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

Anyway, she was going to the school on Monday in place of Nozomi's parent, and she would find out about this sooner or later. It would be better for her, as the person involved, to talk to Honoka properly and let her understand the situation before making any further decisions.

But unexpectedly, when Fanxia heard about this, she didn't react as Arisa had expected, by immediately throwing a tantrum.

Just as Arisa asked her why she could be so calm, Honoka replied dismissively.

"Isn't it because you're by Mio's side? What's there to worry about? I have more faith in the abilities of demons."

Such a simple sentence, little did anyone know how much shock it brought to Arisa, making her seriously suspect that this stupid snow woman had been possessed.

Or perhaps she was manipulated by her boss to the point of having brain problems; in any case, Arisa felt very strange.

So, she just said something sarcastic.

Are you out of your mind?

Fanxia immediately became angry and argued with her the whole way.

Author's note: It's late, I apologize everyone.

Chapter 101 The Person I Don't Want to See

"Ugh... why does it feel so chilly around me?"

Half-asleep, Ximiao seemed to sense something was amiss around her and, feeling a bit puzzled, wanted to open her eyes to see what was going on.

Then he remembered that he seemed to have fallen asleep right there on the sofa... without even brushing his teeth or washing his face!

Thinking of this, he immediately perked up, sat up abruptly, opened his eyes, and prayed that it wasn't morning yet.

Otherwise, the fact that he went to sleep without brushing his teeth or washing his face would definitely bother him all day.

Then, he opened his eyes and found himself somehow back in his bedroom, on his familiar, soft bed.

As for that chilly feeling, it was probably caused by Fanxia, ​​who was also lying on her side next to him, tightly hugging his arm.

After carefully freeing her arms from Fanxia's embrace, Ximiao glanced silently at the alarm clock on the bedside table, its hands barely visible.

It's only a little past midnight, so it seems I still have time to brush my teeth and wash up.

Thinking of this, Ximiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then tiptoed past the sleeping Fanxia and got off the bed.

He stepped barefoot onto the floor, then opened the door to the room and walked into the living room. To be honest, this was the first time he had sneaked out of here while Fanxia was asleep.

At this time of day, he would have been fast asleep long ago.

Thinking about it this way, Ximiao still felt a little inexplicably excited, but he did not forget his business. He tiptoed to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and the strange feeling in his heart finally dissipated.

However, after doing so, washing her face with cold water temporarily dispelled Hio's drowsiness.

Not intending to go back to sleep immediately, Ximiao leisurely sat down on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, turned the volume down to the minimum, and began to kill time.

The next day.

As sunlight streamed through the window, it shone on Fanxia's pretty face, who was still lying on the soft bed.

Perhaps because the sunlight was too dazzling, even without the jarring ringing of the alarm clock, she had no desire to continue sleeping and silently opened her beautiful eyes.

Then, she clearly saw the boy's peaceful sleeping face, and she couldn't imagine that he had suffered such a terrible thing yesterday.

After staring at Himo for a while, Honoka pushed herself up from the soft bed with both hands.

As usual, after getting out of bed, she went back to her room, rummaged through the closet for some clean clothes, and then planned to go to the bathroom for a relaxing hot bath to clear her head.

When Ximio woke up, Fanxia was already sitting on the sofa watching TV, drying her wet, silvery-white hair.

When she saw Xiling come out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes, she spoke to Xiling without hesitation.

"Mio, I'm hungry! Make me breakfast~"

"Okay~ I'll go brush my teeth and wash up first. Be patient and wait for me in the living room."

After saying that, Ximiao went to the bathroom to prepare. Although he didn't know what time Fanxia had returned last night, he still thought that he would make some breakfast for Fanxia, ​​something that would help her sober up.

Watching Himiko's departing figure, Fanxia, ​​sitting on the sofa, slowly put down the towel in her hand and picked up a comb to brush her hair.

a long time.

As Xi Ling brought the prepared breakfast to the table, Fan Xia, whose little belly was already protesting, couldn't wait to sit down in her seat.

Just as they were having breakfast, Sister Fanxia suddenly spoke to him.

"Mio, do you know that I need to go to school on Monday to meet with my teacher?"

"Eh?"

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing, so he tilted his head and asked with some curiosity.

"Why? It seems like the teacher didn't tell me..."

Seeing Nozomi's puzzled look, Honoka recounted to Nozomi what Arisa had told her on the way back to the apartment yesterday.

Although Arisa originally wanted to tell him herself, she saw Nozomi asleep on the sofa in the living room after entering the house with Honoka yesterday.

