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

She glanced silently at the clock on the wall; it was only a little past four, still a long way from dinner time.

Well... if she wants to take a shower before having dinner, that's not impossible, but the most important thing is whether Mio will go to the bathroom with her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask.

"Mio~ You're all sticky, aren't you uncomfortable?"

"Yes, a little. What's wrong?"

Having already finished his juice, Xi Ling was a little curious as to why Fan Xia suddenly asked him that. He tilted his head and looked at her fair and pretty face.

"No, I was just thinking that since we still have a little time before dinner, maybe Mio and I could take a bath together or something, is that okay?"

She couldn't help but ask with a hint of anticipation.

"Eh? Of course you can. For something like this, you can just tell me directly, right?"

After saying that, he got up and planned to go back to his room to find a change of clothes.

Seeing that Xi Ling was cooperating with her, Fan Xia couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her lips and hum a cheerful little tune.

When Ximio returned to the living room with the clothes, he couldn't help but ask Fanxia, ​​who was still sitting calmly on the sofa.

"What's wrong? Weren't you going to take a bath? Why are you still sitting here, Fanxia-nee? Aren't you going to get your change of clothes?"

As a result, the moment he finished speaking, almost without any hesitation, Sister Fanxia grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands and pulled it up.

In the blink of an eye, she casually tossed those few thin clothes onto the floor and walked past Xi Ling, who was already stunned.

"Hurry up and come over here, Mio! What are you standing there for?"

"Oh? Okay, I'm coming..."

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that Fanxia had prepared something special and was waiting for him in the bathroom.

Just as Nozomi had entered the bathroom, intending to take a relaxing hot bath with Honoka,...

Downstairs, Arisa was relaxing in her room, lying on the soft bed, staring intently at her phone.

She finally managed to find the girl's social media account on the train. Although Arisa couldn't remember where she had ever had a conflict with her, that didn't stop her from treating it as a pastime.

Are she friends with some of the other girls in our class?

On that girl's personal page, she found a photo of the two girls she had met by chance at the coffee shop in front of the station and the person who tore up her test paper.

"As expected, it was premeditated~ Is it because of Mio? Or is it simply because she's jealous of me?"

Arisa was a little curious and muttered to herself.

I just don't understand what these girls with so much energy are thinking about, with their minds filled with all sorts of romance novels.

Lying on the soft bed, tossing and turning for a while, Arisa finally realized that it was time for dinner.

Once she realized this, her flat little belly couldn't help but protest.

Then, she moved her body, got off the bed, and walked towards the living room outside the room.

"Berlos~ Isn't it time for dinner yet? I'm so hungry!"

"Almost there! Miss Arisa, please wait a little longer."

All that could be heard from inside the kitchen was the cat maid's irritable reply.

Seeing that dinner wasn't ready yet, Arisa didn't intend to continue lying in bed to kill time. Instead, she sat on the sofa in the living room with her mother and watched the somewhat boring soap opera on TV.

After a moment of silence, she turned to Asumi and asked, "Mom, do you know why a girl you barely know would suddenly target you?"

Arisa thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. After all, before high school, she was always at ease wherever she went and was never disliked by anyone.

Upon hearing Arisa's question, Ami, who had been focused on the soap opera, was momentarily stunned.

Clearly, she hadn't expected her daughter to ask her about female social interactions until now.

After realizing what was happening, Ashi said quietly.

"Did something happen?"

"Well... something unpleasant happened, but it's still within my control."

Seeing that her mother was very curious about what had happened, she told Ashi in detail that her test paper had been deliberately torn up during the exam that day.

result……

"Hahaha~ I never thought you'd get your comeuppance! I thought the only one who could bother you was Himo."

Arisa's expression immediately turned sour after being thoroughly mocked by her own mother.

It's rare that she wanted to have a proper emotional exchange with her mother, but it seems she misplaced her trust.

Just as Arisa was about to get up and go back to her room, she was stopped by Asami beside her.

"what happened?"

"No, not at all~ It's rare for my daughter to come to me, her mother, for advice, so naturally I have to teach you what 'an eye for an eye' means~"

"Eh?"

Then, Arisa saw that her mother, who usually acted as if it were none of her business, had a rare serious look in her eyes.

