The slick slide of fingers over flesh revealed how wet he was now, and while he hated to own up to it, he had to admit: Kirishima’s fingers were amazing. Lots of chicks make comments about how you’re easier to talk to now.”, “Yeah right—and even if that’s the case, what exactly do you expect me to do about it?” It was helping nothing having all of Yokozawa’s faults simply pointed out for examination, so he pressed directly in an attempt to force him to get to the point, “Just what are you trying to get at here, anyway?”, “In short—while I’m thrilled if your changing like this was my doing, I don’t like that it’s making you more popular.”. Taking pity on Matsumoto as she stood there, shoulders slumped, Henmi raised a hand. Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai, Vol. “What’s that supposed to mean? When he brought up the cowardly actions of the groper, Kirishima’s expression darkened into one of grim anger. I’ll do my best today and tomorrow!” From the look on her face, the anxiety and nerves from earlier had completely dissipated. Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai, Vol. He remained silent in tacit affirmation, and barely caught the quiet chuckle that followed. “If you’d been there, you probably would’ve made a move before I could and beaten the shit out of him before the police even arrived.” Kirishima could definitely seem pretty easygoing at first glance, but the fact that he was a father, with a daughter of his own, imbued him with a strong sense of justice. Today’s autograph event was to be attended by Katou, the author’s managing editor, and Hitomi from the editing department, and Yokozawa and Henmi from the sales department, with the book store providing a few staff as attendants as well. Kirishima seemed to be caught up in a discussion with the person, but Yokozawa couldn’t quite catch the other’s voice from where he stood—and after being all but told to snap it up!, they finally appeared. He not only boasted a number of ‘fans’ among the female customers with his unparalleled looks and easy manner of interaction, there was no one else in the shop who could compete with him when it came to knowledge of shoujo manga. You sure she didn’t fall for you?”. Thank very much for this,we really appreciate it, Hahaha…im liking the story now!im looking forward to what will happen when that girl realy confesed to yokozawa and to what will also happen if hiyo-chan found out about their rellation.thanks for the hard work guys! Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai, Vol. Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai, Vol. “Ah, thank you. I feel like I can get through this event calmly now. “Oh, no! Now I’m worried one of these days she’s gonna come up to me and declare, ‘I’m gonna marry Yokozawa-oniichan!’”, Yokozawa snorted softly at the confessed worry. Kirishima was a hard man to ignore; anytime they found themselves in the same room, Yokozawa couldn’t help how conscious he was of the guy. How long are you going to keep bringing that up?”. Yokozawa has jet black hair and grey eyes. “…Yukina-kun’s so rude to me.” Peals of laughter erupted as Katou slumped in place, dejected. Book 2 of 3 in the 世界一初恋 ~横澤隆史の場合~ Series. Actually—they’d probably be able to work more comfortably and put out a good product without someone hovering over them.”, Yokozawa jolted at Kirishima’s idle commentary—he was making these suggestions in a laughing manner, but it certainly didn’t sound like he was kidding. I’m going to take my leave for now, but when he gets back, could you have someone come find me?” With that, Okada dashed out of the waiting room as well. “Nothing~” Kirishima stood, a mysterious little smile on his lips, then reached forward and ruffled Yokozawa’s hair. You were just feeling up this young woman, weren’t you?”, “Of—of course not! Yokozawa snapped at the comment that left him feeling like little more than a child being rewarded, raising his voice with, ”You…” He couldn’t help the way this arrogant side of Kirishima pissed him off. A more than familiar figure swept into the room on the heels of the employee who’d shown him the way. “By all means—another member of the editing team?”. He did?! And after he’d saved her on the train, she’d been adamant that she wanted to thank him, so perhaps she’d been trying to bring that to fruition then…, “Well, maybe it’s for the best you didn’t notice. Fighting down a choking cough, he settled the can safely on the table and raised his voice, red-faced, at Kirishima, who only laughed at the display. Maybe that had been Kirishima’s intention from the get-go, bringing her here. Yokozawa-san, you’ll have some too, won’t you?”