"Anything you want to explain, Mom?"

He returned to the kotatsu and sat in the place where Xi Mio had just sat, confronting Ami across from him.

Two pairs of almost indistinguishable beautiful wine-red eyes stared at each other, as if trying to confirm something in each other's eyes.

After a moment of silence, Arisa sighed helplessly, then looked directly into Asami's eyes and spoke.

"This prank is a bit too much, Mom..."

"But wasn't the result good? Xi Mio bit your tail in anger. You should know what this means to a demon, right?"

Yashi didn't care about what he did and just thought of it as an assist to his daughter.

However, in Arisa's eyes, this was a blatant provocation by her mother.

She slammed her hands on the table, her expression became a little agitated, and she yelled at Yashi opposite her.

"That's not what I want to hear!"

Her roar completely frightened Yashi. The glass of juice he had just picked up was suspended in the air, and he looked a little at a loss.

But Arisa would not stop because of this. A rare hint of anger appeared in her beautiful wine-red eyes, and the expression on her face did not look very good.

Just like she was just now, she had been enduring and not losing her temper in front of Xi Mio.

"You clearly know that Xi Mio is my boyfriend!"

"Yes, it was obtained by the devil's ability to make wishes. How could I not be aware of the aura of Xi Mio?"

After recovering from her shock, Ami said unwillingly that she didn't seem to think she had done anything wrong.

"..."

Seeing that her daughter did not respond to her, Yashi continued speaking.

"What did you give Xi Mio? Apart from granting him a wish, I can't see what you gave him at all..."

"certainly not!"

Arisa subconsciously wanted to refute, but she found that her mother's eyes were extremely serious and she didn't seem to be joking with her.

"I only saw that because of you, Xi Mio had almost no other friends in school. Even after school, he was with you. He didn't have his own world at all."

If he hadn't smelled the faint, unhappy scent on Xi Mio, I'm afraid that even Yashi wouldn't have been able to detect his hidden emotions.

however.

Arisa, who hadn't realized why her mother said that, was still trying to defend herself.

"Isn't this what boyfriends and girlfriends are supposed to be like?!"

"In my opinion, you are just taking out your anger at being bitten on the tail by Xi Mio on me. Am I right?"

"..."

"For a demon, having your tail bitten is like recognizing only that person in your entire life. You were angry for a moment just now, weren't you?"

Listening to what her mother said, Arisa had to admit that it was just as Asi said. The moment when Shimi bit her tail, she felt angry... and nothing else.

"That...that's because it happened too suddenly. I was scared, so I..."

Even Arisa didn't quite understand why she was like this.

Or perhaps, even she herself might not understand the position that Xi Mio holds in her heart.

Across from him, looking at his daughter's useless appearance, Yashi couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that she will be busy tonight. She will have to ask her future son-in-law Xi Mio for more compensation later...

Chapter 96: People with Different Thoughts

After Asami and Arisa, mother and daughter, had an extremely deep conversation, Arisa did not show any abnormality as usual.

At least, Xi Mio didn't notice that there was anything different about Alisa.

Until the end of the final exam, when the bell rang to explain the exam time, the students in the classroom who were still concentrating on writing their test papers breathed a sigh of relief.

In terms of the difficulty of the exams, if the "St. Martin Private High School" where Xi Mio and her classmates attend is second, I'm afraid no other school would dare to say that its exams are the most rigorous.

However, for Xi Mio, this is still within his ability to handle.

Xi Mio packed up her things and walked out of the examination room. When she turned around, she saw Alisa who was taking the exam in the next examination room.

The girl's tall figure was very conspicuous in the crowd, so Xi Mio could easily find her and walk to her side.

"how do you feel?"

"It should be OK... I don't know how to put it. I feel that the difficulty of this exam is different from previous exams. I don't have much confidence..."

Arisa said this to Xi Mio, and the expression on her face also looked a little disappointed. It seemed that she really felt that the results of this exam would not be ideal.

Seeing this, Xi Mio did not continue chatting on this topic. He walked side by side with Alisa and returned to his classroom, packed up his things and prepared to go back.

Inside the station.

Each carrying their own schoolbags, Nozomi and Arisa sat on a bench nearby, waiting for the train to arrive, each with their own moods.

After finishing the exam, Hiro was only thinking about how to spend the rest of the vacation, but Arisa's mind was constantly recalling the conversation between her and her mother that night.

She couldn't help but look at Xi Mio beside her with a complicated look.

It has been almost a whole week, and Arisa still hasn't figured out what kind of existence Xi Mio holds in her heart.

If you say he’s my boyfriend… I would subconsciously resist, and he bit his tail.

But if she were to say that she got a toy on a whim that could easily break, she would still deny the idea.

For a moment, the girl was very conflicted and wanted to find someone to ask her what was going on. However, her reason told her that this kind of thing could only be kept in her heart.

Before Arisa could continue thinking about this question, she heard the sound of a train slowly stopping at the platform not far away.

"Let's go, Arisa."

