Chapter 51

I must try.

Hope burst forth in Miyano Shiho's eyes.

Summer, church.

"Student Suzuki is here. How is it, does it look good?" Matsumoto Sayuri asked with a smile.

"Teacher, you look so beautiful in your wedding dress."

"Where are Student Mouri and Student Kudo?"

"Student Mouri went out of town with her father, and Kudo... I haven't seen him for a long time either."

Sonoko answered while looking around.

"Who are you looking for?" Matsumoto Sayuri asked curiously.

"I'm not looking for anyone... By the way, I heard the groom's family invited a famous Onmyoji to attend the wedding. Does the teacher know who it is?"

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's the famous Onmyoji of Tokyo, Lord Akaso."

Speaking of Akaso Kaze, Matsumoto Sayuri's eyes also shone.

"I just saw him, he really is a great handsome guy, and a very, very powerful handsome guy. Unfortunately, I'm about to get married; if only I had known him sooner."

Matsumoto Sayuri looked regretful.

Sonoko quickly asked: "Is he here? Then I'll go take a look and come back to see you later."

"Hi, little girl, always so boy-crazy... Being young is so good."

Matsumoto Sayuri showed an envious expression.

"Mr. Akaso!"

In the banquet hall, Sonoko jumped excitedly in front of Akaso Kaze.

"Oh, Sonoko, what a coincidence."

Akaso Kaze greeted her with a smile.

"The bride is my junior high school teacher, so I came to attend her wedding. Mr. Akaso, were you invited by the groom?" Sonoko asked.

"To be precise, I was invited by the groom's father." Akaso Kaze answered with a smile.

Sonoko was overjoyed.

This is truly great; Ran isn't here, and it's just her and Akaso Kaze.

Must not miss this good opportunity.

"Mr. Akaso, have a drink, it's still hot."

A sexy woman came over with a bag, immediately causing Sonoko's hostility.

"Hello, little sister, my name is Takenaka Kazumi, I'm the bride's college classmate."

The woman introduced herself generously.

"I'm Suzuki Sonoko, I'm already 17, not little anymore."

Sonoko puffed out her small chest, unconvinced.

Takenaka Kazumi glanced at her chest and burst out laughing.

She puffed out her own chest and raised an eyebrow in a show of defiance.

"I, I'm clearly not little, it's just that my clothes don't show it..." Sonoko muttered angrily.

Akaso Kaze smiled without a word.

In the distance, the bride left the waiting room and walked toward the restroom.

"Excuse me, I need to step away for a moment."

Akaso Kaze said goodbye with great grace.

"Okay, Mr. Akaso, see you later."

Takenaka Kazumi blinked seductively.

Then she looked at Sonoko defiantly before swaying her waist and leaving.

Sonoko pouted and stomped her foot on the ground in anger.

She kept watching Akaso Kaze's back until he suddenly turned and entered the bride's waiting room.

"Huh? Why did Mr. Akaso go into the bride's room? What is he doing?"

Sonoko followed curiously.

Akaso Kaze was carefully checking the drinks on the table when a small head poked out from behind him.

"Mr. Akaso, what are you doing here?"

Akaso Kaze turned his head and immediately had black lines on his forehead.

"Why did you come in?"

"I came to see what you're doing!"

"I'm completing a commission."

"What commission?"

Facing Sonoko, the curious baby, Akaso Kaze could only tell her the details.

"You mean, the groom is going to poison the bride?"

"This, this is too cruel, let's call the police right away."

Sonoko was anxious and turned to leave.

"Don't be in such a hurry." Akaso Kaze quickly grabbed her.

This girl is impulsive, even more reckless than Ran.

"There's still hope for them, which is why Mr. Takasugi commissioned me."

"He hopes his son can let go of his hatred and live a happy life."

Akaso Kaze recounted the history between the bride and groom, and Sonoko was moved to tears.

"Mr. Akaso, you must help them."

"Aren't I helping them right now? You go out quickly, don't mess things up for me."

As he pulled Sonoko to the door, he heard footsteps outside, along with someone greeting the bride.

"Oh no, we're trapped in the room."

Akaso Kaze looked at Sonoko, feeling depressed.

If it weren't for her, he could have just used a space gate to get out.

Now, he could only find a place to hide.

Looking around the room, there was only a small closet for hanging clothes.

Akaso Kaze pulled Sonoko inside.

The door outside opened, and the sound of high heels approached step by step.

Akaso Kaze breathed a sigh of relief and shifted his body.

He immediately felt something was wrong.

He hadn't noticed at the time, but this closet was way too narrow.

It was so narrow that it could only just fit two people standing sideways.

Fortunately, Sonoko had her back to him, so it wasn't too awkward.

Slowly, a fragrant scent filled the air, and Sonoko's scent gradually permeated the narrow space.

Akaso Kaze lowered his head.

Through the light coming in from the door crack, he could clearly see Sonoko's small ears and neck.

They were already redder than red.

Even the skin exposed behind her collar was a flushed color.

[Ding, Sonoko has developed an affection for you, current affection level is 3 stars.]

Huh?

What did I do to make her develop an affection for me?

Akaso Kaze was wondering when footsteps sounded outside again.

Someone had walked into the room.

"Sayuri, you look so beautiful." It was the groom who came in.

Akaso Kaze's attention was immediately drawn away.

He used his Space Eye to look outside.

The newlyweds gazed at each other affectionately for a while.

And then...

Right outside the closet, at a distance of mere inches.

They actually embraced and started kissing.

Hey, isn't this too shameless for broad daylight?

Akaso Kaze was speechless.

Just as he was complaining in his heart, he suddenly felt Sonoko in front of him sway slightly.

Looking down, he saw Sonoko's eyes pressed against the door crack, staring intently at the scene outside.

Sonoko's little heart was thumping.

She was still an innocent little girl; although she usually looked boy-crazy and couldn't walk when she saw a handsome guy.

But in reality, she hadn't even held a boy's hand, let alone experienced such an impact.

Watching the two outside lost in passion, especially feeling the strong physique behind her.

And then thinking of Akaso Kaze's handsome face that made one want to get pregnant.

Her heart was surging, and her body was heating up.

Her legs were trembling, and it looked like she wouldn't be able to support her body, slowly falling backward.

Akaso Kaze quickly supported her.
