CHAPTER 10 - MAID HIME-SAMA (MY PRINCESS MAID)

MAID HIME

"Ehem," somebody cleared his throat. It was Kota, he was smiling at them. Beside her was the totally amused Naru. "Did I just saw the two of you kissed passionately at this table?" Kota asked.  

Keito went back to become serious. Miharu could feel her cheeks burn. So, there were really people watching them. That was totally embarrassing and she had an image to hold on to. This would not be good if her readers heard that she was caught kissing in the public.  

"Yes, we did." It was Keito. Miharu looked at him angrily. He smiled at her.  

"And those smiles of you are only for Miharu, am I right?" Naru asked teasingly.  

"Not really, I smile randomly," answered Keito coolly.  

Naru and Kota laughed at them.  

"Ah, here they are." Kota commented as Hikaru and Oburi approached them.  

Kota greeted Hikaru in an embrace.  

"You knew each other?" Miharu asked.  

"We are best friends." Kota told her.  

Miharu looked at Oburi. "I'm not supposed to be here. He just dragged me. He told me you guys will be here so I would be fine." 

"Eh, Obu-chan, you see now. They are also here." Hikaru commented. Oburi just gave him a death glare. "Eh, be nice, Obu-chan." 

Yuri went back to their table.  

"Where is Kyoumi?" Miharu asked. Kyoumi had been acting weird since they came in. She just wasn't in her usual self.  

"She said she's tired so she'll stay in her room in this hotel," Yuri explained. He saw Oburi and Hikaru so he smiled at them.  

Ryosuke came in his white suit followed by the confused Yuki in pink Chinese collared long gown.  

"Yuki?" Yuri stood up upon seeing his twin. "What are you doing here?" he asked.  

"She couldn't stay away from for too long so she came, ne, Yuki hime?" It was Ryosuke who answered.  

Yuki smiled at them.  

The stage lighted up. The music stopped and the guests who were still dancing went back to their own table. Aoi and Yuto joined their table while Kei with an unknown lady came down from the floor above.  

Yamada Houtarou, together with her beautiful wife, Ryomina went on the stage.  

"We called all of you tonight for a celebration. Earlier this evening, I, Yamada Houtarou, together with my best of friends, Arioka Masaki and Miura Harui have signed a new partnership in shipping, import and export business.  

Yuki's eyes became slits. It was a huge clue.  

A curtain dropped down. It showed a model of a huge shipping port.  

"This is our newest acquired shipping port," Yamada-san boasted while looking at the model. "It has state of the arts shipping vessels and security. It is a pride of Yamada, Arioka and Mirua."  

The guests have their hands.  

Arioka-san, and Miura-san together with their wives joined them.  

Ryosuke smiled at Yuki and joined his parents. Daiki and Haruma was also there. They would be the successor of the business. Haruma raised up his glass, "To the YAM Shipping Company," he yelled. All the guests followed. "To the YAM Shipping Company," all together, they drank their drinks.
