Chapter 751: Bonfire Legend
The thought of killing naturally appeared in his mind, but he felt it was too easy to let go of Mitaka. He felt Mitaka should feel more pain, so much so that he wished to die.
To be honest, when he saw what Mitaka was about to do to Misaki, he wanted to blast this guy's head into mincemeat, but he quickly endured it since the place wasn't right, and he didn't want to make Misaki have a trauma.
Instead, he should commit a well-planned crime scheme by erasing Mitaka and his family, such as putting their bodies into a barrel filled with cement before he kicked him to Tokyo Bay.
Whether it was sooner or later, Mitaka's future was already gone after what he had done.
However, before all of that, he had to calm Misaki, who had been crying in his arms.
"It's alright. It's alright. I am here."
While he calmed her down, he also called his subordinates to pick up Mitaka. Turning Mitaka into a fish pellet on Tokyo Bay might be good, but he felt it was too easy for Mitaka, so he was going to mess up Mitaka's life.
---
"I am here, okay?"
After that incident, he brought Misaki to the spot where he usually stayed before his club. To be honest, he also didn't expect this incident to occur since he had always thought of Mitaka as a rational person, yet love was like this. It turned people irrational and messed up their minds with emotion.
Everything was in the name of love.
No matter how cruel and disgusting one had done, as long as love was involved, it would turn into a sacred.
For such a self-righteous or delusional person, he hoped they could wake up since it would bring trouble to their future. More importantly, if they messed up with the wrong person, they might turn into a fish pellet in Tokyo Bay.
To be honest, he didn't have a right to say such a thing, especially when he often used love as an excuse to make a harem, but one thing was for sure, he wouldn't use force to force girls to have sex with him. It was a brute method, and it was stupid. More importantly, it wasn't fun. Instead of using such a method, it was better to let them voluntarily sleep with him without him forcing them.
As his voice soothed her and his warmth calmed her down, Misaki started to relax, but even so, her body was still trembling. The thought of the previous incident shocked her since she didn't expect something like that to occur. While Shishio had stopped it before what had happened, she also felt quite dirty, especially when she was touched by Mitaka.
"Shishio..."
"Hmm?"
"Do... Do you think I am dirty?"
"Why do you ask so?"
"Because... because you knew what Mitaka almost did to me, right?" Her eyes were in tears as she stared into him.
"You don't need to worry. I don't think so." He gently caressed her hair and said, "More importantly, he hadn't done anything to you." He then took his handkerchief and wiped her tears and snot since they made her a bit ugly.
"But what if he did something to me? Will you think of me as dirty?"
"No."
"Why?" She just couldn't understand why he could say something with so much conviction and without a shred of hesitation.
"Because you won't feel anything."
"I... I won't feel anything?" This answer dumbfounded her. "What do you mean?"
"Do you think with Mitaka's size, he can satisfy you? Even if he puts his thing on you, you won't feel anything."
"....."
Misaki didn't know what to say at that moment, but when she thought about the sex she had with Shishio, she somehow believed in his words.
The sex which his women had with him was already an unforgettable experience.
If they somehow broke up in the future and they found a new partner, Shishio believed that they wouldn't be satisfied. Instead, they would only lie on the bed with a dumbfounded expression and a daze.
Then, when their partner asked nervously, "Does... Does it feel good?"
Their expressions would turn awkward before they would act like they felt good. "Ah, um, it feels good." Leaving their partner ignorant, without knowing that it didn't feel good.
Their bodies just couldn't live without him anymore, so even if in the future their hearts might belong to someone, their bodies belonged to him.
However, such a thing probably wouldn't happen since someone who dared to touch his woman would mean it would be an instant ticket to becoming a potato farmer, miner, or crab fisherman.
Either way, even if they didn't die right away, it didn't change that their future was already bleak.
"Lastly, do you think that I will just leave you because of that?" Shishio stared into Misaki's eyes and said with conviction, "Misaki, you're my woman. You're my responsibility. If you are hurt, it is because I can't protect you. There's no way that I will blame you and throw you aside just because of my incompetency."
"You're not incompetent! It-It's my fault that I came here... If... If I didn't come here, then it wouldn't happen..."
There was no way for him to be incompetent, and it was her fault that she didn't think about what would happen to Mitaka.
"It's okay. Neither of us is at fault. If there is someone at fault, then it is Mitaka."
The fault wasn't on them but on Mitaka.
He didn't want her to fall into self-blame because of this matter.
Misaki looked at him for a moment before she hugged him tightly.
He also didn't say anything and just hugged her.