"Alright, alright, come back and sit down. I was planning to teach you a lesson on how to teach those girls a lesson."

Chapter Ninety-Six: Nonsense

"Fanxia-nee...do I really have to do this? I feel so ashamed..."

"Don't worry~ Mio, you look so pitiful right now, like a wounded little deer~ Don't worry!"

In the bathroom, Fanxia had somehow gotten an air cushion and laid it on the bathroom floor.

Under her insistence, Nozomi had no choice but to obey and slowly climb onto the slippery, water-covered air cushion, turning her back to Honoka.

That round, smooth little bottom, with its perfect curves, was captured by a seasoned doujinshi artist, even sparking some more unrealistic ideas in her mind.

a long time.

After a good hot bath and cleaning themselves up, the two walked out of the bathroom, drying their wet hair with towels as they stepped onto the clean wooden floor.

Since Fanxia didn't bring any clean clothes into the bathroom, she had to wrap herself in a towel and go back to her room to change.

As for Xi Ling, after simply drying her light golden hair a few times, she went into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients before making dinner.

In the bedroom, she stood in front of the mirror, looking at the marks that Xi Ling had put on her body in the bathroom earlier.

"I didn't expect Mio to be so ruthless. It still hurts a little. Should I put some medicine on it?"

She muttered to herself, and although she was only saying things that were complaints, the expression on her face betrayed her true feelings.

After taking out the clothes she wanted to wear from the closet and putting them on, Fanxia stepped out of the room and smelled a very pleasant fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Driven by curiosity, she wanted to see what kind of dinner Xi Ling had prepared for her tonight, so she quietly went into the kitchen and silently appeared behind Xi Ling.

"Mio, what are you doing? I don't think I've ever smelled this before~" she suddenly said.

This startled Himo, who was focused on cooking in front of the stove. She glared at Himo and then scolded her playfully.

"Don't suddenly appear and scare me, Honoka-nee!"

"Okay, okay~ I'm sorry~ So, Mio, what dish are you making? It smells so good."

She looked on with curiosity at the pan filled with milky white broth. Apart from mushrooms, parsley, and cream, she couldn't name the rest of the ingredients.

However, Nozomi clearly didn't have time to pay attention to her. After giving Honoka a few perfunctory words, she kicked her out of the kitchen.

If Fanxia keeps causing trouble here and increasing his workload, it's hard to guarantee that he won't sweat again after taking a shower. He doesn't want to take another shower.

I don’t know how long it took.

Having finally finished the dish, Nozomi put on thick gloves and served the still-steaming soup to the table.

"Fanxia-jie, come and eat now! Fanxia-jie?"

Seeing that Fanxia remained unresponsive even after he called her several times, Ximiao couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, somewhat helplessly, he sighed, slowly walked forward, and asked softly.

"What's wrong with you again, Fanxia-nee?"

"..."

As you can see, Fanxia's fair and pretty face is puffed up with anger, as if she is sulking with him.

Seeing the puzzled look in Ximiao's eyes, she finally couldn't hold back and said to him in an annoyed tone.

"We were just being affectionate in the bathroom, and now Mio is turning her back on me!"

"Huh? Why would you say that?"

Xi Ling was completely bewildered when she was suddenly labeled a scumbag. What exactly did she do wrong?

Then, he remembered how he had been rude to Sister Fanxia in the kitchen earlier...

"No way?"

Now that we know the reason, it's easier to solve.

As expected, after seeing the boy approach, Xi Ling slowly sat down next to Fan Xia. She turned her head away as if she was sulking with him.

Just when Fanxia thought that Ximiao would apologize to her gently and comfort her wounded little heart.

A warm, soft, boneless little hand suddenly landed on her thigh.

Because she was only wearing a loose T-shirt and, as usual, no shorts, Himiko was able to touch her cool skin without any obstruction.

"Mio, what are you doing..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a force pushing her from the side, causing her to fall onto the sofa.

As for what happens next, it's quite simple. Just make sure to defeat Fanxia a few times before the carefully prepared creamy seafood soup cools down, and the rest will be easy.

a long time.

At the dining table, Fanxia sat obediently, her pretty face flushed and the look in her beautiful eyes as she gazed at the boy in front of her was almost drooling.
