Chapter 21

Tsukasa and Kanata kept kissing each other without stopping, but the more they kissed, the more uncontrollable they were.

It might be because they hadn’t seen each other for a while that their emotions couldn’t be contained anymore, and neither of them would part their lips when they almost lost their breathing.

Kanata felt that her lungs were painful, but even so, she didn’t part and kept kissing him as she greedily sucked oxygen from Tsukasa’s mouth.

On the other hand, Tsukasa was glad that he had trained his lungs.

As they kissed, Tsukasa let Kanata push him to the ground. While he was usually the one who was at the top and pushed his girls to the ground, she wore a white dress, after all, so he was afraid the dirt would dirty her white dress.

If they were in a room or a hotel, it might be a different matter, but they were in the forest, after all, so while it was exciting, there were also many drawbacks such as they might dirty their clothes during their battle.

Still, the battle between the two was fierce, and they were at a stalemate since Kanata had a geographical advantage and Tsukasa hadn’t released his limiter.

Well, part of the reason was probably that they just wanted to kiss for so long, enjoying each other’s existence as long as they could.

While the Blazers could increase their physical ability by using magic, their magic couldn’t increase their lungs capacity, so after a long battle, they parted their lips.

However, after they took a deep breath, they continued their battle for so long before they leaned their foreheads against each other as they gasped for air.

“I miss you,” Kanata said softly as she rubbed her face against his neck. Tsukasa’s body might smell of sweat because he had just done his workout, but the smell of his sweat was sweet with a slightly musky and manly scent, which made her want to smell it forever.

“….”

Tsukasa felt slightly complex before he let out a sigh inwardly and said, “I miss you too.”

Kanata smiled warmly and kissed his cheek. “You have worked hard.” When she thought about how hard Tsukasa worked was, she was moved and felt that there was no other man that could become her husband than him.

“…..”

Tsukasa really worked hard since his 15 years of life weren’t all rainbows. There was a lot of rain and storms, but he was able to charge forward with his will and determination. Still, it felt great when someone acknowledged his hard work.

However…

“I date Touka-nee,” Tsukasa said.

“It’s okay.” Kanata was still leaning on his chest as she played with his hands. “I also have a fiance.”

“…..” Tsukasa.

Did Tsukasa feel sorry for Kanata’s fiance?

Not really.

After all, even if Kanata had a fiance, neither of them had met each other, so there were no feelings that were built between them.

This was also a modern time, so a relationship such as an engagement might seem out-to-date, but the world of rich families was different.

After all, their marriage had the purpose of creating an alliance between their business.

An engagement or a marriage between two families might seem out-to-date, but it was the best tool for two businesses to create an alliance.

“You don’t have to break up with Touka-chan,” Kanata said.

Who wanted to break up with Touka?

Tsukasa thought inwardly since he didn’t want to be attacked by millions of sharp diamond fragments.

“If you can persuade Touka, I don’t mind you are dating her, but I’m the wife,” Kanata said with a serious expression.

So Touka was the mistress?

“….”

Tsukasa was speechless while wondering whether there was a way to legalize polygamy in this country.

“But do you think that your family will agree?”

Tsukasa didn’t comment on who the wife was, or who the mistress was. After all, it would bring many troubles.

What was important was whether Kanata’s family would agree with their relationship or not?

While Tsukasa might have money, he was just new money. He was an upstart who got rich in just a few years. In the eyes of those Zaibatsu or old families, he was just a small kid. After all, unlike them, his connection wasn’t as rich as theirs, and their power wasn’t something that an ordinary person could think of.

While those Zaibatsus or old families’ wealth might not seem much on the public, but on the private?

Who knows, right?

They might keep a lot of wealth or power hidden, and the only one who knew them was the core of their families.

“I have an idea!” Kanata said with a smile.

“What kind of idea?” Tsukasa asked curiously.

“You should know that a marriage between my family and my fiance is based on interest, right?” Kanata said.

“Yes, but you should know that compared to your fiance’s family, my wealth or connection…” Tsukasa didn’t continue since he knew that Kanata understood everything.

“No, you have something that they don’t have,” Kanata suddenly said.

“What?” Tsukasa asked.

“You’re strong.” Kanata looked at Tsukasa with confidence and said, “You defeated Kurono-director yesterday, right?” She had always believed in Tsukasa since he had always brought a miracle one after another. He also had defeated her and Touka in the past, so she had always believed in his strength.

“Well… that’s true, but that was because Kurono-director wasn’t serious.”

If Kurono was serious with the battle, Tsukasa was afraid that he might not be able to do anything.

“You don’t need to win the Kurono-director, but you need to become the winner of the 62nd Seven Stars Sword Art Festival,” Kanata said with a serious expression.

“Seven Stars Sword Art Festival?” Tsukasa raised his eyebrow and only remembered this event now.

“If you can become the champion, then even my father won’t be able to say anything about our relationship,” Kanata said with confidence.

“This year?” Tsukasa asked since he wondered whether he could win the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival next year instead of this year. He had prepared to strengthen his power by using his ability, but he wasn’t sure how much time was needed to become stronger.

“When I graduate, my family will tell me to marry right away, so you need to win this year’s championship.” Kanata looked at Tsukasa straight into his eyes and asked, “Can you?” While she might have said this, there was nervousness, hope, love, and confidence that she believed in her lover.

Tsukasa didn’t answer Kanata right away and stared into her eyes before he took a deep breath and nodded with a gentle smile.

“I can.”

“Tsukasa!”

Kanata hugged Tsukasa happily.

However, Tsukasa let out a long sigh since he knew he needed to work even harder.

Still, when Tsukasa thought he needed to become the strongest Blazer in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival to get a wife, he felt conflicted.

‘It’s just to get a wife, but why is it so hard?’
