Chapitre 32: Gifts to LinLin & Mikan, Will You be My Girlfriend?
I soon came back with a hand fan and some juice as I let the breeze cool her off as I put the juice on the table to her side.
In the meantime as I was cooling off Mikan I was sending gifts to LinLin, which would appear to her like the gifts that fly out of nowhere from Animal Crossing to her.
As I disconnected the timelines from my world and hers, I can appear at any point in her life and rapidly deliver gifts through the system to her as I changed the delivery system to the gift giving system so I would earn back more points on getting satisfactory gifts for people who desire them from me.
In her younger years it was toys like the one for her 6th birthday, the day she lost everyone in the orphanage and gained her devil fruit, she really wanted to see me, but since I couldn't come I gave her the second best thing was to send her a huge plushy based on me and an apology that it's very hard to travel between the moon and the planet and all I can do is send presents for the time being, and that I hoped that gift made up for me not being there.
It seems she loved it as I made back 100x the amount of points I went in to spend on it earning me a easy 100k points.
I would send what she most desired as a gift and sent it out to her, so long as I could afford it at the time, and most of the time was plushies in her younger years, then cute clothes, and into her teenage years was stylish clothes, make up and beauty products, and on her 17th birthday she asked for the Gigantification gun she saw me have when she was a kid, and so I gave it to her and my points skyrocketed as it was something she always desired as it seems the relationship between the giants and her is still not great as they think she killed Holy Mother Carmel, which is true but she doesn't remember doing that when she was in a feeding frenzy back then.
But a cost of 2.5mil to buy that now just earned me 250mil in return for giving her such a gift, though I did put in a warning that the effects where off in a day if the power of the gun isn't reapplied, it did tell me that warning when I bought it as first, though I used 100mil of that to buy the upgraded version of that gun that will let me become as big as a mountain, probably not as tall as say Mt, Everest but tall enough to be considered the largest being in the World of One Piece.
'Plus I can use it to make a cool entrance of a mountain sized person falling out from the clouds.' I smirk internally as I see Mikan is finally beginning to cool down.
"You okay? I'm sorry if I surprised you like that…. Maybe I came on too strong…." I say as I do think I may have jumped the gun a bit.
"Hmmm? Huh? Umm Uhh, what? No, nononono! I mean uhh… how do I…. Oooo I'm sorry I'm so sorry! I'm a nervous wreck!" She muttered about before she started shaking a bit scared and nervous as she couldn't believe the situation she found herself in.
"Hey, hey, hey, Mikan it's okay! Just take a deep breath and calm down alright?" I say as I grab her hand and try to calm her down but it made her even more nervous as a result but she listened to what I said and began to calm down and relax.
Soon enough she calmed down, but turned away and looked down from me, "…. Why?"
"? Why what?"
"Why…. Just why are you so nice to me…." She said in a self deprecating way.
"Mikan…. Do you not realize that without your help I wouldn't have been able to change myself and my life from who I was to who I am now?" I say letting go of her hand and just lightly poked at it as I could see her ears getting red from what I said.
"TeruTeru and Nekomaru did more than me you know! I barely did anything! I-I only helped set up your diet and keep track of your fat loss!" She cried out, denying she did anything to really change me.
"But you were there sometimes when I was exhausted and offered me a towel, you were there at times I thought about giving up but cheered me on to persevere to better myself, so don't say you didn't do anything for me Mikan." I was being very genuine with what I was saying and how she helped me all these months we have known each other.
"Uuuuu…. Is it really okay…."
"Okay for what?" I say as I see her turn back to me with teary eyes which stuns me a bit at the sight.
"Is it really okay…. To be like this? You…. You like me…. Right?…." She said as she rubbed her eyes as they were watering with tears.
But what I say next would determine if they were tears of joy, or tears of sadness.
I scratch the side of my head and nod, "Yeah, I like you Mikan." I decide to lay it out for her as she began to blush even more hearing that but she huddled up in a ball, using her legs to hide her face.
"I…. I-I…. Like you…. Too…. Hifumi…." She said shyly as she held herself closer to her legs not wanting to look me in the face as she is so embarrassed from what she said.
Hearing that I smile, though I knew already that she had feelings for me but it's nice to hear it from her personally, so I go and sit on the same beach chair as her and look at her.
"Mikan, I want to ask you something, but you need to look at me." I say as I see her peak out from between her legs to look at me, before slowly pulling back her face from her legs as her face was bright red but wasn't going to faint again.
"Mikan, Will you be my Girlfriend?" I say as I hold out my hand to her, this shakes her from hearing me say that.
"…. Do I really deserve to be happy?" She said as she remembers the harsh and terrible life that she lived up to just recently before she joined Hopes Peak Academy where she was finally away from her terrible friends and family who did horrible things to her to make her who she is today, a timid and scared girl who prefers being bullied than to being ignored and forever left alone.
"Mikan…. Everyone deserves happiness in their life, and now I want to give you some happiness you truly deserve for yourself where you need never feel alone, and for the first time in your life to feel loved by another person." I say with a truly sincere look in my eyes as I see a bit of my old self in her.
'A Monster like me doesn't deserve a normal life, I don't deserve happiness, the blood of innocent people will always stain my hands.' I always thought of myself in my old life from the dark past I once had, it's the reason why I never had qualms with killing others, I'm no saint as I have done things in my old life that would make a man like Kritsugu Emiya look on at me in disgust even though we weren't that much different.
But I have a new life and a new start, but I need to write that manga of mine to give Closure to my past and move on, but I won't hesitate to kill if it means I can protect the people I care about in this life.
Compared to the old me and the Mikan that I know from her story and her past, I don't deserve anything where as she deserves the happiness that she never got.
"..." She didn't say anything as she was considering my words deeply before she reached out and took my hand and then nodded shyly.
"If you'll have me…. Then yes I would be happy to be your girlfriend…. Even if I'm not the only one vying for your affection…. Even if other girls fall for you I won't mind just…. Put me in your heart first okay?" She says before she gets bold enough to leave her shell and go to lean on my shoulder.
Hearing that I smile before falling back in the chair and pulling her along with me as she blushed heavily but just stayed there with me as we intimately cuddled together.
'Let's just hope that what happened back then doesn't repeat, but with my luck with women I should prepare for the worst.' I think to myself as I enjoyed having Mikan in my embrace.
*****
So yes Crazy Crazy Love will be at some point my own personal work I make and it would be in a sense a original prequel to the Tale of Hifumi Yamada.
I wonder if people would be genuinely interested in reading that story of his, and if his death really was an accident?
