily.
The final Tomorrow World had an almost cyberpunk atmosphere because it was based on the concept of the future. In particular, the ride that allowed you to explore the streets of the colonial Mars city on a reconnaissance hover bike, which was the concept of the recently successful movie The Princess of Mars, was popular, and we waited in a long line to ride it.
Actually, I didn’t know that The Princess of Mars was that interesting because I didn’t watch it, but Taira Yukiko was really exciting.
“Have you seen Princess Mars?”
“Yes, it was an interesting movie so I watched it three times.”
“Would you like to watch it together next time? “Actually, I haven’t seen Princess Mars.”
Are you saying I haven’t seen that funny thing yet? It was Yukiko Taira, looking at me with an expression on her face. She had a pitiful expression, as if she were looking at a primitive person who did not know civilization.
“Okay, if you haven’t seen it, let’s watch it together. “It’s fun.”
In Yukiko Taira’s eyes, I will definitely show this fun movie to my son! It was full of her will to do it.
For reference, while the story of the Mars Princess came up, if we talk about Mars exploration, Alex Musk, the owner of Space Z and the owner of Tetsu, honestly said that even at the age of 81, he is developing technology for Mars terraforming. Currently, there is only a closed research complex on Mars, and it is not yet possible to freely travel outside like on Earth.
Still, he was still considered a pioneer in space technology because he was a man who actually traveled to Mars and realized Mars Galkuni. Of course, there were many people who disliked him because he caused many problems.
Tomorrow World had the most people, and there was a reason for that. This is because the most amusement rides were the motif of the latest works. And the ride that impressed me the most was the ride called Space Wars’ Space Fighting.
Space Fighting was a one-man amusement ride, but it was more of a game than a ride where you used a VR machine to drive a space fighter in a virtual universe and battle the imperial space fighter. There were 100 seats so the line was long, but I was able to enjoy it quickly. Taira Yukiko loved her shooting, so she enjoyed this space fighting.
After enjoying Tomorrow World, I went back to Toon World and Fantasy World, enjoyed the rides I couldn’t enjoy because the lines were long, and headed back toward the exit. It was already 8 o’clock as we enjoyed the many rides and had time to wait in line.
“It’s a little late, but let’s watch the fireworks and have dinner at a nearby restaurant, Yukiko.”
According to what I found out earlier, there will be fireworks at 8:30, so I guess I can just watch that and then go outside and have dinner.
We were waiting for the fireworks display while standing at a good point where we could see the fireworks display we had found in advance.
After waiting a little while, the sound of fireworks going off was heard and the white bricks of the Disney Castle shined beautifully, reflecting the various colors of the fireworks. The sky was full of beautiful fireworks and the surroundings were full of admiration from people.
I looked to the side and saw that it was Taira Yukiko, truly enjoying the fireworks. I wanted to kiss like during the fireworks display during the cherry blossom viewing, but since this place was full of people from the Tyra group for the Human Resources Development Institute event, I defeated the lustful devil and looked at the sky full of fireworks again.
“Let’s go back now.”
Yukiko Taira, who was watching all the fireworks, smiled with satisfaction and led my hand. Before she left D Juni Land, she stopped by the Global Bazaar where she had stopped by before and bought a few souvenirs for herself. Surprisingly, Yukiko Taira was sincere in buying her souvenirs. She took a long time to choose and when she came out it was 9:40. Isn’t this going to be a problem for the restaurant?
Taira Yukiko also looked at the time, her expression became a little embarrassed, she glanced at me as if she was watching me, and then opened her mouth.
She said, “She came to D Junie Land, which she used to come to when she was a college student. She wanted something she used to eat when she was a college student. Can I have that?”
I don’t know what it was, but I nodded because I was very hungry.
“I don’t know what that is, but I’ll go if you guide me. Do you do it during this time as well?”
“Yes, it’s a 24-hour store…”
The place taken by Yukiko Taira, sitting in her passenger seat, was Matsuya (松屋), one of Japan’s three major gyudon franchises. I thought she wanted to eat something huge, but all she found was Gyudon… Taira Yukiko must have seen the look in my eyes and spoke as if making an excuse.
“I haven’t been able to eat since I married Saburo.”
Well, if the daughter-in-law of a chaebol family was eating gyudon alone at a restaurant for the common people, it would immediately appear in newspapers or on the news as a scoop.
“It’s been a while since I ate beef tenderloin. “Hurry up and eat.”
I drove a bit hastily and headed to nearby Matsuya. They say that each Japanese person has their own favorite gyudon franchise, but Taira Yukiko seemed to be Matsuya. Jin Yong-tae also preferred Matsuya. It’s close to home so I go there often so I’m probably used to it.
“I also prefer Matsuya over other franchises, so it’s a coincidence.”
