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

"Then I'll have a fruit sundae and a lemon tea."

Just as the two of them had ordered all the snacks they wanted, it was clear that Mio had just opened her mouth, about to say something to Arisa, when she was interrupted by a somewhat unfamiliar voice.

"Oh my~ Isn't this Arisa and Mio? What a coincidence! Are you also planning to grab something to eat before heading back?"

Xi Ling looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures he didn't recognize walking into the store and heading in their direction.

Before they came forward, Hiyo whispered to Arisa.

"Who are they? Do you know Arisa?"

“They’re our classmates! Mio, you didn’t even know that?” Arisa looked at Mio in disbelief, seemingly surprised that he hadn’t been able to recognize everyone in the class after all this time.

Before Ximiao could answer, the two girls found seats next to them and started chatting with Ximiao and Arisa in a very familiar manner.

"I didn't expect that you two, Arisa, would come back here after your club activities~ Are you having a study session?"

"Huh? Why do you say that? Mio and I just came here for a drink."

"Hey~ I thought Nozomi was here to tutor you, and I was even thinking of auditing her class."

The girl said, feigning disappointment, completely ignoring Arisa's increasingly gloomy expression.

On the contrary, the fine sweat that Xi Ling had already wiped away with a handkerchief was now reappearing on his forehead.

So much so that the rare moments he could spend alone with Arisa in a restaurant outside became extremely agonizing.

After the two of them entered the station and boarded the tram back to the apartment, Himo finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but whisper to Arisa, who was sitting behind him.

"You seem to be in a bad mood. Is it because of those two girls earlier?"

"Huh? No, I just don't like what they say. They attribute my good grades to you, Mio, tutoring me, as if I didn't put in any effort at all."

Thinking about this, Arisa got angry, not to mention that the two of them wanted to interfere with her and Mio's private tutoring time.

The fact that Arisa didn't seek revenge on the spot was already a huge concession on Arisa's part, considering that Mio was also present.

After hearing the girl's explanation, Nozomi finally understood why Arisa had looked so angry earlier. However, he hadn't expected Arisa to be so possessive.

It's hard to imagine how she and Fanxia could coexist peacefully. Who knows, maybe the two of them had a fight to settle things somewhere he couldn't see.

Unaware that she had already perfectly guessed the answer, Nozomi leaned back slightly and rested her head on Arisa's soft, round body.

"Since they mentioned tutoring, how about they come to my house for tutoring tonight?"

"Huh? Can't you come to my room?"

Arisa was taken aback for a moment, then asked Nozomi for her opinion, hoping that the tutoring could be held in Nozomi's room, so that it would be convenient for her to do some bad things.

However, it was clear that Nozomi's mind was not on doing such things, and she resolutely rejected Arisa's suggestion.

"I don't want to go to your place, Arisa. You'll definitely be thinking of doing something bad again."

"Eh--"

Ignoring Arisa's protests, Nozomi slowly closed her eyes and took a nap while riding the train.

a long time.

Before getting tutoring, Xi Ling needed to figure out what to do for dinner, as well as for Fan Xia. So, she and Arisa parted ways at the elevator and went home to have dinner first.

At the apartment door, Xi Ling skillfully took out her key from her pocket and opened the door. Fortunately, she had been mindful of the time and hadn't come back too late.

In the entryway, instead of seeing Fanxia's accusing face, Ximiao relaxed in the comfortable air conditioning and sat on the steps, taking off her shoes.

I could faintly hear the sound of a television playing an evening program coming from the living room; it was probably Fanxia watching TV.

then.

Nozomi called out towards the living room.

"Fanxia-neechan, I'm back~"

Chapter 92 Everything has to be compared!

"Yo~ Mio, you're back! It's a little late today, but still within acceptable limits~"

She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and noticed that the hour hand hadn't yet pointed to the "six" position, but Fanxia didn't pay too much attention to it.

"After all, you just lectured me, Fanxia-nee~ I can still handle this little thing."

Hearing Fanxia, ​​who was sitting on the sofa, teasing her like that, Ximiao felt a little embarrassed, scratched her head, and then said...

"After dinner, Arisa will come over to our place."

"Eh?"

"After all, I'm helping her with her studies... It wouldn't be good if she got complacent just because she passed the midterm exam."

After saying that, without waiting for Fanxia's agreement or willingness, Xiling went into the kitchen and started rummaging through the ingredients in the refrigerator to prepare dinner for the evening.

downstairs.

