Chapter 77(1/2)
Furukawa Kumisa didn't know which was more outrageous: "Being hugged by Akai Shuichi" or "Akai Shuichi gained 10 points of favorable impression of her as soon as they met her".
The man who hugged her tightly had a hard body. When she bumped head-on into his chest, his strong muscles made the bridge of her nose sore.
Furukawa Kumisa's thinking was short-circuited for a second under the impact of two things, and then he struggled subconsciously, but Akai Shuichi tightly clamped the resisting arm, hoisted it into his arms and wrapped him tightly.
The restrained upper body couldn't move, so Furukawa Kumisa stretched out his legs to kick him. Unexpectedly, Akai Shuichi seemed to have predicted her movements in advance, and used his hands to push her towards the wall, and then pressed her whole body.
He came up, suppressed her struggling limbs, and pinned her whole body to the wall.
The space in the carriage was already small, and they were fighting against the wall. Shuichi Akai trapped her whole body in the wall and his arms with little effort.
Akai Shuichi was very tall, and Furukawa Kumisa was caged in his huge shadow. The tip of his nose was filled with the familiar and unfamiliar smell that belonged to Akai Shuichi, and he felt that his whole body was about to be suffocated.
She became furious: "Akai Shuichi——"
"Congratulations to the host. The target of the attack, Shuichi Akai, has increased his favorability with the host by 1 point."
Furukawa Kumisa:......???
The roar on her lips was interrupted by the system's beep, and she almost couldn't catch her breath.
What made her even more suffocated was the sudden movement of Akai Shuichi's forehead.
She was already trapped in the gap between the wall and Akai Shuichi, but now Akai Shuichi lowered his head and directly touched her forehead. Such close contact made the hairs on her body stand up.
However, Akai Shuichi didn't seem to notice her resistance. He trapped her in his arms so tightly, with their limbs touching each other and holding her with their foreheads touching. There was something in his green eyes that Furukawa Kumisa couldn't understand.
Light.
"I am so happy."
——She heard Akai Shuichi say this.
Furukawa Kumisa:???
Akai Shuichi was close to her body, and when he spoke, his hot breath sprayed on her cheeks. Furukawa Kumisa subconsciously wanted to turn his head to avoid it.
Akai Shuichi did not give her this chance. He freed up one hand to hold her chin, using a force that was not considered coercive, but just right to prevent her from moving.
"I'm so happy." He looked at the person in his arms and repeated in a caring tone.
"——You recognized me and you are still willing to come to me. I am so happy."
Furukawa Kumisa yelled: "You are sick!"
"Congratulations to the host. The target of the attack, Shuichi Akai, has increased his favorability with the host by 1 point."
Furukawa Kumisa:…………????
No, are you a pervert?
Furukawa Kumisa did not curse out these words. She deeply doubted that even if she said it, the other party would favor her.
Her mood suddenly became complicated.
Logically speaking, now that she was being pinned against the wall by her "murderer" and tampering with her, she should be extremely angry and wish she could just rush up and die with him.
——The premise is that the other party will not favor you even if you disagree.
From the moment they met until now, Akai Shuichi's favor has been recorded as if it were free of charge. She has traveled through five guide worlds, and she has never seen any scene (crossed out). She has never seen this scene.
In her complicated mood, her physical struggle unconsciously weakened a bit.
"Congratulations to the host. The target of the attack, Shuichi Akai, has increased his favorability with the host by 1 point."
Furukawa Kumisa:……
No, can she gain a favorable impression even without saying anything?
Furukawa Kumisa was completely confused, but Akai Shuichi didn't know what she understood from her "forgetting the struggle". The joy in his eyes was even brighter, and a pair of dark green pupils almost glowed in the dark night - which made her feel scary.
That kind of.
A smile overflowed from his throat, and he tilted his head and pecked Furukawa Kumisa's cheek: "I'm so happy."
Furukawa Kumisa:...You ride on a horse!!
The anger of being eaten one after another was completely built up and exploded. Furukawa Kumisa stared angrily: "Akai Shuichi, you go to hell!!"
"Congratulations to the host. The target of the attack, Shuichi Akai, has increased his favorability with the host by 1 point."
