Chapter 547: This is everything that I think

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

"That\'s about everything. I hope that you understand what I mean."

Seiji ended the phone conversation after saying that.

Why did it feel like he had just proposed marriage to Natsuya over the phone!?

Seiji inwardly commented on his own actions after he took some time to calm down.

Even though he wanted to express that he wouldn\'t give up, his meaning became slightly distorted due to Natsuya\'s question. Not to mention, he wasn\'t able to focus fully, so it ended up sounding almost like a marriage proposal…

They weren\'t even officially boyfriend and girlfriend, so weren\'t they skipping over too many steps!!

Should he call Natsuya again and calmly explain things to her?

\'No… the more I explain, the more chaotic it will get. I think that she\'ll understand what I meant,\' Seiji thought to himself.

The student council president was currently busy with being in a state of bliss.

If it wasn\'t for the fact that there was still someone with her, she might have remained in this state for a very long time.

"Could I ask what Seiji said just now?" Chiaki spoke after seeing that Natsuya had finally somewhat calmed down.

"He said… something that made me truly happy," Natsuya spoke gently as something flashed in her eyes.

Although that sounded almost like a marriage proposal just now, she was able to understand what Seiji truly meant after she calmed down.

He wouldn\'t give up, and he was willing to face any pressure and resolved himself to continue his relationship with her and continue improving their feelings for each other… it wasn\'t that he was saying he wanted to get engaged to her right here and now.

She was quite happy to learn that he shared romantic feelings with her.

And so, she was able to confirm what she wanted as well.

"Wakaba-san, I agree to what you\'re offering to me," Natsuya made her reply.

Chiaki instantly widened her eyes in surprise.

"Really?" Chiaki never expected Natsuya to agree so easily right after that conversation with Seiji!

"For real." Natsuya nodded slightly in confirmation and appeared quite calm.

Chiaki truly felt that the scion had an unshakable presence to her and felt that calling her an "Empress" was a truly suitable nickname.

Natsuya was beautiful and out of this world, emotional yet also reasonable, and had her own truly imposing aura that was different from everyone else…

\'No, if I keep thinking along these lines, I\'ll start falling in love with her instead!\'

Once again, the tomboy stopped her mind from going off track.

"Thank you… I shall do good at what I should do."

"I look forward to your actions, Wakaba-san."

-----

Later that afternoon.

Seiji once again received another phone call from Aoran Yoruhana.

"I\'d like to ask when you would be free, Haruta-san?"

"I\'m free right now."

"Could you come visit the Yoruhana Family\'s residence, then?"

"Sure." Seiji decided to directly accept.

He then notified Shika that he was going out and prepared his things.

Shika silently watched him exiting the apartment as something flashed in her eyes.

Seiji took a taxi to the Yoruhana Family residence\'s address.

When he arrived, as he expected, he saw a magnificent gate before the residence.

The gate opened and allowed him to enter on foot. Seiji saw that a black luxury car was parked at the entrance of the gate. This car was waiting specially for him to pick him up.

Seiji got on the luxury car. The car drove down the a forested path and brought him to an extravagant Sakura Island residence.

A maid wearing traditional Sakura Island attire was waiting for him and led him inside.

Seiji was led to a spacious and well-lit room. He could see a beautiful and elegant garden through the window with wonderful scenery.

A young man wearing plain Sakura Island attire was sitting at a table. This man had short dark-brown hair, a rather round face, and was somewhat pudgy. He still had a handsome appearance, and physically resembled Natsuya.

Many desserts and some tea were set out on the table in front of this man. Every confectionery was highly exquisite. There were desserts in both the Sakura Island style as well as the Huaxia style. The most eye-catching dessert was a small plate of white rabbit-shaped dumplings.

"Pleased to meet you. Good afternoon, Haruta-san." The young man—Aoran Yoruhana smiled as he looked towards Seiji.

"Pleased to meet you. Good afternoon, Yoruhana-san," Seiji responded with the same greeting.

"Welcome. Please take a seat and try some of these desserts." Aoran indicated to him while pouring some tea for Seiji. "I hope that they\'re to your liking."

Seiji sat down across from Aoran.

"I\'ll make myself at home, then." Seiji picked up some chopsticks and took a white and soft dumpling, placing it in his mouth.

With a single bite, he instantly felt an appetizing aroma spreading through his mouth. The dumpling was soft and tender, and the meat was fragrant. The fresh scent of shrimp filled the dumpling.

