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

"No."

For once, Nozomi showed a tough side in front of Arisa, resolutely rejecting the girl's idea of ​​escaping reality.

then.

The other guests in the restaurant would occasionally hear a girl let out a pitiful wail because of a math problem.

After a long time.

Because the opportunity to teach Arisa a lesson was too rare, and seeing the girl's troubled appearance made Nozomi quite addicted.

Before he knew it, the time he had initially planned to use for tutoring Arisa had passed.

On the tram.

The carriage was packed with commuters who were also leaving get off work at this time. In the narrow, enclosed space, in addition to the powerful air conditioning, there was also an unpleasant, faint smell of sweat.

But this is only very uncomfortable for other people.

Near the car door, Xi Ling was seen shrinking into a corner, trying her best to hide.

He was only two fingers' width away from Arisa, who stood in front of him, her imposing figure wrapped in a school uniform shirt.

After realizing that the distance was a bit dangerous, Ximiao turned her head away, trying her best not to look at the girl in front of her, for fear that she would not be able to handle such a shock.

However, Arisa did not think so. She was very dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude that Hiyo had shown when she was tutoring her earlier.

Although she understood that Himiko was doing it for her own good, she still felt a little resentful.

And now...

This scene reminded Arisa of herself when she first met Nozomi.

Back then, she didn't dare to do anything too outrageous to the cute boy in front of her, but now... well, that's a different story.

One of her slender arms was propped up to the side, and her thigh, tightly wrapped in over-the-knee stockings, was quietly pressed against the car door, in the gap between Ximiao's legs.

"Mio~ It's not too late for you to apologize to me now~"

The girl's soft, sweet voice gently rang in his ear.

"Eh?"

Not quite understanding what Arisa meant, Hiyo raised her head to look at Arisa, her light blue eyes filled with confusion.

Before Hio could react, Arisa suddenly lifted her thighs, sending her feet flying off the carriage floor and flailing wildly in mid-air.

"Weren't you just calling me an idiot, and you seemed to enjoy it? Mio, have you gotten a little too cocky lately? Can't you tell the difference between king and queen anymore?"

Before he could refute her, Arisa moved forward, and unsurprisingly, Nozomi's cheek was pressed against her softness, making it hard for him to breathe.

Even so, Arisa showed no intention of letting Nozomi go.

Taking advantage of the fact that Ximiao's movements were completely restricted by her, just like during dinner that night, her tail quietly climbed up Ximiao's smooth thigh, moving forward like a small snake.

Upon feeling the cool, slippery touch on her leg, Nozomi instantly understood what Arisa wanted to do. She struggled desperately, twisting her body, but it was all in vain.

What reached his nose, besides the faint smell of sweat from the girl, was that familiar, citrus-like perfume scent, which stirred Xi Ling's senses.

He tried his best to suppress the feeling of being teased by Arisa and to keep from making any embarrassing noises, but Arisa had already used a little trick to make everyone around them ignore them.

The reason she didn't tell Himo was because she wanted to slowly appreciate the contrast between the arrogant boy who was just moments ago in the restaurant and his current expression of utter shame and indignation.

With her dark tail and shorts, Nozomi's body trembled involuntarily, and she became extremely stiff.

When they arrived at Roppongi Station, Nozomi ran into the station's mother and baby room as if she were escaping, and Arisa, the culprit, naturally followed behind her.

After locking the door, Ximiao looked at her shorts, which were now ruined again, and suddenly raised her head, glaring fiercely at the girl leaning against the wall, who was still grinning mischievously.

"Arisa, you've gone too far! What am I going to do with my pants?!"

"Mio, you still have your gym shorts in your bag, right? Just change into them~ I can lend you my jacket if you want~"

After saying that, her beautiful wine-red eyes stared intently at the conflicted young man not far away.

They seemed to be anticipating his next move.

Speaking of which, ever since that incident, her boyfriend has never mentioned that kind of thing again, but his every move unconsciously teases her, making Arisa feel restless and itchy.

"It seems like today is a good day to have some fun~ What do you say, Mio?"

"Eh?"

Chapter 47 Weighing the Pros and Cons

With slightly trembling legs, Nozomi walked back to her apartment with difficulty.

He was still wearing Arisa's sports jacket to avoid being discovered that he was wearing gym shorts.

As he took out his key, opened the door, and stepped inside, the cool air that greeted him contrasted sharply with the sweltering heat outside.

He was slumped on the steps in the entrance hall, and even now, his waist and legs were still a little sore.

