Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 118 Gradual Desire (Two chapters combined, updated ahead of schedule)
Upon hearing Shion say that Saori was right beside her, Shiratori Seiya was taken aback and couldn't help but ask:
"How did you end up with Saori?"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Shione glanced at the girl beside her and said:
"It was a chance encounter."

Noticing the gaze Hojo Shione was giving her, Saori's ears twitched, and she reached out to snatch her phone:

"Saori wants to talk to Seiya."

Upon seeing this, Hojo Shione quickly stood up and dodged aside, holding the phone in her other hand.

"By chance?"

Hearing what Shion said, Shiratori Seiya couldn't help but want to ask how the two of them had met, but since it was on the phone, he continued to ask:
"Is Saori alright?"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Shione was taken aback at first, then chuckled as if she had heard a funny joke, and asked in return:
"Kiyoshi, what do you think could possibly happen to her? Even if she encounters a thug, she'll probably end up taking her to the police station anyway..."

Before she could finish speaking, Saori Hasegawa grabbed her arm with one hand and easily snatched the phone away with the other.

This bastard!

Her arm was both painful and numb from being gripped so tightly. Hojo Shione glared fiercely at Saori, cursing her in her heart over and over again.

I really don't know how such a monster was raised.

Hojo Shione couldn’t help but wonder if she was even a woman. With that kind of superhuman strength, she could definitely participate in men’s fighting.

She twisted and turned several times, using both her hands and feet, finally escaping from the other person's clutches. Rubbing her wrist, a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she stared at the other person...

"It's not that simple. There's always something unexpected that might happen. After all, Saori isn't invincible..."

"Kiyo, Saori is alright."

When Hasegawa Saori's voice suddenly appeared in his ear, Shiratori Seiya was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and his expression became complicated.

He glanced at Mio, who was staring at him, then turned to look out the window, took a deep breath, and said:
"Saori, I'm sorry."

"Eh?"

Why should Kiyoya apologize?

“Saori knows that Kiyoya must have had something to do to avoid watching Saori’s match. Saori isn’t blaming Kiyoya.”

Hearing her say that, Shiratori Seiya's mood didn't improve; instead, he felt a little heavy-hearted and sighed:
"Even so, after all..."

"Saori was just worried that something had happened to Kiyoya, so she came back to find him."

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Seiya thought for a moment and asked:

"By the way, Saori, didn't you see the message I sent you?"

After the words were spoken, there was a moment of silence from Saori Hasegawa on the other end of the phone. Shiratori Seiya, thinking the call had ended, glanced at his phone screen, saw the 'busy' display, and called out to the other end:
"Saori?"

"Saori lost her phone."

"Yes, Saori won..."

"Because I promised Kiyoya I would win, Saori will win whether Kiyoya is there or not..."

"The next match... there's another one next month, it's the finals..."

"Yes, I know, Kiyoya is the best."

"..."

Hojo Shione sat on the sofa directly opposite Hasegawa Saori, listening to her words and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

If she weren't on the phone right now, I'd really like to ask her where the imposing aura she had when she pointed the long sword at me went.

Whenever she sees Seiya, she becomes weak and docile, like a little lamb.

That's really disgusting.

Shiratori Seiya definitely misjudged the person this time; Hasegawa Saori is clearly more suited to be an actress.

They said they didn't care, they said they were worried about Kiyoya's safety, they said they lost their phone...

They're all just excuses.

If she really didn't care, she wouldn't be standing here tonight.

If they were really worried about Kiyosai's safety, they wouldn't have gone to check on Takahashi Mio's house first.

The excuse of losing her phone is really laughable. There are so many people in her club, does she think she's the only one with a phone? Couldn't she just call Shiratori Seiya?

They may seem innocent, but in reality, their hearts might not be much better than yours.

The reason he didn't reply to the messages was simply to deliberately leave Qingzai hanging.

The reason Kiyoya didn't see through some of the little tricks women often use to play hard to get was simply because he trusted her.

Hojo Shione watched her performance silently, finding it increasingly amusing.

"Saori..."

Saori Hasegawa seemed to want to say something more, but Seiya Shiratori suddenly hung up the phone. She stared blankly at the phone screen, a look of confusion in her eyes.

Seeing this, Hojo Shione walked over, glanced at her phone screen, and asked:
"what happened?"