Furukawa Kumisa:……
Before she could recover from this favorability reminder, Shuichi Akai in front of her spoke.
He was still looking at her with that lingering look that made Furukawa Kumisa feel uncomfortable all over. In her almost fiery gaze, his expression darkened, and the bright color in his pupils also dimmed a bit, and then he spoke in a deep voice.
"good."
Furukawa Kumisa:???
Furukawa Kumisa:……
"Help, the system, is Shuichi Akai broken? What on earth is he thinking??"
The system has been blocked for a long time by Furukawa Kumisa: "...I don't know, don't ask me, if it's broken, it's you who broke it."
Furukawa Kumisa: "?? He was the one who killed me!! It was his turn to be ruined by me!!"
After traveling through the world of strategy for so long, Furukawa Kumisa felt for the first time that his brain was not enough.
——She really didn’t understand what Akai Shuichi was thinking at this moment.
Akai Shuichi over there didn't know what she was thinking, or if she really took Furukawa Kumisa's words of "go to hell" seriously - it is true that she really wanted him to die.
He even relaxed his grip on Furukawa Kumisa a lot, and his tone was low but extremely firm: "If this is what you want."
Akai Shu paused for a moment, and his tone became a bit heavy: "But I hope you give me some time - after I finish everything I need to do, I can do whatever you want."
Furukawa Kumisa:……
Although I don’t quite understand what he is talking about…did Shuichi Akai just say that she could kill him?
——There is such a good thing?! You establish a written record!!
The system that had just calmed down exploded in an instant: "Stop your mind!! Didn't you realize that Akai Shuichi's current mood is wrong?!"
"I discovered it, but what does it have to do with me?" Furukawa Kumisa replied confidently, "Kill him while he is sick!"
system:……
At the moment Furukawa Kumisa stopped struggling, the system prompt sounded again.
"Congratulations to the host. The target of the attack, Shuichi Akai, has increased his favorability with the host by 1 point."
System: ...It’s over. It feels that both the host and Shuichi Akai are broken.
Akai Shuichi also felt like he was going bad at this moment - the happy bad kind.
Ever since he confirmed "Kumisa Furukawa is Natafi" a few hours ago, he has been in an inexplicable state of ecstasy.
——She is still alive, she still exists in this world.
This is the best news Akai Shuichi has ever received in his life.
He didn't want to investigate why she was still alive and why so many unreasonable things happened after her "death" - there was nothing in the world that surprised him more than learning that his deceased lover was actually alive. Apart from that,
He doesn't care about anything else.
Since then, his mind has been in a strange mixture of "excited" and "sober".
Excited to learn that his lover came back from the dead.
Think clearly about how to approach her.
Tortured by such strange emotions, he tossed and turned on the bed, repeatedly drawing up countless plans to get close to Furukawa Kumisa, but he dismissed them one by one.
While Akai Shuichi was tossing and turning, he heard movement outside.
He had to admit that Furukawa Kumisa's stealth method was very clever, but it was no match for Akai Shuichi's sixth sense, which was always on the edge of crisis.
Upon closer inspection, this is actually a bit similar to Haihara Ai's "organizational radar". He can instinctively predict some dangerous atmospheres.
Especially, the aura is so sharp and obvious.
——The kind that is full of malice and wants to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin.
Akai Shuichi boasted that he was not really dazzled by joy. He was instantly startled, then held Berry Tower tightly, got out of bed, and lurked at the door.
But when the moonlight shone into the carriage and allowed him to clearly see the figure opposite, he felt that he was still dizzy after all.
Intense joy rushed to his head and flowed through his limbs along with his blood, even making his limbs numb with excitement.
——She came, she came to find herself, and she stood in front of her.
She just stood in front of him alive and called out her name.
All the subsequent actions were almost as instinctive for Akai Shuichi - he almost felt that he completed those actions unconsciously.
He hugged her into his arms like crazy, and wrapped her tightly between his arms with a force that almost rubbed her into his body.
That was his lover, the lover he missed with regret, and now he is standing in front of him alive, leaning in his arms.
He couldn't help but get close to her and hug her. Just the touch of skin against skin made him tremble with excitement.
