I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

But Arisa suddenly pointed and said to Nozomi with great conviction.

"It says there, 'Couples Only!' Mio, do you really not want anyone to know... that we're a couple?"

At this point, the girl's pitiful appearance made Himio feel very sorry for her. On one side was the haunted house he least wanted to enter, and on the other side was Arisa with this expression.

For a moment, Xi Ling was at a loss. While he was struggling with this decision, it was soon their turn in the line in front of the haunted house.

Now, even if he didn't want to go in, he had no choice...

Without a sound, Ximiao reached out her small hand and grasped Arisa's warm, jade-like hand. The sight of their interlocked fingers startled the girl.

Immediately, a slight smile appeared on her lips, further confirming that bringing Xi Ling to this place was the right choice.

"Alright, you two, you can go inside and have some fun now."

The words spoken by the receptionist at the door were tantamount to a death sentence for Himo, but if he didn't go in, it would be like giving Arisa a handle to use against him...

Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Arisa inside.

As the surrounding light gradually dimmed, the only source of illumination for the two of them was the small toy in their hands that emitted a faint red glow.

The unfamiliar environment, the dim lighting, and the occasional screams all stimulated Nozomi's fragile nerves.

The small hand holding Arisa's was already starting to sweat a little. Before they even got to the point, Nozomi already wanted to run back to the entrance.

however.

"Don't be so scared, Mio. Have you forgotten that you have me, a real devil, by your side?"

Sensing that Hiyo's little hands were very nervous, Arisa held them tightly and whispered words of comfort.

Hearing what she said, Ximiao nodded slightly and said.

"Well, let's get out of here... This place is too scary."

then.

Urged on by Hio, Arisa led Hio forward slowly, groping their way through the darkness. Her beautiful, wine-red eyes, which shimmered faintly in the darkness, were constantly on guard against any ghosts or monsters that might jump out from the corners to startle them.

at the same time.

In the attending physician's office at the hospital, the doctor, who had nothing better to do than turn on the computer to check the current status of the vital signs monitor that had been specially brought for Ximiao.

However, what she found shocking was that the doctor, who was leisurely sipping her coffee, almost vomited after seeing the data on the screen.

"Wait... what's with this heart rate? 156 beats per minute? Is Nozomi on stimulants or what?"

As for the other indicators, apart from slightly high blood pressure, there were no symptoms of lumbar shock, which is quite intriguing and makes the doctor wonder about the reasons for this situation.

Unaware of her current condition, which was clearly visible to the doctor, Hiyo was currently hiding in a locker with Arisa.

According to the rules, as long as they hide inside, the other students dressed as ghosts who are wandering around outside cannot scare them.

This reminded Ximiao of a horror game she had played before, where all you needed to do was know the location of the lockers, and escaping the ghost was as easy as walking a dog.

But clearly, the experience gained in the game doesn't apply here.

He shifted his gaze from the gap in the locker, no longer paying attention to the situation outside. Instead, he focused more on Arisa, who was squeezed into the small space with him.

Because of her tall and voluptuous figure, Arisa had to bend down to squeeze into the locker, which resulted in her placing her two heavy, soft mounds on Nozomi's head.

“That…Arisa…”

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The girl asked curiously, thinking that it was too stuffy in the closet and he was about to collapse, which was why she looked at Xiling with concern.

However, because that thing was too obstructing her view, she was unable to see the boy's face.

Xi Miao remained silent for a moment, then swallowed back what she wanted to say.

"...No, it's okay."

"Oh, I see. Then, Mio, quickly check the situation outside. Have they left yet?"

"Good~"

Hearing what Arisa said, Nozomi reluctantly turned her head to the side again, looking out through the gap in the locker.

Although he didn't see any more monsters wandering outside for the time being, Hiyo, who had been frightened by their sudden attacks several times, didn't tell Arisa the truth.

Anyway, the cabinet has been modified so that it can be locked from the inside, so as long as they don't go out, it's absolutely safe.

Thinking this, Nozomi whispered to Arisa.

“There are still ghosts and monsters walking around outside. It looks like we'll have to climb up for quite a while.”

"..."

Hearing the guilty tone in Hio's voice, Arisa couldn't help but suspect that he was lying to her because he didn't want to go out.

However, she didn't immediately expose Xi Ling's little scheme, after all, she herself couldn't help but have a little bit of selfishness in it at this moment.

