A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

The next second, Chihaya Tetsuya lowered his head again and kissed her lips.

A few seconds later...

“…Is that all right?”

"I want to kiss you again."

"I understand."

……

"Okay, now you can go to sleep, right?"

"Can you stick out your tongue and try again?"

"……this is not OK."

"why?"

"You'll know when you sober up."

"Is that so... Then, until I fall asleep, I hope to be kissed like this by Tetsuya-kun."

"Can I really sleep like this? But... never mind."

Just like that, under this gentleness that seemed to tolerate all her willfulness, Toyokawa Shoko experienced the happiness that she had never dared to imagine before, that is, being kissed by the person she loved until going to bed.

……

"..."

At this moment, consciousness had regained and memories were gradually revived, and Shoko Toyokawa's whole body began to tremble slightly.

What on earth had she just done?

First she acted drunkenly in front of Tetsuya-kun, then she spilled water on herself, took off her clothes in front of him except for her underwear, and finally she even cried and made a fuss just to get a kiss from him.

Her mouth must have reeked of alcohol!!!

Shoko Toyokawa almost shed tears of regret.

However, what she found most unbelievable was that even though she had exposed the most inappropriate and ugly appearance she could imagine to Zheye-kun, she still got what she wanted and got a kiss from Zheye-kun...even more than one. Until her consciousness completely disappeared, she clearly remembered the warm and sweet touch from his lips.

"!!!!!!"

Shame, happiness, and regret flooded into Toyokawa Shoko's heart like a tide in an instant, making her not know whether to cry or laugh.

However, looking at Chihaya Tetsuya's peaceful sleeping face and the lips that she had already tasted thoroughly, she couldn't control the corners of her mouth from slightly rising up——

"what……"

It was not until this moment that Shoko Toyokawa suddenly realized that their hands were no longer clasped together before going to bed.

But even so, the clear memory from between her lips and even the tip of her tongue still reminded her all the time that those memories that made her feel both ashamed and happy were all realities that had already happened.

"Forget it...it's already happened. It's no use regretting it now."

After waking up, Shoko Toyokawa regained her former strength.

She had long been accustomed to accepting reality and at this moment had only one thought in her mind.

"Well, you better get dressed before Tetsuya-kun wakes up."

After saying that, she looked around, trying to find the clothes she had taken off. However, when she found that the clothes had been dried and folded beside her by Chihaya Tetsuya, she suddenly realized another fact that she had not noticed before.

"So, not only did he dry my skirt and underwear, but even the pajamas I was wearing were put on me by Tetsuya-kun..."

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a sense of despair and hopelessness.

Not only did the person she liked see her at her most unruly, but she even had to trouble him to blow-dry her underwear... Not to mention that the underwear she was wearing today was not cute at all!

No matter how sweet the kiss is, it cannot cover up this most failed ending!

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko immediately turned her head again to look at the sleeping face beside her.

...Oh, forget it. No matter what, she will be punished by him next time, so she might as well take advantage of him now.

So, with this desperate thought, Toyokawa Shoko leaned over and prepared to kiss him again.

However, at this moment, Chihaya Tetsuya suddenly opened his eyes——

"……what."

Shoko Toyokawa's expression froze as she stopped kissing in the middle of the kiss.

"Um... Good morning... Tetsuya-kun."

"Although it should still be afternoon, but...good morning, Xiangzi."

Chihaya Tetsuya, who had just woken up from a nap, looked at Toyokawa Shoko's red face and said:

"...Do you need me to kiss you again?"

"No need! Ah, no... Actually... it's quite necessary..."

Toyokawa Shoko murmured shyly:

"If Tetsuya-kun doesn't mind, I'd definitely be happier if I could kiss you—mmmm!"

In this way, although the process was full of shame and twists and turns, Shoko Toyokawa finally got what she wanted, the "good morning kiss" that remained effective for a long time even after she sobered up.

Chapter 78: Chihaya Tetsuya's "Punishment"

"Because some of them had met you once before at the Toyokawa family, you wanted to use drinking to make them deny your identity based on your age?"

Chihaya Tetsuya crossed his arms across his chest and looked seriously at Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting upright on the bed in front of him.

"Even if I was quick-witted, it was still too chaotic. If Chu Hua hadn't reminded me in time, I really can't imagine what would have happened next."

"Well... now that I think about it, it might be a little bit messed up."

Having put on her clothes again, Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head and said:

"But I really don't want to miss this opportunity. In fact, I have gained a lot today..."

Not only the band, but also their love life has made rapid progress because of this.

