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

Her pale blue eyes looked exceptionally clear in the sunlight, like the sky above the window, which made Arisa gaze at them in a daze.

But she quickly looked away and asked Ximiao.

"Did you enjoy today's photoshoot, Mio?"

"It's alright~ I'm used to facing the camera when taking photos with other people, so the clothes I wear for work are barely acceptable to me..."

As Hiyo rambled on about her feelings about the job, Arisa, who had already seen through everything, calmly spoke up.

"Most importantly, the pay is high, right?"

"Definitely! This is many times more than what I earn working at a convenience store."

When talking about the salary they received here, Nozomi got really excited and became quite animated.

Seeing Mio's money-grubbing attitude, Arisa couldn't help but laugh.

I wonder if he would have agreed if I had offered him money to support me back then? Maybe we wouldn't have had to wait this long and we could have slept together already.

Unfortunately, she didn't dare to try it; if she were disliked, it would be a loss.

She turned her head slightly to look out the window, pondering what she should do that afternoon.

It's a rare once-a-week date, so we can't just casually get through it.

however.

Before she could even think about what to do in the afternoon, the waiter brought the two fruit sundaes they had ordered to the table.

While they were enjoying lunch, Ms. Jiang, having finished her morning work, went to her boss's office as usual to report on her work.

She was very satisfied with Xiling's performance and naturally praised herself generously.

But today, the boss's reaction was a bit strange.

All that could be heard was the woman behind the desk speaking calmly.

"Thank you for your hard work. As for the work ahead and the route planning for Nozomi-kun, there may be some adjustments. Keep up the good work."

The reply was rather bland, even though she was the happiest person when she found Himiko before.

Chapter 41 Is Peros the Little Maid?

"Arisa...why did we come here?"

On the top floor of the mall, in a small open-air playground, Ximiao looked around curiously, not quite understanding why Arisa had brought her here.

But the girl pulled him along and headed straight for the small Ferris wheel that was slowly turning not far away.

"Since we're already out having fun, we might as well make the most of it!"

Seeing that Arisa was so interested, he didn't say anything more and joined the girl in queuing.

Until the two of them stepped into the Ferris wheel cable car, Himo thought that she just wanted to play with her at the amusement park for a while.

As the cable car doors are closed by staff, the ten-minute tour begins now.

Before Xi Ling could ask what she wanted to do later, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted towards her, and her mouth was immediately sealed by the girl's pink lips, leaving no gap.

She even roughly pried open Xi Ling's jaw, and a sweet taste filled Xi Ling's mouth, making his light blue eyes look somewhat dazed.

Looking at the boy who had been successfully won over by her with just a simple kiss, Arisa's soft and beautiful eyes revealed that she seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the process.

Even though Hiyo reached out to push away Arisa, who was biting her lip tightly, the lack of oxygen in her head made her feel dizzy.

Adding to the difference in their body sizes, he simply couldn't do anything to her.

Fortunately, when the cable car they were in reached the highest point of the Ferris wheel, Arisa, seeing the boy in front of her about to faint from suffocation, reluctantly let go of his mouth.

"Mio lasted longer this time than before~ Did you secretly practice your kissing skills?"

Her slender, pale fingers gently traced across her pink lips, and she seemed a little reluctant to leave.

Meanwhile, Himiko, who was panting heavily, glared at the girl with annoyance, seemingly displeased by her sudden attack.

"No!"

Despite his unfriendly tone, his gaze would occasionally steal glances at the girl's soft pink lips. This contradictory behavior pleased Arisa greatly.

But right now, half of their Ferris wheel ride has already been taken up by kissing, and if they want to continue, it will probably be...

Nozomi, who's easily embarrassed, will probably be angry.

As soon as the cable car doors were opened by the staff, Nozomi couldn't wait to get off the Ferris wheel.

The blush that appeared on the boy's fair face, and the presence of Arisa behind him, inevitably brought to mind some unpleasant thoughts.

The people queuing in front of the Ferris wheel looked at the two of them with complicated expressions, causing Ximiao to lower her head and quickly leave this place of trouble.

He finally found a bench to sit on and breathed a sigh of relief, then subconsciously reached out and touched his lips.

"What? Want to do it again~"

This scene was witnessed by Arisa, who had just returned from buying drinks, and she couldn't help but tease her.

"It's not impossible..."

"Eh?"

Now it was Arisa's turn to be dumbfounded.

How did he agree to something I just casually said?

Before she could react, a strand of light golden hair flashed before her eyes.

On her pink lips, besides a familiar soft touch, there was also the sweetness and coolness from the juice that Xi Ling had taken a sip of.

……

On the train to Shinjuku.

As if nothing had happened, Hiyo sat on Arisa's lap, resting her head on the soft teddy bear, and dozed off.

On the contrary, Arisa, who used to act like a seasoned veteran driver, is still not in a state of shock.

She silently looked at the boy in her arms. His peaceful sleeping face made it impossible to tell that he would actually sit up on his own.

but…

I don't dislike this feeling myself.

Before long, the tram arrived at the station, and Arisa gently woke up the dozing Nozomi.

The boy, still yawning and looking sleepy, walked out of the station with Arisa.

"So... what exactly do you want to show me, Arisa? You've been so mysterious the whole way, and you won't tell me."

Remembering what Arisa had said to him before he fell asleep, Nozomi asked curiously.

"Well, you'll see when you get there."

"Could it be that you taught Boros how to do a backflip?"

Since the purpose was to go to Arisa's residence, Nozomi couldn't help but start guessing.

The last time he saw that cat, it seemed to dislike its appearance, which made him feel a little regretful.

"Well, it is indeed related to Boros, but she should still be able to do a backflip, I guess."

When Ximio heard that she wanted to see Bailuos do a backflip, she smiled awkwardly, while in her heart she was thinking about how many dried fish she would need to make Bailuos obey.

After they arrived at the Kimpton Hotel and took the elevator to the floor where Arisa was staying,

Following behind Arisa, Hiyo entered the room, but froze on the spot when she saw a figure dressed in a maid outfit.

"This is?"

"Peros~"

Seeing the boy's reaction, which was pretty much what she had expected, Arisa couldn't help but smile and say something.

The girl, who was about the same height as him, had been cleaning the living room, but stopped what she was doing as soon as she heard Arisa return.

The pair of cat ears on her head and the tail under her skirt were just like the cosplay that Ximiao had seen online before.

But the look in her heterochromatic eyes when she looked at Xi Ling was exactly the same as when he last saw Bai Luo Si.

Before Ximiao could figure out what was going on, the maid who looked like Boros bowed slightly towards the door.

"Welcome back, Miss."

"There's more~"

"...Lady Nozomi, welcome to visit."

When she said those words, Hiyo clearly sensed that Pelos seemed very reluctant to say them.

But with Arisa watching her from the side, she could only grit her teeth and greet herself.

After taking off their shoes in the entryway, the two walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Peros went to get cups and poured tea for them.

"Arisa, is that girl really Peros?"

"Yeah, what's so strange about it? I gave her a place to stay and plenty of food, so what's wrong with her helping me with some housework?"

"I'm not saying this," Arisa said casually, with a hint of boasting. After taking a sip of the oolong tea on the table to moisten her throat, she continued speaking.

"Don't forget, I'm a demon! Turning a kitten into a human is a piece of cake for me!"
