The week had gone by rather boorish for Furo's liking, his tutor was boring, and always tried to get him to talk, much so to his displeasure, and even when he spoke of his dislikes about his own tutor, the man would simply smiles at him as if seeing him mad was amusing. Furo wasn't a person to be taken lightly, not with his experience, he'll put this idiot in his place soon.

'I'll get rid of him as well.' He thought with distaste, until he thought of something brilliant, Sekimoto is very good looking, in fact, his good looks would even be said to surpass the male lead in Furo's eyes. Sekimoto is a well suitor for his sister, all he needed to do is find out about his back ground, through hook or through crook.

But then again he hated doing work now that he has a will of his own, so he simply called up his system.

Find out everything you have on this Sekimoto Mikuni for me. He commanded and right as he finished his sentence, not a single second later a reply was heard loud and clear.

[Yes my Lord.]

The system had left and Furo laid back, watching the birds fly away. It was a beautiful evening, the clouds floated their merry way, the birds were finishing the hunting. The cool breeze felt nice on his skin, letting a nice chill run down his back.

"Mr. Kenshi, we aren't finished yet." Sekimoto spoke up with a sigh at his stubborn student. "How about we take a break?"

"Yes, that would be greatly appreciated." Furo spoke with a tired tone, his golden eyes were now staring in interest at his tutor.

"Is there something on your mind?" Sekimoto spoke as he drank at the glass of lemonade grangran had made for them.

"What do you do for a living?" He blurted out, he didn't really care if Sekimoto said the truth, either way he was going to find out from the system. He wondered though, he was lazy to speak yet still spoke, why?

"I'm the CEO to the most prestigious company named Garama co." He replied with astonishing results, he didn't know why but he wanted to impress this little student of his that didn't show much emotion.

"That's it?" Furo raised a brow with a small frown. "You'll have to do then." He said with an unimpressed look. "This lecture is over, I'm tired."

He left Sekimoto Mikuni with a yawn and entered his room, pondering about his tutor deeply. Roma Hoku is currently CEO of the worlds second most powerful company named Hoku co, the first is Garama co which is still standing stronger than ever, if he was correct then that meant his sister will be both wealthy and protected if she marries Sekimoto.

"Yeah, you'll have to do." Furo mumbled under his breath.

Sekimoto was still sitting on the outside hallway, his figure frozen ever since Furo left him there after his strange confession. Or so he thought it was a confessions, even if they had only meet a week ago. He wasn't so sure what he felt for this cute student of his, all he knew is that he wasn't allowed to touch, not until next year that is, when cute little Furo turned eighteen. His dark blue eyes seemed to think too deeply about something, something that would have Furo blushing like mad, even with his experience.

"Strange." He simply said as his figure finally relaxed, looking back to the door in which Furo had entered. "Accepted." Then he left.

=⁠_⁠=

For the next couple of weeks the two had come to an understanding with each other. Although one was sure that the other had confessed, the other has been testing the CEO if he was husband material. It was odd random questions and humms that he would make during their time both studying and teaching, it would always bring amusement to Sekimoto, he would always answer truthfully to the bizarre questions;

Are you single.

Yes.

How much money do you make.

A lot.

Are you protective of your lovers.

I believe I am.

How tall are you.

7'2

What's your current education, never mind that doesn't matter. If you were to be put in a situation where you have to choose money or your lover what would you choose.

Lover.

What's you're ideal date.

Whatever my lover wants.

Would you get rid of the people that wrong your lover?

Yes.

Hn.

But one question that he had never asked this hidden boss was the fact that why he was teaching a seventeen year old child with a mind set of a seven year old? Whatever it was, it was in Furo's favor, to have this CEO as his brother in law would set his future solid.

The questions or more like interrogation went on through the six hours and three days they would have together.

Why three days?

Because of Furo's amazing learning ability, and with that ability Sekimoto had loaded him with pounds of homework.

In return Furo would occasionally curse out Sekimoto in front of him or not, either way he didn't care which cause incredible joy in the tutor.

[My Lord.] The system spoke up with its usual monotone voice.

'What did you find out.' Furo thought to the system, he folded and opened his index finger, revealing the system as he flipped through his homework.

[Sekimoto Mikuni, 24 years old, father and mother both diseased, leaving him to inherit the company at a young age of fifteen. He, as far as I could dig up, has never touched any other person physically. He spends his time reading out side of his private condo in his free time, and would spend the rest of his time working. He likes well done eggs and his favorite ice cream is chocolate... The reason why he's taken up this odd job was because back in his college days he had used his free time to tutor other students when he was fourteen and had put flyers everywhere. The number was of his personal phone and had thought there was no more flyers up after years had passed. He took it up seeing as he was getting bored... that is all my Lord.]

