The afternoon sun was especially brilliant, shining through the gauzy curtains and flooding the spacious villa with light.
Separated by just a wall, faint sounds of water flowing over a young girl's skin could be heard to my ears, reminding of the young lady's bathing habits I'd heard about before—first a rinse with plain water, followed by a luxurious soak in the tub.
Damn it, if only there weren't so many people today, I should be part of that bubbly bubble bath too.
Only now do I understand the devastating power of a lovesick boy's phrase, "Just hearing the sound of bathing, I could eat three bowls of rice."
Shaking my head and feeling sowhat downcast, I thought of leaving the second-floor public bathroom, but to my surprise, a dazzling silhouette ca my way.
Golden locks shimred in the air, casting brilliant reflections, while her healthy coffee-colored skin was smooth and radiant, and her gorgeous little face exuded a maturity beyond her years.
If you were to say Chiba-san is the embodint of youth, Sister Reiko a paragon of maturity, then Kuro-Pi Spicy Girl falls sowhere in between.
She has the romantic energy of a teenager but also bears a rebellious streak from stepping into society at a young age. After that recent episode with Haruka Yuzan, her whole persona found a delicate equilibrium.
Just a glance was enough to make one want to ta her properly.
Turn that snooty little face into an obedient and endearing one, gradually accepting reality, from a wild kitten to a dosticated calico queen... like a uniquely beautiful bloom...
"Hoshina, is there sothing you need?"
Haruka Yuzan looked at the approaching Spice Girl, his hand subconsciously reaching to drape over her shoulder... but Arisugawa Hoshina quickly brushed the advancing hand aside.
Then, in Haruka's astonished gaze, she pushed him against the wall.
There was a soft "thud..."
Haruka leaned back against the wall, his eyes reflecting a ripple of surprise at the oncoming sexy Spice Girl.
Hmm? What's gotten into her today? Could she be craving a change of pace?
"Do you need sothing, Hoshina?"
The young Spice Girl, having returned ho, had also slipped into a particularly breezy tank top.
Leaning in just a bit, Haruka could distinctly feel a ticklish sensation from his chest.
All I can say is, youth is indeed blissful...
Arisugawa, of course, noticed Haruka's little gesture, but instead of stepping back, she proudly puffed out her chest, the corner of her mouth lifting in an imperceptible sneer.
Heh, n, they're all the sa.
"Ahem, ahem."
Caught red-handed, Haruka Yuzan coughed twice. He tried to shrink back, but the wall was right behind him, and there was nowhere to go. His attempted retreat only spurred the Spice Girl on, and their bodies pressed closer together.
Haruka could even feel the hot breath against his Adam's apple...
"Listen, Hoshina, whatever it is, just talk to directly. It wouldn't be good... if soone were to see us like this."
"You have the nerve to say that?"
Arisugawa Hoshina squinted her eyes in a resentful look: "Co on, spill it. When did you get a fiancée?"
Seeing her reaction, Haruka realized imdiately, she was jealous...
"About the fiancée thing... I feel I owe you an explanation." Haruka Yuzan cleared his throat before he started to speak, under the Spice Girl's 'If you don't give a satisfactory reason, believe , I'll bite you to death' gaze:
"Hoshina, have you heard of ' and My 100 Girlfriends'?"
"Nope," Arisugawa Hoshina shook her head honestly.
"You can ask Misaki later; she surely knows about it." Haruka Yuzan smiled, as if casually discussing a magnificent work that the Spice Girl should check out later.
By any ans, bringing that frenzied creator of the 2D world out of her room couldn't go wrong.
In any case, as long as I can babble and divert the attention of the crazed Spice Girl, that will do.
"Which ani? Does it have anything to do with your fiancée?"
Unfortunately, the Spice Girl, tutored by Chiba-san, was clearly not fooled by the ruse.
Seeing this, Haruka Yuzan opened his mouth to say sothing, only to hear the Spice Girl continue: "You're not going to say, 'Oh, little star Hoshina, you've gotten smart! Learning to face the problem head-on,' are you?"
"...."
Haruka Yuzan fell silent. Seeing the boy's reaction, the triumphant Spice Girl's eyes glead with a cunning hint of victory, as if after months of training, she could now clearly discern the color of a boy's underwear.
"What, got nothing to say now?"
Arisugawa Hoshina pressed her advantage.
The Tokyo heartthrob, who once stood unchallenged at the top of the food chain, seed caught off guard by the Spice Girl's sudden combo of moves. Was he looking rather flustered?
"So, little star Hoshina, thinking like this really hurts my feelings. Who exactly turned that innocent young one into what she is now?"
As he spoke, he struck a pose of utter dismay as if lanting the corruption of his own pure white cabbage.
"Hmph!"
Arisugawa Hoshina scoffed, clearly displeased: "Hey, you're making it sound like I was stupid before."
"Is being innocent the sa as being stupid?"
"Quit changing the subject! What I'm asking is, where did this fiancée of yours co from?!"
"It looks like you've truly grown a lot; I can't fool you anymore...."
