Tokyo's Most Affectionate - Chapter 58

Heart-fluttering Moments: 3/3

On Sunday, Shinjuku Station remained bustling with an incredibly high flow of people.

Coming out of the subway, Kurosawa took out his phone for a quick glance before scanning the area.

“Hikaru-kun.”

Before he could locate the person, a sweet and enthusiastic voice rang out.

In the next moment, someone emerged from the crowd.

As Kurosawa looked in the direction of the voice, he met a pair of surprised and beautiful eyes.

Locking eyes with her, he found himself momentarily captivated.

With radiant golden hair, a cascading fringe, and loose strands, Ichinose was dressed today in a shoulder-baring strap dress. The upper part was a red folded design with buttoned seams, while the lower part was a snowy white, gauzy, floor-length skirt.

Although it was a long skirt, it only revealed her slender and fair legs, attracting attention nonetheless.

She wore a pair of blue earrings that complemented her emerald eyes.

On her smooth and glossy shoulders, a prominent hickey caught the eye.

Different from the spicy outfit from the other day, today she looked both sweet and sexy.

“You’re dressed so beautifully, it’s quite different from the style that day,” Kurosawa remarked, glancing at her shoulder and smiling.

“Hikaru-kun, you look handsome too.” Ichinose, carrying a bag in her hand, was also sizing him up, expressing her surprise and admiration.

Today was different, that day it was her who made the request for his outfit.

Today’s Kurosawa had a stylish hairstyle and was wearing a dark blue short jacket. Underneath, he had a black short-sleeved T-shirt, paired with black trousers. A belt was strapped around his waist, giving him a mature and handsome look.

Indeed, Kurosawa was completely different from the boys at her school.

From inside out, he exuded a mature and stable charm, embodying the demeanor of an older brother.

“When did you arrive?” Kurosawa asked with a smile.

“I just arrived.”

“Let’s go, buy the tickets.”

“Where are we going?”

“Chiba Prefecture, Onjuku Beach.”

“That’s pretty close.”

“Tomorrow I still have classes, so we can’t go too far.”

“Got it.”

This combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman attracted attention.

In fact, Ichinose had been waiting for over ten minutes before Kurosawa arrived. During that time, many people had approached her, but all their attempts ended in failure.

Before long, they reached the ticket machine and began buying tickets.

“I’ll handle this.”

As Kurosawa took out his wallet to put money in, Ichinose preemptively tossed the money into the machine.

“Alright, but I’ll be covering the expenses from now on.”

Seeing her quick and prepared action, Kurosawa shrugged and didn’t insist on paying.

“Isn’t it supposed to be split evenly?”

“You can do what you did before and give me a little kiss.” Kurosawa joked, feeling more relaxed around her.

“That’s not appropriate…” Ichinose always felt it was a bit odd.

Even though she used a face kiss to offset a ten thousand yen reimbursement at the hotel before, doing it frequently would make their relationship feel strange.

“Then, no need for a kiss. Today, I’m the one inviting you, so I’ll cover the bill.” Seeing her expression, Kurosawa changed his mind.

“Um…”

Hearing this proposal,Ichinose glanced at his handsome face, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately felt quite troubled. If that were the case, she had no reason to kiss Kurosawa.

“Today is a date, it’s for fun. You can’t be frowning before we even set off,” Kurosawa said teasingly when he noticed her troubled expression, reaching out to gently pinch her cheek.

After some playful banter, they boarded the high-speed train.

Before long, they found their seats.

“Wearing a shoulder-baring outfit, aren’t you embarrassed with people seeing the hickey?” Kurosawa, sitting on her left, asked, looking at the hickey on her shoulder.

From his perspective, seeing this hickey gave him a possessive feeling, a sense of satisfaction of his vanity.

If others saw the hickey, they would subconsciously assume she had a boyfriend.

“Well, it was seen in swimming class anyway, so I don’t mind. And this hickey is quite useful. Just now, hardly anyone tried to strike up a conversation with me,” Ichinose replied.

However, Ichinose could not be embarrassed by such things.

She wore revealing and fashionable outfits similar to Akiyuki, Shiina, and Matsushita, who had been seen countless times.

“Hardly anyone, but there were still some people who tried?”

“There are always some who lack tact.”

“It’s because you’re too beautiful and charming. So, even if they see the hickey, they don’t believe it and want to try if they can still get your attention.”

“Get my attention?” Ichinose didn’t quite understand the term.

“It means knowingly pursuing someone who is already in a relationship,” Kurosawa explained after a brief pause. It seemed that such a term didn’t exist in Neon.

“Oh, so that’s what it means.”

Hearing his explanation, Ichinose’s pretty face blushed slightly. She nodded and whispered to herself.

This statement meant that Kurosawa considered her his girlfriend, right? In other words, in the business of love, Kurosawa admitted it.

Thinking about it carefully, if he didn’t admit it, how could the ten thousand from that day be offset by a simple kiss on the face?

At the same time, a line of text appeared before Kurosawa’s eyes.

“Task progress updated: Ichinose Yuki, heart-fluttering moments 2/3.”

Seeing this scene, Kurosawa raised an eyebrow.

This girl was too easy to capture. Without deliberately doing anything, she naturally experienced constant heart-fluttering moments.

Kurosawa thought for a moment and decided to add fuel to the fire. He lowered his head and approached her ear.

He looked at Ichinose’s small and cute ear. Lowering his voice, he said with a deep tone.

“Yuki-chan.”

“What’s up?”

His magnetic and deep voice echoed in her ear, giving Ichinose a tingling sensation throughout her body. 

His voice was so pleasant that she could listen to it for a lifetime without getting tired.

At the same time, she was a bit curious about what Kurosawa wanted to whisper.

“How about I help you apply sunscreen later?”

Kurosawa was initially pondering how to bring up this matter, but since she was currently experiencing heart-fluttering moments, he decided to seize the opportunity.

“!”

With these words, Ichinose’s eyes widened with disbelief. She wondered if she had misheard.

However, as soon as she glanced sideways, she met a pair of enchanting black eyes and saw a gaze that was definitely not a joke.

Realizing that she hadn’t misheard, she lowered her head, and her gaze couldn’t help but sneak a peek at his palm.

His nails were neatly trimmed, his fingers were long and slender, and his palm was large, looking very handsome.

Thinking about applying sunscreen, which meant his hands would be rubbing all over her body, Ichinose’s heartbeat couldn’t help but accelerate, as if a monkey was jumping around inside her.

At the same time, another line of text appeared before Kurosawa’s eyes.

Task progress updated: Ichinose Yuki, heart-fluttering moments 3/3.

However, he didn’t pay attention to it. Instead, he looked at her profile close at hand.

A blush spread across her pretty face.

Even her small ears and her snowy, slender neck were tinted with a blush, making her irresistibly cute.

“Mmm…”

After a long silence, Ichinose nodded, her voice weak and mosquito-like, agreeing to the proposal.
