I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga - Chapter 367



367 – A Promise Between Two People

Yuika, who had called me to the line, was sitting on a bench in Citizens’ Park.

The sky had already turned black, so the only source of light was the street lamp in the park, and Yuika’s shadowed figure looked somewhat lonely, making it difficult to talk to her.

But I gathered courage and called her her her name

“Yuika.”

Then Yuika, who had been staring at the ground, suddenly raised her head.

“Ah, senior.”

I asked as I slowly approached her side

“Did you wait long?”

“No, I haven’t waited that long. About 10 minutes? 20 minutes?”

Yuika said that and naturally gave up the seat next to her.

I willingly sat down next to her.

Originally, I had planned to sit a little distance apart, but perhaps because I am so big, I naturally ended up sitting next to each other.

“I… I heard that my senior was going to Kyoto tomorrow, so I contacted him.”

Yuika said and tried her luck first.

“Actually, since we broke up like that last time, it was difficult for me to ask to meet up. I guess I was afraid. I was afraid that my senior, who felt pressured, might not want to meet me.”

I sat next to her and listened to her in silence.

“But I really felt like I would never see you again if I didn’t see you this time, so I gathered up my courage and came to see you.”

Yuika clenched her fists as she said that, and then she jumped up from her seat.

Then, she came right in front of me sitting on the bench and confidently made eye contact.

“Senior, I know it’s ugly to say this, but I just couldn’t give up. I tried to forget you, but I can’t lie to my heart.”

Immediately after, Yuika spoke to me with a determined expression.

“So, can you give me just one chance?”

… Looks similar.

Even though Yuika had been rejected once, she looked so similar to Rika who confessed to me again in class 2-B on the day of the cultural festival that I felt a bit of déjà vu.

But then the situation and now are different.

Unlike five years ago, I am now a married man who already has eight wives.

“… Yuika, I appreciate your feelings. But I have no choice but to give the same answer this time. After all, if he accepts your confession, it would be an affair.”

“These days, even adultery is pure love!”

“Uh-huh! That sounds dangerous!”

When I reflexively scolded Yuika for making a comment that could be dangerous depending on what she heard, Yuika made a whining noise.

It felt like the heavy atmosphere had finally eased, so I looked at Yuika with her confused expression and asked, feeling more at ease.

“Do you like me that much?”

Then Yuika cried and nodded.

From noble mtl dot come

“… Yes.”

“As I just said, I am a married man with eight wives.”

“Honestly, if there are that many people, 8 or 9 people are the same. It’s not like the front seats have changed.”

“Ugh.”

Yuika’s words suddenly hit my bones, and I cried out in tears.

Because it wasn’t particularly wrong.

Seeing Yuika still looking at me with a regretful expression made me feel weak, and I sighed softly and said.

“Yuika, then let’s do it this way.”

“What?”

“If, just in case, you still like me after studying abroad, please confess it to me then. Then, I will think about it seriously.”

I said that and looked at Yuika with her serious eyes.

Then Yuika asked with a brightened expression, as if she had been crying for a while.

“Really?!”

“Instead, while you are attending university abroad, I will not meet you even if you come to Japan. That is the minimum condition.”

“That’s okay!” I can tolerate it!”

Yuika shows confidence by saying that.

But three years is a very long time.

And if her face she is not even visible for that long, her earnest feelings her for me will eventually be diluted.

“You’re not going to say anything else later?”

“Okay, okay.”

But as if this wasn’t enough to ease her mind, Yuika held out her right hand.

I knew what that meant, so I gave her a wry smile and held out her hand as well.

“I promise with my fingers! If you lie, I’ll swallow a thousand needles!”

Yuika barely shows a bright expression after making a promise that only children would make.

This girl is definitely prettier smiling than her crying face.

I got up thinking that.

“Then I’ll just go in now. Have a nice study abroad, Yuika.”

“Yes! Have a good day, Senpai!”

Yuika bowed her head while saying that and she suddenly caught me as I was about to leave the park.

“Ah! Senpai! Just a moment!”

“?”

The moment I turned my head to see what was going on, I felt a soft touch on her lips.

“What-“

As I looked at her with a surprised expression, Yuika raised her tiptoes and then slowly stepped back and spoke.

“It’s my first kiss. I’ll leave it to my senior.”

“What kind of thing is a kiss? You leave it to me.”

When I said that with her face her blushing her, Yuika smiled mischievously and teased me.

“There are times when even seniors feel embarrassed, right?”

“… Because I’m a man too.”

“Anyway, I don’t have any regrets about this anymore. So, it’s really goodbye, Senpai.”

After saying that, Yuika waved her hand slightly.

“When we meet in three years, I hope we smile like we do now.”

“Okay, okay.”

I nodded to Yuika’s sincere request and left the park first, seeing her off her.

***

The passage of time is relative.

A time that may be a very short moment to some feels like a very long time to others.

In that sense, the golden years of my life were my second and third years of high school.

I guess you could say that I made memories that I can cherish for the rest of my life.

Of course, the days I will live in the future are longer than the days I have lived, but the experiences I had when I was in high school were powerful enough.

