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

After saying that, she took out a large, pure white sweatshirt and a light gold hair tie, almost the same color as Xi Ling's hair, from the closet and threw them onto the bed.

"This is……"

He could understand the hoodie part, assuming it was something Arisa would be wearing later.

But the thing next to her that looked like a cat's tail had several smooth steel balls of different sizes on it... This touched on a blind spot in Hio's knowledge.

It was at this moment that Arisa's words completely stunned Nozomi.

"These are the clothes you'll be wearing later, Mio~ And you have to take a few pictures of me to remember this~"

Originally, he planned to have Xi Ling put on this outfit so that he could completely take advantage of her. The last time he only had a fleeting taste, she had been feeling uncomfortable for quite a while.

Unfortunately, on Friday, which was yesterday, Hiyo took such a big fall on her way home that Arisa lost her chance to give the boy a good beating.

But Arisa wouldn't let him off so easily.

Immediately afterwards, from the bedroom on the second floor came a painful groan from Himeko, and then Arisa's satisfied laughter.

Meanwhile, downstairs, while doing housework, Beros couldn't help but sigh softly. He glanced at his own fluffy tail, wondering why Arisa wasn't interested in it.

However, the owner's affairs are not something a cat like her can decide.

All I could see was a soft bed on the second floor.

Completely exhausted, Xi Ling collapsed onto the soft pillow. The clothes he was wearing had been thrown aside, replaced by a loose, oversized white hoodie.

Because of the discomfort caused by wearing the tail, there were still tears that hadn't been wiped away from his beautiful, light blue eyes.

"It's too much..."

He was still muttering to himself, looking resentfully at the girl changing her clothes not far away.

As Arisa took off her thin black slip dress, her fair skin was revealed to Nozomi without any concealment.

The softness, free from the constraints of clothing, is like a giant pudding topped with strawberry jam.

Upon seeing this scene, Xi Ling's fair face flushed red, and she felt a dryness in her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, his expression changed drastically, as if he had noticed the changes in his body and the discomfort caused by wearing the tail was becoming increasingly intense.

Not far away, seeing Nozomi's eyes gradually becoming unfocused, Arisa couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"This outfit doesn't really suit you~ Besides, Mio, you said yourself that I'd do anything to help you and Honoka reconcile~ Are you trying to renege on your promise?"

"..."

Upon hearing what Arisa said, the complaints that were already on the tip of his tongue were immediately swallowed back down.

Thinking that he could do as Arisa said and seriously apologize to Honoka for the hurtful things he said impulsively last night.

Arisa simply made him wear some strange outfits... which wasn't unacceptable to him.

Chapter Sixty: Riddler, you're all dead!

ding dong~

After ringing the doorbell, Fanxia, ​​still somewhat uneasy, carried an exquisite gift box in her hand, containing a strawberry cake she had bought on her way here.

She even prepared a strawberry cake for Arisa, just enough for one person, as a small token of her affection for Honoka.

I wonder if the two of them will like it... Fanxia couldn't help but think.

Then she heard hurried footsteps coming from inside the house, and immediately became very alert.

The door was suddenly flung open, and what came into her view was Arisa, who had changed her usual style and tied her hair back.

Her originally playful and cute side ponytail has been transformed into a high ponytail that is less likely to get dirty, with her jet-black hair tucked behind her ears.

Arisa subconsciously licked her pink lips, then looked at Fanxia standing in front of the door with a meaningful smile in her beautiful wine-red eyes.

"Oh my~ Honoka, you came so quickly! And you even brought a gift?"

"Oh, I just happened to see this on my way here. It looks like a really delicious strawberry cake. Let's eat it together later."

Although she hated Arisa, who had taken Hiyo away from her, now was not the time to be angry with her.

With a forced smile, Fanxia greeted Arisa and then eagerly took off her shoes, picked up the box of strawberry cake in her hand, and went inside.

In the huge living room, one could see...

Wearing a pure white hoodie, Xi Ling's face was inexplicably flushed. She sat on the sofa with her fair and plump legs tightly pressed together.

But what caught Hana's attention the most was the fluffy tail behind Himo, which was the same light gold color as his hair.

Looking at Mio's uncomfortable expression, if she wasn't mistaken, this was clearly a plugin with a special purpose.

