My Stepsister in Kyoto

"I feel like a heroine in a Korean drama." 

Sitting in the passenger seat, Akatsuki felt complex as she was inside this luxurious car. If she wasn't wrong, the name of this car would be a BMW XM. It was massive and dashing, yet it had this dangerous charm. Somehow, this car reminded her of him, which was why she was strangely comfortable, even if it was her first time on it.

Whenever they passed, she could see that some people would glance at them from time to time, which gave her a strange feeling. 

Fortunately, the people outside couldn't see the inside. 

Still, her situation reminded her of a Korean drama where the handsome and rich CEO would fall for a poor girl who loved to chow down their food like a pig, yet somehow, she appeared so beautiful in the eyes of the CEO that he would miraculously ignore all the beautiful women who approached him. 

Nevertheless, while Akatsuki wouldn't eat so rudely like that, she knew that she definitely wasn't right on the mind, especially when she had this dangerous urge to tie him up in her room so they could spend time together forever. 

Still, was he like that CEO in the Korean drama?

No, unlike the pure CEO in the Korean drama, this guy just felt lustful on her body.

Unlike the handsome and rich CEO, who would give his heart and everything to the heroine, this guy wished to make a harem, and he wouldn't reject the girls who approached him as long as they were healthy. 

"Hahaha..." Mizuto laughed when he realized that Akatsuki's situation was similar to those of heroines in the Korean drama. Still, her family's economic situation was much better. If there was a reason why she lived in that apartment building, it was because it was close to the train station and cheap. In an age where no one knew what their future would be, he knew this was the most appropriate choice as they wanted to have more savings, which showed how well her parents loved her. 

Still, they were also the reason why this girl became this kind of dangerous girl, which made him helpless. 

"But I think that you are like my sugar baby, and I am your sugar papa, though." 

Akatsuki pouted, but she didn't hit him since he was driving, and it wasn't her first time to call him a "Papa," so it didn't matter. Nevertheless, while she could see how smooth, experienced, and even handsome he was when he was driving, she knew it was dangerous to be distracted when driving, so she didn't make an exaggerated reaction. Instead, she asked something else. "...did you own this car?" 

"No way." While he owned this car, Mizuto didn't really want to admit it. "I just borrowed it from a friend. I am a minor. How can I buy a car without the permission of an adult?" 

"...that's true." Akatsuki thought for a moment and asked, "Then, when you are going on the motorcycle, you are going to bring your parents?" If so, then it might be hard for her to join. 

"No." Mizuto shook his head. "All one needs to buy a motorcycle is a driver's license and money." 

"If you say that, why did you go to the driving school?" 

"I just wanted to experience it once." 

"So, how is it?" 

"It's boring, but it is necessary. If you want to get a driver's license like me in the future, try to enter since, unlike me, you need it." 

"Okay." She didn't refute him since she knew that he was special, and she was quite normal. Still, somehow, this made him a bit uneasy, so she looked at his hand and asked, "Say..." 

"Hmm?" 

"Can we hold hands?" 

Hearing him chuckle again, Akatsuki pouted, but then she saw his hand firmly holding her small hand without looking away from the street. Still, this might be strange for her, yet she had to say, he was so handsome when he could calmly drive the car with a single hand and hold her hand with his other hand. 

Still, due to this, she was at ease and continued to talk as she held his hand with a smile. 

"Is the hotel on the Arashiyama?" 

"Yes." 

"Really?" 

"You seem excited." 

"Are we going to Hoshinoya?" 

If one wanted to say what the most famous hotel in the Arashiyama ward in Kyoto was, there was no doubt it was Hoshinoya, one of the most famous resort companies in this country. 

Mizuto couldn't deny that this hotel was popular, especially when one needed to take the ship to go to the hotel, making it appear like a secret hideout where one could have a little escape from the bustling city.

If it had been before, Akatsuki might not have said this, but she realized that what she had seen in him was only the tip of the iceberg, and there were many things that she didn't know about him, which made her curious. It was also due to this that she thought he would bring her to this hotel. 

"No, we don't go there. It's also troublesome to take the ship." 

"Then, where?" Akatsuki didn't feel disappointed, and she didn't really mind staying any place as long as she was with him. She was even okay with staying in the parking park and living in the car with him if he wished to. 