On the other hand, when I was a college student who was buried in studying to find what I wanted to do, I felt like time passed much faster.

Unlike in high school, I didn’t make any friends, and we rarely got together, so the boring daily life just repeated itself.

But that doesn’t mean the time wasn’t worth it.

Thanks to focusing only on my studies, I was able to find ‘what I wanted to do’, something I had been thinking about since I was in high school.

Considering how important ‘career’ is in living life in the future, I could say that it was a worthwhile four years.

Anyway, one year after graduating from university.

I heard the news through Ryuji while I was still adjusting to the career I had chosen.

Yuika, who graduated from the Master’s program in Archeology at the University of Cambridge in England, has finally returned to Japan after completing her studies.

So we decided to gather Yuika and a few of her close friends and pick her up at the airport.

And on the day of the appointment.

Narita International Airport, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

We each departed separately and joined at the airport. We stood in front of the immigration counter and waited for Yuika to come out.

“It’s been a while, Ryuji.”

“It’s been a while since you too, Yoosung.”

Ryuji, who had been in pretty good shape in high school, was now incomparably more muscular than back then, and shook my hand.

Of course, unlike me, who did fitness training, Ryuji’s body was not as big as mine because his muscles were strengthened secondary while training in martial arts.

Now, after traveling the world, he seems to be working as a martial arts instructor at Yaguchi’s house, Mujinryu Jujutsu Dojo.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you. Kim Yu-seong.”

“Mahes, you are the same as before.”

“Heh, the glory of the Pharaoh is always the same.”

“No, I didn’t mean it that way…”

Well, it’s true that the appearance hasn’t changed, so I’ll just skip it.

After saying hello to the Ryuji & Mahes duo one by one, this time it’s this guy’s turn.

“Chiaki, it’s been a while since you too.”

“Yeah. It’s been a while.”

A beauty dressed in a kimono with her pure white hair neatly tied up.

Although she is now Ryuji’s wife, she used to live under the same roof as me, so I feel like I met her family during the holidays.

Unlike in the past when she looked like a girl, I shook hands with Chiaki, who now looks more appropriate for her age. Finally, I exchanged a glance with Kozue, Chiaki’s co-worker, a shrine maiden who worships the Thunder God, and Yuika’s close friend.

You might ask why I only discriminate against Kozue, but it’s because Kozue has a four-dimensional personality that makes it difficult for me to deal with her.

Anyway, as four people were waiting in front of the immigration hall holding a picket, the gate soon opened and a beautiful woman with a somewhat familiar appearance came out dragging a suitcase.

“Yuika!”

“Yui!”

As we called her name Yuika, who was wearing black sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, looked at us.

“Oppa!”

A wide smile spread across her expressionless face, and Yuika rushed over to Ryuji, dragging her carrier with one hand.

“Wow!”

“I missed you, brother.”

When Yuika said that and made a big fuss, Ryuji, a siscon, smiled bitterly and rubbed Yuika’s her back her her her her.

As I was watching this touching family reunion from a third party’s perspective, Yuika escaped from Ryuji’s arms and took turns greeting Chiaki and Kozue.

“It’s been a while. New sister. And Kozu-chan, it’s been a while too.”

“Yes.”

As Kozue nodded her head with proud expression, Chiaki smiled and looked away, then made eye contact with me, who was holding a sign that said ‘welcome to Japan’.

“It’s been a while. Yoosung oppa.”

“You don’t call me senior anymore.”

When I said that and smiled bitterly, Yuika shook her head and said.

“If you call me senior, it feels like you’re putting some distance between you. So now I’m thinking of calling you oppa. Or do you prefer titles like darling or honey?”

“… What?”

I was momentarily speechless due to Yuika’s surprise attack on her.

And the same thing happened to Ryuji next to him who suffered a brain freeze.

“What on earth do you mean? Yuika.”

Then Yuika grinned, and suddenly she closed to my right arm and made an explosive statement.

“I mean it literally. Oppa. Yoosung oppa here said that if I do not change his mind during the three years he is studying abroad, he will accept my confession.”

“What?! No! I said I would think about it seriously, but I didn’t say I would accept my confession!”

“You’re not saying you’re going to change your mind now, are you? I’ve been looking forward to this day for so long.”

“No, that’s right!”

The more Yuika openly expresses affection in front of others, the more Ryuji’s expression deteriorates in real time.

Sensing that the atmosphere was becoming unusual, I cautiously called his name.

“… Ryuji?”

Then Ryuji, with an angry expression, glared at me and said.

“Follow me out of the airport. Kim Yu-seong.”

Haha! This is truly a masterpiece! “The day is coming when I have to fight with my friend again because of my sister’s love problems!”

“No, if you have time to laugh, try to stop me!”

I said that in an urgent tone, but Mahes didn’t even seem to listen.

No, you might actually like the fact that you can fight with me for the first time in a long time.

Yuika, the culprit behind all of this, met my gaze and smiled brightly.

“Oppa, will you take responsibility?”

They say there is no paradise where I ran away, and it seems this was my final destination.

“… Okay.”

I fell for Yuika’s trick and ended up fighting to the death at Ryuji’s dojo for 12 hours, but that’s a story for another time.
