Chapter 690: Terrible man and terrible woman
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
As always, Seiji’s system remained forever silent.
‘Fine, I knew that wouldn’t be possible.’
Seiji was just casually thinking it. He didn’t have any hope whatsoever of actually being able to receive a discount.
Sigh… he really missed his cute and na?ve system that gave him a fifty percent discount on the [Bullet Ti] skill.
System: “You’re the cute and na?ve one!”
Seiji: “At that ti, you must have been worried that I would be instantly killed by sothing I couldn’t even see, which is why you voluntarily sold such a godly skill at half price, isn’t that right?”
System: “I… I wouldn’t worry about soone like you at all! Hmph!!”
Seiji: “That’s why I’m saying that you’re cute and na?ve, thank you very much.
System: “Get the hell out!!”
Of course, the above conversation was entirely imagined by Seiji.
Still, upon closer consideration, that was the only ti the system had ever given him a discount. Perhaps that really was the system’s way of thinking at the ti.
Seiji mulled it over but then decided to stop thinking about this subject. He continued practicing his cultivation.
Actually, earning points wasn’t that difficult for him. The issue was more about ti.
He was still grinding his [Actions] every day, and had a constant stream of points from his “Brother Monogatari” story and the artwork he uploaded to the internet… Seiji’s points inco was now several tis more than when he’d first started.
At his current rate, buying every room in the [Spirit House] and all the furniture would only be a matter of ti. However, real life danger wouldn’t wait for the hero to grind.
Seiji was now facing unknown dangers. He wanted to speedily increase his own and his friends’ strength. That was why he felt his points were so insufficient.
After dinner, Seiji worked on the second volu of “Brother Monogatari”. He was sowhat frustrated because his planning for the story wasn’t going well.
Seiji finished his tea which was on the table. He then picked up his teacup and walked to the living room for a refill.
Kaede and Reo were currently watching TV together in the living room.
The blonde-haired teacher noticed his arrival with his teacup. She smiled and poured so tea for him.
Seiji thanked her and sipped on his tea while he watched what was on television. However, his mind was still thinking about his novel’s plot.
“Not having success with your writing?” Kaede spoke up softly.
Seiji returned to his senses and looked at Kaede.
“A little trouble, yeah…”
“I don’t know anything about writing novels, but I can sense that you seem sowhat frustrated.” Kaede looked directly at him. “It’s probably better if you don’t rush so much.”
Frustrated? Seiji was surprised to hear this.
He calmly analyzed things and found that this was indeed the case.
He wanted to hurry and finish his novel as soon as possible, which made him unknowingly beco frustrated without realizing it.
“I didn’t even notice… thank you for reminding ,” Seiji responded with a smile.
Kaede looked directly at his handso face.
“Can I do anything for you, Seiji?”
“Eh?”
“I want to help share the burden because I can see how much pressure is on you… Anything is fine at all, as long as I’m capable of doing it.” Sothing flashed in the blonde teacher’s eyes.
“Thank you, but I’m alright.” Seiji smiled. “You’ve already done so much. Thank you for taking care of Reo so often for .”
As he said this, he glanced over at the little girl who was currently absorbed in her television show.
Reo would definitely feel uneasy due to hearing such strange sounds in her dreams. It was likely due to Kaede’s care and accompanint that she didn’t feel afraid.
“Taking care of Reo is sothing that I myself wanted to do… but can I count this as you owing a favor?” Kaede chuckled.
Seiji blinked upon hearing this.
“Of course. What favor would you like from ?”
“To go out on a date with .”
“Er…”
“Do you not like the idea?”
“How could that be, it’s just…”
“I don’t mind at all.” Kaede’s face flushed red as she revealed a seductive expression. “Sothing that Mika and Chiaki can accept is acceptable to as well.”
Her way of addressing Mika and Chiaki had changed unknowingly. Instead of calling them “Uehara-san” and “Wakaba-san”, she now addressed them by na directly.
