Eternal Melody

651 I received permission

Now that he thought about it, didn't Sumire mention about Nagawa's increasing strength?

'The creation of the evolved human project.' It was one of the cases that Mamoru left behind with Shin. According to the investigation results, the black Alice organization is experimenting on humans with particular characteristics. These unique people are the main targets for that experiment to create evolved humans.

When he first read the details, Yuhi felt sick. Removing brains and organs from dead evolved humans and placing them in another person's body.

Those people are truly inhumane. A dead body is sacred; how could anybody think to cut it open? It's different from organ donors; those people gave their consent. But the dead evolved humans have had no say. It's more likely that they died as a result of being killed too.

Nagawa Sano's strange behavior, is it possible that he is being experimented on? If so, it would be dangerous to leave him alone with Sumire.

The moment he entered the room, Sumire turned to him.

"Do-Don't misunderstand Yuhi-san! I tricked Sano into thinking we did something. But it's not like that." Sumire hurriedly explained.

"He seems very convinced."

"It was something Eli told me to do-but really nothing happened. The children inside me belong to you, stupid."

'Something Eli told her to do?' Yuhi sighed. That scientist is also crazy. Not that he would ever suspect Sumire of being unfaithful. It's true she has a record of sleeping with guys when she is lonely. But the one who caused that loneliness is him, so he has no right to judge her.

It's his fault; he should have just snatched her away then.

Yuhi walked over and kissed her. "Stupid?"

"Ah."

Seeing her shy over the brief kiss, Yuhi had to control his thoughts. Why does she do this to him recently? Why does she keep making those expressions?

Yuhi rubbed the back of his neck and coughed. "Well, it's a relief. But, maybe you should say something to him. I don't want him thinking it's his child."

"I understand. I'll sort it."

He grabbed hold of her hands. "If it's difficult, let me know. I'll do anything for you."

Sumire laughed softly. "You're spoiling me again." She brushed their foreheads together. "I am alright, Yuhi."

"Are you? You're pregnant--"

"I am very happy. It's your child, and there are two."

"Sumire.'

Sumire laughed again. "I think we can work on making some more, though. You wanted to fill our future marriage home with laughter, right?"

A child with the girl he loves, he never knew thought that one day this would be possible.

Yuhi hugged her tightly. "I'm happy."

"Mmm, me too. Ah, should we start coming up with names?"

"We don't even know the gender yet."

"I hope they are both boys. I want to see a boy that looks exactly like you. Ah, I want one to have your pretty black hair."

'When I asked her why she fell for you. She told me superficial reasons but then admitted something else.'

What was it that Hino said?

'I thought the color of his hair and eyes was beautiful. A pretty black. I thought it was the colour of the night sky. His hair seemed to shine due to the stage lights. It looked like there were stars in his hair. His skin glistened in the dusk, and those deep brown eyes filled with life and hope.'

At first, when he heard it, he didn't know what to think.

Yuhi recalled the words she said regarding herself just now and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Yuhi-san?"

"So, I think I received permission. I can do what I want to your body?"

Sumire laughed nervously and shyly covered her mouth with her sleeve. "Mm, you can, but since I'm pregnant, you should probably hold back."

Yuhi sighed. "Even though you gave me permission."

"It's okay; you can wait. I'm not going anywhere."

Sometimes whenever she says that he gets a bad feeling that something will happen. She had already disappeared from him once and did it without hesitating.

Even now, he recalls those painful nights he had to spend without her.

"Hey, do we have to return to school?"

"No, my nausea is bad. I planned to drag you to the infirmary with me." Sumire paused and smiled as she grabbed hold of his hand. "Shall we go home, Yuhi?"

Why does she smile so brightly even after experiencing so many grievances?

__________

At his apartment.

Yuhi had just finished taking a shower when he returned to the room to see Sumire wasn't there. She didn't go out, did she? Just as he thought, he heard singing, followed by a lovely aroma. He made his way downstairs and found Sumire in the kitchen cooking as she sang.

"Again today, I try to hide my heart

But I've started to run again

Maybe this love has already started

Please tell me today

That you're the only one

To hold my hands."

Please tell me today

That your eyes that look at me

Are only filled with me

I'm riding the breeze to lean on you

I've stopped at your sweet scent

If you feel the same way

Please hold my hand." Sumire sang.

This song, isn't it the one he wrote for her that time he briefly came to visit her in Star town? That time she investigated that yankee school after somebody harmed Masaru. Masaru informed him that Sumire was going to do something stupid. Fearing that, he didn't hesitate to visit the town.

Although he arrived, the girl was already injured. He stayed by her side for five days. Those five days were like a dream to him.

He was happy, and yet he was sad too. She confessed that she loved him, but he still couldn't take her with him to Tokyo.

It seems like she remembers now. Yuhi appeared behind her. "You truly do remember everything."

At those words, Sumire almost dropped the spoon in her hands, but he caught it.

"Your acting so jumpy around me. I thought we agreed I won't jump on you because you're pregnant."

"But you're a beast, Yuhi-san; it's hard to believe you will control yourself."

"If it's about Christmas, you know you're the one who jumped at me."

He tried to stop her, insisting that it would be better if she relaxed instead. But she then said something crazy, 'Do you not want me anymore?' After she said such words, how could he possibly refuse her?
