Chapter 130: Yumi-chan’s New Beginning

Coming out of the warm house and being struck by the chilly evening air, Kitahara finally realized just how dreamlike everything that had happened earlier had been.

Life really was unpredictable!

Who could have imagined that an ordinary day would take such an unexpected turn? Sometimes, the most surprising developments came when a person least expected them. Even Kitahara, who had already experienced plenty of extraordinary things since obtaining the system, couldn’t help feeling that life had become increasingly interesting.

After letting out a quiet sigh, he gave a wry smile and made his way home.

Once inside, Kitahara settled down and began thinking about his future arrangements with Aso Ai. Their recent encounter had left a rather deep impression on him, and he found himself looking forward to seeing her again.

Compared with the other women around him, she possessed the fresh, tender ripeness of a girl who had just reached adulthood, like Matsuda Yumi — that innocent bloom of youth that made a man’s heart race. Yet her body had already developed to its absolute limit, resembling the mature perfection of Hayami Rina.

Of course, her greatest advantage lay in her extraordinarily ample breasts and her absolute, unquestioning submission — a submission that was not born of gratitude like Hayami Rina’s, nor of admiration like Matsuda Yumi’s, but rather purchased by his wealth.

And this very fact made his excitement burn all the more intensely. The cold transaction of it, the way money could command such devotion, stirred something thrilling within him.

After all, human relationships were rarely as straightforward as they appeared on the surface.

...

By evening, Kitahara suddenly found himself missing Yumi-chan.

He hadn’t seen the cheerful young woman for several days, and although they had exchanged a brief phone call during that time, it wasn’t quite the same as meeting her in person.

Since he happened to have some free time, he decided to open the system’s livestream and check what she was doing.

The image appeared almost immediately.

It showed a small, somewhat cramped room. Matsuda Yumi was currently busy packing her belongings, carefully folding her clothes before placing them inside an open suitcase.

Several neatly arranged bundles had already been placed in one corner of the room. A few cardboard boxes were stacked beside the wall, while some smaller personal belongings remained scattered across the floor.

It looked like she was preparing to move!

Kitahara raised his eyebrows slightly.

Counting the days, he hadn’t seen Yumi for two or three days. During that time, they had only managed to speak briefly over the phone. He hadn’t expected her to have already started preparing for the move.

She certainly didn’t waste any time.

On the screen, Matsuda Yumi was wearing a comfortable set of light blue loungewear. Her long black hair fell naturally over her shoulders and down her back, occasionally swaying whenever she moved.

The soft moonlight coming through the window illuminated the little room, giving the scene a peaceful atmosphere.

Yumi worked with considerable enthusiasm. She would occasionally pause to check whether she had forgotten anything before continuing to organize her belongings.

Sometimes, she would pick up an item, examine it for a moment, and smile to herself before carefully putting it away.

Her movements were light and energetic, reflecting her naturally cheerful personality.

Compared with the somewhat reserved young woman Kitahara had first met, the current Yumi seemed noticeably more relaxed and confident.

Love and the security she had gained from their relationship had brought out a brighter side of her personality.

Her delicate features appeared especially lively whenever she smiled. Even while doing something as ordinary as packing clothes, she seemed to radiate an infectious sense of happiness.

Kitahara watched the livestream for a while, gradually losing himself in his thoughts.

Memories of their previous encounters began resurfacing in his mind.

He remembered her enthusiastic greetings, the way she would occasionally become embarrassed when he teased her, and her habit of calling him Senpai with that particularly cheerful tone.

He could almost hear her familiar laughter.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

He really did miss that sweet girl.

Unfortunately, the past few days had been rather busy. Between his various responsibilities and other arrangements, he hadn’t found a suitable opportunity to visit her.

Still, there was no reason he couldn’t at least give her a call.

With that thought, Kitahara reached for the phone on his study desk and found Yumi’s number.

He dialed.

The call connected after a short wait.

However, the person who answered wasn’t Matsuda Yumi herself.

It was her father, Matsuda Hongo.

"Hello?"

"Uncle Matsuda, it’s Kitahara."

"Oh! Kitahara-kun! What a pleasant surprise. How have you been?"