As a result, she was unable to properly tell Ximiao about meeting her parents and teacher on Monday.

"I see... I'm not too surprised. After all, although the purpose was good, this is still a serious fight. If it gets out, it will have a very bad impact on the school."

Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that they would ask the parents of the parties involved to come over and talk to the teachers.

but……

He silently turned his gaze to Fanxia, ​​who was sitting opposite him.

Since Ximiao came here to study alone, it was impossible for her parents to travel all the way from their hometown to come here.

Therefore, the things that happened on Monday naturally fell to Fanxia's shoulders.

He was still a little worried if it was just Honoka going alone, but since it was Arisa who said it, it meant that Aunt Ami would also be going with them on Monday.

With Fanxia by her side, Ximiao felt much more at ease. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened if she had to rely on such a socially awkward girl to cope?

After the two had breakfast, Ximiao returned to her room, intending to finish the homework assigned by her teacher.

Meanwhile, Fanxia, ​​who had also eaten and drunk her fill, sat on the sofa, picked up her tablet and stylus after a long absence, and began to work.

Normally, when Ximiao goes to school, she would go back to her room to finish her manuscript, but now, she still wanted to see Ximiao as soon as she came out of her room.

Just as the house was quiet, the doorbell, quite inconsiderately, rang.

Even a fool could guess who would be arriving at this time.

Perhaps because they had waited for a long time without receiving a response, the doorbell rang several times, sounding somewhat impatient.

All that could be heard was Ximiao calling out from inside the room towards the living room, "Fanxia-nee~ Could you please open the door~"

"Tsk!"

Although she was very reluctant, she had no choice but to open the door since Xi Ling had said so.

Fanxia sighed again before silently getting up from the sofa and walking towards the entrance.

As a result, when she opened the door, she saw a girl with a piece of freshly baked toast in her mouth and her schoolbag in her hand, smiling at her.

"Yo~"

"Tell me, what are you planning to do this time?"

Fanxia blocked the doorway, showing no intention of letting Arisa into the house.

Seeing this, Arisa wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she calmly took out her phone, opened her chat history with Nozomi, and handed it to Honoka to look at.

Then she said, "It was Mio who asked me to come over so we could do our homework together~ What? You have a problem with that?"

"..."

Now, Honoka had absolutely no reason to stop Arisa from entering the house.

The victorious girl, without any hesitation, pushed aside Fanxia, ​​who was blocking her way, took off her shoes, picked up her schoolbag, and went into the house.

Right in front of her, she went straight to Nozomi's room, making Fanxia so angry she could grind her teeth.

She remembered the cake she had specially bought for Xiling last night, which was still in the refrigerator. She had originally planned to tell Xiling about it before lunch, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Meanwhile, in her room, Ximiao instinctively turned her head to look after hearing the door open.

"Ah~ I just asked you if you wanted to come over and do your homework together, Arisa, why are you here so soon?"

Seeing that besides her schoolbag, Xi Ling was also carrying a slice of toast in her hand, and asked in an annoyed tone.

He had originally intended to change his clothes, but Arisa arrived so quickly that he was still wearing the oversized T-shirt he was using as pajamas.

As for what follows, the girl took in the sight of those fair thighs without an ounce of excess fat, which made Arisa unable to resist wanting to take advantage of this moment to continue her tenderness with Nozomi.

But before she could put her idea into practice, she heard Fanxia's voice from behind, her jealousy already boiling over.

"Mio~ Since you're doing homework with Arisa, come to the living room. I'm working too, so keep me company~"

After hearing what Honoka said, Nozomi picked up her textbooks and homework and went to the living room with Arisa.

Of course, if she hadn't seen Arisa's murderous glare, the outcome would have been even better—that's what Honoka thought.

Arisa's plan to spend some time alone with Nozomi was shattered, and she spent the entire morning diligently doing her homework in the living room.

As for some of the things she had thought about in her mind when she came, none of them could be realized.

until noon.

After sitting on the cushion for a long time, Ximiao couldn't help but stretch, then closed the exercise book in front of her and got up to prepare lunch.

However, before he could take a few more steps, a warm, delicate hand unexpectedly landed on his leg.

He strongly suspected that Arisa was doing this on purpose; otherwise, why would she ignore his hem and touch his leg instead?

Before Xi Ling could react, the girl spoke first.

"How about we go out for lunch? That would be easier, and we can let Fanxia and my mom talk about Monday's events. What do you think, Mio?"

"……Fine."

"Fanxia-nee... are you sure this is okay? You haven't even had a proper meal yet, and you've already eaten three fruit sundaes for dessert. Won't your stomach hurt?"
