Tokyo Tutor: Starting with My Ex-Girlfriend's Sister

At dinner, Mrs. Himeno still hadn't returned. Seizing the opportunity, Himeno Natsuki asked Yamazaki Kazuka for a private conversation.

"Mr. Yamazaki, I have some items on the high shelf in my studio. Could you please get them down for me?"

"Sister, can't you find a chair and stand on it?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"No problem, Miss Natsuki, I'll get it for you later."

Yamazaki Kazuka noticed that Himeno Natsuki was troubled, so he granted her request.

As night falls, streetlights illuminate the Himeno family's back garden.

In the depths of the garden, you can occasionally see fireflies flitting among the flowers.

This is Tokyo, where fireflies are considered rare animals.

"Natsuki, you didn't call me here just to get something from the shelf, did you?"

"That's right. But don't get the wrong idea. I'm not so desperate as to make you run back after get off work for something like that. I'm not that hungry."

Himeno Natsuki handed a stack of documents to Yamazaki Kazukaze.

"What is this?"

Yamazaki Kazuka took the documents and looked at them carefully. He found that all his personal information was written on them.

"How did they even find out that my maternal grandfather's family runs a diving club in Okinawa?!"

Yamazaki and Fuuki laughed.

"This is the power of the Himeno family."

Looking at the documents in his hand, Yamazaki Kazuka fell silent. The Himeno family had thoroughly investigated his ancestors for eighteen generations, and there were some things he didn't even know.

"Does your wife know?"

"My mom doesn't know yet. I intercepted this document when it was delivered today. Luckily, it was a close call."

"What do we do now?"

"I'll keep it a secret from my mom, so you need to get her approval as soon as possible."

Himeno Natsuki wondered what Yamazaki Kazuka would have to do to get her mother to withstand the pressure from the Himeno family and agree to their marriage.

Besides Mom, there's Dad. He's the real head of the family, but he doesn't get involved in household affairs.

But surely he'll be involved in his own marriage, won't he? Will He Feng pass his scrutiny?

"What should I do?"

"Starting with Saki's birthday party this time, I told Mom that you and I would organize this birthday party together."

"If this birthday party can bring our family closer together, I believe she will approve of you even more. Ultimately, I hope she will accept that I will marry a man who has no power or influence, but who can make me happy."

"Natsuki, you've really changed."

A relieved smile appeared on Yamazaki Kazuka's face.

"How have I changed?"

"You've matured. Before, you always insisted on eloping with me, wanting me to take you back to Hokkaido and live in anonymity."

"When I was in high school, I had no concept of the Himeno family's power. It wasn't until I went abroad that I understood. Unless we run to the moon, no matter where we escape to, the Himeno family can find us."

"It's okay, we'll handle this together."

"Can you hug me for a bit before you leave work, Kaze?"

"it is good."

Meanwhile, in the Himeno family's living room, Keiko Inoue and Seiyuki Himeno returned to the Himeno family home together.

The two arrived in the living room and found that Yamazaki Kazuka and Himeno Natsuki were not there.

"Did Yamazaki-sensei go to get something for Natsuki? Are those guys really that careless? They actually put things out of Natsuki's reach."

Himeno Kiyoyuki sat on the sofa, complaining about the staff who were setting up the venue. Inoue Keiko, on the other hand, felt a little bitter.

What would a man and a woman do in a small house in the backyard?

Soon after, Himeno Natsuki and Yamazaki Kaze arrived in the living room.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yamazaki. This should have been the work of those staff members."

"It's no trouble at all. It was just a small favor."

"Wafu, it's time to go home."

Keiko Inoue stood up somewhat displeased, then reached out and took Yamazaki Kazuka's hand in front of the Himeno family, as if asserting her dominance.

[Keiko Inoue, this is my house, don't go too far!]

Himeno Natsuki glared hatefully at Inoue Keiko.

【Well done! That's exactly what Keiko should do.】

Himeno Kiyoyuki was quite satisfied with Inoue Keiko, who was even bolder than during the day.

After Keiko Inoue left, Natsuki Himeno immediately went to talk to her mother, but her mother spoke first.

"Natsuki, you need to keep your distance from Yamazaki-sensei from now on. Look, even Aunt Keiko is jealous. This is Japan, not Europe; the atmosphere isn't that open here."

"Mom, I just asked Mr. Yamazaki for help."

"Mom knows, but it's not good for a girl like you to be alone in a room with a guy at night."

