Chapter 140

Hoshino Ai's gaze drifted, constantly shifting between the objects nearby.

What should I do? Mr. Talent seems really curious, but how can I possibly bring myself to ask him?

If he learns of my despicable actions and begins to despise and resent me, then I...

"Hmm--Although I really want to tell you, I don't know either." Her expression returned to normal, and she said regretfully with her usual cheerful face.

I guess I'm still that kind of person.

An inexplicable liquid began to well up inside me.

But this is better than that outcome—I no longer want to go through that.

"Oh, I see. Then nothing really happened. Never mind."

Looking at her sincere and calm expression, he had no choice but to give up and start thinking from a different perspective.

If nothing else happened, then it means Hoshino Ai's feelings for him have suddenly increased dramatically, right?

Is this really possible? Even Shiina Mahiru, who is currently the most desperate for love, has never given so much at once.

He stared at Hoshino Ai's delicate little face, which was filled with doubt and confusion—it really was possible.

This child's strength is simply too great! Is this the Pawa who lacked love? It's terrifying!

Absolutely adorable!

Regardless, this was a wonderful thing that made him laugh out loud!

Coming here today was such a great deal!

He couldn't help but keep smiling, which looked a bit eerie.

With this 5%, plus the efforts of the previous few days, his treatment progress is now about 17 or 18 percent complete.

A full recovery is just around the corner!

"Let me use your face wash, we're going to the amusement park later!" he said with a smile, then headed towards the restroom.

"Okay."

Looking at his back, Hoshino Ai was puzzled, wondering why he was suddenly so happy.

However, this was a good thing. She breathed out softly from her pale pink lips, relieved, and her guilt lessened slightly.

Recalling what she had just done, she couldn't help but gently touch her lips, remembering the wonderful sensation on her tongue, and her face flushed again.

Did I go too far? But this is my first time too, and I don't know what to do!

Waaaaah~~~

Since the remaining two items on Hoshino Ai's wish list were to visit the Tokyo Skytree and an amusement park, after some consideration, Sakurakoji Talent decided to go to the amusement park first.

When talking about amusement parks in Tokyo, Disneyland is definitely a name that cannot be ignored.

However, as everyone knows, Tokyo Disneyland is not in Tokyo, but in Chiba Prefecture.

As for why this is the case, all I can say is, don't worry about it or ask; you don't understand the world of capitalists. (Chiba Prefecture: Clown. jpg)

Although it was far away and crowded, Sakurakoji Talent decided to go there in order to best fulfill her wish and as a reward for her.

But it's already afternoon, so there's not much to do there, unless... you know what I mean.

Fortunately, there were indeed facilities for overnight stays there.

I'm sorry, Hoshika, I have to...

He opened his contacts, found Ichiji Hoshika's name, and clicked on it without any remorse.

He spent the entire afternoon and evening with Hoshino Ai at the amusement park, having dinner there as well. Before heading to the hotel, they watched the nightly fireworks display, a tradition they share every evening.

The two slept in the suite they had booked for one night, and then spent the next morning sightseeing before deciding to leave when it was almost time.

"What a pity, there's still so much to see!" Hoshino Ai said regretfully as she looked out the window from the departing car.

"What does the ocean look like next door? I want to see it too!"

"There's no need to watch it all at once, is there? Let's leave some suspense for next time." Sakurakoji Talent gently stroked her deep purple hair, offering a comforting smile.

"Hmm." Hoshino Ai sat up straight, nodded stiffly, and looked somewhat nervous.

After a while, she secretly observed Sakurakoji Talent, who was looking out the window, and clenched her fists in front of her chest, her heart pounding.

What she really wanted to say was that the fireworks last night were truly beautiful, and he under the night sky made her heart flutter; she wanted to kiss him.

If they had been in a relationship, she could have kissed him openly then, instead of having to be sneaky like before.

Her lips were a little dry. She wanted to confess her feelings, but she was afraid it would ruin their beautiful relationship.

If you get rejected, you'll have nothing.

Although she had her own clumsy self-awareness, she could at least see that he was no ordinary person and that she was not good enough for him.

After much deliberation, she loosened her clenched fist and decided to leave it at that for now.

After leaving the park, Sakurakoji Talent immediately took her to the Tokyo Skytree in Sumida Ward.

After buying tickets and going up, the two looked out through the glass from the observation deck, which was more than 400 meters high and crowded with people.

Unlike the very excited Hoshino Ai, Sakurakoji Talent was rather dull from the start.

Although this place is much higher than his Loft Apartment, once you reach a certain height, there's not much to see. It's so high that you can't see anything below except the buildings. To put it bluntly, the view from here isn't even as good as the view from his bedroom.

But for people who are coming for the first time just to see something new, it's actually not bad.

Half an hour later,

"What's wrong? Aren't you going downstairs?"

They took many photos, and even took a few Group Photo together in the same frame. Sakurakoji Talent asked Hoshino Ai, who was still reluctant to leave, with a puzzled look.

