There are times in life when you have to distance yourself from those you love because you love them

Another beautiful day has arrived. The sun rose and sunlight shone upon the city. In one particular house in a room.

The sunlight shone upon the face of a beautiful maiden. She has long silky brown hair that is spread on her pillow.

Slowly the beautiful maiden woke up, showing her beautiful brown-colored eyes. She stretched out her hands.

"Hnngh! What a good morning it is" Chizuru got out of bed and arranged it properly. After which she went to the bathroom to do her morning hygiene.

After she was done doing her morning hygiene, she changed her clothes as she was going to jog.

Going downstairs she saw her grandmother was already awake. She greeted her warmly, "Good morning grandma!"

Sayuri looked back and saw her granddaughter walking down. "Good morning Chizuru" She greeted back with a smile.

"Then I'll go jog for a bit bye grandma" After saying so Chizuru went out of the house. She started her jog from there.

A few minutes later she arrived at the park. She jogged there and noticed a person she knows.

'Ah it's Kazuya-kun' Just when she was about to call out to him, she noticed a beautiful girl with him. The girl has silky long black hair with her left eye covered by her bangs.

She was chatting with Kazuya happily. When she saw this she felt hurt for some reason. She shook her head and approached them.

"Good morning Kazuya-kun" She greeted him after arriving.

Kazuya's body twitch a bit when he heard the familiar voice. Kurumi noticed that but ignored it. He turned around and there she was, a person he saved previously and someone he has some complicated feelings for.

He forced a smile, "Good morning Ichinose-san"

When Kazuya look at Chizuru, he felt complicated. Ever since he confessed to Kurumi and became a lover, he was trying to avoid Chizuru.

Although when at the time he confessed to Kurumi, he said that she may not be the only one. He still tried to avoid other women he was close to, especially Chizuru since he has some feelings for her but it was complicated.

He did that since he doesn't want to hurt Kurumi or Chizuru. Even if there is a law that states it is legal to have multiple lovers, he doesn't want to hurt either of them.

After all, women naturally don't want to share their lovers.

Chizuru felt weird at Kazuya's response, she saw him forcing a smile but she didn't think too much about it.

She turned and stared at Kurumi who was beside Kazuya. "Umm, Kazuya-kun who is she?" She asked curiously.

Kazuya sighed in his mind before introducing Kurumi, "She's...my girlfriend, Kurumi" After some hesitation he finally said it.

Kurumi smiled, "Nice to meet you, I'm Tokisaki Kurumi"

Meanwhile, Chizuru's mind was in a mess after hearing what Kazuya said. She didn't even hear Kurumi's introduction.

She suddenly felt her heart like it was being crushed. It hurt, she didn't know why she was feeling this way or maybe she was just not willing to admit it.

She didn't know what to do next, she was struggling in her mind.

Kurumi noticed Chizuru's struggle and suddenly look at Kazuya. She saw his face was showing a complicated expression.

Then suddenly tears came out of Chizuru's eyes. Then she ran away from the two. Seeing this Kazuya hesitated as he looked at Kurumi. Ultimately he didn't run after her.

There was silence between the two after. Kurumi broke the silence, "Why...didn't you ran after her?" she asked while staring at Kazuya's eyes.

"I...." He didn't know what to say. Even if he has an omnipotent system at his disposal, he felt like he doesn't know how to explain it.

Kurumi sighed and shook her head, "When you confessed to me, you said that I may not be the only girl you will have. Didn't I agree to your confession?"

"You agreed, but..." '.I don't want to hurt you' he continued in his mind.

"Then that means I already accepted that you will have multiple women in your life, that I may not be the only woman. Normal women might not agree to it but, I'm not exactly normal. You also have feelings for her right? Then you should go after her, besides you don't have to worry I agree with you" She smiled brightly towards him. It was a pure smile towards her beloved.

Kazuya saw that smile and his hesitation disappeared. He also smiled towards her and thank her, "Thank you Kurumi, I love you"

He kissed her on the lips for a few seconds before running after Chizuru. He used ki on his legs and he runs faster. Luckily for Kazuya, he caught up with her.

He saw her sobbing under a tree in a secluded part of the park. He slowly approached her.

Kazuya stopped in front of her and said, "Stop crying....you look more beautiful if you smile"
