Chapter 171 Proof of Love
Chapter 171 Proof of Love
After school.
Kohinata Motoyo said she wanted to leave school with Kagura Hikaru, but he turned her down on the pretext that he had to go to work for the Disciplinary Committee.
Of course, this was a lie—the main reason was that he had a date with Ayakoji Chiyoko after school today, and he couldn't let Kohinata Motoyo tag along and interfere.
Only after confirming that she had left school did Kagura Hikaru leave with Ayakoji Chiyoko from the Disciplinary Committee room.
"I always feel like we're sneaking around," said Ayakoji Chiyoko, unable to help herself from complaining, "in the end, why do we have to care about that woman's feelings? We should just tell her outright!"
"Haven't I told you that's not possible right now?" Kagura Hikaru sighed, "We've already discussed this in the morning."
"But when the rule against dating at school is scrapped, and we go public with our relationship, won't it be the same result then?"
"It's different. This period of time is very important."
"...Alright, I trust you."
Ayakoji Chiyoko put the matter aside—there was still a long way to go until that time, and what she should really focus on now was something else.
"Hey, where should a couple go on a date? I looked it up, and online they say to go to haunted houses, amusement parks, swimming pools, and stuff like that."
"Are you interested in haunted houses and amusement parks?"
"Not really," Ayakoji Chiyoko thought for a moment, "If I had to choose, a haunted house would be better. Their makeup is quite interesting."
Interesting makeup?
Kagura Hikaru shook his head, unable to fathom Ayakoji Chiyoko's peculiar train of thought.
"Haunted houses are mostly located in amusement parks, so in essence, the two choices are pretty much the same."
"Right, then let's pass on that," said Ayakoji Chiyoko, "that just leaves the swimming pool."
Indeed, it was summertime, and a dip in the pool to cool off didn't seem like a bad idea.
"Do you have a swimsuit?" asked Kagura Hikaru.
Ayakoji Chiyoko thought for a moment, "The school swimsuit should be fine, right? The one I wore for sports day."
Kagura Hikaru eyed her up and down.
The sight of Ayakoji Chiyoko's explosive figure surrounded by onlookers at the swimming competition during sports day was still vivid in his mind.
"Maybe we should forget about it," he turned away.
"Why?"
"You're too conspicuous in a swimsuit."
"Huh?"
Ayakoji Chiyoko looked at Kagura Hikaru's expression, suddenly realizing, and let out a sneaky chuckle as she leaned close to his ear, "Are you jealous?"
"?"
"You don't want other men to see my body, right? Tsk tsk, the possessiveness of boys."
"Let's just say that's the case," Kagura Hikaru didn't argue, "What about it? Does it disgust you?"
"No... of course not."
Ayakoji Chiyoko turned away with a slight blush on her cheeks and began absent-mindedly toying with her hair, hands behind her back.
Actually, it's not just boys who can be possessive—girls are too, and strongly so.
She didn't want other women ogling Kagura Hikaru's body beneath his clothes either. Just the thought of it made her feel frustrated inside. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
During the previous sports day, there were some stealthily taken photos of Kagura Hikaru circulating on the school forum. Ayakoji Chiyoko used some means to have the news department people take down those posts, as well as her own swimming competition photos.
Since they started dating, Ayakoji Chiyoko had found herself becoming unexpectedly conservative.
She cared about how others looked at her, feeling that if she didn't act properly, it might reflect poorly on her boyfriend or even cause Kagura Hikaru to dislike her.
The thought of using a swimsuit to get votes, as she had considered before, now struck her as unbelievable.
She had no regrets, but she didn't want to do it anymore.
Her body should only be seen by Kagura Hikaru; she only wanted Kagura Hikaru to see it.
Being seen by him made her happy; being seen by others just felt disgusting.
Conversely, if she could see Kagura Hikaru in his swimwear, maybe even touch him, Ayakoji Chiyoko was confident she would nosebleed on the spot.
It's not only boys who desire girls; girls have desires too, perhaps even stronger than boys.
Even now, walking down the corridor of the old school building, Ayakoji Chiyoko was fighting the urge to just throw herself at him.
But to avoid being disliked, she managed to restrain herself.
If she embraced him now, they would definitely be seen by other students, and her image as a candidate for election would be ruined. She didn't want to see Kagura Hikaru upset.
She had waited six years to meet Kagura Hikaru again, and her desire to cherish him was stronger than anyone could understand.
If they were to be intimate, it was best done in private, somewhere with no one around...
"How about the café we went to last time? The atmosphere was pretty nice there," Kagura Hikaru said while checking his phone.
"Mm, mm..."
"Ayakoji?"
"Eh?"
```
Not good, I really want to be close to my boyfriend, I can't think of anything else!
Ayakoji Chiyoko's mind was a complete mess.
As they just happened to step outside the old school building, seeing their school's courtyard that was outstanding enough to be jokingly called 'a small forest park,' an idea suddenly came to her.
"Let's go to the courtyard."
"?"
"That's where we'll have our date."
"At school? Are you sure?"
"Yes, as long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we go."
Kagura Hikaru was shook to the core.
What a love-struck statement that was.
If it were the Ayakoji Chiyoko of the past, she would never have said something like that.
The two of them headed to the school's vending machine area to buy some snacks and two drinks, to enjoy during their date, then they set off for their usual spot.
After school, the courtyard became very quiet. The weather was also nice today, with the sun shining brightly and a gentle breeze blowing.
The spot they chose was even more secluded, with only the sight of beautiful maple trees and no sign of people, as if they were truly in some green park.
They brushed off the maple leaves from the bench, took seats on opposite sides, and placed the snacks in the middle.
Ding ding~
At that moment, Kagura Hikaru's phone pinged once.
He glanced at his phone.
Kiryu Hina:[Where are you now?]
Kagura Hikaru:[In the courtyard.]
He thought nothing of it, replied casually to the text, and put the phone away.
Just as he turned his head back, Kagura Hikaru caught sight of Ayakoji Chiyoko moving the snacks to the other side of the bench, then scooting over closer to him.
"What's up?" he asked curiously.
"I want to be closer to you." Ayakoji Chiyoko scratched her cheek with her finger, facing another direction, but her hand stealthily reached out to hold Kagura Hikaru's.
The scent of a girl varies from person to person.
Contrary to her strict image, Ayakoji Chiyoko had a sweet fragrance about her, like candy or cake with her own scent.
"Hey, Kagura..."
"Yeah?"
"Do you like me?"
"I do."
"Really?"
"Yeah..."
Ayakoji Chiyoko smiled happily and turned her head, "Then, prove it to me."
She leaned in closer and closed her eyes.
Her pretty face was flushed with color.
In that moment, even the dullest of men would understand what she meant.
If he went through with this, there would be no turning back.
Kagura Hikaru fixed his gaze on her soft, mushy lips, inhaling her sweet scent.
He kissed her gently.
On the other side, Kiryu Hina was running.
"Mister Hikaru, Mister Hikaru... why didn't you tell me!"
She was berating her ex-boyfriend and herself as well.
Recalling the things Ai Cheng Hua Lian had revealed to her in the Student Council office, her heart felt like it was being torn apart.
Although Kagura Hikaru had only said he was in the courtyard, Kiryu Hina knew what he meant; he would only be there.
Finally, she arrived, and caught sight of Kagura Hikaru's silhouette seated on the bench.
Kiryu Hina's face brightened up.
"Hikaru—"
Suddenly, she lost her voice.
On the bench, there wasn't just him; Ayakoji Chiyoko was there too.
Their heads were close together.
They were kissing.
