Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 237 Under the Tengu Mountain Hot Spring

Chapter 237 Under the Tengu Mountain Hot Spring
If you want to stay at Tengu Mountain, you need to bring some spare clothes.

Takeda Maki returned to her room on the second floor and opened her closet.

A whole closet full of formal suits.

"only these?"

Takeda Shinki frowned. Most of her clothes were in cool colors, which were completely incomparable to her sister's charming suits.

"Is that why I keep getting rejected?"

Takeda Shinki's fingers slid across the high-end fabric of the suit. She actually didn't quite understand Ryuukawa Toru.

If he felt insulted by the idea of giving him money in Tokyo, he had already refused last night.

“When will it end?”

Takeda Shinki sighed helplessly.

In fact, Ryukawa Toru and the other man didn't know that while Takeda Takako was desperately squeezing Ryukawa Toru, Takeda Shinki could also experience the same situation through subtle movements next door every night.

In the darkness, every sense is magnified.

Takeda Shinki felt like she was in the bathroom and on the balcony.

In places that you wouldn't even dare to think of.

The more noisy her sister became, the more dependent her body became on that boy.

It has reached the point where she starts to have dirty thoughts when she sees Toru Ryukawa's exposed skin. Takeda Maki feels that her plan for a one-night stand with Toru Ryukawa must be implemented quickly.

I picked out a diamond-patterned yukata and went downstairs. I was going to take a hot spring bath tonight, so this spacious yukata would be more suitable.

"They left?"

When Takeda Shinki went downstairs, only Ryukawa Toru and Takeda Takako were downstairs.

It’s more than ten kilometers from Funamizaka to Tenguyama.

Takeda Maki arranged two cars, and Tanabe Chiyo and Edogawa Shizune left first.

"Well, let's go, it will be too late later."

Mrs. Takeda seemed a little anxious. She pushed the two of them into the car quickly, let Takeda Shinki sit at the innermost, and she sat in the middle.

The three of them formed a man-woman-woman posture, and Longchuan Che moved his body a little as he felt a little crowded.

“Why don’t you let me sit in the front?”

Longchuan Che was dragged to the back seat by his wife. He felt a little crowded and put his hand on his wife's shoulder.

"talkative."

The wife rolled her eyes at Longchuan Tetsu, then spoke to her sister in a good mood.

"Sister, what are you looking at?"

After getting in the car, Takeda Maki was a little silent, or perhaps the two sisters didn't talk much today.

The two of them were in an awkward situation, wondering whether the window paper would break or not.

"this."

Keeping repeating "I'm sorry Takako" in her heart, Takeda Shinki closed the book and showed it to the other party.

"I carry the universe with me?"

There was a picture of a man with a mustache on the olive green cover of the book. Takeda Takako was stunned because she had never heard of this book before.

"It's a collection of poems."

Longchuan Che took a glance and thought that this woman really loved foreign poetry.

"Pessoa's."

Some familiar names made the two sisters silent. It was already tacitly understood that the two sisters slept in the same bed that night.

"Oh, that Portuguese poet."

The lady's tone was somewhat teasing.

"Let me take a look."

Takeda Shinki was flipping through the middle of the book, and Takeda Takako took it and glanced at it.

The poem begins with "The Shepherd in Love" and is composed of a group of eight poems. The one that Takeda Maki read was "The Bright Moon Hanging High in the Night Sky."
-
The moon is high in the night sky, and it is spring now.
-
I think of you and am whole inside.
-
A light breeze blew towards me across the empty fields.
-
I think of you and whisper your name. I am not myself: I am happy.
-
Tomorrow you will come and pick flowers with me in the fields
-
I will walk with you through the fields and watch you pick flowers.
-
I see you gathering flowers with me in the fields to-morrow,—
But when you come tomorrow and do pick flowers with me,
-
That would be real joy and something completely new for me.

I don’t know if it’s psychological, but Mrs. Takeda always feels that these poems are sour.

The thought of my sister asking Ryukawa Tetsu to read these poems to her made me feel a little sad.

The wife snorted coldly and turned directly to the song "My Heart is Late".

It's strange that Mrs. Takeda thought it would be a very sour and corny love poem, but everything was crossed out by Takeda Shinki.

Just one sentence.
-
May the gods allow me to escape from love and have the cold freedom in the height of nothingness.

"What does it mean?"

Mrs. Takeda was stunned, not understanding why her sister only left such a sentence.

"that is…"

"Means nothing."

Before Ryukawa Toru could start explaining, Takeda Maki interrupted him.

"This is one of my favorite passages, and it can be considered as..."

Takeda Maki hesitated for a moment and looked at Ryukawa Toru.

"My view on love."
-
May the gods allow me to escape from love and have the cold freedom in the height of nothingness.

What Takeda Maki meant by this was that she wanted to be a sober and independent person. She might be interested in Ryukawa Toru now, but she would not stop because of Ryukawa Toru.

The wife obviously didn't understand some of the words that showed weakness. Takeda Takako curled her lips and threw the book to her sister.

"Take your time to read it."

The wife leaned towards Longchuan Che, hugged him and closed her eyes to rest.

The car was carrying three people and heading towards Tengu Mountain.

The starry sky was dim and lonely in the dark night, and Takeda Maki was in a daze, hugging a book.

She felt guilty about her sister, but as the physical contact lasted longer, the guilt faded.

At first, I was shy even in my dreams, but last night, I felt calm and at ease when I hugged Longchuan and took a bath together.

Something strange awakened in her body, it was the spring of love that had been suppressed for more than ten years.

Just like the second day after arriving in Otaru, the feeling of shame overwhelmed the panic, and the desire for men overwhelmed the shame.

"May the gods allow me to escape from love and have the cold freedom in the height of nothingness."

Takeda Maki repeated these words again.

The reason why she insisted to Longchuan Tetsu that it was just a one-night stand was that she felt that her desire for him would disappear after sleeping with him once.

Those ambiguous things that came into being from nothing were piled up on me because of my sister's mischief.

Just sleep once.

Takeda Maki looked at Ryuukawa Toru.

"Just once will do."

The woman blinked in the dark, wondering if Longchuan Che heard it.

Some people regard him as a panacea for sexual desire, but Longchuan Che is unaware of it.

As he was yawning lazily, someone pulled his hand.

"what?"

Longchuan Che lowered his head and leaned close to the ear of the one pretending to be asleep.

The two of them were whispering to each other, and Takeda Maki sighed.

My sister really gave me a big problem. She wanted to sleep with the man she brought back.

Comfort yourself with the words from Hard-boiled Wonderland by Ryukawa Toru.
