Chapter 1031 This is me Part 7

HINO

Hino already knew what she was going to say. When he worked out Lucifer had a curse, and a beast inside him. He feared for Sumire's safety. So, he kept Lucifer occupied in the dungeons. He spited the man as much as he could.

"You're so silly Hino, you didn't have to do that for me. I may have lost my memories, but I still had my abilities. I could still fight."

Hino shakes his head. "It was the least I could do."

"Thank you so much." Sumire said softly. "No matter what I do, I will never be able to repay you properly. But there is something, I can do for you as my manager." She pulls away.

"I want to cross that bridge, that road and surpass her properly." Sumire beamed. "Think you can help me achieve that manager?"

Hino blinked and sighed. "You're?asking for it, I don't have a gold plated manager licence for nothing."

Sumire winked. "I'll be left in your capable hands."

After chatting for a few minutes, Mashima eventually persuaded Sumire to leave. Cassie who had been silent this entire time spoke up.

"During that time I was feeling overwhelmed with Takashi-senpai's performance. I thought of the last live I saw from Ibuki, I got the same feeling when I watched her. A beautiful and yet frightening performance. If it's her, I think it's truly possible."

Hino nodded in agreement. The moment Sumire recovers, it will be back to work. This time around, he will make sure she isn't interrupted. So she can walk on the road to her dreams properly.

YUHI

The moment he got off the phone, Yuhi entered the dream space. At first he simply wandered around for a few minutes. Summoning Sumire here is simple, even if she isn't asleep. He could use their bond and call for her. However, he wanted to go over the words in his head when he does see her. He isn't angry at her for sleeping with Lucifer. After all, he could have easily gone to fetch her or free her from that situation anytime. Renna would have been able to get her out, but he never gave those orders.

'I allowed her relationship with Lucifer to continue. I was the one who put her through that situation.'

So, he has no right to get angry. Even if the image of her entangled in another man's arms hurts. He did this to them both. He wandered through the space, and the surroundings decided to take on the form of a forest.

He wandered and wandered until he felt a familiar presence. He takes a deep breath, before turning around. There she was, standing in a hospital gown with her beautiful hair down.

"Yuhi." Sumire said softly, and then her gaze darkened as though she remembered something. She shakes her head and takes a few steps backwards.

Yuhi pulled the frightened girl into his arms and she immediately sobbed.

"Ssh, Sumire. It's alright, look at me."

Sumire refused.

"Please, wife. This is painful for me. I want to see your pretty face and kiss those soft lips of yours."

Sumire hits his chest. "Why do you always find a way to flirt with me?"

"You make it very easy for me to flirt with you love."

At those words Sumire raises her face from his arms.

"Hino told me everything."

At least Hino filled in the gaps, since he knew most of what happened due to Renna's efficient reporting. Seeing Sumire flinch, he sighs deeply preparing to explain how it doesn't bother him

"Why are you injured?!!!" Sumire suddenly exclaimed seeing the bandage around his neck.

"I ended up in hospital for three weeks. So I didn't question why you weren't appearing on TV for a while."

"Then while I was fooling around playing someone else's wife you were--" Sumire said horrified.

"Sumire." Yuhi cupped her cheeks. "Please just listen to me. I won't blame you for this. I should have known better. I was investigating something, so I was unreachable for a while." He explained.

Despite his vague explanation, it seems Sumire understood.

"You idiot! I told you, you can't do that." Sumire scolded.

If they weren't having a serious conversation right now. He would seriously consider pinning her down. There is something about Sumire scolding him that turns him on. Maybe he just likes being punished by her

Yuhi laughed. "There she is. My sharp tongued and cute wife."

"Oh you fool. You never listen to me."

"It's because my wife never rewards me." Yuhi said.

Sumire bit her lip. "Lucifer he I'm sure you-"

"Yeah." Yuhi nodded.

"I didn't. I didn't realize. I was in a daze everyday and there was no TV or internet or anything modern there. There was nothing that could have reminded me of you. But when I went out to town or whenever the servants spoke about their children, just for a second. I remembered giving birth to twins, to our children."

"Did you ever feel a connection towards him?" Yuhi felt his body tremble as he asked.

Sumire shakes her head. "I let him touch me but I don't know, it would feel wrong, and I'd think of black hair, brown eyes and infuriating smile?

Yuhi chuckled. "So, you were thinking of me while in the arms of another man? How cruel of you my wife."

"He would call me that a lot, and well it felt weird. When I asked him to use my name 'like he used to' he seemed upset." Sumire trails off and caresses his cheeks. "My dear, you don't look well, you're very pale and I think you have lost some weight."

Seeing her changing the topic and instead fretting about him like this, truly makes it seem like nothing has changed between them. But, now that Sumire has her memories of their past lives. Yuhi knew that nothing will be the same ever again, something will change between them.

Right now, they can act as normal as they want with each other. But, when they see each other in real life it will be very different.
