"Ouch! Suddenly, my eyes hurt so much, I can barely see anything!"

As she spoke, the little one began to fumble around in the dark on the spot, as if she truly had become blind,

"Ow, ow..."

"So scary, I really can’t see, Roast Meat, are you the same?"

"Meow..."

Could you be any more exaggerated? I was nearly blinded by the glowing excitement just a moment ago!!!

I’m an artist too, an experienced actor. Can’t you put a little more heart into it? Miss Misaki, the great teacher?

Seeing through the gaps between her fingers, she noticed that the two on the sofa were still in that pose, clearly not having snapped out of it, but to the little one, it seemed to hold a different meaning.

Humph!

All this about Haruka, she, Misaki, figured it out. Surely it was because she was there, cramping her style, they wanted to send her away!

Hmm hmm hmm, when will this guy ever improve? Next time bring me along to play too!

Self-proclaimed genius Misaki Saki "saw through" the boy’s intentions in an instant, feeling smug about it while giving Roast Meat, who was squatting beside her, a little kick with her foot,

Then... under their gaze, the little one turned around and dashed back into the kitchen, with the big orange cat following closely after her at the girl’s hint, scurrying back inside on its short legs...

"Meow meow!"

"Sister Reiko, let me help you with the cooking!!"

....

"What just happened to me?"

....

"It’s nothing, it was just a bit dazzling when I went out, I couldn’t quite see clearly..."

"Cough, cough." Not until one person and one cat disappeared from view did Haruka Yuzan clear his throat twice. Though he felt reluctant to let go of the delicate figure in his arms, he knew it was not the time.

Misaki was one thing, but if Reiko Onodera came out, now that would have been awkward...

Regaining her senses, Arisugawa Hoshina also quickly propped herself up to escape the boy’s embrace, crossing her legs and her cheeks reddening further. She now couldn’t even bring herself to look at the boy’s eyes...

Haruka Yuzan straightened up as well, adjusting his collar, and said with a smile,

"It’s all right, Misaki won’t blab. You don’t have to be so shy. Such a misunderstanding is easily explained."

He had intended to comfort the new tenant, the tough girl—after all, she was new and might not be quite familiar with everyone yet, afraid of being the subject of gossip?

Enjoy new tales from empire

That’s what the boy thought, but to the tough girl, it sounded different,

"Who, who’s shy!"

Raising her head, she maintained that same embarrassed but assertive little expression. As their eyes met, the standoff continued for just over a minute,

Arisugawa Hoshina took a deep breath as if to adjust her mood, turned her head away, and her beautiful large eyes showed an air of indifference,

"Blah, blah, what’s this level of embarrassment to me? I’m a bad girl! You think this would make me feel shy? Don’t joke!"

Seeing the Spice Girl still stubbornly talking tough, Haruka just couldn’t help smiling. It was good that she didn’t care; now he didn’t need to worry.

"That’s good, as long as you’re not shy..."

Thinking he had settled the matter, the boy once again sprawled lazily on the sofa, opting not to look at the Spice Girl next to him and already contemplating which anime to watch next.

However, the boy’s dismissive attitude caused Arisugawa Hoshina to pout, and her gaze towards him started to carry a trace of reproach,

Lies don’t hurt people; it’s the truth that cuts deep. It’s all the same principle—the more she tried to prove something, the more it revealed that she didn’t have that something, or maybe that she wasn’t that identity at all.

"I really don’t care!" she emphasized again.

"Yeah, I know!" Haruka Yuzan replied lazily as always.

"You!"

Hmm? What’s this now?

Haruka Yuzan turned his head in curiosity. Hadn’t he just acknowledged her indifference... why was she still angry? He couldn’t understand...

After a moment of thought, the boy added another line,

"What’s wrong? I know you’re a delinquent girl, no shame in that!"

Maybe he was trying to make her admit that she was a Spice Girl? Feeling that his previous attitude had damaged the dignity of a Spice Girl??

Unfortunately, with the mood already set, whatever he said next would take on a different meaning to her ears. In the end, Hoshina Arisugawa, as if to prove something, actually leaned her body in close,

In an instant, before Haruka could even react,

"Smack!"

Rich and fragrant.....

But... the other party was clearly a clumsy rookie with no experience, just pressing hard with no technique... and who kisses with their lips tightly closed anyway!!

Although a bit baffled, Haruka Yuzan quickly caught on,

Just as he was about to give the little Spice Girl a vivid, master-class demonstration, unexpectedly, the little Spice Girl dodged away, causing him to lunge at empty air.....

"How, how was that! I told you, that little thing just now was nothing! Just! Even a kiss! It’s nothing at all!!"

Hoshina Arisugawa wiped her flushed little mouth with the back of her hand; although her face was still red, her eyes were filled with pride and arrogance when looking at the boy, as if saying, "Bet you didn’t expect that! I told you, I’m a pro."

So, was this all to prove she wasn’t embarrassed just now?

But by now, Haruka Yuzan had also realized that this seemingly hot Spice Girl was actually just a pure and clueless rookie!!

Even Misaki Saki knew to flick out the tip of her tongue the first time she kissed.....

This girl! She really was determined to prove herself!

However, touching the corner of his mouth and hearing the little Spice Girl’s voice, Haruka Yuzan tentatively asked,

"This couldn’t have been your first kiss, could it....."

Upon finishing, he started to scrutinize the Spice Girl before him.

And sure enough, when the little Spice Girl heard his words, she completely bristled as if something had been pricked, somewhat defensively but still insisting,

"How, how could that be!! Don’t look down on me just because I’m from Kokoku High! I’m a delinquent girl; how could, how could it still be my first kiss....."

Though she spoke with defiance, Hoshina Arisugawa’s heart was nearly in tears; her first kiss had been given away to the boy before her!!!

She felt aggrieved but couldn’t speak up due to her pride, and could only continue to bluster stubbornly,

"You... you better not belittle me, how could you...."

Even her speech was nervous and stammering, wasn’t it? Seeing this, Haruka Yuzan’s suspicions were confirmed and he secretly smiled, then... he shrugged indifferently, and said,

"If it wasn’t your first kiss, then why didn’t you even know to stick out your tongue just now?"

As he spoke, Haruka Yuzan waved his hand with a hint of disappointment,

"So that’s what the little Spice Girl is like, just so-so!!!"

"Damn you!! I, I just forgot, that’s all. Don’t you get cocky!!!"

The boy’s irritating words reached Hoshina Arisugawa’s ears, and she couldn’t stand it, aggressively moving in close, then boldly wrapping her arms around Haruka’s neck, delivering another kiss...

This time, with the boy’s hint, she seemed to understand a little of the basics, at least she knew to extend...

But the first contact, with its awkward to the point of cringe-worthy skill, indeed gave Haruka a taste of what’s called sweet pain!

It was actually painful where she bit! The girl clearly had no clue what to do, just fumbling blindly. Haruka Yuzan had no choice but to take the initiative, slipping his hand around her slender waist, pulling the little Spice Girl close into his arms, and starting to take the lead.

For a moment, even the little Spice Girl couldn’t help but be lost in it.

"Mmm mmm mmm!"

But as time progressed, Haruka Yuzan’s hands began to wander.

Even the already pathetically insubstantial clothes…

"Mmm mmm mmm!"

Whether she was breathless, or aware of the boy’s mischievous hands, Hoshina Arisugawa, who had been enjoying herself, suddenly opened her eyes wide.
