Tohka Party (3)

"Shido, look, the scenery here is really beautiful."

On the rooftop of Highland Park in Tengu City, a teenage boy and a teenage girl leaned side by side on the railing and looked into the distance.

From this place with higher terrain, you can have a panoramic view of Tiangong City. The lights twinkle like stars, illuminating the dark cityscape.

The girl had long silky hair like the night sky, and her crystal-like shining eyes were impressive and unbelievably beautiful. With a straight nose bridge and lips like cherry blossom petals, her appearance left an unforgettable impression for those who met her for the first time.

And that young man had a neutral expression and exuded a gentle aura. He turned his head to face the girl, and said softly, "You are more beautiful."

"Really?" The girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she smiled slightly.

"Really." Seeing the cute expression on the girl's face, the boy's heart beat faster.

When a girl said "The view is so beautiful", according to the convention, a boy had to answer "You are more beautiful". The boy recalled Yuzuru's words in his heart, and it really was true.

"Tohka, you were wearing this dress that day too, it suits you very well."

"Yeah." The girl named Tohka nodded and said, "It was my first date with Shido that day, and it was also here. At that time, I was undoubtedly a disaster for the world. People were afraid of me and wanted to eliminate me, only Shido was willing to accept me and give me a happy life." Saying that, Tohka leaned her head on the shoulder of the boy - Shido.

Shido gently stroked Tohka's head, and said, "Do you still remember what I told you back then? Even if everyone in the world denies you, I will accept you even harder than them."

"How could I forget?" Tohka's eyes sparkled, "It was Shido's words and everything he gave that made me understand the beauty of this world. At that time, Shido blocked the bullet for me, and almost died in front of me, and I didn't know what to do."

"What would happen to you if I really died then?"

"I don't know. I might do something terrible. No one can stop me anymore."

Hearing Tohka's words, Shido's heart trembled. He had actually experienced that kind of thing. Tohka in the parallel world, because of Shido's death, turned into a Beast and destroyed the world.

Shido patted Tohka's shoulder lightly, "With me here, I will never let that happen."

"I believe in Shido." Tohka continued, "So I really don't want to lose Shido. If someone tells me that I can make Shido safe if I disappear, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

"Don't say that!" Shido said in a powerful voice, "Disappearing or something, I can't accept it. During the year you disappeared, I thought about you all the time. Never a moment in my life did I forget about you, and I always believed that I could see you once again."

"Shido..." Tohka raised her head, listening to Shido's heart.

"In the beginning, I regretted how much I saw you disappear in front of my eyes, but I couldn't do anything. If I exchanged my disappearance for Tohka's return, I would also be willing to do it. —I would have thought so at the beginning, but now I don't have that kind of thinking, because I don't want Tohka to feel despair again. What I want is our—no, it's everyone's happiness."

"Tohka," Shido held Tohka's hands tightly, "No matter in the past, present, or in the future, no matter what Tohka has become, no matter what I have become, no matter what this world has become , I believe that I am still the same me, Tohka is still the same Tohka, and I will always stay by Tohka's side."

"Shido," Tohka held Shido's hands in return, tears streaming down her cheeks, trying to say something, but there were no extra words.

"It's great to see Shido again."

The boy and the girl hug each other tightly.

After a long time, Tohka raised her head and wiped the tears off her face with her hands, "Really, we will spend so much time together in the future, so why should we talk about these sad topics, Baka baka."

"Yeah," Shido said with a wry smile. "Then let's talk about something happy, what does Tohka want to do in the future?"

"In the future?" Tohka rested her chin on her hands, "As long as I can be with Shido, I can do anything."

"Haha," Shido said with a smile, "specifically?"

"Umu," Tohka thought for a while, then said, "I want to eat all the delicious things in the world."

"As expected of Tohka." Shido teased, "This is difficult, I don't have that much money."

"Then I want to eat Shido's meals every day."

"Okay, okay," Shido stroked Tohka's head, "Is there anything else?"

"Also," Tohka continued, "Go to university with Shido."

"Yes, but Tohka is missing a year of high school, so it might be difficult to go directly to university. Still, I will ask Ratatosk to find a way. Hey, Origami and the Yamai sisters are also in the same university, so it will definitely be very lively. Since Tohka wants to go to university so much, how could I not be satisfied with Tohka."

"Shido, don't get me wrong."

"What?"

"I don't want to go to university, I just want to be with Shido. Besides, Origami is also going to university with Shido. If I don't go, she will take advantage of that."

"Is that so?" Shido said with a wry smile.

"Also," Tohka continued, "I want to go on dates with Shido often in the future, so that I can eat more delicious food."

"Still about eating." Shido said with a smile, "No matter what your request is, I will satisfy you."

"Really?"

"Oh really."

"Really?"

"Really, really."

"Really really really?"

"Really really really."

Having said that, Shido sensed a weird premonition.

Because Tohka's cheek was slowly approaching Shido's face.

"Wait a minute, Tohka."

"Can't we?"

"No, no, it's..."

Shido didn't continue, because his lips were sealed by something soft, and a sweet taste came from his lips.

"Natsumi, Shido." After a while, Tohka moved her lips away and smiled at Shido.

"Yeah. Natsumi." Shido smiled wryly. The word "Natsumi" was made up by Shido to express love during the Natsumi Arc, but Tohka still remembered it until now.

"..."

Then there was a gurgling sound.

"Tohka is hungry." Shido touched Tohka's head and smiled, "It's getting late, so let's go home and have something delicious."

"Yeah." Tohka took Shido's hand, and the two of them walked on the starry road leading home.

A.N:

So sweet. Tohka and Shido have the most heart-warming confession.
