My yellow-haired simulator!

"You, did you hear everything?"

"I heard a little bit. Maria-senpai said Ikeda-senpai is an idiot. That's all."

"You can't lie to me." Maria tried to make herself serious, but how could she be serious after being wronged just now? She tried her best to put on a fierce face, but the tears in her eyes showed her true feelings.

Not scary, even a little cute.

"If it's because of me, don't worry about me. Maria-senpai and Ikeda-senpai's affairs are more important. I'm just an ordinary student who is brave enough to do something righteous. There's no need to take care of me so much."

"Anyway, it's been like this all the way here." You smiled, a very pure smile that made Maria feel distressed. Why can Kinoshita-san still show such a pure smile after going through so much? Why...

"As the president, I will handle this matter. Kinoshita-kun, the most important thing for you now is to have a good rest." Maria wiped her tears with her sleeves, adjusted her mood, and spoke in a teaching tone.

Seeing this, you did not step back, but came to Maria and looked at her seriously.

"As a boy, I know better what Senior Ikeda is thinking. If Senior Maria really wants to take care of me, she must make this matter clear to Senior Ikeda!" Your voice is not loud, but it is full of power.

Maria subconsciously thought about it, and then she looked a little dazed. Why did Kinoshita-kun look so majestic now? She was actually a little moved...

"Ah...well, I will talk to him nicely. Also, this kind of thing can't be solved by one person's temper." Maria nodded to you gratefully. She was taken care of by her junior again today. This senior sister is really incompetent.

"How about asking Senior Ikeda to come over for dinner? Many things would be better if we could talk them out earlier. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable if you hold it in for too long and then explode." You said as you watched Maria cook. Maria thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.

I'd better think things through as soon as possible. It's not my style to keep dragging it out. After saying that, I turned off the gas stove and called Ikeda-kun.

"Ikeda-kun, I was a little angry earlier, sorry. I think we need to have a good talk about Kinoshita-kun."

"I've made dinner. Why don't you stop by Kinoshita-kun's house so we can talk this out. What do you think?"

"Um... Maria, I've been a bit irritable before, but..."

"Hey, didn't we agree to go to the arcade to play marbles? Come on, come on, can't you indulge yourself a little without Maria to supervise you?"

"You bastard! Anyway, that's it... Sorry, I'll apologize in person next time. I'm hanging up now. Bye, Maria~ Say hello to Kinoshita-san for me."

"Beep...beep..." The phone was hung up. You who were eavesdropping on the side were completely stunned. Senior Ikeda, you are really much better than Daiaki Sakamoto. Are you the real master?

"Gurgle... woooo... woooo..." Maria finally couldn't control her emotions anymore and squatted on the ground crying. She twitched helplessly, and you couldn't bear it, so you finally stepped forward and hugged Maria into your arms.

Is this progress too fast? Not too fast, not too fast. The faster the better!

"I'm sorry, Maria-senpai. Because of me, I put you in this situation. I will apologize to Ikeda-senpai someday. Please don't cry."

"Maria-senpai is not pretty when she cries. I still like to see Maria-senpai with a serious face or when she laughs at me~"

“Wuwuwu…”

“Wuwuwu…sob…sob…”

Chapter 109: Healed by Kinoshita-san...

You are a little overwhelmed. It is the first time you see a girl crying, and she is an older sister than you. And you have something particularly interesting in your hand to relieve your emotions.

You can only repeat words of comfort like "It's okay, I'm still here" and gently pat Maria's back. Maria cried for a long time before she came to her senses. Her tears had dried up and her eyes were red and swollen from being wiped with tissues.

It stings a little when you touch it lightly. Seeing Maria like this, you feel bad. You move the quilt on the bed to the floor and slowly lay Maria down on the quilt.

"Let me prepare dinner tonight~" Maria was still immersed in sadness. She had accumulated too many negative emotions, pressure from study and family, and her boyfriend could only provide some spiritual help.

Under such pressure, Maria balanced her emotions with her strong willpower. However, she had a big fight with her boyfriend Ikeda because of the matter of her junior Kinoshita. Not being understood and ignored eventually became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Because you have to pretend that one of your hands is disabled, it is difficult for you to make delicate dishes. Unfortunately, the hamburger patties are not cooked yet, so you are a little confused about where to start. But cooking will never be difficult for a Dragon-born person.

