Chapter 243 243



Tenku sighed when he saw Chizen's attitude because he knew why the man was showing hostility towards him.

(This is why a beautiful woman will only bring trouble, especially if she is an idol. But I didn't expect that one of the men chasing Kirika was the son of the Kinzoku family. If he thought I was his love rival, then this matter would become troublesome)

Tenku glanced at Kirika secretly and found that the girl was confused about answering Chizen's question.

"You don't need to care about me. I'm here only as a carrier and a man accompanying them." Tenku decided to answer Chizen's question at Kirika's place.

"Huh? Who are you? This isn't your place to talk since I was asking Kirika." Chizen looked at Tenku and said indifferently like he was nothing for him.

Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede were angry when they saw his attitude toward Tenku. The three girls wanted to open their mouths, but he quickly signaled to stop them. Setsuka and the others reluctantly obeyed Tenku's orders and stared coldly at Chizen.

"You don't need to know about it because this is my business! I'm free to decide who I want to go with. This is not your place to talk because this is my life." Kirika returned the words from Chizun to Tenku. She also felt angry because of his attitude but couldn't show it directly, especially in a public place like an airport. Kirika was worried that someone would recognize her or that she would run into reporters.

On the other hand, Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede gave Kirika a thumbs up. For the first time, they supported his actions.

"You said that to me to defend that guy!?" Chizen growled and clenched his fists tightly. Then he turned his eyes to Tenku.

"You should leave Kirika now if you know what's good and bad for you! You will regret it if you stay near her and don't listen to my words!" Chizen said in a deep voice. He unleashed his coercion on Tenku and threatened him with fierce eyes.

Chizen shows off his aura as a veteran in the League of Heroes and a member of one of the strongest Realizer groups in Japan. He is a genius from the Kinzoku family and possessed great combat ability at a young age. So naturally, he would be proud and arrogant towards Tenku, a boy he didn't know.

"Stop it! You dare threaten my friend in front of me!? I've been holding back because I respect you as the son of the head of the Kinzoku family. But your words just now are too much! We are just acquaintances in the organization and nothing more!

So you don't deserve to say that. Don't you feel ashamed if people at the airport hear your words? You will tarnish the name of the Kinzoku family with your actions because you misuse your power!" Setsuka raised her voice to Chizen and then looked at Wang Ruyue and the others.

"Let's leave this place now and ignore him." Setsuka said in a softer tone. Tenku, Setsuka, and the other two girls nodded in response. Afterward, they quickly left the place.

"Wait, Kirika!" Chizen intends to stop them but his smartphone rings. He saw the name of the caller, and his face turned solemn. Chizen clicked his tongue and answered the call.

"Alright, I'll go there now." Chizen said to the other person on the phone and looked at Kirika and Tenku leaving.

"I will take care of that boy after completing this mission." Chizen said coldly and headed in a certain direction from the airport.

After exiting the airport, Tenku and the others took a taxi to Kirika's house. They didn't take long to reach their destination as the location was not far.

"Is this your house?" Tenku looked at Kirika and asked. He was surprised because Kirika's residence was a large traditional Japanese house.

Tenku had seen such a large traditional Japanese house when he came to Fuyushima Temple to take Setsuka home, and it was similar to what he saw now. But he didn't expect Kirika to live in such a prominent place. It shows that the girl is a big miss, and her parents have abundant wealth for their daughter.

Tenku was confused about why Kirika worked as an idol when she was so rich. But he didn't overthink it because he knew everyone had their circumstances.

"Yes, welcome to the Miyazaki residence." Setsuka nodded and then greeted Tenku with a big smile on her face. As usual, she only focused on him and ignored Wang Ruyue and the others. They were annoyed when they saw her attitude but kept quiet because they were used to it.

Kirika led Tenku and the others into the residence. After passing through the gate, they noticed the place was much more expansive than it looked outside. Tenku and the others encountered several maids who greeted and welcomed them along the way. This further shows Kirika as a wealthy young lady apart from an idol and a Realizer.

"This is the room for Tenku while the three of you are in the corner over there." Kirika pointed in a specific direction from that place. She smiled sweetly at Tenku but then gave a sour face to Setsuka and the other two girls.

"Well then, I'll go inside my room now since I want to sleep early. You guys should also rest in your rooms since we will visit some tourist spots in Kyoto tomorrow." Tenku reminded the three girls.

