Tokyo's Most Affectionate - Chapter 42

Couple Trampoline

“I didn’t expect you to be quite strong.”

Because of the thrilling yet safe experience, Itsuragi stood on relatively stable ground and couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Kurosawa’s arm.

Not pinching would be fine, but when she did, she found it quite firm.

Even in the air when he princess-carried her just now, she could feel a stable and powerful force, making the experience truly marvelous.

“Wow, there are muscles! Do you have abs too?”

Itsuragi was somewhat amazed; she originally thought that Tokyo University students were all weak bookworms.

Facing her hand reaching out to touch him, Kurosawa was momentarily unsure how to react.

Unlike the limited-time experience cards, permanent rewards directly brought changes to his body. For example, Archery Mastery gave strength to his arms and muscles.

“Runa, be careful.”

At this moment, Ninomiya walked over, grabbed Kurosawa’s arm, dragged him behind her, and admonished him in front of Itsuragi.

Separated forcibly, Itsuragi, who had just touched his abs, felt a bit regretful. She shrugged and then suddenly realized. 

She extended her index fingers, pointed at the two of them, and said with a smile, “This is not a big deal… Ah, the words you just said are exactly the same, it’s like telepathy.”

“You’re still laughing. What if you had fallen and broken your neck just now?”

Hearing her banter, Ninomiya felt a bit annoyed.

“I’ll tell you, Kurosawa has abs, he’s super strong.” Itsuragi didn’t mind and covered one side of her mouth with her hand, leaning in to whisper to her.

“You’re still talking about that…” Ninomiya realized that she still had the mindset to discuss this, completely unaware of her mistake. She was instantly irritated.

“Okay, I’ll be careful.”

Seeing that she was really getting angry, Itsuragi immediately stopped fooling around and said honestly.

“It’s good that you know.”

As a teacher, even though Ninomiya hadn’t been in the profession for long, she was very concerned about the rights and wrongs of things. It was like an occupational hazard.

“I couldn’t help it just now. You guys came out to have fun, and it ended up feeling like a team-building event. I was playing by myself and didn’t pay attention to my own situation.”

Comforting her emotions, Itsuragi began to justify herself.

Ninomiya thought for a moment and realized that they had caught Itsuragi’s attention. She spoke up.

“You don’t have to worry about us; we’ll get into the groove.” 

“Then let’s get going quickly.” Itsuragi urged.

Ninomiya couldn’t help but glance at Kurosawa behind her. Then she bent down and whispered in Itsuragi’s ear.

“It’s not that I don’t want to play, but I’m wearing a skirt…”

“Are you afraid of a wardrobe malfunction?” Itsuragi lowered her head and took a look. Seeing Ninomiya wearing a tight skirt, she realized the issue.

While she could wear a skirt without any concern, Ninomiya, in a tight black skirt highlighting her beautiful legs but with a relatively short length, just above the knees, might accidentally reveal more than intended.

Ninomiya nodded; it wasn’t her first time visiting an amusement park. She had been to other theme parks before with Itsugragi and other classmates, but never expected to engage in these kinds of activities today. 

According to her imagination, their goal for the day should be roller coasters, drop towers, and, most importantly, haunted houses. Therefore, she didn’t dress in sporty attire.

“What should I do then?”

“I don’t know.”

“How about letting Kurosawa hold you while playing, so he can help press down your skirt.”

“What are you saying!”

Seeing her propose such an absurd suggestion, Ninomiya felt a bit embarrassed.

“Well, let’s play for a while longer, then we can switch to another activity.” Seeing that she couldn’t bring herself to do it, Itsuragi nodded in agreement.

“Kurosawa, Chizuru is worried about a wardrobe malfunction. Let’s play for a bit and then switch to another activity.” Itsuragi called out.

“Sure.” Even though they were whispering, Kurosawai noticed the change in Itsuragi’s gaze and naturally sensed something was amiss.

“How about that one?”

Itsuragi still wanted more fun, looking towards a nearby couple playing on a trampoline, engaging in the classic couple princess carry.

“Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Kurosawa hesitated and seemed inclined to refuse.

“Why is it inappropriate?”

Hearing this, Itsuragi took a few big steps forward, crossing over Ninomiya, raising her voice as if she was threatening him.

“Okay.” Facing her, Kurosawa saw her gestures, pointing repeatedly at Ninomiya behind him, and reluctantly agreed.

Ninomiya, behind them, couldn’t see the subtle movements but knew what Itsuragi was referring to.

She originally wanted to intervene and stop this, but considering that the activity would be cut short because of her, she hesitated to speak up.

With the matter settled, the two of them walked towards a nearby trampoline.

“Come on, it’s your turn.”

Itsuragi lay on the trampoline decisively and said.

The basic gameplay had already been demonstrated, and Kurosawa didn’t hesitate. He stood beside her and began jumping in place.

Lying on the ground, Itsuragi, at a close distance, saw his legs under the shorts, the muscles tense with each exertion, and couldn’t help but glance sideways.

Unexpectedly, Kurosawa’s performance exceeded her expectations; it seemed like he worked out regularly.

With a few jumps in place, as he reached a certain height, Kurosawa suddenly exerted force, and he descended like a depth charge.

“Boom!”

The next moment, under the powerful force, Itsuragi lying on the trampoline was propelled into the air.

“Woo-hoo!”

Itsuragi didn’t expect it to be so exhilarating and enjoyable, she couldn’t help but cheer.

Immediately after, Kurosawa, following the elasticity, also flew up and directly reached out, embracing her.

Unlike the urgent rescue earlier, this time it was a stable jump, and the two of them started bouncing continuously.

Kurosawa’s arm strength was impressive; even with a princess carry, it was effortless for him, and he could jump with her in his arms.

“Wow, Kurosawa, you’re amazing!”

“Ah, Kurosawa!”

With each takeoff, Itsuragi cheered.

For a moment, other couples playing around were drawn to the commotion here.

“Look at them.”

Some girls, seeing Kurosawa holding Itsuragi and continuously jumping without stopping, as if he had endless stamina, couldn’t help but pull their male companions nearby.

“Don’t look!”

Other girls noticed their boyfriends looking at Itsuragi, especially at her legs, tilted their heads, attempting to see if there was any chance of a wardrobe malfunction, and immediately got angry.

However, the design of the skirt-pants combo made it challenging for any accidental exposure to happen.

“They’re such a perfect match, the guy is handsome, and the girl is beautiful.”

“Yeah, totally.”

Some couples who were usually enthusiastic about shipping good-looking pairs seemed calm.

Although Itsuragi had short hair, it didn’t diminish her beauty at all. Despite her somewhat cool and stylish attire, she remained very attractive.

On the side, Ninomiya stood with her arms crossed, watching them play. Her slender and fair fingers continuously tapped on her arms, and she felt a bit inexplicably irritated.

What was going on? 

Kurosawa clearly invited her to come out and play, yet he was having such a good time with Itsuragi.
