Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 18 The Charm of the Tram
Afterwards, the two went outside into the street.

Considering Shiina Maki's physical condition, Akizuki Makoto did not choose to walk her to the station, but instead spent a lot of money to flag down a taxi on the roadside.

Of course, this means taking a train to the station, not going directly back to Bunkyo Ward.

The two did not exchange any words while sitting on the train to the station.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Akizuki Makoto watched the scenery rushing past the window, pondering whether his recent verbal sparring with Shiina Maki was ultimately a good or bad thing.

In fact, he deceived Maki Shiina.

He didn't keep an eye on Shiina Maki as he claimed; he only paid attention to her occasionally.

The demeanor he just displayed was nothing more than acting.

In order to keep Shiina Maki calm, he unconsciously started acting.

"If you dare to do it, you should dare to take responsibility. You've already done it, so why think so much?"

Akizuki Makoto only hesitated for a moment before stopping thinking about it.

He never regrets the decisions he makes because he firmly believes that all his choices are correct and the best solution at the time.

You could say this is arrogance, but it's also the secret to his strong and unwavering spirit.

Moreover, didn't he already know when he chose to accept the system's mission that his life would be distorted by abnormal women from then on?

The taxi quickly arrived at the nearby station. Akizuki Makoto took out the last Fukuzawa Yukichi note from his wallet and handed it to the driver. He then led Shiina Maki into the station platform to wait for the train.

It was nearing evening, during the evening rush hour, and the platform was filled with office workers waiting for their trains and students heading home.

When the tram arrived and the doors opened, these people swarmed into the carriage like sharks smelling blood.

Seeing this, Akizuki Makoto didn't squeeze in with them. He waited until the train was about to leave before taking Shiina Maki's hand and boarding the train just in time.

As soon as they boarded the train, they were squeezed into a small corner at the edge of the carriage by the surging crowd.

Concerned about Shiina Maki's health and worried that she might be jostled, Akizuki Makoto instinctively braced himself against the carriage, shielding her from the crowds from all sides in a wall-pinning position.

Shiina Maki naturally noticed Akizuki Makoto's intention in doing so, and thought to herself, what have I done to deserve such care from him?

“Akizuki-kun... I do indeed have feelings for you.”

When this thought crossed her mind, her eyes immediately became hazy and moist, and her breathing unconsciously became heavier, with her panting heavily.

She looked up at Qiu Yuecheng's well-defined jawline and handsome face, her affectionate eyes filled with pink hearts.

At such close range, the scent emanating from Akizuki Makoto filled her nostrils with every breath, making her almost lose control.

She instinctively wanted to activate time stop, but then suddenly realized that it would be too wasteful.

The reason she wanted to stop time was simply so she could get close to Akizuki Makoto, wasn't it?
But now that she's already close to Akizuki Makoto, isn't stopping time a bit unnecessary?
Just then, the tram arrived at the next station and came to an abrupt stop.

In an instant, a shaking sensation like a tidal wave swept through the entire train, causing many people inside to sway and bump into each other.

"good chance!"

Shiina Maki was overjoyed. Pretending to lose her balance, she stumbled forward and fell directly into Akizuki Makoto's arms.

Akizuki Makoto, who was bumped into, was clearly unaware of Shiina Maki's little scheme.

Feeling the warmth of her embrace against his chest, he asked with some concern, "Shiina-kun, are you alright?"

"No, it's okay..."

Shiina Maki gently shook her head, moved her face away from Akizuki Makoto's chest, raised her head, and looked at him.

At this moment, they were almost touching.

Shiina Maki could even feel the warm breath from Akizuki Makoto's breathing, the tingling sensation on her face that made her body tremble with excitement, and her body temperature rose rapidly.

If their previous pose was a "wall slam," then their current pose is a "push-down."

If Shiina Maki weren't half a head shorter than him, they would definitely have kissed after that bump!
"It's okay."

Akizuki Makoto smiled with relief and said, "If you don't mind, you can lean on me like this, so you don't fall down again."

The route from Adachi Ward to Bunkyo Ward passes through twelve stations.

