" A Stay "

Emillia, exhausted from waiting, watched as Kyo finally arrived. He greeted her calmly and asked, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be heading home?"

Emillia explained, "I spoke with my parents, and they mentioned they're attending a wedding. They said I could stay with my boyfriend if I wanted to. So, I wanted to ask if you'd like to stay."

Kyo, just as composed as ever, politely declined, "I won't be staying, but you're welcome to stay at my place."

Emillia's face lit up with excitement as she eagerly accepted, "Yes!"

As they arrived at Kyo's place, he calmly turned to Emillia and asked, "If you have any problems or anything, make sure to tell me." As they entered, they were greeted by Kyo's butler.

Emillia, a bit surprised, whispered to Kyo, "I didn't know you had a butler."

Kyo replied, "I never told you."

The butler introduced himself to Emillia as the butler of the young master, which raised her eyebrows as it was not something she'd often hear.

The butler inquired politely if they would like to eat. Kyo calmly declined, and as Emillia often acted like a child, she mimicked his response.

Both Kyo and the butler couldn't help but notice her playful behavior. The butler then addressed Kyo, saying, "Young master, your physical training has begun. Please get ready to attend it."

Kyo, with a nod, proceeded to his room to prepare for his training, while the butler turned to Emillia and asked for her name, inviting her to sit in the living room on the couch.

Emillia's curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to check on Kyo's training. As she entered the area, she was taken aback to see Kyo handling firearms and firing bullets with precision.

Her surprise didn't go unnoticed, as Kyo's butler arrived and explained, "Our young master is currently training in various disciplines, and this is one of the training methods he has chosen."

Emillia, still somewhat bewildered, asked, "Isn't it illegal to use and practice with actual firearms?" Coming from a family with wealth but a strict adherence to the law, she wasn't prepared for this kind of training.

Kyo's butler, devoid of judgment, responded, "It is essential for our master to acquire new skills. The legality of the methods used is of secondary concern."

As she observed Kyo practicing with the firearms and his butler offering guidance, she realized that Kyo's path was far different from the one she had imagined.

Kyo's butler, a highly skilled individual, possessed the knowledge to fire bullets with precision and had been entrusted to teach Kyo these techniques. Kyo's dedication to his training was evident as he trained intensely for four hours without taking breaks for food or water.

Emillia couldn't help but contemplate the stark differences between her and Kyo. She wondered whether she truly had a place in his complex life. His seemingly solitary nature and his relentless pursuit of self-improvement made her question her role in his world.
