I was Thrown into an Unfamiliar Manga - Chapter 324
“Don’t you think I should take it off? It’s a class that overlaps with the meteor shower that only happens once a week.”
“As you know, Rika is studying design hard at university, and Karen recently won another national competition. Sasha comes to Japan occasionally to take successor classes in Russia, and Fuma-senpai seems to be very busy these days because of the recent popularity of exorcism. It seems that she has also landed the lead role in a new drama, and Meiling is training in the mountains. Ayase is…well, she’s doing her usual broadcasting work.”
Kumiko, the president of the Tea Culture Research Club, and her husband, Yusei, ask about the students’ recent activities and decide to keep their marriage a secret. After returning home, Yusei receives a call from Rika and goes to pick her up. There, a Harley Davidson motorcycle is prepared for Yusei.
I commented on an unknown manga – Chapter 324
[Chapter 324] Recent Activities Talk
Kumiko-senpai, the president, is currently active as the president of the Saionji Group.
Therefore, she is out of school more often than she is in school, but Kyoto University is very accommodating of the president’s convenience.
After all, the president is the head of one of the most prestigious families in Kyoto and has complex relationships with various high-ranking officials, so it is possible.
“Who slept at home yesterday?”
I answered the president’s question quietly, looking around.
“…Rika.”
The president raised her chin and glared at me, then asked, crossing her legs.
“Did you?”
“…Yes.”
“How many times?”
“…Five times.”
“Then I’ll do it six times.”
The president said that with a big smile on her face.
It seems that she has a free schedule today and can come to the newlywed house.
Even though it had been almost a year since they got married, the president was still very jealous.
The president is the one who couldn’t handle my energy and proactively created a harem, but I can’t help it because thinking with your head and accepting it with your heart are two different things.
However, I think that the president’s jealousy is also part of her charm, so I told her that I would wait for her, fully prepared, and then decided to concentrate on my Russian class.
***
After class, I followed the president to the Tea Culture Research Club building outside Kyoto University.
The president is currently the president of the Tea Culture Research Club, and since the tea ceremony club itself is a gathering of the elite in Kyoto University, it seems that she was naturally elected to the position of president.
Therefore, although there is usually a club building within the school, the Tea Culture Research Club rents an entire traditional house near the school as its club building.
Creak!
When I followed the president into the club building, there was only one person inside drinking tea.
It was Minami, the president’s secretary and now my close friend.
She is also a student at Kyoto University, like the president and me, but she is in a different department.
“As expected of Minami, you have prepared it in advance.”
“Welcome. Miss.”
Minami greeted the president respectfully and then glanced at me standing next to her. She asked in a stiff voice.
“What are you doing here today, Kim Yusei?”
She clearly didn’t look happy.
In fact, the reason she is so sharp with me is because I don’t know anything about tea ceremony.
When I was invited to this building for the first time, Minami personally served me matcha, which I drank in one shot without thinking, and since then I have been treated like a savage who doesn’t know how to drink tea.
Well, most of it is true, so it doesn’t bother me at all.
“I called you. I had something urgent to tell you.”
There is no better place to have a private conversation than here.
The president pointed to the seat opposite her, and I knelt on the tatami mat, feeling awkward.
Then, Minami, who had been looking at me and the president alternately, let out a small sigh and served us tea herself.
“Thank you. Minami.”
“It’s the least I can do.”
“Thank you, Minami.”
“You drink slowly.”
…Aren’t you being a little too rude to me?
However, it wasn’t the first or second time that Minami had treated me like this, so I put the teacup to my mouth, feeling helpless.
“Oh, it’s delicious.”
“It’s expensive.”
“How much?”
“About 100,000 yen for a box of green tea.”
“…This?”
I suddenly felt like my appetite had disappeared.
It’s like wearing clothes that don’t fit your body.
Seeing me like that, the president chuckled and said.
“Isn’t it about time you got used to it? You’re my husband, after all.”
“That’s true, but I guess I’m not used to drinking expensive things, even if I can eat them.”
To be honest, I prefer carbonated drinks to green tea, so I wondered if it was tasty, but was it worth paying this much?
Anyway, we were having a leisurely time when the president suddenly spoke up.
“So, Yusei-kun, how are the others doing these days?”
“Oh, you mean the others?”
I thought about everyone’s recent activities in response to the president’s question.
“Everyone’srecentcircumstancescametomindonebyoneasIthoughtbacktowhatthechairmanhadasked.”
