Tokyo Tutor: Starting with My Ex-Girlfriend's Sister

While cleaning the main house, Chiba Masatsuki suddenly sensed something was wrong; it seemed that Yamazaki Kazukazu wasn't resting in his room.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Chiba Masatsuki knocked on Yamazaki Kazufu's door, but there was no response.

"Did he go to the young lady's place? Then I must have run into him when I came back just now."

Feeling somewhat out of place, Chiba Masatsuki suddenly recalled Himeno Natsuki's previous unnatural behavior.

Could he be hiding under the table?!

Chiba Masatsuki felt that her guess was too bizarre, but Himeno Natsuki's previous appearance was really too strange.

Feeling uneasy, she walked towards the back garden and encountered Himeno Natsuki and Yamazaki Kaze.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Chiba. Mr. Yamazaki, I have to tell you, Aunt Chiba's massage skills are excellent. If you're tired, you can try her out."

Himeno Natsuki praised Chiba Masatsuki's massage technique with a very natural expression.

"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Natsuki. Mr. Yamazaki, please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything; I'm always ready to help."

[Miss Natsuki seems to really enjoy massages; she looked quite pleased when I massaged her just now. But was it really necessary to make those kinds of sounds that could be easily misunderstood? It was just a shoulder massage!]

Ding-dong! The doorbell rang at the Himeno house.

Chiba Masatsuki forgot her earlier worries and ran to the door to open it, while Yamazaki Kazukazu went upstairs to prepare for class.

Himeno Natsuki, who was originally going to take a shower in her room, looked out the wall through the floor-to-ceiling window.

What are these guys in suits doing at my house?

Driven by intense curiosity, Himeno Natsuki went outside to check on the situation.

What brings you here?

Chiba Masatsuki asked the visitor.

"We are from the public relations department of the Himeno Group, here to submit some important information to Mrs. Himeno."

"What important intelligence?"

"About Natsuki-san."

Upon hearing this, Chiba Masatsuki immediately realized that this was a private detective responsible for protecting the Himeno family.

They were nominally affiliated with the Himeno family's public relations department, but were only responsible for members of the Himeno family.

"Hello, could you please provide your information?"

"We must personally deliver this document to my wife."

"My wife is not here right now."

"Then we'll come again next time."

The staff members wanted to leave, but were stopped by Himeno Natsuki in the next second.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing at my house?"

Himeno Natsuki called out to these somewhat strange people.

"They've come to deliver important documents to your wife, documents that are related to you, Miss."

Chiba Masatsuki reported the facts truthfully.

"About me? Did you give the information to Aunt Chiba?"

"No, we'll give it directly to your wife."

"My mom's not here, just give it to me."

Upon hearing that it was information about herself, Himeno Natsuki was determined to take a look.

"No, this is information for my wife to see."

"I'll take a look too. I'll give it to my mother afterwards."

Himeno Natsuki snatched the information about her directly from these people.

"Then we'll take our leave."

Seeing how assertive Himeno Natsuki was, the workers didn't dare offend the young master and could only leave reluctantly.

"Miss Natsuki, will you give the information to your wife?"

"Chiba Masatsuki asked."

"Of course. Aunt Chiba, please prepare my clothes. I'm going to take a shower."

"Yes."

Himeno Natsuki returned to her room and hid the document, planning to open it after taking a shower.

That guy, he's made me have to hand-wash my underwear now, otherwise if Aunt Chiba finds out...

Yamazaki Kazukazu has already gone to Saki Ryo's room for class, while Himeno Natsuki is still carefully cleaning up the mess.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Himeno Natsuki sat in a beanbag chair in the room and opened the sealed document bag.

After a few quick glances, Himeno Natsuki's hands trembled.

"These guys actually dug up things from my high school days?"

The last time Bunshun posted something, it caused quite a stir online.

Although Himeno Group's public relations department handled the situation promptly and quickly quelled the crisis.

However, a group of meddlesome people, while dealing with public opinion, sought verification from Himeno Natsuki's high school classmates.

Back then, she didn't hide her relationship with Yamazaki Kazuka at all; many people at school knew about it.

These guys followed the clues and uncovered a lot of information.

They not only unearthed basic information about Yamazaki Kazufu, but also thoroughly investigated the reasons why he joined their oil painting club.

"They even dug up information about the Yamazaki family's hot spring inn's operations. What on earth are they doing?!"

Himeno Natsuki was on the verge of collapse; her immediate priority was to silence those people.

They encountered themselves this time; having failed to submit their documents, it's hard to guarantee they won't have to come back next time.

"What should we do? Who should we contact?"

Himeno Natsuki felt a bit of a headache, so she flipped through the document and saw that the investigation report contained information about the investigators.

"I've got an idea!"

Himeno Natsuki first went downstairs to meet Chiba Masazuki.

"Miss Natsuki, is there something you need?"

"Please contact a cake shop and order a batch of cakes to send to the public relations department of the Himeno Group as a way of thanking them for helping me quell the public opinion crisis this time."

"no problem."

"I need to call the cake shop staff myself; there are a few people I need to pay extra attention to. They put in a lot of effort in this operation, so their cakes have to be special."

"I designed the pattern myself, and I'll send it to the pastry chef later so they can make the cake according to my design."

"Yes."

Himeno Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief. She had already warned them to this extent, so the people from the public relations department probably wouldn't come to her house to deliver documents anymore.

However, the truth eventually came out. He had to get his mother to accept Yamazaki Kazukazu as a son-in-law as soon as possible.

Based on Hino Natsuki's understanding of her mother, if she knew now that the two had a relationship in high school, she would definitely drive Yamazaki Kazuka away.

First, Yamazaki Kazukazu wasn't honest with her. Himeno Seiyuki dislikes being lied to. Second, the Himeno family places great importance on arranged marriages.

Since my grandfather's generation, every member of the Hime family has carefully considered the potential value of their marriage.

My grandfather once said that people who still cherish love are children, and since they are children, they are not suitable for marriage. Marriage is the most important transaction in a person's life.

Therefore, the women of the Himeno family, in particular, had almost no right to choose their husbands.

In the past, when I talked to my mother on the phone, I often heard her complain about Saki's grades.

The reason she complained about Saki's grades was that if Saki had a bad record during her school years, or even been expelled, she might not be able to find a good husband in the future.

After contacting the pastry chef at the cake shop, Himeno Natsuki reviewed the investigation report sent by the public relations department once more.

The extensive research on the Yamazaki family's background within the book is essentially a way for the mother to assess the Yamazaki family's worth.

"No, a rural hot spring inn in Hokkaido. In the eyes of the Himeno family, a family like that is no different from a beggar."

Feeling somewhat helpless, Himeno Natsuki decided to consult with Yamazaki Kazuka about countermeasures.
