Her lack of resistance gave Sasaki further ideas.
Turning his head to the side, he looked at her face, which was as white and soft as a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg. Apart from the light pink color like peach blossoms in March, there was no frown or disgust on her face.
Knowing that she could still tolerate a little bit of his excessive closeness, Sasaki walked slowly forward and began to quietly narrow the distance between them.
Sasaki stopped getting closer until he could clearly feel the softness on his arm even through the clothes.
Knowing that going any further might have a counterproductive effect, Sasaki did not take any further action until he was halfway through the corridor.
After she became familiar with the way they walked in such close proximity, Sasaki moved his fingers, gently and slowly passing through her fingers and intertwining their five fingers.
Feeling the warmth and wetness in the other's palm, and knowing that her heart was not as calm as she appeared, Sasaki knew that it was time to speak.
Otherwise, the beauty that has been brewing for a long time will turn into embarrassment because it expires.
"Miyajima-senpai~ I'm sorry."
A slightly hesitant but apologetic soft voice rang in Miyajima Sakura's ears, dispelling the shyness and helplessness she felt about holding hands with a boy for the first time.
Because her mother taught her not to show weakness, even though Miyajima Sakura was shy in her heart, she did not show any signs of panic or nervousness except for the delicate blush on her face.
With a calm expression, Miyajima Sakura looked at Sasaki who was full of apology. Not knowing why he was apologizing, she tilted her head in confusion:
"Sasaki-kun?"
"Because I had a lover before I met you."
"and……"
Glancing down at the two people's clasped hands, Sasaki's words were full of guilt and entanglement.
"I still like Miyajima-senpai so much... and now... I feel so sorry for you."
I know that the old man might have done something wrong to his family in the past, so he doesn't mind his granddaughter being a mistress.
But he was still surprised that Miyajima Sakura accepted it without hesitation.
Marrying a man whose family background is far inferior to your own, and becoming his mistress, is something that ordinary women simply cannot accept.
Even though the education she received since childhood might have made her more open-minded, the fact that she was so decisive made Sasaki feel that there were other reasons involved.
However, Sasaki was too lazy to delve too deeply into those old events.
Although he didn't know much, the fragmentary information was enough for Sasaki to understand that the reason for their guilt was about the marriage of the previous generation.
Rather than delving into something that happened more than ten years ago and putting the Miyajima family in an awkward position, it would be better to work harder to win over Miyajima Sakura's heart.
After all, she is the only daughter in their family. As long as the two of them are together sincerely, any embarrassment and guilt will disappear.
If you want two people to get along with each other sincerely, the first thing is to open your heart and resolve the dissatisfaction in your heart.
Although Miyajima Sakura is more open-minded about boys having three wives and four concubines because of her different upbringing.
But as a woman, it is impossible for her not to feel some resentment in her heart.
Therefore, the first thing Sasaki needs to do is to express his attitude.
It means that the reason why we are like this now is that we met too late, and I like you very much and don’t want to let go, but it feels unfair to you.
What stands out is the love of meeting someone too late and the guilt of being unable to part.
However, just saying this might make Miyajima Sakura, who has no emotional foundation with me, not know how to respond.
After all, you are just empty talk without even promising to be good to others. How can you expect others to say "it's okay" to you?
So after Sasaki finished speaking, he hurriedly said:
"It's selfish and shameless to say this, but if Sakura... wants to be with me, I will be nice to her, and I will try my best to convince her to accept her."
"If Sakura feels reluctant, we can pretend to be together for a while, and then I will go tell Grandpa Ichiro that our personalities are incompatible..."
Sasaki had no intention of letting Miyajima Sakura run away. After saying this with "apprehension", he waited for her reply "quite nervously".
Although she only has a good impression of Sasaki at the moment, upon closer inspection, there is a feeling that she is not even sure whether she likes him or not.
But because of her mother, she had no intention of refusing.
She felt the strength of the other person's hand, as he didn't want to let go and was holding it tightly, as well as the intimacy with which he had just called her name.
This was the first time a boy expressed his love and concern for Miyajima Sakura so openly, and she felt very sweet in her heart.
However, her reserved heart still disagreed with her answering decisively.
Although according to the marriage certificate that Miyajima Kiichiro did not produce, they were already an engaged couple.
But the time they had spent together was too short, and it was difficult for Miyajima Sakura, who had received a traditional education, to happily agree like a frivolous nympho.
So she just squeezed the large hand with five fingers intertwined with hers, and then covered her blushing face with one hand, and whispered with a wandering look in her eyes:
"Okay, can we spend some time together first?"
"Okay~"
Knowing that this was just a compromise she made out of shyness and reserve, Sasaki did not show any disappointment, but instead breathed a sigh of relief:
"As long as Xiaoying is willing to stay with me, that's fine."
I can see that he really wants to be with me.
Miyajima Sakura, who was liked by a boy for the first time, met his eyes as bright and fiery as flames, and stretched out her hand to smooth the ponytail that fell to her left shoulder a little unnaturally:
"I have this... this is the first time we've met."
"Yeah, that's right. I fell in love with Sakura even though it was our first meeting. Maybe it's because Sakura is so pretty? Or maybe it's because Sakura is different from other girls in terms of coolness? I don't know, maybe it's all of that, but it's true that I like Sakura. After all... once things are settled, we're going to be husband and wife."
"So, Sakura, whether you think I fell in love at first sight or just because I was attracted by your beauty, the fact that I like you will never change."
Looking at her evasive eyes, knowing that this was an easy question, Sasaki sincerely expressed his love for her.