Inside the apartment where Arisa lives.

Arisa, who had also returned home, heard her mother and Boros's childish voices coming from the living room as soon as she entered the door. They sounded like they were arguing.

then.

As soon as Arisa entered, she quickly took off her shoes, walked down the hallway, and headed towards the living room to see what was going on.

As soon as she entered the living room, she saw two figures, one tall and one short, simultaneously vying for a cake that was perfectly placed on a plate.

The fresh, large strawberries on top of the cream immediately caught Arisa's eye.

However, she still remembered what the important matter was and asked quietly.

"What are you two doing? Are you going to argue so fiercely over a strawberry cake?"

"This isn't just an ordinary strawberry cake!"

Boros retorted without hesitation, a stark contrast to his usual submissive attitude towards Asi and her daughter, Arisa.

This left Arisa stunned, as if she wanted to hear what Arisa would say next.

The unusually agitated Peros continued speaking.

"Miss Arisa, you've gone to school, so you don't know, this is the thirteenth strawberry cake that Madam has wanted!"

"what?"

No, Mom, you've given up on yourself and don't want to manage your figure anymore?

She looked at her mother with such a suspicious gaze, but she couldn't see anything strange about Asumi's face, not even the slightest bit.

Then, the person involved said...

"I specifically asked a friend to buy this strawberry cake from that newly opened trendy dessert shop in Asakusa! I paid for it, I bought it, so why can't I eat it?!"

Yes, she was very confident and Arisa couldn't find any fault with it. Then she turned her gaze to Berlos, who was standing to the side.

"So, after all that talk, why did we have to fight over the last piece of cake? Mom's already eaten thirteen pieces, and you, Peros, don't usually eat this kind of thing..."

Arisa clearly remembers that her cat likes salty things, like dried fish. Could it be... puberty?

Before she could continue her wild thoughts, Berlusconi was still no match for Ays's strength, especially considering the difference in height.

In just a moment, the strawberry cake on the plate, unsurprisingly, ended up in Ashi's hands.

Then, Arisa heard what Peros was saying in a low voice.

"I really wanted to save a piece of cake for Miss Arisa..."

"Oh, I see~"

Feeling relieved, Arisa smiled and stepped forward to rub Boros's soft cat head.

"Thanks~ But I've already had dessert outside."

She had barely finished speaking when she heard her mother say something lightly from the side.

"Oh? Then can I eat the piece of cake that I specially saved for you?"

"Huh?" ×2

a long time.

After the strawberry cake farce was over, Peros obediently went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the evening.

As for Arisa, she carried the strawberry cake that the two of them had specially saved for her, and sat on the sofa with Ami, eating the cake in small bites.

"By the way, Mom, you've eaten so much cake, will you be able to eat dinner later?"

She asked with some curiosity, her gaze involuntarily shifting to Ashi's flat stomach, wondering if all that stuff would make it bulge.

"Relax, relax~ As everyone knows, desserts and other things are packaged separately. However, when you came back, my silly daughter, I saw the slight displeasure on your face."

Although Arisa hid it very well, her mother still saw through her little scheme.

Even the slightest change in his eyes did not escape Ashi's notice. While Boros was busy in the kitchen, Ashi asked him if something had happened earlier.

Arisa nodded and told her mother about the unpleasant thing that happened to her in the coffee shop.

Of course, she also mentioned that she would be going upstairs to have tutoring with Ximiao and the others after dinner.

"Well~ it seems that Nozomi also knows what will happen if I go to your room for tutoring~ What should I do? Arisa, you are completely under Nozomi's control."

"No way... I'm a devil! How could I let him control me?!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes~"

Seeing her mother's perfunctory attitude, Arisa decided not to continue arguing with her about the matter.

In the end, she'll be the one who's so angry she'll vomit blood...

I don’t know how long it took.

With a knock coming from the entrance, Nozomi, knowing it was Arisa, hurriedly ran to open the door.

Outside the door, Arisa, who was holding the homework assigned by the teacher that day and several reference books, couldn't help but smile slightly when she heard footsteps behind the door.

Then came the sound of a door lock being opened, and there was a boy who had changed into casual home clothes, looking at himself with a hint of joy.

Beneath the oversized T-shirt, her fair, smooth legs, without an ounce of excess fat, came into view, catching the girl's eye.

In Arisa's opinion, the only good thing Honoka taught Nozomi was that it benefited her, as her girlfriend.
