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

She could clearly feel the softness of Xiaojuan's buttocks and the still-warm body temperature of Ximiao after her bath.

"Waaah~ Fanxia-neechan, you feel so cold, and your shoulders are so stiff! If this keeps up, you'll easily get frozen shoulder..."

Without using any force, he wouldn't be able to press down on her stiff shoulders at all, and a hint of worry showed on the boy's delicate face.

"Well... I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to go to my usual shop to get a massage. A manga artist's shoulders and wrists are easy to strain."

Although her serialized works were very popular and money kept flowing into her bank account, she couldn't keep up with working on the manuscript every day!

Thinking of this, she sighed silently. If only Mio could give her a massage like this every day…

"How about I give you a shoulder massage every day, Fanxia-nee?"

"Eh?"

"Of course, not like this, otherwise I'll catch a cold."

"Also, I hope that you, Fanxia-nee, can stop being so childish. You should act like a cool older sister sometimes!"

Completely unaware of how alluring her words were, Nozomi continued her attentive massage service.

But that didn't stop Fanxia from blurting out what she really wanted to say at that moment.

"Marry me, Mio!"

"It's reversed, shouldn't it be Honoka-nee marrying me~"

"It's not impossible."

Nozomi didn't take these words to heart, taking it as Honoka joking with him.

Chapter Six: Unexplained Restlessness

As the bell rang, the last class of the morning came to an end.

Lunch break.

The students in the class either ran out of the classroom to buy fried noodles and bread from the convenience store, or gathered in twos and threes to eat their lunch boxes.

Just as the group of girls huddled together, carrying their lunchboxes, intending to find Nozomi, who was sitting in her seat, to eat together.

The group happened to witness Arisa placing her lunchbox on Nozomi's table.

They were stunned.

no…

Can't we just have some fun anymore?!

You're not giving them any chance at all, are you?

Arisa's actions were undoubtedly a declaration of her sovereignty over Nozomi to the girls in the class.

However, without thinking too much about it, Nozomi opened the exquisite bento box and found that there was only a pair of chopsticks inside.

But looking at the size of the lunchbox, he immediately realized that Arisa had probably packed two lunches into one lunchbox.

"Why is there only one pair of chopsticks, Arisa?"

"Huh? There's only one pair?" she said, feigning surprise.

In reality, Arisa never intended to prepare an extra pair of chopsticks for him from the very beginning.

"I'll go to the convenience store now and see if they have any disposable chopsticks."

As a result, just as he was about to stand up, the girl next to him grabbed his wrist.

The boy looked up in confusion, only to see Arisa looking like she was about to cry, which startled Nozomi and made her panic.

"Wh...what's wrong, Arisa?"

"Mio, you dislike me..."

"How can I not!"

"Then why won't you use the same chopsticks as me? Aren't I your girlfriend?!"

Upon hearing what Arisa said, he realized that this was what the girl cared about.

As soon as Xi Ling sat down again, she reached for her chopsticks, picked up a small octopus sausage, and held it to the girl's lips.

"I'm...I'm sorry, it's not that I dislike you, Arisa, it's just...indirect kissing and stuff..."

As he spoke, a blush suddenly appeared on his cute face. His shy appearance made the hearts of the girls who were stealing glances at him melt.

Without the slightest hesitation, Arisa took a bite, and even deliberately stuck out her soft tongue, leaving her mark on the chopsticks in front of him.

Even so, Nozomi didn't say anything. She just silently picked up a piece of tamagoyaki and put it in her mouth.

I don't know why, but it feels unusually sweet.

Is this the scent of a seductive demon?

He couldn't help but think that.

In just the time it took to have lunch with Arisa, the news that the two of them were dating spread throughout the entire class.

Looking at this couple with such a huge height difference, the first image that comes to the girls' minds is... the petite Nozomi being cornered and pinned against the wall by the tall Arisa, with an adorable expression on her face...

Eh?

It sounds pretty good...

I'm blown away!

The girls' initial disappointment upon discovering that their boyfriends were already taken vanished instantly.

The two, completely unaware of this, were sitting in their seats, looking at the club recruitment flyers in their hands.

In the afternoon, due to a club visit activity, we could barely count as having half a day of classes. The rest of the time was devoted to recruitment activities by various clubs.

"Mio, are there any clubs you're interested in?" Arisa asked the boy beside her, seemingly wanting to know what Mio was interested in.

Understanding your boyfriend's interests and hobbies is also an important part of the process.

But clearly, having learned her lesson, Hiyo didn't answer directly, but instead asked Arisa.

"Yes, there are, but I'd also like to know, Arisa, which one would you choose?"

"Eh~ Me? I'd probably choose the girls' basketball team. Mio doesn't have to choose the same one as me~"

After realizing the reason for his question, Arisa quickly dispelled his concerns.

Although I really want to be with Mio all the time~

But if you're too controlling, it might scare him, and then it would be counterproductive.

"I see... then I'll go to the soccer club."

"So, Mio, you're interested in soccer!"

"After all, I used to play soccer with my friends back in my hometown~ But, Arisa, if you chose basketball, with your height, you'd be really good at it!"

He looked at the girl beside him with some envy. Although he said he was fine, he was still very concerned about his height.

Even though he tried to hide it well, Arisa still noticed the slight change in his expression.

"Actually... Mio, you can make a wish to me to grow taller, okay?" she suddenly said.

"Huh? You can do that?!"

"Of course~ I'm a demon~ But I won't grant you that wish."

Before he could ask why, Arisa reached out and pulled him into her arms, pressing his head against her soft teddy bear.

"After all, my favorite is the tiny, super cute Nozomi-kun~"

"Cute... isn't it?"

"Of course!" Her firm tone made Ximiao, who was in her arms, begin to like her own cute appearance.

"Actually, there's something else I'm curious about... Mio, why weren't you scared at all when you heard I was a demon?"

Thinking back to yesterday, the boy accepted the fact that she was a demon quite naturally, which made her a little curious as to why.

He explained calmly, "I've seen older sisters like Arisa before, but only I can see them."

"Eh?"

"After I told the adults in the village about this, they became very panicked. They thought I was possessed by something evil, which is why I came to Xijing to study in high school."

Hearing his explanation, Arisa immediately understood. It seemed that the cute boy in her arms was not as simple as he appeared.

Although it cannot be confirmed, there is definitely something about Himeko that can attract these non-human beings.

But what does this have to do with her lusting after Nozomi's body?

"Let's go! Everyone's left the class, let's go check out those clubs!"

She loosened her grip on Ximiao's arms, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Um…"

Looking at Arisa's soft pink lips, he felt an urge to kiss them for some reason.

Just as the girl got up, intending to go for a walk with Ximiao, he suddenly grabbed the hem of her school uniform.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

His eyes darted around, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he stammered as he spoke to Arisa.

"Today...it seems we haven't..."
