Respawn

Chapter 23: Meet Again

Takahashi POV

I need to be courageous! I need to be brave and tell Tori how I feel. "Let me do it myself," I stated. I'm on my way to Tori. I still have time to make reservations. I still have time to come to a halt. I still have time not to go on. I still have the option of not confessing. I still have time to do those things, but here I am approaching her. Today is the day when I will find out what she has to say. Today is the day I will discover her true feelings towards me. Today is the day that everything between us will change. Today could be the day she refuses to accept me and rejects me. Today could be the day she becomes my one and only lover. "Tori," I said quietly. She's now staring at me. I took a deep breath and said, "I like you! I like you a lot! It's true that I adored you the moment I saw you. Back then, I didn't know it was love. I love you in a very unexplainable way. I admire you so much! I admire every inch of you and I think of you every hour, minute, and second of my day. Will you be my lover and the mother of my daughter? "

Did she get what I was saying? Was she able to hear it clearly? I'm not sure if she understood what I said. I'm not sure if she heard what I said. I look at her straight in the eyes, and I can tell she's surprised by my quick confession. What happens next to me is no longer important to me. I'm not sure what the future holds for the two of us, but here I am, ready to take happiness or rejection from her. She's still not responding to me and is simply sitting on the sand with some sea shells in her hands. Does this imply that she dislikes me? She remains dumbfounded and tries to turn her gaze away from me. I suppose this is a precursor to rejection.

"Takahashi," she said quietly. I believe she is about to say something, but she is still hesitant to share anything with me. "Are you sure, Tori?" I stated. I'm not sure if she'll reject me or accept me right now. "To be honest, I feel you are the most interesting person I have ever met. My sole mission in life, I believe, is to spend my entire life with you. I believe I exist solely to serve and be yours. I've spent my entire life looking for something I don't know, but now that I've found you, all I know is that you're the one I've been looking for. You're someone I'll need at the beginning and end of the day. From the start, I've been an admirer of yours. I liked you right away when we met. I accepted your confession, and you brightened my day. ", she said.

What I heard astounded me. Perhaps I misunderstood what she said. I can't believe she likes me as well. Did she say from the beginning that she liked me? I'm not sure how I'll react. Does the fact that she accepted my confession imply that we are now lovers? "Does this mean we're lovers now, Tori?" I inquired. I suppose I made a mistake by asking that question so soon after confessing to her. "Yes, we've become lovers," she admitted. My emotions are bursting at the seams with joy. We join hands and make a pledge to become the world's official lovers. Finally, in this world, I can have someone to call my own. I draw her in closer and we share our first kiss, which feels magical and unfathomable.

When I glance at my hologram, I see a new notification that says I now have a lover. We are now a married couple. We give each other a firm hug. This is, without a doubt, the happiest day of my life. I noticed Yuu and Saki were approaching us. I'm so eager to inform them that Tori and I are now committed, but I believe they overheard the entire confession. "Take a look, brother! I made a confession to Tori and she accepted it. We've become lovers! " I stated. He gives me a hug and a smile. "I am quite pleased and proud of you. You've grown into a mature man, "he stated. His loving hugs for me are palpable. I am extremely fortunate to have these individuals in my life. I look at Saki, who is speechless and stunned by what she has heard, and I hug her tightly.

"Saki, I now have a lover. Thank you so much for everything. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for being there when no one else was. Thank you for defending me. Thank you for fighting alongside me. Thank you for everything you've done and the sacrifices you've made. They're all greatly appreciated. Thank you for looking after me, but I can now look after myself. I've found someone who will take care of me now, so you won't have to worry about me. Thank you very much, Saki, "I stated. She remains speechless, perhaps because she is very proud that the clueless and stupid man that she knows has something and is beginning to learn new things about life. "You are most welcome, and I thank you," she said. She hugged me back, and it was the first time she'd ever hugged me.

"We are overjoyed that the two of you have finally become couple. We know you like each other, but you don't want to say it to each other. We wish you a long and happy partnership, "Yuu remarked. I'm glad they want Tori for me, and they all appear to be supportive and pleased with us. Saki is quiet, and Yuu maintains his gaze on her. "I'll just walk into our room since I think I need to check something," she explained. Yuu takes her hands in his, but she takes his hands away from him. I'm guessing they're having a miscommunication right now. "Are you having another quarrel with Saki? Is she all right? " I inquired. "She's fine. I believe she's just having a mood swing," he explained.

Yuu’s POV

"Your objectives are nothing more than a waste of time. Stop thinking about others and start thinking about yourself. You want to help others, but look at yourself. You look terrible today. Where are the people you want to help? They were uninterested in assisting you, "she said as she crossed her arms. I know it's sad that whenever I'm the one in need, or no matter how loudly I scream for help, no one comes to help me. Because I know how it feels like no one will be there to save me, I don't want others to go through what I've gone through. "Pay attention to yourself and take good care of yourself. There are people who genuinely care about you, and they are very concerned if you are hurt again, so please be cautious, "she stated. She is concerned when she perceives me.

"Thank you, Saki," I said, smiling at her. "You're welcome," she said as she averted her gaze. She appears to be shy about saying such things. "Let's just go out there and look for Takahashi," I suggested. She assisted me in standing, and I believe I can begin to walk more slowly now that my wounds on my thighs and legs have healed. When we went outside, we noticed Takahashi approaching Tori. He appeared to be about to confess. He can't confess to Tori right now because Saki will be hurt. What happens if Takahashi confesses? I want everyone to have a good day, and I want Saki to be happy as well. Saki will suffer as a result of their happiness. "Tori," he said. He took a little pause then continued speaking and said, "I like you! I like you a lot! It's true that I adored you the moment I saw you. Back then, I didn't know it was love. I love you in a very unexplainable way. I admire you so much! I admire every inch of you and I think of you every hour, minute, and second of my day. Will you be my lover and the mother of my daughter?”

