Chapter 499: Sumire’s secret

Shishio was in a daze.

After all, who would expect he would receive such a sudden confession?

Here, Shishio came to the Sunoharasou to fight against the Demon Queen, but the middle boss wouldn’t let him and attacked him with a sneak attack, causing him a loss. He also somewhat realized how Ritsu felt at that moment.

Being confessed so suddenly, out of the guard, wouldn’t make one happy.

Instead, it made one confused.

The atmosphere was extremely important.

However, after a momentary loss, Shishio quickly woke up and realized what had happened.

Sumire had confessed to him!

If Sumire was just nobody, Shishio would just reject her without hesitation, but he knew Sumire, and he must admit this girl was beautiful. However, more importantly, he felt her identity was the most troublesome. This identity could cause him several problems.

After all, Sumire was a middle school student. She might not be young, but she also wasn’t an adult either. She was in the middle between those two lines, which was dangerous, depending on what he was doing.

If possible, Shishio just wanted to reject her, but he was afraid he might cause her emotional trauma.

It was okay if Sumire was a high school student, but she was a middle school student after all.

This had nothing to do with the system or not. After all, there were many women and even men who triggered his system, yet he didn’t do anything.

“Shishio-nii..”

Sumire was so nervous, waiting for her answer, but since Shishio didn’t say anything, she got nervous and called out his name.

“Sorry, I was just surprised.” Shishio knew he had to smile at this moment and said, “By the way, can I sit down on your bed? We can talk there.”

“Okay.” Sumire nodded since she also knew her confession was so abrupt, and it was also her first experience doing this. It was also because of this reason she was nervous and scared since she didn’t want to be rejected.

If possible, Sumire wanted to be accepted.

However, Sumire just didn’t know what Shishio was thinking, and somehow she felt regret about what she was doing. If possible, she wanted to enter the time machine, so she could go back to the past where she didn’t need to do this again.

“Thank you.”

However, his answer cleared up her cloudy heart.

“I am happy to hear your confession,” Shishio said frankly since he would be lying if he didn’t feel happy to receive a confession from a cute girl such as Sumire. Still, it wasn’t his first time to be confessed by a beautiful girl, and he had gotten a lot of them. However, the time he spent with Sumire was different from those who were confessing to him recklessly.

Sumire’s confession was more special.

“Then..” Sumire looked at Shishio happily.

“I am Nana’s boyfriend, you know?” Shishio said, thinking Sumire would give up.

However..

“But you also date Ayaka-san, right?” Sumire said.

“..How did you know?” Shishio asked dumbfoundedly.

Sumire pouted and said, “I think it is obvious. Ayaka-san doesn’t exactly hide it, and..”

“And..?”

“I happen to hear her..” Sumire blushed and said, “Mo-Moan..”

“When?” Shishio became even dumbfounded.

“After you stayed on Sunoharasou, we returned from the flower park,” Sumire said frankly, without hiding anything.

“....”

Shishio was in silence and thought for a moment. He knew he usually wouldn’t let his guard down, but when it happened on his lower body, he often lowered his guard, and he just lacked his defense at that time.

Shishio didn’t even care about Aki at that time. How could he care about Sumire?

Sumire was about to go to the toilet, but she heard a strange noise from Ayaka’s room. While she was embarrassed, she tried to listen before her face turned red instantly. However, she didn’t say anything and just kept silent, listening to what they were doing from the stairs.

Back then, her heart almost jumped out when Aki walked out of his room.

‘Fortunately, it was Aki. If it was him..’ Sumire thought before. However, it was only for a moment before she listened to what they were doing. She kept listening and felt speechless since it was too long, right?

In the end, Sumire didn’t fall asleep and kept listening until dawn.

However, Sumire couldn’t sleep and just rolled around her bed, thinking about what had happened.

Still, when they met in the morning, it might be because Shishio’s mind had been preoccupied with his trip with Hina, so he didn’t notice the strangeness on Sumire.

More importantly, when Sumire saw Shishio was on Sunoharasou when everyone went to the school, she knew Shishio and Ayaka were doing “it” together.

“You know all of that, yet you still confess to me?” This was something Shishio didn’t understand. Sumire knew what kind of bastard he was, yet she still confessed to him?

Shishio wondered what was on the mind of this girl.

“I know it might be weird, but at that time..” Sumire looked at Shishio and said, “When you told me your favorite flower is violet (Violet is called Sumire in Japanese), I fell for you.”

“....”

Shishio was in silence and caressed Sumire’s head gently. “Thank you.”

“No problem.” Sumire leaned forward and hugged him subconsciously.

“So even if I have other girls, you’re alright with it?” Shishio asked.

“Yes.” Sumire nodded shyly.

“But, sorry, I refuse,” Shishio said.

“....” Sumire was in a daze when she heard his answer. They were right on the right track, and she thought they would become a couple now, but who would expect him to reject them?

