Chapter 94: Yumi-chan is Full of Energy

Hearing Kitahara put it this way, Matsuda Yumi was finally put completely at ease.

She was a kind-hearted girl by nature, and making such a mess of someone else’s place left her feeling a pang of guilt and self-blame that was hard to shake off.

As long as Kitahara had thought things through comprehensively, it was fine—a heavy weight lifted off her shoulders.

Able to lay her mind to rest, she continued to relax quietly and recover her strength.

Through several interactions and exchanges, Matsuda Yumi gradually began to gain a clearer, more comprehensive understanding of herself.

She slowly realized that various differences existed between people, which was the most normal thing in the world.

Although facing these differences at first made her feel lost and bewildered—even distressed—she gradually learned to accept and adapt to them.

After all, as the saying goes: there are no two identical leaves in the world.

People were the same.

Everyone possessed their own unique personality, experiences, and set of values, each being one of a kind.

Therefore, since this fact couldn’t be changed, Matsuda Yumi chose to strive to accept it, embracing and enjoying life with a positive and optimistic attitude.

Of course, the main reason was still that Kitahara-senpai didn’t mind it—this gave her immense encouragement, enabling her to level out her mindset so quickly.

Kitahara-senpai was truly wonderful!

Not only did he not dislike it, he actually seemed to like it very much...

...

After a short nap, time reached noon.

Kitahara dialed the internal line to arrange for the waiter to deliver some delicious and palatable food up to the room.

Speaking of which, high-end luxury hotels truly performed exceptionally well in this regard, offering thoughtful and efficient service. Before long, various exquisite meals were presented right before their eyes one by one.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, the two rested for a brief moment before diving into another round of research and exchange. They explored each other’s bodies, and at this moment, he was investigating another path into her body — specifically, the second hole. But of course, given the current situation, Yumi still didn’t have enough strength or experience to let him do it.

During this time, now discussing questions, now sharing insights, the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.

In this manner, time flew by imperceptibly, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.

Finally, as the city lights began to twinkle, the two decided to step out of the room together to experience the lively world outside.

As luck would have it, Matsuda Yumi’s astonishing physical stamina was laid bare at this moment.

You had to know that today’s work intensity had been far from low, yet after merely a brief period of rest and adjustment, she was able to swiftly recover her vital energy.

It was as if her previous fatigue had never happened at all.

Her whole person once again radiated with vitality and brilliance, making Kitahara tsk in wonder.

...

The streets of Tokyo at night were as lively as ever.

The two strolled along the streets, holding hands among the bustling marketplace like an ordinary couple, weaving through the crowded throng.

Or stopping to admire the exquisite goods displayed in the shop windows along the street, or being drawn in by the waves of aroma drifting from the roadside food stalls.

Matsuda Yumi was no longer the timid, naive girl she used to be; having gone through tempering, she had grown and matured.

That past greenness had quietly faded away, replaced by a mature charm that came from experiencing the world.

Her arched eyebrows stretched like a crescent moon, and her bright eyes shone brilliantly.

Her already pretty and tender face now bore an added touch of captivating, enchanting radiance, every frown and smile exuding a thousand types of charm.

Not only that, Matsuda Yumi’s figure had also grown increasingly graceful and supple.

Her waist was slender enough to be held in one hand, the lines of her legs elegant and smooth, a simple yet elegant dress perfectly outlining her alluring body curves.

Love had allowed her to bloom with dazzling, eye-catching radiance...

Because she still felt somewhat uncomfortable and fatigued, before long, Matsuda Yumi showed signs of weariness.

Kitahara was mindful of her feelings; after having dinner, he brought her back to the hotel room to rest.

This night was extraordinarily peaceful.

The entire world seemed submerged in a blanket of tranquility, with only the moonlight spilling through the window to cast silver-white light, shadows, and ripples.

While Kitahara and Matsuda Yumi, amidst this serenity, drifted into a deep dreamland...

The next morning, after delivering Matsuda Yumi back home, Kitahara returned home to spend the remainder of the weekend with the Hayami mother and daughter.

In the blink of an eye, a new week began once again.

On Monday morning, Kitahara Chiki received two phone calls.

One was from Section Chief Miyamoto at the bank, saying he had selected three properties that met Kitahara’s requirements and invited him over to take a look.

The other was from Editor Suzuki, the content of which left him thoroughly surprised.

It turned out that someone had actually taken a shine to the anime adaptation rights for his goblin novel, wanting to purchase them and requesting an in-person meeting to discuss the matter.

This news was so unexpected that Kitahara was stunned on the spot for a moment.

When creating this novel initially, he had considered such a possibility.

Who could have guessed that someone would actually be willing to buy it so soon!

Is this person a fool... no, wait, isn’t this person’s vision way too good!

Even Kitahara admired this buyer’s unique foresight and keen market insight.

Out of so many novels, to spot his uniquely styled tale of love and hate between a young girl and goblins at a single glance required extraordinary vision and courage.

This was a ruthless character indeed!

You had to know that the production costs for this stuff were very high—once made, it couldn’t be sold to TV stations, only as home video tapes.

Could they even make money?

Even Kitahara was doubtful.

Because he had agreed to Section Chief Miyamoto first, Kitahara went to the bank first, deciding to settle the house matter before going to discuss the copyright sale.

The two made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop near the bank, and before long, Kitahara arrived at the destination.

Section Chief Miyamoto was already waiting at the entrance of the coffee shop.

Without excessive pleasantries, they went directly to view the properties.

Upon seeing the second place, Kitahara felt it was pretty good:

"Section Chief Miyamoto, no need to look at the third house. Let’s go with this one!"

This was a spacious three-bedroom apartment with a total area of nearly one hundred square meters. Its internal layout was sensible and airy, making one feel a sense of openness and comfort the moment they stepped inside.

Because it was located inside a super-high-rise apartment building, situated above the twentieth floor, the view was exceptional.

Standing before the window and gazing outside, the bustling sights of the city were completely in view, as if the entire world could be held within one’s arms.

Moreover, this was a brand-new apartment, fully decorated with refined interiors, and no one had lived in it yet.

It matched Kitahara’s expectations very well.

"Ha’i! Mr. Kitahara, the total price for this property is 40.8 million yen. See if this is acceptable to you?" Miyamoto said respectfully.

"Acceptable. Just like last time, I’ll pay a portion as a deposit first, and when Yumi-chan signs the purchase agreement later, the remaining amount will be paid. Miyamoto-san, I’ll have to trouble you again to arrange for people to carefully clean this place, making sure it’s swept thoroughly."

"Ha’i! No problem at all, these are trivial, minor matters! Mr. Kitahara, thank you for your patronage and care toward me. I would like to request an opportunity to express my gratitude to you properly.

I wonder when you might be free? I’ll host and invite you to Hokkaido for a hot spring bath to relax your body and mind..."
