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

"Pizza, huh? Sounds good."

Fanxia awkwardly withdrew her gaze, put on a serious expression, and said this.

"Then, Boros, why don't you stay for dinner before you leave?"

After saying that, Xi Ling reached out to take the opportunity to rub the cat maid's head, but she dodged it.

This startled Ximiao for a moment, but when he saw the evasive look in Bailuos's eyes, he understood what was going on and didn't insist any further.

"…Thanks."

The cat maid whispered to Xi Ling.

……

That night.

Because Ximio had taken a shower in the afternoon, after having a pizza dinner, he lay on the sofa and planned to rest for a while.

As for Arisa and Honoka... the two of them went to the bathroom together, seemingly wanting to take a bath together.

Thinking about how, after dinner, Arisa forcibly dragged the reluctant Honoka into the bathroom, Nozomi couldn't help but want to see some fun.

He was curious about how Honoka would handle Arisa's warm hospitality, but he could only speculate wildly in the living room.

Listening to the constant sound of hot water flowing from the bathroom, Xi Miao silently closed her eyes and dozed off. She always seemed to get sleepy after a big meal…

in the bathroom.

The two people, who were facing each other honestly, were sitting on their respective small stools.

Arisa was still holding a bath sponge covered in shower gel, gently rubbing Fana's smooth back.

Not long after.

Huge amounts of foam slid from the two people's fair bodies onto the floor, creating a rather erotic scene.

Fanxia, ​​her face flushed, sat in front and said somewhat angrily.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Don't think so badly of me~ It's just a back massage, consider it a thank you for letting me stay~"

Arisa, who was behind, explained it to Honoka in this way, but the slight upturn on her pretty face revealed her wicked thoughts to the fullest extent.

After rinsing off all the foam from her body with the showerhead, it was Arisa's turn to sit on the bench in front.

Just as Fanxia was holding a bath sponge and applying shower gel, Arisa suddenly spoke.

"Do you remember the wish you made to me when I visited Mio when he had a fever and was sick?"

Hearing the demon in front of her mention this matter, her hand, which was about to be placed on Arisa, stopped in mid-air.

"...Remember, no matter what, you must not hurt Mio."

She didn't know why Arisa had suddenly brought this up, but her intuition told her that this demon wasn't just trying to chat with her.

If it were just a casual chat, there would be no need to specifically bring her into the bathroom.

Thinking of this, Fanxia's beautiful eyes couldn't help but become somewhat serious.

While sitting on the bench, Arisa said unhurriedly, "Then you should know what the process is like for the price of making a wish, right?"

"Eh?"

"Want to know what the price you paid for your wish?"

All that could be heard was a soft chuckle from Arisa, who then handed over the decision-making power entirely to Honoka.

For a moment, apart from the sound of hot water running from the showerhead, there was no other noise in the bathroom.

a long time.

Lying on the sofa, Ximiao heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened, followed by the sounds of Nahoka and Arisa walking barefoot on the wooden floor.

Just as she was about to ask them why she had been soaking in the bath for over an hour, Ximiao opened her eyes and her fair face immediately turned a deep blush.

The two people in front of me, as if they had agreed beforehand, walked into the living room wearing only a thin bath towel.

Her plump, soft thighs, and the bulge tightly wrapped under the bath towel, almost bursting out, made Himo unsure where to look.

Aside from a slight ripple in her eyes, Arisa stood with her hands on her hips, showing no sign of shyness whatsoever.

On the contrary, Fanxia seemed to be coerced by her; the blush on her equally fair face could not be faded no matter what.

But she was still curious about how Nozomi would react to seeing this.

Author's Note: A girl whispering secrets? (? ???ω??? ?)?

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Reconciliation and Gifts

Saturday.

Having received a message from his part-time agent, Xi Ling ate a few bites of breakfast early in the morning and went out with Arisa.

They were also thinking that if they could finish their work quickly, they might as well take a stroll around Ginza.

however.

When Nozomi and Arisa took the train to his workplace, they noticed that his manager, Ms. Eri, had a strange expression on her face as soon as they stepped out of the elevator.

"Kimi-kun, you're here..."

"Hmm, judging from your appearance, Miss Jiang, has something happened?"