You use a spatula to cut the meat into small pieces, pour in water, chop up various ingredients and throw them into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat. After proper seasoning, a pot of random food appears in front of you.

"It tastes good. Give me some chopped green onions... uh, chopped green onions won't work, let's try scallion segments." Cut the remaining scallions into inch-long segments and sprinkle them into the pot. The pure white soup base cooked with hamburger patties brings out the fragrance of scallions, and the faint aroma floats from the kitchen to the living room.

"Gurgle~" Maria, who was lying on the quilt with her arms covering her eyes and still sobbing, smelled the fragrance at the tip of her nose, and her stomach made a protesting sound. After she came to her senses a little bit, her vision began to focus little by little. Maria squinted her eyes and realized that it was already 5:30 in the evening!

"Hey~ Maria, do you want to have dinner?" You can't reveal your true strength and you have a broken arm, so you are forced to divide a pot of stew into four small portions and bring them to the table one by one. Maria saw your staggering but determined steps.

She put her hands together and covered her nose, wanting to cry, but she couldn't cry anymore. She could only feel the pain in her heart silently, and she vowed to take good care of you from now on.

"Eat quickly, and then have a good talk with Senior Ikeda. I believe that Senior Ikeda is so kind that he will definitely forgive Senior Maria."

"Eat quickly~" You smiled and handed the bowl and chopsticks over, using your clumsy left hand to serve yourself rice, but Maria didn't respond. You took the bowl from Maria and added more rice to her. It wasn't much for the first time, and you didn't know how much Maria ate.

"Thank you, Kinoshita-san."

"This is what I should do. Senior Maria has been so good to me. I would like to repay her if possible!" The bright and innocent smile touched Maria's heart directly, and the smart eyes full of hope for everything made Maria fall in love with him.

It was a quiet dinner. Maria quickly finished her meal, cleaned up for you, and left your house. You leaned comfortably on the table. Maria must have felt so guilty that she secretly wiped away tears in the middle of the night.

"Sleep~Sleep~" As you fell into a sweet sleep, Maria looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thought. At this time, at Ikeda's house, Ikeda-senpai was also looking at the ceiling and thinking.

Finally, he dialed Maria's number, but the moment the call was connected, the aunt came in and asked why she was still awake so late. Senior Ikeda had no choice but to turn off his phone and fell asleep.

Maria watched her phone ring and then hang up, and after no one called back for a long time, she finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Maria was not in a good mood. After making breakfast for you, she gave you a few instructions and went to school. You felt a little distressed when you saw her. It was time to let Maria relax.

"Maria, do you want to have lunch together?" Ikeda came to Maria's class and wanted to eat with her and apologize to her at the same time. Because they were a couple, even though everyone was envious, they didn't say anything.

Usually Maria invites Ikeda to dinner, but why did Ikeda invite Maria to dinner today? The classmates in the class discovered the blind spot. Could it be that there was a conflict between the two of them?

You know, Maria's cooking skills are very good, according to her bestie. Moreover, Maria would also include Ikeda's portion when making bento, but she didn't make it today, which means... Is there really a contradiction?!

"Well~ I was just about to look for you, Ikeda-kun. Let's go~" At school, Maria would occasionally show a gentle look, mostly when she was with Ikeda. On weekdays, she was full of majesty.

Maria smiled and walked upstairs with Ikeda to the rooftop, where many young couples or independent people ate. Seeing that Maria was still the same as usual, Ikeda breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Maria was not too angry.

The main reason is that it’s too exaggerated to suddenly ask me to take care of my junior classmate Kinoshita, and to cook breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. for him... I don’t even have such treatment, so why should he?

Jealousy is the essence of what Ikeda hates. Maria's parents are very strict. They are said to be a couple, but they have no intimate contact, let alone a further relationship. Apart from the time at school, I don't have much time to spend with Maria except after school.

"I was a little emotional about what happened yesterday. Maria, I understand how you feel, but isn't it a bit too much to take care of him like this?"

"Junior Kinoshita told me this yesterday. I really ignored your feelings. To be more precise... you must be jealous, right, Ikeda-kun?" Maria's half-joking answer made Ikeda turn his head away shyly.

"That... yes, there is a little bit of that. However, men and women should still be cautious when they are alone." Ikeda said seriously. For some reason, Ikeda always feels that you give him a very strange feeling, a little annoying or disgusting?

