Chapter 4: The First… - Part 6-10

Soji: “And how long do you intend to stand?”
Yuri: “Huh? Oh…”
Soji: “Have a seat wherever you like. This is your home from now on.”
Yuri : “Yeah… home. I still have more questions.”
Soji: “You have more questions?”
Yuri: “Do you think it looks like you are going to be chosen as the successor?”
Soji: “If everything unfolds as expected. As far as ability, I’m the best.”
Yuri: “How humble…”
Soji: “What? It’s true. But if everything always went smoothly, there would never be a conflict over the inheritance in the first place. It is precisely because I am married and have thrown my hat in the race to be next in line that I will be targeted.”
Yuri: “Targeted?”
Soji: “You know me so well. That’s why Masumi called our family troublesome. The race for the successor, factions and feuds between relatives… things that only take place in a movie regularly happen in this family. If I had to guess, I’d say Masumi and I aren’t the only candidates to become the successor. I think there will be more in the future.”
Yuri: : “Oh really?”
Soji: “I think so. Masumi is cunning so I never know what to expect from him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to recommend someone for the job that he could control easily.”
Yuri: “Sounds like a tough situation, Soji.”
Soji: “Tough?”
Yuri: “You are putting yourself in a difficult situation just to make sure the company grows.”
Soji: “Do you… understand that I’m using you? You are not in a position to worry about me.”
Yuri: “But… you paid off my debt… I do owe you something…”
Soji: “You are a strange one. You should go to bed now.”
Yuri: “Huh? But…”
Soji: “It’s your reward, slave.”
Yuri: “…Ok.” (…Soji might not be so scary after all)
                What I said to Soji’s grandfather that wasn’t a lie. Maybe it’s because of the shocking way we met. Or the way he tried to held me during the encounter with Masumi…
Or maybe it’s hard exterior and warm heart… He might not be such a bad person.
Yuri: (Wow, I fall for anything…)
I was tired both physically and mentally, so I lie down on the comfortable, queen-sized bed and fall asleep immediately.
                I woke up in the middle of the night and felt warmth on my back.
Yuri: (Huh…? I can’t move. I feel like something is right up against me…)
                Because it was my first day in that room and because I didn’t know where the light switches were, I hadn’t turned off all the lights and slept with a few on. Because of that I can see just a small part of the room. And… I can see the person sleeping beside me.
Yuri: “…Soji?”
                I had felt Soji’s heat on my back. surprised, I moved and heard Soji’s voice close to my ear.
Soji: “Could you quit moving?”
Yuri: “I-I…! Why are you sleeping here?!”
Soji: “We’re married… we’re supposed to… sleep together.”
Yuri: “Fine but why are you hugging me…”
Soji: “You’re… the same size… as a body… pillow.”
Yuri: “A body pillow?!”
Soji: “You’re so warm… fluffy… good slave…”
