Chapter 31 Moving
Shichen clearly misunderstood Kasumigaoka Utaha's meaning; he thought she was going to take him to her house to do something as a reward.
Actually, that wasn't the case. When they arrived at her house, Shichen realized that she had asked him to help her move.
Kasumigaoka Utaha decides to move into his coffee shop and live with them.
The coffee shop is closer to the school, so I don't have to worry about breakfast and dinner anymore. I also have a same-sex friend and my first book lover. Compared to my rented apartment, I don't need to worry at all.
The key is that typing is convenient, it's just a matter of going up and down stairs.
Tokichi isn't worried about Kasumigaoka Utaha moving in and disrupting his life; being held by both sides while sleeping every day is quite tiring.
Occasionally, he also wants to sleep comfortably by himself, where he can roll around as he pleases.
With Kasumigaoka Utaha involved, Tohru and Nishiki Chizuka should be more restrained.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's house is not fancy at all, not like a girl's house at all, and can even be described as simple.
There are no cute things, no lots of furniture and pretty clothes, just a bed, cabinets, and a desk—just the things for normal life.
Since I live alone, things need to be simple, and I have no motivation to decorate.
Moving is convenient, but the room is still a bit messy.
The kitchen didn't need cleaning. Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't cook, so she didn't touch the kitchen, but there were quite a few clothes scattered around the room.
As Shichin followed Kasumigaoka Utaha in, she saw the basic white equipment casually tossed on the bed.
She's quite innocent.
Kasumigaoka Utaha hadn't even thought of it. She walked towards the bathroom and said, "I don't have much stuff. The two of us can just pack a little and move. I'll pack my toiletries, and you can help me tidy up the bedding."
"So suddenly? What about the rent?" Tokiko didn't expect Kasumigaoka Utaha to be so quick to act.
"I notified the landlord last week that I was moving out, as the lease was about to expire."
"Oh, was this all planned?" Shi Chen joked with a smile.
"So what? You won't let me move there?" Kasumigaoka Utaha replied with a smile.
"You're very welcome, but although the rent is free, you'll need to help out at the shop occasionally."
"What? You want me to wear a maid outfit too? Are you sure it's okay?" Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up straight, showing off her nice figure.
In reality, Thor was far better than anyone else, but people are different, and Shichen generously appreciated it.
"I'll just have you watch the checkout counter and work as a cashier."
He was indeed reluctant to let Kasumigaoka Utaha work as a waitress, not because he was treating her differently, but because she was just an ordinary person.
Chizuka Nishiki and Tohko are different; they're both very capable. Even if there are bad customers, they won't be able to take advantage of them.
The cashier is much safer; not only is there a counter to protect them, but even if someone causes trouble, Thor and the others can come to their aid immediately.
"That's more like it, but it has to be when I'm free, otherwise I might as well just pay rent." Kasumigaoka Utaha is still accepting of being a cashier.
"no problem."
"Alright, then hurry up and pack my things."
"Do I have to clean that too?" Shi Chen asked with a smile, pointing to the bed.
"What...?!" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked in the direction the time was pointing and then saw the underwear she had changed out of that morning.
In an instant, she blushed.
She was so excited when she received the message that morning that she changed her clothes and went to find the time of day, forgetting to pack her things!
Tap tap tap~
Kasumigaoka Utaha displayed superhuman speed, running to her bedside in an instant and stuffing her basic equipment into her pocket.
"You probably didn't wash it, right? Is it okay to put it in your pocket?" Shi Chen continued to tease her.
"Shut up!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at the time, blushing with embarrassment, but then she quickly dropped the sentence: "It's...and not dirty."
"I didn't say it was dirty," Shi Chen chuckled.
"You're so annoying! Fine, you're not allowed to touch it, I'll clean it myself."
"Is everything alright? There's quite a lot of stuff, isn't there?"
"Not much! You're such a pervert, you're not allowed to move!"
"My fault? Didn't you change it and not put it away properly?"
"Can you please stop mentioning it!"
"Okay, okay."
In the end, Kasumigaoka Utaha packed all her things herself, and Toki stood in the entrance hall for a while.
Kasumigaoka Utaha has fully understood the consequences of a single girl bringing a guy home; privacy is really exposed so easily.
But it's good too; I'll have the experience to apply to my novels.
