Just love, no rental! [Male reader x Chizuru]

Mini and Meeting

[read or bad] Now one might be asking, how did I write a chapter when I had clearly strained my left arm? Well, guess what. I used this weird microphone app thingy that translates my voice into text, and I simply copy-pasted it. Then I simply edit all the question marks, bold texts, and more. It takes more time, so please vote it :)

My neck hurts now

You're texting Kazuya about the impulsive movie plan, when you're again, hit by a wooden piece. You groan in annoyance, and you go to the veranda, and you see Chizuru, holding another piece of wood, ready to throw it at you.

"What do you want..." You say, rubbing the back of your head at the pain.

"So, how's it going with the movie project?" She asks, sounding professional.

"Oh, Uhm, I think I'll have to do our own crowdfunding. Other companies won't accept an unknown actress." You say and add a quick sorry.

"No, it's ok, I was half expecting that. How's Kazuya doing then?" She asks.

"He's doing better than I expected, somehow. But, how about you? Once the movie's out, so is your identity in the university." You ask in concern.

She stops talking for a moment. "It's ok, I braced myself for that. Once I make myself in the debut," She looks at the night sky. "I don't care if people talk behind my back in the university."

"Ah, I see... Kazuya's gonna be in a lot of trouble then," You mutter to yourself.

"Because of that," Chizuru looks at you. "I have high hopes for you, finance controller." She smiles a bit. "And also the music director." She leans her head against the fence, and you smile a bit, and you're about to respond back when you hear a little, cute voice.

"You two over there~" You and Chizuru turn around and see a figure of a girl. "I hear you talking all the time recently, if you have so much to say why don't you just talk in your rooms~?"

The- the 202 neighbor? I thought the place was empty? You think, and you bet that Chizuru is thinking the same thing too.

"You see, I can't focus on my work..." She talks a bit louder this time. "More importantly, talking on the veranda this late at the night, all sneaky sneaky-"

She turns her face around towards your direction, revealing a cute girl with blue outlines of hair and a small fang. She's wearing simple clothes as if she's a person who has no job. But then again, she probably doesn't.

"If you're gonna flirt around that much, why don't you go out already?"

_________________________________________________________________________

"Ehhhh?" Chizuru shouts, and her face turns bright red. She then closes her mouth, as if trying to calm herself, and looks at you, who's looking out of the place right now.

"Next time, let's not meet on the veranda anymore." With that, she goes inside her own flat quite hurriedly, and you send a look at the newly-found neighbor, who seems to intercept it well enough.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I shouldn't nose around my new neighbors!" She cheerfully apologizes, which doesn't sound like an apology at all. But then she looks closely at your face, and her face shines.

"Hey, I know you! I'm also a streamer! Yaemori Mini!" She shouts, and honestly, you don't care, but you act mature and nod in false interest.

"You should watch my streams sometime! Well, I'm off, see ya!" She runs back to her flat, accompanied by some crashing noise. You sigh and go back to your flat, and start reading Kazuya's 14 messages about the plan for the movie, when-

Chizuru Ichinose: I'm going to your flat.

And with that, you hear a knock. You quickly open the door, only to be pushed back by Chizuru, who drags you to the living room. All of this is happening too fast.

"Wha-wha-what the heck?" You glare at Chizuru.

"Consider this... our first official meeting." She says, and she plops down on the floor. Your eyes brighten and you quickly send a message to Kazuya. Then, you sit next to her.

"So, what is it?"

_________________________________________________________________________

Several talks pass on, and Chizuru is ever determined. You, however, are growing a bit famished. You idly nod on for Chizuru to continue, who somehow is being excited and keeping her cool at the same time.

Your stomach finally growls, and Chizuru notices it, and she looks at you. Your face becomes slightly red, but Chizuru doesn't give a shit.

"You hungry?" She stands up, and heads to your kitchen. You hurriedly follow her.

"Jeez, why do you have to do.. Everything so fast?" You question her, but she's ignoring you and already putting the apron on.

"What do you want for dinner?" She tilts her head as she ties the back of her apron.

"Uh-uhm, Omurice, I guess." You answer, and Chizuru's face lights up.

"Oh? I'm actually decent at making omurice, you know?" She says, and adds a joke. "Stay back, idiot, watch how the pro makes food." You take it for real, and you stand back, scared and confused of her attitude.

Time pass and you're served with one plate of delicious-looking omurice. You look at it, mouthwatering, then look at Chizuru, who's looking at you.

"You sure you don't want it?" She declines politely, and you take a bite. It's delicious. You give her a thumbs up, and she smiles a bit. You eat the whole plate, and you're putting the plate in the sink when you hear a knock.

"Chizuru, can you open the door?" You ask, and Chizuru steps to the door, revealing Kazuya and Ruka.

Kazuya looks a bit stiff, the latter holding Kazuya's arm as if it was her lifeline. "Hi, Chizuru-san!" She cheerfully greets Chizuru, and soon you. Kazuya just gives a quick wave.

"So, I'm gonna be helping yall with the movie!" Ruka says, as if you didn't know already. You simply nod a quick thank you, and you get on with the meeting.

"So, Kazuya.. How's the..."

"Oh! I can do this..."

"Yeah, mhm, this guy..."

The meeting is overall satisfactory, and Kazuya and Ruka head home, Kazuya looking a bit better now. You decide not to question Kazuya about his parents. Not now anyway. You look at Chizuru. "Shoo, Chizuru," You joke. "I must get on with my music." You say, and Chizuru throws a murderous look.

"Pssh, you're not even helping a lot with the funding..." She says and leaves your flat.

What she doesn't know, though, is that you're making a Livestream to raise more funds...
