Tokyo: Becoming the Perfect Male God Starting with a Rented Boyfriend

Chapter 56 Visiting Shiori

……

After a journey that was neither too long nor too short, the two returned to the apartment.

After having dinner at Tsukimi's house, Miyazawa Itsuki finished his work and then said goodbye to Tsukimi Sakura, returning to his room.

Miyazawa Itsuki leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.

Her Highness seemed a little down.

On the last stretch of the way home, Tsukimi Sakuna didn't say another word.

Even when cooking and eating, she behaves negatively. She's mostly silent.

...It's probably because I declined the invitation.

Miyazawa Itsuki's gaze remained fixed.

To be honest, I never expected that Tsukimi Sakuna would invite me.

We made plans to go shopping for daily necessities together on the weekend, which seemed like a very ordinary thing.

But this is already a very unusual move considering the personalities and relationship between the two.

For the Holy Maiden, who usually dislikes troubling others, to say those words, it must have taken a lot of courage.

On ordinary days, Miyazawa Itsuki would gladly accompany Tsukimi Sakura to buy daily necessities, whether as a friend or as a protector.

but.

There was really no other way this time.

His weekends, at least during the day, are already fully booked.

To make up for Naomi's date, he turned down the app's order.

If it's postponed this week, it definitely can't be delayed any longer next week.

So I can't promise to go together next week.

As for his time with Shiori, it has always been Miyazawa Itsuki's top priority and cannot be coordinated.

"If there's another chance in the future, I'll invite her instead."

Miyazawa Itsuki muttered to himself.

Although it's uncertain whether Her Highness will agree to this, it's highly likely that I'm just being delusional.

But to show our stance, we still have to do this.

At worst, I'll just get rejected once.

Miyazawa Itsuki thought for a while and then shook his head.

……

The next day.

early morning.

Miyazawa Itsuki changed into his outdoor clothes and left the apartment.

We took a bus and first arrived at Mori-zumi Cafe.

The coffee shop was nearly empty in the early morning, with only a handful of customers.

Since it wasn't yet peak working hours, the store was mostly filled with elderly regulars.

They were all a little surprised to see Miyazawa Itsuki enter.

If you know someone, just greet them directly.

"Oh, it's Miyazawa-kun! You're here so early today, does that mean I'll be able to enjoy Mr. Miyazawa's freshly made desserts every morning from now on?"

"I'm just here to pick up something. I'm sorry, Mr. Matsumoto, but we can't offer freshly made service this morning."

Miyazawa Itsuki gave a polite smile.

"Oh, that's a real shame..."

Mr. Matsumoto sighed regretfully.

On days when Mrs. Mori was away, Miyazawa Itsuki would prepare the refrigerated desserts to be sold the next day the night before.

This is for customers to place orders during the day.

However, desserts that have been refrigerated overnight can never compare to fresh ones. Therefore, customers prefer to visit in the evening, during Miyazawa Itsuki's working hours.

Miyazawa Itsuki went to the front desk and greeted Mr. Morizumi, who was already there, engrossed in grinding coffee beans.

"Good morning, store manager."

"Oh, hey, it's Ashu."

Mr. Morizumi snapped out of his coffee-themed reverie and nodded hurriedly at him.

"Are we going to my sister's place?"

"Yes."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Mr. Mori stopped grinding the beans and took a box from the refrigerator in the back kitchen.

It was a small lava chocolate cake made by Miyazawa Itsuki yesterday.

Mr. Mori handed the cake to Miyazawa Itsuki and stuffed a few more things into his hand.

These are foods such as Italian panna cotta, bread, toast, and fresh milk.

"Send these, and these, to Xiaoxi."

"...The store manager?"

Miyazawa Itsuki was somewhat taken aback.

Mr. Mori laughed heartily.

"Consider it a small token of my appreciation. It's nothing expensive, but I'm glad it makes Xiaoxi happy."

During the early days of Miyazawa Itsuki working at the cafe, she had a video call with Shiori from the hospital.

Therefore, the Mori couple also knew that he had a cute younger sister who was hospitalized for many years, and knew a little about Miyazawa Itsuki's family situation.

During the six months he worked there, he received a lot of care and support.

Miyazawa looked at the bulging food packaged in plastic bags.

"...Thank you, Mr. Morizumi."

His voice was sincere and genuine.

Mr. Mori waved his hand.

"The help that Ashu has brought to the shop cannot be compared to this amount of food. If we are too polite, it will make us feel distant."

"Furthermore, to Kyoko and me, Asuka, you are not only our employee but also our junior. Although we can't offer much help with your situation, this is still something we can do. Your acceptance is the greatest recognition you can give us."

"……Um."

Miyazawa Itsuki nodded slightly.

He didn't say anything more sentimental, but kept the kindness in his heart.

After thanking Mr. Morizumi again, Miyazawa Itsuki bid farewell to the manager and regular customers and left the cafe.

……

hospital.

Miyazawa Itsuki, having taken off his glasses, went to the floor where Shiori was located.

I checked the time; it was 7:30 in the morning.

In the past, Shiori Miyazawa would have already gotten up by this time.

However, it's possible that he might sleep a little longer occasionally.

Just as Miyazawa Itsuki was considering whether it would be better for him to wait outside until eight o'clock.

The ward door opened, and a nurse came out and faced him.

The nurse was startled at first, but when she saw who it was, her expression of surprise quickly turned into delight.

"...Oh, it's Mr. Miyazawa. Is he here to visit Shiori on Saturday?"

Miyazawa looked at the cute, round-faced nurse in front of him and searched his memory for the corresponding name.

He then flashed a friendly smile.

"Ms. Yagi, it's been a long time. Yes, the date of your visit has changed slightly this week."

Because he needed to wait for his work phone to arrive, Miyazawa Itsuki chose to visit his sister on Saturday and then go on a date with Naomi on Sunday.

Nurse Yagi opened the door for her.

"Mr. Miyazawa, please come in. You've come at the perfect time. Shiori has just finished washing up."

"Thanks."

After Miyazawa Itsuki entered the ward, the nurse gently closed the door.

In the ward, the girl sat obediently on the bed, her gaze fixed on the direction he had come from.

They probably heard Nurse Yagi and Itsuki talking and learned of their brother's arrival.

"Brother~"

When Miyazawa Shiori saw him, she gave him a sweet smile.

"Yes, Shiori."

Miyazawa Itsuki came to his sister's bedside and placed the plastic bag on the side cabinet.

Looking towards Shiori, there was a small mirror in front of her, as if her younger sister had just been braiding her hair in front of the mirror.

Miyazawa Shiori chuckled foolishly.

"I want to make my hair look nice before my older brother comes."

Miyazawa Itsuki smiled gently as he spoke.

"I'll do it."
