"Wow, it's so amazing!"
As they arrived at the top area of the Tokyo Tower, Yui couldn't contain her amazement. The last time she visited this place was when she was an elementary student. While she was happy since she felt everything was so small and she was in a high position, she couldn't enjoy it because of the memory of her mother.
However, it was different now since she was with the person she longed for.
"You don't need to run so suddenly, Senpai."
Shishio followed from behind, looking at Yui, who was already on the edge of the tower, watching the scenery of the night in Tokyo through the glass. Unlike the day when one could see various scenery clearly without any obstructions because of the sunlight, at night, it wasn't much different. The lights from various buildings shone brightly with various colors and beauty, which made people who saw this scenery feel that it wasn't much different from the day.
"It's beautiful..."
Yui stood by his side, so close, while watching this scenery in a trace. She only came to the Tokyo Tower during the day with her mother previously, so it was her first time seeing the scenery of the Tokyo Tower at night.
Besides the sea, which was pitch dark, everything was so bright.
It was as if several fireworks were shot at the sky at the time.
However, those fireworks weren't momentary. Instead, they were all forever, which made her realize how amazing everything was.
Still, while this scenery was amazing, she glanced in his direction shyly, looking at him from time to time since, compared to the scenery of the city at night, his appearance was more attractive.
Yet, it was impossible for her to say something like that since it was too corny and the time wasn't right.
If there was someone who was going to say something like that, it should be him.
However, unlike Yui, who was amazed by the beauty of this city, Shishio felt a bit different. He might feel that this scenery was beautiful, but there was this strange feeling in his heart.
If he was living in the past or reincarnated in an era where no light existed, he might miss this brightness and would do his best to get this light.
However, when he was in this era, where light existed and made people unable to see the difference between a day and a night, it made him long for the dark.
Somehow, he realized how complicated a human was and how troublesome they were.
Maybe in the future, they couldn't get enough of the earth and wanted to live in another place, such as outer space or underwater.
Either way, such a day wouldn't be so soon, and he just needed to enjoy every moment of his life.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"No, no!"
"Are you waiting for me to say something?"
"?!"
"Of course not! I never waited for you to say something!" Yui puffed her cheeks as she looked away.
"Well, I can't deny that this scenery is beautiful, but Yui-senpai is more beautiful," Shishio said wholeheartedly.
"......."
"You-You..." Yui blushed, flustered, and felt her whole face was so hot. "Can you not seduce me like that?"
"Oh? Is my seduction effective?"
"No, no! Of course not! I am not so easy!" Yui looked away while showing annoyance. Of course, she wasn't an easy girl. She only reacted like this because of him, but her words made her like an easy girl, which made her a bit angry.
Shishio sighed, then smiled and whispered, "Then, maybe, I should seduce you more since you're not such an easy girl."
"!!!"
"Shishiron!"
Yui was so embarrassed that her face was so red.
"I was joking."
"That's not a funny joke!" Yui was so annoyed at this moment since it was hard to tell whether he was serious or not, which made her even more annoyed.
What do you think about me?
She wanted to ask that question since, at that moment, she was clear about what she felt about him.
"Then, how will you forgive me?"
"I..."
Yui wanted to say the words she kept in her heart, but she quickly stopped them. Her heart was far from calm, and she almost slipped the words that she had always kept in her heart. This wasn't a good thing, especially since she wanted him to be the one who confessed to her.
However, was he going to confess to him?
She couldn't see anything from his expression, and everything was as usual.
Even if he came to the Tokyo Tower, she could see that he was just curious about this place, and there didn't seem to be any hints that came from him that he was going to confess to her, which made her head a mess.
Should I do it?
Or should I wait?
However, if she waited, how long would she have to wait?
Yet, if she didn't wait and let the words slip out, she was afraid their relationship would change.
This was what she was afraid of since if she confessed, their relationship couldn't return to how it used to be.
If she was accepted, it would be great, but if she was rejected, it would be different.
However, she also felt that it would be weird of him if he was the one who confessed. He had a lot of women already, and she also knew that most of them were the ones who took the initiative.
Still, she still wished for him to confess to her.
Please confess to me!
However, she knew that the bigger the expectation was, the bigger the disappointment was.
"I-I want an ice cream!"
In the end, she chickened out and asked him for ice cream.
On the Tokyo Tower, there was this specialty ice cream where ice cream was sold in a fun packaging, which could be formed into a miniature of Tokyo Tower.
She still remembered that she ate that ice cream with her mother during elementary school, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Okay, I will treat you to this one." Shishio nodded since he was also curious about the ice cream.
"Eh, um, no, let me buy it myself!"
"No, let me treat you."
"But..."
"Can you let me be cool once?"
"...okay." Yui could only agree and mutter in a low voice, "...even if you don't do this, you're already cool."
"What did you say?"
"No-Nothing!"
"Come on." He held Yui's hand and led her to the stall of ice cream.
Yui looked at his hand, which held her hand firmly, and smiled. She should be satisfied with this, but the more she enjoyed being with him, the more she wanted more. While she knew that there might be someone who could love her better in this world, unfortunately, she only loved him, so she wasn't going to change, and she was going to determine everything in this place.
"Here's your order."
