Chapter 10

After spending the day with Miyuki, she drives me back to the apartment complex. "Miyuki-san thank you for accompanying me today. Sorry if I bothered you" I say as we pull up to the private parking spot.

"No, now i look back on it. I'm supposed to be your bodyguard. Sorry if I have come across as unprofessional" she says whilst looking into the rear-view mirror with a worried look.

"But it has been a pleasure accompanying you today, Rin-san."

"Haha, don't worry. Truth be told, I prefer people not being so formal with me" I smile at Miyuki in the mirror.

"Actually, as long as you don't mind, I will need company for the week as I plan to visit restaurants and I could do with a partner to accompany me whilst eating" I ask her before opening the door.

I see a surprised face on the beauty, but then she smiles as she turns her face to me. "It would be my pleasure".

"Okay, well I have your contact details so I will send you my itinerary once I get hold of it".

I get out of the car and peep my head through the window.

"Thank you again for accompanying me today" I smile and head towards the elevator.

[Miyuki POV]

I get in the car to drive Rin to his apartment complex. 'This day has been surprisingly good' I smile inwardly.

'I don't know why people assume he's depressed. From my perspective, it is a pleasure to accompany Rin'

Whilst driving home I cannot help but overthink the day. " Is this normal for a bodyguard?' thinking back on my actions during the day I worry that I have given an unprofessional impression.

I look at Rin in the rear-view mirror and see him silently on his phone. 'I wouldn't think he was 15 if I wasn't already told about it' I look at his handsome face and cannot help compliment him inwardly.

As we arrive at the private parking area, I hear Rin "Miyuki-san thank you for accompanying me today, sorry if I bothered you."

"It has been a pleasure accompanying you today Rin-san"

"... I could do a partner to accompany me whilst eating."

'He's such a nice guy. Even though I've been unprofessional, he still wants me to accompany him'

I agree to accompany him and then he gets out of the car. "Thanks again for accompanying me today" I hear his voice before he walks towards the elevator.

"Okay, Miyuki!" I take a deep breath. "Next time make sure to be professional" I whisper as I psyche myself up.

[Rin POV]

As I exit the elevator, I swipe a key fob on the elevator key pad and press the elevator button so that it goes to the penthouse suite.

I exit the elevator and see Alfred cleaning the living room. "Ah, good evening master Rin. How has your day been?" Alfred notices my presence and asks whilst smiling at me.

I smile at Alfred. "Good evening Alfred. It's been great to see Osaka.. but I'm quite tired so I will have a bath"

"Ah, master Rin, may I ask if you have eaten dinner? Your personal chef has come back from his holiday and is living in the building. If you are hungry, I will ask him to make a meal for you" Alfred asks upon seeing that I am heading to the master bedroom.

'Ah, I forgot I had a private chef. I guess it's the joys of being rich' I smile inwardly as I realise again the perks of being rich.

"No, I haven't had dinner so i would be grateful if he could make me something. I will go have a bath now" I then continue to the master bedroom.

"Alfred. could you ask him if he has any cooking theory books? I'm trying to refresh my memory" I remember the chef is a well-educated graduate of a cooking academy.

"Sure master Rin. I will ask now" he then takes out his phone and calls the chef.

Hearing this, I continue to the ensuite bathroom and start running the bath.

I walk back to the master bedroom and lie down on the king-sized bed 'It still seems unbelievable that I'm in this position.'

[If this great goddess didn't give you the pleasure of watching the anime, then you wouldn't be here] Amara comments as she hears my thoughts.

'Amara, how do I change it so you can't hear my thoughts? I'm feeling kind of uncomfortable'

[*Hmph* and what is wrong with having me read your thoughts!? I am the one who gave you this opportunity.

'But it was Eros who sent me here not you' I reply to her after hearing the haughty goddess.

[*Hmph* you should still be more grateful to me.]

'I am Amara, don't worry! But how would you feel if I could read your mind 24/7'

[I suppose I would feel uncomfortable too. Okay, let this goddess bless you with the knowledge so that you can do it.

'You mean you knew about this all the time? But you said this was new to you??' I say as I am slightly angered that she hid it from me.

[Okay, I'm sorry. Well, it is new to me, but naturally, I'm more knowledgeable about these things, so it wasn't hard to figure out after thinking about it].

[But I just wanted to know if you were okay with my presence and wanted to know your personality better] Amara says in a sad tone. I cannot help but imagine the shy-looking loli with a sad expression on her face.

I sigh inwardly, 'but Amara this isn't the best way of going about it. We will have plenty of chances to get to know each other.'

I sigh again, 'it's okay Amara, but please don't hide these kinds of things from me in the future' I cannot help but forgive her after hearing her sad tone.

[Thanks Rin. Well, it should be quite simple to you as you seem to be gifted in telepathy.]

[Actually, when learning telepathic communication, usually a person first focuses on finding their 'inner self' and then uses that to form a connection with another person.]

[We automatically formed a connection with each other when you came into this world, and due to you being naturally talented and also the fact that I'm a goddess made the process smoother, so you basically skipped the first step.]

[Focus your thoughts on your inner self and you should be able to keep your thoughts and senses to yourself. This should be easy for you because of your talent.]

I do as she says 'Hey Amara can you hear me?'

As I receive no response, I try again 'Hey Amara! Anime is shit and you should be ashamed for being an otaku!'

'Naruto is overrated!'

'Dubbed is better than subbed!'

I still receive no response...

'Seems like she can't hear me. I'm sorry Amara, I didn't mean it' I cannot help feel guilty after throwing such insults.

I then focus on the contact with Amara 'Hey Amara I think it worked'

[Oh really. I'm happy for you] Although she said this I could hear slight dejection in the tone of her voice.

'Don't worry Amara, I won't cut myself out all the time. I think it's fair that I let you see the world as you have given me quite a lot since we first met.]

'I have given nothing back to you yet' I say this whilst feeling guilty after hearing her dejected response.

'Wait, Amara! Does this mean that I could use telepathy with other people in this world?'

[To be honest, I'm not sure. There shouldn't be anyone with any knowledge concerning this, so telepathic communication should be impossible as it requires both contacts to have the ability to do so.]

[Would you like me to go more into detail?'

'This stuff is already confusing enough, so I think I'll leave it at that. Just understanding our connection is enough, so there's no point going into more detail.'
