I (30), Who Works for a Black Company and Died While Regretting My Gloomy Life, Started Over From High School!

Chapter 166: You can touch me anytime, you know?

(TLN: Lewd.)

I Thank you very much for giving me a ride.

Hmph. Hurry up and go. Dont keep Haruka waiting.

Upon reaching our destination, Tokimune-san dropped me off and promptly left.

Considering his level of adoration for his daughter, he must be quite emotionally stirred about her going on a date. However, Id like to think that the reason he doesnt show it is because he trusts me.

(But still this place)

I looked around and was filled with emotion. This seaside park, located far from the city center, was none other than the place Haruka and I visited in the future.

Our target this time wasnt the park itself, but rather the large aquarium within the park. It was a choice made by Haruka from the options I had researched. Visiting this place now, after having been here in the future, felt somewhat peculiar.

Ah! Over here, Shinichirou-kun! Right this way!

I turned towards the voice, and there stood an angel.

(Shes so cute!)

Though Ive seen Haruka in casual wear countless times, I was once again captivated by her loveliness.

The beige frilly blouse accentuated her pure aura, and the ribbon swaying at her chest was charming. The light blue skirt swayed gently, stirring a certain feeling within me.

The pale peach-colored shoulder bag she had slung over her arm, as well as the white pumps matching her outfit, all complemented her well. It was a glamorous and refined coordination, giving off a princess-like impression.

(This incredibly cute girl is my girlfriend now My girlfriend)

Hm? Whats wrong, Shinichiro-kun? You seem a bit absentminded.

Oh, no I was just surprised by how incredibly cute you look, Haruka

Eh?! G-Geez! Even though Im already excited today, please dont make my heart race any faster!

Haruka complained cutely while blushing. It was truly beyond words, and an odd groan escaped me unintentionally.

But it was quite early, Haruka. We still have about twenty minutes until our agreed meeting time

Well its my first time having a date appointment, so I thought maybe I should come early and wait while thinking about you, Shinichirou-kun

Pffft!

Haruka said something so incredibly cute while blushing and laughing. The destructive power was so overwhelming that I unintentionally let out a strange sound.

Its my first time, so there might be times when Im not very good at it But please, take care of me today!

Uh, yeah! Its my first time too, so lets take care of each other

Like middle schoolers in a couple, we were red-faced and nervous, facing the situation of our first date.

Even though weve been to each others houses, it might sound strange, but spending a holiday together, confirming each others feelings, felt special.

Well then shall we go?

Yes! Lets go, Shinichirou-kun!

And so, the two of us walked hand in hand.

This marked the start of an important day in our new relationship.

Wow! Look, Shinichiro-kun! These little fish are so colorful!

Haruka joyfully expressed her delight at the small tropical fish in the tank.

(Im glad it seems like shes enjoying herself.)

This aquarium, being a popular date spot, had quite elaborate and well-thought-out exhibits. While it was a spot where many people could enjoy themselves, Harukas excitement was beyond my expectations.

Oh, there are penguins too Well, thats to be expected from marine creatures, I guess.

Yes, thats right! Look, theyre waddling around, and its so cute!

The penguins were indeed adorable, but it was Haruka, glued to the glass with both hands, her excitement palpable, that was overwhelmingly cute.

We had already seen many creatures inside, but each time, she would sparkle with excitement and be engrossed. Witnessing this, my heart couldnt help but warm up.

Ah, this place has a room with a panoramic view, apparently. Shall we go?

Yes, lets go! There are still so many places we havent seen!

Haruka responded happily to my suggestion. Every time that innocent and radiant smile was directed at me, my own smile naturally deepened.

Um, by the way, Shinichirou-kun You didnt happen to meet with my father this morning, did you? When I mentioned our date, he joked, Should I come pick you up? I have some things I want to talk about anyway.'

Ah, I did meet him. In fact, he came to pick me up at my house in his car and even drove me to this place.

Eh, wha? R-Really? D-Did he say anything rude or?

It seemed like Haruka didnt know, and she was quite surprised. Well, considering the idea of that man, whos so protective of his daughter, going to pick up her date must have sounded like a joke

No, not at all. If anything, he seemed to accept me and even gave his approval for Haruka and me to be together.

Is is that so? When I told him about us dating, he fainted from shock, and when he woke up, he cried for hours. So, its a bit hard to believe

I heard about it from Natsuzaki-san, but it was even more turbulent than I imagined. He seemed relatively calm in the car, but that was probably after a considerable mental struggle

But if thats the case, Im really happy If he hadnt approved of the person I love, I might have ended up having a big fight with him, even if hes my father.

Haruka naturally referred to me as the person she loves, and I was flustered. Her pure affection, expressed so openly, deeply touched my heart.

Alright, is this the room? Oh, this is

Wow! This is amazing!

As we climbed a short flight of stairs, we found the 360-degree view room we were looking for. What surprised me first was that everything in sight was covered in blue water and colorful fish.

The central part of the dome-shaped, large tank seemed to be designed for people to enter, creating the illusion of being underwater.

The space for humans was about the size of a small elevator, but fortunately, there didnt seem to be any other guests. It looked like we could enjoy it alone.

Its beautiful In the dim light, with only the tanks lit up, it somehow reminds me of a planetarium during a school festival.

Ah, for me, its a memory Ill never forget. It was just as fun as it is now

Although the viewing area was only large enough for about four or five people, luckily, there were no other customers, so we were alone.

Yes, for me too. But the feeling is a bit different from the exhilaration I felt back then I just cant stop feeling so happy.

While we looked up at the ceiling of the tank, where many fish swam gracefully, Haruka spoke.

When I go out like this with you, Shinichirou-kun I feel so strongly that Ive become the girlfriend of the person I love the most, and my heart just feels all warm and fluffy.

I was told this with a voice filled with joy, and at this point, I felt like I might explode from sheer happiness.

That a day like this would come, where Haruka would say such things to me

So, um I sometimes feel like I want to touch you like this

Oh!

Suddenly, I felt a warmth against my back. Haruka was clinging to me from behind, touching her forehead to my backit took me a few seconds to understand.

Ha-Haruka

W-Well Since this is my first time being in a relationship, I didnt know until now, but maybe my feelings are deeper than an ordinary persons

Even the naturally carefree Haruka seemed to feel a little embarrassed about this action, and her voice was slightly higher.

But when my feelings get this intense, I find myself wanting to touch you, Shinichiro-kun S-Sorry, its a bit indecent, isnt it?

N-No, I was a bit surprised, but Im really happy! If its okay with me, you can touch me anytime!

I-Is that so? If you say things like that, Ill end up being all clingy right away, you know? (TLN: Do it!)

(Well, thats only a win for me)

Just having Harukas body touching my back like this was already enveloping me in a feeling of supreme bliss. Her softness and warmth transmitted to me were too sensuous!

So, um, if you also want to touch me, Shinichiro-kun

In the room dimly lit with only the lights from the tank, Haruka spoke alluringly in a whisper from behind me.

Anytime, you can touch me, okay?

Uhh

I groaned in ecstasy from the voice so pure like an angel, yet devilishly tempting like a little demon.

Ah, really I feel like Ill never win against this innocent and radiant girl

(TLN) Almost there!