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't have much stuff, just three big bags: one bag of clothes, one bag of blankets, one bag of daily necessities, and a few books related to her studies.
It's hard to imagine that this is something for a teenage girl; it's so little, with hardly any cosmetics.
However, she is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and she certainly doesn't need these things.
As a boy, Shichen naturally carried the two heaviest bags: clothes and a blanket. However, the bags of daily necessities and study materials were not heavy for Kasumigaoka Utaha.
The two, carrying large and small bags, left the apartment and walked towards the coffee shop.
"I still have one question on my mind." After walking a short distance, Shi Chen couldn't help but speak up.
"What?"
"Is it okay that you don't wash your underwear? You just leave it mixed in with your other clothes?"
"Shut up!" Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed again. "How am I supposed to wash it now? Can't I just put it in a bag?"
"That's true."
"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha really wanted to kick Tokimitsu. This guy was obviously teasing him on purpose.
"That......"
"Don't speak!"
"Well......"
The two didn't exchange another word until they reached the coffee shop.
The two did not enter through the main entrance; the coffee shop was already open, and their presence would disturb the customers.
After going upstairs through the back door, Shiki let Kasumigaoka Utaha choose the room she wanted.
"Which two rooms are Tohru and Chizuka's?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked.
"This room and this room," Shichen replied, pointing to the rooms on either side of his own room.
Although Tohru and Chizuka Nishiki have been sleeping with him for a while, they still have their own room, and it's fully furnished.
It's just not needed.
The two of them barely had any clothes; their work clothes and the only one or two casual clothes they owned were in his closet.
"Then I'll live across the hall." Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around and pushed open the door.
"Okay." Shi Chen followed her into the room.
As soon as the two large bags were put down, Kasumigaoka Utaha started to get emotional.
"I'll pack my things myself, you go ahead and get busy."
"Don't you need my help?"
"What are you going to help me with? Wash my underwear?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glared at him irritably.
Shi Chen stroked his chin and nodded: "It's not impossible."
"Go to hell!" Kasumigaoka Utaha pushed Tokichi out the door.
"Are you sure you don't need my help?"
"No need, I can do it myself. I cleaned it up myself anyway."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"Go away~" Kasumigaoka Utaha slammed the door shut.
Click~
The sound of the door being locked from the inside rang out.
Shi Chen shook his head. Why be so wary of him? He'd already seen her private clothes, and they weren't even washed.
Moreover, he's not interested in basic equipment. In this day and age, do men still care about women's underwear?
So innocent?
It's more like what you wear, or rather, the original style.
Since it has already been washed and still smells of laundry detergent or liquid, I don't think anyone would mind, right?
Since Kasumigaoka Utaha was too embarrassed, Tokishi didn't feel the need to stay any longer, so he went downstairs to find Tohru and the others.
I need to inform the two of them that Kasumigaoka Utaha has moved in.
To Shichen's surprise, the two did not react in any particular way, and Nishiki Chizuka even expressed her welcome.
She handed the work over to Toki and ran upstairs to find Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Shichen was very happy about this; family harmony is more important than anything else. It's just that he still needs a little time to be honest with Kasumigaoka Utaha.
By noon, the shop was bustling with activity, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, having tidied up the room, came down to help with the work.
She took Shichen's place, while Shichen served dishes alongside Nishiki Chizuka.
Working together as a team makes the work easier, and Chisatsuki seems to be even more motivated now.
After the busy midday period ended, Shichen and the others also had lunch.
For Kasumigaoka Utaha's first lunch after joining the group, Tohru didn't target her and even prepared a delicious meal to welcome her.
"So lavish?" Kasumigaoka Utaha entered the kitchen and saw the lunch laid out on the table. She looked at Tohru in surprise and sat down next to her.
"Don't misunderstand, I prepared this for Lord Chen." Thor didn't look at him.
"Hehe~ Let's just take it that way."
"Hmph~"
"Brother Chen, please sit down." Jinmu Qian Shu happily pulled Shi Chen to sit down opposite the two of them.
After everyone was seated, Shichen picked up his juice, raised it, and said with a smile, "How about a toast to Shiyu's arrival?"
"Shouldn't we be drinking?" Thor asked.
"We're not adults yet," Kasumigaoka Utaha retorted.
"Hehe~ Cheers!" Chizuka Nishiki raised her juice glass one last time.
Hey~
