Cote : I Just Want to Grant Your Wish!

After that, Kaoru Mitoma took a stroll around the deck and tried out most of the facilities.

These included high-end restaurants, a multi-functional sports hall, an arcade, a library and more.

It has to be said, this cruise ship truly lives up to its reputation as a luxury liner.

It's estimated to have a maximum capacity of around 2,000 passengers, but currently, only first-year students are on board.

Including school staff, there are probably fewer than 200 people.

Over the past two days, he occasionally ran into familiar students on his way around.

For example, in the library—though it's small and doesn't have many books—Hiyori Shiina would often appear.

She seemed to treat the library as her personal reading room, bringing her favorite books and staying there from morning till afternoon.

Sometimes, when she saw Kaoru Mitoma, she would happily greet him and ask if he wanted to read Agatha Christie detective novels.

Upon learning that it was the renowned detective Poirot, Kaoru Mitoma joined her in reading the book.

Due to his limited knowledge, Kaoru Mitoma often paused to discuss specific details with her, piecing together the truth of the case.

For some reason, Hiyori Shiina seemed even more excited than he was, often engaging in hours-long conversations with him about each case.

Although she would occasionally accidentally guess the identity of the culprit, Kaoru Mitoma didn't mind.

Back in the room, Masayoshi Hashimoto would drag him into playing cards.

At first, it was bridge, but somehow it inexplicably turned into a game of fishing and eventually, they switched to Old Maid.

It wasn't just Kaoru Mitoma who was playing, almost everyone gradually let their guard down, indicating that the school might be planning to let them off the hook.

In four more days, this trip would come to an end.

"Mitoma-kun, please come out and meet me at nine tonight" Honami Ichinose voice came clearly through the phone speaker, reaching Kaoru Mitoma ears.

"Isn't it already nine?" Kaoru Mitoma was momentarily stunned.

"So hurry up and come out" Honami Ichinose whispered "I've finally found a chance for us to meet alone. Please be a little more enthusiastic."

Unlike Kaoru Mitoma, Honami Ichinose was really popular, both in Class B and across the entire grade, often being sought out by others.

Since it was his girlfriend's request, Kaoru Mitoma left the library and followed her directions, arriving at the deck where everything was quiet.

The cruise ship's lights were brightly lit, illuminating the deck before him.

He could see faint shadows of students holding hands and strolling in the distance.

Looking up, he was greeted by a sky full of stars, The deep night was hazy with a thin layer of moonlight flowing over the sea.

No wonder such a night scene attracted couples.

Even Kaoru Mitoma felt the urge to take a photo.

At that moment, a small pale hand gently tapped his shoulder.

Kaoru Mitoma turned around to see Honami Ichinose standing gracefully behind him, her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward, her eyes filled with a smile as she looked at him.

"Hehe, the scenery is beautiful isn't it? I came out with Mako-chan and the others last night and took a lot of photos."

She was wearing a tracksuit, a simple jacket hugging her slender yet curvaceous figure.

Her big chest created an exaggerated silhouette, giving off a slightly sensual vibe.

Not only that, Honami Ichinose had tied her long hair into a high ponytail, which swayed slightly with her movements, exuding a lively energy.

"You're beautiful" Kaoru Mitoma said. "Sorry, I didn't prepare before coming out."

"It's a bit sneaky to compliment me now and I didn't really dress up either," Honami Ichinose found it amusing.

She wasn't wearing anything particularly fancy, nor did she have any accessories on.

"Maybe it's the first time I've seen you like this, but this hairstyle really suits you" Kaoru Mitoma explained.

Honami Ichinose was momentarily stunned, then awkwardly averted her gaze, murmuring.

"It's just for convenience later."

"Convenience?" Kaoru Mitoma didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Of course, we'll continue our date," Honami Ichinose said as a matter of fact.

"Although I don't have time during the day, I can find an excuse to come out at night and then we can secretly meet."

As she spoke, she asked another question.

"Do you prefer the cinema or the theater?"

"I went to the cinema yesterday, but there weren't any good movies."

"We've both been to the cinema. The theater has a program schedule and there are different performances every day. I'll send it to you later and you can see if you want to go together."

"Are there performances at night too?"

"I remember there's a song and dance show at eight o'clock."

Seeing that she seemed to have everything planned out, Kaoru Mitoma asked.

"What are we doing tonight?"

For some reason, Honami Ichinose suddenly lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red and whispered.

"There's a semi-indoor pool on the second-floor balcony where you can enjoy the night view."

Probably more than just enjoying the night view, right?

Seeing his silence, Honami Ichinose added with a hint of nervousness.

"I've been there with Mako-chan and the others. They can even simulate waves and it's really fun."

Kaoru Mitoma was silent for a moment. "Aren't you worried I might do something to you?"

Honami Ichinose was slightly taken aback and bit her lip.

"At worst, I'll close my eyes and pretend I can't see."

With that, Kaoru Mitoma leaned in close to her.

Under her slightly surprised gaze, their faces were almost touching.

She seemed to understand something and nervously closed her eyes.

However, all she felt was someone gently lifting her hair, followed by a warm breath unexpectedly brushing against her sensitive neck.

When Honami Ichinose opened her eyes in alarm, her waist was gently encircled by a large hand, pulling her body close to his chest.

Her ample bosom pressed against him.

Kaoru Mitoma leaned against her smooth fair neck, feeling her soft hair and the pleasant fragrance of her body.

He could sense her entire body tensing up, trembling all over.

Completely unprepared, the girl's pretty face flushed red, as pure and innocent as a startled rabbit, yet she tried her best to appear composed.

"Is this okay?" Kaoru Mitoma held her even closer, the soft and voluptuous body in his arms exuding a deep allure.

"Yes, because we're boyfriend and girlfriend" Honami Ichinose heartbeat grew increasingly intense, her expression dazed.

"Boyfriend and girlfriend for a semester?" Kaoru Mitoma asked again.

Honami Ichinose regained a bit of clarity and mustered her courage. Placing her hands on his shoulders, she whispered.

"Our relationship will only end when you become the person I want you to be."

"So, I'm holding onto a very sweet trap right now" Kaoru Mitoma whispered in her ear, causing the girl to shiver slightly.

"Don't you like it?" Honami Ichinose felt her cheeks burning, her entire body heating up.

Kaoru Mitoma suddenly let her go and she looked at him with confusion in her eyes.

"I do, but I should first taste how sweet the sugar coating on the cannonball is."

With that, Kaoru Mitoma smiled and took Honami Ichinose's small hand in his.

The girl remained silent, her little heart still racing from the moment before.

"By the way, I don't have swimming trunks."

"..."
