Tokyo's Most Affectionate - Chapter 38

Having a good relationship with a certain hot JK from high school, if she found out, he won’t be able to explain it to Ninomiya.

It seems like I can’t sing today no matter what.

After sensing the danger, Kurosawa started calculating in his mind.

It was challenging to explain, and he had to wait until later. He absolutely could not reveal it today.

As a university student and an honor student, if Ninomiya found out that he had a close relationship with a hot JK from high school and they went to karaoke together, it would definitely leave a bad impression.

Once such an impression was formed, today’s date would be disastrous.

The time for one song quickly passed, and then it was the turn of the mysterious singer.

Having just listened to the original singer and now hearing the cover, the contrast was even stronger, shaking people’s hearts.

“What’s his name?”

Listening intently, Ninomiya became curious.

“I’ll temporarily name him the Karaoke Song Deity!”

Driving the car, Itsuragi could feel the approval from her good friend, and that feeling of having one’s interests recognized was incredibly refreshing.

The satisfaction of successfully recommending something you like to a friend is a delightful sensation that reaches the depths of the soul.

“…”

Kurosawa, upon hearing this name, felt powerless to comment.

“Isn’t ‘Song Deity’ a bit too much?”

“He hasn’t even debuted yet, and he’s already this good. With proper training in the future, he’ll definitely become a Song Deity!” Itsuragi had tremendous trust in this “Karaoke Song Deity,” to the point of admiration.

As an industry professional, she was well aware of the potential of this mysterious singer.

“Indeed,” Ninomiya thought for a moment and found it reasonable.

Not having officially debuted yet but already displaying such talent, if he were to debut and undergo stage performances and training, he would undoubtedly shine even more brightly.

“Oh, by the way, there’s a little rumor saying he’s an extremely handsome guy.”

“Could it be that you’ve fallen for him, and that’s why you’re thinking of stalking him?”

Unlike talents, Ninomiya wasn’t very interested in appearance, but noticing her strong curiosity, she pushed up her glasses and asked with a sharp look.

From childhood to adulthood, Ninomiya had seen Itsuragi’s reactions to various handsome guys, but she had never been as excited as she was now.

“Why so silent, Kurosawa? Could it be that you’re feeling jealous because your teacher, Ninomiya-sensei, is interested in other men?”

Itsuragi didn’t delve deeper into this topic but noticed that Kurosawa hadn’t said much since earlier and teased him.

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Ninomiya felt a bit speechless, thinking that Itsuragi’s words were mischievous.

However, she didn’t deny the teacher part, as it was indeed a fact.

“No, I’m just listening to the music.” Kurosawa’s current mood was delicate, and he forced a smile.

What could he say? Admit that he was the Karaoke Song Deity they were discussing?

If the recorded performance wasn’t in a karaoke setting, if it wasn’t a group date with a hot girl and delinquents, he might have admitted it.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. He was with the hot girl, and it was under the guise of a date.

If this were to be exposed, today’s date would be ruined.

Itsuragi, reminded by him, immediately said, “Yeah, listen to the music. Listen more.”

She had watched this video many times in the past two days, but these two had just been introduced. She had to let them experience the power of this video.

“You focus on driving.”

Ninomiya felt that they couldn’t keep chatting like this and shifted her attention.

Driving and listening to music, the journey became smoother.

“Now is the time!”

After driving for more than ten kilometers, gripping the steering wheel and looking ahead at Itsuragi, Ninomiya felt a sinking feeling when she saw a sharp turn ahead.

Facing the bend, Itsuragi didn’t slow down. Instead, she stepped on the gas to accelerate.

Entering the sharp turn, Itsuragi suddenly turned the steering wheel, glancing at the rearview mirror to check the situation in the back seat.

However, the situation in the back seat was not as she had calculated.

The sharp turn was intense, taking more than ten seconds to navigate smoothly.

“This Kurosawa, why didn’t he lean towards Chizuru? He’s holding onto the armrest, and he can sit in place? How can he be so strong?” With the return to a straight path, Itsuragi was puzzled.

Since they got in the car, she had asked the two in the back seat not to fasten their seat belts. It was for the sharp turns, where the powerful inertia would throw the two people close together.

However, faced with the sharp turn, Ninomiya’s body leaned directly against the car door, while Kurosawa remained firmly seated without moving.

Is this guy not up to the task? This is such a rare opportunity, only happening once in over twenty kilometers.

Kurosawa didn’t know she thought he wasn’t up to the task. He was just scared—after all, it was his first time riding in Itsuragi’s car, and he hadn’t fastened his seat belt yet.

In this situation, entering a sharp turn at high speed, who wouldn’t be scared?

“Be careful driving, there are still two people here.”

Ninomiya could feel the intensity of the previous turn and reminded her with some dissatisfaction.

“Do you still doubt my driving skills?” Itsuragi didn’t think she was wrong and said calmly.

They continued on their journey, smoothly covering another two kilometers.

“Now is the time! I don’t believe it!”

Itsuragi once again saw a sharp turn ahead, feeling excited. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel, as if facing an upcoming opportunity that she wanted to firmly seize.

The next moment, she accelerated again and abruptly entered the sharp turn, turning the steering wheel once more.

This time, due to the different direction, Ninomiya’s body, under the effect of inertia, leaned and directly bumped into Kurosawa.

“Runa!”

As they returned to a straight path, Ninomiya became anxious, angrily shouting.

“What’s wrong?”

Itsuragi, looking through the rearview mirror and seeing Ninomiya’s body falling onto Kurosawa, immediately shifted the focus of the conversation.

“Drive slower, why are you driving so fast?” Itsuragi was quite speechless.

“Do you not trust my skills?!”

“It’s not about trust or not. Your driving skills are indeed excellent, but there’s no need to drive so fast!”

The two had a heated argument, sounding like they were quarreling.

As for Kurosawa, he didn’t say a word.

Because Ninomiya’s scent was very pleasant, and her body was soft, leaning against his chest.

At this moment, he finally figured it out.

Facing the accelerating sharp turns, Itsuragi wasn’t unafraid of death, but rather wanted to create an opportunity for him.

After the complaint, Ninomiya suddenly came to her senses, raised her head, and saw a face very close to hers.

At this moment, she realized that under the influence of inertia, she had unexpectedly leaned into Kurosawa’s embrace.

Being alert to the situation, she quickly realized what happened and hurriedly sat up straight.

“Sorry.”

Ninomiya reached out to brush her hair back and adjusted her slightly askew glasses. As she tidied up her appearance, her mood gradually returned to calm.

“No problem.”

Seeing her readjusting her glasses, Kurosawa couldn’t help but feel a sense of moe, and his heart couldn’t help but beat a bit faster.

It had to be said that this unexpected adorable side revealed by the cool beauty after losing her composure was truly charming.
