"Cough cough cough..."

At first, Takichi felt embarrassed about the content of this paragraph. Can this kind of thing be said without any pressure on such an occasion?

"This kind of joke isn't funny at all, is it?" Taki wiped his lips and whispered.

"It's not a joke, it's something that really happened." Hitomi Honda said seriously.

"Who made Taki-san's figure so good that even a girl would want to touch it? Otherwise, why would SANA-chan do those weird behaviors?"

"Really? But I think most girls wouldn't do that, right?"

Takiichi used a calm tone as much as possible and turned the topic in a normal direction.

"Really? Maybe it's because they are braver? After physical contact, they want to get closer."

After speaking, she paused for a moment, then lowered her head sadly.

"But I stopped it because I didn't like to see that happen."

Takichi deliberately avoided certain sensitive words, "Yeah~~ I know, Hitomi, you are not that kind of person, right?"

"Because I think what they do will make you feel uneasy and embarrassed, Taki-san. It's a kind of disrespect to you."

She suddenly sat up and looked up straight at Takiichi.

"Sakura's departure made us all realize the preciousness of Taki-san. Since she has no vision and is unwilling to continue to protect..." Her reaction shocked Takichi, and he gradually fell into a trance.

It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced a similar confession scene, but every time I witness this kind of realization appearing in different people.

"I'm sorry...I can't do it right now."

At this moment, because of the words he suddenly heard, Takiichi's eyes seemed to be thrown into the lake surface of a huge stone, and the lines of water flow flickered.

The next moment, it turned into calm because the stone was swallowed up.

Honda Hitomi lowered her head, inadvertently clenching her fists and slowly unclenching them, and she said softly.

"I know that Taki-san still has a little nostalgia for Sakura in his heart, even if this nostalgia is very weak."

"Hmm~~"

"However, it is because of his devotion to Sakura that Taki-san becomes even more attractive.

There are too many people who like you, Taki-san, but this cannot be compared with some things.

Taki-san should understand this feeling, right? It's a pity that Sakura didn't keep it properly."

Takiichi said "Yeah", his face still filled with a sad smile.

"I'm used to it, maybe because of my gratitude and attachment to her.

So sometimes I know that her feelings for us are far less important than her career, but I still do something for her."

At this time, maybe in some places, some people are sympathizing with him in their hearts.

Everyone can see that the lifestyles of Takiichi and Sakura have changed a lot since they separated.

"It's great, we often envy Sakura." Hitomi Honda said enviously.

"There's nothing to envy about this." Taki picked up the cup, opened his lips, and blew away the steaming heat.

He tried to take a sip, but gave up because it was too hot.

"Isn't it natural to do what you want and are willing to do for the person you like or love deeply?"

"Is that so?" She truly showed her envy and surprise reaction.

"But why don't the significant others of the friends I meet achieve the level of Taki-san?

If I were to list them one by one, I would not be able to finish all the things I have seen Taki-san do for Sakura this year alone until tomorrow."

"Perhaps this is because your friends only regard love as a tool to solve loneliness and physical needs?"

Takiichi pointed out the current attitude of many students in Sakura Country towards love.

Being able to welcome love from junior high school to elementary school, and school teachers and parents do not object, has created a very open attitude towards love among many people in this era.

I am so enlightened that the duration of a relationship is very short, and then they break up for various weird reasons.

"You're talking about coveting the other person's body and wanting to sleep with the other person, so that's why you're dating, right?"

Hitomi Honda bravely stretched out her hand, took one of Takiichi's fingers and stroked it back and forth.

"Just like Nako did to Taki-san, there were many times when she wanted to be more affectionate towards you, but had to give up due to some factors."

"Maybe it's because you like it so much that sometimes you can't control it, right?"

The kiss with Nako on the platform came to mind at this time, and her behavior at that time just proved what she said.

"So Taki-san is like Nako sometimes?"

"Huh? Nani?"

"It means coveting the body of the person you like and wanting to own or possess it."

Hitomi Honda bared her two fangs, leaned forward harder and said to him.

"As Taki-san said before, some people only use love as a tool to solve loneliness and physical needs? How did Taki-san have such a mentality when it comes to people he likes?"

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Disgusting! I don't want Taki-san to be like that..."

Hitomi Honda sat back and swung her legs, "Although Taki-san's love for Sakura is obvious to all, I believe Taki-san is different from those boys who are full of dirty thoughts."

"I almost got messed up by what you said~~"

The so-called concept of coveting a lover's body exists to some extent in everyone who is enjoying the sweetness brought by love. Takiichi does not deny that he has had such a side.

But this kind of mentality is acceptable and understandable as long as the two parties are lovers.

If there is no such relationship, it is purely driven by desire.

Who does this girl want to think of herself as?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with her anyway.

Perhaps the average male will show helplessness or trouble when encountering someone who is not regarded as a bad person, but it can be said that Takiichi's advantage is to quickly digest such boring things.

At this moment, Takiichi accidentally caught a glimpse of Honda Hitomi's slender fingers on the coffee cup, which reminded him of Sakura.

The last day he saw Sakura, Takiichi grabbed Sakura's hand when she almost fell down the stone stairs of the overpass.

In this way, that action became one of the only skin-to-skin contacts between him and Sakura that day.

He looked down at his hand held by Honda Hitomi, and the touch left behind at that time was almost gone.

However, he did feel the same level of fright at that time, and Takichi felt lucky that he reached out his hand at the critical moment to save Sakura from being hurt again.

Sakura's slender wrists and her skin, which was only slightly warm but very soft, became the last touch that was engraved in my heart that I didn't want to forget.

"What a pity~~" Honda Hitomi's long-lost sigh interrupted his relaxation.

She stroked Taki Yi's hand again and again and examined it carefully.

I even want to clasp the gaps on each finger and take good care of them.

"However, I will not give up."

This hand reached up to Takiichi's arm, and the strong muscles inside could be felt just through the clothes.
