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

Before Hiyo could even ask, she heard Arisa weakly say, "Do we really have to change clothes by the restroom?"

"..."

Since she said so, Nozomi naturally chose to... follow Arisa to the locker room over at the gymnasium to change her clothes.

Although it seems that Arisa has been acting strangely ever since lunch today.

When we're changing clothes later, I'll take the opportunity to ask her what happened...

That's what Hio thought.

But reality gave him a harsh slap in the face.

The moment he stepped into the locker room, he heard Arisa lock the door from the inside.

Then, he saw the aggressive girl approaching him step by step, which startled Himiko so much that she fell down onto the bench in the center of the room.

"Arisa, what are you... trying to do?"

"Hmm? I just have a few questions I wanted to ask you, Nozomi."

When she said those words, she made no attempt to hide the demonic traits she possessed.

The small wings on its back and the constantly wagging tail were putting pressure on Ximiao. As the tail slowly wrapped around his neck, the interrogation time between the two officially began.

Outside.

"Strange...why is the locker room door locked?"

"Really? Shall I give it a try?"

Several girls who were planning to come here to change clothes stood outside the changing room, somewhat puzzled and unsure of what to do.

After trying several times without success, they had no choice but to take their clothes and find another place to change.

At this moment, Nozomi had no time to care about any of this.

"Wait... Arisa! You can't go there!"

“Sometimes, Mio, you need to learn to try new things. Resisting them will only make you feel bad.”

Arisa, who had already thrown all his clothes aside, held his hands down tightly. Even though his thighs, which had not an ounce of fat, thrashed about wildly, he couldn't budge Arisa an inch.

All I heard was her soft voice saying, "If you answer my questions properly, I might consider letting you go, Mio. It all depends on your performance."

"..."

"So, Mio, every time you go to the restroom, are you really changing clothes? And why did you stay there for so long this morning?"

Good grief, they're starting to suspect this, and on top of that, this lie detector tail is wrapped around their neck...

He now only has two choices.

One option is to continue enduring Arisa's interrogation; whether he can survive this ordeal depends on his willpower.

Another point is to decisively expose Ms. Hanako completely, extricate himself from the situation, and let the two of them confront each other.

Given Arisa's intelligence, she must have had sufficient evidence before confronting him here.

In just a few breaths, Hiyo had thought of so many things, but Arisa had no patience to continue arguing with him.

Seeing that Xi Ling didn't answer her, the tail suddenly tightened, wrapping tightly around his neck, and a feeling of suffocation immediately surged up.

Perhaps because she could sense Nozomi's physical signs, Arisa controlled the force of her blows perfectly.

Just as Nozomi was about to lose consciousness, it loosened its tail to keep Nozomi awake.

After all, she didn't go to the office with Ximiao to ask the instructor for leave for today's club activities. If she lingered here for too long, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

She needs to deal with Himiko quickly.

However, to her surprise, the girl beneath her, whom she had firmly controlled, was unusually stubborn and refused to say a word in response to her continuous questions.

Although he didn't admit it, this indirectly proves that he has something to hide.

then.

Arisa then stopped being polite to him and started to act ruthlessly. In the next instant, intense pain forced Himio to widen his eyes and struggle incessantly.

God knows how long he was tortured by Arisa. It wasn't until he was almost completely unconscious and inadvertently saw Arisa's disappointed expression that Nozomi finally let go and told the truth.

at this time.

Miss Ghost, who was still in her room, happily eating snacks and playing games, suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

"Hiss... I have a bad feeling about this."

She glanced around and found that nothing seemed different except that Xi Ling hadn't come over to change her clothes yet, so she continued to focus her attention on the game in front of her.

Little did they know the extent of the torture Xi Ling endured, until she was on the verge of giving her away.

a long time.

The locker room door was opened from the inside.

After confirming that no one outside was paying attention to them, Arisa, who had already changed her clothes, waved towards the dressing room with a smile on her face.

Immediately after, Hiyo, who had also changed her clothes, slowly followed behind Arisa and walked out of the dressing room.

However, one thing is different: today, Nozomi wasn't wearing the sports jacket that Arisa usually wears.

All she was wearing was her leotard and tight-fitting athletic shorts that clung to her skin.

