Tokyo Psychic

Page 211

Tokyo is so spacious that you can't explore every street in an afternoon by train.

But Tokyo is also very cramped, as if life is imprisoned in a circle by invisible chains, and to get out you have to endure the excruciating pain of your skin and flesh being torn apart.

In Momoka Kawahara's eyes, Akira Kurusu was an extremely arrogant person, an arrogance somewhat similar to that of Shoko Toyokawa.

He found Momoka Kawaharaki, who was trapped in a mundane life, and without saying a word, he removed the shackles from her body, pulling her out of her boring and tedious time.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that all the encounters started when Kawara Momoka met Iori Jinna, who was squatting in an alley and crying, while she was delivering a package.

So, it turns out that the celery was the real culprit behind her current predicament?!

When Momoka Kawahara was pushed onto the bed, she was surprisingly calm, even a little mischievous, wondering how she had been tricked into this trap by the boy in front of her...

It's probably because she could no longer bear being alone.

The adult world is always full of "everyone getting what they need".

If Akira Kurusu is trying to take something precious from her that is invaluable to a young girl... Momoka Kawaharaki also happens to yearn for some warmth from Akira Kurusu that can mend her inner wounds.

The old incandescent bulb was covered with a layer of dust that couldn't be wiped clean, but its light could still penetrate this fog-like barrier and shine on Momoka Kawahara's face, making it dazzlingly white.

As everyone knows, those stains are traces of time and loneliness, and to wash them clean, you need at least a basin of warm water.

However, before that, you should at least turn off the power before unscrewing it... otherwise, the light bulb connected to the wires cannot be controlled at will.

Even though she hadn't been drinking, Momoka Kawahara felt like she was drunk.

A rosy blush graced her fair face, and her deep gray eyes were misty with tears. She stared blankly at the boy so close to her, a sense of anticipation gradually rising within her.

Her face, which was originally full of heroic spirit and coldness, has now softened into a charming look that is hard to look away from.

As if she had made up her mind, the girl's cherry-red lips opened and closed lightly.

"Ren...may I call you that?"

As she spoke, Kawara Momoka abruptly turned her eyes away, refusing to meet Akira's gaze.

“Of course,” Akira Kurusu placed her palm on her round, straight thigh encased in black pantyhose, and then moved it upwards very gently and slowly.

The overly gentle touch made Momoka Kawara shiver involuntarily. "It tickles." Her blush deepened, and she became even more reluctant to meet Akira Kurusu's gaze.

It wasn't until Akira Kurusu's fingertips slipped under Momoka Kawara's stockings and into the cuffs of her denim shorts that she belatedly realized she should at least offer a token resistance.

So Momoka Kawahara kicked off her shoes and gently pushed Akira Kurusu's chest to prevent him from pressing directly on her... "Take a shower first... I'm sweating a lot."

"The feel has actually improved," Akira Kurusu commented calmly.

Kawara Momoka understood the meaning behind his words, and felt as if his hands, which were playing with her thighs, were branded with hot irons, burning wherever they touched.

Then, she couldn't help but squeeze her legs together to prevent Akira's hand from going any deeper.

It's no surprise that she's a single woman living alone, having weathered the awkwardness and confusion of adolescence and accumulated a wealth of "special experience" through the internet, word of mouth, and her own hands-on practice. She quickly developed "special feelings" after just a simple flirtation from Akira Kurusu.

After a long, almost lingering, argument involving physical gestures, Momoka Kawahara's attitude softened, and the words that finally came to her lips were almost pleading.

"You've sweated a lot today. Whatever you're going to do, at least take a shower first..."

As Akira Kurusu looked at Momoka Kawahara, who was lying on the bed with her clothes disheveled, and felt the short, warm breath she exhaled onto the back of his hand, he continued to explore her unguarded secrets and realized that the girl's body was fully prepared.

"Tao Xiang is really quite vulgar."

"Don't say that..." Kawara Momoka felt her bones were about to go completely limp under Kurusu Akira's skilled massage, and electric currents were running through her body. She couldn't even make the slightest movement to resist, so she could only weakly say words that were no different from coquetry.

Akira withdrew her hands that had been used for her mischief. "Momoka didn't even ask me anything."

"We've come this far, what else can I ask you?" Kawara Momoka rolled her eyes at him, her sudden allure making him momentarily lose his composure.

"For example, why they specifically targeted you."

