Chapter 112: A Plain Day
" I'm okay now, Kyouko. But I never thought that would be the case. Luckily, that girl with Skye seems like she will be able to accept him with all his conditions."
Ray gave his all to hold himself from laughing maniacally. And for that girl? Ray was pretty confident because he had used the system to observe the girl's information, and in fact, the result somewhat horrified him.
At least with this, Skye wouldn't be able to cheat from that girl and avoided the scenario where School day's ending would happen to him.
However, Kyouko, who heard Ray's word, thought that Ray was really concerned with Skye and couldn't help to feel mellow in her heart.
" Thank you, dear. I will surely tell Skye to cherish that girl."
Kyouko came to Ray and embraced him deeply. To her, this man was worth more than anything in this world.
" By the way, Kyouko, what is all about this document?"
Ray brought the document that he took from Kyouko's hand and place it on her table.
From what he read, the document was about the business of Stellar cosmetics. It seems they were in a bit of trouble because their competitor was releasing a new product.
[ The Star skin whitening cream ]
Made out of high-grade herbal materials and also the Stellar cosmetic main product. Before the era of spiritual awakening, Stellar cosmetics has acquired more than 70% of the market. However, after the era of spiritual awakening, herbologists found some plants also started to mutate due to the high concentration of spiritual aura and became spiritual plants.
This fact also made a huge revolutionary in the medical industry, and recently the cosmetic industry also started to get affected.
One of the Stellar cosmetic's rivals, the Queen Cosmetic, not long ago announced that they have gained a stable supply of spiritual plants and would soon launch their product into the industry.
Back to Ray and Kyouko, Ray held Kyouko's body in his embrace. Actually, he felt a little bit guilty since he has just received $1,000,000 from Kyouko for his spiritual ranch.
" Don't worry, Kyouko, if it is just spiritual plants, your husband has a lot of it. Believe me, in the range of 5 days, I will bring it to you."
What Ray said wasn't false. From his gacha, he got a lot of cosmetics plants, like the hibiscus, silk flower, and rose, and it would only need a few days to mature because of the high spiritual energy concentration in the spirit ranch.
However, it was only Ray who thought so. Even though he had been bringing many miracles, Kyouko thought that Ray was only saying that out of consideration for her.
Well, even if he would only bring a spiritual plant for me, I would still love him, Kyouko thought.
To Kyouko, Ray displaying his affection and consideration was enough.
" I don't need the spiritual plants. Even if they could launch the spiritual cosmetic, it would only take the high-class market, and the lower-class would still be held by us. Rather than that, how about you accompany me into this."
She brought out an invitation card from her pocket and show it to Ray.
" This invitation is for next Friday's high-class ball. If you could be with me for this party, I will be really happy."
" Of course I will go. Even if I need to cross the seven seas, I will do it for you."
" Bah, glib tongue."
The two then enjoyed their time together in the office. Kyouko sat on Ray's lap, and if not for Emi's sudden interruption, they might be doing some round there.
****
It was at 4 P.M. that Ray finally left Kyouko's office. Emi was bailing with tears when he left, but he promised Emi that he would take her on a date just the two of them and she eventually let Ray go.
Leaving the office, his only destination was the Vermillion residence. It's not like Ray prefers the Vermillions and Jean more than Kyouko and Emi, but Ray was still not accustomed yet to Emi.
That girl loves him so much and will do anything for him. And Ray felt guilty about it.
For Ray, It was only about a few months since his first time meeting Emi, so he couldn't say that he could love Emi as much as she did. Thus this somehow created a barrier between them.
He actually had asked Emi why did she love him, but Emi only answers with something like 'When I met you for the first time, I know you will be the one.' and that only made Ray get more confused.
Ray knew he should sort his heart with Emi as soon as possible, but… he still wasn't ready for it.
'*Sigh* at the ends, nothing changes, huh. I am still a coward inside.'
[ Aina needs to disagree with that host. It was true that you are still a coward, but for you to say that there is no progress, Aina wants to refute that.]
' Hehe, thanks. It feels weird when you praise me this much.'
[ Beh, Aina thinks that she should retract her previous sentence. You are still the same lecher as before. Aina is not talking to you anymore.]
The short interaction with Aina had made Ray's mood better. He put the problem with Emi behind his mind and decided to focus on growing the spiritual plants first.
Ray had decided that he wants to pull a surprise for Kyouko In the high-class ball. This woman has done so much for him, and for Ray to put much effort into her, it was all worth it.
He had resolved himself that he would buy a silver-grade spiritual cosmetic formula from the shop for Kyouko, and even if it would cost more than half of his current System points, Ray would still bear it. The System Points that he has now were mostly from Kyouko, and doing this would just be like paying back Kyouko.