She shifted her body slightly, changing her posture to avoid the discomfort of her head pressing against the cabinet.

As a result, Nozomi's face was completely buried in the softness, and with each breath, the sweet, tangerine-like perfume emanating from the girl wafted into her nostrils, making Nozomi's head feel dizzy.

Instinctively, he wanted to push Arisa away, and his hands suddenly reached out from the side to his front.

"Alas?!"

A scream suddenly rang out, and the entire locker trembled slightly from the girl's movement.

Before Arisa could say anything to him, Hiyo preemptively accused him, "Arisa, don't make such a commotion! If they find out we're here, they'll definitely be waiting outside to scare us!"

"Mio, you..."

She was almost laughing in exasperation at Hio, but unfortunately, Hio couldn't see the expression on Arisa's face at that moment.

The girl's hands, which had been resting obediently on Ximiao's shoulders, slowly moved downwards.

Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return!

For a moment, one of the lockers in the haunted house seemed to be haunted, emitting a frightening noise from time to time.

Even the students who happened to be passing by, dressed as ghosts, were startled by the two of them, mistaking them for real monsters who had infiltrated the area.

Although that is indeed the case...

a long time.

The exit of the haunted house.

Despite the strong air conditioning inside, it couldn't keep up with the two of them hiding in the locker for a long time. It was stuffy and hot, and they both broke out in a light sweat.

"Honestly, it's all Mio's fault for touching things everywhere, that's why it turned out like this!"

It's noticeable that the inexplicable flush on Arisa's pretty face hasn't faded yet.

However, Nozomi's situation was no less dire. The two of them hurt each other in the closet, but ended up with both of them suffering losses.

Knowing that she had started the fight, Xi Ling lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She then changed the subject and said...

"So, where should we go now? I want to rest for a bit..."

"How about we go to the coffee shop that our class owns and sit for a while?"

After thinking for a while, Arisa made the suggestion.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Purchasing Goods

"Come on~ Mio, open your mouth, ah~~"

"Could you please stop talking to me like that, like you're coaxing a child, Arisa..."

A blush crept onto Ximiao's face as she nervously looked around, only to find that everyone, from her classmates at work to the customers in the coffee shop, was unconsciously focusing their attention on her and Arisa.

Furthermore, with Arisa now holding a spoon and scooping up a spoonful of cake, looking like she wanted to feed him herself, this was even more embarrassing for Himo than public displays of affection.

"What's wrong? Isn't this how we usually eat our lunchboxes?"

Arisa tilted her head, looking quite innocent and cute, a stark contrast to her sexy outfit.

Under the pressure of everyone's gaze, Xi Ling ate the sweet cake in one bite. The girl opposite him was very satisfied and smiled, looking at him with the same kind of affection as if she were looking at a little brother next door.

If he had known that Arisa could cause trouble, he wouldn't have chosen to rest at the shop in his class.

The events that had just occurred in the locker of the haunted house were still vivid in his mind. Just a brief recollection was enough to make him feel his heart beating faster than usual.

However, unaware of what Hio was thinking, Arisa, following her usual routine, finished teasing the boy opposite her and then turned her attention back to the small cake in front of her.

As the two finished their coffee, the small cakes they bought outside were also devoured by the girl who loved sweets.

"Phew~ I'm finally alive."

Arisa couldn't help but pat her flat stomach as she said this, which made Nozomi chuckle.

"What are you laughing at, Mio?"

Arisa, puzzled as to why the boy had suddenly burst out laughing, asked him with some curiosity.

"No... it's just that the thing you did just now, Arisa, sounded like what Honoka-nee said after she finished eating~"

"Oh my~ Mio, you came on a date with me and you're already thinking about other women?"

"Eh?"

Sensing something amiss, Xi Ling immediately became alert.

"No way! Arisa, don't be jealous!"

"That might be... a bit difficult."

a long time.

The gymnasium where they usually hold club activities.

The large area was filled with all sorts of stalls, including some interactive games, which caught the attention of both Mio and Arisa.

"By the way, Mio, have you ever fired an air rifle?"

Looking at the balloon popping stall not far away, and the huge plush bear as the grand prize, Arisa couldn't help but ask Nozomi beside her.

Following the girl's gaze, Ximiao also noticed the teddy bear that had been placed aside as the grand prize.

then.