“There will always be something about you that you appreciate… Anyway, you’re not the kind of person who gets attracted to pretty girls.” If Akira Kurusu were truly just attracted to pretty girls, he would have far too many girls to choose from, and there would be no need for him to waste his time on Momoka Kawaragi.

"I really admire Momoka's pride and perseverance." Akira Kurusu made no attempt to hide his admiration for Momoka Kawara. "Because Ms. Momoka is truly a very 'cool' girl."

"Let's just assume this isn't a lie to deceive a girl's feelings..." Kawara Momoka sighed deeply, then struggled to get out of bed.

"I thought you were going to say 'deceive the body'."

“It’s fine if I really give it to you,” Momoka Kawahara stared at Akira Kurusu with a sullen look. “After all, you’re a ‘beautiful boy’ in every sense of the word, and you’re excellent in every way. If you’re my first time with someone, I won’t feel like I’m losing out…”

"Can't you just be honest and say you like me?"

"You...you can't do this," Momoka Kawahara felt a nameless fire burning within her, a sense of helplessness washing over her. Her moist eyes darted away from Akira Kurusu's gaze several times before she finally whispered, "You can lie to me with your body, but if you lie to me with my feelings...I really will..."

The girl's words came to an abrupt halt.

Akira Kurusu pushed Momoka Kawaharagi back onto the bed and then kissed her lips without restraint.

Her first kiss was taken away so hastily... Momoka Kawahara found that she didn't feel any regret about this development, but only an indescribable sense of satisfaction and peace of mind.

She sadly discovered that she didn't need Lai Qixiao's deception at all; she had already unknowingly fallen in love with the boy in front of her.

What Momoka Kawaharaki needed was never the so-called sense of security, but simply someone who could see through the weakness hidden behind her strength and independence, and then forcefully break the deadlock in her life.

She quickly released her lips, allowing Akira Kurusu to take whatever she wanted from her...

Then, following the desire welling up from the depths of her heart, she hugged the boy in front of her tightly.

Just when Momoka Kawahara had decided to spend her "first night" in such a less-than-ideal situation, Akira Kurusu let her go.

At that moment, Momoka Kawara clearly sensed just how "strong" the boy in front of her was.

She was picked up by the phantom thief and carried to a very narrow, secluded bathroom in the bedroom.

......

Unlike any girl Akira Kurusu had ever met before.

Although both were experiencing their first sexual encounters, Momoka Kawaharaki appeared far more poised and confident than the others.

Although she also felt pain, she seemed to have a wealth of theoretical knowledge and knew how to get through the initial intense pain and then enjoy the process—this was different from An and Subaru's knowledge, which was entirely accumulated from Galgames, hentai, and manga.

As a former professional rock singer, Momoka Kawaharaki has been exposed to many of the industry's malpractices.

But after all, they were a girl band debuting, and they harbored pure and passionate dreams, so she and her friends were very careful to avoid the undercurrents of danger. At the same time, they inevitably lost their innocent and naive ideas... The world is not as beautiful as they imagined. Only after leaving home and school did they discover that the city is full of covetous and greedy malicious eyes.

Momoka Kawahara would feel very lucky at this time.

You can meet Akira Kurusu just when you're about to be completely disappointed with Tokyo.

The alarm clock at six in the morning woke the sleeping girl from her sweet dream. The tenderness of the whole night made her feel an indescribable happiness, and the loneliness that had been lingering in her heart ever since she left "Diamond Dust" quietly evaporated.

The beauty of that fusion of body and soul is beyond the power of words to describe.

No amount of sweet talk can compare to the satisfaction and peace of mind that comes from being honest with each other, a feeling that extends from instinct to the soul.

There was no shyness, no embarrassment. The first thing Kawara Momoka said to Kurusu Akira after gradually regaining consciousness was, "What should I do from now on?"

She should have been a very opinionated girl, but now she has handed over the power to decide her own life to the boy in front of her.

Akira Kurusu sensed the heavy responsibility in those words, so she grasped Momoka Kawaragi's smooth shoulders and asked, "What are your own thoughts, Momoka?"

Momoka Kawara tossed her long hair behind her shoulder and sighed rather plaintively, "Can I even choose for myself? If you're willing, I can try my best to become a virtuous woman."

"That would be putting the cart before the horse. What I like most is Momoka's cool side."

"Wow, so cool... How exactly is he?"

Faced with Momoka's question, Akira Kurusu remained silent, only looking at the naked girl in bed with a half-smile, until she turned her face away in embarrassment. Only then did Akira Kurusu slowly ask her, "Momoka should know what I want to say, right?"

