The Heroines Want to Confess

Chapter 451 451: Farewell

Time drifted along languidly, and soon it was August 16.

More than half of the summer vacation had already passed.

Early in the morning, inside Tokyo Airport.

A group from the student council gathered together, seeing off Shirogane Miyuki.

"Myuu-senpai… once you go to America, don't forget everyone," Ishigami Yuu wiped the slightly reddened corners of his eyes. This appearance made quite a few passersby feel moved as well.

"That's right. If you go to America and immediately forget your teammates or something, that would be going too far!" Fujiwara Chika crossed her arms and nodded as she spoke, looking as if she truly believed Shirogane Miyuki was capable of doing such a thing.

"I won't forget."

"But before this, you were always complaining that Tokyo isn't good—saying prices are too expensive, income isn't high enough, and that even your hourly part-time wages aren't enough to cover daily food expenses."

Shirogane Miyuki: "..."

As if America were any better. That place even worships freedom—people protest every single day, not to mention those things.

One has to know that America is a country that does not ban guns. If one day I'm walking down the street and get shot dead just because of my Asian face, what am I supposed to do then?

"When I become prime minister in the future and start handing out gold bars to everyone, we'll call you back," Fujiwara Chika tiptoed up, patted his shoulder, and said those bizarre words with a serious expression.

"Ehm… if possible, it'd be best not to," Shirogane Miyuki let out an awkward laugh. If Chika became prime minister, he would hide in America forever and never come back.

Ishigami Yuu, who had been a bit sad to begin with, after listening to Fujiwara Chika's long ramble, also felt a bit like laughing.

"Fujiwara-senpai, could you please shut up? We're seeing Myuu-senpai off."

"Has anyone seen Sakurai-san? Did he stand us up?"

Shinomiya Kaguya looked left and right, searching for the figure of a certain someone.

Where did Sakurai-kun run off to? Could it be that he went to Kyoto to play, had so much fun that he forgot the way back, and doesn't want to return anymore?

But then again… does Kyoto really have anything that could fascinate him that much?

Jeez, it's simply unimaginable.

What kind of depraved life would it take to satisfy him…?

Maybe only if he were tangled up in bed with no fewer than three women every single day would he be able to sink into it, right?

"Sakurai-senpai will come."

Iino Miko's voice was full of certainty.

"Saki-nii won't make everyone wait in vain, unlike some older brother," Shirogane Kei shot Shirogane Miyuki a look of disgust, then spoke with an awkward but caring tone: "Aniki, when you go to America, don't mess around, okay? I've heard there are lots of unclean women there. And don't go running around either, like those red-light districts…"

Shirogane Miyuki said irritably, "Your brother is going there to study! Not to buy sex… Cough, Kei, where did you learn about that kind of stuff?"

"I'll be in high school next year already, why wouldn't I be allowed to know? Does Aniki still treat me like a little kid!" What Shirogane Kei couldn't stand the most was her brother's attitude—these past few years, he had always treated her as a child.

"I'm afraid you'll get tricked by scumbags…"

Shirogane Miyuki had only gotten halfway through his admonishment when he heard a familiar voice sound out—

"Am I late?"

Crap, he had just said scumbag, and the scumbag immediately appeared.

"No, Sakurai-senpai arrived right on time!" After saying that, Iino Miko dashed straight toward Sakurai Saki, immediately burrowing into his arms and taking several deep breaths in a row.

This action caused Fujiwara Chika's and Shinomiya Kaguya's eyelids to twitch repeatedly.

Inside Shinomiya Kaguya's heart, she was speechless: 'Relying on being young to do whatever she wants…'

'What is Miko-chan doing?' Fujiwara Chika blinked her eyes.

Her beloved Miko-chan was tightly hugging the man she cherished… a situation like this was really uncomfortable.

So Fujiwara Chika also scurried over to Sakurai Saki's side and hooked one of his arms.

"Welcome back!" She smiled brightly.

"I'm back."

For some reason, Shirogane Miyuki felt that at this moment, it didn't feel like they were seeing him off at all, but rather like they were welcoming this Sakurai Saki back instead.

