Chapter 96
The fight between Tsukasa and Touka shook the whole house, and it was so intense that they left many marks on their house.
Whether it was their new room, kitchen, bathroom, stairs, or living room, they were left with their marks.
Tsukasa wanted to mark the garden too, but Touka wasn’t ready for the outdoor play, so they only stayed indoors.
While their actions seemed questionable, it might be a physiological instinct as an animal to leave their marks on their territories that made them do this.
When their battle ended, Touka lost as she lay on his chest, and the two lay in the main bedroom together.
There was five-room inside this house, and it would be a perfect house if they built a family with two children in the future.
However, if Tsukasa added Kanata, Nene, Stella, and even Kagami, he felt that this house was small.
Still, it was alright since Tsukasa planned to get this house for Touka.
It was also the reason why he was quite frugal before since this house wasn’t cheap, especially when it was located in Tokyo.
While the land was expensive, the house’s security was also quite expensive.
They lived in a dangerous world with many Blazers who had strange and unique abilities.
It was also the reason why Tsukasa loved to live in the countryside instead of the town since those Blazers’ ability was troublesome that they might commit many strange crimes and to protect the security of his house, he splurged his money on the most sophisticated and advanced technology.
Still, that thing wasn’t important, and what was important was the result of their battle was that Tsukasa had won once again.
“Still, I never expected you would buy that at the convenience store,” Tsukasa said speechlessly.
“Bu-But we need to prepare for it, right? After all, your need in that area is…” Touka blushed since she knew how strong this guy was.
While his magic was only F-Rank, his recovery was SSS-Rank.
Touka bought a box of condoms with ten packs of condoms inside, but all of them had ended up being used by Tsukasa. They even did it raw since they still wanted to do it more.
Tsukasa also somehow understood why he would meet Touka at the convenience store, which was located far away from the academy.
While there was a convenience store inside the academy, there was no way that Touka would buy condoms there, right?
Not that there was even one, to begin with anyway.
Probably.
“Next time, leave this to me. I have a hospital, and it’s easy for me to get them,” Tsukasa said helplessly after feeling he had lost a few years of his life before.
“Okay~~.” Touka meekly agreed.
“What’s wrong? You seem to want to tell me something,” Tsukasa suddenly said.
“Well…” Touka hesitated for a moment, then said, “Tsukasa, I’ll make a confession right now.”
“Confession?”
“Yes.” Touka nodded and asked, “Can you listen to me and not hate me?”
“Okay.” Tsukasa nodded calmly, then listened to Touka’s confession, but frankly, he was quite surprised since this pure and clumsy young woman would tell him that she went to pick him up secretly at the airport without telling Kanata even though Kanata was excited to meet him too.
Touka did this, so she could monopolize him, and she was successful.
While Touka didn’t plan to have sex in their meeting right away, she had planned to confess to him since she wanted him to be her.
It was sneaky, and because of this, she had always felt guilty toward Kanata.
After all, Touka also knew what Kanata felt toward Tsukasa.
“I-I feel nasty somehow,” Touka said, feeling regret when she didn’t think about Kanata’s feeling at all.
Listening to Tsukasa’s story before, while Touka wasn’t sure how Kanata was feeling toward her engagement, she felt disgusted if she was told to marry someone she didn’t love.
“You’re not nasty. It’s something normal,” Tsukasa said.
“Normal?” Touka was confused.
“You love me, and I love you. In case there’s also someone other than me who is falling for you, I’ll also do the same thing, so you’ll become mine. There’s even a saying that all’s fair in love and war, right?” Tsukasa caressed Touka’s head and said, “So you don’t need to feel guilty since I’m also happy to have you.”
“Tsukasa…” Touka hugged Tsukasa tightly, but she asked, “But this has nothing to do with your date with Kanata-chan, right?”
“…”
Touka looked at Tsukasa and said, “Tsukasa, while I’m not sure whether you realize it, Kanata has a feeling for you.”
“…”
Tsukasa only stared blankly at Touka.
“What? You don’t believe me?” Touka asked with a pout.
“No, but she has a fiance, right?” Tsukasa said as he decided to pretend that he didn’t know anything.
“But she doesn’t love that fiance of hers, and she is in love with you,” Touka said.
“But I’m yours now. What can I do?” Tsukasa asked.
“Well…” Touka suddenly stopped talking, then asked, “Say, is there a way for us to stop her engagement?”
Tsukasa looked at Touka and said, “It’s hard.”
“Hard?”
“Yes, a marriage between a rich family like Kanata-nee’s family usually happens because of an interest.”
