"It's nothing." Shiina Mahiru shook her head, her ponytail swaying.

The elevator stopped, the doors opened, and Shiina Mahiru was the first to step out.

Xia Sheng followed her and walked alongside her, scrutinizing her profile with a somewhat indifferent expression and cold eyes.

"What happened?"

"There's nothing here. Natsuo, you're being a bit long-winded today." Shiina Mahiru's tone carried a hint of impatience.

"...Shiina, you're not...jealous, are you?" Natsumi asked uncertainly.

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous?" Shiina Mahiru retorted without changing her expression, not even glancing at him.

"Because of Yui," Natsumi pointed out.

"Why would I be jealous of Yui?" Shiina Mahiru tilted her head and looked at him calmly.

“Because… I kissed her…” Xia Sheng said hesitantly.

"Just because of this? Natsuo, aren't you being a little narcissistic?" Shiina Mahiru chuckled.

"Then why...?"

"I'm just in a bad mood, or rather, I'm mentally preparing myself." Shiina Mahiru turned her head and looked ahead.

Her expression was somewhat forlorn.

Xia Sheng looked at her, feeling a little embarrassed. Her expression certainly didn't seem like she was jealous.

Did he guess wrong?

"Are you really not just jealous?"

“No.” Shiina Mahiru shook her head.

"So what are you talking about in terms of mental preparation? Is it...?" Xia Sheng hesitated, his tone filled with anticipation.

"No, that's not it." Shiina Mahiru gave him an amused look.

"It's my own business."

"I'm glad you weren't jealous or angry with me."

"Why should I be angry with you? Just because you kissed Yuihama? What does that have to do with me?" Shiina Mahiru smiled.

"Hmm...that's true...okay, I was overthinking it, I'm sorry."

"That's more like it." Shiina Mahiru nodded in satisfaction.

“Then I’ll ask you one more question.” Xia Sheng stopped and stared intently into her eyes.

"What?" Shiina Mahiru also stopped and looked at him.

"Will I have breakfast today?" Xia Sheng asked.

"I'm not in a good mood today." Shiina Mahiru looked away and continued walking.

“You were lying! You were just jealous!” Xia Sheng caught up with her and confirmed.

"No means no, don't get your hopes up."

"Then why didn't you make more breakfast? You used to make it every day..."

"I told you, I'm not in a good mood today. Didn't I say whether I'll make you more or not depends on my mood?" Shiina Mahiru interrupted.

"But I need your help today," Xia Sheng confessed helplessly.

"Do you need to look for food to replenish your energy again?" Shiina Mahiru paused and looked at him.

"Yes."

"Never mind, I'll still make you something today." Shiina Mahiru sighed and shook her head.

Xia Sheng didn't mind her reaction: "That's great!"

"Breakfast only. You'll have to figure out lunch and dinner yourself," Shiina Mahiru reminded her.

"why is it like this......"

After their morning run, the two went back together, and Shiina Mahiru was still making breakfast at Natsuo's house.

This is today; I didn't eat with him.

After his hunger subsided, Shiina Mahiru went back.

For the rest of the day, Natsumi did not meet with Shiina Mahiru again. She really kept her word and took care of her own lunch and dinner.

Before today, he could still enjoy her three meals a day.

Indeed, there are downsides to being honest.

Yui Yuigahama was unaware that Natsuo had already revealed their relationship, and kept asking about the situation in the LINE group.

Yukino Yukinoshita answered all of them.

Neither Natsumi nor Shiina Mahiru participated in the discussion.

Xia Sheng planned to go to that place with her that night to explain things to her, otherwise she might not be able to fall asleep.

Around 11 p.m., Xia Sheng finished writing and went to bed.

He's writing the third volume of "Konosuba" while he has plenty of time. After all, Kuroneko is right; once school starts, his free time will definitely decrease.

If I don't write more now, I'll have to squeeze in time later.

Xia Sheng falls asleep quickly, lying in bed for about two and a half minutes before drifting off.

When I opened my eyes again, it was a familiar place; I had just been here last night.

It is the first floor.

