When we arrived at Daimaru Kyoto, we were welcomed by several salespeople.
âDid you contact them, kiddo?â Komatsu asked.
âOf course.â Kiyotaka nodded. He had worked there for a while, so he probably knew everyone.
âWelcome, Miss Zhou,â said a dignified salesman. âVan Leaf & Anabel is located in the special selection corner on the second floor.â He smoothly guided Azusa into the department store.
âWhy, thank you.â Azusa put on a large pair of sunglasses and walked in a noble manner. Aoi and Kiyotaka were right behind her, while her bodyguards were ensuring her safety from a distance.
Among the salespeople was a lone woman wearing a suit. She was in her early thirties, with a slender frame and large, bright eyes.
âItâs been a while, Kiyotaka and Aoi,â she said.
âIâm sorry for not keeping in touch, Taniguchi,â Kiyotaka said. He and Aoi smiled at her. Clearly, the pair knew her.
Taniguchi quickly moved to stand next to Kiyotaka and whispered, âThe whole companyâs abuzz because the young lady from Hua Ya Corporation is here.â
Komatsu hummed. âEveryone recognizes that name, huh?â
âYes.â Taniguchi nodded. âHua Ya is said to be one of the top ten companies in the world.â
âTop ten...â Komatsu gaped.
âNot only do they deal in IT business and trading, but in recent years they launched an apparel brand called Hua, which is also doing very well. I hear the young lady is involved in their projects. Please introduce me to her later, Kiyotaka!â She nudged him with her elbow and clapped her hands together. âPlease.â
âOf course,â said Kiyotaka.
âThank you. Ahh, Iâm not even surprised that youâre accompanying such a high-profile VIP. The lady must adore you, doesnât she?â
âNo, she absolutely loathes me.â
âOh, we all know thatâs not true.â Taniguchi laughed and patted him on the back.
âNah, itâs the truth,â Komatsu muttered softly.
Even though they were only going up one floor, they took the elevator. When they reached the second floor, they saw a logo with a hydrangea motif. Apparently this kind of hydrangea was called âAnnabelle.â
Azusa happily made her way to the Van Leaf & Anabel section and peered into the display case. âItâs so fun to look at them in-store. I normally have to have the vendors bring them to me directly.â
âFigures,â Komatsu said with a strained smile.
âDo you not get to go shopping often, Azusa?â Aoi asked.
Azusa nodded. âMy mom died in a terrorist attack when she went abroad on a business trip. Because of that, my dad never wanted to let me go outside. He wouldnât even let me travel by myself until I was twenty. So when I finally turned twenty last month, I wanted to go to Italy, but he said, âAbsolutely not. If you want to travel, go to Japan where itâs safe.â So I had no choice but to come here. My dad will be joining me later, though, so I canât even call it a solo trip anymore.â
I think it stopped being a solo trip when the bodyguards tagged along, Komatsu thought with a stiff expression.
âI was able to do a lot of shopping in Tokyo and Yokohama, though, so it was a lot of fun.
