Chapter 38 Almost Reincarnated into Another World
Chapter 38 Almost Reincarnated into Another World
"Yes, I believe in Miyazawa-kun."
Naomi felt the other person's body temperature and breath, and immediately became shy.
Ah, Miyazawa-kun, he actually hugged me.
This is the first time in my life I've ever been hugged by a boy.
It's so warm, and it smells so nice.
What should I do? Should I hug him back? Or should I bury my head in Miyazawa-kun's arms?
No, Miyazawa-kun is a fake boyfriend, so what I'm doing would be considered harassment.
Before Naomi's brain completely failed, Miyazawa Itsuki let go of her.
The other person had a look of regret and reminiscence on their face.
He naturally took Naomi's small hand in his, her skin smooth and delicate, cool to the touch.
Looking at the stunned Nakano Chinatsu and Sato He beside him, Miyazawa Itsuki revealed a gentle smile.
"Hello everyone, you must be Naomi's friends, right? I'm Naomi's boyfriend, Teru Miyazawa. It's nice to meet you all."
"..."
"Y-you... hello! I'm Naomi's friend, Chinatsu Nakano!"
Chinatsu Nakano was the first to come to her senses, her voice rising eight octaves.
What is this? It's too handsome!
Naomi, where did you find such a handsome boy?!
There are many handsome men in Tokyo, but I've never heard of anyone as handsome as Chinatsu Nakano.
Well, upon closer reflection, it seems that only a beautiful girl like Naomi is qualified to date such a handsome guy.
I'm so envious...
Sato He's expression was contorted.
Then came a scene of utter desolation.
"...Hello, I'm Sato He, a friend of Asahi-kun."
His tone rarely showed a hint of insecurity.
From a young age, Sato He was proud of his outstanding qualities.
His parents are small business owners and his family is well-off. He is also tall, handsome, and athletic.
He's practically the perfect male god, the kind of protagonist you'd find in a shoujo manga.
Only someone like myself deserves to stand next to a beautiful girl like Asahi.
Today, he actually encountered someone who completely overwhelmed him in appearance, and he couldn't even muster the slightest desire to fight back.
That's totally unfair! The genes are so biased.
Sato He roared inwardly.
Then, another handsome man stepped forward. He gave a calm smile and extended his hand:
"Hello, I'm Ryosuke Takeda, and also a friend of Asahi-kun," he said. "This is my girlfriend, Moeka."
Standing beside him was a petite girl wearing round-framed glasses and with two braids.
"Hello, I'm Haruno Moka." Moka gave a polite smile and nodded to Miyazawa Itsuki.
In this regard, Miyazawa Itsuki and Naomi's inner circle had all spoken to each other.
Miyazawa Itsuki took out a gift box and handed it to the silent Sato He.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation. Thank you for taking care of my Naomi for so long. I hope we can continue to get along well in the future."
The names written in carbon pen at the end of the greeting card are [Asahi Naomi & Miyazawa Teru].
It was a birthday gift given as a gift between lovers. It even prioritized Naomi's name.
Satohe felt that the greeting card subtly carried a sense of asserting sovereignty. Was it just his imagination? How did he know?
"Can I... take a look inside?"
"Of course, please go ahead."
Sato He opened the gift box, revealing the contents inside.
It is a pair of sports wristbands and a high-end sports towel.
These are all carefully selected styles. It's a brand focused on basketball.
"...Thank you, that's very thoughtful."
Sato He paused for a moment, then accepted the gift.
I had wanted to buy these wristbands for a long time, but I never expected that I would end up getting them from Asahi's boyfriend.
How should I put it? My feelings are very complicated.
"..."
—Asahi's boyfriend is not just a pretty face.
This was the thought that flashed through everyone's mind.
Naomi Asahina's eyes widened.
"Miyazawa-kun...?"
Why did I suddenly think of giving a gift? This wasn't mentioned beforehand. The plan wasn't for me to give a gift. Was Miyazawa just here to hang out as my boyfriend?
But wow, that's amazing! I only mentioned that Sato likes sports, but Miyazawa-kun knew to give such a suitable gift.
Moreover, the price seems quite high, so I have to reimburse Miyazawa-kun after the event.
Haruno Moeka suddenly spoke:
"Does Nana still call her boyfriend by his last name?"
Naomi Asahina's face stiffened.
Oh no, I've gotten into the habit of calling Miyazawa-kun that.
If you're a couple, even if you don't use nicknames, you should at least use their names to show intimacy.
Why can't I say "Ki-kun" to Miyazawa-kun when I'm alone with my friends?
Miyazawa Itsuki smiled without changing his expression and said:
"Because I haven't known Naomi for very long, she's more used to calling me by that name. Of course, I'll try my best to get Naomi to call me by my name."
Naomi was taken aback, then a look of gratitude appeared on her face.
"...Ki-kun!"
She grabbed the other person's arm tightly.
said it.
It turns out it's such a simple thing.
But I'm so happy.
Miyazawa Itsuki calmly held his girlfriend's hand, his expression unchanged.
"Please come in, welcome to visit," Satoga said with difficulty, maintaining his last shred of dignity.
Some things are simply not something you can obtain.
Miyazawa Itsuki entered the private room and sat down on the sofa.
Naomi clung tightly to her boyfriend's arm, and naturally, she stopped singing.
Chinatsu Nakano and Moka, along with a few others, sat around the couple with great interest.
Sato He was left all alone, holding the microphone, and lost all interest in singing, so he changed the song.
He switched to a sad love song and started belting out a heartfelt song.
"Hey, you're called Miyazawa Teru, right?"
Chinatsu Nakano mustered her courage and spoke.
"That's right, Ms. Nakano, you can just call me Miyazawa."
"Okay, Miyazawa, I heard you're a top student at Waseda University, your grades must be excellent."
Miyazawa Itsuki maintained his smile, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Naomi, who was awkwardly forcing a smile.
"It's alright."
"Then I'll have to ask you to help me with my homework from now on!"
Chinatsu Nakano tearfully pleaded, "Because my grades have always been poor, I'm often scolded by my family. I've always wished I had a friend who was good at studying and knew how to teach others. Today, I finally met Miyazawa."
"Isn't Moka's academic performance good? And wouldn't she be happy to teach Nakano?" Takeda Ryosuke said calmly.
"But Moka's teaching methods just don't work! That's practically Spartan education!"
"How about it, Miyazawa, teach me? I'll trade Nana's little secret for it."
"Chinatsu-chan!!"
"If I had the chance, I would love to."
Miyazawa gave an ambiguous reply.
"Nana said you'd arrive at the banquet, Miyazawa, so why are you so late? Nana was worried about you too."
Haruno Moka asked.
Miyazawa Itsuki remained silent for a moment.
This is indeed a question that must be answered; there's no way to bluff about it.
He thought for a moment and briefly explained why he was late:
"Actually, it's because there was a little accident on the way..."
Unexpected events can happen at any time.
On his way back to his apartment after leaving Akane Aoike's residence.
It was damaged by a car.
If it weren't for my enhanced reaction and coordination skills from street fighting, I probably wouldn't have sustained minor injuries, but would have been hospitalized.
Unfortunately, his work phone also broke down, making it impossible for him to reply to Naomi's messages.
After hastily discussing the solution with the client, Miyazawa Itsuki limped back to his apartment.
He hurriedly changed into his outdoor clothes, bandaged his wound, stuffed his wallet, phone, and other belongings from his uniform into his pocket, and rushed to the birthday party.
