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

"Okay, be careful on the road~"

On her way to school, in order to avoid the morning rush hour crowds on the tram, Nozomi deliberately left home earlier.

Because of the staggered travel times, the streets early this morning were only frequented by milk or newspaper deliverymen, who would occasionally ride their bicycles past him.

The private high school, St. Martin's, which she was going to attend, was only a 30-minute commute from Fanxia's apartment.

When Nozomi arrived at the school, it was probably still quite early, and the campus was very quiet.

Nevertheless, his gaze was drawn to the luxurious buildings before him, and he was slightly awestruck by them.

Soon, Ximiao came to her senses and, following the instructions on her admission notice, entered the corresponding teaching building, changed into indoor shoes, and went to her classroom.

In the classroom of Class A, Grade 1.

Without hesitation, Hio sat down in a window seat in the middle row.

As for the last row of window seats, also known as the "King's Seat," he wasn't particularly interested.

After all, he only has two options if he wants to attend this high school.

The options are either to maintain excellent grades and ensure the school's high college acceptance rate, or to pay exorbitant tuition fees.

Given his situation, his only option is to maintain his current performance.

In that case, Nozomi definitely wouldn't choose the last row.

then.

While it was still early, Ximiao quietly chose to lie down on her desk and doze off.

But it was precisely while he was dozing off that students began to enter the classroom.

Upon seeing Ximiao's striking light blonde hair, their reactions were remarkably consistent: they all paused for a moment before choosing their seats.

It wasn't until almost all the seats in the class had been chosen that Ximiao finally raised her head, looking sleepy and quite adorable.

Listening to the noisy chatter of his classmates, he looked around curiously and suddenly realized that the seat next to him was empty.

In other words, he is now the only one left in the class, without a deskmate.

What the hell?

Being ostracized by classmates on the first day of school?!

Don't...

However, just as Ximiao raised his head, revealing his exquisitely beautiful face, the girls in the class all gasped in unison.

Looking into those bright, light blue eyes, they couldn't help but regret not sitting down next to Ximiao while he was slumped over the table.

After all, at first, seeing his unusual hair color, everyone thought he was a delinquent and therefore didn't want to be his deskmate.

but now……

Several daring girls were already hurriedly packing their belongings, intending to move to the empty seat next to Nozomi.

however.

At that moment, a tall figure walked in slowly through the front door of the classroom.

Without the slightest hesitation, she sat down in the empty seat next to Ximiao, instantly dashing the hopes of all the girls.

Ke Ximiao could hardly believe her eyes.

Looking at the tall girl in front of him, dressed in the uniform of St. Martin's Private High School, he couldn't help but wonder if he was still dreaming...

But both her voice and the pleasant scent emanating from her body proved that she was the girl on the tram.

"I arrived so late, I thought I wouldn't be able to get a seat next to Mio~ Well then, nice to meet you~ Mio-kun?"

"Please...take care of me, Arisa...".

This name feels a bit strange...

Looking at the girl in front of her, who was happily tidying up her textbooks and putting them into her drawer, Nozomi couldn't help but recall the words she had said on the train earlier.

He vividly remembered that Arisa's answer to him back then was—

Who knows?

Suddenly, a blush appeared on his originally fair and smooth face.

During the subsequent freshman enrollment process, which involved introducing himself to his classmates, the blush on his face did not fade.

Then, he was naturally labeled by a group of girls as "introverted, innocent, cute, shy," and so on.

However, Nozomi herself was unaware of this matter.

until the afternoon.

At the freshmen commencement ceremony.

Sitting next to Arisa, Hiyo looked at the delicate hand that was resting naturally on her thigh and wanted to quietly remove it.

But that's the result.

Even Kiyo's own two little hands were pinned to his thighs by Arisa, who was bored and wanted to bully him, making him unable to move.

Fortunately, everyone else's attention was focused on the stage, and they didn't notice their embarrassing situation.

After struggling to no avail, Nozomi simply gave up and let Arisa's hand rest on his thigh.

Soon, after he stopped resisting, he realized it was pointless to bully the girl any longer, so he removed his hand.

Just when Ximio thought the girl would let him go, she took advantage of the moment when the principal finished his speech and everyone was applauding to lean her head close to his ear.

Then he heard Arisa's soft and charming voice speaking slowly and deliberately in his ear.

"Don't go after school!"

tension.

An unprecedented tension.

In the classroom, Himo sat somewhat awkwardly in her seat.

He could be seen glancing at Arisa, who was chatting with her new friend, out of the corner of his eye every now and then.

At this moment.

Xi Miao's mind was filled with thoughts of what the girl had whispered in his ear during the freshman orientation ceremony—what did that mean?

In fact, I've started to feel that every minute and every second I'm waiting here is torture.

at last.

After Arisa's friend waved goodbye and left, only the two of them remained in the 1-A classroom, sitting in their seats.

It was at this moment that the girl, who had been deliberately keeping her distance from Hiyo, finally turned her attention to the boy who looked very nervous and only dared to steal glances at her out of the corner of his eye.

Kiyo's innocent appearance immediately stirred up wicked thoughts in Arisa's heart, making her want to bully this simple and cute boy in front of her.

then.

Arisa, who immediately had an idea in mind, couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a mischievous smile.

Her beautiful, wine-red eyes were fixed on his handsome profile, and she couldn't help but tease him.

"Mio is such a good girl~ She's been so obedient and stayed~ Just like a little puppy~"

"N-no, it's not a puppy! It's because you, Arisa, told me not to leave after school!"

This condescending attitude, treating her like a little puppy, made Himiko feel extremely ashamed, and she looked at Arisa with some annoyance.

However, the moment he looked at Arisa, her long arm suddenly stretched out and braced itself against the window behind her with a "smack".

"Eh?"

Ximiao was stunned, and the anger that had just risen within her vanished instantly.

What's happening here?

Are you going to pin someone against the wall without warning?

Alisa, who was already much taller than him, was practically pressing down on him in this position, creating a truly oppressive atmosphere.

The pleasant scent emanating from the girl, and her increasingly close face, made his heart beat faster and faster.

As Arisa drew closer and closer, their soft lips about to touch, she abruptly stopped.

The two locked eyes, the atmosphere incredibly intimate. All it took was for Ximiao to gently lean her head forward and feel the softness of the girl's pink lips.

But he didn't do that...

As if anticipating his reluctance to step forward, Arisa parted her pink lips slightly and spoke softly.

"Do you remember what you told me on the train, Mio, about the wish you wanted to fulfill when you got to high school?"

"...Yes, of course I remember."

He certainly remembered what he had said, and now, looking back, it was practically a confession to Arisa.

Even if he wanted to forget, he couldn't!

However, what happened next completely stunned Himo.

Behind the girl, a pair of jet-black, bat-like wings inexplicably appeared.

A pair of horns resembling those of a goat sprouted from her long, smooth, black hair.

A dark tail that looked like it had a leathery texture had somehow wrapped around his thigh.

"Arisa... classmate?"

"As you can see, I am a demon~ So, Mio, you should know that if you make a wish to a demon, you have to pay the corresponding price, right~"
