Tokyo: Becoming the Perfect Male God Starting with a Rented Boyfriend.

Chapter 34 Accident

……

After dinner, Miyazawa Itsuki cleaned up the dishes and sat down to drink barley tea.

Tsukimi Sakura was busy preparing tomorrow's bento and breakfast; the room was quiet.

His gaze inadvertently fell on the Holy Maiden's focused profile, and a strange thought suddenly occurred to him.

They look just like a newlywed couple.

A young couple working hard in Tokyo, living in a small but cozy house.

Of course, this doesn't mean he had any special feelings for Tsukimi Sakura; it's just that the atmosphere was very fitting.

The atmosphere was even stronger because I was also eating at Tsukimi's house and taking care of the aftermath.

Seemingly noticing Miyazawa Itsuki's silent gaze, Tsukimi Sakuna turned her head slightly and met his eyes.

"What's wrong, Miyazawa-kun?"

"No...it's nothing." Miyazawa Itsuki finished his barley tea as if to cover up his embarrassment. "I suddenly remembered something I need to tell you."

"I will be taking a day off tomorrow and will not be able to work at the coffee shop. I'm sorry there will be an exception on the second day and I will be unable to keep my promise."

Miyazawa Itsuki's expression showed a hint of guilt.

Even though he had already accepted Tsukimi Sakura's kindness three times, he felt somewhat guilty for standing her up the day after she introduced him to the job.

Upon hearing this, Tsukimi Sakuna smiled easily.

"It's okay, Miyazawa-kun must have something important to do."

"I'll be fine going home by myself tomorrow, because the new workplace is closer to home and I can get off work earlier. I should thank Miyazawa-kun for introducing me to such a great job."

The saintess's gentle voice lingered in Miyazawa Itsuki's mind until he fell asleep.

……

The next day was Thursday.

To avoid keeping Tsukimi Sakura waiting, Miyazawa Itsuki got up very early, which was unusual for him.

Standing in the corridor, in front of the Tsukimi family's house, I breathed in the cool morning air of Tokyo.

A short while later, the door to the Tsukimi house opened.

Tsukimi Sakuna lowered her eyes and yawned, seemingly a little sleepy. The yawn was accompanied by a cute nasal tone.

It's such a relaxed state, like a small animal.

But soon, she noticed Miyazawa Itsuki at the door.

"Good morning, Tsukimi-kun."

Miyazawa Itsuki tried his best to keep his facial expressions from giving anything away.

Just now, Her Highness's unguarded yawn was, to be honest, almost too cute.

Even with Miyazawa Itsuki's composure, he had to admit it.

That was an incredibly destructive expression.

It's a bit like the "girlfriend's morning face" trend circulating on social media.

Perhaps it's because I was too relaxed at home and hadn't adjusted properly when I went out.

Tsukimi Sakura froze, her cheeks quickly turning pink.

"W-Why is Miyazawa-kun here?!"

"Because I got up early today. I didn't want to keep Tsukimi-san waiting for me too long," Miyazawa Itsuki said somewhat awkwardly.

"That...please forget it..." Her Highness's voice trembled.

"what?"

Please forget everything you just saw!

Tsukimi Sakura said in shame and indignation.

"There's nothing I can do about memories..."

Miyazawa Itsuki, seeing the increasingly embarrassed and annoyed look in the Saintess's eyes, quickly changed his words:

"I'll forget about it. I promise, right now."

Her Highness looked at Miyazawa Itsuki with a reproachful gaze.

Actually, he didn't think that expression was a big deal. Although it wasn't like Her Highness's usual dignified demeanor, it made people feel closer to her and more protective of her.

If it were sold, I think someone would be willing to pay a million yen for it.

But considering Tsukimi Sakuna's feelings, it's best not to bring this up.

He handed over the lunchbox he had finished eating yesterday; it had been carefully washed.

"Tsukimi-kun, here's your bento box back."

Without saying a word, the Holy Maiden took the empty lunchbox and placed a new one in his hand.

"...This is today's."

Yes, it really exists, just like a dream.

Did he save the galaxy in his past life?

No, I remember my past life quite clearly; I certainly didn't save the galaxy.

Miyazawa Itsuki gratefully accepted it.

"Thank you, Tsukimi-kun. I will always remember Her Highness's great kindness."