When Nozomi saw Honoka staring intently at the tail behind her, she quickly reached out and moved it under a cushion, saying somewhat awkwardly.

"Fan... Sister Fanxia, ​​you're here..."

"Mio..."

Thinking of the breakfast that Xi Ling had specially made for her this morning, Fan Xia decided to postpone the matter of the tail behind the boy and wanted to apologize to him.

however.

Before she could speak, Xi Ling, who was sitting on the sofa, reached out and grabbed Fan Xia's wrist, making her sit down next to her.

Just as she was wondering what Xi Ling was going to do, she found the boy looking at her with a serious expression.

"About last night... I'm so sorry for what I said to you, Fanxia-nee! You were just trying to show you care, but I said such hurtful things..."

Seeing that Xiling was apologizing to her, she quickly replied as well.

"Actually, I was also at fault... It wasn't entirely your fault, Mio. Also, the cheeseburger patty this morning was really delicious~"

As she spoke, she reached out and ruffled Xi Ling's hair, indicating that she no longer cared about what he had said last night.

Although she was still annoyed that Hiyo and Arisa were having an affair, she shouldn't vent her anger on Hiyo.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Arisa, who was standing by the sofa watching the show, but Arisa's beautiful wine-red eyes seemed completely unconcerned about her gaze.

Seeing this, she turned her gaze back to Xi Ling and said softly.

"Oh right! I bought a strawberry cake on my way here. Anyway, it's still early, and lunchtime is still a while away. Mio, why don't you have some dessert to tide you over!"

"cake?"

Upon hearing what Fanxia said, Ximiao realized that when Fanxia came over earlier, she seemed to be carrying an exquisite gift box.

Oh, it was strawberry cake inside!

Just as Ximiao was about to get up and open the box, he suddenly remembered the cat tail that Arisa had attached to his body, and a blush immediately appeared on his fair face.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Don't you like strawberry cake?"

When Honoka saw that Hiyo had gotten up halfway and then suddenly sat down again, she was startled, thinking that he didn't like the dessert she had bought.

However, when she saw Ximiao's strange expression and noticed that his gaze kept glancing behind him intentionally or unintentionally, Fanxia understood.

Presumably, that tail was Arisa's doing...

It has to be said that this devil is quite skilled at bullying Nozomi.

Without pointing out Mio's current predicament, Honoka sighed silently and was about to bring him the cake.

Arisa, who had been standing by watching the two reconcile since earlier, suddenly spoke with a mischievous grin.

"Let Mio take it herself~ You can't spoil him too much, Honoka~"

"Eh?"

Still not understanding why Arisa would say that, Fanxia saw Nozomi standing up beside her, suppressing her embarrassment, and bending down to unpack the cake.

Beneath the pure white hoodie, the light golden tail drooped there, giving Fanxia an irresistible urge to reach out and tug it, to see how Nozomi would react.

It was at this moment that Arisa quietly sat down beside her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.

"Oh dear, Miss Yuki-onna, aren't you going to tell Nozomi your true identity yet?"

"This is none of your business!"

"Really? I was thinking of giving you a chance because you're so pitiful, but it seems I don't need to anymore."

Thinking back to the last time, when she was sick with a fever and went to his place for the first time, she felt a pang of guilt. She had easily made Honoka make a wish, and that was the price she had set on a whim.

A playful smile couldn't help but appear on her pretty face.

"Opportunity? What are you talking about?"

Confused, Honoka couldn't understand what Arisa was saying, but judging from her personality, it couldn't be anything good!

"I suddenly don't want to talk about it anymore~"

"..."

If she hadn't known she couldn't beat this demon, Fanxia would definitely have said something like, "Riddler, go to hell!"

While the two women were whispering to each other, Xi Ling, who had already unwrapped the cake, sat back down on the sofa and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that the oversized overcoat he was wearing had a long enough hem.

Even though he bent down just now, Fanxia wouldn't have noticed that he was currently in a vacant position.

Ximiao subconsciously reached out and wiped the fine sweat that had appeared on her forehead due to nervousness, and then spoke to the two people beside her.

"Alright~ Can we eat cake now?"

Arisa, who had stopped whispering to Honoka, quickly responded.

"Of course~"