"I'll pay attention to this. Ikeda-kun is really gentle. Kinoshita said that if something like this happened to another boy, he would definitely go berserk." Maria looked up at the sky. The clear blue sky without any clouds was just like Kinoshita-kun...pure and flawless.

"Junior Kinoshita has mentioned me?" Ikeda then realized that Maria mentioned Kinoshita in every sentence, and it was related to him, which aroused his curiosity.

"Yes, he said that Ikeda-senpai is a very gentle senior who gives people warmth like the sun. He is someone to look up to."

"Really? Is this how Kinoshita-san sees me?"

"Yeah, he also said..." Maria and Ikeda talked a lot about you on the rooftop, and a series of things such as Maria entrusting you to rescue Ikeda-kun. During the teaching process, she also told herself some little thoughts about boys, except for the part where you hugged Maria into your arms.

"Let's go visit Junior Kinoshita again this afternoon. It's just like he said, there are some things that can only be explained clearly between men." Ikeda nodded seriously. Through what he just got to know, he found that you didn't seem to be a bad person.

He was even the ideal type of man, the kind of person Ikeda wanted to become.

"Well~ Let's go together~" Maria smiled happily, secretly praising him for being worthy of being Kinoshita's junior~

Chapter 110: Declaring sovereignty ≠ I won't take action

"Junior Kinoshita, we are coming in." Maria knocked on the door three times politely, walked into the living room and first glanced at the dishes in the sink, which had been cleaned.

“Good afternoon, Maria-senpai, Ikeda-senpai~” You came out of the room to welcome the two, and they both greeted you at the same time.

"I bought you some snacks, Kinoshita-kun." Ikeda took out some pastries from his bag and handed them to you. You politely accepted them and wanted to make tea for them but Maria stopped you. It's better to do this yourself.

"Thank you~ Shall we start reviewing next?" You took out your book and were eager to try. Maria smiled with satisfaction, saying that you are such a studious child. Ikeda scratched his cheek awkwardly, thinking that he was indeed not suitable to be here.

Please make your words clear and go back quickly. You are not good at studying at all.

"If you want to study, wait a minute. Ikeda-kun, aren't you going to say something to Kinoshita-kun?" Maria pushed Ikeda with her shoulder, and Ikeda pretended to cough twice and spoke seriously.

"Maria is my girlfriend, and I am Maria's boyfriend. And don't cause too much trouble to Maria, it's hard for her to be alone." Ikeda said a lot of things to you as if he was entrusting you with something.

You nodded silently and pretended to take note. Who knows if I did it after you leave? Will Maria tell you? Of course not. She doesn't want to lose you as a boyfriend.

"That's it, I've said everything I wanted to say." Ikeda said and fixed his gaze on your eyes, hoping to find some unusual emotions in them, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Maria witnessed the clapping and interrupted the awkward atmosphere. As expected, Ikeda-kun was jealous. It was really incredible that he would be jealous of a junior who was his savior.

I'm not jealous of you getting close to other girls.

"Okay~ Now that we've finished talking, let's start reviewing. It would be great if Ikeda-kun can join us." After saying that, Maria took out the books and notes she had organized while studying. Of course, she also prepared Ikeda-kun's share.

"Hehe...hehe..." Senior Ikeda couldn't help but twitch his mouth twice, and he regretted following him a little.

The learning atmosphere was quite good at the beginning, but after 45 minutes, Ikeda's concentration began to decline, and he often checked his phone to send messages.

"Ikeda-kun, as a senior, you should set a good example. How could you play with your phone secretly!" Maria said in reproach. She originally brought Ikeda here to show her boyfriend's strength. According to Ikeda's words, it was to intimidate the junior Kinoshita.

But now this deterrence seems to have no effect.

"I know~" Ikeda was told by Maria, and he put down his phone and continued to study. After another half an hour, Ikeda finally couldn't stand this quiet atmosphere anymore. He simply leaned on the table and closed his eyes to rest, and Maria sighed.

"Okay, time to get up and go back. Idiot Ikeda-kun~" Ikeda didn't know how long he had slept when he was woken up by Maria. He woke up in a daze, covering his head and feeling a headache... How long had he slept?

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Kinoshita-kun. You must keep working hard on your studies tomorrow. Ikeda and I will be going back first~" Maria felt too embarrassed to stay any longer. Her study session was disrupted by Ikeda alone.

