Tokyo's Most Affectionate - Chapter 14

Mission Accomplished

During the halftime break, the cake box was opened, with a total of eight servings, just enough for each person.

“Finally, we can eat cake.”

Kurosawa used a fork to cut a piece of cake and put it into his mouth, not forgetting to talk.

“Does Kurosawa really like cake?” Shiina, hearing these impatient words, was a bit curious.

“Well, I actually have low blood sugar. I woke up early this morning for class, and just now, I sang for a while, I’m feeling a bit dizzy.” Seeing her take the bait, Kurosawa nodded.

Ichinose couldn’t help but glance at him a few more times, feeling a bit worried.

She didn’t expect Kurosawa to have low blood sugar. 

Waking up early for class and now accompanying her to a rare karaoke date, it seemed like a lot for someone with low blood sugar.

“You still have low blood sugar? Your body seems a bit weak,” Hinata couldn’t help but comment.

The three boyfriends present were generally robust in terms of health.

“If you have time, come with me, I’ll take you to the gym,” Yamamoto spoke up.

“Don’t tell me you’re taking him to fight. Kurosawa is from Tokyo University; if there’s a fight, it could ruin his life.”

Sato glanced at him and chuckled.

“I know my limits.” Yamamoto nodded, naturally understanding the reasoning behind it.

They were academic underachievers who didn’t want to study; fighting or other matters were of no concern to them, but Kurosawa was different—he was a university student.

Upon hearing their words, Kurosawa suddenly realized that these three boys, despite their tough and rebellious appearance, and their carefree demeanor, were actually not bad people.

In response to this, Kurosawa smiled and then proceeded to eat his cake.

“How are you feeling? Still feeling dizzy?” As his “girlfriend,” Ichinose waited until he finished eating and then expressed her concern.

“A bit, I need to take it slow,” Kurosawa nodded and took a deep breath.

“Lie down and rest for a bit.”

Seeing that he looked a bit uncomfortable, Ichinose suggested.

Shortly after, she looked around, glanced at everyone, patted her own thigh, indicating for him to lie down.

Noticing that she was offering her thigh for him to rest on, Kurosawa hesitated for a moment and didn’t immediately lie down.

“Hurry up.”

Seeing that he wasn’t moving, seemingly hesitating, Ichinose became anxious. If everyone caught on and saw through the act, it would be over.

Faced with her invitation again, Kurosawa obediently turned around and lay down.

With this pillow, a soft and elastic sensation came from the back of his head, accompanied by a slightly unusual touch, causing Kurosawa’s heartstrings to stir.

In addition to that, there was a faint and sweet fragrance that wafted into his nose.

In fact, this was Kurosawa’s first experience with a lap pillow.

He had been in relationships before, but in his previous life, there wasn’t this kind of romantic culture involving thigh pillows.

Just as Kurosawa finished experiencing the back of his head against the thigh, his gaze was about to look upward when a pair of hands gently pressed down.

“Kurosawa, close your eyes and rest for a while.”

Ichinose’s palm gently pressed on Kurosawa’s eyes, preventing him from looking up at her.

For the “hot girl” group, physical contact like this, such as lap pillows, was considered a common and trivial matter.

Kurosawa, upon hearing her words, found it amusing but didn’t act out of line.

“Are you shy?”

Successfully getting her to willingly offer a thigh pillow was already a good outcome.

“Since Kurosawa is feeling a bit dizzy, let’s all sit for a while, and then we can start the third round later,” Akiyuki glanced at them and casually suggested.

“The mission goal of 【Knee Pillow for Three Minutes】 has been completed.” 

Upon hearing this announcement, Kurosawa still didn’t move and continued to lie down.

This was a rare enjoyment, especially with a pair of beautiful legs as a pillow. It would be a pity to get up too soon.

“Sorry for making everyone wait.” After lingering for a while, Kurosawa felt that it was about time, so he sat up.

“So soon? Do you want to lie down a bit longer?”

Shiina had a favorable impression of him, so she was more concerned.

“No need, let’s continue the competition. When I was lying down just now, I thought of a new punishment.” Kurosawa shook his head and smiled.

“Kurosawa, don’t think you’ve already won.” Seeing his expression, Yamamoto immediately became defiant.

The karaoke battle resumed, and the result was that despite Yamamoto’s arrogance, he still dragged down his girlfriend to the bottom.

“Oh dear, Kurosawa, be merciful with your words.”

Unexpectedly, Shiina pouted as she ranked third this time, becoming the loser.

As the second-placed contestant, Akiyuki had no authority to punish the third-placed contestant and said, “Kurosawa, make a tough request! She hasn’t been punished in a long time.”

Kurosawa shrugged, indicating that the decision was not in his hands.

“It’s Yuki-chan’s decision.”

Ichinose grinned mischievously and then proposed the punishment.

As she stood up, issued commands, and sat back down again, Kurosawa leaned in beside her.

“What’s up?”

Sensing his movement, Ichinose was a bit puzzled.

Kurosawa lifted her wavy golden hair with his hand and whispered softly in her ear.

“For our next date, let’s go to a different place, just the two of us.”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Ichinose, looking at Kurosawa who seemed to bury his face in her hair and was so close, froze completely.

She was completely moved by his actions and words, and her heartbeat accelerated.

Could it be that this was an official invitation for a date? Would  they have another one, with just the two of them, and not a group date?

Where would a two-person date take place? What activities would they do? Ichinose’s thoughts were running wild.

Honestly, she didn’t feel any aversion to Kurosawa, her one-day boyfriend. In fact, she had a lot of positive feelings and even liked him.

Perhaps from their first meeting to their face-to-face encounter, it hadn’t been 24 hours yet, but this man had already brought her so many surprises. She secretly felt lucky that she bought Kurosawa last night—it turned out to be a great choice.

“Yeah.” In the midst of her wandering thoughts, Ichinose, whose voice was as soft as a mosquito, nodded.

​​With her nod, Kurosawa smiled.

“It’s a deal.”

At the same time, two lines of text appeared before his eyes.

Mission Objective: 【Make her look forward to the next date】 has been achieved.

【First date with Ichinose Yuki】, three mission objectives achieved, mission completed, reward: entry-level singing talent (permanent).

Just after reading this subtitle, numerous thoughts flooded Kurosawa’s mind, and his throat felt itchy.

It was the technique of singing, the use of vocal cords, the skills of high and low tones, the transformation of falsetto, the endurance of long notes, and the music theory of singing—different from the 24-hour experience card, only by singing naturally and effortlessly could these be demonstrated.

At this moment, with the emergence of these memories and knowledge, he truly possessed an entry-level singing talent. 

Because of these techniques, singing methods, and theories, Kurosawa could feel that he would sing better than before.

Phew…

Furthermore, Kurosawa felt that his lung capacity had increased.

Although he didn’t specifically test it, he just had that feeling.

In the moment of receiving the permanent reward, it seemed like he had spent countless days and nights learning to sing, cultivating his singing talent, and had put in endless time and effort.