What Mio didn't expect was that Arisa would take advantage of her vulnerability and torment her at the station for several rounds...

If it weren't for the late hour, he probably wouldn't have escaped her clutches so easily.

Although it really is very comfortable...

Ximiao couldn't help but sigh, silently took off her shoes in the entryway, and then called out towards the living room.

"Fanxia-nee~ I'm back!"

The moment she heard that Nozomi had returned, Honoka, who had been slumped on the sofa like a lump of mud, sat up as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

Then she started complaining to the boy who had walked into the living room.

"Mio! I'm starving! Why is the study meeting going on so late today?"

"Well... I didn't expect Arisa to be so bad at math. It took me a little longer, and by the time I came to my senses, it was already so late."

He didn't hesitate to shift the blame onto Arisa, even though what he said was indeed the truth.

As for what he and Arisa did in the station's mother and baby room, he didn't dare tell Fanxia a single word.

After explaining to Fanxia why he was back so late, he quickly grabbed his schoolbag and went back to his room.

She changed out of the gym shorts she was wearing as a makeshift solution, then breathed a sigh of relief and calmly walked out of the room to make dinner for Fanxia.

With nothing else to do, Fanxia walked from the sofa into the kitchen and watched the boy in an apron preparing dinner.

But as she got closer to Himio, she suddenly stopped.

Unsurprisingly, she smelled that unique, citrus-like perfume scent on Hiyo.

Almost instinctively, she took a step forward and hugged Ximiao from behind.

That soft mass pressed directly against his back, the gentle touch from behind leaving Himio completely stunned.

"Sister Fanxia?"

"Don't move~ I need to completely cover up the scent of that bad woman on Mio!"

"Eh?"

Not understanding why Fanxia would suddenly say that, but since it didn't affect her cooking, Ximiao let her do as she pleased.

However... it's unlikely that Honoka-nee could completely cover up Arisa's scent, but he didn't say anything.

It wasn't until Xiling finished preparing dinner and placed it all on the living room table that she took off her apron and spoke to Fanxia, ​​who was already eager to eat.

"I specially made a hamburger patty today to make it up to you, Fanxia-nee~"

"compensate?"

Hearing what Xi Ling said, Fan Xia was immediately puzzled, not understanding why he would say that.

"Yeah, I came back too late today, and you had to wait for me for so long, Fanxia-nee. I have to make it up to you with something delicious~"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. The hot food made Ximiao, who had only drunk several drinks in the family restaurant and was also starving, very happy.

Seeing how much Xiling was enjoying her meal, Fanxia, ​​who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but smile and picked up her chopsticks to eat her dinner as well.

……

"Eh~ So that bastard... cough, Arisa's grades are that bad?"

When she heard Himo talking about school, she became inexplicably happy when she heard about Arisa's grades.

There was a hint of schadenfreude in his voice, which confused Himo a little, but she continued talking anyway.

"Of course! She gets called out and scolded by the teacher in almost every class. Watching her from the side, I feel sorry for Arisa."

"No wonder it took you so long to tutor her, Mio. It seems that you can't really blame her for coming back late. It's just that Arisa is too stupid."

After realizing that she had indeed wronged Himiko and that he had not lied to her, Fanxia, ​​who was sitting on the sofa, pulled Himiko into her arms.

"Then, as my apology, I'll give Mio a back rub later!"

She took the opportunity to say this to Himo.

"Hmm? Maybe we should just forget about it..."

"no!"

Despite Fanxia's insistence, Ximiao reluctantly took her change of clothes and followed her into the dressing room.

With a rustling sound, Xi Ling, who had taken off her clothes first, sat down in front of the shower in the bathroom without turning her head, and closed her eyes tightly on the small stool.

Fanxia knew beforehand that when Ximiao took a bath with her, even if Ximiao was wrapped in a bath towel, she would try her best to avoid seeing her body.

Before entering the bathroom, she hesitated for a moment, then, as if she had made up her mind, she reached out and untied the towel wrapped around her body.

Large swaths of her snow-white skin were exposed to the air, and perhaps because of the shyness rising in her heart, even her snow-white skin turned slightly red.

Even though she knew that Xi Ling wouldn't look at her, she still felt inexplicably nervous. She subconsciously covered her chest with her arm, then reached over Xi Ling in front of her and turned on the hot water.

In the bathroom, only the sound of hot water cascading down and the soft rustling of Fanxia using a bath sponge to wipe Ximiao's back could be heard.

I don’t know how long it took.

After washing themselves clean, the two soaked in the bathtub filled with hot water, and a blush appeared on their fair faces at the same time.