Xi Mio at the side also said the same thing to her, took Alisa's wrist, and the two of them walked into the car.

"Have you thought about how to tell Aunt Asami how you did on the exam later?"

This time, Arisa did not ask Xi Mio to sit on her lap, and Xi Mio thought that she was in a bad mood and did not care too much.

"No... Let's wait until the results come out before telling her."

"That's it..."

Xi Mio couldn't help but glance at Alisa beside him, wanting to say something to comfort the girl, but no matter how he organized his words, it felt like something was missing.

So, the two of them just remained silent along the way, each thinking about the things that were bothering them.

Until they returned to the apartment, because the exams were over, Xi Mio didn't need to go to Alisa to tutor her for the time being.

The two said goodbye in the elevator and returned to their respective residences.

"Sister Fanxia, ​​I'm back!"

As usual, Xi Mio took off her shoes at the entrance and shouted towards the living room.

"Oh~ Xiao Mio, you're back. How did you do on the school exam?"

Walking into the living room, you can see Fanxia sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a pair of white thighs exposed in front of the boy, who curiously asked him about the final exams.

Xi Mio was already accustomed to the scene before her, she calmly sat down on the sofa, rubbed her sore shoulders, and then responded.

"It feels fine, just like always."

Little did he know that the scene of him rubbing his shoulders was seen by Sister Fanxia who was standing next to him.

After dinner, Xi Mio, who was sitting on the cushion, suddenly spoke to Fan Xia.

"Hey... Sister Fanxia, ​​do you feel that Arisa has been acting a little strange lately?"

"Really? I haven't seen her much recently. I only saw her last week when I went to their place to eat Sukiyaki."

Although she seemed to have seen the devil less frequently recently, she felt that this was not bad.

But after all, she didn't know what Arisa was planning, which still made Fanxia feel a little uneasy.

Seeing that she couldn't get the information she wanted from Sister Fanxia, ​​Xi Mio sighed silently.

"What happened to you two? Did you have a fight?"

When saying this, Fan Xia could clearly feel that the corners of his mouth could not stop rising, with a hint of gloating in his heart.

however.

When she saw Xi Mio shaking her head, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"No... I just felt something was a little off when I came back this afternoon."

"Don't think about it, let's go take a comfortable bath~"

After saying that, Fanxia pulled Xi Mio towards the bathroom, not wanting him to focus his mind on the devil.

And Xi Mio didn't say anything, letting Sister Fanxia rub his soft light golden hair as she pleased.

As the foam from the shampoo continued to drip onto the floor covered with pool water, Xi Mio inexplicably felt a little relaxed.

He found that when he was with Sister Fan Xia, he could relax and feel at ease. This might be what made Sister Fan Xia so powerful...

"Sister Fanxia, ​​when do you plan to show your latest work to the editor?"

"Eh?"

Fanxia was stunned for a moment as she didn't expect Xi Mio to ask this suddenly.

"Why? Xiao Mio, do you care about my work?"

"No... I'm just a little curious about what the comics that specifically asked me to be a model for look like."

Come to think of it, he has never seen Sister Fanxia's works until now, but since she can live in a high-end apartment, her works must be popular.

However, he had never heard of it. It can only be said that Sister Fanxia hid it too well in this aspect.

Just when he was curious and waiting for Sister Fanxia to tell him, she said.

"I won't show it to you, Xiao Mio... I always feel embarrassed to let acquaintances see what I draw..."

"Eh--"

Ignoring Xi Mio's dissatisfied voice, Fan Xia picked up the shower head and poured water on his head, forcing the boy to shut up.

Chapter 97: Arisa is thinking

The next day.

That was early Saturday morning.

Xi Mio, still wearing her Little Shark pajamas, yawned as she walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen.

In the living room, Sister Fanxia, ​​who also woke up early in the morning and had time to take a bath, was wiping her wet silver hair with a clean towel.

"Mio, I want fried eggs and a ham and cheese sandwich."

"Know it……"

Xi Mio responded weakly, as if she had not yet fully woken up.

After a while, I heard the sizzling sound of eggs frying in a pan in the kitchen.

After the boy put this simple breakfast on the table, he walked towards the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up without waiting for Sister Fanxia to call him.

It was like going back to the time when Xi Mio first came to Xijing and was taken in by Sister Fanxia. This scene made Fanxia feel nostalgic.

And downstairs between the two of them.

Apparently, Arisa was used to getting up early and had developed a biological clock. Even if she wanted to sleep in, she would toss and turn in bed, feeling uncomfortable all over.

On the contrary, Ashi, who was still in her bedroom, showed no signs of getting up. In the living room, there was only the girl, sitting alone on the sofa, eating dry bread to fill her stomach.

On her smooth, oval face, there were two thick dark circles visible to the naked eye, indicating that the girl did not sleep well last night.

With the final exams over, she no longer had an excuse to ask Xi Mio to come to her room to tutor her...

It was as if the bond between her and the boy ended with the end of the exam, which made Arisa feel very uncomfortable.