Thinking of this, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly felt in a very good mood.

"Instead of using this bluffing method, why not let Chuhua do it for you?"

On the other hand, Chihaya Tetsuya could not easily accept Toyokawa Shoko's free and easy attitude.

"Everyone here today is very optimistic about the prospects of Summer Zodiac and hopes to collaborate with them further. Given this, it would be wise for her, the future lead singer, to introduce your project, right?"

"That being said, in my opinion, Tetsuya-kun's brand is more important than my band."

Toyokawa Shoko muttered:

"Compared to having Hoshino Ai accompany you on the promotion alone, the effect of her and Hatsuka together will definitely be better. Not only can it more fully demonstrate your abilities, but it can also fully demonstrate your close connection with [SummerZodiac]. And for me, as long as everything goes well for Tetsuya-kun, even if I don't get anything on my side, it doesn't matter..."

As Chihaya Tetsuya's expression seemed to gradually become gloomy, Toyokawa Shoko's voice also involuntarily gradually weakened a little.

"…I'm sorry, Tetsuya-kun."

"Why apologize?"

Chihaya Tetsuya asked expressionlessly.

"Aren't you very thoughtful of me?"

"But it's also true that I got drunk and nearly made a fool of myself in public."

Looking back on her confused state at that time, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"I will definitely be more careful with alcoholic drinks in the future."

Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and made a serious promise to Chihaya Tetsuya.

On the other side, after hearing these words, Chihaya Tetsuya nodded at first, and then maintained his promise for a long time...

……

……

"Hmm? Is that all you need to reflect on?"

It wasn't until nearly a minute had passed that Chihaya Tetsuya belatedly realized and asked:

"Besides the drinking incident? Don't you have anything else you want to apologize to me for?"

"Huh? Did I do something else?"

Toyokawa Shoko also covered her mouth in surprise.

"If that's the case, please tell me directly, Tetsuya-kun. I will definitely reflect on it!"

"...You're not aware of it at all, are you?"

Facing the sincere girl in front of him, Chihaya Tetsuya couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Let me ask you, Xiangzi, if we could go back to the day before the celebration banquet, what strategy would you adopt?"

"Hmm, so you mean to set aside a day to prepare?"

After hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko thought for a moment before answering:

"I should prepare a half mask so that the other party won't be able to recognize my identity from my appearance. This way, I won't need to drink anymore."

"……Then what?"

Chihaya Tetsuya asked further:

"Don't you have anything else to do besides the mask?"

"Eh? Isn't the mask alone enough?"

After hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko fell into deep thought again. Then she raised her head and said in an uncertain tone:

"Could it be... hair dye?"

"Contact me beforehand! Why didn't you discuss the day's plan with me first?!"

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko still couldn't get to the point, Chihaya Tetsuya finally couldn't help but remind her.

"And since you're already using a mask to conceal your identity, it doesn't matter if you join us, right?"

"But Tetsuya-kun's focus should be on those people related to the fashion industry, right? I don't want to take up your time with my own affairs."

Even in the face of Chihaya Tetsuya's strong attitude, Toyokawa Shoko still refused without changing her expression:

"I've already told you that Tetsuya-kun's brand is more important. I will never do anything that might cause you trouble!"

"But I was one of the reasons you formed the band, wasn't I?! Why make such a clear distinction?"

Chihaya Tetsuya was very puzzled by Toyokawa Shoko's stubbornness:

"I know you have your own pride, Xiangzi, and I'm willing to support you in striving for your goals. But at the very least, you won't alienate me because of this, right?"

"That's what I said..."

Faced with Chihaya Tetsuya's confusion, Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment, and then explained in a somewhat embarrassed tone:

"But look... whether it's Hoshino Ai or Su Shi, they'll be fine even without your help, right?"

“…That’s right.”

Hoshino Ai's charm had been discovered long before she met him again, but instead of relying on his help, Su Shi received a lot of help from her when she founded [StarrySky]——

"So, I don't want to lose to them at all costs."

Toyokawa Shoko's tone was quite firm.

"After I achieve certain results on my own... I want to stand by your side more openly and honestly."

"So, it's not because you're worried about being treated differently by me, but simply because you don't want to lose to them?"

After hearing this answer, Chihaya Tetsu couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

"You're a bit too competitive, aren't you? After you graduate from Filia, even without AveMujica, you'll be my most reliable helper."

"But before that, you must have been completely eaten up by Hoshino Ai and Su Shi!"

Toyokawa Shoko said with a tone of conviction:
