#174 No Longer Dream
Last Updated:
2024-11-29 07:01:56Kenji's kiss sapped Akiko’s strength, leaving her body limp in his embrace. As Kenji's tongue gently nudged her lips open, her body surrendered, feeling warmer.
Akiko could only comply as Kenji slowly pressed her against the wall, searching for what he had long awaited with enormous patience. He released her lips, tracing down her cheek and jawline, and gently bit her neck.
“This isn’t a dream... You’re mine... You’ve truly become mine.” Kenji whispered, slightly confused, as his desire mixed with emotion and happiness.
It was hard for him to believe that Akiko was now his after so long—years of thinking she was unattainable. She was an untouchable treasure that he shouldn't even dream of.
“Yes... I’m here,” Akiko whispered back, responding more smoothly now.
Her shyness and hesitation had melted away, consumed by passion, after Kenji showed her the way. Akiko softly kissed his lips, givin

Akiko's emotions right now can only be described as pure happiness and excitement. The rows of stalls on both sides of the street displayed a variety of goods and games, leaving Akiko unable to blink.Her wide eyes reflected the light from the variously sized lanterns around her as she spun around, not wanting to miss a single detail of everything surrounding her.Akiko couldn’t recall ever liking summer festivals, but she knew immediately that she loved them the moment she saw the crowd. No words could fully capture her feelings. Everything felt beautiful, joyful, and fun—but more than that. It was the highest level of perfection.“How about we buy that?” After silently accompanying Akiko for a while, Kenji suggested letting her do whatever she pleased. But instead of doing anything, Akiko stood there, overwhelmed by happiness.“Huh? What?” Akiko turned to look at him.“That.” Kenji pointed at

"You're beautiful," said Ryu."What... Are you out of your mind? I just said so many things, and that's all you can say?" Kyoko hissed—forced to hiss because she couldn't shout.They were at the party Kyoko had mentioned. Ryu wasn't supposed to attend the party, as it was exclusive to MOL shareholders and a select group of high-level managers.Kyoko was surprised when she saw Ryu casually walking in. Of course, Ryu used the excuse that he was there to represent Kenji. When he did that, no one dared stop him."You made the effort to attend this event, and that is all you wish to discuss?" Kyoko hissed again, irritated.Before Ryu had complimented her, Kyoko had already mentioned several names she found suspicious and involved in smuggling and embezzlement within MOL. But instead of discussing that, Ryu focused on something she considered completely unimportant—her appearance."But you're beautiful. Why don't you keep this look eve

"Do you know Sato-san well?" Murakami inquired as they exited the party room. He was a little surprised to see Kyoko conversing so comfortably with Ryu.They walked down the hallway toward the door, passing through the dimly lit, elegant hotel lobby. The party took place in one of the large hotel halls in Tokyo, and Kyoko wouldn't be surprised if it was owned by the Kuryugumi."Not really. We've met a few times because of Hi... Sandaime." Kyoko nearly hesitated before uttering Kenji's name. Ryu wouldn't mind, but it would be strange to Murakami."Oh, yeah, they usually hang out together a lot," Murakami nodded."Have you worked for Sandaime for a while?" Kyoko asked."Not really. Just about three years," he explained."Where did you work before that?" Kyoko was curious as to where Kenji had found Murakami."Oh, this is my first job. I've been part of the Kuryugumi since way back.""Are you like Ry—I mean, Sato-san?"

"I just want you to help me check if my apartment is safe or not."Kyoko protested throughout the journey and repeated it several times on the way to Ryu's house, even after the car had stopped."No. If I help check your apartment, then there's a chance that anyone who enters will see us together. What's the point of us avoiding each other all this time if, in the end, someone sees us together? All the hard work you've done will be wasted." Ryu provided a detailed explanation, as Kyoko had previously refuted his brief version."Then take me somewhere else! I don't want to stay at your house!" Kyoko was still adamant, even though Ryu’s car had already entered his garage."No. It’s not in my nature to leave a woman—especially one I know—in danger or distress," Ryu firmly refused."I'm not scared! And I'm not distressed!" Kyoko argued.Ryu smiled, then turned to Kyoko while resting his hand on the steering wheel. "You ma

Kyoko woke up and groaned, her legs aching. She had exerted herself excessively while running yesterday. She sat on the bed and glanced around.Last night, as soon as she entered the room, she collapsed onto the bed and almost immediately fell asleep. It was something she regretted now, as she should have been more alert in an unfamiliar place."I'm just tired... I'm only tired," Kyoko reasoned with herself, trying to avoid admitting that Ryu's presence made her feel safe. She preferred the excuse that she was simply exhausted. She didn't want her sense of safety to come from someone else.Kyoko got up and carefully opened the door. It was already quite late in the day. Ryu should have woken up by now, but the house was still quiet. She walked toward the living room and froze when she heard a door open and close upstairs.Kyoko looked up, hoping to see Ryu. She wanted to ask when they could check on her apartment. But what she saw made her feel suddenly c

