Chapter 528 – Episode 57. Sports Day Mayhem
Taira Kokoro set up her catering buffet in a corner of St. Francis Girls’ Academy. She seemed to have ordered a buffet where many people could eat, as there was a filming team and Karen Uenozono’s parents were also invited to watch the sports day.
“Are you eating together, teacher?”
“Yes, I know Tyra… “It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so let’s talk while we eat.”
Karen Uenozono, who found me at her dinner table with Taira Kokoro, saw me and greeted me warmly. Standing right behind Karen Uenozono was a man who looked to be in his late 30s to early 40s and a woman who looked to be in her early 30s. They seemed to be Karen Uenozono’s parents. Perhaps because they were both parents of idols, their appearance was not bad, but in particular, Uenozono Karen’s mother was so beautiful that she still looks like she is still in active duty.
“Hello? My name is Karen’s father, Uenozono Kanji.”
“This is KAREN’s mother, Yuzuka!”
“Hello? “This is my homeroom teacher, Ryuta Yamashiro.”
Compared to her gentle father, Uenozono Kanji, her mother, Uenozono Yuzuka, had a lively personality. I briefly said hello to Karen Uenozono’s parents, ate plenty of food from the buffet, and then sat down in front of Taira Coco. Compared to me, who had piled up a mountain of food, Taira Cocoro’s plate only had a salad with only olive oil dressing, nuts, and lean grilled beef.
I know that Taira Kokoro is Taira Danzo’s second child, and she is quite old. She looks like she is in her early 30s on the outside, and it seems that it is because she maintains herself so tightly. If I manage it this hard, I guess I can sell it for a lot of money later, right?
“It’s difficult to manage if you eat too much. “I will be working as a model or actor in the future, so I need to control my food.”
Taira Kokoro looks at my buffet dishes and frowns slightly. I chuckled and shook my head at her attitude, as if I had already come under her control.
“If you don’t eat this much, you will lose muscle. And she has no intention of becoming a celebrity.”
“It’s a waste of face.”
Even if she says she won’t, she doesn’t say much. But her eyes didn’t seem to give up.
“By the way, all the students in your class are pretty.”
“Yes. I guess I’m lucky.”
Since she entered the classroom earlier, it was natural that Kokoro Taira would have seen the faces of her students. Since all the students in my class were beautiful, she must have something to like about Taira Kokoro, who works in the entertainment business.
“They don’t plan on making her a celebrity?”
“This is St. Francis Girls’ Academy. Everyone will do what the family decides.”
Since about half of the students in my class would work for me, I had no intention of handing them over to Taira Kokoro. I blocked her from talking about attracting students using family excuses.
“But… They say it’s too much for a woman to do what her family tells her to do. “It’s not even the 2030s.”
“After listening to it, I heard that Japanese famous brands are conservative.”
“It’s no joke in Japan, but also in the southern United States. “Conservatism has become so severe that even having an abortion is punishable by death.”
Oh, right. America was pretty weird right now. Some places were progressive places where people wouldn’t look strange even if you walked around with cyber implants all over your body, and as Taira Kokoro said, it was a strange country where the legal penalty for abortion was death.
In the case of New York and Los Angeles, where I went, it was the former. There aren’t many cities that have developed to the level of Pyongyang yet, but at some point this world will rapidly become cyber.
“Anyway, I said hello to my father earlier, but he got scolded. I’m saying that I might do something unnecessary and disturb you. “I guess you’ve been given a pretty important mission?”
“What… If it is important, it can be said to be important, or in some ways it can be a very trivial task.”
This time, he asked me subtly as if to find out what my mission was, but I answered honestly but in a way that Taira Kokoro could not understand.
“It’s not easy because you resemble Saburo.”
Taira Kokoro said with an expression as if she was missing something. I didn’t expect my father’s story to come up here.
“What kind of person was my father, Taira Saburo?”
“Didn’t you hear from Yukiko?”
I suddenly became curious about Taira Saburo, so I asked Taira Kokoro. Taira Kokoro asked me curiously, but I asked Yukiko about Saburo… Hmm, I guess it feels like my current boyfriend is asking me about my ex-boyfriend. It felt a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, even though I’ve barely seen the subject, it’s okay to ask him directly since he’s his father.
“It seems like Yukiko doesn’t really want to talk about that.”
“Hmm… I guess so. Although we were competing for succession with your father, our relationship wasn’t that bad. His face looks a bit like yours, but he’s not as sturdy as you and he’s a little skinnier? Because he was popular with women, Yukiko had a hard time with her.”
That’s right. Looking at Yukiko’s hard work, it seems like she was secretly flirtatious. It was brief, but interesting because it was a new story. As I listened with an interested expression, Taira Kokoro told me a few more stories, such as how he was a professor and had quite good business skills.
“I solved your curiosity, so please solve mine too.”
“If there’s anything I can tell you.”
He is also a skilled person. He answered my questions faithfully and made it difficult for me to avoid answering. It seemed like there was something I was curious about from the beginning.
“How is Kanna doing? “Did she present something to you like I did?”
Are you saying you’re deflecting the question with Tyra Kanna here? It seemed like the things I was curious about until now weren’t about me. You must have been more curious about Tyra Kanna, who is about to become an adult and may have an influence on the next succession structure, than about me, who was just carrying out a mission.
“Aunt Kanna didn’t really offer anything to me like Aunt Kokoro. I don’t really see her much, so I don’t know how she’s doing, but I think she’s leading the student council well. There are many students who follow.”
“I’m good at student council… “You mean?”