Even if it's beautiful, there are only a few angles to look at it from; just take a look and that's about it.

Is it really that good-looking?

"Well, actually, aside from being quite excited at the beginning, I didn't feel anything afterwards, hehe." Hoshino Ai stuck out her tongue cutely.

"Then why don't you want to go down?"

"Because the tickets are too expensive! They're enough to buy several bento boxes!" She pouted and frowned, looking accusatory. "It would feel like a waste if I didn't stay here a little longer."

"You're only bringing this up now...?" Sakurakoji Talent had no choice but to give up and said helplessly, "Then, watch for another ten minutes?"

"Yes! Let's do it that way!" Hoshino Ai nodded happily.

Twenty minutes later, the two had lunch at a restaurant in one of the buildings surrounding the tower.

After the meal, as we were about to part ways,

"Are you happy?" Sakurakoji Talent asked first, their eyes meeting.

"Yes, I'm happy!" Hoshino Ai nodded slowly, then added, "These have been the two happiest days of my life! Thank you, Mr. Talent!"

Instead of offering a silly "No, not at all" response, he gently stroked her forehead and simply stated the facts. "Don't worry, it will get better and better in the future."

"Or, how about we play for another two days?"

"No way," Hoshino Ai squinted, covered her mouth and chuckled, "The president has been urging me to go back so many times this morning. If I don't go back soon, I'm going to get yelled at to death."

"He's a real vampire, why don't we fire him?" Sakurakoji Talent suggested.

"I'm just an ordinary idol, and the CEO is actually a pretty nice person, so let's forgive him."

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll let him off this time." He waved his hand magnanimously. "Would you like me to take you home?"

Despite the appealing offer, Hoshino Ai declined.

"Alright, I can't trouble Mr. Talent any further. You have plenty of things to do, don't you?"

"It's alright, I guess."

"..." Hoshino Ai looked at him gently for a while, then said goodbye, "Then I'll be going. See you next time?"

"Goodbye."

She walked alone toward the station, feeling as if each step weighed a ton, her heart empty. Even though nothing had happened, it was as if she had lost everything, and the long-lost chill returned.

It was more painful for her than the arduous practice, more lonely than being alone in her room at night, and more tasteless than eating alone.

Was it this painful when we parted last time? She frowned, troubled.

I wonder when I'll be able to see Mr. Talent again? Tomorrow or the day after... that's probably impossible.

He's busy with training and performances, so he rarely gets holidays. Mr. Talent must be very busy most of the time.

But at least, it shouldn't be another month, right?

If that's the case, I won't speak to him for a week!

... No, three days, I guess.

Hmm~ One day?

Or maybe we should just forget about it...

Even if I could meet Mr. Talent, I wouldn't be able to own the real thing with him, would I?

I want it so badly, I love it.

Why is it that even though I have this name, I can't obtain this thing? Did the gods make a mistake when they created this world?

She gently kicked aside a small pebble on the road, puffed out her cheeks, and glared indignantly at the non-existent god.

"Like!"

A familiar voice and rapid footsteps came from behind her, making her move faster than she thought. Subconsciously, she turned around instantly, her eyes filled with his silver figure, and her empty pupils were instantly filled with light.

"What's wrong?" she asked with her usual simple smile.

Sakurakoji Talent, with his quick jog, came to her side, oblivious to anything amiss. He chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, there's something important I forgot to mention. I just suddenly remembered."

"Hmm, what?" Curiosity filled her pinkish-purple starlight eyes.

"Hmm--Do you remember I said yesterday that I wanted to introduce you to a new teacher?"

"I remember, what's wrong?"

"I was thinking, your current residence seems too far from her, making it inconvenient to give guidance." Sakurakoji Talent crossed his arms and stated his purpose, "If you don't mind, would you like to move to the apartment where she lives?"

"Huh?" Hoshino Ai's eyes widened, her expression hardening.

"But... that would be too much trouble for Mr. Talent... and it would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it?"

Even she could understand that a celebrity like him would never live in a cheap apartment like herself; the rent must be outrageous.

"Have you forgotten what I said yesterday?" He raised his hand, as if to flick it.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, realizing what had happened, and quickly covered her forehead in fright.

Sakurakoji Talent sighed helplessly, "This is not something you need to worry about. Leave everything to me."

"I just think this is the most convenient and appropriate way, after all, I also live there."

"If that's the case, I can help you more easily, and you'll be able to receive guidance more effectively and communicate with them more."

"What do you think? I think it's a good solution."

After hearing his words, she was stunned. She didn't hear anything else clearly, but one thing was firmly etched in her mind.

"Mr. Talent lives over there too?" Her eyes sparkled with surprise.

"Is that so? So, do you want to come?"

Hoshino Ai lowered her head; this was a path she had never imagined.

However, if we could live in the same apartment building, we'd probably have many more opportunities to see each other in the future, right?