Kyoko stared silently at the commotion happening in front of her—a scuffle that had even escalated to physical altercations, as Yui retaliated against Ryu's annoyance with another chopstick strike.Kyoko stood speechless, too shocked to respond. She couldn’t believe how wrong her assumptions had been. And of course, she could easily trace the reason.It was because she had drawn conclusions with her heart, not her mind. Kyoko had rushed to conclusions without weighing evidence or considering other reasonable possibilities.She had easily believed that Yui was Ryu's girlfriend, or perhaps even his wife, despite many things that should have raised questions.Ryu had previously mentioned having an older sibling, but he didn't specify the gender, so the possibility wasn't completely ruled out. It was a rare mistake for Kyoko to make. Ryu was the culprit behind that mistake.Kyoko knew well that Ryu didn’t just unsettle her

"Where are you going?" When Kenji saw Akiko following him outside, dressed neatly, he asked. Kenji went to work, and Akiko usually stayed home."I'm delivering this to Miura-san." Akiko lifted the macramé she had finally finished making."She’s going to tease you again. Just watch." Kenji chuckled softly as he sat on the chair by the door to put on his shoes.Akiko instantly sulked as she realized the truth. Miura never got bored of teasing her every time they met. The wedding ceremony had been almost three weeks ago, but Miura still kept bringing up the kiss Akiko had shared in public.Many guests had taken photos and videos of the event, so Miura had no trouble showing Akiko's daring act back then."You should have stopped me instead of making it worse!" Akiko sulked, sitting next to Kenji. She noticed how Kenji had actually cupped her head, prolonging the moment.Kenji laughed and flicked Akiko's nose. "I did it on purpose. I

"Wait! It’s probably nothing. It’s stopped!" Akiko tried to stop Kenji, who was running fast towards the clinic next to the village head's office.But Kenji wasn’t listening anymore. He rushed into the clinic, startling the female nurse sitting at the reception desk. The clinic was already quiet."Kenji-kun? What’s going on?" She asked in surprise, glancing at Akiko, who immediately turned to look at her as well. The use of "Kenji-kun" made Akiko feel an unpleasant twinge of dislike.Akiko glanced at the nurse to gauge her age. She was probably in her thirties, older than herself, but she was clearly the only young woman Akiko had seen since arriving in this village."Nosebleed," Kenji said as he lowered Akiko onto a waiting chair. His breathing was ragged, and he was drenched in sweat from carrying Akiko for quite a distance."One moment. I’ll call Saito-sensei." The nurse went inside to get the doctor."Are you close with that nurse?" Akiko asked, still holding her fingers under her

"Yuto-kun? Where are you? Have you seen the news? You have to see it!"Karin's panicked shout left Kenji feeling slightly disappointed. Karin didn’t recognize his voice. She kept talking, thinking she was speaking to Yuto."That’s Otou-san, right? What happens now? Will that position be lost?" Karin was panicked, and naturally, Kenji smiled.It was better this way. She couldn’t recognize his voice because she didn’t expect him to be involved in all the misfortunes that had occurred. Kenji had answered the phone because he wanted to give Karin a little hint about what was coming her way next. But perhaps it wasn’t necessary. Surprises always produced more satisfying results."Yuto-kun?!" Karin shouted again, having received no answer.So, Kenji crouched down and covered the phone’s mic."Answer, but don’t say anything about me," Kenji whispered, commanding and threatening.Yuto clearly wanted to

[For the next news. We were taken aback by the unexpected news that arrived today. We have confirmed that this case is currently under police investigation as we release this report.]The opening of the news made Yuto glance back at Kenji. He couldn’t understand why Kenji had come over just to invite him to watch TV. It couldn’t be that simple.But Kenji wasn’t paying attention. He continued to watch the television, smiling.[This morning, it was reported that a man with the initial 'K,' who was recently appointed as the Minister of Education, has committed a criminal act.]At that point, Yuto's face went pale. Although the news only mentioned an initial—not a full name—the title mentioned was enough to clarify the identity. Since only one person on Earth had been appointed Japan's Minister of Education, the narrative fit perfectly.Yuto could easily imagine what had happened because he had spent half his life knowing

“What’s wrong with you?”Kenji held back Akiko’s hand, which was about to feed her a large piece of roasted fish without removing the bones. Akiko was just going to eat it as is.“Oh.” Akiko looked at the fish on the end of her chopsticks and put it back down.Kenji moved his chair closer to Akiko, took the plate, separated the fish meat from the bones, and then returned it. Now it was safe to eat.“What were you daydreaming about?” Kenji asked.Earlier, Kenji thought Akiko was just sleepy, so he didn’t pay much attention to the food in front of her. But Akiko didn’t look drowsy; her eyes were just vacant, lost in thought.“I… Oh, never mind.” Akiko shook her head and proceeded with her breakfast.“If you don’t like today’s activities, cancel everything and rest.” Kenji was unable to recall what Akiko had planned to do next.&

