Eternal Melody

Chapter 631 Setting the bait

"I traveled around the world and visited different places all on my own. Not staying in one place for a long time, that's how it was supposed to be. I met a kid on one of my journeys then who asked me why I was traveling and asked me if I was lonely. I told him, ' I'm fine, as long as I have my freedom. I don't want to be tied down to anything, and I don't want to tie down others. The further away I go, the further away I get from people who know me. And the more I feel that I can get away from everything.' It was supposed to be like that, but that changed after I met you. I wanted to become attached to something, to have a place called home and carve a piece of my existence somewhere. "

It wasn't just her who had had such powerful feelings. However, she couldn't understand those feelings very well when they emerged. 'I was so confused and didn't know what to do, yet I knew it was love for some reason.'

It was the emotion she abandoned a long time ago. She ought to abandon it again, but the one she fell for is Yuhi. That is why she could not abandon these emotions so easily.

"Could it be?!"

"I met that kid again when I was with Kou, and he told me that I was being selfish, ' a sorry excuse of a person is what he said to me. Truthfully as annoying as it was, I couldn't disagree with what he said. Even if I had such powerful feelings like that, the truth is I'm a guy who thinks about nobody but himself. Someone like you shouldn't be with me; that's why I left. "

"Then, then why? Why did you come back?"

At that, Yuhi leaned forward and trailed his lips against the nape of her neck.

"Because after a while, I couldn't stand it anymore. I don't know whether Touko told you, but I grew rather frustrated, and before I knew it, I was a complete mess. I wanted to see you again, no matter what the consequences were. "

It's the same as her. After Yuhi left, she was a complete mess; she went to that party to change her mood. She coincidentally met Sano there. When she saw him, she thought, 'ah, I can use this person.' A person who wears a fake smile on his face. She observed him during that banquet and watched him make a fool out of himself.

If it is this person, perhaps she could forget just for a little while. Somebody who is completely different from Yuhi.

"Yuhi, you dummy, you always say the words I always want to hear. I've always, I've always loved you. I dated San, Toh, Ren, and Ru, and yet I - always loved you. I just couldn't say it then."

She didn't want a response, and he knew that, so when she felt his lips on hers. She felt relaxed. Yuhi is a huge fool. Does he not know how long she has waited for him to say those words?

To hear those words that align with her own thoughts. To know that she wasn't the only one. She never saw Yuhi as a friend, but she had not been able to confidently say those words. She even dated other guys. Once the kiss broke, and he inter winded their hands together, she felt her cheeks heat up and yet smiled.

"You know if we kiss anymore today, you won't be able to go out. No, I don't think you can go anywhere in the next few days."

Ah, right, because he bit her lips. Sumire briefly glanced at his regretful expression and chuckled. He is so clumsy. "Then you have to help me heal them."

"Put the ointment in yourself. If I touch you anymore today, then I will truly lose control."

Sumire blinked when she saw how worked up he was getting. Even though he was the one who did it, and just now, he messed with her too. Now he has returned to his usual clumsy self, but she doesn't like it. This person treasures her too much.

Yuhi escorted her down the stairs, and she returned to the living room. Huan was still safely sleeping on the couch. It is a good thing he isn't a bad sleeper; if he tossed and turned, he would have fallen. She did put cushions on the ground, but he is still young.

Sumire picked him up in her arms. "I think he should still use the crib, even if he has matured more than most kids his age."

Matured more than most kid is one thing. Why does he look like he is two years old when he is not even one yet? She truly needs to learn more about evolved humans, no Ru's power. Ru's sonic sound ability is considered to be the strongest in the world.

Perhaps it is related to this boy's unusually fast growth.

"What are we going to do about a nanny? Should I just ask Jae?"

"No, that won't do in the long run. Jae's powers are weak, but he is an important figure in akagumi." Sumire trailed off. "Do you remember what I told you about? San had a caretaker before."

She initially planned to bring that woman over to her side. After all, that person has been a servant of the Nagawa household for a very long time. Surely she has more information than most people would. In order to win her over, she has to use her cute son as bait.

Back when she dated Sano, that person was the only kind servant in the estate. She could tell the moment they met; this one does not lie. She speaks nothing but the truth. With time comes wisdom; perhaps it was because the lady was the eldest servant. But even then, there was something different.

'I have to take advantage of that kindness.' "That person is indebted to me; if she hears I am calling for her, she will surely come."

After all, she did save her; there was chaos in Sano's household that day. She arrived just in time to save the nanny from being pushed down the stairs. In saving her, she ended up falling down.

Yuhi sighed deeply. "But if Nagawa hears about it, he will surely involve himself."

"True, but you should allow them to meet. Who knows, maybe she can stop him from being crazy?"

"Somebody does need to teach him to stop touching something that doesn't belong to him."

Sumire laughed. "You have a cute side to you, Yuhi."

"Cute, huh? Then do I need to remind you again?" Yuhi trapped her against the wall, but she easily broke free.

"You do not need to; tonight, I shall grant your request. But for now, allow me to do some homework since we are still students."

"You could just copy mine."

For somebody who slacks off so much, he gets his assignments done so quickly. "Then Yuhi-san, why don't we study together to make yourself useful?"