Something has to be done. I'm going to interrupt them. To get Takahashi to stop confessing, I needed to create a situation. He can't admit it now that I know Saki will be devastated to see them. I don't want her to go through any hardships, especially now. Saki grabs my wrist as I prepare to walk and interrupt them. "Saki, let go of my hand, because if you don't, Takahashi will confess to Tori," I said. I try to take her hand away, but she merely tightens her grip. "Saki," I muttered as I looked at her. She doesn't appear to be happy, but she also doesn't appear to be angry. I can only see sorrow on her face. "Allow him to be happy if it makes him happy. Let them be if she can give him the world he wanted. If he's happy, I'm glad as well, "she remarked.

"Stop being a moron. We must put a stop to them so that you may have him. We can't let Tori have him, so hurry up and let go of my hand," I stated. I continued to try to remove her hand, but she wouldn't let go of my wrist. She's just staring at them, as if she wants to watch them. "Don't just keep an eye on them. Now is the time to act and confess to Takahashi. Don't just stand there and observe them, "I stated. Her eyes appeared to be on the verge of tears. She is simply silent as she waits for the two to reveal their true feelings. "Take a look at him," she said. "He's doing his best. It took a lot of courage for him to do it, and his legs are still trembling in fear. I don't want to ruin it. I wish I could cheer him even from afar, "she continued.

"Please don't act that way right now. Stop making decisions that you will come to regret. Allow me to interrupt them by letting go of my hand, "I stated. She turned to face me and said, "What will happen if you interrupt them? Takahashi will have missed out on a chance to be happy. Do you think I'll be happy with that? Seeing him happy with someone he genuinely cares about makes me happy as well. I want him to smile even if it isn't because of me. I don't want to be selfish, and I'm too old to be one. Please allow these young people to be happy together, "she stated. I guess I'm helpless to do anything else. If this is truly what she wants, I shouldn't force it. Takahashi is extremely fortunate to be admired by Saki.

We just stood and waited for Tori's response. Saki finally let go of my hand, and I no longer felt compelled to disturb them. Tori thoroughly loves Takahashi as well. Saki is in pain right now, and I'm sure she needs someone to talk to, and I hope I can be that person. "To be honest, I feel you are the most interesting person I have ever met. My sole mission in life, I believe, is to spend my entire life with you. I believe I exist solely to serve and be yours. I've spent my entire life looking for something I don't know, but now that I've found you, all I know is that you're the one I've been looking for. You're someone I'll need at the beginning and end of the day. From the start, I've been an admirer of yours. I liked you right away when we met. I accepted your confession, and you brightened my day.", she said.

I don't want to hear Tori and Takahashi say anything else. I take my gaze away from them and fix it on Saki. She's not looking at them, instead she's staring at the ground. I'm sure she's hurt by the fact that the guy she loves is now kissing one of her friends. "Takahashi is staring right at us. I suppose we should make contact with them, "she stated. We were walking to see Takahashi, who appeared to be very happy and proud. "Take a look, brother! I made a confession to Tori and she accepted it. We've become lovers! ", he stated. I gave him a hug and a smile. "I am quite pleased and proud of you. You've grown into a mature man, "I stated. He looks at Saki, and hugs her very tightly, but Saki remains speechless.

"Saki, I now have a lover. Thank you so much for everything. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for being there when no one else was. Thank you for defending me. Thank you for fighting alongside me. Thank you for everything you've done and the sacrifices you've made. They're all greatly appreciated. Thank you for looking after me, but I can now look after myself. I've found someone who will take care of me now, so you won't have to worry about me. Thank you very much, Saki, " he stated. She remained speechless for a few seconds. "You are most welcome, and I thank you," she said. She hugged him back, and it was the first time she'd ever hugged him. "We are overjoyed that the two of you have finally become couple. We know you like each other, but you don't want to say it to each other. We wish you a long and happy partnership, "I said to him. 

I can't take my gaze away from Saki. I can't ignore her right now, especially because I know she's not feeling well. "I'll just walk into our room since I think I need to check something," she explained. I take her hand in mine, but she pulls it away from me. "Are you having another quarrel with Saki? Is she all right? ", he inquired. "She's fine. I believe she's just having a mood swing, "he explained. He has no idea why she is behaving this way. He has no clue she is acting this way because of him. He had no idea how hurt she was as a result of him. "I'll introduce you to my daughter," he offered. Does he have a daughter? "You have a daughter, right? When did you get your daughter? "I inquired. I'm not aware of him having a daughter. "I just had a daughter named Lyka a few minutes ago," he explained. He had a daughter very quickly. "I swear to you, brother, you need to be careful. You can't just adopt someone you meet for the first time. You may be in danger simply because you have a random stranger as your daughter, "I stated. "Take a look at her. Come here, Lyka! "He stated. As he gestures for him to come near us, a familiar girl comes running. No way, this is the girl who was constantly on my mind. She's the girl who tried to help me earlier. She is the girl with whom I unintentionally fell in love. "His name is Yuu, and he is my brother. This is Lyka, and she is my daughter. " Takahashi explained. She had a surprised and grateful expression on her face. "You're the man I've been looking for. I told you to stay, but when I returned, you were gone. I'm glad you're safe and well now. "
