"I won't be going to Tokyo..."
Hearing what Sayu said, Amamiya Natsuki's expression remained calm, not surprised.
This Sayu originally lived in Hokkaido. After summoning Yuuko's ghost, her emotional knot was barely untied, so there was indeed no need for her to go to Tokyo. Choosing to stay in Hokkaido was perfectly normal—her parents, brother, neighbors, perhaps no friends, but all the familiar people and things were in Hokkaido. Going to Tokyo alone would be inappropriate. After all, they had only known each other for a few days.
"Goodbye, Sayu-chan," Kitagawa Marin waved goodbye, "Come play in Tokyo again when you have time."
Amamiya Natsuki followed, saying:
"Goodbye, we're going back."
His 'cheap daughter' naturally also needed her own life; as a father, silent blessings were enough.
Sayu's eyes shimmered as she looked at Amamiya Natsuki, her voice sweet and charming, saying:
"I will, I'll definitely go to Tokyo to play when I have time."
Amamiya Natsuki waved his hand: "Let's go."
Watching Amamiya Natsuki and Marin board the train, Sayu clenched her fists and pressed them to her chest: "Papa... wait for me to find you..."
"..."
Miss Nakajima was from Osaka and had already left earlier, leaving only Amamiya Natsuki and Marin.
Standing on the crowded train, Amamiya Natsuki looked at the Succubus Girl beside him and said:
"Shall we fly back?"
"No way," Kitagawa Marin's pretty face flushed slightly, and she glared at him charmingly, "I choose to take the Shinkansen."
Taking a plane was not only nerve-wracking but also involved being taken advantage of; it was too unbearable to even think about, and she absolutely did not want to experience it a second time.
"In medicine, there's a term called 'desensitization therapy,'" Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "When facing something you're afraid of, experiencing it a few more times makes you less afraid."
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening," Kitagawa Marin raised her hands to cover her ears, "Don't try to trick me into taking a plane."
"..."
They weren't in a hurry to return, so Amamiya Natsuki and Marin chose to take the Shinkansen.
The train slowly accelerated, and the scenery on both sides began to recede.
The bright morning sunlight streamed in, falling through the train window, creating a sense of tranquil time.
"Hmph..."
Kitagawa Marin exhaled softly, her fingers running through the strands of hair by her ears, and she whispered:
"I heard it, Yuuko-chan... she really regretted it, regretted it deeply. So many things were left undone, only full of regret and sadness..."
"As a player, you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first," Kitagawa Marin whispered, "I don't want to be like Yuuko-chan, leaving behind so many regrets and unfulfilled wishes."
The Succubus Girl seemed to have made some kind of decision, clenching her fists and looking towards Amamiya Natsuki:
"Natsuki, listen to me..."
Amamiya Natsuki shook his head and said:
"I won't listen."
"Eh?"
Kitagawa Marin froze, her cheeks quickly puffed up, as if a small squirrel had stuffed its mouth full of chestnuts.
Too much!
Absolutely too much!
She was speaking so seriously, and he wouldn't listen!
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Marin and whispered:
"I like Marin."
"Hmph~ I'm not listening."
Kitagawa Marin let out a soft hmph, crossed her arms over her chest, and entered repeat-mode.
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"Kitagawa Marin, please go out with me?"
"Go, go out?!"
Kitagawa Marin's golden hair trembled, and she quickly turned to look, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her pretty face rapidly turning red at a visible speed.
"You, you, you, what are you suddenly saying?"
As a gyaru girl, she had excellent social skills and had been confessed to an unusually large number of times. Kitagawa Marin couldn't even remember how many times it had been, but never before had her heart raced like this, with a feeling of joyful surprise overflowing from within.
Amamiya Natsuki repeated, his expression serious:
"I like Marin, please go out with me?"
Kitagawa Marin's pretty face was flushed crimson, and she stammered: "Who proposes on a train!"
"Let me finish first," Amamiya Natsuki paused, then continued, "I'm greedy, shameless, and besides liking Marin, I actually like other girls too..."
Hearing this, Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but puff out her pink cheeks. If she was a squirrel just now, now she had turned into a pufferfish.
Who confesses while saying they also like other girls! Are you an idiot!
Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot!
"Just as you said earlier, you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first. Some words, if not spoken, might never be spoken," Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "The premise of dating is sincerity. So, even though I'm greedy, shameless, and have even lost the right to be human, and I know you'll be angry, I still have to say it, because... from now on, I will never deceive Marin."
Someone always had to take the first step, otherwise, the relationship would never progress.
At this moment, Amamiya Natsuki finally made up his mind, completely abandoning his right to be human.
Kitagawa Marin bit her lower lip, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly, and she said in a resentful tone:
"You're so practiced, you must have said this to Chika-chan and them already, right?"
"No," Amamiya Natsuki shook his head, "Marin is the first."
"Eh?" Kitagawa Marin was startled, "Natsuki isn't lying to me?"
"I just said, I will never deceive Marin."
"So, I'm the first girl Natsuki has officially confessed to?"
Kitagawa Marin's eyes quickly brightened, the resentment on her face disappearing. She put her hands on her hips, proudly lifted her chin, "I'm actually the first person he confessed to, eh-heh... No! But Natsuki has to confess properly again. Who confesses on a Shinkansen, idiot!"
Amamiya Natsuki was surprised: "You agreed to date?"
"I didn't agree," Kitagawa Marin lifted her pretty chin, "What I just said was just for you to confess properly, it wasn't that I'd agree just because you confessed."
Amamiya Natsuki deliberately sighed and said:
"Then I'll go look for others..."
A sharp pain suddenly shot through his waist.
Kitagawa Marin's pink cheeks puffed up, and she glared at him huffily.
Saying something like that, even the most magnanimous person would get angry!
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me," Amamiya Natsuki apologized sincerely.
"Hmph," Kitagawa Marin gave a soft hmph, released her hand, "I agree."
"What?"
"I agreed to Natsuki's confession, I'll go out with you. The position of first girlfriend will absolutely not be given to anyone else," Kitagawa Marin glared at him, "However, you have to make up for the proper confession later."
"No problem," Amamiya Natsuki readily agreed, letting out a slight sigh of relief, and said, "I thought you would refuse..."
It's not like ancient times with three wives and four concubines; it's as hard as ascending to heaven to make a girl abandon her self-respect and agree to share her boyfriend with others.
When I confessed just now, I really didn't expect Marin to agree immediately.
"Actually, it's not that exaggerated." Kitagawa Marin hummed twice softly, leaned in, and whispered in his ear, "My friend, Ayaka-chan, whom you know, told me that she's currently dating three boyfriends simultaneously—one at school and two outside of school—and the three of them don't even know each other… Hehe, Ayaka can do it, so of course I can too."
What the hell?! Are all the hot girls nowadays this amazing?!
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly remembered a saying:
"Sir, times have changed…"