"Good evening..." Yui Yuigahama's soft voice reached my ears.

Natsuki looked toward the source of the sound and saw Yui Yuigahama fidgeting, her face slightly flushed, too embarrassed to look at him.

"You've become so estranged after just one week?" Xia Sheng asked with a smile.

"No way~"

"Come here." Xia Sheng opened his arms.

“Hmm…” Yui Yuigahama hesitated for a moment before walking towards Natsuo.

Xia Sheng hugged her tightly, her soft and sweet scent filling his senses.

Yui Yuigahama hugged him back; she had missed this broad embrace for the past week.

“Yui…” Natsumi looked down at her, his voice low.

“Natsuo…” Yui Yuigahama looked up and saw his burning gaze.

She couldn't refuse.

Involuntarily, Yui Yuigahama closed her eyes and raised her chin.

Xia Sheng leaned in and kissed her.

Yui Yuigahama's heart skipped a beat, and she hugged him even tighter.

The two got so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot about the time and place.

However, Xia Sheng has a sense of danger, so there won't be any problems.

After a long while, Yui Yuigahama was out of breath and separated from Natsuo.

"Hoo—" She breathed heavily, her chubby face flushed, and her eyes were a little moist.

Xia Sheng stroked her face, his heart filled with tenderness.

"Natsuo, you're getting too absorbed in it. What if a slime appears?" Yui Yuigahama scolded playfully after regaining her composure.

"No, have you forgotten that I have a sense of danger?"

"I really forgot..."

She was too preoccupied to think about anything else.

"Oh, right, I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"I've already told Yukinoshita and the others about us."

"?"

Chapter 87 Violent Yui

"What did you say?" Yui Yuigahama looked up at Natsumi in disbelief.

She wondered if she had misheard.

“I told Yukinoshita and the others about what happened between us,” Natsuo said again.

"W-What's wrong?" Yui Yuigahama still held onto a sliver of hope.

"It's about the kissing experiment we did," Xia Sheng said truthfully.

“…” Yui Yuigahama fell silent.

"Yui?"

Yui Yuigahama lowered her head, gripped Natsuo's clothes tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Why...why did you tell them?"

"I had no choice but to tell them, otherwise I would have been outnumbered. You know how dangerous it was yesterday, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita told her everything that happened yesterday in the group chat, so she knew it all perfectly well, almost as if she had experienced it firsthand.

"Yesterday was indeed very dangerous... but... why didn't you... why didn't you discuss it with me first?"

“If I were to discuss this with you, you definitely wouldn’t want me to say it,” Xia Sheng bluntly stated.

"Don't I know your personality? You're sometimes incredibly brave, and sometimes terribly timid."

"I..." Yui Yuigahama looked up, glaring at Natsumi with embarrassment and annoyance.

She was right; she knew her own personality well.

However, she still couldn't accept it.

This is too embarrassing!

She wasn't prepared at all!

How is she supposed to face them now?!

"It's okay," Xia Sheng said, gently rubbing her head to comfort her.

"They didn't say anything, and Yukino even thanked you for your sacrificial experiment."

“I’m not a sacrifice!” Yui Yuigahama retorted.

"What's the reason for that?" Xia Sheng asked, looking at her.

“I…I’m because of you…” Yui Yuigahama lowered her head again.

Xia Sheng noticed that her ears were visibly flushed red, so cute that he wanted to take a bite.

"I see." Xia Sheng smiled happily.

"Still laughing! It's all your fault!" Yui Yuigahama said, embarrassed and annoyed, and couldn't help but slap his chest.

"Since we're going to have to be honest anyway, it doesn't matter whether we do it sooner or later."

"no the same!"

"What can I do? I've already confessed," Xia Sheng said frankly.

"Ugh... It's all your fault! How am I supposed to face them now!" Yui Yuigahama slapped his chest again, glaring at him angrily.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I'll face this with you."

"You don't care..."

“It’s really okay, just do it the same as before, anyway, they will…” Xia Sheng paused.

"What will happen to them in the future...?" Yui Yuigahama looked at him with a puzzled expression, without giving it much thought.