“WhatawaitedmetherewastheHarleyDavidson,anAmericanmotorcyclethatcouldbecalledthesymbolforallmen’sromanceandmachoism.”
“Asyouknow,chairman,Rikaisstudyingdesignhardwhileattendinguniversity,andKarenrecentlycompetedinanationalcompetitionandseemslikehewonthechampionship.SashaoccasionallycomestoJapanfromRussiaasthesuccessor,andHumaseemstoobusytoevenblinkthankstothefactthatexorcismisprevailingrecently.Ithinkhe’sgoingtobetheleadroleinthenextdrama,andMeilingisinaretreattraininginthe mountains.Ayaseis…well,doingbroadcastingworklikealways.”
“Everyoneislivingbusily.”
“That’s why I only see them occasionally.”
The nine of us are currently connected through marriage, but we are scattered all over the place to pursue our own dreams.
At most, it’s only me and Rika who stay overnight at the newlywed house the chairman prepared for us.
The others come down to Kyoto once in a while when they have time and stay overnight, so it’s almost like a weekend marriage.
“Let’s all get together and have a meal someday. I can’t even remember the last time we all got together.”
“Oh, yes. I’ll ask the others.”
After all, when you have about nine wives, there are bound to be groups that are close to each other and groups that are awkward with each other.
That’s why I always had to act as a mediator when something like this happened.
After that, we talked for a while, sharing what had happened recently like ordinary lovers.
Since the fact that we were married was a secret within the school, the only place we could talk so comfortably was inside this tea ceremony club building.
That’s why I wanted to enjoy this precious time a little longer, but before I knew it, it was time for the chairman to go to his next schedule, so I reluctantly turned back to school.
***
After all my classes were over, I returned home at 6:00 PM.
Normally, I would have gone shopping for dinner with Rika, but today Rika said she was going out drinking, so I planned to just eat a simple cup of ramen.
I poured hot water boiled in the coffee pot into a cup of ramen and sat down in front of the TV.
Since there wasn’t any particular entertainment program that I wanted to watch, I changed channels and stopped when I found a familiar face.
“Today at 12:00 PM, Ivan Romanov, the president of the Russian Easter Egg Company, announced the opening of the 3rd NGOF. The sponsors for this event are…”
Ivan, who I had a terrible first encounter with but is now my father-in-law and teacher.
He often tells me to drop my studies and succeed him, but other than that, I’ve come to realize that he’s a decent person.
“More than that, he’s opening another NGOF.”
As the words “3rd” suggest, the 1st NGOF was held when I was in my third year of high school.
I joined the ” Qualified Department” (comprehensive fighting club) against my will due to Sasha’s coercion, and somehow ended up going to the NGOF with Ryuuji. We defeated the world’s strongest fighters one after another, and in the final match, I faced Ryuuji, who was possessed by both Mahes and Chiaki at the same time.
Ryuuji, who had been training hard since his defeat by Seth in Egypt, had become a fighter who could rival me.
Of course, he wouldn’t have been able to reach that level in such a short time if it weren’t for Mahes and Chiaki, but if we were to argue like that, my Extreme Ocean Control is also a cheat key, so it’s like arguing over who’s better.
Anyway, after a battle of nearly an hour in the final match against Ryuuji, I was the one who lifted the winner’s trophy.
“That Mahes guy had such a refreshing expression.”
Thinking about it now, it’s all good memories.
I was thinking about that and concentrating on the news when suddenly…
Drrrrrrr!
My cell phone alarm suddenly rang, and I checked the caller ID.
“Rika”
“What the heck?”
I stopped to answer the phone and checked the time.
6:30 PM.
It wasn’t time for Rika to call yet.
I was wondering what was going on, but when I answered the phone, Rika’s cheerful voice came through the receiver.
“Ah! Ryu-chan! Can you come pick me up right now?”
“Right now? I don’t mind, but what about our dinner plans?”
“I thought it was going to be just us girls, but then I found out that some of our senior male colleagues were also coming to the party. So I canceled my plans and came out alone.”
“I see. I’ll be right there.”
“Okay, hurry up.”
I slurped down the rest of my cup ramen and checked the address of the store that Rika had sent me in the morning.
It was an izakaya not far from my house.
I grabbed the motorcycle key from the shoe rack and headed to the garage in the backyard.
What was waiting for me there was the American motorcycle, Harley Davidson, which can be called the romance of all men and the symbol of macho.
