141 Meeting By Chance

In the previous chapters, Ikaruga had asked Bourne for a date. She decided to be brave with herself and took the initiative since she felt if she wasn't the one who moved, then her loved one would move away fleeting on the wind, without being able to chase after it once again.

Ikaruga was jealous of Sorano and Juvia, so this time, it was her chance!

In this world, the entertainment was very limited, and there were a lot of entertainment games on Bourne's home which were being created by him because he was bored, however, Ikagura didn't want to stay at home since there was a place that she wanted to visit.

When both of them arrived at this place, Bourne looked at Ikaruga and said, "You sure love this place."

"Yes, this is my favorite place."

Ikaruga showed a rare smile and stared at a garden that was planted with various flowers.

Bourne had a lot of money and the time he spent his money was slower than the time he got his money so in the end, he used his money for a lot of things which he thought were fun and this garden of various flowers was one of them.

In this garden, there was a small villa with a Japanese traditional design that was surrounded by a beautiful flower that was similar to a Sakura tree, hydrangea, and various flowers and grass which was being designed specially with an intention to make anyone who came to this place feel calm.

There was even a group of bonsai trees of various sizes and each of them could even be sold with a million Jewels in price.

Ikaruga loved to come to this place since she felt calm and she could forget a lot of things in this place. She pulled Bourne's hand and walked around this huge garden with a smile.

Bourne was wondering what was so fun about watching flowers, but he wouldn't say it outloud since he could tell that this woman was very happy.

"Bourne-sama, do you remember the first time we met?" Ikaruga asked.

"The first time we met?" Bourne smiled and said, "If I remember well, you want to kill me at that time."

Ikaruga blushed since at that time, the only thought on her mind was to stay alive and she could only fight Bourne with all of her might, even so, it was futile since he was too strong and her power wasn't enough.

"But still, I am glad that I met you at that time since if I didn't meet you at that time, we might not have met each other," Bourne said.

"Bourne-sama...." Ikaruga smiled sweetly and couldn't help but hold Bourne's hand tighter, but then she quickly loosened her hand and bit her lips.

"What's wrong?"

"Bourne-sama, I haven't said it before, but I am very grateful of you." Ikaruga looked at Bourne and said, "Vidaldus and Fukuro might not say it, but they're also glad to be able to work under you since they don't need to do a dangerous and dirty job like in the past."

Bourne shook his head and said, "Don't be, I am glad that all of you can work under me."

"Bourne-sama...."

Ikaruga knew that it was a perfect chance, but somehow, it was hard to bring out that kind of topic so suddenly. She hoped that the day would turn to night then there would be a firework then at that time, she could push Bourne to the ground and quickly had him, then telling him that she would take responsibility for him, however, somehow, she had a feeling that wasn't going to work.

Bourne looked at Ikaruga and somehow felt that this woman was quite cute. It might be related to Ur, but it seemed that he had a soft point for an older girl.

'Now that you mention it...'

Bourne realized that Ur, Ultear, Sorano, and Juvia were older than him which made him somehow felt quite weird when he realized that it seemed that he had an older woman fetish. Looking at Ikaruga, he had a feeling what she wanted to tell him considering the change of his relationship with Sorano and Juvia.

Bourne looked at Ikaruga and had decided to live without any regret so there was only one thing that he needed to do.

"Ikaruga."

"Yes?"

His voice broke Ikaruga's thought and she quickly turned toward him. She was startled and somehow, she got quite nervous, looking at him.

"We have been together for a long time and you should realize that I am not a good person, right?"

Ikaruga shook her head and said, "Even if you're not a good person, you're very gentle, Bourne-sama, however, even if your body is covered in blood and you're not a good person, I am also the same." She felt quite uncomfortable, however, she couldn't stop the words which came out from her mouth. "I am an assassin. Unlike you whose intention is to protect your loved one, I do it for a job and I don't even blink my eyes when I kill someone now. Compared to you, I am dirty."

Even though Ikaruga didn't want to admit it, compared to Juvia and Sorano, she also felt that she didn't feel that worthy of him, especially when she thought that she had killed a lot of people and dirtied her hands, but then her hand was held and she heard these words.

"Ikaruga, I want you. Stay beside me forever."

As a man, of course, Bourne was the one who was going to make the first move.

"......"

Ikaruga was looking at him in disbelief, but then she became happy, however, she quickly shook her head. Her mind was mixed and she wasn't sure what to do for a while.

"Do you hate me, Ikaruga?" Bourne asked when he saw her and didn't answer him.

"No, there's no way that I hate you, Bourne-sama! I - I love you too!" Ikaruga quickly said.

"So, what are you worried about?" Bourne asked.

"Ca.. Can I be happy?" Ikaruga asked.

"Yes." Bourne nodded.

"Even if I have killed a person."

"Me too." Bourne looked at Ikaruga and asked, "As I have killed people, I don't have a right to be happy?"

"Of course not!"

"Then you don't need to think too much." Bourne took Ikaruga's hands and said, "I want to make you happy, so please be mine."

Ikaruga blushed and her heart could burst anytime. She stared at Bourne and said, "I want to make you happy too, Bourne-sama, so please take care of me from now on."

"I will."

Bourne moved his head closer and Ikaruga closed her eyes.

Their lips touched together and Ikaruga couldn't help but cry at this moment since she was so happy at that moment, and at the same time, she really loved this man.

Ikaruga hugged Bourne's tightly and said, "I love you, Bourne-sama."

"I love you, Ikaruga."

Bourne hugged Ikaruga and knew that in the eyes of normal people, he was viewed as a scumbag, especially when he had Ur, Ultear, Juvia, and Sorano beside him, but even so, he was going to make them happy no matter now or in the future.
