Chapter 258: Kirishima Shouko’s feelings
The two of them left the crowd at the Sumida River.
Finally, Shouko took Akira to an abandoned building not too far away. Then they both climbed the stairs and arrived on the roof.
"Is it okay to come without permission?" Akira asked casually.
"No problem, this is one of my father's business buildings that has gone bankrupt." Shouko explained briefly.
The Kirishima family is an upper-class family with a fortune of hundreds of millions of yen. Even though it couldn't be compared to the Shinomiya conglomerate and the Kujo conglomerate, they were better than an ordinary household.
"What was this place before?"
"Father used to open a toy shop, but went bankrupt because of the monetary crisis."
"I see."
Akira stopped asking. Now he knew what to talk about.
The two of them stood at the edge of the guardrail, and waited for the fireworks display.
The silence was very awkward.
"Mhmmm... Shouko, are you not angry anymore?"
"According to Akira, how?"
Shouko's expressionless face stared at Akira.
"That... Since you asked me to the festival, it should be fine, right?"
"..."
Shouko didn't answer, but pinched his waist in response.
"Ah, you are still angry." Akira smiled wryly.
Retracting her hand, Shouko stared at the night view of the river in front of her.
"If I say I'm not a virgin, how will Akira react?"
Akira's body trembled, his smile disappeared and his teeth were tightly clenched.
Seeing him like that, Shouko smiled faintly.
"Uncomfortable, right? That's the feeling I felt when I heard your confession at that time. Don't worry, that was a lie just now."
"Ahahaha.... Your jokes are too bad, Shouko."
Feeling relieved in his heart, Akira gave a dry laugh.
His emotions were almost out of control when he heard that Shouko was no longer a virgin. He wanted to tear that man apart.
Knowing that his childhood friend has been taken by another man, Akira feels uneasy.
"I'm sure Miharu also feels the same way. She and I are different, her feelings don't change, even though she knows Akira is playing with other women. But no matter how many times I try to convince myself, I don't want to share you with another woman."
Shouko's statement was technically an indirect admission. She knew there was no way Akira had not realized her feelings all along.
"Haaa... I'm sorry... Sorry for being an unfaithful man." Akira sighed and apologized to her.
Shouko shook her head and gripped his hand tighter.
"Ever since I was a kid, I have been aware of Akira's playboy attitude. Even so, I'm still in a relationship with you and hope to turn you into a good man. Unfortunately, I failed."
"Shouko, I-"
"It's hard for me to accept, but... Akira, you're so amazing, you're too amazing. So I'm afraid to limit you."
Shouko let go of Akira's hand and rubbed his face.
"Somehow, even though I'm always with you, I always feel that the distance between you and me is like a deep abyss. Sometimes I even feel like our relationship isn't that real."
Akira didn't expect Shouko to feel that way. He must say, female intuition is the most magical thing in the world. Although he didn't reveal his true strength, she could faintly feel it.
The faces of the two are getting closer, looking into each other's eyes, and as if they are going to kiss at any moment.
"Why did you suddenly say that..." Akira spoke in a deep voice.
With a loving look in her eyes, Shouko spoke while yawning on Akira's handsome face: "Akira is so amazing, I want to limit you. Since you have feelings for someone else, please don't let her down."
"At least I feel your feelings for me, that's enough, right?"
OK, I understand."
Akira closed his eyes and held Shouko's hand.
He got the point. Simply put, she accepts that he's hooking up with another girl.
It was a difficult decision for Shouko, considering she is a conservative woman.
Compared to not being with the man she likes, she is willing to compromise. She chose feelings over logic.
As the old saying goes, love can lower a woman's IQ.
"Thank you, Shouko. Thank you for liking a jerk like me."
Akira pressed his forehead against Shouko's.
Like other Reincarnators and Transmigrators, one of his dreams is to build a harem.
If it were in his previous life, it wouldn't have been possible because he was just an ordinary person.
But the people chosen as Reincarnators and Transmigrators were different.
They have a cheat device that will take them to peaks in life that ordinary people cannot reach in a lifetime.
Akira is no exception, his cheat kit is the Myriad Anime Sign-in System, which will grant items or abilities from various anime once every year.
In the past, his mindset was still that of an ordinary man. However, as time went by, and his contact with many heroines increased, his ambition slowly grew.
Now he doesn't want to let go of any woman close to him.
"Even if I give you permission, don't mingle with other girls in front of me." Shouko reminded him in a cold tone.
"Sure." Akira nodded.
They held hands, their eyes fixed upward, waiting for the moment to look forward to. And finally, the fireworks show started.
*🎇*
*🎇*
*🎇*
*🎇*
First of all, tiny lights appeared in the sky, like shooting stars slowly filling the space with soft colors. Beautiful colorful light exploded in the sky.
Bright pink and yellow fireworks form in a graceful pattern.
Shouko stared at them with wide open eyes, a look of awe on her face.
"Akira, look how pretty!" Shouko whispered in a voice full of admiration. Now their relationship has been confirmed. In her eyes, the fireworks looked even more beautiful than usual.
Akira just smiled, his eyes fixated on the ever changing colorful light. He pulled Shouko closer, they were only a few centimeters apart.
"Shouko, I like you, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes, I like you too, Akira."
While the fireworks lit up the sky with dazzling light, Akira and Shouko couldn't hold back their feelings. Time seemed to stop at that moment. Shouko grabbed Akira's face gently, and without saying anything, they kissed each other under the sparkling light.
*👩❤️💋👨*
The fireworks get more intense, creating a dramatic backdrop for their moment.
When their kiss ended, they only paused for a moment, their eyes meeting in a knowing silence. Their hands remained clasped together, and their hearts pounded as the fireworks exploded in the unforgettable night sky.
"Don't ever leave me, Akira." Shouko whispered softly.
"Never... I may not be a loyal man, but I will make sure that you are always happy and never regret your decision." Akira patted her head while smiling.
"Promise?"
Shouko stretched out her little finger.
"I promise."
Without hesitation, Akira linked his pinky finger with her.
Then the two of them continued kissing, this time more intensely than before.
*👩❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👨*
