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

Chapter 76: Sisters United

Upon hearing this, Inoue Keiko chuckled and quickly explained the truth. Otherwise, Himeno Natsuki would have been sent to heaven in a moment.

"No, no. It's true that I attended a class reunion with Mr. Yamazaki yesterday. But our romantic relationship is fake."

"Fake?"

Himeno Natsuki suddenly raised her head and looked at Yamazaki Kazukaze.

"Yes, my relationship with Keiko is fake. Keiko was worried about being pressured to get married by her classmates at the reunion, so she asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend."

"That's right, so my relationship with Yamazaki-sensei is just that of siblings."

Keiko Inoue looked into Natsuki Himeno's eyes and said.

Hahahahaha.

Upon hearing the news, Himeno Natsuki let out a hearty laugh.

"Natsuki, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother."

Himeno Kiyoyuki shook Himeno Natsuki's shoulder, but her daughter seemed to be bewitched and wouldn't stop.

"It's over, this woman has finally gone mad."

Himeno Saki Ryo sighed and said.

When they saw Himeno Natsuki laughing uncontrollably, everyone in the Himeno family panicked.

Because Himeno Natsuki suffers from mild bipolar disorder, Chiba Masatsuki immediately called an ambulance to take Himeno Natsuki to a mental hospital.

"Ms. Chiba, please wait a moment. Don't call an ambulance. I have a plan."

Keiko Inoue reached out her hand, signaling Masatsuki Chiba to stop.

"What method?"

Chiba Masatsuki looked puzzled, while Inoue Keiko cleared her throat and spoke leisurely.

"However, this does not mean that Mr. Yamazaki and I will not become lovers or husband and wife in the future."

"ha?!"

Himeno Natsuki, who was laughing halfway through, immediately stopped.

"Yes, I've known Mr. Yamazaki for a long time. Six years ago, he came to Tokyo alone, and I've been taking care of him ever since."

"I've always thought of him as my younger brother. If Mr. Yamazaki is willing to let me become his wife, I don't think I would refuse."

After Inoue Keiko finished speaking, she cupped her cheeks in her hands, looking so delicate that Himeno Saki, who was eating watermelon at the dining table, was stunned.

"Haha, in that case, Mr. Yamazaki, I'll act as matchmaker. Will you agree to marry Keiko?"

Himeno Seiyuki smiled and asked Yamazaki Kazukaze what he thought.

Upon hearing this, Inoue Keiko was startled. She had only intended to issue a challenge to Himeno Nazuki, never imagining that they would have a decisive battle today.

Looking at the embarrassed Inoue Keiko and then at the tearful Himeno Natsuki, Yamazaki Kazuka wondered how to answer Himeno Seiyuki's question.

"I object!"

Surprisingly, this objection came from Himeno Saki.

Completely disoriented, Himeno Natsuki looked at her younger sister with eager eyes.

"This is no place for you to talk. Go play somewhere else!"

Unaware of the inside story, Hime no Kiyoseki was about to act as a matchmaker for her ex-boyfriend in front of her eldest daughter.

This left Himeno Natsuki with a bitter pill to swallow.

"That's cheating! In this situation, it would be very awkward if Mr. Yamazaki didn't agree to Aunt Keiko's request."

"What if Mr. Yamazaki agrees to your marriage, but he doesn't love you? What if Mr. Yamazaki marries you out of gratitude? That would be so unfair to him."

"Maybe Mr. Yamazaki has someone he likes?"

Himeno Saki's question left Inoue Keiko at a loss for words. Because what she said was precisely the issue that Inoue Keiko had always worried about.

If Yamazaki Kazukazu still loves Himeno Natsuki, what should I do? Should I bind him with responsibility for the rest of my life?

"Aoi, Yazuki, drag this girl to the back garden right now. Don't let her cause trouble here."

Hime no Kiyoseki pointed at her second daughter and gave the order.

"Mom, I think Saki Ryo makes a good point."

Himeno Natsuki, who had been acting crazy and being toyed with by Inoue Keiko since just now, finally came to her senses.

"What's the logic behind this?"

"Saki Ryo is right. Ms. Keiko, although you have spent the most time with Mr. Yamazaki, this precisely shows that Mr. Yamazaki doesn't have any feelings for you, or rather, he only sees you as an older sister."

