Cherreads

Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Kittens and Bonds

Eating the dessert dry didn't seem to fully satisfy Mrs. Katsura, so she retrieved the soft cheese she had been saving, gently coated the dessert with two layers of cream, and continued to enjoy it elegantly and calmly.

 

No, madam, are you really this skilled?

 

Her little mouth hung slightly open as she watched the passing cars, a subtle furrow appearing and disappearing between her eyebrows.

 

Trying his best to act nonchalant, he frequently betrayed himself as a self-deceiver. The more he tried to hide his feelings, the deeper the guilt became. He endured the insincere interactions and decided to simply be sad.

 

When life is good, enjoy it to the fullest, don't leave your golden cup facing the moon empty.

 

I was born to be useful, and even if I lose all my energy, it will return.

 

The eager kitten with delectable lips and tongue greedily lapped up the long-missed milk, but accidentally smeared its delicate little face. The pure white liquid slowly slid down, catching the light and creating a halo of innocence, as if an angel had shed tears.

 

...

 

Manami Katsura wore a happy smile. She was pleased that her family finally had a man who truly belonged with them, and she was delighted by the intense and enduring passion.

 

She even took out her phone and snapped a selfie with a V-sign, then added Ryo Asakura's LINE and sent it to the chat.

 

"This is a right that belongs exclusively to the head of the family, Asakura-kun. Please, please don't abandon us, mother and daughter."

 

Her pretty face, now wiped clean, displayed an extremely relaxed smile, as if she had found a pillar to lean on. Her resolute expression made him give up any lingering resistance.

 

Holding hands tightly, their hearts connected. After a tiring day, Mrs. Katsura deserved massage and care.

 

Ryo Asakura's broad chest became her sky. In this world that belonged only to the two of them, the woman ascended to a state of bliss, making tonight a final perfection.

 

The tears and sweat of joy were the best answer to the Katsura family's unspoken desires tonight.

 

After cleaning up and leaving Katsura's house, Ryo Asakura kept thinking about the day's events on his way home. Life was becoming increasingly complex. After pondering deeply, he found no easy solution, so he decided to let things take their course.

 

There's nothing wrong with that anyway, right?

 

All life is reasonable. Ryo Asakura fell asleep with a relieved mood, ending an ordinary day.

 

...

 

He didn't know if it would be a good or bad day. It always started with signing in. Ryo Asakura was beginning to believe that strange things would always happen. He calmly pressed the button, ready to face today's challenge.

The boy's face darkened. He really didn't want to be a sewer repairman or a gardener.

 

Asshole, give me some real abilities!

 

Arriving at school with a heavy heart, he found people around him staring eagerly and discussing.

 

"Hey, that's Asakura-san who showed off his prowess yesterday, right?"

 

"Hey, this is just a trivial incident in Brother Asakura's experience."

 

The onlookers in the group exclaimed upon hearing this. Ryo Asakura's headache grew listening to the increasingly exaggerated boasting. During the break, many bold girls approached, wanting his LINE contact.

 

However, they were stopped by Akane Nanao, who protectively stood her ground, indicating that this person was already taken. Kotonoha Katsura also bravely stood by his side, offering her support. Ryo Asakura's youth life was once again filled with noise.

 

The boring class ended quickly. The girls around him stared eagerly, making Akane Nanao anxious. She grabbed Ryo Asakura's wrist and hurried to the rooftop to enjoy some alone time.

 

"Asakura-kun has become very popular now, I'm really worried you'll forget about me all of a sudden."

 

Her nimble fingers drew circles on the boy's chest, her arms hugged his body tightly, and her red lips demanded an endless supply of "edible water" from his mouth. The girl confided all her worries to him one by one, only in this way could she feel at ease.

 

"Remember when we first met? From that moment on, neither time nor distance could separate us."

 

Ryo Asakura smiled faintly. Although he wasn't one for sweet words, he chose to prove his feelings with actions. His loving comfort made Akane Nanao feel warmth close to her heart.

 

The waves crashed against the rocks, each one higher and stronger than the last.

 

White and crimson hues complemented each other, a gentle humming voice revealed incomparable satisfaction, and the "massage class" between the young boy and girl on the rooftop lasted for a long time, filled with profound meaning.

 

...

 

In the afternoon, a disciplinary notice was posted on the bulletin board in the corridors of each grade, clearly stating the notification about yesterday's incident and the final outcome.

 

Word spread like wildfire. In less than an afternoon, Ito Makoto's evil deeds became known to everyone, and the students in Class A of the second year all avoided him with contempt and disgust.

 

Malice is the desire to harm others for no reason and to gain pleasure from comparison.

 

Makoto Ito struggled to maintain his campus life surrounded by heavy malice. To better protect himself and escape the pain, he chose to be withdrawn and weak, quietly accepting the torment fate dealt him.

 

Sekai Saionji was a classmate of Makoto Ito. Most of the time, she took the same train to school as Makoto Ito, but because they traveled in opposite directions, Makoto Ito never noticed her.

 

She had a lively personality and got along well with those around her. With medium-length brown hair, a cute appearance, and a still-developing figure, she was a popular and pretty girl.

 

Because her friend Kiyoura Setsuna had been helped by Ito Makoto in their first year of high school, she began to investigate whether Ito Makoto liked Setsuna, developing a vague affection for him during her investigation.

 

So, as soon as she heard about the incident, Saionji Sekai hurried to Ito Makoto and asked carefully.

 

"Hey, Makoto-kun, are the things in the notice true?"

 

"Ah, Saionji-san, are you here to laugh at me too? Yes, I did everything, are you satisfied?"

 

Makoto Ito was lashing out in self-destruction, and his crazed look scared the girl who wanted to comfort him.

 

"Makoto-kun...if you can reform yourself, the future will be better. I will always believe in you."

 

"I have no future anymore. Ryo Asakura told me he wouldn't let me go from now on. Who can come to save me?"

 

Ito smiled grimly, thinking of his mother Ito Moeko's accusations and cries. He seemed to have accepted his fate and lost all his courage. He just wanted to spend the rest of his high school life quietly and not cause any more trouble.

 

Sekai Saionji couldn't bear to see him in such dejection and pain, so she pretended to be strong and took on the responsibility.

 

"I will ask Asakura-san for forgiveness on behalf of Makoto-kun, so please cheer up."

 

The girl turned and left with distress and sorrow, her thoughts confused about Setsuna, herself, and Ito Makoto's future. This incident left an indelible stain on each of their memories.

 

...

 

After their "massage relaxation," Ryo Asakura and Akane Nanao returned to the classroom and joined Kotonoha Katsura for a chat. Laughter and joy embellished the beauty of life.

 

At this time, Ryo Asakura didn't notice the ability mark symbolizing the [Yellow-haired Soul] flickering, as if summoning something.