"It's close. We're going to arrive after this." 

Passing the Katsura River, which gleamed due to the light of the Togetsukyo bridge, there were still many people who seemed to enjoy this beautiful river, but as his car passed, naturally, it attracted many eyes as the black sapphire metallic color and the growl like beast noise from the car was just distinctive on this street. 

Situated next to the World Heritage-listed Tenryu-ji Temple and also only a short stroll away from the famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, a hotel was found. 

"Is this Suiran?" 

"You know?" 

"I know most of the famous hotels in Kyoto." 

"...why?" He felt weird. 

"I just have a lot of free time, okay?" Akatsuki definitely couldn't say that it was all due to his influence as he often looked at various buildings in Kyoto, so she also took an interest in the hotels and resorts in this city. 

"You won't have a lot of free time after this, though." 

Akatsuki blushed and lightly pinched his arm. "Pervert." 

Mizuto only smiled and parked the car smoothly before he went to the hotel with Akatsuki. As expected, the moment he entered, he was greeted by the staff politely and respectfully, then guided inside. 

While Akatsuki was still nervous, she was also curious, watching around occasionally while holding his hand as she had never thought that she would stay in this type of place. 

"Let's have dinner at the restaurant first. You haven't eaten yet, right?" 

"Um." 

Akatsuki was unfamiliar and didn't know anything, so she left everything to him, who seemed to be familiar. Nevertheless, as they entered the restaurant, there was no doubt that they attracted attention. 

Not because of their appearance but because of Mizuto's handsomeness. 

While the author tried to tone down his appearance, in reality, his appearance was at a catastrophic level. As long as one looked at him, they couldn't look away for a while. Fortunately, everyone who could stay in this place was all wealthy and wasn't stupid. Still, even if they were, he didn't mind as he could use the "Brainwashing" skill, but he had to say there were surely many beautiful mature women in this place. 

If it was before, he might be affected by their charm, but he had been baptized by Nami and Rinko, so he wasn't affected by them. 

Moreover, his focus should be on Akatsuki, who would be with him for the entire night. 

Being guided to the spot in the corner, the two sat while facing each other. If they turned, they could see the beautiful garden within the hotel. 

Staring at the garden in a daze, Akatsuki said with a sigh, "I really feel like your sugar baby somehow." Hearing him laugh, she pouted and lightly kicked his shin, yet she had to say his smile was really nice no matter how many times she saw it, and fortunately, they sat on the corner, or else he would smite all the women in this place. 

Still, Mizuto thought that he really didn't choose the wrong business to buy, and he thought that he should get a "Hotelier" for his 6th job. 

"Are you still nervous?" Mizuto asked. 

Akatsuki smiled awkwardly upon hearing his question since she had to say she wasn't used to this luxurious environment. 

"It's okay. You don't need to worry about anything. I am here. Just enjoy tonight. You and me. Tonight, I am yours." 

"...shouldn't those words be said by the female?" 

"That might be the case with the others, but it is different when it comes to me." 

Akatsuki couldn't deny it since she knew she was lucky that she could be with him. 

However, due to his words, the two of them enjoyed their luxurious dinner, Kaiseki style, in a positive mood. 

Frankly, Mizuto didn't like this type of dinner much, especially when he couldn't eat the raw fish, but fortunately, Akatsuki could eat it, so nothing was wasted. If there was a little trouble, it was the fact that she liked to feed him, so while it was a bit embarrassing, he also fed her since it felt wrong to be fed all the time. 

This might seem weird when he did feed Yume before, but that was because she was sick. However, this feeding action was done for flirting, which he wasn't used to as this wasn't his flirting style. 

Still watching him, feeling shy about feeding her, Akatsuki laughed, but she was happy by his willingness to try. 

His lips twitched. "Is this a payback?" 

"You are cute~!" 

"...." Mizuto. 

Yet, Akatsuki loved this feeling much since it felt like there were only two of them in this world. Only him and hers. She knew that this might not be the case in the future, but it didn't matter since no matter who he was with in the future, she definitely would still be with him. 

Then, at the end of the dinner, they stayed for a while before going to their room under the guidance of the staff and ready to have more fun in their own room.
