Start By Becoming A Mangaka

The next day, Yuuki was pretty refreshed since he had fun with his girlfriends last night. He went down and saw Rossweisse was sleeping on the couch while hugging a bottle of wine. He could see her stomach was up and made him shake his head.

Yuuki fixed her clothes and went back to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone. He tossed them around and needed to take care of them in the morning.

"Morning, Yuuki," Makoto woke up first and greeted him.

"Morning, Makoto," Yuuki said.

Makoto smelled a delicious smell from the kitchen. She walked toward him and asked, "What are you making?"

"Hmm, just a simple dish," Yuuki said. He didn't have much skill in culinary and didn't think he needed it since he had his girlfriend to cook for him, today was an exception though.

"I will help you," Makoto said.

"Thank you, that would be great," Yuuki said.

Both of them started to prepare the food together while talking to each other.

"How is your school?" Yuuki didn't want his cousin to be bullied or anything.

Makoto nodded, "Yes, everyone is very kind, especially everyone from the student council, they're quite funny, Shouko also helps me every day with her friends."

Yuuki nodded and felt happy since his cousin could live well in this place and school.

"Though I kept hearing a strange sound coming out from your room, I wonder what sound is that," Makoto looked at him.

"Hmm, maybe you hear my snoring," Yuuki said.

"Really?" Makoto asked.

"Yeah, my snoring is pretty loud," Yuuki said.

Rossweisse who had woken up didn't disrupt their conversation rather her face was blushing. She wanted to complain at this bad boy who deceived his cousin telling it was the sound of his snoring. She could wake up normally even though she had a lot of drink last night. She had tasted his wine from South Africa and it was very delicious. She looked at the beautiful necklace that he had given her to him. He said it helped her to cure her hangover in the morning.

Rossweisse started to think that it was a really good decision to change her job in his place.

Ranko, Yukana, and Utaha had woken up and also went to the dining room to eat together.

Tsugumi was looking at the handcuff in front of her. She didn't know why this thing was here but she was pretty curious about it.

"What is this?" Tsugumi said while looking at the handcuffs.

"Hmm, do you need something there, Seishirou?" Claude looked at her.

"Ah, Claude-sama...." Tsugumi turned her head.

Claude walked toward her and saw the handcuffs in front of her, "Oh, these? They're explosive-rigged handcuffs, we used these during our interrogations back in the day." He smiled while reminiscing about that day.

Tsugumi twitched her lips, "Explosive...Rigged?"

Claude nodded, "These handcuffs can read the pulse of whoever is wearing them, if the pulse exceeds a certain value, they explode." He said while adjusting his glasses.

"How violent..."Tsugumi had a sweatdrop on her face.

"I was planning to throw these away since we never use them anymore, but..." Claude looked at him for a bit and said, "Hmm, Seishirou, you can have them."

"Huh?" Tsugumi looked surprised.

"You can use them to interrogate Raku Ichijou if you like, if not, just throw them away," Claude said.

"Er..." Tsugumi wasn't sure how to react in this situation, "Yes, sir..." She reluctantly accepted it and when she would go to the school he called her.

"Wait, Tsugumi!" Claude called her.

"Hmm, what's wrong, Claude-sama?" Tsugumi asked.

Claude looked pretty serious while adjusting his glasses several times. He looked around until he felt there was no one in this place.

Tsugumi felt his action was pretty strange, "What's wrong, Claude-sama?"

Claude had done the final check and asked her, "What do you think of Yuuki Ichijou?"

"What?" Tsugumi became startled and blushed. She didn't know why Claude had asked her about Yuuki but in her opinion, he was a rogue, "Why are you asking, Claude-sama?"

Claude took a deep breath and looked around again. He told her to get closer to him, "Come here."

Tsugumi nodded and moved closer.

"I know it is strange but I think Ojou is in love with him," Claude said.

"WHAT!!!!!" Tsugumi couldn't believe it and shouted disbelief.

"Shhh!!!!!" Claude hurriedly told her to be quiet.

Tsugumi nodded and said, "I am sorry, Claude-sama, but this news is just too much." She knew about it but she didn't want to admit it.

Claude sighed and said, "I also feel the same but her action lately makes me believe that it is true."

Tsugumi didn't know how to answer this question and wasn't sure how to react.

"Well, if you can, can you also try to observe him?" Claude asked.

Tsugumi nodded at him, "Yes, I will do it." She was also curious about this and needed to interrogate him. It wasn't like that she was happy that she could spend time with him.

"TSUGUMI, WHERE ARE YOU???"

Both Claude and Tsugumi were startled at the same time.

"Ah, here you are, let's go to school," Chitoge said. She went to her and pulled her with her.

"W - wait, Ojou, don't pull me!" Tsugumi was startled and took the handcuffs along with her.

Claude looked at his adopted son and said, "Good luck, Tsugumi."

Yuuki had arrived at the school and he found Hiratsuka. He looked around and didn't find any students there. He walked slowly toward her and hugged her from behind, "I miss you, sensei." He had gone to South Africa and he missed this violent teacher of his.

Hiratsuka became giddy when she heard his deep voice. She turned her head and looked at him menacingly, "What are you doing?? This is school!!"

"Well, if it is not in the school, I can hug you?" Yuuki asked.

Hiratsuka blushed and said, "Hurry up and let go of me!!" She pushed him away from her since she was pretty scared someone would see both of them hugging together.

Yuuki was thrown by her but he didn't expect there was someone behind him. He hit this person and fell down at the same time.

Hiratsuka was stunned and walked toward him, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I am fine," Yuuki answered her and looked at the person in front of him, "Are you fine, Tsugumi?"

"Yeah, I am fine, Yuuki," Tsugumi said.

Both of them wanted to stand up together but they felt something on their hands.

"What is this?" Yuuki looked at the handcuffs on his hands.

Tsugumi had a cold sweat on her head and panicked inside, 'WHAATTTTTT!!!!!!'
