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

Chapter Seventy-Five: Bitterness

After everyone had finished lunch and filled their stomachs, because Ami was also there, Arisa and Honoka, who had originally planned to stroll around, lost their desire to go shopping.

The two of them, quite in sync, took each other's hands and walked towards the mall entrance.

What puzzled Ximiao was that even though Aunt Ashi had come over specifically to apologize to Arisa, she seemed to be planning to continue staying at his place.

Asi simply watched silently, without saying anything.

On the train back to Roppongi.

Sandwiched between Arisa and Honoka, Nozomi couldn't help but turn her head to look at Arisa, who was looking down at her phone and doing something, and asked in a low voice.

"Hey~ Arisa, your aunt came all the way here to apologize, aren't you going home yet?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Arisa's expression was as if she had thought of something unpleasant, and she replied irritably.

"If her condescending apology counts as an apology, then I'd rather never go back!"

"Ah this..."

Just now in the restaurant, he saw that Arisa was talking to Aunt Ashi as usual, and he thought that the matter was over and done with.

Unexpectedly, the situation was far more complex than that.

Fanxia, ​​who had been quietly listening to their whispered conversation, couldn't help but chime in.

"Although I hate to admit it, this time... Mio, I think Arisa did the right thing."

"Huh? Even Sister Lian Fanxia..."

At this point, Ximiao couldn't say anything more and could only think about how to ease the tension between the troublesome mother and daughter.

Soon, the three of them returned to the apartment. After taking off her shoes in the entryway, Ximiao went straight back to her room, found some clothes, and planned to take a shower.

He was covered in the smell of cooking oil from the restaurant, which made him very uncomfortable. In addition, he had gotten up a little early in the morning, so he kept yawning and wanted to take a nap.

then.

Ximiao carried her change of clothes and went into the bathroom. In no time, the sound of running water could be heard.

As for Arisa, who was sitting on the sofa, she seemed to be waiting for something, her beautiful wine-red eyes glancing towards the entrance from time to time.

As soon as the doorbell rang, she couldn't wait and ran to the door.

Outside the door, there was still Beros dressed in a maid outfit, carrying large bags of luggage, panting heavily, looking exhausted.

After seeing that Arisa, who had run away from home, was safe and sound, the cat, who had been worried about its owner since yesterday, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, I've brought you a change of clothes and some daily necessities."

"Thank you for your help~"

After gently patting her cute little maid's head, she also helped carry several bags of luggage and let Beros go inside to rest for a while.

On the cushions in the living room.

Peros, kneeling beside the table, held a glass of iced oolong tea in his hand and sipped it slowly.

But her heterochromatic vertical pupils kept scrutinizing Fanxia, ​​who was leisurely watching TV nearby. She was curious as to why this snow woman, who had always been at odds with her young lady, would take in Arisa.

Can't figure it out...

But this didn't stop her from slightly increasing her liking for this guy.

Just as Boros was pondering whether he would be asked to leave after finishing this cup of tea.

The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped.

All that could be heard was Xi Ling walking out of the bathroom barefoot, wearing only a thin, oversized T-shirt, with a towel in her hands, drying her wet, light blonde hair.

When he entered the living room, he immediately saw the cat maid sitting on the cushion next to the small square table and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Isn't this Beros? What brings you here?"

he asked curiously.

Before Boros could answer, Arisa explained for her.

"I just asked Bailuo to bring me some clothes~ After all, we still have to go to school next week after the weekend, right? We can't just leave our school uniforms unwashed."

however.

Having clearly heard what Arisa was saying, Fanxia was completely taken aback, her pretty face showing utter shock.

"No... how long do you intend to stay here?! If you really can't, just accept your mother's apology!"

She regretted speaking up for Arisa on the tram earlier...

If Arisa stays here, she won't be able to take a bath with Mio, right?

Blood loss!

Arisa, unaware of what strange things Honoka was thinking, said without a care.

