"Excuse me!"
Kaoru: "What Yuzuha sweetie is that true? Just what about the exchanges you've had with him screams affection?"
"It's a misunderstanding! You've got it all wrong!"
Kotaro Horibuchi: "Are you sure? Oh! Has Aito already cast his spell on you then?"
"Er... Cast his spell?"
I ask. Kotaro nods.
Kotaro Horibuchi: "It's that attitude of his. At first I thought he hated me too but that's just his personality."
His personality...
Takeomi Shiina: "He's a man of mystery right? But that's part of his charm."
Kotaro Horibuchi: "All the girls fall for his mysterious man vibe."Even other guys think aman who hides in the shadows is pretty cool"
"Huh, you think, so...I'm not quite sure"
Not knowing what he thinks just makes me feel anxious...
I spot a book on the sofa Aito was sitting on
"That's the book he was reading..."
Taisuke Nadauchi: "Yeah it's his. And he reads it over and over again" Taisuke says, handing me the book.
It's a little heavy, just as I imagined it would be. What's it about... business? I womcer as I flip over to the front cover. The title is in English.
"Knight and Prince..." From the title, it sounded like a fairtale
Kotaro Horibuchi: "Ooh, I didn't know what Niece-girl could read English"
"Uh, I can't really. I just know the basics. But this book... its's not a Japanese translation, it's all in English. I wonder id Aito can read English?"
Takeomi Shiina: "He's live overseas his whole life. He's fluent, it's basically his first language."
"Huh! Really?!"
Taisuke Nadauchi: "See?! Isn't he a man of many wonders? Well anything else you want to know, you should just ask him directly. You'' probably get lots more shocking information out of him" Taisuke says jokingly but I'm pretty sure he's right.
If he's spemt most of his life overseas why is he in Japan? And working as a rental boyfriend of all things?
Kotaro Horibuchi: "Aw man I wish I could be cool like Aito."
Kaoru: "I dunno Kota, don't you think his mysterious atmosphere is a bit too hard for you to pull off?"
Kotaro Horibuchi: "N-Not at all! I've got plenty of fans too, you know"
"Woah!"
Kotaro suddenly yanked on my hand. I lose my balance and fall against his chest. I look up to find Kotaro's face just inches from mine.
"Wha...What"
Kotaro Horibuchi: "Don't you think so too? Arent there moments where I'm also dashingly cool?"
"Errrr"
His on point perception takes my breath away. If Aito's gaze is cold as ice, then Kotaro's is as a wolf's
"Mmmmh, I..."
I try to answer him but only stammerings come out of my mouth. Come on Yuzuha, usually you always have something to say! Why do I feel trapped by his eyes all of a sudden?