. “We could say the same to you; we’re incredibly grateful that Takanashi-sensei even autographed a copy of her book for us to display in the storefront.”, “She was thrilled herself, getting to meet everyone—after all, she rarely gets to directly interact with not only the readers but also the bookstore employees. LATEST UPDATES. You really helped out today; thanks.” He recovered his posture to thank her, as she’d helped keep the line up and guide the fans. Since then, Sorata had taken to Hiyori remarkably well, and now he was a permanent fixture in the Kirishima home; when he greeted Yokozawa at the door these days, he looked like he had the total run of the place. But the sticky, slick sensation was raw and unbearable, and Yokozawa took off for the bathroom at a jog in an effort to dispel the unpleasantness. Would you mind noting it on the board?” It was well past quitting time, and he didn’t have any drinking sessions scheduled with his superiors or clients. I can probably make it in about a half an hour…?”, “Then—how about we meet at the convenience store in front of the station by my place? Takanashi stood quickly, sending her chair screeching back across the floor and bowing her head deeply. Fine, whatever—I’ll take what I can get.” Why couldn’t he just say thank you? Plus—Hiyo lived here; he could hardly be expected to get it up under such conditions. As they drew up to the door to the waiting room, Yokozawa pulled on his jacket and knocked sharply. Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai, Vol. She must not have noticed anyone else in the thrall of meeting her beloved Takanashi. “…Hey, what happened there?”, It wasn’t a serious wound, but it was hardly pleasant having Kirishima notice the proof of Yokozawa’s disgrace, and he tried to casually hide it—but Kirishima snapped out a hand and gripped him. That was the first time I’ve ever seen her so nervous, but I guess that just shows you how much she looks up to her.” He’d been shocked when Hiyori had shown up, but her innocence had helped calm the whole room. “Geez, haven’t I told you to just take your compliments like a man? Damn but it was adorable.”. Geez, you’re such a worrywart, Papa!”, Matsumoto watched the father-daughter argument, extending her hand. He’d spent quite a bit of time lately focusing on the past, but Kirishima’s words left him feeling just the tiniest bit hopeful. “C’mon, I just got out of the bath—it’s fine. Unable to stand the awkward atmosphere, Yokozawa slid his chair backward and made a futile attempt to hide behind Henmi. The reason Yokozawa was decked out in a tie despite it being his day off was because he had work today: an autograph event was being held in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka to celebrate the reprint of a title running in Monthly Japun. septemberscans on September 2, 2014 at 8:05 am says: Because you’re in Book 4. He didn’t want to press about Kirishima’s past, of course, but…seeing this shrine day after day now, he couldn’t help the nagging curiosity. Thank you so much for humoring my daughter.”, Takanashi shook her head as Kirishima bowed his thanks again. “I am… Have we met somewhere before?” There was no way he knew any women this young. I’ll get you the details early next week. Yokozawa himself had gone out to buy manga magazines, his allowance gripped tight in one hand, when he was young. “No, actually you had great timing!” With thanks given, everyone else took their seats again. “I’m honored you’re this worked up over the very idea.”. “Well—I’m at least satisfied there were no misprints. Reminding himself that displaying agitation only increased suspicion, he somehow managed to maintain a poker face. “I do! Maybe what Yokozawa was feeling wasn’t simple worry or apprehension…but guilt. Though I’ll admit, it’s part of your charm.”. I honestly didn’t mean to…!”, “Oh, no no! Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai, Vol. The hot days had been piling up since July had started, but today was particularly nasty. It was easy to forget, given that most of Japun‘s authors were male, but just as with the editors of Emerald, Kirishima’s popularity with female authors was rather famous. “Just entered 5th grade this year. Yukina was as sparkly as ever, glittering enough to match the sun blazing outside. It irritated Yokozawa to no end how Kirishima feigned congeniality here. And—you’re one of the people who make the damn thing; what’s the point of reading it now?” They checked all the nooks and crannies that readers would never even consider before sending it to print; Yokozawa could see no point in reading it at a magazine stand. “Right? “That hardly ever happens, I’m telling you. Kirishima, to his credit, at least seemed to understand his limits, and he never made any moves or said anything to truly piss off Yokozawa, which essentially left Yokozawa as the perfect toy, finding himself unable to really get angry with Kirishima. How are things on your end?”