As night fell, Bell was still asleep on the sofa, and everyone else had returned to their rooms.
Takatsuki quietly pushed open i's door.
With Fu Hua currently undergoing treatnt, i had temporarily returned to living alone.
Seeing Takatsuki push open the door and enter, the girl's cheeks flushed slightly as she softly murmured, "Takatsuki…"
Although it was night, i hadn't gone to sleep. Instead, she sat by the bed, waiting for him to arrive.
"i."
Both of their voices were very low, because while the house's soundproofing was barely adequate, who knew if there might be ears behind the wall?
"Um, is there sothing you need?"
After updating their ability values and everyone went to rest, Takatsuki quietly said sothing to i, inviting her to et that night. i didn't say anything, but after tidying up her room and herself, she waited for Takatsuki's arrival with a mix of anticipation and shyness.
"Actually, there's sothing I want to give you. It's not very convenient in front of everyone."
In the dead of night, a single man and woman in a small room would normally lead to so things that are difficult to describe.
Takatsuki also subconsciously thought of this. Originally, he hadn't thought so much when he invited i, but in the current environnt, if the kerosene lamp by the bed were replaced with red candles, the atmosphere would be perfectly set.
"What is it?"
As soon as i asked, she saw an unfamiliar bouquet of flowers appear in Takatsuki's hand. They looked a bit like lilies, and the wrapping paper was just ordinary, casual paper, indicating that it wasn't a high-quality bouquet bought from a flower shop.
"These are flowers I saw in the Dungeon. It seems like it's been a long ti since I gave you flowers, ever since we left Changkong City, so the first mont I saw them, I picked them."
Takatsuki extended the flowers in his hand towards i.
i looked down at the flowers in front of her, then raised her head to look at Takatsuki.
"?"
Seeing i not take the flowers, Takatsuki couldn't help but feel a little flustered, "What's wrong? Don't you like them?"
"Did you forget sothing else?"
Hearing i's words, Takatsuki was a bit confused. Forgot what?
Had he ever promised i sothing?
But no matter how Takatsuki recalled, he couldn't rember what he had forgotten.
"Sorry, i, I can't rember what I forgot. Could you remind ?"
Not trying to save face, Takatsuki directly asked.
"Sigh…"
i sighed, "When you used to give flowers, you never just gave flowers."
Used to give flowers?
Ah! That's it.
Why did Takatsuki always give i flowers?
To put it in one sentence, it was just a system task.
Confessing to Raiden i, giving Raiden i flowers, and interacting with this protagonist would give Takatsuki crystals for gacha draws.
Later, when there were no more tasks, and due to so changes, this routine activity was temporarily forgotten.
Now that i brought it up, she must be nostalgic for those mories.
Takatsuki still rembered that after he pestered i for a week, she got angry and chased him with a wooden sword.
Fortunately, he had already drawn the Florence Eagle at the ti, otherwise, he probably would have been beaten black and blue by i.
And after i failed to chase him a few tis, plus Takatsuki never crossed the line, she tacitly accepted Takatsuki's existence.
And now…
Since i wanted to reminisce about the past, Takatsuki saw no reason to refuse.
Kneeling on one knee in front of i, who was sitting by the bed, he held up the bouquet in his hand and offered it to i, "Please be my girlfriend."
Reaching out to take the bouquet from Takatsuki's hand, i also showed a slight smile, "Okay."
Okay…
Ah…
Takatsuki instantly realized what had just happened. i, this sixteen-year-old young lady, actually ambushed and ambushed an eighteen-year-old old comrade like him. He was careless and didn't dodge.
However, if Takatsuki said he wasn't a little moved, that would definitely be a lie.
In fact, when he first t i, Takatsuki even fantasized about her accepting his confession.
After all, he was just an eighteen-year-old boy.
But after being rejected many tis, he just treated it as a task.
When i's family fell on hard tis, although it was only partly out of pity that he beca a part of her emotional support, he also fantasized about saving the disheartened girl, and then the girl falling for him.
But it still didn't happen…
Later, they went through a lot together, and Takatsuki felt that i just considered him a normal good friend, a male best friend.
After all, in his own world, he also had many female friends, but not a single girlfriend.
So, in a sense, he was used to it. Plus, wanting to be involved with the main storyline, he and the others stayed together, and he tried every ans to remain in the protagonist group.
But at this mont, he felt a sense of accomplishnt, but due to the sudden impact, he didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong? Takatsuki, are you unwilling?"
Seeing a hint of crimson appear in the girl's pupils, Takatsuki unhesitatingly embraced the girl in front of him.
"Ah!"
The sudden hug caught the girl off guard, but after a brief mont of panic, the girl put down the bouquet in her hand and hugged him back.
"I'm just too happy."
Holding the girl in his arms, feeling the faint fragrance lingering at his nose, Takatsuki said.
"I'm sorry."
Hearing the girl in his arms, Takatsuki asked with so surprise, "Why are you apologizing?"
"Originally, in Changkong City, I kept rejecting Takatsuki-kun. Takatsuki-kun was always by my side. At that ti, I, Takatsuki-kun, and Kiana, our ti together was really happy. I didn't want our relationship to be ruined…"
Hearing i's words, Takatsuki breathed a sigh of relief. With the atmosphere just now, he thought i was going to sing a sinner's elegy, leave without a word, or betray him on the spot.
"But haven't we always been together? Whether in Changkong City, or the journey from Hong Kong to Egypt, or St. Freya Academy, and even now, we are together… Hmm."
As soon as Takatsuki's words fell, he felt a soft touch on his lips, blocking the rest of his words.
Raiden i, a typical Far Eastern young lady, was polite in her interactions and a standard Yamato Nadeshiko.
Of course, this was only on the surface.
In private, i was very bold, even wearing adult-style thongs for underwear. In one word, she was a closet pervert.
Unlike Takatsuki, who had no romantic experience and was very awkward in male-female relationships, Raiden i, though also lacking romantic experience, was very bold, and for a mont, she actually took the initiative.