“Interest?”
“Yes, a marriage is like a business alliance, and for someone who is born in the Totokubara family, I’m sure that she has prepared to do this,” Tsukasa said with a sigh.
“But… But that’s so cold,” Touka said as she brimmed in tears since she had never thought such a big problem would happen to her best friend.
“That’s how a rich family is. Compared to us, they’re cold,” Tsukasa said since the rich people were more interested in the number instead of something intangible such as love.
While the Totokubara family might be better to other families in terms of humanitarianism, their family wasn’t that much different since they also needed to think about their family’s business, and being on the family of business, one needed to become ruthless.
It was something normal since everything had a price.
Once you get something, you will also lose something.
While Tsukasa felt that it was part of life, Touka couldn’t accept it.
Touka had never thought of the Totokubara family who often gave a donation to the orphanage where she and Tsukasa lived would be such a cold family, who treated their children as a piece of chess.
“So, is there a way for us to break her engagement?” Touka asked.
Tsukasa didn’t answer Touka’s question, but he thought for a moment and said, “The marriage between Touka and her fiance is because of interest. If she can meet someone who can give more interest than this fiance, then her family might break this engagement for her.”
Touka thought for a moment and said, “Everything is based on interest, right?”
“Well, yeah.”
“If you can win the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, should your worth be more than Kanata-chan’s fiance?” Touka asked.
“…That should be?” Tsukasa somehow had an idea of where this was going.
“Then why don’t you win the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, so you can break Kanata-chan’s engagement?” Touka suddenly said something so outrageous.
“….I’m your boyfriend, you know?” Tsukasa said speechlessly, but inwardly, he was dancing happily.
Touka was in silence for a moment and said, “You know… I have been thinking for a while.”
“What are you thinking?”
“What if I date you together with Kanata-chan?”
“…..” Tsukasa.
“We have been together after all, so it isn’t something weird, right?” Touka said as if she had thought of a good idea.
“…Are you alright with it?” Tsukasa asked.
“I don’t know.”
“…” Tsukasa.
“However, I can save the happiness of Kanata just by sharing you with her. I think it is worth it. Still, in this fight, you will fight many strong opponents, including me, and I’m not going to hold back.”
Touka moved closer as she embraced Tsukasa and said, “While I don’t really want you to win, I also want you to win, so for now, let’s just think of how you’re going to defeat me since, unlike before, I have become stronger and I won’t hold back when we meet each other on the fight.”
Tsukasa looked at Touka for a moment and said, “Really? But I’d defeated you before.”
“….”
Touka’s face turned bright red and quickly refuted, then said, “This and that fight is different!”
“Well, yeah, but you have never won against me, right?” Tsukasa said with a smile.
“…..” Touka couldn’t say anything since she really hadn’t won against Tsukasa at all!
Tsukasa had never lost whether it was a paper, rock, scissors, or even a fight. Whether it was now or in the future, he would continue to win no matter what kind of method he was going to use, so when he saw the possibility that he could solve the issue between Kanata and Touka, he also didn’t have hesitation in using this method.
Tsukasa knew that he was despicable, so he said, “I think you should discuss this with Kanata-nee. She might not feel happy if we decide something on our own.”
“That’s true.” Touka nodded in agreement.
“Also…”
“Also?”
“Don’t you ask my opinion whether I agree with this?” Tsukasa suddenly asked.
“…..”
“…Don’t you agree with this?” Touka asked with some confusion.
“While I’m also worried about Kanata-nee, you’re the woman I choose Touka. You think it is alright for me to date the two of you,” Tsukasa said without shame, ignoring he dated many girls at the same time and felt that it wouldn’t be weird if he was stabbed by several girls at the same time.
“I’m happy to hear that from you, but this time, you need to follow my selfishness, alright? And don’t you like Kanata-chan? Your expression was so bad when Kanata-chan hugged your arm tightly back then.” Touka looked at Tsukasa with a pout and asked, “Do you like big breasts that much?
“….” Tsukasa.
“Sorry.”
“It’s okay, but be truthful, if you go out with Kanata-chan next time, alright?” Touka said while looking at Tsukasa.
‘Be truthful, next time…’
Tsukasa was dumbfounded for a moment when he heard that sentence while wondering whether something might change in his previous life when he could be truthful back then.
However, could he tell them truthfully about his despicable act?
Tsukasa wasn’t sure, but he felt that it might be worth it to try.
It was just that Tsukasa felt that he might need to solve the problem with his regenerative healing factor, so it would also work on the wounds or injuries that were caused by bladed things.
In case something might happen to him.