Although it sounds a bit fancy, the real core is nothing more than: I am greedy for your body, I am honest, and I deserve praise.
And Miyajima Sakura did not show any disappointment or disgust because of his vulgar and shallow liking.
It’s not that she thinks Sasaki is good-looking, so everything she says sounds nice and makes sense.
Instead, she felt that Sasaki's answer was normal and reasonable.
This was the first time the two met, and the total time they had known each other was less than two hours.
If Sasaki said he liked her inner self and her personality based on just this short period of time, she would feel it was fake.
Some people can't recognize a person even after spending several years together. How can he say that he likes her inner character when he just spent less than two hours together and didn't even say much?
So, if what Sasaki said just now meant that he liked her personality and character, Miyajima Sakura would feel uncomfortable.
People who practice martial arts are usually straightforward and treat others with sincerity. They don't like so many twists and turns.
Although Miyajima Sakura's personality is not cheerful, she also doesn't like people who lie.
If he couldn't be sincere to her when they first got along, how could Miyajima Sakura have confidence in their future relationship?
Although the truth he told might sound vulgar to other girls, it was better than those who praised themselves to the skies and deceived themselves.
Sasaki's words were actually quite to her liking.
In response to his expression of joy for her, Miyajima Sakura, who was not good at speaking, expressed her attitude through actions.
Because the two of them were already in a posture with their arms crossed and fingers intertwined, when Miyajima Sakura leaned over and pressed against Sasaki's arm, it was like stuffing his arm into her arms.
Feeling the soft white kendo robe made of multiple layers of cotton cloth on his arm, Sasaki turned his head to look at Miyajima Sakura who began to actively approach him, and said softly:
"Sakura~"
Looking at her brows, which were much sharper than those of the gentle and soft Miyajima Tsubaki.
Sasaki felt that her sudden act of being like a little bird was particularly adorable, and although he really wanted to bend down and kiss her, after all, they had been together for too short a time. No matter how well he performed, the strangeness between them caused by their unfamiliarity would not be so easy to eliminate.
So I can only keep this idea in my heart for the time being.
But there is no way...
Facing her shy gaze, Sasaki looked away, listened to the shouts coming from the training ground not far away, and said softly:
"Sakura really likes kendo, right?"
"Yes, that's right. My mother and grandfather taught me swordplay when I was little."
Because her public identity is that she is the only daughter of the dojo, and she is also the winner of various youth competitions.
So Miyajima Sakura was not surprised by what he said.
If she didn't like kendo, as the one and only jewel of the Miyajima family, her mother and grandfather would not force her too much.
She will only be taught some basic kendo skills to continue the legacy of Miyajima Dojo.
As for various awards, I definitely won’t be able to win them.
"So that means Sakura is very strong?"
"Okay."
He did not brag about how many competitions he had participated in or how many awards he had won.
Miyajima Sakura, who doesn't like to use external things to show off herself, just responded with a gentle smile.
Hearing the strong confidence behind Miyajima Sakura's calm words, Sasaki smiled strangely and suggested to her:
"So Sakura, do you want to spar with me?"
The body pressed against Sasaki's arms straightened up slightly.
Miyajima Sakura, who is obsessed with kendo and enjoys fighting, learned about Sasaki's situation from her mother.
Although he does not know traditional swordsmanship, he has the legendary sword technique "Yan Fan"
And she defeated her mother, who had always been her target.
Before she knew about her mother's condition, she really wanted to fight with Sasaki.
However, because she had the reason to become his wife, and in order not to destroy his feelings towards her, Miyajima Sakura suppressed the idea of sparring with him.
Now that he brought it up on his own initiative, Miyajima Sakura would certainly not refuse.
"If Sasaki-kun wants to, it would be my honor!"
"It's not nice to call your fiancé that."
Without continuing to talk about the sparring, Sasaki didn't like her calling him that, so he lowered his head and gently bumped her forehead, hinting at her with a hint of dissatisfaction.
After pursing her paper-thin lips, Miyajima Sakura's cheeks turned slightly red. She met his expectant gaze and replied softly:
"See you in winter~"
"Although it's a little different from what I expected to hear from my husband, dear, it's still okay."
Winking at her, Sasaki continued the topic they were discussing just now.
"Of course we can spar with each other. After all, we have nothing else to do right now. But sparring alone is boring. Why don't we bet on something?"
"bet?"
Having only learned the word but never performed any related actions, Miyajima Sakura tilted her head in confusion when faced with Sasaki's suggestion.
Chapter 91: Kill~Dodge!
"Yeah, just a little bet or something."
Miyajima Sakura is not a fool. She can naturally tell from Sasaki's smile and words that he has bad intentions.
But the two are engaged, and she has a good impression of Sasaki.
So even though she knew that he wanted to take advantage of her, Miyajima Sakura had no intention of refusing.
Besides, if he wants to take advantage of me, he has to beat me first.
I have participated in so many competitions and practiced sword for so many years, but it doesn't mean that I can be defeated just by knowing one legendary sword skill.
The confidence accumulated over the years made Miyajima Sakura extremely eager to fight, so she decisively accepted Sasaki's request for a bet.
"Okay, what do you want to bet on, Fuyumi?"
Hearing Miyajima Sakura's powerful response, Sasaki's already smiling mouth now looked as if a soy sauce bottle could be hung on it.
Although he was good-looking, his smirk made it clear that he had evil intentions.
But the confidence he revealed despite his evil intentions further stimulated Miyajima Sakura's desire to win.