Aoran smiled and asked, "How is it?"

"Delicious… this shrimp dumpling is quite wonderful," Seiji replied.

"Try some of this as well. It\'s excellent in combination with this shrimp dumpling."

As the host wished, Seiji tried out numerous confectioneries as well as sipped on some tea.

Aoran also picked up a pair of chopsticks and began eating. With every dessert he ate, he would mention what he thought of it and what the taste was like, how much he liked it, where he purchased each dessert from, and which store had the best desserts, how other desserts of the same type were… and so on, and so on.

\'It seems that Natsuya\'s second older brother must be a glutton,\' Seiji thought to himself.

He simply ate delicious desserts while listening to Aoran go on and on about the food.

Imperceptibly, all the desserts on the table were now eaten.

Aoran had actually eaten most of the desserts. Even though he was constantly talking while eating, he actually ate at a much faster pace than Seiji.

"How about some more desserts?"

"No need. Thank you for the offer."

"There\'s no need to be polite. You really wouldn\'t like some more?"

"There\'s truly no need."

"Alright then, I\'ll just have to enjoy them by myself." Aoran took out his cell phone and sent a text message.

He was actually going to eat even more! Seiji now understood why Aoran had a round face and a pudgy appearance.

Soon, a maid arrived with a large tray of desserts that were different from the desserts earlier placed on the table. Another maid also arrived with a new kettle of tea.

The maids placed the confectioneries and the tea on the table and exited the room again. Aoran continued eating, commenting on each and every dessert as he ate.

Seiji didn\'t know what to say to all this.

He didn\'t object so much to hearing all this dessert commentary, but… when was this Aoran fellow going to get on to the main topic?

"Yoruhana-san, although it\'s quite interesting to hear you discuss the wonderful topic of desserts, shouldn\'t you be more concerned about your free time?" Seiji politely reminded Aoran about what they were here for.

"There\'s no need to mind me. I\'m completely free for this entire afternoon." Aoran smiled.

Seiji was rendered speechless.

Was this some sort of test regarding his personality?

\'Sure, why not? It\'s not like I\'m in a rush. I can wait. Let\'s see just how long you can talk about desserts.\'

Seiji adjusted his mentality and remained calm. He simply observed Aoran eating desserts and listened to his comments. Occasionally, Seiji even responded to Aoran\'s dessert comments.

Time passed just like this.

After Aoran finished the second round of desserts, he ate a third round. Then after that, he ate a fourth round. Only after the fourth round did he finally stop and reveal an expression of satisfaction.

"Eating wonderful desserts and sharing one\'s joy is truly such a blissful thing. Don\'t you agree?"

"…Indeed."

\'Although, as I\'m the one who simply watched as you ate all those desserts, I probably didn\'t have as much fun as you did,\' Seiji commented in his mind.

Aoran smiled at Seiji while something flashed in Aoran\'s eyes.

"Let\'s get to the point… Haruta-san, just what exactly do you think?"

The moment he spoke this, the atmosphere in the room changed. The talkative glutton instantly transformed into the second young master of the Yoruhana Family.

Seiji focused his gaze as he sensed the change in Aoran\'s aura.

"I won\'t leave Natsuya," Seiji spoke directly.

Several seconds of silence fell between them.

"That\'s it?"

"That\'s it."

"I\'d like to hear your more specific thoughts."

"I don\'t really have any more specific thoughts. I won\'t leave her. That\'s all I\'m thinking right now."

There was no need to say anything more than this. That was what Seiji believed.

A sharp glint appeared in Aoran\'s eyes.

"The current you will become an eyesore to the Yoruhana Family if you don\'t leave Natsuya now."

"I understand."

"Still, because you\'re still technically a member of the Haruta Family, it\'s inconvenient for us to take forceful measures with you."

"I comprehend."

"You showed off signs of talent, so it\'s quite likely that one day you\'ll be permitted to return to your family. You have outstanding potential. Still, potential is only potential, not actual power."

"I\'m quite clear on that."

"As long as you\'re willing to leave Natsuya, even if only temporarily, the Yoruhana Family is more than willing to compensate you handsomely."

"I don\'t need any such compensation."

Seiji answered every sentence with a resolute tone and expression.

Seiji and Aoran exchanged glances as things fell silent between them once again.