He snored when he slept, and muttered some strange words that made Maria feel a little overwhelmed. You said you didn't care, but your eyes often fell on Ikeda, which made Maria feel embarrassed.

"Ikeda-kun, would you like to come with me to Kinoshita's house to review today?"

"Ahahaha, I just remembered that I have an appointment with xx. I won't go this time. I'll accompany you next time." Faced with Maria's invitation, Ikeda made up an excuse to get out of it. The situation yesterday was really uncomfortable.

If I stay a few more days, I might just get stuck there. Studying really isn't for me.

"Yeah, alright. Kinoshita-kun has to work harder too. If you keep wasting time like this, you'll have trouble with next month's exam."

"I know, I know, leave it to me, Maria." Ikeda smiled and put his arm around someone's shoulder, waving goodbye. Maria could only wave goodbye, pouting and muttering something to herself, "Kinoshita-kun, you idiot."

"It would be great if Ikeda-kun could be as serious as Kinoshita-kun, really. I'll go help Kinoshita-kun with his review first~ I remember something..." Maria searched for the materials and knocked on your door after confirming that they were correct.

"Good afternoon~ Senior Ikeda didn't come today. Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ah, Ikeda-kun has something to do, so it's just the two of us today."

"Well, I'll have to trouble you today, Maria-senpai." You bowed politely, and Maria bowed back. It was another long study session, and after the intermission, Maria rubbed her shoulders with her hands, and sighed softly about what to do with this body.

You know, your chance has come.

"Maria-senpai, you look very tired."

"Yeah, the student union is very busy, and there are many other things to do. In short, it's a mess and I haven't had a good rest." Maria complained to you, just like in the last simulation.

"Why don't you try a massage to relax? I've given massages to my parents before, and they both said it was very comfortable."

"How about a massage?" Your suggestion made Maria feel a little excited. She had never tried a massage before, but she heard that it was very comfortable. Could Kinoshita-kun give her a massage?

"Don't worry, if it's just a massage, you can use either hand." You said and put your hand on Maria's shoulder. Maria was a little resistant at first. Strictly speaking, this was the first time you and her had such close contact.

"Hmm... your technique is so skillful. It feels so comfortable~" Maria closed her eyes and enjoyed your massage. She felt her tense body relax at this moment. Her whole body softened and her eyelids began to close slowly.

"Maria, Maria, are you asleep?" You kneaded Maria's shoulders, watching her body relax little by little until she fell asleep on the table. You called out to her a few times, but she didn't respond.

“Hu~~~Hu~~~Hu~~~~”

"I pinch~pinch~" You took the opportunity to take advantage of Maria with your hands, and when you saw that she didn't react much, you started to become bolder.

"Then I'll start eating without hesitation, Maria-senpai~"

Chapter 111: Don’t look there, Kinoshita-kun!

You poked Maria's cheek with your finger. Her breathing was very calm and she showed no sign of waking up.

“Maria-senpai doesn’t seem to be waking up, but it’s a pity that her other hand is in a cast.” You complained, and the tingling feeling made Maria gasp softly.

“Gulp~” You swallowed, thinking Maria was going to wake up only to find that she didn’t and instead a smile appeared on her lips.

"You seem to be enjoying it, Maria-senpai. Well, let's try something else~" You reached your hand somewhere else, and with your unremitting efforts, every part of Maria's body was left with your marks, so it would be there next.

"!@#...really."

"No... No, that kind of thing... should only be done after you get married..."

"I don't know if I am the male lead, but it's a pity that I only have one hand." You originally wanted to relax, but it seems impossible to operate with one hand. It is difficult to feel anything without touching something.

After you felt the wetness on your fingers, you stopped what you were doing, squatted down and looked at the wet floor. You were a little looking forward to what expression Maria-senpai would show.

Sitting back down in your seat, you stretched your feet over the water stain to create the impression that Maria couldn't help but expose them because she was asleep.

"Senior Maria, senior Maria~ It's wet under the table, it feels so weird." You woke Maria up, and she slowly raised her head with a dazed look on her face. It must have been because she hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.

Maria wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and her whole face was flushed. Cold sweat kept dripping down from her forehead. She knew what happened without even looking. She actually fell asleep in front of her junior, and she was even dreaming... and...
