"You mean we're going camping again?"

At the dinner table, Asakawa Yu ate while listening to Miyano Akemi talk. When she heard that they were going to go camping together again, the corner of Asakawa Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

"Yes, Ai came to see me today. She said she was worried that no one could control those kids. We happen to be free in a few days, so I was thinking of going out with them for a bit. But if you, boss..."

Miyano Akemi spoke softer and softer, afraid that making a decision on her own would disrupt Asakawa Yu's plans.

Seeing Miyano Akemi's cautious demeanor, Asakawa Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"You, you can decide on such a small matter yourself. You don't need my approval for everything, am I right? Asaba Coffee Shop owner."

The...boss lady?!

As expected, when she heard Asakawa Yu address her that way, Miyano Akemi's face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and even her breathing became a little rapid.

"I, I, boss, you..."

Akemi Miyano stammered, forgetting even what she was going to say at the beginning.

But it's also obvious that the happy expression on Akemi Miyano's face couldn't be faked.

Although they are now in a real boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, she never dared to dream of receiving Asakawa Yu's affirmation.

"By the way, boss, don't you find this strange?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing that Miyano Akemi, who had just been laughing foolishly, suddenly paused, Asakawa Yu thought she was about to reveal some important information that he hadn't realized. But soon, he realized how ridiculous his idea was.

"It's just a form of address, a form of address!"

“Look, we should be considered... boyfriend and girlfriend now, right? But I still call you boss, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard you call me by my name.”

When talking about boyfriends and girlfriends, Akemi Miyano was a little shy, but she quickly adapted.

"Oh, I see. It seems that's really the case."

Asakawa Yu stroked his chin, carefully recalling his previous interactions with Miyano Akemi. It seemed that... he had never really thought about this issue before.

"Then...Mingmei?"

!!!

When Miyano Akemi heard Asakawa Yu address her that way, she trembled slightly and then lowered her head shyly. After a while, Asakawa Yu only heard a response as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Mmm... mmm!"

"It seems you're not as skilled as I thought." Asakawa Yu chuckled, looking at Miyano Akemi's ostrich-like posture, finding it rather amusing.

"I...this is the first time I've ever said this to someone! Before...I've never been like this before..."

"Shh!"

Asakawa Yu extended her index finger and pressed it against Miyano Akemi's lips, signaling her not to continue.

“I know everything. You really don’t need to be so nervous. I chose you because I trust you. It has nothing to do with your past. You are you, the Miyano Akemi that I acknowledge, understand?”

Yes, in fact, Akemi Miyano lacks self-confidence. From the moment she was confessed to by Yu Asakawa, she has been in a state of anxiety and insecurity.

She was afraid that all of this would be like a bubble, bursting at the slightest touch.

Asakawa Yu is too perfect. Although it is undeniable that Asakawa Yu may have some flaws, Miyano Akemi likes him very much, really likes him.

I love his good looks, I love his gentleness towards her, I love his mystery...

Most importantly, he appeared before her during her most difficult and agonizing time, so mysteriously, so very mysteriously…

He appeared mysteriously and inexplicably to save her, then arranged for the sisters to meet, and granted her almost every request. These memories seeped into Miyano Akemi's heart, making her unable to extricate herself.

However, it was this very person who fell in love with a woman with a terrible past. It was precisely because of this that she was afraid of ruining her image in Asakawa Yu's heart, and that's why she always lived cautiously in front of him.

But Asakawa Yu realized that he didn't want Miyano Akemi to continue like this. He wanted her to know that he liked her simply because she was her, and not because of anything external, and nothing else.

A gentle voice reached Mingmei's ears. Before Mingmei could react, a pair of hands wrapped around her from the front, holding his wife tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to lock her body tightly in his embrace and never separate them again.

"So you don't need to live so cautiously. With me, you just need to be yourself, and leave the rest to me."

Asakawa Yu whispered in her ear, sensing Akemi's bewilderment. Asakawa Yu didn't say anything more and just held her in his arms.

After an unknown period of silence, Akemi, whose mind had completely shut down, finally came to her senses. She stiffly pulled away from Asakawa Yu's embrace, not even daring to look up at him.

"Boss, you..."

"Now you understand, right? As for the way you addressed me, I think it's fine to keep it as it is. Otherwise, wouldn't it feel a little strange to have you call me by my name?"

Seeing that Asakawa Yu had changed the subject in time, Miyano Akemi relaxed. Most importantly, the thorn in her heart had lessened considerably after Asakawa Yu's words.

"That's true. After all, I'm used to calling you 'boss,' and it feels a bit strange to suddenly ask me to call you by your name. In that case, let's just continue like this."

It's clear that Akemi Miyano's mood has improved considerably.

"However, I can only call you by your name at home for now, since we can't call you by your name outside..."

That's true. The name Miyano Akemi can't be exposed casually now. There might have been an organization member nearby at that time. It's always better to be cautious.

“In that case, boss, could you call him again?” Miyano Akemi said abruptly.

Although she didn't know why she said that, Asakawa Yu still followed her wishes, "Akami?"

"Ok!"

"boss."

"What's wrong?"

Akemi Miyano tilted her head slightly. "Boss?"

As if she had thought of something, Asakawa Yu answered softly:

"I'm here."
