A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

After completing the draft of the tassel skirt in his hand, Chihaya Tetsuya let out a long sigh.

When he was working at KaZoKu before, as an assistant designer, he basically only had to worry about design matters. He only had a basic understanding of things like marketing, profits, and even public relations.

When he actually started running his own brand, he finally understood why many well-known designers voluntarily joined other brands instead of starting their own.

If it weren't for the trustworthy partners around him, he would probably have succumbed to the overwhelming workload and lost the energy to focus on design.

"Zheya, I'm back from my mother's place."

At this moment, Nagasaki Suyo's voice came from outside the door.

"Are you awake now?"

"Yeah, I'm awake."

After hearing this, Chihaya Tetsu directly responded:

"Just come in."

"Sorry to bother you then."

Nagasaki Suyo pushed open the door, then sat directly on Chihaya Tetsuya's bed and opened the file bag in her hand.

"As for the location of the exhibition, my mother recommended Shibuya. On the one hand, our brand's current audience and followers are all young people, so it is more suitable for the overall environment of Shibuya's business district. On the other hand, she predicted that Shibuya's advertising space would be dominated by [SummerZodiac] in the next few months, so holding the exhibition in Shibuya would greatly enhance its publicity advantages."

Having said that, Nagasaki Motoyo pulled out a stack of documents and leaned forward to hand them to Chihaya Tetsuya.

"Of course, another important reason is that my mother has connections here, so they're willing to give us a break when it comes to rent and venue support... Take a look at these prices and specific layouts for different exhibition halls. I've taken a look before, and I personally recommend the one at the top."

"..."

Chihaya Tetsuya nodded, then took it in front of him and read it carefully.

When he compared the exhibition hall recommended by Nagasaki Suyo with several other options, he immediately understood why Nagasaki Suyo recommended it.

"You probably want to use this small stage in the center, right?"

"That's it."

Nagasaki Suyo nodded.

"After all, we have the Summer Zodiac, our ultimate trump card for the coming year. It would be a shame if we didn't capitalize on it. We wouldn't even need them to perform. Just them wearing the two exclusive costumes you made and standing there would be the most convincing advertisement."

At this point, she couldn't help but recall her mother's serious comments when she was negotiating with her at the company.

The commercial potential of that concert and those two costumes far exceeded my imagination. Regarding the "StarrySky" collaboration, I'm officially upgrading it to a full-fledged contract with our company. Sushi, you'll have to keep a close eye on Tetsuya-chan from now on. Even among my clients, there's no other man as talented as him! This may sound strange coming from me, but Sushi, as a powerful woman of the new era, you need to act decisively when the time comes!

(Even if you say so...how can I take action?)

Nagasaki Suyo, who had been running around all day, leaned against the head of Chihaya Tetsuya's bed with a little fatigue.

(You can’t let me seduce Tetsuya recklessly like Hoshino Ai, right?)

Although she also liked Chihaya Tetsuya, she sought a more stable relationship that made her feel at ease rather than a temporary thrill. Just like today, even though her precious day off was taken up by work, she had no complaints at all and even felt fulfilled from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps she couldn't do what Xiangzi did, relying on her irreplaceable talent and vision to provide Zheya with enough help to lay the foundation for his future, but at least she could help Zheya share some of the work within his ability and let him spend more time on design.

And just seeing Chihaya Tetsu signing the document without hesitation was enough for Nagasaki Suyo to feel his trust and reliance on her. As for other things, such as physical desires and pursuits...

(Well, I did want to! But Aine's been clinging to him all the time lately, and Mu has been reading in the living room all the time lately, so there's really no time for me to do anything...)

Nagasaki Suyo muttered in her heart.

But at this moment, she suddenly realized that after she came back, she seemed to have not seen Aiyin and Mu at all, and there was no sound of piano practice coming from the room opposite.

"By the way, are Aine and Mutsuki still home now?"

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but ask.

Chihaya Tetsu also answered truthfully:

"They said they had something to do, and then they went out together."

"!"

Eh? So... that means... now it's just him and me at home!?

"When did they leave?"

"Just now, about ten minutes ago."

"Did you say when you'll be back?"

"That's not what I said, but Aine told me in advance that I don't need to wait for them for dinner."

As Chihaya Tetsuya spoke, he handed the signed document back to Nagasaki Suyo.

"Looks like it'll just be the two of us having dinner together today."

"That's it..."

After receiving Chihaya Tetsuya's answer, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but widen her eyes subconsciously.

In other words, from now until dinner time, it would just be Tetsuya and I at home?!

[As a strong woman in the new era, you must act decisively when the time comes! ]

And the time for her to "take action" may be now!

Looking at the profile of the person who lowered his head again, the desire that had been hidden in Nagasaki Suye's heart for a long time finally began to burn quietly at this moment.

Chapter 57: Nagasaki Suyo's progressive tactics.

"Here you go, freshly brewed coffee."

"Thank you, Sushi."

When Nagasaki Suyo was at home, she would prepare coffee for herself even if Chihaya Tetsu never asked.

"You've worked so hard this morning, and you still have to take care of me when you come back."

"This little thing doesn't count as care."

Nagasaki Suyo shook her head.

"And today I changed to a different kind of bean. Try it and see if you can accept the taste."