"So... what will happen to Mitaka?"
Misaki was no longer calling Mitaka by his first name since, with what happened previously, their relationship had already been flushed into the toilet. However, she was still scared of Mitaka since Mitaka was her neighbor and he was still in the same school.
What if he attacked her again?
However, she knew that as long as Shishio was around, everything was alright.
"It's okay. You don't need to worry. I have prepared his transfer right away."
"Transfer?" Misaki was surprised. "Really?"
"Yeah." Shishio nodded with a cold expression. "Did you think that he could get away with what he has done? He has touched my woman, and of course, he will receive a punishment."
She blushed when he heard his domineering words, telling her she was his. Those words were selfish since she wasn't an item, but she just loved it. Yet, she was surprised by his power.
"Is that possible?"
"Yes." Shishio nodded. "Even now, his parents are also moving, so you don't need to worry that you will meet him when you go home."
"..."
She was dumbfounded.
This was the power of the rich.
To be honest, it felt so great to have such a man since she could rely on him and be protected by him.
However, what he didn't tell her, he was also going to cut down Mitaka's weewee, so this guy couldn't do any harmful acts while also throwing him into the Bering Sea to fish a crab. To be honest, he wanted to send Mitaka to the Indian Ocean to fish for squid, but he didn't have a connection in that area, so he could only bear it with a crab.
"Shishio..."
"Hmm?"
"Can we go back?"
Knowing everything was alright, Misaki sighed in relief, but she still wanted to go back since she didn't want to stay at school. She thought that the memory of her last cultural festival would be amazing, yet it was so horrible. She just wanted to go back and spend time with him, having sex with him, so she could forget everything.
Yet, his answer made her dumbfounded.
"No."
"No?" She was confused. "Why?"
"There is a bonfire dance. Let's have a dance together."
He knew that Hikigaya should have informed everyone, so he didn't need to worry about the rest of his women about what he was going to do since it was impossible for him to go back while letting her have such a horrible memory during her last cultural festival.
"Why?"
As she was being carried by him, she looked at him with an inexplicable gaze. She just wanted to go back and didn't want to stay any longer, but why wouldn't he let her go?
He didn't answer her and just walked toward the place where everyone gathered.
As he calmed her down, the time had passed quite a while, and the sky had already turned dark, but from a distance, they could see a warm and bright light illuminating the night.
It was a bonfire.
At the end of the cultural festival, the bonfire dance started, and everyone began dancing with their partner.
Misaki was in a daze, watching all of this since everything was completely different from what had happened to her.
"Senpai, I will let you down now."
"...um."
While a bit nervous, she let him put her down, but she still held him tightly.
"How about we have a dance?"
"...really?"
"Yes." Shishio nodded. "This is your last cultural festival, and there is no way that I will let you go home with this horrible memory. This is your last, and I hope your memory will be radiant. Something that we can look back at with a smile when we grow old." He held her hand and asked once again, "Will you dance with me, Senpai?"
As she gazed into him, she felt that everything was blurred. Only his figure was clear and bright in her eyes. It was like a dream. A dream that she didn't want to wake up.
She didn't give an answer, but she let him pull her into the dance area.
They held their hands together as they started to walk together around the bonfire.
Just before, it was like a nightmare, but now, she had forgotten about everything.
All she was thinking now was that she was so happy and she didn't want to be parted from him.
Him.
It was the greatest thing that God had given to her.
She didn't know how to dance, but under his lead, she felt her feet move smoothly and beautifully. Her eyes kept staring at him, watching him, with a gaze full of love.
"Shishio."
"Hmm?"
"Do you know the legend?"
"What legend?"
"The bonfire legend."
"I don't know," he answered with an ignorant expression.
"Geez... it can't be helped. I will tell you." Misaki showed off her usual bubbly demeanor as she tried to educate him strictly. "It was said that the couple who danced during the bonfire event would be together forever. This is why every couple in this school has always danced during this moment."
"You believe that?"
"No."
She didn't believe that legend since she could see many girls who danced with their partners kept glancing at Shishio. With such a reaction, how could she believe in such a legend?
"But... I wish that we could be together forever."
Misaki smiled and said, "So, be with me forever, okay?"
She was so beautiful at that moment. She was like the bonfire, which kept the darkness away.
It was probably the most beautiful expression that Misaki had shown him.
"You don't need to make a wish since we will be together forever."
Those answers brought her to tears and a smile as she kissed him immediately.
As they kissed, they didn't know whether the legend was real or not, but one thing was for sure, they knew that they would be together forever.
