<h4>Chapter 742: I’d be fine even if I died right now</h4>


    Trantor: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu


    The movie “Silver” had excellent visuals, special effects, fighting scenes, and storyline. It deserved its wonderful reviews.


    Seiji felt that this was quite an enjoyable movie.


    He especially felt that the story knew just how far to take its more impactful scenes. None of the scenes seemed overboard, and the lines were well-said as well. It was also due to the actors’ skilled acting that the audience became immersed.


    The movie’s story about sense of self, truth, and lies indeed moved him. However, he had pondered upon such subjects many times already, and by now, there was no need for him to think more on this topic.


    It was Chiaki instead who seemed quite contemtive after the movie.


    “Just like the main character of that movie, if a person lives hisplete life pretending to be someone else, just who is he, then?” Chiaki asked.


    That was the final question posed by the movie.


    The body substitute killed the prince and took his ce. Silver would get to spend the rest of his life with the prince’s identity. He would also have to act exactly the same as the prince to keep the act up. In that case, was Silver still himself?


    Some people would say that this was the body double’s sess, the highest realm that one could achieve.


    Some would say that this was the body double’s failure, aplete loss of one’s sense of self.


    Seiji’s answer was…


    “I think that this question can only be answered by the person in question.”


    “What you mean is, he is who he thinks he is?” Chiaki blinked.


    “Yeah.” Seiji nodded.


    “That’s just idealism!” Chiaki pointed at him.


    “This type of question is about idealism to begin with… By the way, what do you think the answer is?”


    “I think… he’s still a fake.” Chiaki paused for a moment. “Even if youpletely disguise yourself as another person, a fake is still a fake.”


    “So, you think that he’s still himself, except that he’ll have to act for the rest of his entire life?”


    “You could say that.”


    “Being an actor for one’s entire life… that’s something amazing.” Seiji chuckled. “To act for an entire life, that’s like bing the very character you’re acting as.”


    “Even if someone bes their character, an actor is still an actor. No matter how long one acts, an actor is still an actor.” Chiaki smiled. “This is an objective fact.”


    “You’re too much of a believer in materialism. That’s not romantic enough, Wakaba-san of the drama club.”


    “It’s precisely because I’m in the drama club that I need to differentiate better.”


    “You make that sound correct as well…”


    “Truth is on my side! You’ve already lost, unscientific existence Haruta-san.”


    “An unscientific existence… it’s hard for me to counter you calling me that.”


    “Heehee~ ording to our contract, the loser must listen to the winner’smands!”


    “I don’t remember signing such a contract.”


    “You indeed signed such a contract—in my mind.”


    “There’s no helping it then. What would you like for me to do?”


    “Don’t act like you’re toozy to even retort! I want you to treat me to crepes.”


    The two of them had fun touring the business district on their date. After that, they took a bus together to another nned date site—the Sky Tree Tower.


    This was a famous tower in Sakura Ind that was more than six hundred meters tall. As a popr tourist location, it also made for a great ce for a date.


    It would have been more romantic to go there during the evening instead, but the Sky Tree Tower was currently closed during the evenings for “maintenance”. There was no time announced for when the Sky Tree Tower would reopen in the evenings.


    This tower had two observatories. One was at 350 meters high, while the other was 450 meters high. Of course, the higher observatory required one to purchase a more expensive ticket. With Seiji’s current wealth, however, he didn’t need to worry about such a price difference at all. Of course, he directly purchased the more expensive ticket for the 450-meter-tall observatory.


    “When I first got acquainted with you, you were still so poor. But now, you’re even richer than I am.” Chiaki pretended toment this. “It’s truly regrettable that I wasn’t able to be your sugar momma.”


    “Don’t regret such a thing, as I absolutely wouldn’t have epted having a sugar momma!” Seiji made a serious expression.


    “Is that the truth in your heart?”


    “It sounds quite nice to have a beautiful girl taking care of all my financial needs, but I’d be too embarrassed to allow it…”


    “Ha, men.”


    They joked around as they got on the elevator which swiftly took them up.


    After exiting the elevator, they arrived at the tower’s famous structure, its “Sky Corridor”! This was a tube-shaped corridor that circled around the tower’s body. One could gaze at the city’s scenery through the ss here. As the weather was clear today, Seiji could see the wonderful scenery incredibly far into the distance.


    “This ce would be even better if they changed the flooring of this corridor to reinforced transparent ss instead,” Seiji suggested.


    “That would make this into a scary ce instead! That would greatly reduce the number of tourists,” Chiaki retorted.


    “It wouldn’t. The shocking visual effect will give people a deeper impression and make this ce even more famous, attracting more victims… whoops, I meant attract even more tourists.”


    “You just said the word victims, didn’t you!”


    “Not at all. How can any victims appear simply from walking in a ss corridor high up in the sky? It’s safe and sturdy. It’s also a way for men to show off their courage in front of their girlfriends, and even an excellent opportunity for some kisses and hugs.”


    “You evil person!”


    Despite the retorts, Chiaki was standing very close to Seiji’s side with a seductive expression. Seiji was also looking at her with love in his eyes.


    These two appeared just like a lovestruck couple to everyone else.


    As they walked around the corridor, they looked down at the dense mass of buildings down below them, along with all the passing cars, ships on the river, all the beautiful cherry blossoms blooming on the riverside… They kept walking higher and higher in the corridor while enjoying the scenery. It felt as if they were climbing the sky itself.


    When they reached the highest point of the corridor, it was time to take some pictures for a memory.


    What pose should he make? Seiji instantly understood when he saw the look in Chiaki’s eyes.


    He set up his selfie stick to take a picture a few secondster. He then hugged her and kissed those luscious lips of hers, letting this sweet moment be recorded.


    “I feel like I’d be fine even if I died right now,” Chiaki sighed.


    “Don’t say something like that.” Seiji red at her.


    Currently the two of them were in a restaurant located on the 345th meter of the Sky Tree Tower.


    After they left the Sky Corridor, they went down to the observation deck on the 350th meter to look around, and then came here for lunch.


    The food was delicious, an excellentbination with the scenery from being high above. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as romantic as it could be since it wasn’t evening.


    Even so, Chiaki was highly satisfied.


    “No saying such foolish things even if it’s only a joke, do you hear me?”


    “I hear you~” Chiaki acted spoiled while her heart was filled by a warm feeling.


    A silly smile appeared on her face as she looked directly at him.


    Seiji’s lips also arced upwards as he raised his ss.


    Of course, it was only fruit juice in his ss.


    “It would have been better if this was alcohol instead…” Chiaki also raised her ss of fruit juice.


    “I’ll drink a few with youter tonight.” Seiji clinked his ss against hers.


    “For real!?”


    “Well, if you don’t want to, then no.”


    “Of course I want to! We absolutely must have some drinks!!” Chiaki’s eyes lit up. She hadn’t had any alcohol for a long while now.


    Seiji drank some fruit juice and looked at her once more with a gentle expression.


    Of course, he was just as satisfied as Chiaki with their date.


    It was always so fun being together with her.


    “Chiaki…”


    “What is it?”


    “I like you… it’s wonderful being together with you,” Seiji said sincerely from his heart.


    Chiaki’s face flushed red at this sudden confession. Her eyes became watery, as if she was drunk.


    “Same for me, Seiji. If I had to die right now, I definitely wouldn’t want to die. I’d absolutely find some way to live so that I can be together with you, and enjoy our happy life together…”
