Takumi sat on the sofa across Tora. He was rather calm, but didn't show any other expression. When the door closed, seem Takumi was ready to talk about business. But Tora could head first.
"So, how do you escape the press?"
"I come here to talk about your company's future with mine. I suggest you to focus on the deal, please Mr. Igarashi"
"hoho... You're no fun at all..."
"So, I'd like to make a certain section of your company with Wallker-"
"enough. I don't need your long explanation. I'm sure those words aren't yours."
"...can you just shut the hell up and finish this?"
"it already is. I can't accept the deal-" said him lightly.
"huh?"
"i can tell... You just give me the deal as appreciation for my help some days ago, right?"
"...I won't deny that" he sighed.
"giving me that chance will have you no merit at all. I will come with something great that you will be the one who begged for deals."
"hmph, what a freak guy." Takumi looked satisfied. "Then, I'd like to offer a private business instead..."
"...hoo-" Tora looked interested.
"I'm going to buy a bankrupt hotel and renovate it. I need someone to manage it. I haven't divide the stocks to anyone, not even talk about it."
"I see... So, I just need to manage the hotel under your name. More stock holders will coming to me to give their stock since you're the one who own the hotel..."
"Right. it doesn't sound so bad, right?" Takumi put some paper on the table. "This is the location and price. But, all you need is operating the hotel."
"this project... Why do you give it to me?"
"because I couldn't find anyone other to trust."
"then, I have condition..."
"mention it all..."
"just one. You'll let me manage this as I wish..."
"...no problem. This project has nothing to do with Wallker group now. But... When the time come, within your success, Wallker will acknowledge your credibility."
"interesting. I'll take this and your words."
"guess we have the deal, Mr. Igarashi?" Takumi offered out his hand to Tora. With those handshake, they ended the meeting.
"how about a champagne for my guest?"
"...sorry but I'm intended to leave quickly. I don't have much time." Takumi loosen his tie and unbotton his suit.
"right, you're that busy now-"
"just the opposite... I don't have time for job now-" he stood and left Tora's office immediately.

Everything looked so clean after she worked it out. The apartment that Usui used to live when he was in high school just left dusty. Takumi said he wanted to stay a night there so Misaki went to clean it so someone can sleep without being asthma there.
She was quite worried about him going to Igarashi's company. That also his first try to make a cooperation deal by himself since he became the president of Wallker group.
Suddenly, the front door was opened and she could hear Takumi said. "I'm home-"
She immediately put the pillow she was holding and went to see him.
"Welcome! How was the...-!"
Takumi suddenly embraced Misaki when he saw her.
"...-sorry, did I hurt you?"
"e-eh...? No-... What happened?"
"it went well... Don't worry-"
"you're earlier than I thought... I didn't prepare anything for lunch-"
"about that... How about we go for a date?" asked Takumi.
"h-huh? Date?"
.
.
.
"wow..." Misaki looked amazed by sakura trees on the park. Takumi followed her with all the stuff. He suggested to go for Hanami with her. So they bought some food and drinks to enjoy Hanami.
"...this is refreshing-" He sat on the nearest bench. Misaki also sat next to him.
"how's home? I bet you pay some maids to do cleaning." said Misaki so sudden.
"I missed you being at home..."
"...hmm-"
"but when you're home, there will be an extra person-" he bend his body and held Misaki's belly. "right, little buddy?"
"... Yeah-" Misaki show a very gentle expression. Soon they will become mom and dad. Very soon.
"oh, i forgot the coffee... Are you fine here alone?"
"i'm not a kid... Just go get the cofee already-"
"okay, stay here... Grab your phone-"
"...yes, sir"
There were many people enjoying Hanami as well under the trees. Misaki just watching the cherry blossom petal dancing on the air. But looking at it made her felt sad instead. Takumi soon would be back to London and left her again there all alone.
"Misa?!" Takumi came back from buying a coffee and he found Misaki shed some tears.
"...-huh?" she didn't realized that she cried while looking above.
"What happened? Did you hurt somewhere?" asked Takumi, he looked so worried.
"uh-Sorry... it's nothing-really..." Misaki tried to wipe it all.
"...Misaki, I'll leave tomorrow... so if you have something to tell, tell me everything now"
"I didn't know, too!" Misaki shouted. "I just wondering if you're going again!"
"look..." He wiped her face that already so red and swollen. "If you told me to come, I'll come to you no matter what-"
"...of course that's impossible-"
"just give me news everyday..."
"even I didn't, you'll call, right?"
"Well, that means you already know me" he smiled and patted her head gently.
They talked about many things but mostly Takumi just listening. When Misaki realied she was the only one who was talking, she immediately stopped and took a drink. Everytime she did that, Takumi teased her pretty badly.
It might be their last date before they had the new member of family among them