“Why?” Sumire asked.

Shishio wiped the tears from her eyes and said, “You’re too young, Sumire.”

Sumire puffed her cheeks and said, “I am already an adult!”

“....”

Shishio couldn’t say anything since Sumire wasn’t wrong since, with her body, it wouldn’t be weird to be mistaken as an adult. However, even if her body was an adult, he knew she was a middle school student.

“Also, our age difference isn’t that much different,” Sumire said, sounding like a complaint.

“..”

Shishio only realized their age difference was only two years. He was a freshman in high school, and Sumire was in her second year of middle school. Their age wasn’t that much different, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Even the people in the medieval era and in the past had married their women when they were 14 years old.

In other words, Sumire was already an adult.

However, Shishio looked at Sumire and said, “Let’s wait until you enter high school. If your feeling doesn’t change, then let me hear it again.”

Sumire wanted to complain, but she knew she couldn’t, and in the end, she gave up and decided to say her feelings when she entered a high school. However, she wouldn’t let him come back. “Are you going to sleep in Ayaka-san’s room?”

“Well, yeah.” Shishio nodded since there was nothing to hide anymore from Sumire.

Sumire looked at Shishio for a moment and asked, “..Can.. Can we sleep together?”

“...” Shishio.

“Sorry, but no.” Shishio rubbed Sumire’s head gently and said, “Calm down, alright? Why are you in a hurry?”

Sumire lowered her head and felt disappointed.

“Sumire, you should remember in Sunoharasou, I am Ayaka’s boyfriend, so I can’t make you the priority.” Shishio stood up and said, “Then, I’ll go back.” He patted her head again, but his wrist was grabbed. “What’s wrong?”

“If I do well on the exam, can you give me a reward?” Sumire suddenly asked.

“..What kind of reward do you want?” Shishio asked speechlessly, but he didn’t refuse.

Sumire thought for a moment and said, “Let me keep it for later. I haven’t thought about it.”

“Okay.” Shishio nodded, then said, “Then, good night. Have a good dream.”

“Wait, Shishio-nii!”

“Hmm? What is it again? Do you want a good night kiss or something?” Shishio joked, but..

Sumire blushed and nodded.

“..” Shishio.

Sumire usually had this sleepy and calm expression on her face, but right now, her face flushed red, and her breathing was a little hard.

“....”

Shishio just put Sumire on the bed naturally and covered her in a blanket. His movement was so natural that Sumire could only let her body be manipulated by him. She lay on her bed comfortably before her forehead was kissed.

“Good night, Sumire.”

“..” Sumire.

Shishio then walked out of Sumire’s room, but suddenly few people fell in.

“Waah!”

“Don’t drop on the top of me, Yuri!”historical

“Ayaka-san, yo’re too heavy!”

“How cruel!”

“....” Shishio and Yuri.

However, Shishio naturally closed the door after he turned off the light, leaving Sumire alone in the room.

Sumire touched her forehead and could still feel the warmth of his lips. She smiled happily and felt she could have a nice dream tonight.

On the other hand, Shishio looked at Yuzu, Yuri, and Ayaka, who were in front of him. “What are you doing?”

“Hehehe..” 3x

The three could only laugh.

Shishio glanced down and saw Aki didn’t follow, but Aki was still concerned, showing a hesitation about whether he should climb up or not.

Shishio could only shake his head and said, “You should sleep early. You have school tomorrow, right?”

“Shishio-nii, what were you talking about with Sumire-chan?” Yuri asked, and this caused Ayaka and Yuzu to look at Shishio at the same time.

“Sorry.” Shishio shook his head and said, “I can’t tell you since it is her secret, but if she tells you, then I won’t say anything, so if you want to know, just ask her.”

They tried to ask, but they knew it was futile since Shishio’s mouth was as tight as the vault of IRS. They could only give up and decided to return to their room while thinking of asking Sumire when they were at school.

On the other hand, Shishio and Ayaka walked down together, but Shishio could feel Ayaka’s stare at him. He let out a sigh and whispered, “I’ll tell you later.”

Ayaka nodded with a smile.

When the two walked down, they suddenly saw a bolt of small thing that moved in the direction of Aki’s room. They didn’t doubt that it should be Aki, who ran back to his room. They didn’t really know why Aki suddenly ran, but they felt he should be embarrassed or something to be seen trying to peek at what happened on the second floor.

While Ayaka looked at Aki in doubt, she felt a hand on her waist. She let out a coquettish squeal and looked at Shishio in red. “What if we’re seen?”

“Don’t worry. It’s safe.” Shishio carried Ayaka in his arms and said, “Let’s go to your room.”

“..” Ayaka must admit she just couldn’t fight back against Shishio.

“Um.”

In the end, they did it again, and they must admit, they wouldn’t get tired no matter how long they did this.
