Chapter 67 – Episode 10. We’re Not Related by Blood.
Today, Friday, was the graduation day for new trainees who had been training at the Human Resources Development Center for a month. The trainees were whining and begging me to go to the Human Resources Development Center graduation party, but I had to be the driver today because Taira Yukiko asked me to drive. She said that her secretary, who was also her driver, was on leave and suddenly had a long-distance schedule.
I heard that other groups were also having a graduation party, so I had no choice but to appease the remaining trainees by promising to hang out from Saturday evening to Sunday lunch. Anyway, it got really busy over the weekend. I have to deliver Master’s autograph to Sayaka Hanasaki during Saturday lunch, and I don’t know how long it will be from Saturday evening to Sunday, but there will be a sex party, and on Sunday night I have to meet Aris… There will be no time to rest. Should I take a picture of my stamina the next time I level up?
“Here, I’ll be out in two hours at the latest, so please wait.”
“Yes.”
Taira Yukiko was wearing a black dress with luxurious gold decorations in the middle, so she fit well with the luxurious Taira Yukiko image. In particular, the contrast between Yukiko Taira’s voluptuous breasts and thin waist showed off her erotic charm.
I saw Yukiko Taira get out of her car and enter her mansion. Did she tell me to go to Hiramoto…? ? Although it was not as big as the Taira family’s main house, it was a fairly large and stately Japanese-style mansion. Looking at the mansion, it appears to be a family with a long history. Seeing that the family name is Hiramoto (平本), it seems to be a subsidiary family of Taira (平). She said she heard from Taira Yukiko that they were having a garden party. She said she had someone there to trade something with, but do they do business in places like that?
“2 hours… “What should I do now?”
I leaned back in the driver’s seat and muttered to myself. Today, the secretary who also drove the car was on vacation, so I was hired. Yukiko Taira said she would pay me part-time salary, and she immediately put the money into her account. It’s 200,000 yen… 200,000 yen for only 4 hours, including an hour and 20 minute round trip drive and 2 hours of waiting, was a significant part-time job fee. In Korea, the hourly wage is 500,000 won. Perhaps because she is the daughter-in-law of a chaebol family, she has a lot of courage.
Since Health Miracle stock had not yet reached its peak and the stock had not been cashed out, most of the funds were tied up in Health Miracle. So I didn’t have enough money to spend on daily life, but receiving part-time wages like this gave me a bit of a breather. It was a lot for the money I received for working only 4 hours, but from the daughter-in-law of a chaebol family, I guess she gave it to her son as an allowance of about 10,000 yen. Still, thanks to that, I was able to make a living until I sold off my Health Miracle stock. Thank you, Yukiko Maman!
Should I increase my telekinesis proficiency in 2 hours? I levitated my smartphone, an object that should not be dropped, in the air. This is because you can concentrate a little more and your proficiency increases faster. The smartphone was floating in the air as if it were in zero gravity space. I often worked on my skill level in between, so now I didn’t mind just letting it float in the air.
I tried everything I could think of in a car, including turning it 720 degrees in the air and going back and forth from the back seat to the front seat quickly without hitting the glass. After about twenty minutes, I felt dizzy, as if I was suffering from anemia.
When I opened the status window and checked my telekinesis, it was already level 4. He caught up with Shinkaiyatsude, who is currently level 3, and turned the tables. I don’t know if it’s because it’s easier to do than martial arts training, so it increases quickly, or because Shinkaiyatsude is a mythical martial art, but proficiency is slow, but the increase in proficiency in telekinesis was smooth.
“I need to get some rest now…Uh?”
I was just about to put my smartphone in my pocket to rest when Yukiko Taira opened the front door of the Hiramoto family and came out. We talked for two hours and it came out faster than I expected. But he didn’t look good, so I opened the car door and got out. I don’t know what’s going on, but I need to comfort you.
It was Yukiko Taira who was distracted and was about to fall. I quickly ran over and caught Taira Yukiko who was about to fall.
“Yukiko, are you okay? He said it would take a long time…”
“Huh…”
It was Taira Yukiko, who looked at me and her eyes turned red and she shed tears.
“Get in the car first.”
I put Yukiko Taira, who was crying all the time, in the passenger seat because people around her were paying attention to her.
