Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. So, he had been preparing it so early? Then why didn't he confess at that time?
"Cough, cough. Mainly, there were too many people at the time. That feeling of shame welling up from the depths of my heart made me hesitate at the crucial moment, so I never acted on it and kept putting it off until now."
Coughing awkwardly twice, Hoshino Sora's gaze drifted slightly as he recalled the situation at the BLUE finals.
At that time, because the joint cooking display by Erina Nakiri and Nagiri Mana had caused such a huge stir and attracted so much attention, he got a bit flustered, which was why he didn't propose.
"I didn't expect that someone who dared to say, 'You don't even have the right to be my stepping stone,' in front of the entire school would be afraid to propose to a woman in public.
Were you afraid of being rejected? Well, it is Erina, so anything she does wouldn't be surprising. If the proposal had been for me at that time, you wouldn't have had to worry about rejection."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but speak rapidly from the side. Watching the two of them kissing and hugging in front of her, an incredibly strange feeling arose in her heart.
"The one being proposed to right now is me, Alice, so don't interrupt anymore. No matter how unwilling you are, I am the first woman Hoshino-kun proposed to."
Her voice revealed a hint of triumph. No matter what, she was the first girl Hoshino Sora proposed to, and the pride and satisfaction in her heart were indescribable!
Although it was just in a secluded corner of a park, and all she received was a single bouquet of roses and a ring.
But Erina Nakiri didn't mind. For her, there was no better gift than fervent love. Her heartbeat at this moment couldn't lie; her love for Hoshino Sora had reached its peak!
Their gazes met, and Erina Nakiri saw the seriousness in the young man's eyes. Although it happened suddenly, he had indeed prepared it with care. Since that was the case, she would gladly accept his love!
"It's getting late. Let's go back first. The oysters we ate tonight are starting to take effect. To be honest, I ate a bit too much tonight."
He glanced at the current time, nine o'clock at night. He hadn't expected to fall asleep while out for a night breeze. It seemed he had been a bit too tired yesterday. Fortunately, he hadn't slept straight until the next day.
But if he really had slept until the next day, Erina and the others would probably have woken him up.
"I will definitely satisfy you tonight! Even if I have to use God Tongue!"
Hearing Hoshino Sora's last sentence, Erina Nakiri's gaze shifted slightly downward. Because of the intimate hug just now, the young man's body had undergone some changes.
Although Hoshino Sora was an out-and-out foot fetishist, that didn't mean he didn't like other things. Not only did he like them, but he even had a particular preference for them at certain times.
For example, when several girls combined, the soft, fluffy sensation made him feel like he was floating on clouds. The feeling of being surrounded was truly something ordinary people couldn't imagine!
He embraced Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri by their waists, one on each side. It wasn't out of favoritism; it was simply because they were right beside him, and putting his arms around their waists was purely a natural gesture.
The group of them headed towards Oriental Academy.
At this moment, Erina Nakiri was in a very good mood because she had just accepted the proposal. She looked refreshed and radiant, and she touched her ring every two or three minutes, even humming a song as she walked.
"Look how pleased you are. It's just a proposal, that's all."
Unable to stand Erina Nakiri's smugness, and more importantly, because she herself hadn't been confessed to, Alice Nakiri said sourly. She was truly envious. Why didn't something so good happen to her!
"Oh, my, I seem to be hearing a strong sour taste from someone's mouth. Oh, you haven't been confessed to by Hoshino-kun yet, have you? No wonder."
Hearing Alice Nakiri's words, and recalling all the things this girl said when Hoshino Sora was confessing, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but put on a contemptuous and smug expression.
"Ahhh! Hoshino-kun, say something!"
Looking at Erina Nakiri's expression, Alice Nakiri was indeed a bit broken. She had originally just wanted to watch the fun, but she ended up getting drawn into it herself. Confession, proposal, ahhh, she was so envious!
"I will definitely not disappoint you when the time comes. You can rest assured!"
Facing Alice Nakiri's unwillingness, Hoshino Sora smiled freely, reaching out his large hand to ruffle her small head. He understood that she didn't truly want him to propose right now; she just wanted to know his intentions.
"Oh, this ring is really beautiful. It shines brightly in the moonlight. The craftsman must have put a lot of effort into it."
Raising her hand to admire the ring in the moonlight, Erina Nakiri deliberately spoke loudly, making the envious Alice Nakiri's face contort, unable to calm down for a long time.
As a young lady from a prominent family, Erina Nakiri hadn't bought much jewelry, but having been exposed to it since childhood, the ring on her hand was clearly handcrafted by an artisan.
Although she didn't know who made it, looking at the exquisite craftsmanship and luxurious materials, she knew it had to be from a top master in the industry.
She wondered how Hoshino Sora found him and how much it cost to commission his work.
But never mind, those weren't her concerns. What she needed to do now was show off, show off to Alice Nakiri, and show off to the girls in the dormitory!
After all, she was the first woman Hoshino Sora had truly confessed to!
"You'll get yours tonight!"