He couldn't help but ask with some concern, but Ms. Jiang avoided the topic, simply smiling and letting Ximiao follow her into the photography studio.

However, what Mio didn't see was that Arisa, who had been following her, had a solemn expression on her face.

They walked into the photography studio one after another. In the dimly lit room, a pair of wine-red eyes watched Xi Ling enter the studio from a short distance away with a hint of amusement.

As if she were being targeted by a predator, Nozomi couldn't help but shudder.

Arisa, whose eyes could clearly see the figure in the darkness, instinctively gasped in surprise.

"Mom? Why are you here?"

"What? Can't I even see where you've spent the allowance I gave you?"

As she sat in the chair, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if she were the owner of the place. The aura surrounding her gave people a sense of pressure from someone in a superior position.

But that alone wasn't enough to move Ms. Jiang Li, the agent, especially since she had come as the client...

Today's work assignment was also sent by Ami, and neither Hii-Mio nor Arisa knew about it.

Soon, not caring much about Aunt Ami being in the photo studio, Nozomi took the clothes she wanted to change into and went to the changing room.

Arisa silently moved a chair and sat down next to her mother, Ami, and asked in a cold voice.

"What exactly do you want?! If you have nothing else to do, please don't interfere in my affairs with Mio!"

"Really……"

She paid no attention to Arisa's words, and instead took out a property certificate from her bag and handed it to Arisa.

The girl was stunned for a moment when she saw the property certificate in front of her. Then she took it and looked at it with some confusion, wondering what her mother meant by giving her this thing.

But when she saw that her name was written on it, she was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that this was given to her by her mother as an apology...?

Before Arisa could even ask what was going on, Ashi, sitting next to her, spoke up calmly.

"I bought the entire floor of the apartment building where Ximiao and the others live. From now on, you won't need to stay in hotels anymore; you can just move in there..."

"Huh? I remember, didn't someone else live there?"

She had considered this idea before, but no matter how much money she offered, no one was willing to give up the house. Helpless, she had to give up the idea.

However, her mother accomplished this with remarkable ease, which surprised her.

But Aya dismissed it, saying, "This kind of thing can be easily solved with a little trickery, right? Don't forget you're a devil!"

As she spoke, she patted Arisa on the shoulder, indicating that this was a small token of her appreciation, and trying to help Arisa move on from the previous incident.

The girl kept her head down, weighing in her mind whether the property certificate was more important, or the grievances she had suffered at her mother's hands...

Before long, Arisa put the property certificate into her pocket without saying anything more.

However, Ashi also understood that her daughter accepting her apology gift meant that the previous matter was completely over.

Thinking of this, the beautiful woman couldn't help but smile slightly, and she couldn't help but cross her legs, sitting quietly and waiting for the young man to finish his preparations.

After the mother and daughter resolved their family issues, Ximiao naturally changed her clothes and sat obediently in front of the mirror, letting the makeup artist style her hair.

The photographer, who usually loves to make witty remarks, became unusually serious after learning that the client was also in the studio.

"By the way, I don't know if you've seen this, Arisa... It's been quite popular among the ladies lately~"

Asahi pulled out a magazine, and on the cover was the photo of the perfume advertisement that Nozomi had shot last time, which had been made into a poster and printed on the cover.

Because of her revealing clothing, large areas of her fair skin were exposed to the flashlights, along with her exotic light blonde hair and youthful, adorable face.

It can be described as a special attack on older women...

It was only when some of Ami's friends showed her this magazine that she realized that Nozomi was actually working as a model.

Even she herself felt a slight tremor in her long-dormant heart upon seeing this scene.

Arisa was immediately drawn to the photo. Although she was present during the shoot, the filter had been adjusted to perfectly capture the indescribable charm of Nozomi.

At this moment, Xi Ling's figure and clothing were even more outrageous than the Roman-style gauze she wore last time.

His smooth abdomen was on full display, and the cloth tied around his waist could not cover his fair thighs at all. With just the slightest movement, he could easily be exposed.

This caused a barely perceptible blush to appear on Ximiao's fair face.

"Great! Stay like this, don't move!"

The photographer instructed Nozomi on how to strike the perfect pose while pressing the shutter of the camera.

As for the agent, Ms. Jiang Li, she stood beside Ya Shi the whole time, not daring to breathe too loudly, for fear of offending this client.