“What on earth is going on, Yukiko?”
“That is…”
In response to my questions, Taira Yukiko started talking to me one by one. That three successors had been aiming for the position of director of the Human Resources Development Institute since long ago, and that in order to protect Taira Yukiko and me, we tried to collect shares of Taira Bio and Taira Robotics that could exercise control over the Taira Group, but she was insulted by the Hiramoto family. Told the story
Masujiro Hiramoto… I decided to remember this name. How dare you make such an obscene suggestion to a subordinate… ! Although my anger did not subside, I held back and hugged Taira Yukiko and patted her on the back.
“It’s okay, Mom.”
It was Taira Yukiko, who looked at me with a strange expression that seemed a little surprised, relieved, or disappointed when I called her mother for the first time in a long time. Hmm… I was a little surprised that her expression of disappointment seemed a little big. Do you like calling me by your name? I guess I should just call him by his name again.
“Shall we go back first, Yukiko?”
“…Huh.”
While driving, I occasionally saw Taira Yukiko’s profile. I don’t know what he was thinking, but he looked like he was thinking about something. I opened Taira Yukiko’s mouth to reassure her.
“And don’t worry. As long as her grandfather is still alive, there is no way Yukiko will lose her position as head of the talent development center.”
“But…”
“If you’re really worried, I’ll go to my parents’ house and talk to my grandmother.”
Taira Shizuku, the hostess of the Taira Group, is the biological mother of the deceased Saburo Taira. When she first saw her, she treated her kindly. She was a foolish grandmother who told her grandson to tell her whenever he was having a hard time.
With the calculated thought that I might be able to borrow Taira Shizuku’s power someday, and the Confucian sense of respect for the elderly that I had acquired before being possessed, I often contacted her and sent her gifts and the like. She was very happy every time, but later I found out that Taira Shizuku’s grandmother came to the talent development center and gave her pocket money because her grandmother had roasted Taira Danzo. She said her grandmother was better than her grandfather.
“So don’t worry.”
After Taira Saburo died, did something like an obsession with her survival develop? I was going to talk about the Human Resources Manager and Chisami Suzuki whom Jiro Taira had installed at the Human Resources Development Institute, but I felt that talking about it now would have the opposite effect, so I decided to talk about it later.
“Okay, I’m sorry. I only receive comfort from you…”
“You’re not allowed to say you’re sorry.”
The Taira Yukiko I’ve seen so far is a confident career woman, but she was in quite a bad state today.
As she continued to gently comfort her, she drove and before she knew it, she had arrived at the Talent Development Center.
“Wait! “Please stay and do not come in.”
I quickly went into the house, turned on the garden lights, poured champagne into two glasses, and came out. The housekeeper had already left work and there was no one in her house.
When I came out, Taira Yukiko was standing in the park in front of her house. Well, it may not be as good as the Hiramoto family’s garden, but the garden in the separate building of the Human Resources Development Center was also a well-maintained garden.
“You came out early today and couldn’t enjoy the banquet properly, right? “I overwrite the bad memories of the Hiramoto family with happy memories of me.”
When I give her a glass of champagne glistening, Taira Yukiko accepts it with a faint smile. As I held out my glass and shouted a toast, Yukiko Taira clinked her glasses together. There was a refreshing sound of her glasses clashing against each other.
She took a sip of champagne and looked at Yukiko Taira. Yukiko Taira was just holding the champagne and not drinking it. She just kept looking at me. Her eyes looked as if she was longing for something.
“Yukiko.”
As I took a step closer, it was Yukiko Taira who emptied the champagne glass in one go. Perhaps because of the alcohol, her eyes became even more hazy. I took a step closer with the sound of a champagne glass falling on the soft grass. The distance was such that each other’s breath passed through our noses and we could see each other’s eyelashes.
“No, we are mother and son.”
Yukiko Taira pushed me away, but her touch had no strength at all. I held her hand pushing me away.
“We’re not related by blood.”
“Still…Mmm!”
Before Taira Yukiko could say any more useless words, she blocked Taira Yukiko’s lips with my lips. As she kissed me, she let go of her hand that was pushing me away and before I knew it, her hand was cupping my face.
The kiss lasted long.
