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

At Arisa's house, Nozomi was sitting unceremoniously in the living room, playing Ludo with a few people to kill time. She was looking at the dice in her hand with great tension.

He took a deep breath and threw the die with a jerk. As everyone expected, the die landed squarely on the number "1".

"Pfft~ Mio, your luck is really bad! From the beginning until now, you've been making progress step by step~"

Arisa, sitting opposite him, couldn't help but mock Nozomi's bad luck, which made the boy's face darken. But that was the truth, and there was nothing he could do about it.

As you can see, on the chessboard, Arisa and her daughter, and even Honoka, only had one piece left to win the game.

The area where Nozomi was supposed to finish was empty and looked quite desolate.

a long time.

As expected, Arisa won, and as a reward for being the winner, she could order the other three people to each grant her one request.

"mom!"

"Ok?"

Seemingly surprised that Arisa would call her name first, Ami was momentarily stunned before looking at the girl whose face was full of excitement.

"Tell me, what prize do you want..."

"Add an extra zero to the end of my allowance next month!"

She's not greedy; it's only for a month. I think her mom will agree.

however.

"Next month... Mio, I remember next month is your school's midterm exam, right?"

"Eh? That's definitely true."

"Well, if you can stay in the top 100 of your grade in next month's midterm exams, I'll add two more zeros to your allowance. But if you can't, you won't get any allowance next month~"

It can only be said that experience matters. Even though Arisa was very dissatisfied with the conditions, her mother controlled the finances, so she was powerless to do anything about it.

then.

She had no choice but to turn her gaze to the other side, to Fanxia, ​​who was watching the commotion. She was startled when she was glared at by those wine-red eyes.

Then, after a moment of contemplation, Arisa spoke softly.

"You, give me a foot massage."

"Eh?"

"What? Don't you understand? You, Fanxia, ​​give me a foot massage. If I'm not satisfied, then keep massaging!"

"..."

Seeing how much Fanxia was suffering, he, who had been deliberately left until the end, might be asked by Arisa to do something utterly immoral.

Thinking of this, Ximiao silently shifted her buttocks back, planning to run away immediately if anything went wrong later.

However, it seemed that Arisa had already anticipated that the boy would do this. She took a step forward and pressed down on his shoulder, making Nozomi sit obediently in place.

"Mio~ Don't even think about running away~"

"..."

after awhile.

Having already taken a shower, and still drying his hair with a clean towel, Peros slowly walked into the living room.

Looking at the group of people who were still playing the punishment game, a hint of disdain involuntarily showed on their cute little faces.

On the sofa, Mio sat upright, while Arisa lay comfortably on the boy's lap, enjoying a lap pillow.

As for Fanxia, ​​who had brought over a small stool, she was diligently completing her task, massaging Arisa's feet, her expression one of utter disdain.

"Haven't you had enough fun yet, Miss Arisa..."

Berlos couldn't help but step forward and ask, "If they continue like this, who knows when they'll take a shower? And when she'll go to bed after washing her clothes is uncertain."

When her cat maid asked her this question, Arisa pretended to think for a moment before answering.

"Hmm...almost there~ I just want to play a little longer~"

Seeing this, Berlos didn't know what else to say, so she went to the kitchen and rummaged through the refrigerator to see what drinks she could have.

And on the sofa.

Nozomi couldn't help but complain, whispering to Arisa on her lap, "Arisa... my leg is numb, can't I get up?"

"No way! I always let you lie down like this, Mio. How come you're already complaining of being tired after just a little while when I lie on your lap?!"

For a while?

It's been almost an hour!

Xi Ling could clearly feel that her thighs were gradually losing sensation, just like being slowly sliced ​​to death, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Since Arisa had already said that, he couldn't say anything more and could only shut his mouth and silently endure it.

Seeing that Hiyo had finished dealing with things, Arisa shifted her attention to the other side.

"Hey! Can you use a little more force? This weak massage pressure, are you trying to slack off?"

"...Get lost."

Despite her blunt words, she didn't stop what she was doing, just so that Arisa wouldn't accuse her of being a sore loser.