“Yes.”
Taira Kokoro smiled and nodded her head as if satisfied with my answer. I didn’t know what she would get from my answer. I had no intention of finishing with just one bowl from the buffet, so I went back to pick up my food.
When I filled my plate with food again and returned to my seat, Taira Kokoro was no longer there. Instead, Karen Uenozono brought Serif members to the table to greet me.
“Hello~!”
“It’s been a while, teacher~!”
“Yes, hello.”
I met Serif on a previous cruise and was familiar with him, so I greeted him without any awkwardness.
“What did you just talk about with the boss?”
“She asked if I wanted to come under her wing and become a model or actor.”
“Wow, teacher, do it~! “If you’re a teacher, you’ll be popular!”
When the leader of Serif, Se-yoon, answered the question, Karen Uenozono smiled and said as if she had to do it.
“I’m going to think about letting this guy graduate first.”
“Haha, that’s right. Because you are a teacher.”
When I said this while stroking Karen Uenozono’s head, everyone burst out laughing. She is refreshing, probably because she is an idol.
“Eye~! I’m a teacher now… Teacher, when you debut, you will be a junior, so be prepared!”
Perhaps because she didn’t like being treated like a child, Karen Uenozono declared that she would be treated as a senior when she debuted. By the way, she is a junior… It’s a word that reminds me of Mimata Chieri. She contacted me recently, but I’ll have to call her today.
###
“Yaho~☆ Mr. Ushin! Uncle Danzo!”
“I’m sorry.”
Seizawa Shii says hello and Seizawa Eiji apologizes. The parties involved, Minamoto Ushin and Taira Danzo, did not look very upset. This is because none of his own children or grandchildren showed cute affection as brightly as Seizawa Shii, so he admired Seizawa Shii’s cute acting since childhood.
“Hello?”
Taira Kanna greeted Ushin Minamoto, Eiji Seizawa, Kazuo Kujo, etc. With an expressionless face like a doll. Unlike Seizawa Shii, who was friendly, she bowed in a formal manner. The relationship between Taira and Minamoto was famous, and unlike Seizawa Shii, who was one step away, Taira Kanna was one of the inevitable parties.
“Big… ! “I’m done.”
Because Taira Kanna came, Taira Danzo got up to eat. Taira Danzo and Taira Kanna left, and Minamoto Ushin smiled and took out his wallet.
“Hehe, shall I give you pocket money?”
Minamoto Ushin opened his wallet with a smile because he cared very much for Minamoto Risa’s best friend, Seiza and Shii. When I gave Seizawa Shii pocket money that seemed to be equivalent to a normal person’s monthly salary, Seizawa Shii smiled brightly and hugged Ushin Minamoto.
“As expected of you, Mr. Wooshin~! I don’t have to work part-time this month☆”
“Don’t you give me money at home?”
“I have to give back as much as I get for my house, so I have a part-time job~!”
Because allowances and family support were family customs, Minamoto Ushin did not say anything to Seizawa Eiji.
“Lisa, I would like to give you pocket money, but if you, a politician, give pocket money, it could be considered a bribe.”
Seizawa Eiji spoke to Risa Minamoto with an embarrassed expression as he looked at Seizawa Shii receiving his pocket money. Minamoto Risa smiled slightly and said it was okay.
“Joy! “We are the ones giving the bribe, but politicians who are on the receiving end cannot say things like that!”
Minamoto Ushin was kind to Seizawa Shii, but merciless to Seizawa Eiji.
“I’m sorry for being such a dad, Uncle Wooshin!”
“You have nothing to be sorry about. “We’ll come back after eating, so I’ll see you later.”
“Yes~!”
When Seizawa Shii and Seizawa Eiji disappeared, Minamoto Ushin and Minamoto Lisa headed to the prepared meal. The two settled down in the academy’s luxurious reception room and began eating sushi prepared by a top-notch sushi chef.
“Lisa, you are doing well this semester. My grades are good, and I go to school without missing anything…”
“I’m working hard.”
Ushin Minamoto let out a sigh in response to the frustrating flow of conversation not continuing. Risa Minamoto is his favorite daughter, but unlike her childhood, she now maintains an awkward attitude. She shows a cold-hearted attitude because if she catches sight of her daughter caring for her daughter to her other children or to forces outside of her, Risa Minamoto might become her target. But she was still his beloved daughter. She wanted to have a personal conversation when they were alone together.
“Yeah, yeah. How is the new homeroom teacher? “I’m sure he’s not a mean-spirited guy like my last homeroom teacher, right?”
“Yes. He is a very nice person.”
In an attempt to somehow continue the conversation, Ushin Minamoto talked about his newly appointed homeroom teacher, and Risa Minamoto responded with a warm smile. At first, she was flattered by Risa Minamoto’s smile, but after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that this smile was not directed at her father, but at the blonde homeroom teacher.
‘This… Blonde gangster… ! Are you bewitching my daughter?’
“What are you thinking?”
Suddenly, Ushin Minamoto’s expression turned red, and Lisa Minamoto tilted her head and asked.
“Oh, no. “I thought for a moment about giving my homeroom teacher a gift since I heard that he was doing well.”
“You don’t have to do it because you’ll feel burdened.”
Minamoto Lisa’s sharp rejection lit a fire in Minamoto Ushin’s heart once again.
‘I can’t believe you’re thinking more about the teacher’s position in front of me…! I really don’t like it!’
She was Taira Ryuta, whose favorability rating for Ushin Minamoto was decreasing without her knowledge.
