Bab 20: Brand New Life in Anime World
So after waiting until it is 06.30, a luxurious car is stopped in front of my house.
Who else if not the Saegusa Family Car?
Chikane rolls down the window from the backseat of her family car and looked at me with her cold gaze.
"Get in." With just those two words out from her cold lips that looks so alluring like a ripe snow apricot, and the door in front that opened and leads to a seat beside the driver's seat, I enter the car and sit beside the driver.
Oh, the driver turns out to be the chief butler who looks at me with an envy and jealous look in his eyes last night.
He professionally locks his gaze to the front and ask if everyone is ready to go after I closed the door.
I say yes and Chikane just coolly nods her head to the driver who looks at her from the rearview mirror.
With that the driver also nod and drive the car steadily like an old dog to the east.
Of course the car will go from the Saegusa family in the west to Himemiya family in the east to picks up Kiseki first before going to the high school in the north.
And since the house I chose is located right in the middle, of Saegusa and Himemiya family house, it's just convenient for them to picks me up too on the way to school.
As for why the arrangement of seating in the car is a bit weird as I am sitting beside the driver while Chikane who is the actual Boss here is sitting in the backseat instead.
It's obviously so that Chikane can sit beside Kiseki on the back seat of the car.
Along the way to Himemiya house, I try to break the cold atmosphere by talking to Chikane.
Don't misunderstand me, it is one part of my plan to make a BIG Profit as soon as possible.
Although attempting to get a bit closer and break some ice with the Cold Queen Saegusa Chikane is also a bonus plan for me.
"Soooo..., sorry if this is a bit sudden, but Saegusa-san, I want to ask if your family have some channel to sell jewelries?" Yup, I still call her with her family name.
There is no way I will call her with her front name now as I know from the plot how cold she is to everyone aside from Kiseki and her own family.
Not to mention she still hold her grudge from yesterday, too.
Yup, no need to attract her wrath for now.
"Hm? Jewelries? Do you have some? My family business do have some jewelry shop" Chikane answered me, still with a cold attitude.
"Well, to be precise, it is some gold and gemstones that I have found from some monster's nest in my adventures." I said some bullshit about from where I got so many kinds of gemstones so they won't suspect me of robberies.
"So it's just gold and raw gemstones?
"Yes, the gemstones are still raw, I only polished them a bit but I think they will be a good material to make jewelry. Also, for the gold I just make them into gold leaves. Here is a sample." As I said that, I take out a diamond as big as a chicken egg and three pieces of gold leaves from my pocket (actually I just take them out from the System's Inventory but on the safe side, I used my pocket as cover.
I handed the diamond and the gold leaves to Chikane for her to see.
"..... you put something as precious as this in your pocket? Don't you fear of accidentally dropping and losing such a big jewel?"
Chikane is flabbergasted at seeing my action that she deemed as ridiculous.
The driver is also the same, hey hey, your profesionally calm and cold face is about to break.
"Well, I have a whole lot of them so losing one or two is no problem. If you like it, you can take them for free, just help me sell all those deadweights since I need money more than those rocks."
"Deadweights..... I see... for a penniless adventurer like you, money would be more important now." Saying something like that, Chikane still didn't forget to make a jab at me by calling me penniless.
She sure still hold her grudges.
"Got it, I will keep this for now. I will tell this to my parents later and see if they will be interested to buy your gems."
"Okay, thank you very much then."
After a little bit more talking, we arrived at Himemiya residence and picks up Kiseki who then sits beside Chikane.
"Good morning, Chikane-chan, and..., Ranata-kun....." Kiseki greets Chikane and me with a little blush in her face. Cute.
"Good morning too, Kiseki-san." Yup, unlike with Chikane, I already called Kiseki on first name basis already.
We have already kissed yesterday, albeit it is just me taking advan- cough cough, taking emergency treatment for Kiseki.
Anyway, after kissing, just calling each others with our first name is nothing strange for us now.
Kiseki do still blush a bit whenever she is seeing me, though.
But aside from that, she didn't seem to have any problems with me calling her with her first name.
She also calls me with my first name, too.
Just like in Yurihana no Miko (Shrine Maidens of the Lily Flowers), Kiseki in this world has a bright and open personality to everyone, just like a brilliant sun that shines brightly and illuminates everything in the world without any exception.
Must protecc. Oops, she is not a loli though. She is a proper high school girl ready to be savored ;)
Getting back to the story, we talked a bit on our way to the high school in the north.
When Kiseki heard that I have a lot of gemstones collected from my adventuring days and I am planning to sell them all off with the help of Saegusa family, her eyes sparks brilliantly like a happy kid seeing a new toy.
Looking at her like that, Chikane put out the diamond I just gave to her so that Kiseki can look at it.
"Wow..... Ranata's jewel is so BIG...."
Pfffftttttt!!!!!!!
Everyone in the cars immediately breaks their cools when they heard how innocently Kiseki talk about something with such innuendo.
Girl....., Phrasing!!!!!
Must you call it "my jewel" while praising it to be so BIG!?
If anyone else who is not in the know, they must be thinking of something quite indecent like my own "family jewel" when they hear what kind of words get out from her cute little mouth.

Author's Note:
Kiseki is innocently "naughty", eh?
Well, as someone who possess a fox-type bloodline, although for now I portray her as an innocent girl, I do plan that her character will develop to be more foxy as she grows up after her celestial fox bloodline is awakened.