. Hiyori had just entered the 5th grade at school this past Spring, and given that she was the child of a single parent, she was generally remarkably well put-together; however, when she made a face like that, it was clear how much of a child she still was. He’d been out of his mind. Don’t tell them that!” Hiyori flushed brightly, ire rising at Kirishima blabbing her secrets in front of an author she respected, but the other adults in the room evidently thought it adorable. “Hey—tell me you’re not actually seriously considering taking a month’s vacation, right?”. Given the background noise, he was able to divine that most of his coworkers were still at the office. But Kirishima tossed out comments like that without a second thought, so straightforward it actually made the other party feel embarrassed instead. “Anyone could tell. “…!” A tongue laved along the outside of his ear before dipping inside briefly, and the slippery sounds just next to his eardrum sent shivers down his spine. Kirishima had once told him that it had been because he saw something of himself in Yokozawa—but even so, would you usually get this involved with someone just on those grounds? He never would’ve thought he’d see a face like hers here of all places, and as he stood there, shocked speechless, Kirishima began to introduce Hiyori to everyone. To be fair, their ‘beginning’ had been a few hours before that moment, seated next to one another in an izakaya, but Yokozawa had no clear memories of that evening. Maybe she found that embarrassing? The sky outside the car window was stained a pale violet. — There’s no such thing as a child who doesn’t go through some rebellious period. “Sticks and stones.” The amused tone to his voice was clearly because he knew Yokozawa couldn’t fight him, breath ghosting over Yokozawa’s neck with each and every word he spoke. Sure, he probably should’ve greeted the guy just like he would with any work-related call, but even that was still a little awkward for some reason. The treats she held out had probably been picked up by Kirishima. “You’re here early, Henmi.”, Henmi’s expression turned sour at the tone of admiration in his voice. Kirishima laughed, shoulders shaking, as Yokozawa cocked his head in confusion. “Well, she had quite an exciting day after all. And she’s as mouthy as me—so I actually lost my fair share of verbal fights.”. She’d just been through something traumatic—I couldn’t let her get on a packed train all by herself.” She’d seemed like a really quiet girl initially, but once she got started on a book she liked, it was hard to stop her. Yokozawa watched her leave with a soft smile before setting the last of the dishes into the dish rack. “Sorry for the wait.”, “Oh, no; I was the one who made you wait, after all. Unsure of how best to respond, his reactions were coming off dubious. Oh—what time are we leaving in the morning?” The next day they were planning to go to a movie together that Hiyori had been wanting to see, with lunch and shopping on the schedule afterwards. And he was all but certain that the reason he felt so guilty seeing his mother like that was because he knew fully well that he wouldn’t be able to paint for his parents the future he knew they wanted. Thank you for always taking care of my papa… Umm, I brought some treats for everyone, so please enjoy them!”. My subordinates are top-notch, after all. “Well, enough about you—when did Takanashi-sensei say she was arriving? He has his own side story entitled Takafumi Yokozawa No Baai about his new love interest, Kirishima Zen, as he handles his rejection by Takano. The sight of Kirishima so miffed was so amusing, Yokozawa couldn’t help his shoulders shaking. “I’m ten years old.” It was adorable the way she ducked her head bashfully when responding, but Yokozawa was beside himself with panic. He hardened his features to keep his agitation from showing, praying that his feigned sleep wouldn’t be found out. 3. At the sight of her chuckling with shoulders shaking, Yokozawa ground his teeth. While he’d said he was heading straight home—he wasn’t actually heading to his own apartment, and as he snapped his phone shut, he suddenly remembered being told to call when he was through with work.
