His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy-Chapter 664
Chapter 664: THE DILEMMA
When Misaki saw Emi, she was buzzing with energy. She was excited about her baking lesson, but that was not the entire reason for her happiness.
For the past week, her uncle had been around for breakfast. They had spent at least thirty minutes together in the morning. Unfortunately, he did not manage to return home early on most days.
But he was always at home when she woke up.
And the best part, he was around... On a Saturday!
Misaki did not think she had ever spent any quality time with her uncle on Saturdays.
She understood his absence was necessary because he was not involved in the business world. Moreover, most of his work concerned entertainment and hospitality. The weekends were the busiest, and he needed to be available most of the time. Google search 𝙛𝒓𝙚e𝚠𝐞𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝗲𝚕. c𝚘𝓶
Therefore, she did not expect him to be around in the morning.
.....
But he was there when she woke up later than usual. They had breakfast together, and he told her he already made arrangements for Teacher Shio to come to their house.
She could not stop her smile.
“Teacher Shio! I can’t believe you are here!” She said as she practically hopped on the spot.
Emi was amused by the excitement. She knew Misaki was an extroverted child, but she was always happy to see her little actions. The cuteness made Emi strengthen her belief that Misaki had a good spirit as long as it was nurtured and reinforced.
“I hope you are ready to work,” Emi said while placing a hand on the coloured hair gently.
“Of course! I got a new apron and a chef’s hat.” Misaki smiled with her small teeth showing.
Yagi looked at the two and was quite amused. He liked seeing how Emi was when she was in teacher mode. She was cute when she acted mature, even though she looked like she should be in school herself.
“Go on and get ready,” Yagi said to Misaki. “I need to talk to your teacher for a moment.”
As Yagi said those words, a small thought came to his mind. Soon, he would not be saying ‘your teacher’. Misaki would have an aunt. But as he looked at Emi, he could not help thinking that she did not look like anyone’s aunt.
“Ok! I need to change into something else anyway. Otherwise, Grandpa Minaduki might not let me into the kitchen.” Misaki said as she skipped away in a cute dress.
Emi smiled at the scene before she heard Yagi talk to her.
“Let us talk in my office,” Yagi said before indicating the direction of his office.
The two of them walked in tense silence.
Emi was a ball of tight tension as she followed Yagi to his office. She knew that she would need to explain exactly what happened outside to him. Even though he did not seem to mind the injuries she inflicted on his bodyguard, he had to be worried.
If she had seen the same scene, she would not trust the person with her children.
She needed to come up with a good explanation. If she did not, he would be right to take action. If he did, she might lose her job. She might not need her current position as a teacher, but she liked it. She felt like she still had a lot to do in school.
But she did not know if she should tell him the truth.
Her father decided to keep their life on Martial Island a secret. He did not want the attention that came from being associated with that place to follow them to Japan. His hope was for them to continue operating their businesses normally and live peaceful lives.
She promised not to share the information unless there was no other option.
Even if it was important for her to prove she was a fit teacher, she would not compromise her family for something so small. Further, she did not know Yagi well enough. Not to mention, he was involved in the underworld, and she knew the yakuza did not play around.
At the moment, everyone of importance was interested in the truth about Martial Island.
The international news, after the exposure of the island, was suppressed through various efforts from the important people in places of power. At the moment, a lot of commoners thought the whole thing was a hoax.
This was, of course, by design.
When the people from Martial Island and their allies tried to suppress the news about the incident at the Triennial Championships, they used social media to tell the masses that it was just a stunt. They managed to convince everyone it was an edited scene from an unreleased movie.
The excuse was terrible, but it was the root of most conspiracy theories.
As long as a few people thought they were the only ones who could see the truth, they could convince millions to do the same. Over the last few months, hardly anyone talked about Martial Island. And those who did...
Well, the talks could only be considered bar conversations.
Unfortunately, a lot of people in places of power knew that it was not a hoax. Martial Island was real, and it had an amazing history. One could not mention the potential benefits of getting along with someone from Martial Island.
After all, the destruction of Martial Island did not mean there was nothing of value.
Most powerful families still had a lot of pure rare material. If one could acquire some, they could have health, strength and long life. It might not be as great as those from the island who consumed the material and trained constantly, but it was a game changer for commoners.
Emi could not expose her family to the possibility of threats.
“You can sit.” Yagi’s amused voice broke her reverie.
Emi realised they were already in the office, and Yagi was behind his desk. She quickly sat down on the opposite end with a nervous smile. Suddenly, she felt like she was one of her naughty students waiting for a reprimand or punishment.
Yagi did not speak.
He looked at Emi with desire sprinkled with a hint of puzzlement.
‘Who is Shio Emi?’
