2 Cold Blizzard At Night

Noticing that Tsukasa was about to leave, Sairyoku mustered his willpower to numb the pain in his body as he uttered, "Wai- wait!"

In response, Tsukasa coldly gaze at him with her usual cold facade as she spoke, "Don't try to talk."

"Your injuries aren't fatal, but they're serious."

"Don't thank me. Go to sleep and forget all about me."

Leaving those words, Tsukasa's back was all what Sairyoku could see until she was no longer present in his line of sight.

Furukawa Sairyoku wanted to get up but his body seemed to fail him. The pain in his body was quite excruciating.

'Am I… giving up?'

'Didn't I promise in my last life that I'll take any opportunity I can just to win Tsukasa's heart?!'

'Why? Why am I acting pathetic now!? So what if my body is injured! Move my fucking body!'

'Your future wife is about to leave! If you don't take this opportunity to confess your love for her, you won't have this opportunity in the future!'

'It's already your luck that you got to replace Nasa Yuzaki in his fateful encounter with Tsukasa. If you can't even use this damn opportunity, then you might as well become impotent!'

Talking and cursing himself in third person, Furukawa Sairyoku was frustrated and infuriated by his body's weakness!

'Remember, pain and suffering is only temporary, love is eternal!'

Inducing himself in self-hypnosis, Sairyoku did his best to trick his body into thinking that the pain was just an illusion.

'This is no time to pass out! This is only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture Tsukasa's heart!'

'I…'

'Must stand up and catch up to her!'

Regardless of the pain in his body, Sairyoku stood up much to the astonishment of the truck driver.

"Hold on, you are still injured! Lie down until the ambulance arrives."

However, despite the truck driver's concern, Sairyoku coldly responded, "Don't stop me. I know you want to be responsible for the accident and I appreciate that."

"However, if you stop me now and prevent me from meeting that girl, I'll make sure to sue you and make this accident a big deal. So please, don't stop me and I will not pursue any legal actions against you."

"You can leave now and pretend this never happened. As I said, I won't pursue any legal actions as long as you don't stop me from leaving here."

Hearing Sairyoku's threat, the truck driver no longer stopped him.

At least for the truck driver, he received Sairyoku's assurance that he wouldn't pursue any legal actions against the accident.

"Sigh, do whatever you want. Don't regret it, boy."

The truck driver no longer dissuaded Sairyoku but didn't leave the scene yet. After all, the truck driver called the ambulance so he still needed to explain to them that Sairyoku had left.

Seeing that the truck driver wasn't stubborn enough to stop him, Sairyoku nodded at him and left the scene.

…

The falling snow turned into a storm.

Under the cold blizzard, Sairyoku gritted his teeth and endured the cold hell.

It felt like his body was burdened by heavy weight. His body felt painful and the cold blizzard made it more strenuous for him to move his body.

Furukawa Sairyoku didn't know where Tsukasa had went.

The strong blizzard had covered her tracks.

However, that didn't stop him from finding her!

'If I can't find her, then it only means that I am not destined to be with her unlike the original protagonist of Tonikaku Kawaii.'

'But if I managed to find Tsukasa, I swear I'll make her the happiest girl on Earth!'

'I'll fulfill her dreams and make up for her 1400 years of solitude as she spends her marriage life with me!'

With those thoughts in mind that fueled his determination, Furukawa Sairyoku continued traversing the cold blizzard hell.

Soon enough, as if it was fate, Furukawa Sairyoku arrived at a bus stop where Tsukasa was staying inside to shelter herself from the cold blizzard.

'Found her!'

As soon as he saw her, Sairyoku regained energy as he walked towards the bus stop and opened the glass slide door.

After opening it, Sairyoku stepped inside and his gaze landed on Tsukasa, "Excuse me! Thanks for helping me back there! You saved my life!"

"My name is Furukawa Sairyoku! It means [Ability]!"

Tsukasa looked at Sairyoku with disbelief written on her face. "I don't believe it. How are you even standing? You're severely injured."

Sairyoku smiled at her, "Well, I wanted to thank you."

Tsukasa looked at Sairyoku's face before patting the empty space on the bench she was sitting on, "Okay… have a seat."

"Thank you!"

Since Tsukasa already gave him her permission, Sairyoku immediately sat beside her on the wooden bench.

"Take off that hoodie. It's soaked."

Sairyoku listened to Tsukasa as he took of his black hoodie, revealing his white undershirt that was slightly soaked with blood.

Tsukasa took out her handkerchief and used it to wipe the blood on Sairyoku's face. "Hmph…"

"Take care of yourself. You only get one life."

When Tsukasa extended her hand and started wiping the blood on his face, Sairyoku was enamored by her as he couldn't believe that he was in close proximity with Tsukasa.

'Tsukasa smells so good. It feels like I'm in heaven!'

Sairyoku wasn't a pervert, but even he had to admit that Tsukasa's scent was heavenly.

While Sairyoku was enamored by Tsukasa's scent, Tsukasa already finished wiping the blood on his face.

Tsukasa took off her shawl and wrapped it around Sairyoku's neck, "You've lost a lot of blood. You need to warm up."

The warmth and sweet fragrance from Tsukasa's shawl made Sairyoku feel light-headed as if he was about to pass out.

After all, who could blame him?

In his past life, Tsukasa was just a fictional character. But now, Tsukasa was as real as she could be.

'If this is a dream, it's a dream I don't want to wake up from.'

Having that thought in mind, Sairyoku concernedly asked Tsukasa, "Aren't you feeling cold without your shawl?"
