A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 45

Lyra besides that, no need to bother looking at Naruto. All Lyra's life, she's only ever eaten with a man named Eric.

Naruto keeps begging "Lyra come on! I won't trouble you there. You just sit there and nothing bothers you.

Lyra is a person who always wants to know new things.

Lyra replied and said, "alright! I'll help you this time. But you don't touch me or get too close to me. Hows it? If I don't want to I won't go."

Naruto was immediately excited and said, "Precise me Lyra, I would never do such things.

Naruto is now the leader of several gangsters in the Yokohama city area. So he was a delinquent but never had the experience of approaching women. But there were a lot of women approaching him. But as soon as Lyra arrived in Japan she was immediately amazed by the beauty of Lyra. Although Lyra is his cousin, Naruto is eager to make Lyra his girlfriend but Lyra is not a conqueror for him. Therefore, with the acceptance of the offer by Lyra, this can be considered as her first date with Lyra. Naruto was very excited.

"Eric I've been waiting for you early in front of the university. You don't stay too long, we'll miss the show." Nanako across the phone.

Eric answered casually" Nanako! I'll be there fifteen minutes."

Nanako replied, "Okay! See you back!"

Eric immediately rushed to the university, he was driving a taxi.

As usual Eric did not look cool, but rather he wore simple clothes but still neat.

If seen in the eyes of people, they can only think of Eric as a poor man. Because young people in Japan rarely use cheap clothes. They always wear trendy and expensive clothes.

Eric was actually eager to use his true appearance. But not to be with nanako, for she does not know nanako very well.

Shortly after Eric arrives at the gates of the university, but he sees no sign of nanako's whereabouts.

"Hai haruka good afternoon!!" Eric.

Haruka heard a somewhat familiar voice. He realized the figure that was why he was Eric. Then Haruka turned around and replied, "Hi too" After saying that Haruka at started to turn around and leave.

Eric who saw Haruka's response to her made a pain in his heart, 'maybe he's still mad at me ' Eric said confusedly in his heart. But he didn't think too much about it.

Suddenly comes a black BMW 9 Series car speeding up and stops right in front of Eric. Two guys got out of the car and it was jiso and nanako.

Eric was surprised and said, "Nanako! You broke your promise, why is jiso coming too?"

Jiso came forward and replied, "Eric! I never finished thinking that Nanako would take the initiative to ask you out together. Do you know what? if this is the first time nanako dared to invite a man on a date?"

Nanako's face beside that was flushed with embarrassment, "Jiso you talk too much! I told you not to talk too much when you meet Eric."

Jiso laughed and said, "Nanako need not be shy. Anyway I said it's according to the facts, right? Hehee eventually so long you won't be single anymore."

Hearing jiso nanako's words couldn't hold back her embarrassment anymore.

Nanko pulled jiso's hand and said, "Eric don't listen too much to jiso's words. His brain is crazy."

Jiso replied and laughed, "Hahaa... This is how if you are in love, your friends are considered crazy. Yeah, you guys can spend some time together, I'm gonna go first."

After saying so jiso got in the car and stepped on the accelerator.jiso left nanako and Eric.

"Nanako is that your car?" Ask Eric.

Nanako replied timidly, "yes! That's my car"

Eric said, "Why then did jiso take her away? Aren't we going too?"

Nanako replied, "Yes we're going. I am ashamed to drive such a car.

Eric was confused and replied, "You embarrassed? Is the car too bad? I think the car is good."

Nanako replied timidly. "That's not the case, I'm not used to using a car like that meeting my friends. Do you mind if we take a taxi to go?"

Eric felt touched by nanako's humble nature, "Oh not at all, I don't mind.”

What touched Eric's heart was, nanako was not at all embarrassed when she was close to Eric, even taking the initiative to invite Eric for a walk.

During his life, he had only been invited to eat once by a woman who was none other than Lyra. This time! She will actually be invited to meet nanako's friends.

They both sat there waiting for the taxi to arrive.

"Nanako! Why did you take the initiative to bring me? Why don't you take Jiso or something?" Ask Eric.

Nanako replied and said, "Jiso is busy today! And I don't really have any friends, so that's why I asked you to help me. It's okay, right?"

Eric asked "What about Akio? Looks like he likes you. It's also good if you invite him to attend instead of me."

Nanako replied with a frown, "I never wanted to be friends with him! But he always tried to get close to me. And I don't have any other friends besides jiso, so that's why I'm asking you instead of him."

Eric replies "Is it like that?"

Nanako simply nodded in response.

Nanako this time felt something in her heart when she was near Eric. He had some kind of weird emotion for Eric.

Lyra is treated like a queen by Naruto. He opened the car door slowly and let Lyra in. As if he were Lyra's bodyguard.

Lyra did not care about her cousin at all. He just got in the car and was quiet all the time.

The atmosphere in the car was very awkward. Just the sound of a car engine. Naruto did not dare to make a sound but the atmosphere in the car was too quiet.

"Liara! Why did you suddenly move to college in Japan?" Ask Naruto. Actually he already knew the reason Lyra moved to Japan, only he wanted to clarify the rumors. Is it true or not.

Lyra coldly said, "What right do you have to ask me about my personal matters?"

Naruto said nervously, "It's not like it's Lyra, but I just want to know why you're moving on."

Lyra replied angrily saying, "To be honest I will never go out on a walk with you. But it was grandma who asked me to do it." Lyra said in an angry tone then added. " You don't ask me too much nonsense, just stop the car I want to go home."

Hearing this Naruto panicked.

Naruto immediately said "Lyra, please don't take it personally. I'm sorry, I won't say much anymore." Naruto begged sincerely and added, "If grandma finds out you're not coming home with me, grandma will never want to see me, arguing that I'm not taking good care of you. "

To be honest, Naruto is a quiet and cold person. It is impossible that he ever begged a girl.His stubborn nature is now gone with the appearance of Lyra in his life.

Although Lyra is her cousin, but there is no prohibition to like her cousin.

Lyra heard Naruto's statement just silently with a look out the window.

Naruto did not dare to ask or say any more words in front of Lyra, he just kept quiet the whole time. The car was quiet on the way to its destination.

He opened Lyra's car door just like before. Naruto guides Lyra into the restaurant.

Their classmates arrived first. By the time Lyra and Naruto entered, all eyes were on the two of them.

They were all shocked by the beauty with Naruto.

"Naruto is this your new boyfriend. I admit she's the goddess of beauty, "Say friend Naruto.

Naruto heard this very happy, but he was afraid that Lyra would be fed up and get out of here when she heard this.

Naruto grabbed the collar of his friend who spoke earlier and beat him up. Everyone knows Naruto is a quiet boy but a gangster leader.

Lyra heard and saw Naruto beat up her friend, but she didn't care. Lyra looked for an empty chair and sat alone.

All of Naruto's alumni classmates dare not say hello to Lyra. They could only admire the beauty of Lyra.