"I’m doing well. Is Yumi-chan around?"

"She’s upstairs. Hold on a moment. I’ll call her for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Matsuda."

After exchanging a few polite words, Matsuda Hongo put down the phone and called his daughter.

Kitahara, meanwhile, had no intention of closing the livestream. He continued watching the screen while waiting for Yumi to appear.

A few moments later, he saw her react to her father’s voice.

"Yumi! Kitahara-kun is calling!"

The moment she heard those words, Yumi’s expression changed.

"Eh?! Senpai?!"

Her eyes immediately brightened, and she couldn’t help letting out a delighted cheer.

She quickly put down the clothes she had been folding, checked that everything was in order, and hurried toward the door.

Her light footsteps echoed through the hallway as she practically skipped downstairs.

Matsuda Hongo watched his daughter rush toward the phone with an amused expression.

It seemed that whenever Kitahara called, she could hardly contain her excitement.

"Moshi moshi! Senpai? Is that you?"

Yumi’s cheerful voice immediately came through the receiver.

"Yes, it’s me. What are you doing, Yumi-chan?"

Kitahara asked despite already knowing the answer from the livestream.

"I’m packing my clothes!"

Yumi sounded particularly excited.

"I’m planning to take advantage of the weekend to move into the house you gave me. I’ve already packed quite a lot of things, but there’s still plenty left to organize!"

"You’re moving this weekend?"

"That’s right! I’ve been looking forward to it!"

She paused briefly before continuing.

"By the way, Senpai, what about you? What are you doing right now? How come you suddenly thought of calling me?"

"Of course, it’s because I was missing my cute Yumi-chan."

Kitahara answered casually.

"That’s why I decided to give you a call. What about you? Did you miss me?"

"I did!"

Yumi answered without the slightest hesitation.

"I missed you every single second!"

Her enthusiastic response made Kitahara chuckle.

Not far away, Matsuda Hongo had originally intended to stay nearby and listen to their conversation. However, after hearing just a few exchanges, he began feeling rather uncomfortable.

Sigh.

Young people nowadays really had no sense of reserve.

His daughter had become so straightforward that she didn’t even bother hiding her affection anymore.

Shaking his head, Matsuda Hongo quietly moved farther away, leaving the two of them to continue their conversation.

Meanwhile, Kitahara leaned back in his chair.

"By the way, Yumi-chan, I have something to tell you."

"What is it, Senpai?"

"I have some business obligations this weekend, and I’ll need to travel quite far. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to help you move into your new house."

"Eh? Really?"

"Yes. I probably won’t have an opportunity to meet you for a little while either."

Kitahara’s tone carried a hint of apology.

"But don’t worry. I’ll make it up to you once I get back. When everything is settled, I’ll bring Rina-nee-san over to your new place. We can have a proper gathering together."

"Yay! Really?!"

Yumi immediately became excited again.

"That sounds wonderful! Having everyone together will make the new house feel much warmer and livelier!"

She seemed to imagine the scene already, and her voice became increasingly cheerful.

"Senpai, don’t worry about me. Just concentrate on your business. I can handle the move myself!"

"Are you sure? Moving can be quite troublesome."

"It’s fine! I’ve already prepared most of my things. Besides, I’m really looking forward to living there."

After a brief pause, Yumi added enthusiastically:

"Speaking of which, Senpai, I really like Rina-nee-san. She’s such a gentle and kind person. She’s also incredibly capable. Compared with her, I still have so much to learn!"

"Haha, as long as you two get along, that’s all that matters."

Kitahara was pleased to hear that.

He had always hoped the women around him would be able to interact comfortably rather than feel awkward whenever they met. Having Yumi and Rina develop a good relationship would certainly make future gatherings much easier.

"Actually, there’s something else I wanted to tell you."

"Something else?"

"That’s right. Over the past few days, I’ve found another helper for you. She’s a cute voice actress. I think you two will get along quite well, so I’ll arrange an opportunity for you to meet sometime."

"A voice actress?!"

Yumi’s curiosity was immediately piqued.

"Sugoi! Senpai, you’re amazing! You even managed to find someone like that!"
