《Please... Wake Up (Ruikasa)》Chapter 10 - The confession
Advertisement
Tsukasa,
"How do you drink something so bitter?"
He handed me the espresso, without a second thought, I took a sip. It's as bad as they say, really bitter.
We walked out and entered SEKAI, the hues are dull as ever.
I realized something.
I drank the espresso in the same glass Rui drank in.
This is...
An indirect kiss?!
I can feel my face go warm, my heart racing, the same feeling I had on that day that I found my feeling for Rui.
Is this really it?
Should I say it?
What if he only thinks of me as a friend?
But I'm so sure that he did it intentionally, then I heard his soft giggles.
"A little bit... But I like it, because..."
The words are stuck in my throat, unable to escape.
"Because..."
Still unable to say it, my face is practically red.
"Because I love you."
I looked at Rui, his face is starting to get a bit red, he is shocked with this response.
Oh no.
I ruined it.
But instead of a negative emotion, I saw a smirk, as if he's wanting that response.
I wasn't expecting this response, it caught me off guard.
SEKAI's hues are slowly being restored
Suddenly, Rui grabbed my waist, we started at each other, my arms around his neck. Thank god Miku and Kaito aren't around, I don't want them to see it. We both lean in for a kiss.
It's one kiss, but it felt like forever, I don't want to break it. Once we broke the kiss, SEKAI's colors are all restored.
Miku and Kaito walked up to us, surprised to see Rui. After some conversations, we returned to the real world to tell everyone else the good news.

There is only self-interest and hers is to be done with the demon residing in her and finally be able to die. For that, she needs the freedom of a Witch Hunter and she is surprisingly good at being one. However, getting in the middle of a conflict that is as old as the world, is something she could do without. Then again, being hunted by the Spirit King and the Infernal Lords might be a good way to break the monotony of immortality. Cover art by Jun Rao. Thank you!

"IMPURITY DETECTED. FOR THE SAKE OF A PURE, HUMAN FUTURE, SUPPRESS IT NOW!" Veteran mercenary Kyle Licht is shot in the head and wakes up in an alternate Earth as an eighteen year old. History now speaks of a clandestine organisation dedicated to suppressing and researching anomalous, reality-impure entities—Impurities—and how they utterly failed at a critical moment. The veil of secrecy lies in shreds. Impurities exist unhindered across the world, in all their reality-distorting, disaster-causing, atrocious glory. Humanity is locked in a war of attrition against these monsters, seeking any measure that will let them see another day. So what's a mercenary turned youth to do? Put his new system interface to good use and begin dealing with those Impurities, of course! But what's this? Very Hard difficulty? Random 'gacha' elements for item and unit acquisition? An interface-mandated, mysterious Assistant lurking in the back of his head? Yeah, this job is looking to be a real bumpy ride...