Shirogane Miyuki's current mood wasn't bad either, so he didn't have any negative thoughts.

"There are only 10 minutes left before boarding ticket inspection starts, and you show up this close to the time—don't you think that's it a little bit late?"

"It's fine, isn't it? Because I am here."

"You really calculate everything down to the last second."

Shirogane Miyuki let out a helpless laugh, walked up to Sakurai Saki who had just escaped from someone's embrace, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry. If you miss your flight because you're waiting for me, you brother here would immediately charter a private jet to chase after you to America and see you off."

"Ha ha, it really feels like something you'd actually do," Shirogane Miyuki laughed.

Your expression is way too serious, Sakurai.

Um… could it be that you weren't joking?

"Ehem, after I go to America, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Kei. If anything happens to her, I'll be relying on you," Shirogane Miyuki said in a low voice.

Although he often joked about being afraid that Sakurai Saki would do some scumbag things to his younger sister, he also knew that, as a bro, this guy wouldn't take the initiative toward Kei.

"For half a year, I can handle it. After that, once we graduate from Shuchiin, we'll probably have to rely on Ishigami and the others."

"Umu."

The two of them simultaneously looked over at Ishigami Yuu beside them, recalling what he had been like a year ago, both revealing satisfied smiles.

"Got anything you want to say to me?"

"When the government starts handing out gold bars in the future, remember to come back."

"Hey, why are you using the same line as Secretary Fujiwara? I'm just going to study, yet you guys talk like I'm about to betray the country," Shirogane Miyuki covered his face, truly at a loss with these two.

Fujiwara Chika was unpredictable, and Sakurai Saki was also unpredictable. Even after studying together for three years, he still couldn't see through either of them.

Sakurai Saki looked at his utterly helpless face and said chokingly, "It's okay, I'll take good care of Kei. Don't keep it in your heart—just go with peace of mind!"

Shirogane Miyuki: "..."

I really want to punch you!

"What do you mean 'go with peace of mind'? I'm not dead yet!"

Letting out a sigh, Shirogane Miyuki took out his phone and glanced at the time. "It's almost time to board. We've pretty much said all the goodbyes already, so I'll head off first."

"Umu. President Shirogane, goodbye. Remember to come back during the next winter vacation."

"Myuu-senpai, hic… goodbye."

Men don't shed tears easily; it's just that the moment of heartbreak hasn't arrived yet.

Ishigami Yuu wiped the moist corners of his eyes and waved goodbye.

"Bye bye, Shirogane-kun." Fujiwara Chika waved as well.

"Shirogane-senpai… even after you go to America, you have to work hard and get first place!"

"Aniki… after you get off the plane, don't forget to message," Kei reminded him.

After that, when Shirogane's figure disappeared from sight—

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Then—

Fujiwara Chika jumped up and shouted loudly, "We're going on an island trip tomorrow! Yay!!"

"Yay!!! Seven-day island trip!!" Iino Miko's small face was also filled with excitement.

These two instantly shattered the farewell atmosphere from just now—truly great villains.

"You're getting way too excited," Shinomiya Kaguya said helplessly.

Someone had just gotten on the plane, and you guys acting like this was really too much—no, super too much.

"The new swimsuit… I can finally wear it..." Kei muttered quietly.

When that stupid brother was still around, even wearing a swimsuit would get nagged at—so annoying.

Now he's already gone to America and can't control her anymore!

Listening to their exchanges, a huge question mark appeared over Ishigami Yuu's head: "?"

Give me back the emotion from earlier! You heartless women!

Luckily there's still Sakurai-senpai...

Huh?

Ishigami Yuu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a faintly hidden look of fatigue on Sakurai Saki's face.

He asked with concern, "Sakurai-senpai, did you not sleep well last night?"

"Umu, I didn't rest well. My waist hurts."

Sakurai Saki rubbed his waist. "Fighting four people alone—sure enough, it was still a bit too much."

Ishigami Yuu: "?"

What on earth did you do last night?

Held a debauched party or something?