"I'm going to say something you might not like to hear. If Mr. Yamazaki really liked you, the two of you would have confirmed your feelings for each other within two weeks at most, instead of things being like this now."

Having adjusted her mindset, Himeno Natsuki prepares to launch a counterattack.

"I just don't want a relationship to affect Kaze's studies and career."

"Sigh, stop fooling yourself. Aunt Keiko, which high school student doesn't date these days? Mr. Yamazaki, you must have dated in high school, right?"

Himeno Natsuki blinked, threatening Yamazaki Kazukazu that he must admit the truth, or else they would all perish.

"We've talked about it..."

"Oh my, Yamazaki-sensei, you've actually been in a relationship!?"

Himeno Kiyose asked in surprise.

"We've already broken up..."

"What kind of girl is so blind as to break up with you?"

Upon hearing this, Himeno Natsuki's veins bulged, but she still tried to save face in front of her mother in a polite manner.

"Mom, life is full of unexpected events. What if Mr. Yamazaki's ex-girlfriend, like me, went abroad to study?"

"Mr. Yamazaki, you're not still heartbroken, are you? A real man doesn't have to worry about this. If a woman leaves, just find another one."

As the saying goes, a good horse doesn't eat the grass it's already grazed!

Hearing her mother say these words to her ex-boyfriend, Himeno Natsuki really wanted to spit blood onto her face.

"Mom, you can't say that. What if his ex-girlfriend comes back to the country? What if they were going to get back together, but Aunt Keiko interferes, leaving Mr. Yamazaki with a lifelong regret?"

"Aunt Huizi, what goes around comes around. You don't want to be a mistress, do you?"

Himeno Natsuki is regaining her composure and has begun to mock Inoue Keiko.

"What nonsense are you talking about! She's not his current girlfriend. What's immoral about Aunt Keiko dating Mr. Yamazaki?"

Himeno Natsuki was trembling with anger that her own mother was helping an outsider.

"I think the same way as Natsuki-san. Kaze is very popular at school, and I can't steal someone else's thunder."

Keiko Inoue smiled.

"At least you have some self-awareness."

Himeno Natsuki crossed her legs.

"However, it all depends on Kaze's own thoughts. I will wish him all the best no matter who he wants to marry."

"Ha, hypocrisy."

Himeno Natsuki laughed dismissively.

"It's time for class. I'm going to take Aoi and Saki to class."

Yamazaki Kazuka glanced at the coach's watch, quickly stood up, and gestured for Himeno Saki and Uesugi Aoi to leave the living room.

"I have said everything I needed to say. Sister Qingxue, please allow me to take my leave."

Having achieved her goal of issuing the challenge, Keiko Inoue rose to take her leave.

"Huizi, wait a moment. If you're free today, come with me to the tea ceremony enthusiasts' club."

Himeno Seiyuki called out to Inoue Keiko.

"Okay, Sister Qingxue, I'd also like to enjoy tea with you."

Himeno Kiyoyuki took Inoue Keiko's hand and walked together to the door.

The conversation just now gave her a plan: she would squeeze every last drop of value out of Yamazaki Kazukaze.

For Himeno Seiyuki's branch of the family, there is a major problem: they have no male heirs.

Himeno Kiyoyuki and her husband only had two daughters, neither of whom were suitable to inherit their business.

Several years ago, Hime no Kiyose had discussed adopting a child with her husband.

This kind of thing is very common in large Japanese families.

During the Warring States period, powerful families would adopt capable individuals as sons to secure their inheritance. These adopted sons had the legal right to inherit.

However, the Himeno couple couldn't find a suitable candidate. The appearance of Yamazaki Kaze made Himeno Seiyuki's eyes light up.

Imagine you adopt Yamazaki Kazuka as your son, and then act as matchmaker to arrange a marriage between Inoue Keiko and Yamazaki Kazuka.

Not only did he gain a capable son, but he also strengthened his relationship with the Inoue family.

In this way, I didn't have to pay anything and still got two benefits.

Himeno Seiyuki invited Inoue Keiko to ride in his car, intending to continue encouraging Inoue Keiko to pursue Yamazaki Kaze.

Without those two annoying people bothering me, this matter should have gone smoothly.

Himeno Kiyose thought so.
