Seeing Hinaki looking at him, Ryuji was momentarily stunned, unsure of her intentions.
After a moment of silence, Ryuji asked, "This is a happy memory that brought a smile to your face, isn't it? I'm glad to see you smile. You're more beautiful when you smile than at any other time!"
"Life is full of complex emotions. We can only cherish the sweet moments that bring smiles."
At that moment, Ryuji and Hinaki seemed like a knight and princess.
Hinaki nodded after hearing Ryuji's words.
"If you had a choice, would you choose to live a normal life as an ordinary girl?" Ryuji asked.
Hinaki looked thoughtfully at the stars, considering the question. She had indeed pondered this.
"Before I met you, I might have. But after meeting you, you've become my concern. I won't leave you," Hinaki said, gazing at the stars. Turning to Ryuji, she added, "Because I think I'll be very happy with you."
This surprised Ryuji. Except for their encounter on Mount Natagumo, they hadn't interacted much. Hinaki's deep affection surprised him.
At that moment, Ryuji believed Hinaki's feelings weren't solely influenced by the system. He believed it was genuine.
Moved by her sincerity, Ryuji smiled warmly.
"I won't leave you either! You are a woman I, Ryuji, must protect for life!" Ryuji replied deeply.
Hinaki stopped swinging, stood up, walked to Ryuji, tilted her head slightly, faced him, and slowly closed her eyes.
Ryuji understood her gesture—an invitation to kiss her.
He didn't hesitate. He placed his hands on her shoulders, leaned in, and gently kissed her.
It was Hinaki's first kiss, and Ryuji felt her body tremble slightly, her breathing quicken. He could even feel her heartbeat.
The kiss revealed Hinaki's unique taste, completely different from Shinobu's.
After the kiss, a blush spread across Hinaki's fair face. Her heart hadn't settled; perhaps due to nervousness, she struggled to breathe, as if overcome with love.
Noticing Hinaki's distress, Ryuji placed his hand on her chest and used Wood Breathing to ease her discomfort.
"Hinaki, are you alright?" Ryuji supported her with one arm while using Wood Breath to soothe her.
