My Stepsister in Kyoto 97 To make those of you who care happy

This wasn't the first time Reina and Akatsuki came to his house, but even so, Mizuto felt a bit weird, especially when a middle-aged man who was supposed to be Reina's father was staring at him.

It was easy to tell that Reina's father doted on her, and it was also because of this that he sent her to his house.

"Dad, see you tomorrow."

"Um, see you tomorrow."

While Reina's father was a bit helpless since he didn't expect Mizuto to be present in this study group, he also couldn't say much since it was Mizuto's house and Mizuto's parents were also present along with Yume, so nothing was going to happen, right?

Moreover, Reina's father could tell that Mizuto seemed like an upright and serious young man, so there was nothing to worry about.

Yes, really, there was nothing to worry about.

"Your father is scary..." Mizuto was speechless since Reina's father had been glaring at him dangerously, which made him want to complain since he had never done anything to Reina.

"He is just a little protective..." Reina was also helpless toward her father, but while there was nothing strange between her and Mizuto, she knew that her father's aggressiveness was simply unreasonable, so she apologized. "I am sorry for my father."

"It's okay. I think it is normal."

If he had a daughter in the future, he also wouldn't be able to relax if they stayed in the same house as a healthy teenager like him. Nothing might have happened between them, but it couldn't be denied that he felt lust toward Reina.

Well, he wasn't going to say anything, though.

Nevertheless, the presence of Akatsuki and Reina was welcomed by Yuni and Mineaki. They didn't mind when the two came and decided to sleep in, especially when their purpose for coming was for the study group.

"It's good for you all to study like this."

"Yeah, it's great to know that all of you are diligent."

Frankly, everyone thought that this study group would be noisy and all of them would play around, yet unexpectedly, everyone focused on their study and learning together.

Whether it was Yume, Akatsuki, or Reina, all of them were working hard and somehow enjoyed their study, as it felt like they could understand all the knowledge they learned faster.

It was like when one was playing an MMORPG game and saw their experience jump out from time to time, raising their levels to an incredible speed. Their feelings were like that since somehow they felt like they could feel their improvements.

Moreover, Mizuto was good at teaching!

Yet, Mizuto wasn't surprised by this since he knew that it was all due to the passive skill of the "Student" job, the "Study Group" skill.

As long as everyone studied together with him, their learning ability would be even better.

Still, was anyone expecting a perverted scene?

No way!

They were all focused on learning, especially when each of them had their own goals.

Reina and Akatsuki wish to get into the top 10, and Yume also wishes to take the throne of the rank one from him.

Nevertheless, as they studied hard, their energy was also quickly consumed, and they stopped eating the dinner Yuni had cooked.

"Come on! Let's eat! You should eat a lot and build your energy!"

Yuni was happy since the house was full of vitality and lively.

If it was before, Akatsuki and Reina might have hesitated, but they were so hungry now, so after thanking Yuni, they started to eat dinner. Still, during the dinner, they talked about many things, especially their trip plan.

"But are you really going to Osaka by motorcycle?"

"Yes."

"Isn't it dangerous?"

"It's not. It's just an hour's travel. You don't need to worry, Yuni-san."

As he had made up his decision and Mineaki also didn't have any opinions, Yuni felt helpless, feeling quite worried about the single trip taken by her stepson. Yet, there was nothing that she could do, and she only asked him to be careful and contact them. "Please tell us when you have arrived, okay? Also, where are you going to stay?"

"A hotel."

"I mean... which hotel?"

Somehow, this question attracted Yume, Akatsuki, and Reina's attention.

"If I am not wrong, it should be Conrad Osaka."

"Conrad Osaka?"

The name of the hotel was somewhat familiar, but they weren't sure, so they decided to check it from their smartphones.

Mizuto bought the building where Conrad Osaka was located, so naturally, he was going to stay in this hotel, or rather, he owned a penthouse there. Nevertheless, his answer puts everyone at a loss for words, especially when they check the hotel from their smartphones.

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't that a five-star hotel?"

"A night costs at least 60,000 yen!"

"...Mizuto, did you hide something from us again?"

Yume, Akatsuki, and Reina aside, Mineaki and Yuni were speechless by Mizuto's extravagant spending, and this also made them realize that there must be something that their son had been hiding, especially when he dared to spend a day in such a place.

Still, facing their question, like before, Mizuto used an excuse that he was working part-time at the investment firm, the Dipper.

"Here is my research."

"..." 2x

Yuni and Mineaki were silent as they read Mizuto's thick investment reports. It was full of details, clearly written professionally, and somehow also easy to understand, which even a layman like them could understand, but they also felt at a loss due to this.

"So... your trip to Osaka is also due for work?"

"Yes."

"...." 2x

What should they say at this moment?

Still, hearing Mizuto was able to get a trip to Ise-Shima with Yume, Reina, and Akatsuki, Mineaki and Yuni fell in silence again.

Mineaki looked at Mizuto, who went on a trip alone with three beautiful girls, and it made him sigh, thinking that his son had grown up.

However, Yuni felt jealous!

"How nice... I also want to go on a trip to the luxury hotel in Ise-Shima, too..."

As Yuni let out a sigh, Mineaki also let out a sigh since, to make his new wife happy, he needed to spend a lot of money.

Mizuto was helpless, then said, "If you want, I can ask you for a honeymoon trip, you know?"

"Eh?" 2x

Yuni and Mineaki were startled by Mizuto's words.

"You two haven't been on the honeymoon, right? If you want, I can get you a trip for free."

"...." 2x

"...really?" 2x

"Yeah." Mizuto nodded. "We have acquired Aman Resorts and also Prince Hotels; as long as it is those two hotels, I can do something about it."

Aman Resorts aside, he had also acquired Prince Hotels.

Unlike Aman Resorts, which are luxury five-star hotels, Prince Hotels are deluxe hotels that are budget-friendly yet still premium. There was also one five-star hotel within the Prince Hotels, but most of its hotels were about three- and four-star hotels. Still, as he owned all of the hotels of this brand, he had changed all of them into four-star hotels as it was practically free for him to renovate those properties.

Besides a hotel, it also has several golf courses, ski resorts, and other leisure facilities in Japan and abroad.

Nevertheless, this is one of the famous brands in this country, and it also has many properties in various cities in Japan, which was convenient for him if he wanted to go on a business trip around the country.

Frankly, Mizuto thought that he might as well put his focus on luxury hotels, but he felt like having a luxurious budget, budget-friendly hotel wasn't bad, especially when he had the "Hotelier" job.

After all, he had chosen this job; wouldn't it be wasteful if he didn't use it well?

Still, facing Mizuto's kindness, Mineaki and Yuni would be lying if they didn't feel awkward. Still, with how sincere he was, they decided to accept his kindness while discussing where they would go for their honeymoon as the "Golden Week" was nearby, and they could use that time to go.

Watching their excited and happy faces, Mizuto was a little helpless, yet also smiled and happy, thinking that it was good that he had decided to do the "Hotelier" job first since that way, he could make his parents happy.

This was probably the reason why one worked hard.

To see someone they cared about becoming happy.

Yet, watching his smile, whether Yume, Akatsuki, or Reina couldn't look away.

Sorry, only one, te-he~!

By the way, I have never asked this before, but do you want the business part more?

I just got a review from a reader who wished to see more about his business.

This is a romance and ecchi story, so while there are parts where I will write about his business, it won't be much, though.

Nevertheless, his business started with hotels, high-rise buildings, and restaurants before slowly growing to something more. 

Oh, right, I might not mention it, but the story is set in 2019, one year before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics!

Naturally, there won't be a COVID, okay?
