Start by Becoming a Mangaka

"We're here."

Yuuki was speechless and couldn't believe it. It was just a few hours before that he was drinking coffee in the restaurant then a few hours later he was on the remote island in the pacific ocean.

"Yuuki-sama! There are only two of us here in this place!"

Marika smiled while holding his hand.

"...."

Yuuki wasn't sure what to say in this situation.

"I'm here too," Honda interjected.

"...."

"Don't worry, my body is very healthy now, Yuuki-sama!" Marika said while raising both of her firsts. She had become healthy and her father was very happy. That was also one of the reasons why she had brought him to this remote island since she wanted both of them to develop something more without anyone bothering.

She has only made one miscalculation that she can't do anything now.

"Marika-sama, your father has told me that you can't have an excessive relationship between a boy and a girl," Honda said calmly.

"..."

"Honda, can you close your eyes for five seconds?" Marika asked.

"Hmm?" Honda looked at Marika with a confused expression.

"Just close your eyes for a while," Marika said. She didn't expect him to do a bridal carry on her but she was happy.

"Well...." Honda nodded and closed her eyes before counting.

Marika grabbed Yuuki and started to run away.

Yuuki smiled and thought for a while before carrying Marika in his arms.

"Y - Yuuki-sama!" Marika blushed.

"Let's go. This is faster," Yuuki said.

Marika nodded in response.

They ran away from Honda who had opened her eyes looking at both of them with a smile.

Yuuki had changed his clothes to an aloha shirt and shorts while sitting inside the villa on this island. He looked at Marika who prepared a coconut for both of them. "Where is this?"

Marika placed the coconut on the table and said, "We're on one of the islands contained within the republic of Kiribati, just south of the equator in the Pacific Ocean."

"This is also where my family also owns this island."

"....."

"Kiribati? Your family? Your father?" Yuuki wanted to say that her father was corrupt since there was no way for the chief of police to buy a private island for his family.

"It's my mother's family," Marika said, but her expression seemed quite unpleasant.

"Your relationship with your mother isn't good?" Yuuki asked.

"I can't call her my mother," Marika said while remembering her childhood. She suddenly felt that her head was patted by someone. "Yuuki-sama?"

"Well, we're here now. Let's just have fun," Yuuki said.

"Yes!" Marika smiled happily at him. She thought that she was very glad to bring him here.

"But my teacher will get angry at me after I have gone back." Yuuki sighed. He was sure that Hiratsuka would be very angry at him for skipping a lot of schools. He thought for a while and asked, "How is your school?"

"It's good," Marika said confidently.

"....."

"Really?" Yuuki was quite doubtful since he knew that Marika wasn't smart since she had spent all of her time to become a perfect bride.

"......"

Marika thought for a while and asked, "Yuuki-sama, you're a magician, right?"

"Yes. I have healed your body, right?" Yuuki said.

Marika nodded and said, "Yes. I am very thankful to Yuuki-sama for healing m--." She blushed at his actions but she also felt a bit confused.

Yuuki put his finger on her lips and said, "Don't add '-sama' to my name."

"Eh?"

"There are only two of us here." Yuuki got closer and said, "Calling me '-sama' makes me feel that we're not close enough."

Marika felt that her face was very hot.

"What about calling me 'dear'?" Yuuki smiled while saying that.

Marika thought that it was also a good chance and wanted to call him that since there were only both of them on this island.

Only she suddenly heard.

"I was joking." Yuuki rested his chin on his right hand while looking at her.

"Y - Yuuki-sama! Don't tease me!" Marika pouted.

"I am sorry. Don't get angry." Yuuki hugged her from behind since it had been a while since he had done this. He felt that it was at least 100 chapters or so the last time he had met her before.

Marika smiled and snuggled into him.

"So what do you want to ask me before?"

"That's right!" Marika turned and looked at him into his eyes. "Yuuki-sama! Can you use magic to make me smart?"

"........" Yuuki was speechless and asked, "Can I see the score of your test?"

"........" Marika seemed hesitant but decided to show him.

Yuuki saw her test score with a big "10" number on the score box. "......" He looked at Marika and asked, "Do you want me to make you smarter?"

"Yes!" Marika nodded and seemed quite excited when she thought that Yuuki could do that. She didn't want to study and only wanted to become a housewife for him.

"....." Yuuki had never done this before since no one had asked him. Even both Ranko and Yukana, who was quite dumb, didn't ask him to make them smart. He looked at Marika and asked, "Do you want me to do that?"

"Yes!" Marika nodded.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"But don't you think that is it better for me to teach you?" Yuuki asked.

"Eh?" Marika seemed surprised.

Yuuki took glasses and used it before saying, "Marika. Today, you need to learn about mathematics. I'll teach you for a few hours then we can enjoy our holiday." He gave her a professional smile as if he was a real teacher.

"......." Marika opened her mouth wide for a while before raising her hand excitedly. "Yes! Yuuki-sensei! Please teach me today!"

"Sure." Yuuki nodded.

Marika seemed excited and asked, "Yuuki-sense, can you teach me this lesson?" She took a book from her side and showed it to him.

"Hmm, what lesson is it?" Yuuki looked at the book and read it curiously. "Health and physical education?"

"......"

Yuuki was speechless and looked at Marika who seemed to have become a very eager student.

"How about we practice today?"
