NOVEL NEXT 23. Tenjoin Ryuga
Kouske's POV
"Oh.Hello, Kouske-kun! I'm a long-time friend of your father's!"
"My name is Tenjoin Ryuga. It's a pleasure to finally meet you"
I just stare at him for a while. I remember Kaito (the kid's dad) often saying that name. They were childhood friends or something. I think he's the one who's still keeping the Miyamura Group afloat.
"Yes, sir. It's a pleasure. Dad used to talk a lot about you"
"I see. Just call me uncle. Let's sit down. We can talk while having some tea."
"Sure"
As we sit down the butler serves me some tea.
"Here you go, Miyamura-sama."
This guy's strange. He has dark brown hair and an average face but what strikes anyone's interest about him is his eyes.
His eyes are almost shut together. A normal person would think he's walking while his eyes are shut together.
But for someone like me, I can see that his eyes are not completely closed. I can see his focused brown pupils staring at me.
"He's Kujo Kai. He's been my butler for a long time." Tenjoin-san introduced him to me.
Kujo-san gave me a polite bow.
Looking again at Tenjoin, he has ash-blonde hair and brown eyes with spectacles on them. He gives off the vibe of a stereotypical serious businessman.
"I was having a little chat with Lavinia-san here. I didn't know you had such a beautiful cousin." He said while giving me an inquiresive look.
"Hahaha...She's a very distant cousin of mine"
"Okay." then kinda looked grim and serious.
"I'm sorry for not being there for you all this time. After Kaito and Iselin's sudden death, I had to look after his company. So for the last few months, I've been busier than ever."
"It's okay uncle. I have been fine living by myself. I also have Lavinia with me."
"Hmm. But don't you need servants to maintain all this? Should I send some maids over?"
"That won't be necessary. I like my privacy."
"Hmm..." he looked to be in deep thought.
"So be it. Here are some documents regarding your father's company. It was with me for a while. You should keep it safe in the locker."
"OK," I said as I took over the documents. He also gave me a black card saying that I could use the money however I wanted. I wasn't polite and took the money as he said this was from my father's account.
"Well, Kouske-kun. Come visit my house to have dinner with us tomorrow. My family would love to meet you."
I give him a curious look as I thought he and his family live in Tokyo.
"Hahaha. I have just moved into this town. My house is just a few blocks away from yours. It's newly made. I just moved in. The workers are furnishing everything. So it's a bit messy today."
If it's a newly constructed house that's only a few blocks away, then I think I saw a big mansion being built over there.
From the kid's memories, I know it has probably been being built since last year. I guess these two friends wanted to live close to each other.
"Okay. I will come."
"Hm. Bring Lavinia-san too. You should meet my daughter. She's your age. I think the three of you can become good friends."
"Hm," Lavinia also nodded.
After that, we chatted for a while. Then they left in their car. The Miyamura and Tenjoin were partnered groups. If I remember correctly both of them are very big companies.
But I just can't help but feel I have seen them somewhere before. But I know for a fact the kid doesn't have any memories of seeing them. Well, maybe they met when the kid was still just a toddler?
I looked at the documents in my hand. They were legal documents about me being the legitimate heir of the Miyamura Group. But I will only inherit them when I'm an adult. During this time the temporary CEO will be Tenjoin. I put them in the safe with a new password.
After that Lavinia and I had some dinner. Then we went to sleep together.

In the morning, I again wake up being embraced by a rather beautiful girl. Lavinia always looks mesmerizing in the morning even though she's so young.
Her skin is soft like butter. It's also as white as milk even though she doesn't use any kind of products. Maybe, a child's natural beauty?
"Hngg!...Is it already time to get up, Ko-kun?"
While I was mesmerized by her beauty, she woke up letting out a sweet moan. She still looked sleepy though.
"Yes. We need to get ready for morning training."
After that, we did our normal routine and went to school together.
Nothing interesting happened except Momo being even more absent-minded today. The teacher had to call out to her several times.
After school, I took Momo's hand as I pulled her towards my house. She looked surprised but didn't look reluctant.
Asagi was glaring at me though.
"Hmph!"
Then she would just turn her face around with a pout.
"Asagi-chaaan!" Lavinia hugged her while rubbing her face against Asagi's.
"W-what are you doing Lavinia-san?"
"Don't just suddenly hug me! Also, move your face. You are too close! "
"But, you just looked sooo cute Asagi-chan"
With their banter going on we reached our house. Asagi looked like she wanted to know what we would do.
I would have liked to invite her. But not today. She might get jealous seeing me giving Momo another one of those pendants.
So I bade my farewell to Asagi. The three of us entered the house. Then Lavinia returned to our room as she normally doesn't disturb us when I'm teaching Momo.
Then Momo and I were left alone in the room.
