Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 113 Female Shura

As soon as Takahashi Reie finished speaking, Shiratori Seiya and Mio's expressions froze simultaneously.

Silence fell over the air.

Mio Takahashi was the first to react, and quickly looked at her mother and said:
"Mom, about the wedding, I think we don't need to rush..."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Reie didn't speak, but turned her head and gave her a smiling look, the meaning in her eyes couldn't be clearer:

Stupid daughter, shut up.

However, Mio Takahashi pretended not to notice. Her heart was pounding, her hands clenched, and she swallowed hard before continuing:
"I'm only a freshman in college, I haven't even graduated yet, why are we in such a hurry to have a wedding?"

"is it?"

Reie Takahashi nodded, then said thoughtfully:

"Then I think Mio, you don't need to be in such a hurry to marry Seiya, do you?"

She paused, then feigned confusion and asked:

"By your standards, wouldn't this be considered a whirlwind marriage?"

"It wasn't because..."

Isn't it because his father would definitely not agree to him becoming an actor?

Mio Takahashi realized halfway through her sentence that her mother must know all this.

His mother brought this up with Shiratori Seiya, definitely for his own good, but getting married now is definitely not an option.

Not to mention that Shiratori Seiya would never actually marry her, who knows what might happen if those two lunatics, Hojo and Hasegawa, found out.

Even the fact that he forged his marriage certificate must never be known to those two lunatics.

Mio Takahashi subconsciously recalled the sword that Saori Hasegawa had stabbed her in the kendo club, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

She frowned, her heart pounding with anxiety.

She bit her lip hard, then suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at her mother, saying:
"Mom, it's absolutely not okay to have a wedding now, is it?"

"Ok?"

Reie Takahashi turned her head to look at her, a look of confusion in her eyes.

Seeing this, Mio Takahashi said in a serious tone:

"I'm currently preparing for an audition, and after that I'll start filming. I won't have any free time for several months in a row, so how can I have time to plan a wedding?"

"Furthermore, to be honest, if I start doing these things before my career has even begun, and it leads to scandals or something, it will definitely not be good for my career development."

"Moreover, Kiyoya is also a screenwriter. Although I will definitely work hard to make the film based on my own abilities, I am an actor and he is a screenwriter. With such an ambiguous relationship, people will definitely gossip, right? That would not be a good thing for either me or Kiyoya."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Reie pursed her lips and fell silent, letting out a soft sigh after a long while.

She really hadn't thought of these things; the entertainment industry is just that complicated.

Seeing that her mother remained silent, Takahashi Mio felt a little more at ease, and her tone of voice was no longer as urgent as before:

"That's why I said it's too early to hold a wedding now..."

"Besides, I'm only a freshman now. I'm already married anyway, so it's not too late to talk about it after graduation..."

Reie Takahashi lowered her gaze, took a sip of her tea, and then looked at Seiya Shiratori and said:
"Does Shiratori-kun think so too?"

This was clearly a demand for his stance. Shiratori Seiya thought for a moment, then met her gaze and said:
"I chose to become a screenwriter because of Mio, so I don't care about fame or scandals. If Mio is willing, I would have no problem starting wedding preparations tomorrow."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Takahashi Mio with deep affection in his eyes, and said softly:

"Actually, I also want to see Mio in her wedding dress, and I want to personally put the ring on her finger while listening to the priest's prayer at the wedding..."

Instinctively meeting Shiratori Seiya's gaze, Takahashi Mio was startled. Hearing his words, her face flushed even more, and she couldn't help but look away.

But then, as if she had just thought of something, the shy look in her beautiful eyes receded like the tide.

【'Mio Takahashi' Affection Level: 80→85】

【'Mio Takahashi' Affection Level: 85→77】

"..."

Seeing the favorability rating fluctuate rapidly within just two seconds, Shiratori Seiya couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Since everyone knew it was just acting, why did you take it seriously? Why did it decrease instead of increase?

Was it because he took it seriously that he became angry and embarrassed?
As he was thinking, Takahashi Reie, sitting on the other end of the sofa, sighed as she listened to their conversation and said in a complicated tone, "Then it's up to you two." "By the way, if Shiratori-kun wants to take a bath later, Mio, could you help him adjust the hot water? I'll go make up the bed for Dad."

After saying that, she got up and walked towards the bedroom.

…………

Late at night, after taking a shower, Shiratori Seiya turned off the light and lay down on the tatami mat. He was usually asleep by this time.

But at this moment, he stared at the chat box with Saori on his phone screen, his brows furrowed.

The message remains unread.

Saori didn't send him a text message either.

After sending Saori a message in the afternoon, he didn't check his phone until he returned from fishing, all in an effort to persuade Takahashi Isao. He assumed Saori had already seen it, but when he checked his phone just now, he found that she hadn't.

Unable to sleep, he sat up and called the other party directly.

'Beep beep beep.'

The phone rang for a while but no one answered and it automatically hung up. He called again, but still no one answered.

He squinted, a bad feeling creeping into his heart, and walked to the window to call Fujiyama Keio directly.

"Hey? Shiratori-kun? Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

Fujiyama Keio's carefree voice rang in his ears, and Shiratori Seiya, without wasting time on pleasantries, asked directly:

"President, you're going to participate in the national competition this time, right?"

"Ah, yes, we just came back from a hot spring bath. We're going back to school tomorrow..."

They were eliminated in the first round, just as expected.

Shiratori Seiya had no time to comfort him and continued to ask:

"Was there any accident during this competition?"

"An accident? What kind of accident happened?"

Shiratori Seiya's words sounded inexplicable, and Fujiyama Keio scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face.

Hearing that no accident had occurred, Shiratori Seiya felt a little relieved, but he couldn't completely relax and continued to ask:

"Nothing much. By the way, club president, did the club that visited our school last time participate in the competition as scheduled?"

Upon hearing this, there was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Fujiyama Keio's voice, as if he had just realized something:

"Oh, I see. You want to ask about your girlfriend, right?"

"It's such a shame you didn't come today. She was absolutely dominant on the field, she was insane! During the gauntlet match, she didn't even need her teammates to come out, she single-handedly wiped out the entire M University kendo team!"

"You can check out the reports on the forums about today's match. She's incredibly strong. What do you think of her?"

"Uh……"

Fujiyama Keio's thoughtful voice reached his ears. After a long while, he slapped his forehead and said:

"The Female Asura! Yes, everyone calls her the Female Asura now. She's become famous overnight. It's said that an eighth-dan kendo master in the spectator stands is even planning to take her as his apprentice..."

"..."

Hearing Fujiyama Keio say this, Shiratori Seiya finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she wondered why Saori hadn't replied to her message.

After realizing they weren't there, shouldn't they at least ask themselves some questions?
Is she angry? That's why she doesn't want to talk to me?

Thinking about all this, yet feeling that Saori wasn't that kind of person, Shiratori Seiya's doubts remained unresolved. He interrupted Fujiyama Keio's exaggerated rambling and asked:
"President, do you have the contact information for the president of the kendo club? I can't reach Saori right now and I want to ask her how she is doing."

"what?"

Fujiyama Keio paused for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "Can't get in touch with you? Then I'll send it to you."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the contact information sent by Fujiyama Keio, some on social media and some by phone. He thought for a moment and decided to add him as a friend and ask.

However, just as the friend request was submitted, the sound of a door being opened came from behind.

'Shua...'

Shiratori Seiya turned around and saw a figure standing at the door.
