Chapter 633 Do you like me that much?
Sumire felt her heartbeat increase at the thought. She shyly tugged on his shirt. “I feel like I am becoming silly. Do you like me that much, Yuhi?”At those words, Yuhi pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. “Damn,” Yuhi mumbled against her ear. “You must be doing this deliberately. Are you getting back at me for earlier? I thought you liked it.”
”I-I did.”
”Are you sure? I was too rough.”
”There is n-no need to describe it,” Sumire exclaimed. Just the mere mention of it makes her feel very embarrassed. How can Yuhi remain so composed while asking her that?
Composed? No that is wrong; she recalled his expression when they did that stuff. “Yuhi is also nervous?” She phrased it as a question, and for a moment, he was silent before nodding.
”Very nervous. What are you doing to me, Sumire?”
”Me?”
”As you know already, I have been with plenty of women. But none of them have affected me the way you have. Maybe you are some type of witch. Did you put a spell on me?”
Normally she would get jealous even at the brief mention of other women, but it is hard to feel that way now. Moreover, just now, what he said about a spell. It seems like even their thought process has become similar to one another.
They say that you eventually share traits with the person you live with. But these results are still surprising. Back when Yuhi was a member of the underworld organization Holy knights with her, they spent a lot of time together. The people around them started to point out how they have a similar thought processes.
She simply assumed it was natural since she wanted to learn from him, so subconsciously she started to behave in the same manner. But perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye.
”If I cast a spell on you, it would be to love me forever in this life and our next few lives. Love only me.”
Love only her, and maybe then she will – her thoughts broke off when she felt Yuhi’s hands on her back. “Your too needy,” Sumire mumbled. “Idiot.”
”Mm, you feel tense. I want you to relax.”
”Are you sure you’re not doing this because you’re needy?”
Yuhi laughed. “Perhaps a bit of both.” He trailed off. “But your also needy, aren’t you, Sumire?”
”That’s because you keep doing weird things to me. Ah, I missed the days before you corrupted me.”
”Before, huh? I seem to have read a certain diary stating how much you checked me out-“
Sumire felt her cheeks burn when she heard him say those words. H-he, really read it! That day, she did think somebody had touched her diary. But when she thought about the only ones which could have, she felt ashamed. If Ru read it, then he would know how weird she is, and if Yuhi did, if the subject of the diary contents did-
Yuhi laughed, disturbing her mini-panic. He nuzzled his forehead against hers. “It’s fine; you know I found it cute.”
Sumire puffed her cheeks into a pout. “You may find that cute, but it was very embarrassing for me.”
”I know.”
She stopped sulking when she saw the gentle look in his eyes. He makes it so hard for her to get mad at him.
The two of them have truly come a long way. Almost an entire year has passed since she came to Tokyo. Sumire would never have thought that she would end up dating Yuhi. She came here intending to destroy those people who harmed Ru. But at some point, she strayed from her goal and focused on living a normal life with the one she loves.
She can no longer get distracted, however. Now that she has returned to the entertainment industry, now that she is working towards her dream again. She has to be stronger and more determined than ever before. Otherwise, those people will crush everything she holds dear.
’I wonder how Yuhi would react if he knew what she is doing in the shadows.’
Even though she told him they would work together, there are still many secrets she is keeping from him. There is a limit to how much she will allow his help. If Yuhi ever gets close to that dangerous line, she will ensure that he quickly withdraws.
He already got close, that attack in the forest, being chased by beasts and getting hurt. Her gaze dimmed at the memory. How dare they attack Yuhi so boldly?
Clearly, she is the target, but she still does not understand why. Sano does not seem to have any information on this either. It is still a mystery what that Lucifer man wants with her. But one thing is for sure; he is obsessed with her.
The Ibuki family manor was burning that day; that day, she saw somebody cloaked in darkness. Due to her inhaling the fumes, however, she could not be sure if what she saw was an illusion or not.
But after seeing his face not too long ago, ‘it’s familiar.’ That man Lucifer, she has met him somewhere else before. Somewhere a long time ago.
Unfortunately, she cannot openly investigate him. She sent Eli over to act as a spy. But even Eli will struggle to obtain information or get close to that man. For now, she ought to be satisfied with the information she has, but recently she felt uneasy.
Yuhi kept patting her back, and a content sigh escaped her lips. “You are right, Yuhi; this is relaxing.”
”That’s good. I know you stressed about the entertainment industry and many other stuff. But at least when your with me, take this opportunity to relax.”
”-and do weird things?” Sumire tilted her to one side innocently.
This caused Yuhi’s face to turn red again, and she laughed.
”Hey, don’t mess with me so much.”
”I am not doing anything Yuhi. You’re the one misinterpreting all my words.”
”Isn’t it your fault that I am doing that?” Yuhi leaned forward. “Or do you want to do what we did during Christmas so badly? I don’t mind, it was nice, and you liked it, right?”
Uh, hold on, time out, even if she did like it. She would die of embarrassment if they did that again, especially since she started to have weird thoughts.
Her thoughts towards Terashima Yuhi were never normal, even when she was fifteen and they were partners in the holy knight’s group. But, it did not take her long to realize how corrupted her mindset was.
The reason she likes Yuhi isn’t because he is handsome; him being handsome is just a bonus.
Her thoughts broke off when he suddenly pulled away and moved her away from him. “Yuhi?”
”Let’s go to the rooftop for a bit.”
Sumire nodded. Despite her confusion, she did not miss the serious look on his face. Right now, what is this person thinking?