"Mom, I understand. But I'm with Mr. Yamazaki for serious business."

In order to allow herself to be alone in a room with Yamazaki Kazuka for an extended period of time, Himeno Natsuki began to look for a suitable reason.

"Important business, what important business?"

Himeko asked with some curiosity.

"Mom, isn't Saki's birthday this week? Yamazaki-sensei and I are planning something for her."

"No need for that trouble, Mom will take care of it."

"Mom, you've already gone through so much for me to come back to China. Now it's time for you to rest. Let me throw a birthday party for Saki."

"What if what you do doesn't suit Saki's taste? She might give you a hard time, and then you'll have wasted your effort."

"You make a good point. I'll leave this matter to you and Professor Yamazaki."

"And Mom, don't let Saki Ryo know about this."

"She doesn't even know it's her birthday."

"I mean, don't let her know that Mr. Yamazaki and I are doing this for her. I want to give her a surprise."

What surprise do you want to give her?

"Of course, it's a birthday cake I made myself."

"A birthday cake you made yourself? That's interesting. I'll look forward to it then. But be careful what you say when you're working with Mr. Yamazaki."

"I understand, Mom."

Despite her ambiguous attitude towards Yamazaki Kazukaze, her worldly-wise mother failed to notice and even encouraged another woman to pursue Yamazaki Kazukaze.

This shows that Mom never even considered making Yamazaki Kazukazu a son-in-law of the Himeno family.

Realizing that the road ahead was long and arduous, Himeno Natsuki felt a wave of weariness. However, the thought of having Kaze by her side gave her the courage to keep going.

This time, I must do even better than I did in high school and achieve a happy ending.

The next morning, the public relations department of Himeno Group received a thank-you gift from Himeno Natsuki: a box of exquisite little cakes.

Everyone present was happy, except for a few people who looked somber as they went to the supervisor's office.

"Did you all receive cakes like this?"

"That's right."

The people in the office looked at each other in bewilderment. Supervisor Kimura Kanmi sighed helplessly.

Because her cake had a special design printed on it.

[Those who keep secrets live long - by Himeno Natsuki]

The accompanying image shows a decapitated samurai and a second with his finger raised to his lips.

Fortunately, the Himeno family has cleaned up their act and gone straight; otherwise, there would probably be a rotting dead fish or a dead cat on my desk.

"Ms. Kimura, what should we do now?"

"Is that person named Yamazaki Kazukazu still in contact with Ms. Himeno Natsuki?"

"I don't know."

"Go and investigate. If the two have already broken off contact, there's no need for us to meddle."

"But what if they're still in contact?"

"I will speak with Mrs. Himeno Kiyoyuki in person at the regular shareholders' meeting in September."

"Yes. What should we do with this cake?"

"Eat up. After all, this was a gift from Ms. Himeno. We must eat it with gratitude. Also, have you heard about that news?"

"Rumors are circulating online that when Ms. Hime returned, she forced Ms. Chiba to drink heavily at the banquet and got her drunk. You should pay close attention to this news, and all related information must be deleted."

"Yes."

"Sigh, why did such a dignified person like Mrs. Hime give birth to those two little devils?"

After everyone had left, Kimura Kanmi couldn't help but make a comment, followed by a wry smile.

Her uncle was an education expert at the University of Tokyo, with countless students, but his granddaughter turned out to be a landmine.

A while ago, he even asked himself if he could find a tutor for his niece.

I specifically told myself not to let my colleagues know about this.

It's ridiculous.

After finishing the cake, Kimura Kanmi tidied up the table.

When she picked up Yamazaki Kazuka's personal information again, she glanced at it casually like an HR professional, a cold smile appearing on her face.

The University of Tokyo? That sounds good.

Unfortunately, the Himeno Group recruits hundreds of college students from prestigious universities at home and abroad, including the University of Tokyo and Waseda University, every year.

A bachelor's degree from the University of Tokyo was merely a stepping stone for the Himeno Group.

The University of Tokyo graduates 3500 undergraduates every year. Does he really think he can marry the jewel of the Himeno family with such a meager degree?

That's absolutely hilarious.

I believe that Ms. Hime was just playing around with him when she was in high school and didn't know any better.

Kimura Kanmi tossed Yamazaki Kazufu's personal information into the cabinet on her desk like trash.

In her view, the possibility of Yamazaki Kazuka marrying Himeno Natsuki is no different from a toad eating swan meat.
