Miss Heir wasn't very kind to me.

Chapter 288, Section 5: "Rinne Kamishiro would like to ask for your guidance."

She ran her hand through her black hair, tidying up the stray strands, and looked at her usual reflection in the mirror with a blank gaze:

Her face, outlined by black hair, had soft lines; her skin was very fair; and her deep, pale purple eyes resembled cat eyes when they were wide open.

Rinne turned on the hot water tap in the bathroom and stood there in a daze for a while while waiting.

Once the water got hot, the heiress lowered her head and washed her face with the sound of running water.

Next, I soaked a cotton pad with some toner and wiped my entire face. I also checked the shape of my eyebrows. They look fine.

As Rinne felt her skin absorbing the toner, she squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush and began brushing her teeth.

Halfway through brushing my teeth, the bathroom door opened.

"Hmm, it's little, little Rinne!"

It's rare to see Asami not having messed up her hair while sleeping.

Was it just an illusion? The moment she saw herself, her half-closed brown pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a hint of guilt.

Rinne put down her toothbrush, opened her lips, and spoke calmly.

Good morning, Asami-nee.

As she spoke, she made room for Mami.

"Mmm, good morning."

Asami quickly washed her face as if she wanted to resist communicating, and then brushed her teeth with Rinne.

I brushed carefully, making sure to brush even the back of my molars.

After brushing my mouth until it was full of foam, I filled a glass with water from the tap, rinsed my mouth with it, and then spat out the toothpaste water to wipe my mouth.

At first, Rinne just felt that "Mami-nee seems a little different than usual."

Then, slowly, from her actions, especially the sensual atmosphere emanating from the movement of her throat, Rinne seemed to sense something and narrowed her eyes.

A sharp, scrutinizing gaze fell upon Mami.

She was only wearing a white shirt, and her unreserved attire was no different from usual, to which Rinne had given up trying to correct her.

Suddenly, a sense of unease arose within the range of my visual search.

Rinne narrowed her eyes, searching for the source of the incongruity, when she suddenly noticed a sweaty finger mark on Mami's buttocks, which were half covered by her shirt.

"...!"

Rinne remained unmoved.

Splash, splash—Mami finished rinsing her mouth and wiped it with a towel.

Just as she was about to leave, Rinne suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Ms. Mami."

"Huh? What's up?"

Mami was taken aback.

"Come here for a moment, I have something to ask you."

"Huh? What is it—wait a minute! Don't pull it."

Without saying a word, Rinne dragged Mami out of the bathroom and into her own room.

Completely bewildered, Mami sat upright on the floor—although Rinne hadn't made that request, she had already shown weakness like a cowardly coward.

"Then I'll get straight to the point, Asami-nee, what's going on between you and Masumi?"

The heiress got straight to the point.

"what!"

Asami was surprised and stammered.

"No, nothing. Why did you suddenly ask that, Rinne?"

She turned her face away, avoiding the main point, and shyly played with the ends of her hair with her fingertips.

The reaction couldn't be clearer.

Rinne's eyes stared directly at her with strong, powerful gaze.

"Really?"

"real!"

Mami nodded frantically.

"What about the handprint on Mami's butt? Did you leave that yourself?"

Rinne crossed her arms, giving him an expression that seemed to be ready to interrogate him.

"Oh! That's—"

Unable to explain herself, Mami simply gave up, lowered her head, clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth.

"That idiot Masumi-kun! He hit me so many times last night and he still wasn't satisfied. When I was about to leave, he kept talking about punishing me by slapping my butt... He's a complete scumbag, a pervert, a sadist!"

As if remembering something, Mami looked dazed, her plump thighs unconsciously rubbing against each other.

"...Only a pervert would feel good because of that. Normally, being spanked like that would only hurt!"

"So you..."

Rinne's cheeks slowly flushed crimson.

But then again, how could things have progressed so quickly?

I should have been the one leading the way!
Could it be that the so-called "run-up period" is longer, which allows the relationship to develop more rapidly?

The heiress pondered this matter with fluctuating emotions.

With her head down, Mami couldn't see any of this. She steeled herself, made up her mind, and suddenly raised her face, looking directly at Rinne.

"I know everything! About Rinne and Masumi-kun!"

"Eh?"

Rinne was taken aback.

"Or rather, I witnessed it with my own eyes."

"Witnessed with my own eyes..."

Rinne murmured the same words, then her cheeks flushed red like a boiled octopus. She quickly turned her head away, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"I really didn't expect..."

Asami crossed her arms and said something meaningful.

"Rinne looks like an ice queen, but she has such a contrasting side."

"Enough! Mami-nee!"

Rinne, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up to stop her from speaking so recklessly. How did the roles of interrogator and interrogated person suddenly reverse?

"Never!"

Mami ignored it all.

"I will keep interrogating Rinne until she is completely flustered and unable to continue!"

"That's enough!"

Rinne spoke in a cold voice.

The blush lingered, and her indifferent expression made her resemble an ice rose.

When Mami saw that expression, she was so frightened that her voice and shoulders began to tremble.

"Yes Yes!"

She answered in a soft voice, then immediately leaned back.

Seeing Mami's cowardly appearance, Rinne sighed, rubbing her forehead, and muttered under her breath.

"...I'm also very shy about that kind of thing."

"Eh?"

"I'm so shy, I want to find a crack in the ground to hide in!"