Seeing that the call logs were no longer displayed, she snatched the phone back.

However, as soon as the phone was in her hand, a text message popped up at the top of the screen:
"It's not convenient to make a phone call now. Let's talk again when I get back tomorrow."

Hojo Shione responded with a comment, then waved in front of Hasegawa Saori to make sure she had read the message, before giving her a meaningful smile and asking:

"So, what do you think Kiyoya is doing right now?"

"..."

Saori Hasegawa didn't speak, as if she hadn't heard at all. She lay down on the sofa like water, adjusted her position, placed her hands on her abdomen, and closed her eyes lightly.

Seeing that she had eaten her food but still ignored her, Hojo Shione wasn't annoyed and asked with a smile:

"Looks like you don't even care who Kiyoya sleeps with? Should I say you're incredibly magnanimous?"

Without waiting for a response, she turned off the light and walked towards Shiratori Seiya's bedroom.

Since Saori Hasegawa is sleeping here tonight, there's no reason for me to leave.

However, just as she entered the bedroom and her bottom touched the bed, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from behind her.

Hojo Shione glanced around and saw that Hasegawa Saori was already lying in bed.

Shiratori Seiya's bed wasn't big; it could fit two people, but it was definitely not comfortable to sleep in.

This scoundrel!

Hojo Shione suppressed her resentment and stubbornly lay down next to her, wrapping herself in the blanket.

…………

At the Takahashi residence, Shiratori Seiya was about to tell Saori that he would go to watch the finals next month when he suddenly heard a series of 'patter patter' footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, there was a faint knocking sound outside. Judging from the direction, it was possible to roughly determine that she was at the bathroom door.

"Mio, are you inside?"

If it weren't for that sentence, Shiratori Seiya would have thought it was a ghost story.

Mio Takahashi's eyes widened, she immediately put her index finger to her lips, then pointed at Seiya Shiratori's phone, and silently said:

"It's Mom! Don't say anything, I'm going back!"

As she spoke, she tiptoed out of the room. A few minutes later, a series of soft noises came from outside the door, which then subsided.

Shiratori Seiya glanced out the window and, after confirming that Saori was alright, felt a great sense of relief. Although he still felt guilty towards Saori, at least he could finally fall asleep.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, the screen of his phone next to him suddenly lit up.

He picked up his phone and saw a text message from Hojo Shione:

"Kiyoya, did you go to the Takahashi residence today?"

Upon seeing this message, Shiratori Seiya was initially surprised, but then he remembered that she had asked him the day before yesterday about how to resolve conflicts with his parents, and he guessed it.

It's not surprising that I thought of this now.

He didn't hide it and admitted it directly.

However, this feeling was unpleasant; it was strangely like being caught cheating by your wife while on a business trip, with her asking if you'd slept with another woman. Especially considering Hojo Shione's impulsive personality, she was definitely not feeling good at the moment. After thinking for a moment, she replied:

"It's just dealing with some family matters; her parents are still at home."

"Is everything resolved?"

"Almost."

"Congratulations."

After a pause, she replied:
"Hehe, even after you explained all that to me, Kiyoya, I'm still a little jealous..."

"You've been to my house so many times before, but you've never stayed overnight."

"Also, regarding Hasegawa, I know you're probably feeling guilty right now, Kiyoya, but I don't want you to be sad because of it..."

"By the way, can you come back tomorrow? Actually, it's okay if you can't come back, I won't mind."

Looking at the messages sent by Hojo Shione, Shiratori Seiya felt inexplicably irritated. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I'll go back. Going to sleep." Then he turned off his phone.

Whether it's Saori or Shione, they both take emotions too seriously.

Is romantic love the only goal in their lives?
If only everyone could be like Mio, loyal to their careers and putting romance aside.

Unbeknownst to him, Shiratori Seiya felt as if he had been drawn into a whirlpool, and was being pulled deeper and deeper...

The next day.

Shiratori Seiya originally planned to say hello to Takahashi's parents in the morning and then drive away with Mio.

However, while driving, he discovered that the two rear tires were flat.

"Oh, your tire's flat! You're so careless while driving! It's okay, I'll call a car to tow it over and replace it in a bit..."

"Since we still have time, why don't you come and fish with me for a while?"

"..."

Seeing Takahashi Isao's sighing expression, Shiratori Seiya thought for a moment and understood what was going on.

It's not much different from what Mio said.

