Inside the hospital,
Kojima Bin was following right behind Fujiwara Shunsui, exactly like Nissho Taro used to follow Harumizu.
The two men entered Kojou Yuna's hospital room one after the other.
Kojima Bin, standing by the door, lowered his head and secretly glanced at Kojou Yuna inside the room.
By this time, Kojou Yuna had mostly recovered; just as the doctor had said, suffering such a horrific car accident yet only sustaining minor scratches was already a blessing in disguise.
Kojou Yuna was currently sitting on the hospital bed eating an apple that Nissho Taro had bought for her.
It had to be said that Nissho Taro was quite skilled at anticipating the needs of others.
He could always grasp everyone's preferences and provide them at the most appropriate time.
Perhaps this was the main reason Nissho Taro was able to transform from a low-level gangster into a nightclub general manager.
The ability to read people had been honed in Nissho Taro over the past ten years by Fujiwara Shunsui.
"Harumizu-sama!"
Seeing Fujiwara Shunsui enter the room,
no matter how close their relationship was, Nissho Taro still bowed to Harumizu as usual.
This was "training"!
Kojou Yuna saw Nissho Taro maintaining this demeanor, rolled her eyes at him exasperatedly, and then deliberately avoided Fujiwara Shunsui's gaze.
She could already guess what Fujiwara Shunsui was going to say,
because Miya Harukiko had already texted her this morning asking for her opinion.
Seeing Kojou Yuna deliberately turn her head away,
Fujiwara Shunsui felt puzzled but remained silent.
Instead, he picked up an apple from the table and walked toward Taro:
"Oh! Taro, you still remember that I love apples, you even prepared one for me ahead of time."
Nissho Taro didn't respond. He wisely greeted Kojima Bin, who was standing behind Fujiwara Shunsui, and said:
"Thank you for your hard work yesterday. I suddenly remembered some important Syndicate matters that I need to emphasize to you!"
After speaking, Nissho Taro cast a pleading look at Fujiwara Shunsui,
as if saying:
"For heaven's sake, can you two please stop involving me in your affairs! Let me go!"
Fujiwara Shunsui saw the request in Nissho Taro's eyes,
rolled his eyes at him internally, and then waved his hand, saying: "Go on, go on!"
At the same time, he didn't forget to add a thought internally:
"It's such a pain having this kid run interference."
Fortunately, Fujiwara Shunsui did not say that sentence out loud.
If Nissho Taro had heard it,
the resentment in Nissho Taro's heart would probably take three days and three nights to express fully.
He always ran interference for him, and always got caught in the middle.
Luckily, Yuna-chan didn't hold these things against him, or else much of his operating capital, or even his salary, might not get approved.
Kojima Bin was also very tactful and followed Nissho Taro out of the room.
Outside the hospital room,
although Kojima Bin looked tired, he was still very excited as he looked at Nissho Taro and asked:
"Taro-sama, what exactly is the important matter?"
Nissho Taro gave him an annoyed look and replied in a low voice:
"What important matters could there be? Harumizu-sama and Yuna-chan's private time is what's important!"
"Oh~!"
Kojima Bin's look of sudden realization made Nissho Taro feel quite pleased.
He slightly lifted his chin, as if saying, "Learn from this, kid!"
... Fujiwara Shunsui sat on the edge of Kojou Yuna's bed, looking sincerely at the woman who was eating an apple,
and asked with exceptional gentleness:
"What have you decided?"
Although he could never recall how the conflict between him and Kojou Yuna started,
through their interactions over this recent period,
he could clearly feel that Yuna had feelings for him too.
Harumizu himself even felt that the woman he should cherish and make amends to the most was Kojou Yuna.
Because he didn't know how much this woman had sacrificed for him behind the scenes,
the more important it was for his attitude and tone to be careful and sincere.
Kojou Yuna frowned slightly,
and looked at Fujiwara Shunsui with some confusion:
"Is this really still you?"
Kojou Yuna had asked this question in her heart more than once,
but every time she realized that the man in front of her was different from before,
she would ask herself again and again:
"Is he Fujiwara Shunsui?"
"Is he really Fujiwara Shunsui?"
But clearly, physics still existed;
this man was always completely and physically present in front of her.
Fujiwara Shunsui seemed to think of something amusing, leaned in, and whispered into Kojou Yuna's ear:
"Then didn't Kiko-chan tell you how I'm different from before?"
Hearing Fujiwara Shunsui say this, Kojou Yuna's ears immediately turned red, and the blush spread across her cheeks at a noticeable pace.
"What are you talking about? I don't know!"
The man who used to never even crack a joke was now full of suggestive comments. Kojou Yuna turned her head away again.
Harumizu was certain that his current self would not make Kojou Yuna angry;
instead, his occasional teasing was slowly improving her mood.
[system prompt]
[Although Kojou Yuna has sensed the Host's changes and even briefly wondered if the Host is the real Fujiwara Shunsui! However, the other party seems quite fond of this change! Kojou Yuna Favorability Rating +1 (This Favorability Rating increase will not count toward the mission reward)]
[Kojou Yuna Favorability Rating: 77/100]
Lately, Fujiwara Shunsui had completely given up worrying about it.
After all, in his current view,
since Kojou Yuna was his ex-girlfriend, her Favorability Rating naturally wouldn't be below 90; this was Fujiwara Shunsui's current understanding of the system.
Since the main romance mission with Miya Harukiko was only triggered after her Favorability Rating reached 90,
Kojou Yuna's initial Favorability Rating should be at least that high, if not higher.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible that even after her Favorability Rating dropped so much,
Kojou Yuna would still follow him to Shinjuku without complaint and help him manage some of the Syndicate's financial issues!
Most girls are just more sentimental!
With the system prompt, Fujiwara Shunsui felt like he had been given wings.
He aggressively leaned toward Kojou Yuna.
Kojou Yuna felt Fujiwara Shunsui's movement and turned her head in surprise:
"What are you doing!"
Fujiwara Shunsui squinted at Kojou Yuna and let out two "hehe" chuckles, clearly up to no good!
However, Kojou Yuna seemed to misunderstand Fujiwara Shunsui and quickly spoke in a low voice:
"Are you crazy? This is a hospital! Kojima Bin and Taro are still outside!"
She then gently pushed Fujiwara Shunsui away with her hand.
Fujiwara Shunsui was stunned for a moment, then imitated Kojou Yuna's tone and said:
"I just wanted you to secretly tell me whether or not you're willing to live with us!"
"What were you thinking?"
"Why did you push me away!"
"I thought you were too shy to answer directly, which is why I wanted to lean closer to you!"
Hearing Harumizu's explanation, Kojou Yuna's already flushed cheeks turned completely red, like an apple.
At the same time, she felt even less inclined to respond to Fujiwara Shunsui.
She truly hadn't expected that,
after being with Fujiwara Shunsui for so many years, she would ultimately still be teased by this bad man.
Fujiwara Shunsui leaned close to Kojou Yuna again and whispered:
"I'm also thinking about your safety! Plus, I've already prepared the master bedroom for you and Kiko-chan; you can move in right away!"
"Nani? I'm living with Kiko-san?"
This was the first time Fujiwara Shunsui had genuinely captured Kojou Yuna's attention.
"Of course!"
Fujiwara Shunsui seemed to understand something and looked at Kojou Yuna with a surprised expression.
Finally, the girl gave him a happy smile:
"In that case, I'm willing to live together, the three of us!"