"Thank you." Yui took her ice cream and ate it happily.
He also took his ice cream, but he didn't immediately eat it. Instead, he looked at Yui, who used her small pink tongue to lick the tip part of the ice cream. As she used her tongue, he could see how happy she was.
"Is it good?"
"Un!" Yui nodded, then asked, "How about yours? Does the flavor of sweet potato taste good?" She got the taste of soda, which was kind of sour, sweet, and frizzy.
"It's good. It has a refined, sweet taste."
The taste of the ice cream was quite okay.
"Can I taste it?" Yui asked curiously.
"Sure."
Yui looked at Shishio, who moved his ice cream closer to her lips. She felt a bit embarrassed, but she stuck her tongue again, licking his ice cream nervously and eagerly.
"How is it?"
"It-it's good!"
It tasted sweet, but it was hard to say whether it was good or not since she was too nervous to taste it.
"Do-Do you want to taste mine?" Yui suddenly asked since she wanted to do revenge, making him nervous.
"Can I?"
"Sure!"
She nodded and watched him lick part of her ice cream, and it made her body excited for some reason.
"...ho-how is it?"
"It tastes good." He nodded and thought the taste of soda wasn't bad.
"........"
However, his reaction was too plain, which made her quite disappointed.
"Le-Let's continue to walk!"
"Okay."
As they ate their ice cream, they continued to walk around the tower. It was hard to say which was the most exciting part of this tower, but if one asked which part was the scariest, it was easy to tell, and it was the glass floor, which made people could see the ground from the top of the tower.
If one was afraid of the height, they would feel weak when they stood in this area.
"Do dare to walk there?" Yui asked.
"Are you?"
"Le-Let's do it together."
"You're scared, right?"
"Of-Of course not! I-I am afraid that you can't walk because you're too scared, so I'm helping you by holding your hand!" Yui made a cheap excuse.
He stared at her for a moment before he nodded and said, "Thanks."
"It's good if you know." Yui nodded with a smug smile.
"......"
He felt regret for letting this girl get a chance to get smug.
The two held each other's hands and walked on top of the glass floor.
While Yui was trembling in nervousness, Shishio had to say that people really enjoyed this kind of dangerous thrill, like seducing a housewife.
As they passed, Yui sighed in relief and said, "It's good that you don't cry there."
"...how about we walk there again? But this time, we don't hold each other's hand?"
"No! Don't tease me like that!"
Once was enough, and she didn't want to do such a dangerous thing again.
However, he didn't mock her fear since it was normal. While the glass was made with the latest technology, anything could happen in life, especially if a sudden earthquake happened.
"Sorry, sorry. How about we rest on that sofa?"
"Un."
As they walked away, Yui looked at him and thought to confess since she just couldn't control her emotion. As for her previous thought, she had forgotten about it, and she also didn't care about the answer, but she only wanted to say what she kept in her heart, but he beat him first.
"Say, Senpai."
"Hmm?"
"You know that I have many girlfriends, right?"
Yui was stunned, but she nodded. "I know."
"Yet, you're okay with doing something intimate with me like this? Are you okay being misunderstood as my girlfriend?"
After they walked onto the top of the glass ground, neither of them let go of the other hands, and if someone looked at them, one would think of them as a lover without a doubt.
"I..." Yui hesitated for a while before she showed a gentle smile and said, "Girlfriend? I am a big sister, right?"
Shishio looked at Yui and asked, "But what if I don't want you to be my big sister?"
"Eh?" Yui was stunned, but he didn't give her a chance to think. Instead, he held her two hands gently as he faced her and said, "Senpai, being with you is fun. Even if we don't talk, your presence can always cheer me up. You're an amazing girl. I am lucky that I can spend a night with you like this."
"No, no! I-I am also happy! No, I am the one who is happiest!"
"No, it's me."
"It's me!"
"Well, it's good that you're happy."
"You should say that you're happier than me again!"
"But didn't you say that you're the happiest one? I won't fight you for something childish."
"........"
Yui wanted to beat this guy up somehow.
"But, I can't deny that I am happy. Thank you for accompanying me here and treating me."
"It's okay." Yui nodded and felt a bit embarrassed hearing such honest words.
"You know, I feel like you're about to confess to me before."
"Ugh!" Yui looked away before she glared at him since she knew that this was part of his bad hobby.
"But let me say this, I like you, Senpai. I don't care if it is wrong or not, but I want you. So can you be my woman?"
His words were clear and firm, telling her what he wanted.
Yui stared at him for a while, blushing, happy, and she felt that her heart could burst out anytime, yet she wanted to tease him somehow.
"No."
"..." Shishio.
"...but if you say it again, I will think about it." Yui looked away with a blush and felt embarrassed, but he was too lazy to confess and just pinched her chin.
"Huh?"
Yui was confused, but before she reacted, her lips were taken!
"........"
Yui was in a daze and couldn't believe what had happened, but she quickly realized everything and hugged his neck intimately, showing her answer through action.
As their lips parted, they looked at each other with heavy breathing.
"...more."
"Hmm?"
"I want more. Can I?" Yui asked with misty eyes.
Shishio kissed her lips without hesitation and felt that even if she grew old, he wouldn't get bored of her. Instead, he might be even more excited for some reason.
