Tokyo's Most Affectionate - Chapter 111

Since I Can’t Choose, Then I Want Them All

“Okay.”

Seeing her nod, Kurosawa also made up his mind.

He had already thought it through; his future self probably wouldn’t be able to make the difficult decision to choose between two or three options at the last moment. Since he couldn’t choose, he decided to have them all.

Although achieving such a result might be challenging, and there could be many setbacks, for now, Mirai Saimonji was a good starting point.

“What does ‘okay’ mean?”

For a moment, Shiromiya couldn’t figure out his intentions.

Did this mean he agreed to be supported by her?

“I will find a way to make your grandfather agree to let you marry me, not someone else,” Kurosawa clarified, seeing her confusion.

“That’s going to be difficult.”

Although Shiromiya hoped for such an outcome, she didn’t hold much hope for it.

Although Kurosawa was a student at the University of Tokyo and even a super-achiever, Shiromiya was not an only child, and her older brother was outstanding enough. 

The Shiromiya family didn’t need to find an excellent son-in-law.

“If I become the strongest archery master in Neon, do you think it’s feasible?”

In fact, Kurosawa didn’t have much confidence either. After thinking for a moment, he asked.

Perhaps Sato had suggested this, but he knew very little and couldn’t be sure of the situation.

“Grandpa also practices archery. He respects his teachers a lot, and there’s also Ogasawara, the tenth dan. If you can become the strongest archery master at such a young age, it might really work…”

Shiromiya pondered while answering upon hearing this suggestion.

“Are you serious?”

The next moment, as if a lightbulb had lit up in her mind, she suddenly realized and widened her eyes.

“I’m serious.”

Kurosawa nodded. Originally, he didn’t have the intention to continue delving into and developing archery.

But if it was Shiromiya, he could try it. 

With his perfect-level archery skills, he could make a name for himself.

“Wow…”

Thinking about how he had just defeated the ninth dan, Sato, with his strength, Shiromiya suddenly felt excited. She realized that he truly had the potential.

If Kurosawa could become the strongest archery master in Neon and the youngest genius in history, her grandfather might actually agree to let them be together.

“Do you think your grandfather will agree?”

Seeing her surprised and astonished expression, Kurosawa found it a bit cute, but he continued discussing serious matters.

“He should, and it’s very likely.”

Shiromiya nodded vigorously, clenching her fist tightly, resembling a little chick pecking at grains.

Perhaps archery skills were somewhat impractical in daily life, difficult to make money from, and not applicable on the battlefield. It was just a simple sport and hobby. 

However, in her family, except for her mother who came through an arranged marriage and didn’t learn archery, her father, older brother, and even her grandfather all practiced archery.

Her grandfather, in particular, had a strong liking for archery. He felt a close affinity for young people who approached archery with a sincere attitude and natural talent.

“Since that’s the case, I have a plan.”

Seeing her extremely excited and pleasantly surprised expression, Kurosawa smiled and spoke.

“Let’s hear it.”

“Does your grandfather attend archery competitions? I heard from Uesugi-sensei that there’s a national university archery competition during the summer break.”

“Occasionally, I’m not sure; it depends on whether he’s free.”

“What if Master Sato invites him to watch?”

“Then he will definitely go. My grandfather often has tea with sensei, and they have a great relationship.”

“Then let the archery competition be our first meeting.”

Realizing this, Kurosawa immediately confirmed the plan.

First impressions are important, whether between men and women or even between men.

“Mm-mm!”

Shiromiya’s heart was pounding wildly because she had a strong feeling that her predestined fate might be rewritten.

She didn’t need an arranged marriage like her mother, marrying a stranger and leading a superficial life.

She could marry Kurosawa Hikaru, a man who made her heart flutter.

“I’ll talk to Master Sato.”

Watching her excited and joyfully smiling, Kurosawa was also infected with a smile as he stood up, sweeping away the heaviness from earlier. 

“Go ahead, I’ll wait here,” Shiromiya nodded.

Soon, she watched as Kurosawa took strides and walked away.

Remaining in place, sitting against the wall, she silently observed.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed that Kurosawa’s figure was tall, giving a sense of solid security, and his profile was incredibly handsome.

Perhaps it was the hero-saves-the-beauty filter, but watching Kurosawa gave her a very comfortable feeling.

“He agreed and will try to invite your grandfather to the competition.”

Not long after, Kurosawa returned.

It had to be said that although Sato didn’t initially like him, after earning approval, he turned out to be very easy to get along with, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

“That’s great.”

Seeing the plan coming together, Shiromiya felt a sense of relief.

It seemed that her sensei supported them.

“Have you calmed down?”

Kurosawa noticed that she wasn’t trembling anymore, smiled, and sat back in his original position.

The distance between the two was about 30 centimeters, not too close together because the maid, Akai Sayaka, was still watching from a distance.

According to Sato, Akai’s tolerance had its limits. It was okay for them to be friends and talk, but if things went further, out of duty, she couldn’t just turn a blind eye.

“By the way, I really didn’t expect your archery skills to be so impressive.”

Shiromiya nodded, unable to help but marvel.

“I have many impressive qualities. I’ll let you see them in the future,” Kurosawa smiled.

In fact, he hadn’t initially expected it either, but now it seemed that being proficient in archery was enough to compete with Sato. 

As for the perfect-level archery, that was a level worthy of historical recognition.

After today’s events, he felt more confident about what lay ahead. He now possessed a second proficient-level skill, the piano.

Considering today’s competition, if he wasn’t mistaken, his current piano skills were sufficient to compete at the world’s top level.

“Oh, really?”

Hearing this, Shiromiya’s gaze shifted downward, and her tone became strange.

“What’s with the ‘oh’? I didn’t mean that, you naughty little girl.”

Realizing that she had misunderstood and was thinking he was making a suggestive comment, Kurosawa suddenly felt speechless.

He suddenly realized that although this girl seemed like a refined and noble young lady on the surface, she was actually quite playful and knowledgeable. 

Despite being closely watched by her family, she had managed to pick up quite a few things.

“What were you referring to then?” Shiromiya was a bit surprised.

“You’ll know in the future. You’ll see more,” Kurosawa didn’t boast and just stated.

“Well, that’s something to look forward to.”

Realizing that he had many impressive qualities, Shiromiya rested her head on his shoulder. 

This time, her smile was not bitter or forced; it was genuine, making her already exquisite beauty even more captivating.

For women, mystery is one of the most attractive qualities, and there was no doubt that Kurosawa possessed that trait.

“In the future, I’ll take you to many places to see different scenery.”

Meeting her adoring gaze, full of smiles and admiration, Kurosawa felt his heart racing. After a few moments of contemplation, he continued.

He wanted to rescue this girl from her cage, to let her experience more things, to see more smiles on her face, and to create more stories with her.

If the opportunity to play the hero and save the beauty presented itself, no man would refuse.