Just like between Shika and Natsuya, Seiji surmised that sothing must have happened between Kaede, Mika, and Chiaki while he was unconscious.
He didn’t even know what type of expression he had on his face right now.
The television show reached a climax in its story, causing Reo to squeal in excitent.
Kaede’s left hand moved to squeeze Seiji’s right hand.
Seiji wanted to take his hand back. However, she wouldn’t let go.
The blonde beauty gazed deeply into his eyes, transmitting her love with her expression.
Seiji wanted to avert his gaze. However, he found himself unable to do so.
In his mind, he cursed himself for being a scumbag man as he sighed.
“You have better choices than , Kaede…”
“I think that the choice before is more than good enough already.”
“I’m not as good as you think I am…”
“You’re better than I think you are.”
“That’s not what I an…”
Seiji didn’t know how to express himself right now. “I’m a terrible person who can’t resist his own desires. I’m scummy to the point where I don’t even know how to describe myself.” Seiji sighed as he gently held her hand. “This is exactly what I an… a truly good man should adamantly refuse you at this point in ti.
“I like you, Kaede. But, my like for you probably can’t compare to what you feel for . My like for you is a typical scumbag man’s type of like. You deserve soone better… this isn’t an excuse for rejecting you. That’s what I truly think.”
After saying this, Seiji slowly let go and tried to use so force to withdraw his hand.
Yet, Kaede still held his hand tightly.
“You’ve finally admitted that you like .” Sothing flashed in Kaede’s eyes.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
“You call yourself a terrible man, but I know that I’m a terrible woman as well,” she whispered. “Even though I know I’m not good enough, I still stuck so close to you, followed you to where you live, and even got a job at your school just for you, injecting myself into your life…
“If a man dared to do such stalkerish activities to , I would definitely tell one of the goons in our Juumonji Group to kill him for .
“Yet, although you were bothered by a terrible woman like myself, you didn’t hate for it… Even though you rejected , you also expressed your thanks.”
‘Thank you for liking .’
This sentence of his had etched itself deep into her heart.
Before she heard this, Kaede Juumonji had only fallen in love with Seiji Haruta at first sight. But, her love transford into sothing more after such a gentle rejection.
From a certain standpoint, that was definitely a misused rejection. Not only did Seiji not achieve his goal, it even had the opposite effect from what he’d intended.
“Perhaps your behavior is sowhat lacking, but I wouldn’t say that you’re terrible or evil because of them,” Seiji told her.
That was what he truly believed.
“I could say the exact sa for you.” Kaede smiled gently at him.
That was what she truly believed.
The terrible man and terrible woman didn’t believe that the other was terrible at all.
Seiji wanted to say sothing else when an exciting scene appeared on the television show. Reo shouted in excitent and interrupted his thoughts.
He reflexively turned to look at Reo. When he turned back to Kaede, the blonde teacher suddenly went up and kissed his lips!
Seiji: “~~~~~~”
‘There’s an elentary school kid right next to us, Teacher!’
This sudden ambush of such a soft, warm, and luscious sensation caused his body to freeze over.
Kaede revealed an alluring smile after she successfully ambushed him.
“If you don’t promise to go out with on a date, I’ll do even more to you…” she threatened him while holding on to his hand tightly.
“Hey, you’re supposed to be a teacher.” Seiji smiled wryly.
“Right now, school’s out on vacation… But if you insist on viewing as a teacher, that’s fine as well. A teacher-student relationship… that seems really stimulating.” Kaede licked her lips, giving a devilish appearance to her beautiful face.
Although she always acted quite ladylike, she was still foundationally a “bad woman” as befitting soone with her family upbringing. She was just like her nickna at school described her.
‘Since you’ve already said out loud that you like soone like , I absolutely won’t be letting you go, Seiji.’ The blonde beauty thought that to herself as she enjoyed the sweet sensation she’d just experienced.
