Chapter 37: Faith
Mugi?!
The sudden pressure on my cheeks made me wonder for a moment what had happened.
Ufufu. Masa-kun, you are making a strange face.
Chinatsu-chan was laughing at an unexpectedly close distance.
She had both hands plucking my cheeks. She pushed, pulled, stretched and played with them in various directions.
What the hell is this? I was confused and Chinatsu-chan was doing whatever she wanted to do to me.
. hey Masa-kun.
h-ywah?
Chinatsu-chans hand moved away from me. I was puzzled a moment ago, but when her warmth finally left me, I felt lonely.
Is that really such a big deal?
Eh?
She smiled gently.
If Masa-kun was there at that time, did you think I would be angry at you for why you didnt help me?
Because
The girl I liked was in a tough spot and I did nothing about it. On the contrary, I turned it into an opportunity for myself. Thats because its true.
Masa-kun, you are more serious than I thought.
S-Serious?
Yes. So serious that youre worried about such things.. but theres something cute about it
C-Cute!?
I feel like Ive been told something that didnt make me happy as a man.
This time she held my hand. My hands were sweating profusely due to my nervousness, and I felt sorry for her.
But she didnt seem to be bothered by this and looked me straight in the eye.
Ive been helped a lot by you, Masa-kun. I cant thank you enough for listening to me when I was having a hard time, and for putting your body on the line to help me when I was in danger. I cant thank you enough for everything youve done for me.
So Therefore, she continued.
There is no need for you to worry about anything, Masa-kun. We werent even lovers at that time. You should not blame yourself like that, saying that you absolutely had to help me. Besides, even if you had come in to help, I dont think Kentaro would have listened to you at that time.
Indeed, considering Osakos outburst the other day, if I had left without a plan, I might have only agitated him even more.
Then, Chinatsu-chan? will you forgive me?
L I K E I said, theres nothing to forgive. Rather than that, Masa-kun, your responsibility lies somewhere else.
E-elsewhere?
Was there anything else that Id done to take responsibility? I couldnt think of anything else.
When I asked her, Chinatsu-chans face turned bright red and she answered bashfully.
I-Im going to make you take the responsibilityfor making me fall in love with you, okay?
Since Chinatsu-chan said such a thing with an upturned gaze, my face suddenly became hot.
Because of her, I was saved.
I really dont want to betray you, Chinatsu-chan. I sincerely want you to be happy.
Ill definitely take responsibility. Ill make Chinatsu-chan happy.
Ehhhhh!?
When I expressed my determination, for some reason Chinatsu-chan let out a strange voice. It was a cute voice.
Whats wrong, Chinatsu-chan?
Then it sounds like a p-proposal.
I couldnt quite hear her voice as she turned her head down.
But she didnt hate me. Thats enough for me.
Im glad I was honest with Chinatsu-chan. Thanks to her, all the rancor in my heart had been cleared away.
Thank you, Chinatsu-chan.
Ah
I put my hand on Chinatsu-chans chin and made her look up.
A face dyed in vermilion. When I was reflected in Chinatsu-chans eyes, her eyes relaxed.
Because I really love you be prepared
N~n.
We kissed.
A kiss that made me feel like I was drowning deeper and deeper. It felt hot and sweet and mingled with her.
Puha. Hah hah .
The moment our lips parted, I regained my breathing as if I had remembered.
My head was foggy. There was only Chinatsu-chan in my field of vision.
Her face approached. I could no longer determine which way she was approaching.
NnnNnn~~..Chiyu~~
They kissed again as they sought each other. Again and again, they sought each other.
*****
I took Chinatsu-chan home. All that remained was to return home.
Her steps were light as she headed home as if she had grown wings.
Fufufu..
My facial muscles were not doing their job properly. I was aware that I looked as if I couldnt look in the mirror.
But thats okay. Chinatsu-chan likes me. Not only that, she healed my troubled heart.
Cute and kind Chinatsu-chan. I decided that I would always believe in her.
Whats that ?
At the corner of a residential area. There was a small park.
The park only had a slide and a sandbox. Not enough for a childrens playground, I guess.
Kentaaro is amazing!
Kentaaros castle is so big!
In the sandbox of such a small park, Osako was playing with kids.
