Before the meeting took place, I decided to make a post on my Twitter, without worrying about the consequences. The only thing I posted was:

[She said yes]

My post immediately started receiving many comments and likes. People immediately understood what I meant by that. Many colleagues and friends also replied congratulating me.

I wonder what Miu will think of this. I hope she won't be bothered by all this attention.

Honestly, it's better to expose our relationship than to hide it and disappoint my fans. There are women and men who look at their idols as pure and treat them like their boyfriends/girlfriends.

It's strange, but it exists.

It's better to distance yourself from those people.

After reading some replies and responding to some "friends," I closed my Twitter and pretended nothing had happened. However, I noticed I had received many messages from Rina. She was very excited.

I thought she would be annoyed by what I posted, but that's not the case. She was basically celebrating.

[I'm so happy for you two! But remember, you're still very young! Don't do anything stupid!]

Why is everyone saying that?

I sighed and replied.

[I'm mature enough to understand that.]

After that, I stopped replying to messages and opened my Discord to join the Koe no Katachi meeting. As soon as I opened the group, I noticed people were chatting.

It was a completely random conversation.

When they saw I was online, one of the animators tagged me and said:

[I saw what you posted on Twitter. Congratulations. Your friend is very pretty, you got lucky!]

She was a (female) animator, very talented. She's as young as Rina, but has extraordinary talent.

I smiled and replied:

[Yes, she's very pretty. But I honestly still can't believe what happened.]

[I didn't expect our relationship to go this far.]

[HAHAHAHA]

[Look at him! You're famous, man, of course you could get the woman you love!]

[Hey, hey, it's not all about money and fame. Kyo has been friends with that girl since before his identity was revealed.]

[But he's gorgeous, have you seen him in person? I have, and it's unbelievable!]

[Urgh, why are you saying this so openly? He's reading this, you know?]

I read the messages and started laughing. Then, Asuna appeared.

[Let's stop talking about this kind of thing? We're here to talk about work. Join the call within 10 minutes.]

All 10 people who participated in the meeting, including me, confirmed their attendance.

I decided to wait a bit before joining the call. I opened my Twitter again and browsed for a while before joining the call. When I joined the call, the meeting started immediately.

Luckily, no one mentioned me and Miu.

Asuna started talking about the project while showing me her screen.

She showed me some polished and colored scenes from the film. Even the digital effects had already been added. This meeting seemed to have been set up to show me scenes and get my approval.

And honestly, everything I saw is on another level.

'It will definitely be the best animated film of the year.'

So, the meeting ended. As soon as it was over, my mom knocked on my bedroom door to let me know dinner was ready. I'd had a snack a little while ago and wasn't hungry, but I went downstairs anyway to have dinner with my family.

My mom and dad were sitting next to each other, and Miu was sitting on the other side of the table.

Naturally, I sat next to Miu.

As soon as I sat down, my dad spoke up. "Your mom told me you two are dating now. Congratulations." He smiled at both of us. Miu got shy and couldn't say a word, but I answered him.

"Thanks, I guess." I chuckled.

"Can you believe that when I walked into the room, they were practically kissing? How old do they think they are?"

"You guys shouldn't be doing things like that for the time being," my dad said, smiling in a friendly way.

"I almost did it on impulse. But kissing is fine, isn't it? I even kissed Eiri during the shoot," I said, shrugging.

"Well, you're right. But if you keep kissing, you might end up getting too carried away and..."

"And end up having sex?" I said, before my mom could finish.

"What? *Cough! Cough!*" Miu choked on her food and looked at me in alarm. "What are you saying!? Don't you have any shame?"

"Well, we're having a serious conversation, aren't we? I know perfectly well that I'm too young for that sort of thing—don't worry. I'm very responsible, and you guys know it." I let out a long sigh.

"I trust you," my dad said.

As for my mom... "I'm not sure I trust you all that much."

Meanwhile, Miu looked like she was about to die of embarrassment.

So, time went by.

News of my relationship with Miu spread everywhere, and everyone accepted it without issue. I even posted a photo with her on Instagram that got nearly 200,000 likes.

Miu said her school life changed completely after she started dating me. She'd never had so many friends before. And, of course, her enemies increased too.

There are a lot of jealous girls at school.

But she says it's fine; she says her school life is perfect right now.

Miu's life is very peaceful; these days, she just goes to school and works on her novel. She's writing the second volume, and the first one is set to be published soon.

I'm looking forward to reading it.

My life, on the other hand, is quite busy.

I finished filming "Teenage Love", and I'm doing a lot of writing. I've reached volume 16 of the The Apothecary Diaries—the last volume released before I came to this world. Now, I'm going to continue the story on my own.

As for the Shingeki manga, I've already completed up to chapter 39.

Another thing I've been doing lately is writing and producing songs from my old world. I plan to release a full album soon. I haven't shown the music to anyone—not even Miu.

It's a surprise.

On top of all that, I've started working on the long-running Koe no Katachi series, and I'm also doing a lot of commercials, capitalizing on the visibility I gained from Piece of My Heart.

The series is a huge success!
