Seeing this scene from inside the Mochiyasha, feeling the heartbeat of the person beside you, it would surely be very romantic and perfect for two people who like each other to confess!
Yumemi had rehearsed the confession scene many times in her mind, giggling foolishly each time she thought about it. But she didn't know that Ayanokouji Kiyohira had already done something like that—and the object of his affection was Miharu Taki Sakura, who was sitting across from her.
At this moment, she was still enthusiastically discussing with Hanatemari Tsuzura, talking about going to Yomiuri Land with her and Togakushi Yukimi sometime.
"Ayanokoji, you should come too!" Pretending to be casual, Yumemi invited Ayanokoji: "The Amusement Park only has a light show at night, and it's not very safe if it's just us girls. You should come along too!"
"Sure, I'd like to go again." Ayanokouji Kiyohira glanced at Miharu Taki Sakura and nodded with a smile.
Yumemi really likes Ayanokoji… Miharu Taki Sakura took in Yumemi's joyful expression after Ayanokoji agreed.
She could tell that Yumemi's invitation for Ayanokoji to go to Yomiuri Land this time was definitely not just for fun, but with the intention of confessing.
She probably wanted to confess to Ayanokoji at the highest point of the Mochiyasha.
How enviable. She can pursue the person she likes without any reservations.
Miharu Taki Sakura felt a hint of loss alongside her envy.
Her emotional intelligence wasn't low, and during her time with Ayanokoji, she could naturally see that Ayanokouji Kiyohira liked her.
He always helped her without expecting anything in return, preferring to lose eighty million rather than gamble with her, and always showing a "pure" smile whenever he received her gratitude and praise.
To help her relax, he even took her to the Amusement Park under the guise of letting her taste wine…
During their time on the Mochiyasha, was he also thinking of confessing to her?
If… he had confessed then, would she have accepted him?
Once this thought appeared, it couldn't be stopped.
She began to compare Mibusakaomi Aoi and Ayanokouji Kiyohira in her mind.
In terms of looks, Mibusakaomi Aoi was handsome, and Ayanokouji Kiyohira's appearance was not bad either; just based on looks, he could at least rank in the top ten at Private Hyakkaou Academy.
In terms of family background, Ayanokouji Kiyohira was the son of Ayanokouji Tomitsuna, a former prime minister candidate, a true scion of a powerful family, not much different from Mibusakaomi Aoi's established family.
Her memories with Mibusakaomi Aoi consisted only of him, with a gentle smile, asking her to do things for him.
Although he said "asking," it was actually a command; she had little room to refuse. Because of Mibusakaomi Aoi's tasks, her workload had increased by an unknown amount.
Ayanokoji, however, would amuse her, make her cocktails, hold her hand as they strolled through the cherry blossom forest, and stand beside her to watch the brilliant fireworks…
More importantly, Ayanokoji greatly respected her opinions. She felt very relaxed when she was with Ayanokouji Kiyohira, completely without any sense of restraint.
If family background and appearance were hard to distinguish, then in terms of her impression of the two… Ayanokouji Kiyohira was the clear winner.
Comparison reveals disparity. If she had to choose one person as a marriage partner between the two, she would undoubtedly choose Ayanokouji Kiyohira.
She also really liked being with Ayanokouji Kiyohira.
However, this could only be a thought.
She had an "engagement" on her—a bond imposed by her family—she had no choice from the very beginning.
