Eternal Melody

Chapter 85 - I Love This World

Sumire smiles, "But the actual reality is nobody actually knows what happened. What is the truth? Is there such a thing as the truth? Locating facts is very difficult. Geoffrey wrote something six hundred years later but it was not discovered until much later. So 'creative' researchers could find what they want to find. The deeper you dig, the less you see."

"You reading a story about knights now though is quite ironic. You still have five more left to find, don't you?" Yuhi questioned.

"I will be fine."

"That's not what I meant. I've thought that recently maybe it's alright for you not to find them." Although he vaguely worded it, the brunette understood where he was getting at.

This person seems to understand everything about her.

"Say Yuhi, do you remember what you said when you ambushed me during an event last year? You told me that if you chased after me that day, then the bonds I made with others would not have formed." She pauses and briefly shuts her eyes, recalling the events of that night.

'That's true. Maybe I am overconfident here. But let's think about this way if by any chance I did chase after you that day. If I did do that - what do you suppose would have happened? We would have been together, and we could have fought all those hardships you were facing at the time together. But in doing so, the bonds you created with others wouldn't have occurred. '

"I also saw what you were saying. Even though I wanted to stay beside you at the same time, I knew I had to separate myself from you. You know, even now, I still have my doubts regarding my bond and relationship with others. But, even that hesitation is minor."

It is small in comparison to what has happened after Ru passed away.

Yuhi reached over and brushed his hand on her face.

He is so close to her again, so close. "Yeah, I get it. You're stronger now. But you should still let people protect you. By the way, regarding those words, a part of me started to regret it, because I wanted to take you away."

"Aha." Sumire laughed. "I get it. But it's really fine now. We're together right now, and I know there won't be any separations anytime soon. You know I told Atushi this before that I have friends beside me, no matter what. There has always been one person there for me.

Whether it is large or small conflict and jealousy exisit in the world. It upsets me to see people continue to hate one another, even though this world is beautiful."

As she said this, she walked slightly ahead of him, her arms to the side as though she tried to balance herself.

"But I still love this world despite all this pain and suffering. I have faith in humanity and society. I believe it will continue to evolve. It might not be fast, but I believe we will continue to improve.." she trails off and smiles, "Even now I have those same feelings, no, they've probably grown a lot stronger. That's why I want to confirm it first. Until then, will you stay with me, Yuhi?"

"Of course." he trails off. "Hey, Sumire?"

"Yes?"

"I want to cling to your lips one last time tonight."

Suddenly he said something unexpected, and Sumire froze when she heard thoe words. It surprised her and yet made her feel happy at the same time.

Yuhi gently wiped away the tears that formed from the corner of her eyes. "There is no need to reply is there?"

Their lips softly laid on each other, and he kissed her hard.

He kissed her so hard that her lips swelled.

A massive tremor ran through her body, and a voice escaped her lips. "Ngh…"

"It's alright, Sumire, just a little bit more."

Before she could reply, his tongue invaded her mouth. His tongue searched for hers and tried to intertwine his tongue with hers. Embarrassed, Sumire attempted to escape. But he wouldn't let her. There was absolutely no escape from his strong arms.

"Bring out your tongue. It'll feel better, I promise."

Her vision started to blur when he deepened the kiss. Yuhi's words further increased her shame. This really is embarrassing. They are making out in a public area.

This isn't a command and yet she could not pull away. His voice is sweet and gentle.

She shouldn't. If she does, it wouldn't be one-sided anymore, and yet she couldn't resist as he said that she brought out the tip of her tongue. It became quite clear when he began to lick the tip of her tongue. It made her voice come out louder.

"Crap, is this too much?" he murmurs in her ear as he slowly brought his tongue out.

The brunette panted heavily, "Ahgh …idiot…why, did you do that so suddenly ?"

Yuhi laughed. "Well, my dear, you do realize we are dating, right? I think I can kiss you without asking."

That is true; they are dating. So yes, Yuhi does have the right to do strange things to her. But it still felt weird. He brushed his fingers across her lips, and she felt her heartbeat increase.

"So, Sumire, do you understand what type of person I am yet?"

What type of person is he? It took Sumire a moment to realize what he was talking about. She recalled how he kissed her moments ago and paused. "Ah...A pervert."

Yuhi's eyes twitched in annoyance. "Do you even know what that word means? How could you say that about me."

"Since we started dating, all you do is touch me. I actually think that you have a problem."

"What kind of problem?" He urged her for a reply, but Sumire did not want to say anymore. If she says anymore, it will become an issue.

"You're so very unpleasant, how can I get back now?"

Yuhi suddenly scooped her in his arms, and she blushed realizing that he was carrying her bridal style. "Yuhi put me down. I can walk by myself."

"Liar, you just said you couldn't walk. Besides, what are you shy? You carried me last time."

The brunette hit his chest, "Hey, is this your plan of getting back at me?"

He doesn't respond properly and merely smiled at her.

At this time, inside her, there is non stop beating.
