My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

However, as if he had understood something, Shiba Miyako began to look at Kouta with a half-smile, as if he were looking at a clown. He felt very pleased: Kid, the goddess in your eyes is just a bitch in my bed, no, not even as good as a bitch, hahaha... hahaha!

For a moment, he felt that the more heroic Kouta appeared, the more pitiful he looked at Kouta.

"Kid, do you think you're playing the hero, saving a damsel in distress and winning her heart?" Chai Gongyang chuckled a few times, paused, and continued, "How about this, let this woman decide for herself and see who she chooses."

Kouta narrowed his eyes slightly. In front of so many people, he couldn't resort to violence, so he agreed to Shibamiya Yosei's suggestion.

He turned to look at Maeda Chie, his eyes seemingly certain that she would leave with him.

however,

To his surprise.

Chie Maeda's face was pale, her eyes revealing helplessness, struggle, obsession, and sadness... After a long while, she looked at Kouta with heartbreak, and was about to walk past Kouta into Yosuke Shibamiya's sports car.

"Senior! You—" Kouta was a little confused and called out in a low voice.

As Maeda Chie passed by Kouta, she whispered, "Kouta, I'm fine. This is... my boyfriend. Could you ask the manager for leave for me?"

Her tone was deliberately calm, but it betrayed her unspeakable distress and reluctance.

“…Alright.” Kouta wanted to say a few more words of advice, but in the end he said nothing. After all, he and Maeda Chie were just friends, and he had no right to interfere in other people’s private affairs.

However, when Kouta said those words, for some reason, he suddenly felt a vague sense of loss.

As Maeda Chie entered the sports car, Shibamiya Yosuke, as if showing off, spun the car around while starting it, spraying a wisp of exhaust fumes at Kouta before speeding away.

Kouta watched the sports car disappear, and only after a long while did he look away, lost in thought.

……

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

It's the weekend.

Kouta saw Maeda Chie again the next day.

He subtly inquired about what happened to Maeda Chie yesterday.

However, Maeda Chie just looked embarrassed and stammered without saying anything.

However, Kouta carefully observed Maeda Chie's behavior and noticed many inconsistencies. He knew that these were signs of injury. In addition, he inadvertently saw the bruises on Maeda Chie's wrists, which further confirmed that Maeda-senpai had been abused.

However, since Maeda Chie herself didn't say anything, it was even more inappropriate for him, an outsider, to interfere.

In the days that followed.

Kouta's life seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.

He went to work at the store every day as usual, but the difference was that he had someone accompanying him on his way there every day—Chie Maeda.

Time flies and it's the weekend.

Early this morning.

Upon hearing the alarm clock, Hui miraculously didn't stay in bed and got up immediately.

Hui stretched, straightened her crooked cotton nightgown, smoothed her messy hair from sleeping, and then rolled off the bed without putting on shoes. Her delicate little feet stepped directly onto the fluffy carpet in the room, feeling a soft and comfortable sensation on her soles.

"Hoo-ha!" Hui yawned.

Getting up so early on the weekend was a little unusual for Hui.

However, today is the date I arranged with Kouta.

A woman dresses up for the man she loves!

Hui naturally wanted to show her beautiful side to Kouta, so getting up early to dress up and put on nice makeup was essential.

Thinking of clothes, Hui opened the wardrobe and took out a set of clothes. The set of clothes was exactly the same as the one that Maeda Chie had lent her. Hui bought it online.

This is a JK-style uniform. The top is a white short-sleeved shirt with a blue bow tied at the chest, and the bottom is a mesh high-waisted pleated skirt. The hem of the skirt only reaches the middle of Hui's thighs, fully displaying Hui's pair of slender, white, and beautiful legs.

After getting dressed, Hui looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was snow-white, her appearance was stunning, and she exuded the lively energy of a teenage girl, but even more so, she possessed an ethereal, fairy-like quality.

"Yeah, it's beautiful no matter how many times I look at it. Humph! That Kouta got off easy."

However, Hui noticed her own ethereal, otherworldly aura reflected in the mirror, which surprised her somewhat.

"How come I, who always kills without blinking an eye, look a little too innocent? Isn't it said that appearance reflects the heart?"

Hui gazed at herself in the mirror. She looked incredibly slim in the outfit, with a slender figure and delicate body, like a finely crafted porcelain doll that seemed fragile enough to break at the slightest touch. Especially when she was silent and still, simply standing there quietly, she appeared exceptionally pure.

"Good morning, Kei." My wife Misa looked at Kei coming downstairs and asked with some surprise, "Why are you up so early today?"

"I made plans to go out with my friends today," Hui replied.

"Oh, it's a date with Kouta."

Hui blushed and protested, "Oh my god, it wasn't a date, it was just hanging out with friends! Friends!"

"Yes, yes! Ogasang understands. Hui went out with her friends."