He really is a scoundrel. Judging from the looks of it, he won't be able to swallow his anger until he wins against me once.

"Kid, I don't know if what you said yesterday was a lie."

As Shiratori Seiya pondered how to make it up to Saori when he got back, and what Shione would say to him tonight, he suddenly heard Takahashi Isao's voice in his ear.

He turned his head and looked at his father-in-law's slightly weathered face, saying:

"without me……"

"You don't need to explain. Even if you're lying, I can't find any evidence right now."

Takahashi Isao lit a cigarette, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, and said:

"Actually, I even hope you're lying. If you're really that talented, you'll definitely have no shortage of women in the future. You know that without me saying it, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Seiya stared at the fishing float without saying a word.

"Don't make Mio sad."

Takahashi Isao suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely, saying:

"I don't care how many women you have in the future, just don't hurt Mio, otherwise I'll risk my life to make sure you suffer, understand? Think about how many years you can live, how many years you can enjoy yourself, and then think about how many years I can live, it's not worth it!"

Shiratori Seiya's heart stirred. He had initially thought that Shiratori was just trying to get revenge and that's why he dragged him into this mess, but now it seemed that getting a guarantee from him was Shiratori's real purpose today.

Despite growing up without his parents in both his past and present lives, he could still feel the deep love that Takahashi Isao, as a father, had for Mio.

He nodded and said seriously:
"I see."

Seeing Shiratori Seiya deep in thought, Takahashi Isao clicked his tongue and couldn't help but say:

"You're not actually planning to have three wives and four concubines, are you? Humph, you're not as honest as you seem!"

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Seiya was taken aback, not expecting him to be tricked like this. He opened his mouth, ready to explain.

However, Takahashi Isao waved his hand and said:

"Never mind, no one can predict what will happen in the future. I hope you are aware of this."

"When you have free time in the future, bring Mio back to visit more often. Anyway, we don't need another pair of chopsticks or bowls from you."

"Besides, my life isn't worth as much as yours."

"..."

They fished all morning, but in the end, neither of them caught a single fish.

Nevertheless, Takahashi Isao was still delighted, as if a draw was a victory for him.

After saying goodbye to his adoptive "father-in-law" and "mother-in-law," Shiratori Seiya led Takahashi Mio home.

However, while fastening her seatbelt, he noticed a flush on her face and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mio was taken aback, touched her cheek, and asked, "Is my face very red?"

"Ah."

"Cough cough, I, I'm fine... It's probably just the heat."

Mio Takahashi gave a perfunctory reply, then guiltily turned her head to look out the window. Her gaze fell on the trees by the roadside, and the words her mother had said to her that morning echoed in her mind.

'Mio, you haven't done it with Shiratori-kun yet, have you?'

'Even though you're still in school, now that you're married, it's time to start thinking about these things.'

'Is it shyness? Like you said, if Shiratori-kun is really that talented, you can't just rely on your looks to win his heart. Look at you, you can't cook, and I've never seen you do any housework. At least you should put some effort into that, right?'

'Do you want Mom to share her experience with you...?'

'...'

What a shame!

As Takahashi Mio thought about it, her palms became sweaty, and her whole heart felt sticky. She couldn't help but turn her head and steal a glance at Shiratori Seiya, who was driving.

My gaze swept over his eyes, nose, shoulders, waist, and thighs in turn...

My breathing became rapid involuntarily.

What would it be like to have sex with him?
‘Gudong. ’

She swallowed, her eyes becoming as thick and sticky as honey, and a wave of shame washed over her, staining the corners of her eyes and neck red.

【'Mio Takahashi' Affection Level: 77→90】

"What happened to you?"

As they approached the next traffic light, Shiratori Seiya watched his favorability rating soar on the screen and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned to look at Mio and noticed that she seemed to be acting strangely.

He frowned and quickly reached out to touch her forehead: "Do you have a fever?"

"Oh, no!"

Seeing him approach, Mio Takahashi instinctively dodged to the side, but then regretted it.

Couldn't he have been a little more assertive?

【'Mio Takahashi' Affection Level: 90→88】

Why did it drop again?
Shiratori Seiya looked at Takahashi Mio with a puzzled expression, wondering why she had suddenly started acting strangely, and couldn't help but ask again:
"What happened to you?"

"what……"

Do you want to have sex?

"?"
