Chapter 1226 - Sonan Kyouko (2/2)
---
After they had sung karaoke, the relationship between Haru and Kyouko became closer and they talked to each other while laughing.
”Is there some place that you want to visit?” Haru asked.
When she was asked by Haru, Kyouko was a bit surprised, but she thought for a while and nodded.
”Yes, can you follow me?”
---
”The sea, huh?”
Haru looked at the blue ocean right in front of him, he remembered that he often brought his heroines to the beach and ocean so he wasn't that surprised.
”You don't like it?” Kyouko asked.
”No, I love the ocean. When you gaze across, it calms you down,” Haru said. He somehow also felt that it was quite nostalgic. Then he looked at Kyouko and asked, ”So what about you? You've brought me here so I guess you love to gaze into the ocean?”
”What I dreamt was something of happiness. What I wished for was something of love. Beyond that mountain is a quiet town. And on sunny Sundays, the sky is blue.” Kyouko stared at the ocean and shook her head. She looked at him and smiled. ”My father used to recite that as he gazed across the ocean. I guess it rubbed off on me.”
”So your reason to work at the Beauty Salon PRINCE was because of your father?” Haru asked.
Kyouko had her flashback scene on the last chapter so Haru understood what had happened to Kyouko's father and at how she hated the Penguins.
”That might be one of the reasons but...” Kyouko gazed across the sea and said, ”This person, that person, and the people who aren't here all have a family. And each of them provides a small piece of happiness. It's my job to protect that happiness. I hope that I am helping them, even if only a little bit.” She started to get melancholy and felt lonely since she didn't have anyone that she could depend upon, but suddenly she felt that her head was being patted.
”Haru?”
”You're a good woman, Kyouko. You've done well over the past few years and I am sure even if they don't notice your hard work, they're grateful for what you've done for them,” Haru said while patting Kyouko's head. He had to admit that this woman was very good and he also understood that she was very lonely since in the past two years all she had done was work on the Beauty Salon PRINCE to fight against the Penguins. She also even needed to take care of her father who was bedridden in the hospital because he was being traumatized by the Penguins' ”front-tail dance”.
Haru didn't see her complain nor annoyed which made her realize that Kyouko was a good woman.
”If someone marries you in the future, then I'm sure that person will be very happy.”
Kyouko blushed and didn't dare to look at him. Even though Haru was several years younger than her, she felt that he was very dependable and she could trust him. She became even more shy when he praised her for becoming a good wife. She looked at him shyly and asked, ”Haru, can I have a request?”
”Sure, as long as it is within my power then I'll try,” Haru said.
”Can you hug me like you usually do?” Kyouko asked. Haru often hugged her inside the Daimidaler to power-up and she loved the feeling of being hugged by him.
”Like this?”
Haru hugged Kyouko in his arms naturally.
Kyouko who was being hugged was a bit surprised, but then she felt very comfortable. She also hugged him back and smelled his smell which calmed her down.
”How is it?”
”It's better.”
”How so?”
”There is no hard rod that touches my butt.”
”.......”
Haru twitched his lips and didn't say anything since it was his fault for not being able to hold his s.e.x.u.a.l drive.
”Haru.”
”Hmm?”
”Thank you for being the Daimidaler's pilot.”
”No, I should be the one who should be grateful since without you, I can't defeat the Penguins. You're an important existence for me, Kyouko,” Haru said, staring at the face of this beautiful woman.
”Haru....” Kyouko stared at Haru with a light blush on her cheeks.
Haru also stared at Kyouko.
Both of them stared at each other and they were about to move closer before....
*Beep!* *Beep!*
”Sonan! Kasugano! Hurry up and return to headquarters! The Penguins have come to attack!”
”........”
Kyouko hurriedly looked away since she was very shy at that moment. She held her cheeks and felt hot since she didn't believe what she was about to do.
However, Haru was very annoyed. He was annoyed at the Penguins, but he was also annoyed at Kazuo, who suddenly disturbed their moment!
”Those damnable penguins!”
Haru held Kyouko's hand and said, ”Kyouko. Let's go.”
”Um! Let's go!”
Kyouko looked at the hand that held her hand, and hoped that their relationship could stay forever.
Kyouko also might be selfish, but she hoped that their relationship would be more than a mere work colleague...
