Chapter 842 You Are The Secret Which Blooms In My Heart Part 9

TOH

Nagawa Mira is a huge issue. He has yet to hear the full details of how she got like this. But if she is able to use such a deadly poison without Lucifer being aware, then the threat to Sumire's life has increased. Why does the Nagawa family hate Sumire so much? From what he has learned from Lucifer, Sumire actually helped the Nagawa family out. She was the reason they escaped from debt and probably the reason why Nagawa Mira kept her seat in the Black alice council.

Lucifer admitted that he intended to get rid of the woman since she no longer had a purpose. How her families riches were the only thing he needed from her.

'But then I learned about her grandson being the guy lurking around my future wife.'

That woman needs a warning. She owes her current place to Sumire. She ought to be dammed grateful, not attacking her like this.

"Mas.h.i.+ma?" Kiragi Asuka was still looking at him, and Toh quickly took out a small notebook, scribbled something down and tore the page. "I'll get these immediately. For now could you-"

Toh nodded and turned his attention back to the girl in his arms. He scanned his surroundings. It's too chaotic out here, and she probably won't appreciate being seen in this state. He carefully carried her to his car and placed her on the back seat.

"I have a bit of the antidote in my body already." Toh explained to Hamano who had followed them. "We all have immunity to his poisons, but we occasionally take a fresh batch every few days just in case."

This timing is truly perfect. He just took one less than two days ago, meaning it should still be lingering in his body.

"But I'll have to transfer it to her mouth to mouth." Toh looked at Hamano warily.

Hamano Atus.h.i.+ and Sumire are the same age, but legally Hamano has been made as one of Sumire's guardians.

Hamano frowned but hearing Sumire cough and mumble 'it hurts,' He quickly nodded. "Do it."

Toh sighed in relief. He doesn't want to wait until Kiragi returned, even if that base is close by. He removed his s.h.i.+rt, and tossed any jewellery he had on him to the ground. During this process he felt Sumire's gaze on him, watching him through her distorted vision.

He would have made a joke about this situation but Hamano's presence stopped him. Now isn't the time to be making flirtatious remarks. He raised his hand towards the large ribbon at the front of her dress, that held her cloak around her shoulders before tearing it and tossing it to the ground.

Normally he would have savoured tearing away the girls clothing, but today he was in a rush. This was a life and death situation, if he doesn't act quickly. Her life will be at risk. He tore the several black ribbons that went straight to her neck and pulled the neckline of her dress, revealing the infected area on her neck.

At a glance it simply looked like a small needle mark. But her flesh was discoloured, and Toh sensed the darkness growing.

Sweet. Sumire tasted so sweet. This isn't the first time he has tasted her but it certainly has been a while. An entire year and a half since he last had her like this, since he lasted tasted her in his mouth. Those brief kisses he has given her since he returned don't count. This is different.

Toh was desperately holding back his desire. Those brief kisses were fine. He could control himself to a certain extent? But this? Kissing, no exchanging fluids. Having his tongue sucking her soft skin?

At first he could hold back his desire enough even to fool Hamano who said he would go back outside and give a few instructions. It seems like another member of Akagumi was with Sumire, and that person s.h.i.+elded her.

Holding back desire isn't easy but as a psychologist he has trained himself for many situations. Situations that would break a normal man's self control. But, this is different. Sumire isn't just a normal girl. It didn't help that Sumire was making the cutest noises.

'I am only giving her the antidote and those sounds are because she doesn't understand what is happening.' Toh kept repeating those words in his head. It was taking all his will not to rip her clothes off and ravish her pretty body.

Toh moved his lips away from her neck, and paused before capturing her lips. It was then when he realized his control was slipping, he had to curl his tongue teasingly against hers. He noted the clumsy and shy way Sumire was moving her mouth. He knew she was very confused.

But he had no time to explain it to her, so he mumbled a gentle command to suck and follow his movement. The antidote will transfer better if they cooperate.

ATUs.h.i.+

"Sumire pulled out the needles," Sora informed him and Atus.h.i.+ fought hard to not slap a hand to his forehead in exasperation.

Hadn't he warned her not to do that if she got hit?!

'Then again, why does it surprise me so much?' She has never listened to him.

"Hamano-san, I think she might have been panicking about Yoru and pulled those needles of herself; she was so terrified." Sora explained.

Atus.h.i.+ could only sigh and patted Sora's shoulder. "Good work, I'm thankful you got out unscathed."

"I wouldn't say that." Sora trailed off and pointed to the cut on his cheek. "However, I did get off rather lightly since.."

Sora struggled to say the next words and Atus.h.i.+ immediately understood. Sumire must have s.h.i.+elded Sora, and Yoru s.h.i.+elded Sumire who was s.h.i.+elding Sora. No, Yoru was protecting them both. Atus.h.i.+ could see the scattered pieces of a broken skateboard.

"You should come over and thank her when she gets better."

At those words, Sora frowned. "That better not be an excuse to drag me to that awful place."

Atus.h.i.+ chuckled. "I'll make you your favourite drink, on the house."

"Since your treating, I'll think about it." Sora turned to walk away but paused. He tossed something into the air and Atus.h.i.+ catches it. "Use that as evidence against the culprit."

Before Atus.h.i.+ could react Sora was already walking off. He looked at the item in his hands.

It was a woman's purse and there was an ID card inside. Catching a glimpse of the woman in the photo and the Nagawa surname. He exhaled deeply. Sumire is right, pus.h.i.+ng away Nagawa Sano would be stupid. When they can easily use him against his family.
