Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Yuuki and Utaha were in the living room of this inn.

Ayumi who was a ghost floating around them while looking at them curiously.

Chitose was in the kitchen to prepare dinner for all of them.

"Why don't you sit down?" Utaha asked since she was quite disturbed by this ghost's gaze.

"I don't have legs to sit down," Ayumi answered.

"....." Utaha wasn't sure what to say at this moment.

Ayumi looked at them and asked, "I want to ask a question, can I?"

"Sure," Yuuki answered.

"No," Utaha answered.

"..."

"Are both of you in a relationship?" Ayumi asked.

"....." Utaha looked at the ghost and knew that this ghost might be interested in Yuuki. "Yuuki doesn't have an interest in ghosts."

"I also don't have an interest in him!" Ayumi said with blush hurriedly.

"Oh..." Utaha looked at Ayumi with an intriguing expression and answered Ayumi's question earlier, "We have been in a relationship."

Ayumi twitched her lips when she confirmed their relationship. She thought for a while and looked at Utaha from up and down. She had to admit this girl was beautiful and her long black hair was very charming. "Damn, you're beautiful!"

"Thank you," Utaha answered.

"Everyone the food is ready," Chitose said while bringing the dinner to the table in the living room.

"It seems very good," Yuuki said.

"Thank you," Chitose said with a smile.

Utaha helped Chitose to set the food on the table before they started to eat with each other.

Yuuki had to admit this dinner was quite good. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Chitose, there is another ghost here, right?"

Chitose was a bit surprised but nodded. "Yes, she is staying on the edge of the room."

"She is not going to come here?" Utaha asked.

Ayumi shook her head and said, "She is a bit of a loner and she can't move around from her room."

"What is her name?" Yuuki asked.

"Yuuna Yunohana." Chitose looked at Yuuki and said, "Please don't chase her away."

"I won't do it," Yuuki said. He knew that it was impossible to make money from this Inn, but he didn't care much about small amounts of money from this place. He thought that it was better to let it become his private place.

"You're not going to start a business from this place?" Utaha asked.

"I am not." Yuuki shook his head and said, "Who is going to stay in the haunted place?"

Chitose was a bit embarrassed and said, "I am sorry."

"No, I am not going to blame you, Chitose-chan," Yuuki said. He thought for a while and said, "Unless, the one who is staying here is Youkai."

"...."

"Youkai?"

"Going to stay here?"

"Ghost doesn't have money, but youkai has it," Yuuki said.

"I am sorry I don't have money," Ayumi said while pouting.

"I was joking. I don't care about profit in this place." Yuuki pointed his chopsticks at his dinner and said, "I have a good dinner and I can stay whenever I want in the hot spring. Your food is good and I don't want to share your food with anyone."

Chitose blushed looking at Yuuki and said, "T - Thank you."

Utaha pinched Yuuki's thigh and asked, "You're interested in loli?"

"....."

Chitose blushed once again and looked at Yuuki with a curious gaze.

Yuuki wasn't sure what to say and only said, "Let's continue to eat since it won't be good when it has become cold."

"....."

Utaha snorted looking at Yuuki since this guy avoided answering her question.

Chitose sighed when she thought that Yuuki didn't have an interest in her body. She looked down and knew that it was impossible for her to grow since she was a Zashiki-Warashi.

Zashiki-warashi, sometimes also called Zashiki Bokko, is spirit-like beings told mostly in the Iwate Prefecture. They are said to be yokai that live in zashiki storage rooms, and they would perform pranks and those that see one would be visited with good fortune.

Chitose had lived for centuries or so, and she knew that she had given up for someone to fall in love with her small body.

Yuuki looked at Chitose and patted her head. "It isn't that I am not interested in you. Chitose, you're very cute." He was very keen on a woman's heart and understood that this girl was very sad when her body was small. He wasn't sure whether he could make her body bigger, and that was why he didn't say anything about it. He thought that it was better to praise to make her feel better.

"Eh?" Chitose was surprised by his words.

Utaha sipped a tea calmly and said, "It seems that you have become a lolicon."

"......."

Chitose blushed and held her cheeks with both of her hands. "I - I can't answer you now." She said those words before running away from the living room. She forgot that Utaha was his girlfriend and thought that he had a special taste for women. If it was different people she might reject him, but it was Yuuki and she was his fan. It had always been a fans' dream to marry their idol.

"......."

"Lolicon!" Ayumi said while floating around.

"......." Yuuki drank his tea and wondered whether he was a lolicon.

"Oh, sorry, you're not a lolicon," Utaha said.

"Then, what am I?" Yuuki asked.

"You're a beast," Utaha said.

Yuuki raised his eyes and said, "This beast will eat you tonight."

Utaha blushed hearing his words and pulled the sleeves of his kimono. "You're going to eat me now?"

"Let's take a break for a while since we have just eaten," Yuuki said.

"Well, okay," Utaha said and rested her head on his lap. She looked at him and showed an expression that wanted him to pamper her.

Yuuki caressed her hair and took her hand kissing her knuckle.

"I love you," Utaha said.

Yuuki smiled and said, "I love you too."