Taking advantage of the fact that the others' attention had been diverted by her, Arisa slightly turned her head to face Nozomi's flat stomach.

"Arisa? What is this... Huh?!"

The girl's pink tongue suddenly attacked, causing Himo to let out a scream, which attracted the attention of Honoka, who was not far away.

"Mio, what's wrong?"

"No! It's nothing, Fanxia-nee, don't worry~"

Suppressing his shame and anger at being robbed, he managed to fool Fanxia and then glared fiercely at Arisa, who was still secretly laughing.

All I heard was him lower his voice and whisper, "What are you doing?!"

"Oh dear~ Is it because Honoka's around that you're so nervous, Mio? You seem to be in much better shape than before~"

Instead of directly answering Nozomi's question, Arisa took advantage of Honoka's momentary lapse in attention and continued doing what she had just been doing.

Having learned from her previous experience, Nozomi suppressed the strange feeling and tried her best not to make a sound so that Honoka would find out.

But what surprised him even more was that this feeling was actually more comfortable than most of the time.

a long time.

Because it was so late, they didn't want to bother Arisa any longer.

The two people, who were preparing to say goodbye to the mother and daughter, stood in the entrance hall, still holding several gifts that Aunt Ashi had given them.

Xi Ling's face looked unusually rosy, and she was clutching the hem of her T-shirt tightly with both hands, which looked very strange.

"I'm really sorry to have troubled you two to keep Arisa company with her antics until so late."

Aunt Ami apologized sincerely. As for the other side, on Arisa's head, you could see the bump that Ami had punched her.

"I'm sorry..."

She spoke weakly, seemingly having been severely reprimanded. This sight made Fanxia, ​​who had been massaging her feet for over an hour, feel quite relieved.

after awhile.

"Phew~ It's finally all done. It's so much more comfortable staying at home."

Fanxia stretched and took off her shoes in the entryway before heading to the living room.

As for Himio, he finally recovered from the shock of being messed around by Arisa earlier. He then remembered that he was still carrying the gift that Aunt Ami had forcibly stuffed into his hand before he left.

Curious, he picked up the bag, opened it, and saw that it contained Matsusaka beef, which he usually couldn't bear to buy when he went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Upon seeing such an expensive gift, Ximiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Mio~ Why are you still in the entryway?"

Seeing that Nozomi hadn't come into the living room for a long time, Honoka called out with some confusion.

"Coming!"

Nozomi snapped out of her reverie, took off her shoes, and immediately stuffed the beef that Aunt Ami had brought into the refrigerator.

What are you doing?

Curious about what Nozomi was doing, Honoka came over to see what he was doing in the kitchen.

"Aunt Ami gave us a huge plate of premium Matsusaka beef! I'm thinking of making sukiyaki for you, Honoka-nee, tomorrow!"

"?!"

Hearing that there would be something good to eat tomorrow, Fanxia immediately perked up. However, she still resisted the urge to hug and kiss Ximiao, and asked softly.

"So, Mio, what do you think I should reward you with? Something for such a capable person like you!"

"Huh? It's just making dinner like usual, nothing special, right?"

Not quite understanding why Honoka would suddenly say something like that, Nozomi tilted her head.

A pair of light blue eyes stared intently at her pretty face. Fan Xia, who originally had no bad intentions, actually felt a little guilty after being looked at by him.

"Honestly, why is it so hard to find an excuse to reward you, Mio?"

"As for the reward... Oh right, Fanxia-nee, can you help me..."

The boy gestured for her to lean down, then leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

All that could be seen was Fanxia's fair and pretty face, which gradually blushed, as if she was very shy about what the boy had said.

"Does it really have to be this way?"

"Oh, right, you said you wanted to reward me, right? Anyway, after what we did last night, you should be able to do this easily, right, Fanxia-neechan?"

"...Okay, but only after you've taken a shower!"

"Good~"

Seeing that her scheme had succeeded, Nozomi couldn't help but smile. She wondered how Honoka's skills would compare to Arisa's.

For some reason, I'm kind of looking forward to it~
