Part 2

“You mean you’re my descendant?!”

No way! The young man in front of me is... my descendant?

No, no, no, that’s impossible! I can’t have descendants.

It’s impossible for me to get married... it’s impossible for anyone to fall in love with me!

I’m starting to feel sad.

But I can’t believe that the young man in front of me is my descendant.

“Oh, I see! It’s not me; it’s the descendant of Yuta and Sora!”

That’s right, it must be!

Yuta and Sora are definitely from the Tenjou family, so it wouldn’t be strange for me to be treated as an ancestor!

“No, my ancestor’s name is Yuuya...”

“It was really me?!”

That’s impossible! Really?

I looked at the young man’s face again.

He had a straight nose and cool eyes.

He was an incredibly cool young man.

No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible. He doesn’t look like me at all!

Well, it’s been a thousand years, so it’s not strange that he doesn’t look like me, but it’s still strange!

“Now that you mention it, I can see a bit of you in him.”

“No way!”

Even from Kuro’s perspective, there seems to be something about the young man that resembles me. That’s impossible...!

The young man straightened his posture and bowed to me, who was holding my head in confusion.

“Well, I’m sorry for not introducing myself earlier. Yuuya-san... I’m your descendant, and my name is Kazuya.”

“Y-yes...”

“Please don’t be so formal! It feels strange for me, the one who should be respecting you, my ancestor. Please stop using such polite language!”

“If you’re going to say that, you should also speak in a more casual tone...”

“That is impossible! How can I talk casually to my ancestor?”

“I can’t even believe I have descendants!”

After a few rounds of pushing and shoving, I was the only one who broke down.

Anyway, I’m completely unable to keep up with the current situation, but judging by the appearance of the young man, Kazuya, it seems that what he said so far was no joke.

In other words, Kazuya really is my descendant...

If that’s the case, I’m very curious to know who my partner was.

At that moment, the pictures of Kaori and Lexia-san came to mind.

No, no, no! That’s impossible! There’s no way I could have been a match for them!

Anyway... what were they like?

“Well, I understand that you’re my descendant, but is there any record of who my wife was?”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t really know either. I only know that Yuuya-san is my ancestor, but Yuuya-san had more than one wife.”

“More than one wife?!”

I have been hit with a shocking new fact!

Wait, I’m not married to just one person?

“Could it be that I’ve been married and divorced over and over again?!”

If that’s the case, what kind of a terrible husband was I when I was married?

If I’ve been divorced so many times, then it means I’ve never been able to fix the things I did wrong...!

Then Kazuya shook his head in panic.

“Oh no, that’s not it! It seems that you weren’t divorced but were married to several partners at the same time!”

“Isn’t that strange?”

After all, this is Japan! What does it mean that polygamy is allowed?

Anyway, I’m like a bad guy!

Tsukasa looked a little worried, but after hearing Kitaraku’s story, he understood.

“But I understand. He’s making a movie... that’s why they contacted me, huh?”

“Is something wrong?”

“Yes. I suddenly got a call from a famous movie director. He said that he wanted to use Yuuya-kun as an actor. At first, I had no idea what he was talking about, but now that I’ve heard what you said, I finally understand.”

“Is that so...?”



While Kaori was surprised by the unexpected situation, Tsukasa continued.

“Also, I don’t know where you heard it from, but it seems that the world-famous actress Sophia will be coming to our school as a special lecturer for the new entertainment department we are planning to set up.”

“Is that true?!”

Kitaraku also seemed to be hearing about this for the first time, and his eyes widened.

“Yes, but that’s under the condition that Yuuya-kun will appear as an actor. For now, I’ll wait to make a decision until I hear from Yuuya-kun himself.”

“I see... It’s possible that the president of Star Production is making the arrangements behind the scenes.”

“Is that so?”

“Well, I don’t have any proof, but... Anyway, this is an opportunity! Not only will we be able to invite a world-class actress, but if we can make connections with movie directors, we can make this department stand out from other entertainment-related schools! For that reason, we’ll have to be more careful with the admission interviews and so on.”

Kitaraku breathed heavily, and Tsukasa smiled wryly.

“Well, whatever happens, we have to talk to Yuuya-kun first. Anyway, Kaori, congratulations on your study abroad. I know it must have been a hard time for you... How was your experience abroad?”

“Well... like you said, it was a tough time, but I was also able to gain some valuable experience from it!”

When Kaori said that, Kitaraku looked envious.

“That sounds great. I’m sure it was hard dealing with the terrorists, but it still sounds like you had a lot of fun. Maybe I’ll try a short-term study abroad program when I go to university...”

“So, um... why are you here, Kitaraku-senpai?”

They had been talking so naturally that Kaori didn’t know why Kitaraku was there.

Then, as if he had just remembered, Kitaraku clapped his hands.

“Oh, that’s right. I came here to talk to you about something that concerns you as well.”

“Eh?”

To Kaori’s surprise, Tsukasa opened his mouth.

“That’s right. Kitaraku-kun just told me about the trip.”

“A trip?”

Kaori tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about, but Kitaraku continued.

“That’s right, it’s a trip. Thanks to your hard work, the School Idol project is going really well.”

“Well, except for Kaede-san and the others, I haven’t really done anything...”

“No, no! It’s thanks to you and Yuuya-kun’s support! So, as a reward, I wanted to take you, Yuuya-kun, and the School Idol members on a trip.”

“W-well, but this is a school project, and it’s not like we’re the only ones going on the trip...”

“Don’t worry about that. Our Kitaraku group will provide the destination for this trip. We won’t be spending any of the school’s money.”

Kaori was a wealthy girl without saying so, but the Kitaraku family, the family of the student council president, was also extremely wealthy.

That’s why Kitaraku’s proposal wasn’t particularly strange...

“Um... is that okay with you, Kitaraku-senpai? It doesn’t seem to be of any use to you...”

“That’s not true! This is a gesture of gratitude, to begin with.”

“Gratitude?”

While Kaori was surprised by the unexpected words, Kitaraku nodded.

“Yes. More than anything, I love to have fun! And thanks to you guys, my school life is really fun right now! So I’m grateful to you.”

The reason Kitaraku became student council president and enrolled in Ousei Academy was because it all seemed like fun.

And now that Yuuya had transferred to the school and the School Idol project was progressing smoothly, Kitaraku’s school life has become very fulfilling.

“Anyway, this is a gift from me to you. Please accept it unconditionally!”

“That’s how it is. Actually, the girls who participated in the School Idol Project worked very hard, so I wanted to give them something as a reward. However, the school can’t give them anything, so I was grateful for Kitaraku-kun’s suggestion this time. Please accept it unreservedly.”

“I-I understand. Thank you!”

Kaori, who was even pushed by Tsukasa, decided to accept the travel gift from Kitaraku.

──In this way, another story moved forward without Yuuya knowing.