"Yeah, let me try."

Following Nagasaki Suyo's recommendation, Chihaya Tetsuya picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

“…Yeah, it tastes good too.”

Although it is hard to say what is so special about this coffee, Chihaya Tetsuya still praises Nagasaki Suyo's craftsmanship.

"The aroma is completely different from the usual beans. The aftertaste is a bit more sour, but overall it's still very good."

"That's it."

After hearing Chihaya Tetsuya's sentiments, Nagasaki Suyo nodded and introduced with a smile.

"This bean was brought from overseas by one of my mother's clients. It seems to have a very significant 'energy-boosting' effect."

"Oh, that……"

Chihaya Tetsu, who had no sensitivity to this concept at all, simply nodded and expressed an extremely innocent surprise.

"Does this mean its 'energizing effect' will be stronger than that of ordinary beans?"

"...You can also say that."

As if to cover up her subtle hesitation and embarrassment, Nagasaki Suyo changed the subject:

"Then I'll go change into my house clothes first. I'll pick up the coffee cups later."

"Oh, I know."

Chihaya Tetsuya smiled and nodded.

"I will enjoy this coffee with gratitude."

"..."

Because Chihaya Tetsuya's eyes and expression were so pure and frank, Nagasaki Suyo, who had evil thoughts in her heart, couldn't help but look away.

However, according to his mother, the beans only provide a slight boost, not enough to put a strain on the body. Furthermore, his work pressure has been quite high lately, so...this little thought should be within acceptable limits.

(The next step is even more embarrassing than just coffee...)

Thinking of the nightgown she'd bought online in her mad rage, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly felt a surge of passion welling up in her heart. However, considering how rare it was for Aine and Mutsu to go out together, even if it was a little embarrassing, she had to seize the opportunity of this weekend's solo date at home!

(At least he needs to be aware of me.)

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Suyo made up her mind completely, opened the door, and prepared to go upstairs to take down the "decisive nightgown"...

……

After Chihaya Tetsuya finished drinking the coffee prepared by Nagasaki Motoyo, he didn't know whether it was due to psychological reasons or because this coffee was really as magical as Nagasaki Motoyo said, but Chihaya Tetsuya always felt that he seemed to be much more energetic than usual. Moreover, although he had been sitting in the chair without moving, his body temperature had increased significantly.

"You must be kidding! I'm even sweating a little..."

Chihaya Tetsuya said as he unbuttoned his pajamas with a look of surprise.

"Sushi's coffee beans are really amazing."

If you encounter critical work in the future, this bean may come in handy!

"I'll ask Su Shi to get more later..."

"Are you talking about this coffee bean?"

"That's right. I plan to use it as a 'secret weapon' for critical situations in the future, so I'd like you to buy me some more of these beans and store them... "

As Chihaya Tetsuya looked at Nagasaki Suyo at the door, his voice suddenly faded away.

On the other side, Nagasaki Motoyo came to Chihaya Tetsuya as if nothing had happened and picked up the empty coffee cup.

"I see. I'll prepare some more later."

After saying that, she turned around and tried to take the coffee cup to the kitchen as if nothing had happened.

However, Chihaya Tetsuya quickly said:

"Wait, wait, Su Shi..."

"what happened?"

"Isn't this dress of yours a little too... too that?"

"Hmm? Are you talking about this nightgown?"

Nagasaki Suyo first glanced down, then said calmly:

"After all, the weather has been very hot recently, so I bought a nightgown suitable for wearing at home in the summer."

"This, this is more than just staying at home..."

In terms of style, Nagasaki Suyo was wearing a pretty standard suspender nightgown. While the length, which only covered half her thighs and completely exposed her shoulders, was a bit daring, it was still within reasonable limits for a nightgown.

However, if the material of this nightgown is close-fitting and soft georgette, everything will be a different story!

Because Nagasaki Suyo's figure is very outstanding, coupled with this extremely tight nightgown, Chihaya Tetsu can be said to have seen her figure curves in just a moment, not to mention the skin faintly visible under the thin fabric -

Chihaya Tetsuya felt that his body, which had just been awakened by the coffee, was further stimulated in just a moment. He bent down almost subconsciously and put his legs together in a calm manner.

Ever since being attacked by Hoshino Ai and Chihaya Aine on the day the live ended, Chihaya Tetsuya felt that his body was becoming more sensitive and honest.

Obviously, this had never happened to him before when he lived with Aine, but now, just by smelling the scent of shower gel on Aine or seeing her walking out of the bathroom in her pajamas, his instinct would react immediately.

And now Nagasaki Soyo's appearance can be said to be much bolder than Aine's pajamas posture. In addition, Nagasaki Soyo's figure is a bit more mature than her peers, which once again activates Chihaya Tetsuya's desire that he has been trying hard to suppress.

"Isn't it a little too early to dress like this now...?"

Chihaya Tetsuya quickly looked away.

"The weather hasn't been this hot lately, has it?"

On the other side, Nagasaki Suyo first glanced at Chihaya Tetsuya who was deliberately leaning back in his chair, and then a barely perceptible smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"It's not too early, is it? You've already started unbuttoning your pajamas."

"It's because I just drank hot coffee."

Chihaya Tetsuya hurriedly explained:
