Chapter 42: Chapter 32
"Y-yes, p-papa wanted me to inherit our medical company, ."
"Ah, your mom told me about that, don't consider that for now, it is still far from the future and we can have all the study you wanted."
"How are you saying these things, w-we just t-turn into a c-couples, your already thinking about that." Maki rolled her eyes.
"Because you said so, well I don't plan to let you go, he-he" Hiroto felt a bit shy about what he said, of course it was cringy but then the reactions of the carmine haired girl wearing a cute dress was totally worth it.
"You, stupid lecher, always saying things like that, w-well I'll count on you from now on but.."
"I still don't know much a-about c-c-couples stuff." Maki fidgeted as she twirled her hair.
"We just have to bother both ourselves with our things, that's what couples do." Hiroto scratched his head.
"...."
Shio saw Hiroto and Maki holding hands talking about sweetly that the area around them was affected by a pink aura. Until she approached as Maki began to flustered and raised from her seat.
"Ara, ara, it's seems like you two had a good time." Shio saw
"Mama, what are you doing here?"
"You're asking me?, you asked me to fetch you, did you not?, or you don't want your lovely time to get disrupted?, then I'll go now…" Shio joked as she turned around but Maki instantly replied to her.
"No.. your not d-disrupting!..." Maki raised her hands and waved it.
'Why does everyone loves to tease me.' Maki angry pout as she looked at her mother who was looking at her with a teasing face.
"You had a great time already, your papa was worried where you have gone so he asked me to fetch you earlier, sorry Hiroto-kun" Shio sighed as she looked at him but he just nonchalantly said it was okay, since it was her father who wanted her to be already home at this time.
"No, its okay Shio-san, we're at fault we forgot about the time."
"Seems like your relationship have gone increase now, what to do my little daughter was taken already, hu-hu"
"Mama!, stop that.." Shio continued.
"Just don't make Maki cry Hiroto-kun you know what would happen right?
'In the first place you also pushed me to pursue her. And now.. well I can't say that to her..' Hiroto rolled his eyes.
"Okay, I promise.." Hiroto closed his fist.
"Well, good luck PianoKun…"
"Ehh?"
"See you t-tommorow, H-hiroto-kun" Maki was a bit sad since their date had come to an end.
"Same to me….." Hiroto rubbed her head, though he sure would have a chat with Maki this night time.
"I am not a kid mou…" Maki leered at her with a pout.
'Mah, it's comfortable so..'

Hiroto went home. He went to livestream again. Meanwhile, he already gained 20,000+ viewers already. He had gotten the subscriber function rolling and partnering with the platform had given him some earning already. Now he was at the top streamers on the platform.
With more than two weeks of daily live streaming more and more people noticed his awesome performance.
[This is really great, I love it…]
[Going to watch this again...😍😍]
"..."
Of course during this week's time, he had discussed to his mother about the original copyright for the songs and compositions. His mother had some power in the music industry so she helped him to acquire the copyrights through releasing it in albums using his recordings. Not much work was needed and since she also had a music production label for her, the process was smooth until the end.
Meanwhile, she was still surprised when she saw that he was also good at composing songs. She suddenly cried during their talk and cannot even hug him since it was just a video chat.
"Thank you, mom"
"You can be happy now that we had gotten your songs named to you. You can go wild with your live streaming more." Mamako still had tears but she removed it at to not show it to her face.
"Don't be sad, Mom."
"I am not sad..."
"And.."
"I will be going back this month end so lets see my daughter after I got back, I am looking forward to that..he-he"
"Eh?" Hiroto was confused while Mamako had a chuckle.
"I heard you got a girlfriend.., good for you Hiroto-kun."
"...."

"..."
"Isn't that crippling me, i-i can't easily grind now?!" Hiroto felt aggrieved.
"Why did the gacha price increased so much, it already resembles a P2W scenario for games. 'Sigh' It looks like I will be earning less when streaming now."
But at the end of the negatives, it implied that he had the chance to gain unnatural skills since it was basically said so.
[Host now had the chance to earn gacha reward tiers higher than the limit of this world.]
He sighed to calm himself. "I have all the time I need and I don't really need to rush."
"It might be better if I should haven't rolled that last gacha roll before earning a bit more. But 'sigh' there still an advantage of leveling up"
Like for example was the quest system and the improved reward sets for gacha albeit it had a lower chance.
"What a day.."
"But if I get more popular then again…" Hiroto sighed it seems that the system wanted me to be more popular.
"I haven't tried out the other skills" Hiroto realized that he had neglected some of the most powerful skills he had.

Sunday.
Hiroto went to the convenience store to buy some food and stuff. When he reached the convenience store, he saw Kirisu at the food shelf category holding two instant noodles in both hands deciding which one tasted better.
Hiroto approached her. "Kirisu-sensei, what are you doing?"
"Ah?! " Kirisu was surprised by the sudden call behind her back.
She moved back a bit as if to distance herself then looked behind her as she saw who it was.
"Ah, it's you Hiroto-kun" Kirisu sighed in relief.
"What are you doing here?" Kirisu asked.
"I came here to buy food and supplies something." Hiroto said.
"Well, then." Kirisu didn't stay longer anymore as she walked away although she was still holding o the two instant noodles.
"Sensei, You're still holding both of them are you planning to buy them together?"
Kirisu realized that she was still holding the noodles and also forgot to get a drink before going to the counter.
"I am planning to buy them together." Kirisu nodded and went to the counter.
Hiroto quickly selected random junk food and threw it to his tray. He also got drinks and 2 Oi Ochea tea before going to the counter.
Kirisu saw his quick reactions and was secretly surprised seeing him bringing his tray in quick paces.
"You seem to pick up junk foods, you know it's bad for the health right?."
"Yes, I want to try it out he-he. Anything is fine for me as long as my stomach have food inside then all is well" Hiroto said
"..."
After paying, they walked in the dark at night with street lamps lights that illuminate the roadway.
Hiroto suddenly handed one Oi Ochea Tea to Kirisu. Which she had a wide eyed but she composed instantly.
"Sensei, here's one for you. I haven't seen you buying drinks while you're in the store, I'm sorry if I bother you." Kirisu only nodded while she didn't actually have a drink and was in need of one, she would just make coffee if this didn't happen.
Kirisu looked at the bottle of drink he was reaching out though she hesitated but accepted it in the end..
"Thank you, but you didn't need to trouble yourself, here's 168 yen." Kirisu was collecting money from her wallet until he stopped her.
"No, no, you don't have to pay for it. Ah!, just think of this as my repayment for teaching me the other day." Hiroto waved his hand frantically.
"You don't have to thank me, it's a teacher's responsibility to help students in need of knowledge." Kirisu said while still counting the money in her hand.
Hiroto gave up and was going to take the money but he saw a motorcycle coming on Kirisu's way without headlights.
"EEEEEKKKK" Screech….!
"!!"
"Sensei! watch out!" Hiroto hugged her and pulled her to the other side.
Kirisu didn't have the chance to react as the coins fell on her hands and made clinking sound. She also saw the incoming motor that was weaving through the road until her vision got blocked. She wasn't able to react but she didn't feel the coldness of the roadway but someone's arms during the entire thing.
"Geezer! watch out! your headlights are not even turned on!" Hiroto shouted to the driver but continued to drive as if not hearing his shout.
'Probably drunk, I just hope he doesn't get to an accident with people.' Hiroto sighed
"Geez..that was close.." Hiroto remove his sweat with his free hand, though this world was peaceful enough in his perspective but accidents still do happen.
Kirisu on other hand closed her eyes tightly as she let Hiroto hug her. She had the same feeling she felt when he princess carried her to the infirmary.
"Kirisu-sensei, are you okay?" Hiroto looked at Kirisu with a worried expression.
"...." Kirisu's eyes were tightly shut.
"Sensei?" Hiroto let go of her hand but Kirisu didn't not move from his chest.
"It's okay now" Hiroto pats her head.
(AN: this is kawai)
Kirisu felt something clicked on her mind as her petrified body was able to move. After a moment, she realized her current situation. Her eyes that was shut before suddenly opened and pushed Hiroto away. He was surprised as he looked at Kirisu while regaining his balance.
"What's that for?" Hiroto grumbled.
"We can't do this!, we're teacher and student!" Kirisu felt shy.
"Eh? What do you mean sensei?"
"Misunderstanding!, forget what I said." Kirisu returned to her usual self in a blink of an eye.
Hiroto and Kirisu walked side by side heading home, thankfully with his reflexes, they were able to save the foods and things they bought.
'What a blunder, this isn't what a sensei should react to events like that. But thanks to him, I-i, we didn't get injured..hah.' Kirisu blushed as they walk, meanwhile, she secretly looked at Hiroto's face and saw the calm looking and handsome face of his. It was glowing in her perspective and she instantly blush again as she looked away. Though she touch her hair out of persona.
'....I wonder what should I talk with sensei, I mean were neighbors already.' Hiroto thought and look at her for a moment. She was looking down on the ground while walking with him.
"Can I ask you something?." Hiroto broke the silence and asked.
"Eh?, go on.." Kirisu look at Hiroto with confusion.
"It might be out of the line for me to ask this but when did sensei start teaching?" Hiroto felt curious, he looked at the silent gazing Kirisu and then he followed up.
"I-i mean, there could be other paths you could have taken, since your a skater, you should have a good physical ability right? yet.. you became a teacher." Hiroto lightly rubbed his cheek and said.
"....." Kirisu was unable to speak as if deciding whether she should say something or not.
After a moment of silent she began to talk.
"In the past, I admired a teacher. He was rather an odd teacher" Kirisu telling her past unconsciously smiled.
'You might be odder than him..' But Hiroto saw her unconcious grateful smile, it was beautiful in all aspects.
"He was always there to help the students...although he was clumsy but he always show his genuine personality. Even if he was under pressure or other things he would show a joyful smile on his face." Kirisu stop under a street lamp pole as she looked above, a sea of stars.
Hiroto noticed Kirisu who stopped walking as he turned around to look at her unmoving body that was looking at the starry night sky. She raised her hand as if trying to catch a star.
