NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 65 – I, and Hoshino Ai Part 3
Edited by The Darkest Knight#4796
Shinomiya, huh— It was not a good thing.
Shinomiya Zaibatsu is one of the largest conglomerates in the city. The company owns around two hundred trillion yen and many banks, cars, and trains. But I know about them, not because of that alone. One of the things I know about them is that their daughter, Shinomiya Kaguya is one of the characters that are pretty famous among anime lovers, especially since her name itself is the title of the manga from the author who made Oshi No Ko itself, the manga Ai, me and Ruby are in.
This made me quite aware of the possible dangers of doing business with them. Well, especially when I remember what happened at the end of the manga, where many various people related to Shinomiya were arrested for corruption and other things. This is inevitable as their power within the country stretches quite far, from the court system and police force all the way to the Shuchi'in Academy itself, with one of them serving as the Chairman of the Board for the school. They also seem to have a significant presence internationally, where they have been described as similar to the mafia in places such as France.
Especially Kaguya's three older brothers, the thing I remember most is that the eldest of them was the one who made the company managed by the main character in the manga go bankrupt just because he was unhappy with what the protagonist's father did. And the eldest son deliberately destroyed the company. This shows how bad and petty the eldest son really is, who actually can't match the charisma of the head of the Shinomiya family, who is also Kaguya's father. And the reason Shinomiya Zaibatsu declined in the future, but for now— they were still a big company with a significant influence in many areas.
In other words, I think doing business by their side will be fine. However, right now, you could say that I'm trying to take away their talents, and although I don't think losing both of them will change anything for the Shinomiya family. However, we also have the possibility of discovering one of the company's dark secrets. However, it is highly unlikely that Jimina's House Production will actually get involved with the main family.
Ah, even though I say that I know their secrets. I have no actual proof, and all I know is something supernatural. Although, there are rumors about it happening there. Ultimately, it's just a rumor I don't think can be proven.
Also, I think if we try something, even if it's small. It's still something that causes trouble for the Shinomiya Family, and depending on who is related to Jimana will suffer the consequences. Honestly, if it's related to the eldest child, then it could be a big problem for us.
Honestly, my family's connections and wealth are nothing compared to Shinomiya at the moment, as they are still big, and I don't think they have declined that much either at this point. I don't think it's a good thing to make enemies with them. But at the same time, I didn't think I could let this problem go.
Especially even though it's been a week since that day and from all the spirits I've seen. Only the spirits in Jimina's place always come to haunt me in my dreams. The cries, the screams of anguish, and the curses they uttered were sometimes heard and carried over into my dreams, something that happened quite often.
I don't want to say it, but there might be a reason why my strength was awakened when I saw the spirits in that place. I don't know why, but it doesn't feel like a coincidence, and it feels like fate. A place where I could see a character I knew from my past life, and that character had the same pupils as Ai. And the worst thing is that the person is in the hands of someone most likely related to Hikaru; a person who is related to people with stars in their eyes.
Well, I think all of this seems to be related to each other intentionally, or in other words, there is a message and meaning in all of this. Therefore, for some reason, I felt that I should do something about the spirits.
"Well, I guess I should also think about what I will do with the spirits. But for now… what are you doing?" Once again, I barely stopped Ruby, who tried to kiss me and held her face close to mine.
"Hm? Of course, kissing you— You look like you're in deep thought. I think this is my chance!" Ruby said while still moving her head forward toward my face." And don't you think this happened because we both stopped kissing?"
"Huh, that's maybe true—" I couldn't be completely confident that what Ruby said was wrong because it was true even though I was used to the presence of spirits. In the end, I didn't expect spirits to be this strong and attack me like this. Although I didn't feel much of a difference, it was confirmed that my abilities became more stable when Ruby and I kissed. So there's a chance that kissing Ruby strengthened me, even if only a little. It's not a bad thing.
Yeah, it's not a bad thing, in the end, I did this to make myself strong, and I may save Ruby and Ai with this power. That's why nothing is wrong with kissing Ruby. Since this is in the end for both us too.
I slowly weakened my hand and put my hand down from Ruby's face. Ruby gave such a smug smile in satisfaction. "I understand what you may be thinking, Onii-chan. But this is for your benefit."
She kissed me again and I felt the warmth, and it was probably a few days since we both kissed. This time the warmth Ruby gave me was bigger than I imagined, so my body was even warmer, which made me think. Is this what happens when characters in manga and anime power up?
Honestly, it feels incredible.
"Huhuhu~ Onii-chan, even though you always say you don't want to. Your face looks cute, and you seem to enjoy my kisses." She said as she approached me closer than before slowly and smiled brightly. "Do you want more, Onii-chan?"
Honestly, after not kissing Ruby for a few days and feeling that kiss again. I can say that the comfort and pleasure I received was stronger than before. It's like after tasting a delicious and fresh fruit, then only drinking plain water for a few days before returning to taste the fresh and delicious fruit again— it gives a stronger impression than before.
Ah, even though I knew this was a mistake. Whatever excuses I think of and whatever Ruby says to normalize our actions. The things we're doing are abnormal, and I think only I can stop all of this.
Therefore, I can't be wrong here and stop this madness. I can't say and answer Ruby's questions the way she wants me to!
Because once we fall— we both might not be able to return.
I need to be strong but in the end…
"Yes, I want more…"
I want it, even though the feeling I got is not as strong as the first after a while and slowly decreased for each of our kisses.
It still feels fantastic.
Ah, I may have sinned but I don't think I care too much after about every kiss she gave me moving forward.
