Master of the Machete Style Manga

Chapter 136 The Promise with Ai Hoshihara

Ai Hoshihara raised her leg and bent her knee, stretching her foot towards Ken Sakamoto.

Below was a cool wooden board, and above was warm skin. Although it contained some sand, the sand at the beach was very fine and not particularly irritating.

Since she had launched her attack without any attempt to hide it, Ken Sakamoto was equally determined not to back down.

He pushed the foot aside, stood up, walked around the wooden table in front of him, pressed down on the girl's shoulder, and made her lie back on the bench.

Ai Hoshino did not resist at all.

Instead, she enthusiastically lifted her foot, wanting to leave a few footprints on the boy.

But Ken Sakamoto didn't let her succeed, and directly grabbed her ankle.

Just as Sakamoto Ken was about to teach her a lesson, Hoshihara Ai suddenly turned aside to avoid it.

"Wait a moment."

As she spoke, Ai Hoshino picked up the bottle of whiskey, which was still more than half full.

Holding the bottle in his right hand, he reached out to Ken Sakamoto.

She poured the liquor directly onto Sakamoto Kenjiro's body.

After all, it's not reality, so there's no question of waste or not.

Ai Hoshihara said, "It's uncomfortable to have sand in it."

It turns out they wanted to wash away the sand.

The cool liquor dissipated the heat from the body, but soon, the alcohol irritated the mucous membranes, making the heat even more intense.

Sakamoto Ken grabbed the guy's restless feet and said, "Didn't you bring the sand up here?"

Hoshino Ai smiled slightly, curled her toes, which were stained with the wine, and said, "You, isn't this what you like?"

"I don't like sand."

More than half of the bottle of wine was poured out, leaving some. Ai Hoshino filled two glasses with it.

She picked up one of the glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

But you can see that her cheeks are bulging, and she hasn't swallowed the wine.

Hoshino Ai stood up, wrapped her arms around Sakamoto Ken's neck, and then flipped over, switching their positions.

Ken Sakamoto lay on the wooden chair and tasted the whiskey that Ai Hoshihara had brought him. The rich aroma of the whiskey hit his brain, and he swallowed it in large gulps.

He actually has a decent alcohol tolerance; this amount of whiskey shouldn't make him drunk.

However, Ai Hoshino had already drunk quite a bit, and now her face was flushed and her eyes were glazed over.

When she is sober, Ai Hoshihara has a calm personality that can send chills down your spine.

But after getting a little tipsy, she became passionate.

Ai Hoshino sat down and hugged the boy tightly.

Thus, he couldn't get up until Sakamoto Kenji did.

Reclining on a fairly spacious wooden chair, Ken Sakamoto embraced the woman in his arms, his eyes gazing at the sky.

Tonight, his memories have been completely brought back to the previous week.

Hoshino Ai's voice gently rang in his ears: "Ken, let me ask you, how many times have you experienced such 'dreams'?"

Ken Sakamoto stared intently at Ai Hoshihara and said truthfully, "This is the third time."

"Oh?" Ai Hoshihara's gaze sharpened. "I've been with you twice. Who was it the other time?"

“Of course it’s another girl,” Sakamoto Ken said. “I don’t know how I ended up in this dream… it’s just a coincidence.”

"Heh...you're dating three women, aren't you? What about the third one? Haven't you dreamt about him?" Hoshino Ai said.

Ken Sakamoto shook his head slightly and said, "Not really at the moment."

"There's one more question." Ai Hoshihara placed her hand on Ken Sakamoto's chest, gently stroking it. "What's your current state in real life?"

"Status?" Ken Sakamoto thought for a moment and said, "Just a normal afternoon nap. I fell asleep and ended up here."

"I see……"

"what happened?"

Ai Hoshino's lips curled up slightly as she said, "Your 'rebirth' this time has given me some very important inspiration, which is extremely valuable."

"Could it be for scientific research value?"

"of course."

"I've become a research subject?" "To be specific, not you, but us," Ai Hoshihara said, "including the other two women."

"That's perfect, we can get along harmoniously... Hiss—?!"

Ai Hoshino pinched the soft flesh on Ken Sakamoto's waist, making him shudder, before saying, "So you still insist on them dating?!"

Sakamoto Ken didn't answer, just quietly looked at Hoshihara Ai.

Their breaths mingled, and the atmosphere felt heated again.

He leaned in and bit the girl's lips.

Ai Hoshino turned her head away, preventing him from succeeding.

She glared at Sakamoto Ken and said, "Well, you think you can get killed by us this time?"

As she spoke, she flipped herself over onto the other side.

This time, Ken Sakamoto completely shut up.

I don't know exactly how much time passed there, but in the end I could only lie on the wooden chair, completely exhausted.

But she wasn't much better off; it seems she's also temporarily quieted down.

Sakamoto Ken still had a slight smile on his lips. Although he was exhausted, Hoshihara Ai's words just now made the problem very clear.

That is, she doesn't seem to care that much about certain things...

Ken Sakamoto asked in a low voice, "Tell me about your research. What exactly have you discovered?"

Ai Hoshihara said, "The rest are just speculations, but one thing should be certain: it seems that we can connect remotely... um... online in some way?"

"This is the kind of dream I'm having now."

"uh-huh."

So how do I connect online?

"It's quite complicated. It would be best if we met in person and then verified it using experimental equipment," said Ai Hoshihara.

"We still need to do experiments?"

"Come to my house before noon tomorrow. Don't tell me you don't know the address," Ai Hoshihara said, staring at Ken Sakamoto.

Ken Sakamoto hesitated.

Ai Hoshino pouted and said, "Don't worry, I won't bring up the past."

"Is this true?"

Would I lie?

“Tomorrow… that’s not impossible…” Sakamoto Ken said. “Can we talk about it briefly now?”

Ai Hoshino first asked a question in return: "Do you have a habit of taking a nap?"

“No,” Ken Sakamoto shook his head and said, “I just doze off occasionally.”

“Think back to how many times you’ve taken a nap recently,” Ai Hoshihara said.

When Ai Hoshihara said that, Ken Sakamoto could naturally have guessed it too.

The first time I saw Haruna was at the old apartment, during my afternoon nap.

The next two times were with Ai Hoshihara.

Ai Hoshihara continued, "I had this suspicion after we met last time, so I've been taking a nap every afternoon until today."

"Why during the afternoon nap?" Ken Sakamoto asked, puzzled.

"It's probably because... some scumbag guy died in the afternoon," Ai Hoshihara said.

Ken Sakamoto: "..."

The time when we were blocked on the rooftop was indeed after noon.

Finally, he lay on his back, looking at the sun in the sky, which seemed particularly dazzling, and then his consciousness quickly faded away...

After a long silence, Ken Sakamoto said, "Speaking of love, even if you're willing this time, it will be very difficult for them to agree."

"What do you mean?"

"It's the other two... the murderers. If I were to date both of you at the same time this time, even if you didn't use a knife, they would, right? Especially since they know each other, while you are a stranger to them."

Ai Hoshino stared at Ken Sakamoto, her eyes narrowed, and then grabbed him, making him shudder.

"I haven't even said I'd forgive you yet, and you're already thinking about becoming the male protagonist of a harem manga?!"
