"By the way, are you already thinking about having children now, President...?"
"Well, it's bound to happen sooner or later."
Nao isn't the kind of modern, awakened woman who's against having children.
On the contrary, she's really looking forward to seeing what her child with Hakuto would look like!
But of course, it's too early to think about these things now. Their ages don't really allow for such thoughts just yet.
Though, with their combined rights and savings, they've already surpassed 99% of people in this country.
Nao lightly tapped Hakuto's back with her fingers. It was then that she noticed the bruises on his neck.
She furrowed her brows and rubbed his neck.
"What's wrong?" Hakuto asked, sensing her touch.
"Bruises…" Nao responded, "They won't fade."
She knew this was her doing, but she hadn't expected it to turn out this way.
Nao also knew that Hakuto still intended to go out with other girls, and if this affected him, it wouldn't be good.
However, after hearing Nao's words, Hakuto just waved his hand.
"Oh, this? Don't worry, it'll fade in a while." Although a regular strawberry mark might last for a few days, Hakuto was no ordinary person.
"If it doesn't fade, just let your hair down. That way, it'll cover it up."
"Eh? But that would look ugly."
"You don't want other girls to know what we've done, right?"
"President, as expected of you!"
One might say that Hakuto could probably only hear this from Nao's mouth.
Is this the charm of the main consort?! Such generosity, such disregard for small matters! It's incredible…
Nao raised an eyebrow as she looked at Hakuto, who was still casually resting on her legs.
"Get up, put on your clothes, and let's eat!"
"Okay~"
It's not that there are no outsiders, but still, one should pay attention to their image…
Afterward, Hakuto didn't go to school but took Nao to visit Tomori Iroha, her brother.
In a sense, Nao had only this one relative, so after confirming her relationship with Hakuto, it was only natural that she would want to meet this sole family member.
Later, Hakuto and Nao returned to Hoshino Umi, and they "borrowed" the motorcycle that Hakuto had been longing for.
But it couldn't exactly be called stealing, as both of them had once been the former presidents of Hoshino Umi, and having a key to the storage room was basic.
What would the current president of Hoshino Umi feel when they noticed something missing from the storage?
"Hey, someone stole it!"
But Hakuto didn't care about that. He and Nao had worked diligently for Hoshino Umi for so long—what's wrong with taking a motorcycle?! Is that too much?!
If they had a problem with it, they could have Shunsuke confront him face-to-face!
But Shunsuke probably wouldn't care about such things, and he was probably too busy dealing with Otosaka Yuu's issues right now.
Afterward, Hakuto took Nao to many places.
For example, they went to meet Ayumi and Iori.
When the two little girls learned that Hakuto and Nao had confirmed their relationship, they both beamed with excitement!
"Wow!! I knew that Hakuto-nii would end up with Nao-onee!"
This is also why Hakuto likes little girls. It's not because of a certain complex, but because their energetic nature is really healing (｀Δ´)!
…
That night, on an open beach somewhere in Tokyo.
Nao stood barefoot in the shallow waters, feeling the water flow past her ankles, a different sensation.
Today, Hakuto had almost taken her through all the places familiar to them, and almost everyone they knew had found out about their relationship.
So sometimes, it wasn't that Nao didn't care about Hakuto being surrounded by other girls; it's just that she knew he would never forget about the part that belonged to her.
Staring at the stars in the sky and the gaze of her loved one behind her, Nao remembered the times when her ideal love was just like this.
Before she was sold by her biological mother, Nao had been an ordinary girl.
Her grades were even excellent, no worse than Hakuto's now.
Back then, Nao still had some romantic fantasies about love.
However, after the middle school years, Nao became someone who hardly trusted anyone.
That's why she would casually follow her target with a camera, taking pictures without a care.
She didn't care about other people's gazes because they didn't matter.
But fortunately, fate had brought Hakuto into her life, making up for the damage done by her biological mother.
However, just then, Nao looked at Hakuto, who was sitting on the beach, lost in thought.
Hakuto was definitely going to bring Otosaka Yuu back. No matter how confident or indifferent he appeared, Nao couldn't help but worry.
But there was nothing she could do, not even help a little. All she could do was silently pray at home, waiting in place for her boyfriend's return.
If anything happened to Hakuto, Nao would truly be alone.
As Nao was lost in thought, Hakuto, who had been sitting some distance away, suddenly appeared in front of her and gently asked.
"What's wrong? You look upset."
"It's nothing..." Nao shook her head. If she could, she would really want to always stay by Hakuto's side...
Hakuto seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He smiled faintly and said,
"Don't worry, I'm still waiting to come back and register for marriage with you, President."
"Ha~? Didn't you say you wouldn't do that?"
"I just asked Shunsuke, and he said he can handle just registering the information..."