'Then that means he's wasting time on teaching an orphan school materials instead of running a company?' Furo thought is disbelief.

[More or less my Lord, he had nothing else to do, all of his work has been done for the next three months, and has no more work, instead of spending it alone in his vacation home at the Bahamas he decided to accept the tutoring position from a call he had suddenly received during the end of his workout routine.]

'That still doesn't make sense, does he have any ulterior motives?'

[From what I was able to find out, he doesn't have any I'll intentions, and he's never been in any kind of scandals or trouble.]

'I guess he's just a weirdo then' Furo finally declared and pushed it to the back of his mind.

During his break time without Sekimoto, he was able to spend time with his older sister when she had free time as well. It was the little subtle movements he made around the male lead that was noted by his sister, and little by little her distance towards the male lead grew as the dates went on.

Whatever the male lead would do, Mina won't even hold his hand anymore, he tried to give her gifts and try to go on dates, but whatever he tried Mina saw it as him trying to buy her.

"Big sister." Furo asked one day as they were currently taking a day off from school work and spending some sibling quality time together.

"Yes?" Mina looked over to her handsome little brother who was filling in the malnutrition splendidly.

They were currently out at the strip mall, an outside mall where multiple chains of different stores were spread apart selling all kinds of things from selling vacuums to selling puppies or even food.

"What do you see in Mr. Hoku." He asked, making sure that when he spoke the same to have a bit of fright in his eyes.

"He's just a friend, he on his own made me his girlfriend, I didn't reject because he wasn't doing anything inappropriate or getting in my way of my study, but recently..." She looked unsure, gaining a small grin from Furo internally. "I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Furo tilted his head to the side in wonder.

"The day he had called me when you had fainted." Mina noted the visible flinch from her brother, making him recall something horrible as his face became even more pale, sickly pale.

"I don't know- I was- it was the air." He stuttered as he tried to explain a nervous laugh escaping his lips.

"Please tell me the truth, what happened?" She urged on, minutes seemed to pass like hours, until Furo was ready to say what had happened on that fateful day.

"He choked me." His voice was soft, and the corner of his eyes threatening to let loose tears he was so hard in trying to keep in.

"What." Mina said in a whisper, hearing clear as day even if he was whispering, the busy streets around her had become nonexistence as she heard his voice.

Her heart clenched, she had let her brother close to a man that she herself didn't know too personally since he didn't talk about himself and didn't look like a bad guy. One of the many reason as to why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

To think her little brother had tried to not show his terrified look every time they had all gone out to hang out together.

She was naive, she had thought she knew Roma, he was a nice man when he was around her...

Only when he was around her.

But what did he do when she wasn't around?

Gosh she was such an idiot, just when everything seemed to be going so well, something always has to happen and mess everything up. This time it was shady man who presented himself as if he was perfect in every way.

But no one is perfect.

"Why would he do that?" Mina said as the two sat down in a bench, somewhere where there won't be anyone to hear.

"I don't- I don't know, one moment I was- I was talking about how much fun we had together and-and-and the next his hand was wrapped around my throat, cutting off my air supply. He- he threatened me to stay away- away from you. That once I turn eighteen he'll make- make me disappear." He whimpered, his body trembling, his eyes shut close, he looked like he wanted to disappear.

He took out his phone and played a recording, it was the recording that had a sentence recorded when he was having dinner with Roma.

With a trembling finger he pressed play. "I can get rid of you and make it look like an accident." Roma's voice rang out through the recording, it was laced with venom and rage, a little voice modification always did the trick here, as long as he had a phrase of the voice from the original person, it was a piece of cake.

"Oh my God!" Mina herself was sobbing and clenched her brothers body to her's, she couldn't believe that she knew such a horrible monster. "Don't worry, he won't come near us ever again, I promise you that!" Mina cried with her innocent brother. How could someone be so despicable?

After a couple of minutes the two pulled apart and decided to make this day an indoors day, they headed back to their grandparents home.

As they walked Furo called out to the system. 'Where's the the male lead now?'

[Currently unable to understand why Mina is ignoring him, and placing all the blame on you my Lord.] The system replied readily.

'Perfect, and the Villain? Where?'

[The villain is currently following both my Lord and female lead, trying to find the perfect opportunity to strike.]

'Good, just make sure he doesn't get too close.' During the week he had the system monitor the villain ever since he left the hospital.