"Let go!"As she got closer, Akiko began to hear the conversation between Shibata and the foreign man.The man appeared to be struggling, trying to free himself from Shibata. His hands were tied behind his back.Akiko instinctively hesitated to approach, not understanding what was happening. The rope binding him was concerning, but she still wanted to know what was going on."Shibata-san, what’s happening?" Akiko called out a bit loudly to get Shibata's attention.Both Shibata and the man arguing with him turned to her in surprise. At first, Akiko focused solely on Shibata—the person she recognized more—but the foreign man drew her attention more.This was because Akiko noticed how the man was staring at her with unblinking eyes. He was scrutinizing her from head to toe, making Akiko feel uncomfortable. She instinctively took two steps back, wanting to avoid his gaze. She disliked that look; it felt wrong—disgusting.

“What happened in the front room?” Akiko asked curiously as she entered Kenji’s office and approached him, sitting in a chair and staring at his laptop.Akiko had seen a few people fixing the shoji door, which had earlier been split by a blunt katana.“There was a stray cat that came in, and there was a bit of a scene getting it out,” Kenji said, closing the laptop and extending his hand. As usual, Akiko took his hand and sat on his lap, resting it on his thigh.“Where’s the cat? Was it cute?” Akiko inquired as she settled in, craning her neck to look around the room.Kenji felt a pang of regret upon witnessing Akiko's intense passion for cats. He gave the first excuse that came to mind—a mild one, hoping to end the conversation quickly. He forgot that Akiko had always been fond of cats and fluffy animals.“It’s gone, and you shouldn’t try to find it,” Kenji said, gently

Yuto tried to escape by opening the sliding door, but someone was standing right in front of it, looking startled as the door suddenly opened.Relief washed over Yuto, hoping for help from the person. He grabbed the man's hand."Please… he…"Before he could finish his plea, Yuto's body was pushed back into the room, and the door slammed shut.Of course, Kojima wouldn't dare interfere with whatever Kenji was about to do. He wasn't Ryu, who was empowered to stop Kenji from killing. Kojima himself could become the target if he got too involved.Panicking, Yuto turned around and collapsed to the floor, his legs giving out as Kenji approached closer. Kenji's eyes were locked onto him, not wavering for a second."I didn't know at first! Really! I only found out after Akiko left. I only did the test after she left the house!"Yuto raised his hands, trying to block the impending strike. He pleaded for Kenji to reconsider w

"Sandaime, the guest you’ve been waiting for has arrived."Kojima met Kenji in his office and reported who had arrived. Kenji slammed the documents in his hand on the desk.He was furious, as the arrival of that trash man was a sign that something had gone wrong. Kenji was already aware that something was amiss, but he was unsure of the specific cause.Ever since he received the report about Yuto’s strange movements—disappearing into a foreign car for a while, then emerging to visit his home in Tokyo—it had raised questions. But the next report angered Kenji even more: Yuto had gone to Osaka—to the grand house of the Kuryugumi.The sequence of visits—first to Tanaka's home in Tokyo and then in Osaka—clearly demonstrated Yuto's familiarity with him. Kenjiki Tanaka, known as the Sandaime, was indeed the same Kenjiki Tanaka who resided in Akiko's uncle's home.However, Kenji's plan to destroy Nakam

Yuto glanced at the man sitting next to him. He looked friendly, slightly past middle age, with a smooth bald head.At first, Yuto had been surprised when he saw the man, expecting to meet someone much older or perhaps physically disabled. When the two men now seated in the front row mentioned that the person they were serving couldn't get out of the car, Yuto immediately had that image in mind.A misleading statement immediately put Yuto on guard, and sitting next to the man only increased his suspicion. The man appeared to smile kindly, but his smile was actually a probing one. He kept observing.“Sorry, but what is this about?” Yuto asked, slightly annoyed. He needed an explanation, not scrutiny.“No need to panic. I'm just going to take you for a short ride. It won’t be far,” the man explained,still smiling.Yuto could see the truth in the man's words, as the car was merely circling the school area.

"Are you sure you don’t want to hire anyone else to help?"Yuto asked the question again, for what felt like the hundredth time—ever since his mother had returned from the hospital about two weeks ago—to Karin."No. As long as it's limited to cooking for Okaa-san and attending to her other needs, I can manage. I’m happy to do this because I can finally repay her for everything she’s done for me."Karin answered emotionally while feeding porridge to Kaede. But the porridge trickled out again as Kaede spat it back out.It kept happening, and Karin repeated the process over and over. Only two of the ten spoonfuls actually made it into Kaede's body. Even though her face was slightly tilted, her lip muscles could still muster the energy to spit. Sadly, she could only make faint grumbling sounds."Okaa-san, why don’t you want to eat? You need to keep eating. I’m sure Okaa-san will recover." Yuto knelt besid