"...Please don't use that form of address."

Tsukimi Sakura looked extremely embarrassed.

After handing the bento to Miyazawa Itsuki, Tsukimi Sakura's blush hadn't faded yet, and she hurriedly prepared to leave.

But halfway there, she turned back and said in a serious tone:

"Forget about it."

"Yes, I will. I'll forget about it," Miyazawa Itsuki assured him.

I promise I'll never forget it, not for the rest of my life.

……

Upon arriving at the classroom, the atmosphere was still somewhat noisy.

Miyazawa Itsuki put down his schoolbag and sat down. A cheerful greeting came from beside him:

"Hi, Miyazawa-kun, good morning."

Good morning, Asahi-kun.

Naomi Asahina smiled sweetly.

An outgoing male classmate joked, "Asahi-kun, that's so unfair! Why does he greet Miyazawa but not us?"

"Because we sit next to each other every day, it's easy to say hello," Asahina said with a smile. "Good morning, Fukuda-kun."

"Haha, good morning, Asahi-kun."

The boy named Fukuda beamed with joy.

Teenage boys are easy to handle.

Before long, Asahina Omi's small group gathered together to chat again.

But today, Sato He, who is supposed to be the birthday boy, looked a little off.

Chinatsu Nakano excitedly asked Naomi Asahina:

"So, is Nana's boyfriend really coming today?"

Asahina smiled like a girl in love: "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, he promised he would come over."

"I've been looking forward to this for so long, so what kind of person is Nana's boyfriend? Of course, no matter what he is, I will support Nana's choice!"

"He... is a very gentle guy to me."

Naomi Asahina hesitated for a moment before describing it this way.

Chinatsu Nakano's eyes lit up: "Gentle? Does Nana like gentle guys? Is he handsome? How tall is he? Is he a high school student or a college student?"

"Hmm~ He's quite handsome." Asahina Mi hummed in a pretentious manner.

"His height is even a bit taller than Takeda-kun's, and as for his education... uh, college student... yes, college student!"

Miyazawa remained silent.

Naomi, Naomi, you'd better not go too far with your story.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to help you cover it up.

Chinatsu Nakano pressed on, asking, "[Does he go to university in Tokyo?] [Which university?] [He seems to have excellent grades.]"

The further she went, the more obvious the guilt in Naomi Asahina's eyes became.

She clearly realized she was saying something that would give her away.

If Miyazawa Itsuki is asked about university and can't answer, he'll be in big trouble.

"Most importantly, how did you two meet? I've never heard Nana mention having a boyfriend before." Chinatsu Nakano's eyes shone brightly.

Naomi Asahina forced herself to speak:

"Haha... Hui-kun and I met during spring break."

"Huh? You've only known each other for such a short time? How did you two become a couple?"

Chika asked in surprise.

"..."

Naomi Asahina's smile showed obvious signs of stiffness.

"Well, how should I put it, the circumstances of our meeting are rather complicated... Let Hui-kun explain it when the time comes..."

Asahina realized she could no longer fabricate new lies, so she had no choice but to pass the problem on to Miyazawa Itsuki.

Miyazawa Itsuki felt somewhat helpless.

Her final decision was correct; the more you say, the more mistakes you make, so it's better to leave it to the professionals.

"Haha, Nana is actually shy!"

Chinatsu Nakano had no suspicions, but thought that Naomi, as a girl, would find it difficult to explain how she fell in love.

Because they knew they would eventually have to reveal it to everyone, the group didn't shy away from talking about Miyazawa Itsuki.

But in the classroom, when everyone heard that Asahina had a boyfriend, they all looked like the world had ended.

"...No, how could that be? Asahi-san has a boyfriend...?"

"Who exactly managed to win over Asahi-kun?"

"Damn it, he can't be let off!"

"My relationship ended before it even began..."

Unlike his classmates who were wailing and howling, Sato He looked like he had swallowed a fly.

Ryosuke Takeda, who was standing to the side, gently patted his shoulder and shook his head.

While the girls were enthusiastically discussing Naomi's boyfriend, Sato He remained silent, seemingly unsure of what to say.

The more information he heard about Naomi Asahina's boyfriend, the more negative his expression became.

Miyazawa Itsuki took in all of this.

……

At noon, Miyazawa Itsuki spent a short time alone in the Green Shade Garden.