His fair thighs were exposed to the air, but what was even more striking was the lingering flush on his lovely face.

Just now, during the short interrogation of more than ten minutes, he awakened something extraordinary under Arisa's questioning.

As for what that feeling was like, Nozomi didn't really want to know yet. His mind was a mess right now, and all he could think about was how to explain things to Hanako-san.

Although Arisa knew of Hanako's existence, under interrogation, she also learned that the relationship between the two was simply that of a relationship advisor.

So she didn't react much, not at all, like she was jealous; she was just angry that Xi Ling had kept it from her all this time.

In other words, Hanako's life was barely saved.

It's still club activity time, and the fact that Arisa hasn't immediately gone to find Hanako's boyfriend already says a lot.

Sitting alone on the bench, Himiko silently watched the girl on the court, as if nothing had happened.

Because he wasn't wearing a coat, and the coat that covered a large area of ​​his skin was there, he could clearly feel subtle gazes scrutinizing him.

This made Himiko feel very uncomfortable, but she was helpless. This could be considered part of Arisa's punishment for him.

On the court, looking at the sullen boy, Arisa couldn't help but smile slightly.

Lying, while it did make her angry, wasn't a big deal. It just gave her an excuse to convince Mio to accept the punishment.

However, she would never let Ximiao know about this, otherwise, if he made a fuss about it to Ashi, she would be in big trouble.

The girl on the court couldn't help but think this, and then she turned her gaze back to the basketball.

Then let's finish this match quickly and go find Miss Ghost to have a proper talk.

Chapter Seventy-Three: Publicly Funded Dining and Drinking

"So... you just sold me out like that?"

Hanako glared fiercely at Nozomi, who was hiding behind the girl opposite her, seemingly very dissatisfied that he had betrayed her.

But she didn't dare complain now... because Arisa was right there, and she would never stand by and watch Hanako bully Nozomi.

then.

Hanako had no choice but to swallow her anger and lie back, saying to Arisa.

"Come on! Give me a quick death and send me to the afterlife!"

"Huh? When did I say I was going to perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife?"

A slightly bewildered Arisa, taken aback by her actions, tilted her head and asked curiously.

But Hanako, lying opposite her, completely exhausted, still felt that this was just the devil toying with her, his defenseless prey, and having fun before he could kill her.

Another half hour passed.

Seeing that Arisa hadn't made a move yet, she couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the opposite side, only to find that the demon and the treacherous Himio were both looking at her with smiles.

Hanako finally understood that Arisa really didn't have any intention of taking advantage of her.

However, thinking of her selfless act just now, Hanako couldn't help but blush.

I'm so embarrassed!

She could see out of the corner of her eye that Xi Ling was trying hard to suppress her laughter, and she wished she could grab him and pull him hard, making him beg for mercy in pain!

Arisa, who was still unaware of what Hanako was thinking, said quietly after seeing that Hanako believed her and wouldn't hurt her.

"So, what exactly is your relationship with Ximiao? Is it really just that you're his relationship advisor?"

Although she learned a lot from Himeko, everything needs to be verified. What if Hanako-san didn't think that way?

then.

That wicked, lie-detecting tail wrapped itself around Hanako's long neck without warning, startling her so much that she straightened her back and sat up straight.

She was afraid that if Arisa got upset, she would strangle her to death.

Huh? Ghosts don't need to breathe, then it's alright.

For the next while, it was a series of questions from Arisa, with Arisa answering one by one. The slightly guilty Nozomi, naturally, listened with trepidation, afraid that she would say too much and make a mistake.

Fortunately, after Arisa's combo attack, Hanako wasn't seriously injured, and Nozomi breathed a sigh of relief.

After resolving Hanako's issues, Arisa took Nozomi and left.

Finally, she was left alone again, sitting in the room. Even though Arisa hadn't done anything, Hanako's back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Does this mean I've been given a second chance at life?"

She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

On the other side, Nozomi and Arisa, who were walking to the station, did not remain silent as they had in the afternoon.

When Arisa learned that Nozomi had gone to Hanako's place and asked him the most questions about how to get along with girls, and wanted Hanako to give him advice, she was quite happy inside, even though she didn't show it.
