Eternal Melody

Chapter 1083 Tokyo Illusion Part 21



YUHI

After personally making a few phone calls, Yuhi managed to shift his schedule around. Initially he was supposed to have a break for a few days anyway, but during gatherings like this major sponsors show up. He ended up talking to a few and thus the result was more work. They didn't seem too happy he was delaying things, but when he said he would find a substitute instead. They immediately changed their minds and said they would wait.

"Sumire--" He paused, seeing her with Lucifer.

Lucifer was hugging her tightly. For a moment Yuhi froze. Although Sumire has been meeting with Lucifer even after he returned. He has never gone with her. 

"Lex." Sumire said softly. "What was that all about?"

"I searched for your brother."

"I know but--"

"Do you not like my surprise?" Lucifer asked.

"I'm happy, but." Sumire caressed his cheek. "What did it cost you to find him?"

Lucifer doesn't say anything.

"Lex--"

"It's alright." Lucifer's tone is gentle. "It wasn't a great sacrifice."

Sumire bit her lip, she clearly didn't believe him.

"Have you been faring well? You have lost a bit of weight."

"Mm, I think it's stress."

"Do you, want to go on a walk with me?" Lucifer offered.

"Now?"

Lucifer chuckles. "It doesn't have to be now. I'm aware you have to get ready for these things."

"I'm going to, ask Yuhi and then I'll let you know."

Lucifer frowned but nodded.

"Lex, can I drink from you?"

"Of course." Lucifer happily obliged and Yuhi watched Sumire lung for his neck.

'Sumire mentioned to me what happened between Mashima and the other Nagawa daughter.' But he assumed they stopped that when Sumire returned. Is it serious?

Yuhi exhales deeply. 'The only reason I am encouraging it, is because I want one less rival. I really am selfish wanting to keep Sumire all to myself. The other guys, Kou and the others gave up on Sumire because of me. I made myself out to be a pitiful.'

"I'm going to be late. Don't wait for me okay?"

"Yeah."

"I'm serious. Don't wait, you need to sleep."

Toh chuckled. "I don't think we will be doing much sleeping Akane dear. You have a way to keep me up all night after all."

Yuhi watched the exchange curiously. If anybody else heard the two, they would think that the two were flirting. However, Yuhi could see the hollow look in Mashima's eyes. He hears footsteps behind him and turns to see Sumire.

"Mmm, my dear?"

"Oh." Sumire looked over at Toh's understanding. "Uh, good morning."

Mashima smiled. "Morning beautiful, had a pleasant night?"

At those words Sumire blushed and then her expression changed into concern. She grabbed a cloak from the corner and turned to say something else to Mashima. But, he was already walking away.

Sumire turned to him. "I'm just going to--"

"Yeah, return soon."

Sumire nodded and hurried after Mashima. He watched her tug on the edge of his clothing.

"Toh."

"I'm fine, beautiful." Toh extended his hand out and caressed her cheek. "But you'll need some food. Have breakfast with me?"

"Okay."

"Better get some more meat in you, not that I don't like you now."

Sumire giggled. "I know, you like me a lot right?"

"More than you'll ever know."

Yuhi had to stop listening then and retreated inside the room.

lightsΝοvel His heart felt heavy. But, he knew he couldn't cause a tantrum. Mashima has been respectful enough. The man coincidentally went on a business trip shortly after he returned.

In the time Mashima has come back, he has maintained a reasonable distance from Sumire.

Mashima isn't like Nagawa.

But, maybe that's exactly what the problem was. If Mashima behaved like Nagawa Sano, he could deal with him easily.