In other words, they will experience twenty-four more impacts like the one just experienced, because not only stopping, but also the sudden acceleration when starting will bring a shaking sensation.

"W-Can I?!" Shiina Maki asked excitedly, she couldn't be happier to lean on Akizuki Makoto!

That way, she could openly bury her face in his chest and freely inhale his scent.

Previously, if she wanted to do this, she would have to sneak into the boys' locker room during PE class to steal Akizuki Makoto's school uniform. Later, with the ability to stop time, she was able to lean directly against him.

But that was something that couldn't be brought into the light. If she could, she would like to be allowed to lean against Akizuki Makoto like this, and openly smell his scent.

"If you don't mind, you can lean against it."

Akizuki Makoto smiled, but he had actually noticed a little something about Shiina Maki—she was sniffing his scent like a lovesick woman, and then she was acting like she was in heat.

However, he didn't expose her, after all, Shiina Maki possessed the ability to stop time, and the things she did to him using time before were far more outrageous than what she was doing now.

That's how Chinese people are. If you ask them to open a skylight, they definitely won't agree, but if you ask them to tear down the roof, they'll be willing to open a skylight instead.

Rather than being toyed with by time stop, it's better to let her lie on top of me and smell my scent to satisfy her, so as to avoid her being unsatisfied and triggering time stop again.

"Of course I wouldn't mind!"

After saying that, Shiina Maki immediately hugged Akizuki Makoto and pressed her body tightly against his chest.

Although she was wearing a thick winter uniform, her exceptional talent made Akizuki Makoto feel her softness and couldn't help but become aroused.

He tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and tried to silently recite the Three Character Classic to suppress the pounding in his heart.

But Shiina Maki was just too restless. Not only did she hug him, but she also rubbed against him like she had ADHD.

And that's not even the most critical thing.

The worst part is that as the tram arrives at the station and the doors open, even more people squeeze into the carriage, making the already crowded carriage feel like it can't even hold any air.

Akizuki Makoto had no choice but to move forward a little with the crowd.

This caused him to pin Shiina Maki against the edge of the carriage, and as the crowd increased, he was forced to bump into her again.

Now, Shiina Maki had nowhere to hide, as she was already leaning against the edge of the carriage.

"Hmm~~~"

And so, when Akizuki Makoto bumped into Shiina Maki, a soft moan reached his ears.

Although the voice was extremely faint, he heard it clearly, which immediately broke his composure, and the hot blood flowing in his body immediately gathered in a certain place.

Although the train was equipped with powerful air conditioning to keep the temperature inside the carriage at a comfortable level, both Akizuki Makoto and Shiina Maki felt their body temperature rising rapidly, and even their heads felt hot.

At this moment, the tram finally started moving slowly, and the crowded flow of people maintained a delicate balance. They stopped pushing and shoving each other and silently endured the feeling of being crowded.

At this moment, Makoto Akizuki finally understood why the passengers on those trains could be so indifferent.

Being crammed like this every day during the commute, anyone would become numb to it by now.

However, this hard-won sense of balance did not last long.

Four minutes later, the tram arrived at the next station, and the intense shaking began as expected.

Although Akizuki Makoto stood firmly and did not fall or lose his balance, the people behind him who had no handrails or points of leverage bumped into him as the swaying occurred, forcing him to move forward.

At that moment, Akizuki Makoto could clearly sense the presence of something.

"Um……"

Shiina Maki, who had been enduring it all along, couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her fair and delicate face flushed red.

Makoto Akizuki couldn't take it anymore. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to control himself before the train arrived in Bunkyo Ward.

So he suggested, "Shiina, why don't you turn around and face away from me? It's too cramped here."

"Okay, okay..."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Maki felt regretful and reluctant, but she still nodded in agreement.

After receiving Shiina Maki's consent, Akizuki Makoto apologized to the passengers around him while squeezing back to make room for her to turn around.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shiina Maki quickly turned around, pressing her chest tightly against the car window, her back to Akizuki Makoto, revealing the beautiful curve of her back.

In terms of figure, Shiina Maki is even better than Himeya Yuki, because she has a perfect slightly chubby pear-shaped figure with a curvy bust, hips, and a slim waist, which is irresistible to look at.
