Chapter 117 - Chapter 117 : Moonlit Festival: Bonds Beneath the Stars

Itomori, the Next Day

The moon and stars cast their pure light over the vibrant city of Itomori, unlike its usual state.

Itomori resembled a village more than a city, as most of its residents were elderly. Because of this, bedtime and shop closures were usually very early. But today was different, as a festival was about to take place, bringing the entire city to life.

Thus, the usually sleepy city was now bustling with energy. Many people were dressed in yukatas and kimonos, strolling through the city, all heading in the same direction—the festival.

At this moment, Akira was standing near Miyamizu Shrine, wearing a simple white kimono. The kimono was slightly open at the chest, and his hair was slicked back. He wore wooden sandals and had his hands tucked into the sleeves of his kimono as he gazed at the shimmering lake in the distance.

The previous night, he had dinner at Mitsuha's house and was welcomed to stay overnight—something Akira didn't mind, as Itomori had no hotels, and finding a place to stay would have been troublesome. Fortunately, Mitsuha's family warmly welcomed him and offered him the guest room.

After spending the night at Mitsuha's house, Akira didn't do much, as there were other people in the house. The next day, he wandered aimlessly around the city, waiting for the festival. He had planned to go on a date with Mitsuha at the festival.

And so, he was now wearing a kimono, waiting for Mitsuha to arrive so they could go on their date.

"I really don't understand women..." Akira muttered in some confusion, not understanding why he had to wait outside when the two of them were literally in the same house.

"Well, I doubt I'll ever understand the minds of women," Akira thought for a moment before giving up. Even if he understood the reason, it wouldn't help much, especially since he had something more important to focus on than trying to unravel the complexities of women's minds—"Stats..."

"..." Akira stared at the screen in front of him, showing no sign of surprise on his face. He felt his power had increased ridiculously after the fight against Nobunaga. It seemed that using the Aurora Pillar had stimulated all his abilities to evolve.

However, Akira knew that even if the Aurora Pillar had stimulated his abilities to evolve, it was impossible for them to develop to this extent without the system's help. Therefore, Akira was grateful to the system and intended to repay his debts in full.

While Akira was lost in his thoughts, he noticed someone walking toward him and easily recognized them—it was Mitsuha, with whom he had agreed to go on a date at the festival that night.

"..." Akira raised his head to see Mitsuha, who was wearing a blue women's kimono adorned with flower patterns. She also wore wooden sandals, and her beautiful black hair was tied into a ponytail, with a blue flower-shaped hairpin decorating the strands on the right side of her face.

Not only that, but she was also wearing some makeup and lip balm, giving her a touch of maturity and allure.

Although Mitsuha wasn't as stunningly beautiful as some of his other girls, she was naturally pretty—something the other girls around him lacked, as their beauty was almost goddess-like and unnatural.

"How do I look...?" Mitsuha asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Her beautiful face carried a hint of shyness, as she was also captivated by Akira's striking appearance.

"It suits you very well..." Akira smiled, offering sincere and brief praise. He didn't like to exaggerate, as it could make the compliment feel fake.

"Thank you. You also look very good in that kimono," Mitsuha nodded with a slight smile as she approached Akira and affectionately linked her arm with his, examining him with her bright, beautiful eyes.

Seeing Akira in the kimono, Mitsuha's eyes couldn't help but shine. Although she knew Akira was extremely handsome in his school uniform or casual clothes, now it seemed he looked good in anything he wore, which made her incredibly proud of her man.

Akira was perfect in many ways—he was intelligent, handsome, strong, and incredibly wealthy. His only flaw was that he had many women, something Mitsuha had no choice but to reluctantly accept, as polygamy was universally allowed due to the imbalance in the male-to-female ratio. Akira never forced his women to stay with him; they all loved him deeply and didn't mind sharing him with others, as they didn't want to see him upset or sad.

As for Mitsuha, who occasionally swapped bodies with Akira, she knew well that there were many possessive girls in Akira's harem, but they didn't mind sharing him with other girls because Akira loved and cared for them all—something that was clear to everyone.

"Shall we go...?" Akira smiled, intertwining his fingers with Mitsuha's. Their date had now begun.

"Mmm..." Mitsuha nodded shyly, interlacing her fingers with Akira's, and the two walked toward the festival, hand in hand.