"Don't worry~ It'll be the beginning of next month, then I'll have some money and can find a place to stay. I won't be here for too long~"

Arisa assured Honoka that she did so because she herself didn't want to live a life of dependence on others for too long.

But Nozomi didn't care much about these things. She silently sat down on the sofa, ignoring the fact that her hair was still wet, and lay down directly on Arisa's lap.

Then, she put her little feet on Fanxia's legs, looking incredibly arrogant.

Fanxia, ​​who was about to complain, turned her head and saw what the boy was seeing under the disheveled hem of his clothes. He was unaware that she was about to see him.

She swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue and chose to quietly appreciate the moment. As for Mio putting her little feet on her body, Honoka had to say something.

Well done!

Arisa was still unaware of what Hio was doing, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused after he lay down on her lap.

"Mio, what's wrong with you?"

"I want to take a nap~ I feel a little sleepy, is that okay, Arisa?"

As he spoke, his clear, light blue eyes stared intently at the girl's pretty face, causing a blush to rise on her fair cheeks.

strangeness……

Why does Mio seem to have such a flirtatious look in her eyes today?

Arisa couldn't help but think to herself, "That's what I'm complaining about."

But unable to bear the boy's gaze, she had no choice but to accept the consequences of her thighs becoming sore and numb. She nodded and let Himio lie there.

This made Peros, who was watching this scene from the side, extremely envious.

You know, even she, a cat, has never enjoyed the privilege of having her owner's lap pillow...

For some reason, her hostility towards Himeko intensified.

Right here in the apartment, completely oblivious to what had just happened in the restaurant.

Ami, who was still sitting in the restaurant in Ginza, had already ordered her sixth iced coffee.

As she savored the bitter taste that lingered in her mouth, her gaze, filled with complex emotions, drifted out the window.

Author's Note: Private Marseille~ Just slacking off for a while.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Conversations Between Women

"Madam, how many installments are you planning to take out a loan to buy this apartment? As for the down payment... how would you like to make it?"

The real estate agent, with a fawning expression, looked at the beautiful woman in the black dress in front of him, his professional smile never faltering.

After all, this is a big client!

Asumi looked around at the decor and seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the apartment, but she thought it wouldn't be unacceptable if it were renovated.

Then, she took out a checkbook from her bag, wrote down the amount and her name.

"I bought it in full, and the property certificate will just say 'Chiya Arisa'."

"Yes! Thank you for your patronage~"

However, Arisa, who lives in the apartment upstairs, is unaware of this matter.

In the living room.

Contrary to what Boros had expected, after drinking the oolong tea, he remembered that the snow woman, who had always been very stingy and didn't get along with his young lady, didn't kick him out.

Or rather, the two people on the sofa were both firmly held in place by Ximiao, and they didn't even dare to speak too loudly, for fear of waking up the dozing boy.

Only an hour and a half had passed, and Arisa's thighs were already sore and numb, but Nozomi still showed no signs of waking up.

In contrast, Fanxia's situation seemed much more relaxed.

however.

As the alarm clock that Ximiao had set on her phone rang suddenly, it startled the two people on the sofa.

"Wow~ I slept so well! Arisa's legs are so weak."

Ximiao turned slightly to the side and buried her face in Arisa's equally soft belly, which made the girl scold her.

However, the pleasant citrus scent emanating from Arisa made Nozomi feel quite relaxed, but at the girl's urging, he reluctantly sat up.

His loose T-shirt slowly slipped off his smooth shoulders, but Ximiao didn't care. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and stretched vigorously.

Meanwhile, Arisa, who was finally freed from her lap pillow, tried to get up and walk around to relieve the soreness and numbness in her thighs, but found that she couldn't muster any strength.

I could only reach out and carefully rub it, trying to relieve the soreness.

"How about we order a pizza for dinner tonight?"

Rubbing her stomach, Xi Ling looked up at the time. It was almost five o'clock. Although she wasn't very hungry, she still couldn't skip dinner.

In addition, since she had agreed with Arisa yesterday to celebrate her good grades, Nozomi turned to Honoka and asked for her opinion.