“Ogasang, you didn’t believe it at all.”

The morning news was playing on the TV on the first floor.

Today's topic...

At 03:35 AM last night, the 119 command center of our city's fire and rescue brigade received a report of a fire at the home of Tatekiyo, a resident of Ogawa-cho, Minuma Ward, accompanied by thick smoke. A mother and a bedridden teenager were also in the house at the time. The fire blocked the door, preventing them from escaping, and both tragically perished. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but preliminary investigations suggest it was due to aging electrical wiring in the home…

"Is it okay to have bread this morning?" Misa asked.

"Bread is fine too."

Do you want milk and sugar in your coffee?

"do not add."

……

When Hui went out, Kōta had been waiting for a long time.

"How is it? This is my new outfit, isn't it nice?" Hui San walked up to Kouta in a few steps, turned around in front of him, and showed off her new outfit.

"It looks beautiful," Kouta praised sincerely.

Although he felt that Hui's clothes looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before, he couldn't remember where.

Hearing Kengta's praise, Hui felt overjoyed and thought the outfit was a worthwhile purchase.

"Hui, let's go." Kouta said, reaching out to take Hui's soft hand.

The two walked aimlessly down the road.

"Kouta, what gift did you buy for me?" Hui asked curiously.

"Don't worry, silly girl, you'll get your share of gifts." Kouta said, pinching Hui's delicate little nose.

"Hui, is there anywhere you want to go? Today is your birthday, so you can decide for yourself."

"Anywhere I want to go!" Hui thought for a moment, "I'm fine anywhere as long as I'm with Kouta."

After Hui finished speaking, her beautiful eyes sparkled like a startled fawn. She secretly glanced at Kouta before immediately looking away.

Kōta was pleased with Hui's words and tightened his grip on Hui's hand.

He felt that at this moment, he had grasped the greatest fortune of his life!

"How about we go check out that newly opened botanical garden?" Kouta suggested.

"Okay, whatever you say."

……

Although Aomori City is not a major international metropolis, it is still a modern city with a considerable area.

Although Hui has been in Aomori City for several months, she has actually been to less than one-tenth of the city. There are many places that Hui has never been to or even heard of, making her incomparable to a native like Kouta.

Kouta had planned today's date long ago. In order to give Hui a different feeling, besides the usual movie theaters, amusement parks, shopping malls, etc., Kouta racked his brains to come up with something new. However, with Kouta's low emotional intelligence, how could he come up with any romantic date ideas!

Then,

Kouta's idea for a date was to take Kei around the whole city.

Hui, on the other hand, only dates Kouta and has no dating experience whatsoever. She thinks that dating is just like this, and foolishly lets Kouta hold her fair and delicate hand as they walk around the city.

In the evening, Kouta and Kei were at a coffee shop.

This is the observation deck of a skyscraper in the city center. From here, you can see the entire city of Aomori. The view is very expansive, and you can easily see the densely packed urban landscape of Aomori. In the distance, you can see the coastline where the sea meets the sky. Standing here gives you a magnificent feeling of overlooking the world.

Today is neither a peak tourist season nor a special holiday, so there aren't many tourists in the skyscraper.

At this moment, Kouta took Kei to the café in the observation deck for a short rest.

The coffee shop here costs five times more than outside.

Kouta even booked a private room, which cost even more, but it was Hui's birthday today, so Kouta really went all out.

The two sat in the private room drinking coffee. When Kouta saw that it was almost time, he took out a delicate little gift box and placed it in front of Hui.

"What is this?" Hui asked in confusion, but the joy in her voice was palpable.

"Hui, open it and see if you like it," Kōta said.

"kindness."

Hui took the small gift box and unpacked it piece by piece. Finally, she opened a red box inside, which contained a gleaming gold collarbone necklace.

With a fluttering heart, Hui took the necklace out of the box. The necklace had a twisted chain, which was suitable for girls with delicate collarbones and could perfectly highlight the sexy beauty of a girl's collarbones.

The pendant on the necklace is shaped like the symbol "∞". In the context of the necklace, this symbol specifically refers to eternity, and it is an enduring symbol of a love destined across three lifetimes.

The entire necklace is made of gold, and for Kouta, who only earns money from part-time jobs after school, accumulating this amount of money is no easy feat.

The physical value of this necklace is insignificant to Hui. Whether it is gold or diamonds, Hui doesn't care. What matters most to Hui is its symbolic meaning. This necklace was a gift from Geng Tai, and that alone determines its place in Hui's heart.

Hui felt as if her heart was filled with honey, overflowing with sweetness. Her eyes were full of spring, and she looked at Kōta with tender affection: "Please put this on for me!"

Necklaces evolved from the chains worn by slaves in ancient times. When a girl allows a boy to put a necklace on her, it's as if she's convinced that he owns her.

“Okay.” Kōta didn’t understand what Hui was thinking.