"I probably don't deserve such praise yet, but since you've said so, I'll try my best to become better until I can meet your expectations, right?" Momoka Kawara muttered to herself, then said rather helplessly, "Also, you should be getting ready to go to school now, right?...Hey! Stop touching me there!"

"It was Momoka who felt it first."

"Hurry up and go to school! My stomach feels really uncomfortable!"

......

As a result, Akira Kurusu was forcefully kicked out of the apartment by Momoka Kawaragi.

On her way to the train station, Akira Kurusu opened Line on her phone and found Nijika Ijichi's account.

[Four Jumps (Kurasu Akira): Nijika, do you remember the issue of band professionalization we discussed before?]

[Nijika Ijichi: Why are you suddenly bringing this up?]

[Ichi Nijika: Also, why did you change your name again? I remember it used to be... "Three Leaps"?]

[Four Jumps: In short, if you're truly ready to take the band professional, you no longer need to worry about Momoka's disapproval.]

[Ichi Nijika: Hmm? ? ? ]

[Four ships jumped: I've already convinced her for you.]

[Nijika Ichichi: I don't know exactly what happened to you guys after you left STARRY... but to produce such amazing results, Amamiya must have worked really hard last night!]

[Nijika Ichichi: I really need to thank you properly!]

(It's already the last two days of March, and all the monthly tickets and death threats I've received are about to be used up... Please give me a little bit in exchange for extra chapters!!)

179. My Love Apartment (Two-in-One)

-----------

She actually had to thank me.

Akira Kurusu looked at Nijika Ichi's reply on his phone, his expression subtly strange. It was a mix of embarrassment and guilt, making him seem like a complete scumbag who had designs on his bandmates...

A message notification popped up on the screen.

[You Must Be Happy (Toyokawa Shoko): I took the day off from school today to help Xiao Mu move. Do you want to come with me?]

[Four ships jump (Kurasu Akatsuki): Yes, ma'am!]

[You must be happy: ...?]

【You must be happy: What's with your ID?】

[Four boats leaping: Xiangzi, has anyone ever told you that you're very curious?]

【Must be happy: ? ?】Even through the screen, you can almost see that the young lady of the Toyokawa family has clenched her fists.

[Four ships jump: Stop worrying about such trivial matters... Where are you now? Where do we meet?]

[You must be happy: This way of changing the subject is so abrupt!]

[Four ships jumped: Enough chit-chat, quickly report the coordinates.]

At that moment, next to the station in Akabane-cho, Toyokawa Shoko turned to look at her suitcase and suddenly wanted to swing it and smash it on the forehead of the boy whose moral bottom line was gradually slipping.

Fortunately, Akira Kurusu wasn't in front of her. She placed her hand on the handle of her suitcase, but felt strangely unsure where to put it.

Facing the bustling tram stop, Toyokawa Shoko gradually calmed down.

Or maybe I should just let him be... I'll definitely be the one who wins in the end anyway.

The heiress of a chaebol suddenly had such thoughts in her mind.

Especially considering that she and Wakaba Mutsu would be living with this guy soon, her confidence in winning grew even stronger, as if she were speeding along the high-speed track of their relationship in a Maybach.

So I carried my suitcase and walked into the station.

Shoko Toyokawa replied to Akira Kurusu while operating her phone with one hand: "Of course, we'll meet at Mutsu's house; she has too much luggage."

In fact, Takafumi Wakaba had suggested taking Mutsu Wakaba to "Fujiki-ju" with the driver, but his daughter, Motis, quickly refused.

As a personality born to protect Wakaba Mutsumi amidst his rapidly deteriorating family situation, Metath naturally harbors considerable hostility towards Wakaba Takafumi and Mori Minami.

Perhaps because Wakaba Mutsu herself didn't know how to face her two parents who were afraid of her, she chose to let Metis take her place... To be precise, before being given the responsibility of "protecting Wakaba Mutsu" and receiving treatment from Dr. Maruki, Metis was another version of herself that "Wakaba Mutsu" portrayed in response to her parents' expectations and needs. It wasn't until she gained Akira Kurusu's recognition and obtained the power of Persona through the Impression Space that she truly became independent and was no longer just a performer.

Metis firmly refused Wakaba Takafumi and Mori Minami's help and left home with her luggage in an almost defiant manner.

With a loud bang, the front door of the mansion was slammed shut.
