"Ugh... it"s hard to do this round," Lila complained.After getting changed, they ended up sat down on the beanie bag in front of the TV and playing games. He felt safe, content with her in his arms like this. Although he"s dropped by and visit her during practice. Kiryu understood full well that it wasn"t enough for him. He wants to be with her always, more and more. He wants to be with her.
Lila must have noticed something was wrong, since she called out to him, "Is something wrong, my Kiryu?"
"Mm. Nothing." he paused as his gaze landed on the TV, "If you catch that flying box at the side then it will lead you to a secret pa.s.sage."
"Eh really?!"
"Give it a go."
When the blue hair girl follows his instructions, the screen changes saying "Unlocked" and as he told her. A secret pa.s.sage showed up, the original game map on the side with the other route unlocked. "Wah, your right. So cool!"
She really seemed like a child and yet even he knows better than to let his guard down. Kiryu placed softly placing kissing her neck, "M—My Kiryu, um, it"s too early, and I thought you said you wouldn"t do anymore. " Lila stammered, cheeks fl.u.s.tered.
"We are. But, let me touch you. You can concentrate on your game."
"H—how am I supposed to when you keep touching me? " she trailed off and commented, "Really a dummy... Dummy." she repeated. Yet he felt the blue hair girl s.h.i.+ft over so she was now facing him, her arms wrapped around his neck.
"Right, I"m a dummy. But only when it comes for you. My Lila."
Lila placed her hand on the scar on his face as she traced it slowly before she moved to his lips. "Are you, not pus.h.i.+ng yourself too much? For my sake. "
"You heard already?"
"Ah huh, my Kiryu you don"t have to do so much for me. Especially when you"re in as much pain as I am. ...," he cuts her sentence short by placing his thumb on her lips.
"You know, if it"s for your sake I don"t mind if I get hurt or not. Besides, I"ve already come to terms with everything so you don"t have to worry so much." Kiryu explained. That"s right, he has already come to terms with everything.
Lila gently kissed his lips, "But Kiryu, I"ll worry..."

Training Camp, 10:45 am.
Kiryu was working on his new song when he felt someone"s gaze on him and found Lila peeking at him through the door.
"What"s the matter?"
"My Kiryu, I can"t sing this part well."
"The songs in Korean?"
Lila nodded, "Ah-huh..."
"Come over here." He puts the guitar down and Lila entered the room. Though he told her he would wait here for her, Kiryu didn"t think she would come back so soon.
"Where"s Karas.h.i.+ma?"
"He"s busy."
Kiryu understands from the girl"s tone and exhaled deeply. Why is Karas.h.i.+ma so stupid? The more he continues seeing other girls, the more Lila will think he isn"t sincere with his feelings. It"s the same for him. Lila is still cautious about Selia that"s why he hasn"t seen her since yesterday. He should plan for her to stop being his a.s.sistant. As he was thinking these things, he felt Lila lean against him to get a closer look at the notes he was making on the music.
.... He should probably tell her to stop doing that.
"Hmm, Kiryu, why are you changing this part?"
"This note is too low for you, changing it to a high note won"t work. So, I"m adjusting it to a mid-tone."
"I see!" Lila exclaimed as she leaned forward, he felt her b.r.e.a.s.t.s pressed against his arm. He paused.
"... My Lila, move away.."
Lila tilts her head in confusion, and Kiryu finally told her. The girls" cheek reddened, and she quickly pulled herself away from her. "I"m sorry— J—aehee told me I can make you happy this way, I didn"t know what she meant though..."
... Jaehee, that woman is one of Karas.h.i.+ma"s friends right?
"Well, not that it didn"t make me happy. But, it"s dangerous. You"re lucky I"m a gentleman... otherwise, I"d have attacked you.." Kiryu paused seeing Lila repeat the words gentleman before she replied.
"But Kiryu, you"re a pervert."
"Hey."
Lila isn"t convinced and continued, "You"re always bullying and teasing me... When we first dated, no before then. You"d always randomly kiss me and ask for my blood in random places..."
As she reminded him of the past, he murmured to himself, "Stupid." Past him, was way too impatient. He found that Lila was still staring at him intently.
"That was before we dated. I wanted to leave a mark and show others you were mine, so other guys wouldn"t touch you and I wanted you to realize that you shouldn"t get intimate with other guys too." Kiryu explained.
Now he explained it, he realized how petty he sounded.
Lila laughed.
"It"s not funny."
"Ahaa."
d.a.m.n it. "Hey, quit laughing."
She"s having too much fun. Two can play that game though, he gradually got closer and closer to her before he pushed her down on the ground.
Lila"s face was slowly turning red, to her ears. A sly smirk formed on his lips, as his cute wife tried to get words out, "Um...!" Lila stammered.
"You know this room is soundproof..." Kiryu murmured, against her ear.
"Do—don"t be— an idiot. I still have to practice." Lila was attempting to push him away, but Kiryu saw how she was looking at him up and down curiosity, cheeks reddening.
"Did you not get a proper look last night?"
Lila shyly nodded before she realized what he meant, the red on her cheeks was growing brighter, "E—even if I didn"t! I won"t look now.."
"Come, my wife. After tempting me, you"re telling me no? It will hurt my feelings." Kiryu tugged on the girls" clothing, only to realize something, "You"re still wearing my s.h.i.+rt."
"Because um, it"s comfortable and um.." Lila stammered.
It was cute how his little wife was trying to explain her reasoning to wear his s.h.i.+rt to practice. Not that he minded it. But, it"s obviously a guy"s s.h.i.+rt. Is that good for her image? He"s sure the other partic.i.p.ants noticed it. Kiryu pause realizing something.
"Not going to escape anymore, I see."
Lila shook her head, "Um, is this room soundproof?"
"Yep."
She shyly nodded, and he hums in approval. As he slowly lifted her s.h.i.+rt, "Kiryu, um just take it off..."
"Mmm, I feel enjoy teasing you for a while..." he smirked.
"Dummy!!!"
.

It was awkward being caught by Karas.h.i.+ma. Kiryu was thankful that nothing happened yet. Though at the same time he felt regretful. In the past, he would have continued with no care in the world., Lila didn"t notice until he said something. Karas.h.i.+ma sighed and asked to come inside to talk about something.
The moment they are all seated, Karas.h.i.+ma placed a contract in front of him.
"This?"
"The first round of the tournament is going abroad. I want to test something else while she is there." Haruka explained.
Abroad, Lila?
The girls" eyes lit up, Lila who was clinging to his arm was peering at the contract with interest. "It"s up to her."
"Kiryu, decide for me."
....Hey... Well, this must be why Karas.h.i.+ma met with them both at the same time. He must have understood what her response will be. Why would he stop her? After all, he doesn"t have to sneak around and see her if she"s going abroad too. But more than that he knows how important this is to her. His gaze softened, "I don"t mind, ready to fulfill your promise for our future?"
Lila"s cheeks redden at the word future but she laughed happily, "En, I"m ready !!!"