"Yeah, we'll go to our room after you come in. Good night."

"Good night, Tenku."

"Have a good night's sleep."

"Have a good rest."

Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, Kaede, and Kirika replied to Tenku simultaneously.

"Yes, good night." Tenku smiled and walked into his room.

After Tenku left that place, Setsuka and the other two girls turned their eyes to Kirika.

"What do you mean to give us a room far from Tenku?" Setsuka asked coldly.

"Yeah, did you do it intentionally to keep us away from him?" Wang Ruyue looked at Kirika suspiciously.

"Are you planning something?" Kaede glared at Kirika.

They refrained from arguing with Kirika before Tenku, fearing it would make him angry. But now, the three girls could express their emotions and suspicions to Kirika after Tenku entered his room.

"Why do you always think badly of me? I don't have any plans, and I have no intention of keeping you away from Tenku. I put you there because this residence has different guest rooms for men and women. I hope the three of you can understand." Kirika sighed helplessly and showed a sad face after hearing their prejudice against her.

"Is that true? You're not lying to us, are you?" Setsuka narrowed her eyes at Kirika, and the other two girls looked at her. They tried to determine whether Kirika was telling the truth or lying to them. But no matter how hard they tried, Wang Ruyue and the others couldn't notice any change in Kirika's expression.

Kirika is an idol, so she must be good at acting and expressing her face. It was hard for Setsuka and the others to determine the truth or the lies in her mouth.

"Of course, that's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask the maids in this residence. I promise that I will not control their answers." Kirika said with a serious face.

Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede watched Kirika's face for a long time. Afterward, they looked at the female servant next to her. The maid nodded under their gazes. Wang Ruyue and the others sighed and reluctantly believed in Kirika.

"Alright. If you have nothing more to say, I assume you have believed me. Then..." Kirika said to the three girls and then turned her eyes to the maid.

"Please take them to their respective rooms to rest because they must be tired after enjoying the Sapporo Snow Festival since morning." Kirika wanted them to go to their room immediately. She intended to start her plan tonight because she might not be able to be alone with Tenku tomorrow. Kirika heard that they were going to visit some tourist destinations in Kyoto.

"I understand, milady." The maid bowed elegantly to Kirika and then looked at Kaede's group.

"This way, please." The maid smiled and said politely. The three girls nodded and followed her.

After seeing them disappear from her sight, Kirika smiled meaningfully. She looked towards Tenku's room and walked closer to the place.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Have you slept?" Kirika knocked on the door and asked. But after waiting for quite a while, he didn't get any answer from inside the room.

"Are you asleep? You're not pretending to avoid me, are you?" Kirika repeated her question to ensure that Tenku was sleeping in his room. Still, she received no reply from him.

"I know that you are still awake and not sleeping! If you don't reply to my words, I will be standing in front of your room all night. Do you have the heart to see a woman do something like that!?" Kirika raised her voice and threatened Tenku. Afterward, she heard a sigh inside the room, and the door opened.

"What do you want? It's very late now. You should go back to your room and sleep." Tenku looked at Kirika and said in annoyance. He had tried to pretend to be asleep and ignore Kirika, but he didn't expect her to notice. She even dared to threaten him and would stand in front of his room to force him to respond to her words. So Tenku had to go out to meet Kirika.

"I'm sorry if I disturbed your rest time. But could you accompany me for a while to chat? Just a few minutes and nothing more." Kirika lowered her head and said apologetically. She had no choice but to threaten Tenku so the other party would respond to her. But then Kirika got scared after hearing his voice and worried he might get angry.

Tenku wanted to refuse her because he didn't want to get too close to Kirika. But after seeing her attitude, he couldn't bear to do it. If Tenku didn't know Kirika, he would have rejected her request without hesitation. After all, the two were acquaintances and could be called friends. Besides, Kirika had allowed them to stay at her house. So Tenku should at least treat that girl well.

"Okay. I'll accompany you to chat but only briefly because I want to sleep early." Tenku replied, and his voice became softer.

"Thank You! Then, let's chat in the courtyard. Luckily, it's not snowing in Kyoto tonight, so we can drink tea there to warm up our bodies." Kirika said excitedly, and her face lit up.

"I'm fine with that as long as it doesn't take too much time. Then, you can lead the way now." Tenku replied casually.

"I understand." Kirika was happy because she could spend time alone with Tenku tonight. This way, she could carry out her next plan.
