Chapter 10 Heading to Tokyo
........
"Manager Suzuki, thank you for taking care of me this past year. Thank you."
"Goodbye, Ms. Yamada."
In the convenience store, Makoto Hoshino bids farewell to Tako Suzuki and Hanako Yamada.
He looked at the two women in front of him and bowed slightly in gratitude.
The automatic door opens.
Yamada Hanako watched Hoshino Makoto's retreating figure as he was led away by Shimizu Setsukatsu.
"Hoshino-kun, will we ever meet again?"
"Hoshino-kun, you must be happy."
The automatic doors had already closed, and Yamada Hanako's shouts echoed inside the convenience store.
Store manager Suzuki Tako stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.
As a woman herself, she knew the attraction that a handsome young man like Hoshino Makoto had for the opposite sex, especially for a young woman like Yamada Hanako who was full of energy.
"Hanako, just focus on your work. He and you are from completely different worlds."
........
Evening, in the countryside square.
The evening breeze in the small town is very pleasant, and many people choose to take a walk in the streets after dinner.
However, today, the square is a place where the elderly and young people dance and stroll.
A luxury car parked quietly attracted most people's attention.
"My God, look at that car. I've seen it online. Even the most basic model costs over 100 million yen."
"This must be a luxury car. The body and the design are so beautiful. It's a pity we can't see inside."
"When did such a person come to our small town? Is he here for tourism?"
More than ten meters away, many people stood there pointing and commenting on the luxury car that stood out from the other vehicles in the square, their faces full of amazement and astonishment.
Inside the luxury car, a woman with an ordinary but resolute face sat in the driver's seat.
Matsumoto Yoshiko saw the astonished onlookers, but she didn't drive away; she was waiting for news from her boss, Shimizu Setsukatsu.
The next moment, ding-dong.
Matsumoto Yoshiko quickly grabbed her phone and opened it to see that it was a message from her boss, Shimizu Setsukatsu.
"We're almost there."
As a qualified driver and bodyguard, she immediately opened the car door and got out.
Ignoring the stares of those around her, she immediately spotted the figure of the boss, Shimizu Satsuki, not far away, as well as the person the boss was about to pick up.
Matsumoto Yoshiko immediately jogged in that direction.
Under the curious gazes of those around them, two figures, one tall and one short, came into view as Matsumoto Yoshiko jogged along.
"Good morning, boss. Good morning, young master."
Matsumoto Yoshiko jogged over to Shimizu Setsukatsu, who was carrying luggage, and quickly took the luggage from her.
At the same time, she bowed and greeted Shimizu Setsukatsu and Hoshino Makoto, who was being led by her hand.
The onlookers became even more curious and excited at the sight.
"That woman is the owner of this luxury car? She looks so young, she must be a very successful person."
"Did you see the watch she's wearing on her wrist? My cousin works at a luxury watch store in the city. I went to their store last time, and that watch she's wearing is worth at least ten million yen!"
"Didn't any of you see the important point? Look at the boy she's holding hands with."
Someone gasped in surprise, noticing Hoshino Makoto being led by Shimizu Setsukatsu.
"Isn't that the handsome young clerk at the department store/convenience store?"
"You think so too, right? I thought I was seeing things."
"I remember he was an orphan, how could he be associated with such a successful person?"
No one could give her an answer.
The town wasn't very big, but because of Hoshino Makoto's outstanding appearance and his job greeting customers at the department store, most people in the surrounding area knew him.
I also have a general idea of Hoshino Makoto's family situation.
Seeing Hoshino Makoto being intimately held by the hand of a woman who was clearly the owner of a luxury car, everyone was shocked and puzzled.
But most people are still irresistibly drawn to Hoshino Makoto's cute and handsome appearance.
[Himeko Yamamoto thinks you are extremely handsome, more so than all the men here. My liking for you increases by 1.]
[Sato Riko thinks it must be very comfortable to hug you when you're so small, so her affection level increases by 2.]
[Takahashi Tarei exclaimed, "Your face and arms exposed to the air are so white! My affection level increases by 3!"]
......
[Suzuki Miri exclaimed in surprise that such a handsome young man could exist in a small town, her affection level increased by 4.]
Looking at the system prompts that kept popping up in front of him.
Hoshino was genuinely overjoyed.
[Matsumoto Yoshiko looks into your bright, moist eyes, like two flawless black pearls, appreciation level +3]
Matsumoto Yoshiko thinks you are the cutest and most handsome man she has ever seen, so her liking level increases by 2.
[Matsumoto Yoshiko smelled your natural scent. Not knowing it was your scent, she found it very pleasant and liked it +2 points.]
Three more system notifications popped up.
This caught Hoshino Makoto's attention, and he discovered that they all came from the same person.
He looked at the three system notifications, especially the first one.
Now that it's dark, you probably don't need to be too far away to get a clear view of his eyes.
Hoshino Shin looked up slightly at the woman who was bowing and greeting him.
Could it be her?
He heard this woman calling him "Young Master".
As Hoshino Makoto instinctively tried to explain, he felt someone touching his head.
Shimizu Setsukatsu gently patted Hoshino Makoto's head, her eyes filled with a smile, clearly not wanting Hoshino Makoto to explain.
She pointed to Matsumoto Yoshiko, who had taken her luggage, and introduced her to Hoshino Makoto: "Makoto, let me introduce you. This is Matsumoto Yoshiko, my driver and bodyguard."
She is Matsumoto Yoshiko!
It really is this woman.
Hoshino Makoto politely greeted Matsumoto Yoshiko, who was already standing up straight, saying, "Hello, Yoshiko-neechan."
[When Matsumoto Yoshiko sees you smile at her, she feels like her heart has been struck by Cupid. Excitement level +2, affection level +3]
Hoshino Makoto: Another five emotion points have been credited to my account.
Matsumoto Yoshiko turned her head away unintentionally; the boy's smile was truly captivating.
She dared not look directly at Hoshino Makoto, the boy whose boss had driven her all the way from Tokyo, a hundred kilometers away.
But I still have the guts to sneak a peek a few times.
Matsumoto Yoshiko, pulling her suitcase, secretly glanced at Hoshino Makoto, who was being led by Shimizu Setsukatsu.
As a bodyguard, she observes people very carefully.
She hadn't really looked closely at Hoshino Makoto's appearance.
Looking at it now...
Is he the person the boss wants to take over?
Looking at Hoshino Makoto's youthful yet outstandingly handsome appearance.
Matsumoto Yoshiko noticed that this young boy was very handsome even when he wasn't smiling.
His cute and handsome appearance was framed by wispy hair, his exposed pale skin exuded a youthful and innocent charm.
Especially those eyes, so moist like grapes, making you want to cherish them while also wanting to ruthlessly squash them.
Matsumoto Yoshiko finally understood why the boss was in such a hurry to pick up the boy.
Which woman wouldn't be anxious in this situation?
After taking a few careful glances, Matsumoto Yoshiko dared not look any further.
She was afraid that Shimizu Setsukyo would hear the sound of her heart pounding.
Under the curious and shocked gazes of those around them.
Hoshino Makoto was led by Shimizu Setsukatsu into the luxury car that they saw as worth hundreds of millions of yen.
The vehicle started and left the square.
