Chapter 88: Finally...
Jake also reached out and embraced Murano Satomi's slender waist.
The cold alley was silent and deserted; a man and a woman stood embracing, the cold wind blowing, lifting the girl's short, neat hair and the hem of the man's black suit.
The scene was heartwarming.
"Let's get you home," he patted Murano Satomi's back, "and then get some rest."
"Okay," Murano Satomi nodded, her tears, pressed against Jake's chest, already soaking his black suit.
The two separated from their embrace, their relationship growing even closer. At least Murano Satomi, though shy, no longer showed the surprise she had shown before.
Facing this suddenly unfamiliar world, she could only rely on Jake now.
However, when she saw the wet patch on his suit jacket, her face was filled with apology and embarrassment. "Jake-san… I…"
Her words suddenly caught in her throat.
Miraculously, liquid was continuously draining from the wet patch on his suit!
It was as if raindrops were hitting a waterproof umbrella on a rainy day, and all the tears dripped down the suit and onto the ground, yet the suit remained clean.
Amazing!
Murano Satomi's eyes shone with curiosity.
"It's nothing, just a special piece of equipment," Jake said casually, patting her shoulder.
Then the two turned and left, neither intending to call the police.
This kind of thing was still too astonishing, and Murano Satomi now only wanted to rely on Jake and subconsciously trusted him. As long as he hadn't made a decision, she wouldn't interfere.
"Jake-san, you're not an ordinary person, are you?" Walking alongside him on his right, Murano Satomi expressed her doubts.
"Mm,"
Seeing Jake only grunt and not respond, Murano Satomi couldn't help but ask, "Is it something you can't talk about?"
"It's nothing," Jake shook his head and said, "I'm part of an organization. Countless strange things have appeared in this world, and our organization's mission is to eliminate these monsters and protect the peace of the planet."
"Like that monster?" For some reason, if Izumi Shinichi had said this, Murano Satomi would have definitely responded with skepticism, but if it was Jake, she would subconsciously believe him.
"That's a parasite, a monster that come from outer space environment."
She nodded, still processing. For Murano Satomi, who didn't watch anime much, these were all new concepts. If it were Izumi Shinichi, he probably would have already continued Jake's story and finished it, perhaps even making it more elaborate.
Then, silence fell between the two of them again.
An hour later, the two arrived at Murano Satomi's house, where she lived alone with her mother.
Because of the bloody parasite incident earlier, she had no appetite to eat. After drinking some water, she sat on the sofa with Jake and watched TV.
"Could you tell me more about the organization?" Murano Satomi asked, looking at Jake sitting quietly on the sofa watching TV.
"Sure," Jake nodded.
Of course, he wouldn't reveal that he wasn't from this timeline; in fact, he didn't feel much emotional attachment to the girl in front of him yet.
The actress who played Murano Satomi was a pure and innocent-looking performer, and Jake's only impression of her was that she was sweet-looking.
In the movies, the female lead's appearances were relatively limited; only in the final installment of the second film did she have an intimate scene with the male lead. Otherwise, Jake might not have even paid much attention to her character.
After briefly explaining his cover story, Jake turned his head and met Murano Satomi's slightly different gaze.
Her eyes seemed to be glistening with emotion.
While Jake was speaking, Murano Satomi had been staring at him; she hadn't focused much on his words, only that he was engaged in saving the world.
However, during this time, while staring at Jake's serious face, Murano Satomi's mind kept replaying the scene of Jake fighting that monster.
His superb fighting style, his agile yet powerful movements, his advanced weapons, and the combat suit only seen in movies.
So… she was captivated.
When Jake met that gaze, he was also taken aback. He had seen that look before.
He had seen it in Matilda's eyes that night when Matilda said it was her first time.
He had seen it many times in Mia's eyes, each time when the two were in intimate moments, but each time Matilda would interrupt.
And now, meeting that gaze again.
This was a solo dimension-travel trip, so…
Jake shifted his body, moving closer to Murano Satomi, and then wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
The girl only trembled slightly, not resisting, but slowly closing her eyes and slightly raising her head.
This gesture was clearly a subtle invitation to kiss.
Jake had encountered this situation many times before, so he was quite familiar with it.
In less than thirty seconds, the two were kissing and lying on the sofa.
"Are we dating now?" Murano Satomi looked directly at Jake, her eyes full of expectation.
Jake shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee you anything. I'll be leaving this country after this mission, and it'll be difficult for me to come back."
"I don't mind," Murano Satomi shook her head, still looking at Jake expectantly.
"Then, I suppose we're dating now."
Murano Satomi didn't speak, but suddenly hugged his neck, pressing herself tightly against him.
What happened next was inevitable.
In the quiet Japanese-style room, the passionate young couple... and Jake's encounter with Satomi unfolded. (also she is adult so do not complain)
Murano Satomi was very responsive during this process; after all, this was a country with a particular cultural openness regarding such matters, and experience in this area was considerable.
However, one thing Jake noted was that this pure and lovely Murano Satomi wasn't a virgin. It seemed that before meeting Izumi Shinichi, this girl had a previous boyfriend, although it only lasted about a week.
Finding someone completely inexperienced in this country was indeed quite difficult.
Fortunately, Jake didn't dwell on it. He wasn't planning on staying permanently anyway, and knowing she'd had a boyfriend before made leaving feel less complicated.
This intense session lasted over two hours—quite the marathon!
It wasn't that Jake was showing off; rather, under the enhancement of the biological supplements created by Dr. Simms, he had become incredibly strong in every aspect, and his stamina was no joke.
That evening, Murano Satomi's mother returned.
"What's wrong, Satomi-chan?" She went to Satomi's room and found her daughter lying exhausted in bed.
"Nothing, just feeling a bit under the weather."
The weather was already quite chilly, so this excuse was perfect.
"You need to take good care of yourself. Did you take any medicine?"
"I already did." Satomi's voice was a little hoarse.
"Then get some sleep."
Satomi's mother nodded, said goodnight, and closed the door to leave her daughter's room.
She felt that something was slightly off about the room, but after looking around carefully, she couldn't pinpoint anything.
Just a minute after the door closed, Satomi looked up at the ceiling and whispered, "You can come down now, Jake-san."
A figure suddenly descended from above, landing lightly beside Satomi—it was Jake.