“Really? That’s interesting. It was difficult because many of my friends were from the Yoshinoya faction. So, if I wanted to eat, I had to go and eat alone.”
Even though they are not Yakuza, there is a Matsuda faction and a Yoshinoya faction. As we drove while talking about gyudon, we arrived at Matsuya. Since I searched for a place with a parking lot, I was able to park right in front and go in.
“Gyudon must be eaten in the size of atamamori (usually with rice and a lot of meat).”
Taira Yukiko, who spoke as if it were some sort of law, even ordered mine in Atamamori size gyudon. I’m pretty hungry right now, so I don’t think I’ll be full from this…
“If it’s not enough, you can just order extra, so don’t make that face.”
It was Taira Yukiko, who seemed to have read my thoughts and spoke playfully while pressing my nose. As expected from Japan’s representative fast food, the meal was served right away.
It was quite delicious, perhaps because it had been a while since I had eaten it. Yukiko Taira said with tears in her eyes, “This is it…” ! This! She ate with pleasure as she did so. Today is a complete trip down memory lane for Taira Yukiko. When she was a college student, she went to D Juni Land and Gyudon House.
I additionally ordered and ate katsudon and mapa rice bowl. Hmm… Maybe it’s because I had a light lunch today, but I needed to eat about three bowls to feel full.
The road back after eating was smooth and unblocked. Yukiko Taira said she played all day and was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep in the car. When she got home, she was still sleeping, so she hugged her like a princess and put her on the bed.
Yukiko Taira forced her sleepy eyes open and looked at me.
“Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
I kissed Taira Yukiko’s forehead, then lightly kissed her on the lips, whispered good night, and left her room.
###
Minamoto Group conference room.
Several reporters are standing sweating profusely as they look out the window at the chairs turned backwards.
“So, this is all the information we have on Old Man Tyra Danzo’s youngest grandson?”
The chair turned. Sitting in the chair was a bald old man with shiny hair. The bald old man held two thin documents and asked in a cold voice.
“I was born out of wedlock, graduated from Edogawa High School, and joined Taira Group Human Resources Development Institute… “Is this the end?”
“Yes, yes! “I had no contact with the Tyra group since I was young, and I just grew up normally, so I don’t have much information.”
As the sweaty reporter answered, the bald old man Ushin Minamoto clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk! Smart guys who graduated from college can’t do this. Bring it!”
As Minakoto Ushin spoke, a man wearing sunglasses and a black suit came carrying documents. Minamoto Ushin opened the document and began to read.
“Taira Ryuta, before joining the Taira family, his name was Hata Ryuta, Jin Yongtae. Elementary, middle, and high school are all listed, and my close friend is Kazuhiro Smith, a soccer player… Also, Genba Kiyohira (玄葉 清平)… His mother on the blood-related side is Jin Mija, a second-generation Korean, and his mother on the Taira family is Yukiko Taira. There are rumors that she is promiscuous in her relationships with women… Look at this, I only gave them a few pennies and entrusted the job to those from the crime report office, and this is what I found out. However! “The Minamoto Group Headquarters Special Strategy Team managed to obtain this much documentation?”
Minamoto Ushin’s anger was scary. A deadly force filled the room, and the bodies of the reporters who felt the deadly force trembled like aspen trees.
“This guy is the weakest link in the Tyra group! Our Minamoto is the easiest one to attack. But there are only so many documents… Are you presenting it to me as a report? It’s your last chance. Take a look at the information obtained by those people from the criminal investigation office that you treat as scum, and make a plan right now. “If you like it, you can move on, but if you don’t like it, it’s gone immediately.”
The reporters hurriedly looked at the documents sent from the criminal investigation office after hearing that they were false. The reporters who had been flipping through the documents until they made a fluttering sound soon began to open their mouths as if they had finished organizing the document.
“I think it would be okay if we consistently gather information using our friends.”
“To confirm the rumor that he has promiscuous relationships with women, I think it would be a good idea to find a woman and join him.”
“Using Jin Mi-ja, his biological mother…”
With their livelihoods in danger, the reporters did their best to devise a plan for Taira Ryuta. Hearing that, Minamoto Ushin nodded his head with a faint smile.
“Now it’s worth listening to in moderation. This time, try to come up with the most effective plan based on the strategy you have just thought of. “If you mess up like this again, I will never forgive you.”
“You won’t be disappointed!”
As the reporters bowed and left the conference room, Ushin Minamoto stood up.
“Hehe, if something goes wrong with Young Master Danjo’s youngest son and then his youngest grandson, it would be a great pain, right? Huhuhuhu…”
Minamoto Ushin stood alone in the conference room and smiled sinisterly.

I received a request for an illustration for episode 60, and as requested by whitetiger, I created a scene where Aris smiles brightly in a kimono.
Aris is so refreshing!