Rinne spoke clearly this time.

"If it weren't for the fact that it would make him happy, I wouldn't..."

"Wow! Rinne is so cute."

"Ms. Mami."

"Feel sorry!"

Mami immediately raised the white flag and surrendered.

Rinne sighed again, looking at Mami who still seemed a little uneasy, and said gently.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame Mami-nee."

"Huh!? Really?"

Mami's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Doesn't Rinne really feel that I stole your man, that she's jealous and angry, and that she wants to physically eliminate me?"

"Judging from what Mami-nee said, it's a little bit, no, maybe a little bit."

Rinne said calmly.

"Alas!"

Mami couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

"However, if Mami-nee knew me, she would know that I'm not that kind of person."

"Yes, yes, in older sister's eyes, Rinne is a very magnanimous girl~"

Mami nodded vigorously, even showing a fawning smile, which was completely inconsistent with her self-proclaimed "big sister".

"too exaggerated."

Rinne closed her eyes helplessly, but after a moment she adopted a slightly awkward posture and called out.

"Ms. Mami."

"Ok?"

Mami was taken aback at first, but after seeing Rinne's shy, teenage-girl-like expression, she understood everything. She tilted her head meaningfully and said:

"Oh my, is Rinne curious... about what it's like?"

Rinne took a small breath.

Of course I'd be curious.

It's impossible not to be curious.

But she never expected that Asami, who was even less experienced than herself, would now be the one teaching her—
"Hum~"

Asami wore a relaxed and comfortable smile.

"There's really no other way. If Rinne decides to ask me for advice, I can share my knowledge too~"

Suddenly, they became aloof and superior.

"Although I'm a little shy, even the usually smart and reliable Rinne has come to ask for help from her older sister, so there's nothing I can do about it~ It's a junior asking a senior for help~"

Rinne suddenly understood Masumi a little. If she were Masumi, she would definitely not be able to resist teaching this smug idiot a lesson.

-- To think we have to ask someone like that for advice!

But there were no other options.

"...Please, Mami-nee."

Rinne, abandoning her previous assertiveness, now seemed to be enduring humiliation and humbly seeking her advice.

Asami made no attempt to hide her sense of superiority, smiling smugly.

"I really can't do anything with Rinne~ Sigh, since you've asked so sincerely, then I'll—"

"Ms. Mami."

Rinne raised her voice slightly to stop her from launching into a long, pointless rant.

"Ahem! Well then, enough of the small talk, let's answer Rinne's questions."

After using this as her opening line, she began to share with great joy.

"Oh, how should I describe it... In short... it's very warm, isn't it?"

"warmth?"

"Is it a combination of psychological and physiological effects? We're closer than usual, sharing each other's heartbeats and warmth... I'm excited but also at ease, it feels warm and incredible... Hehehe, sorry, I can't help but smile."

Asami grinned happily, her lips radiating joy.

Rinne, who had initially just felt a little awkward, became even more furious upon seeing her like this.

Rinne forcefully suppressed her nameless anger and said in an urging tone.

"And then? I heard it's very painful. Were you alright, Mami-nee?"

"Well..."

...The reaction started to go wrong.

Seeing that Mami's eyes suddenly started to flicker, Rinne continued to press for answers.

"Ms. Mami?"

"Woooo..."

Asami covered her face as if she were about to cry, then whispered in a barely audible voice:
"...It really hurt so much. I'm such a coward. If Masumi-kun hadn't covered my mouth, I would have definitely messed it up."

"Ugh."

Hearing Rinne's soft sigh, Mami raised her head with tears in her eyes.

"Who could bear such pain! Everyone would feel the same way! I'm sure of it!"

"No matter who Mami wants to drag into this, your first experience memory is already set. Accept the facts."

Rinne sighed deeply. "Ahhh, please stop talking!"

Mami clutched her head and shook it frantically.

It seems that reality is not necessarily as wonderful as depicted in movies, TV dramas, or entertainment works.

Although Rinne didn't have that kind of plan for the time being, she was starting to feel a little hesitant.

"I always feel that Asami tends to mess things up at crucial moments."

"Little Rinne is still a virgin, so she has no right to talk about me!"

Rinne's eyebrows twitched, and she was immediately speechless.

So far, Asami has delivered the most powerful rebuttal.

"Waaah~ I really want to show the composure of a mature woman, but I just can't."

Perhaps finally unable to bear it, Rinne patted her shoulder with concern.

"However, Masumi must have comforted you properly."

She recalled that time at the Shinshiro Shrine, and Masumi's incredibly gentle gaze...

"how could it be possible!"

Ms. Mami got even angrier when the topic came up.

"Masumi-kun completely disregards my feelings and only thinks about pushing his luck!"

"Huh? Is he that kind of person?"

"That's right!"

Mami nodded indignantly.

"Isn't Masumi-kun like that with Rinne?"

"what."

Rinne was suddenly stumped by the question. It must be that Mami-nee did something to anger him. The heir stood on the young master's side without even thinking.

However, saying this would probably hurt Mami's feelings, so she changed the subject and asked.

“...Um, Mami-nee.”

"Ok?"

"There's something else I'd like to ask you."

Rinne took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of resolute decision.

"Oh? What? What?"

Asami's eyes lit up. Although she was the oldest in the coffee shop, it was an unprecedented opportunity for her to be asked for advice by a junior, especially by Rinne, who always took care of others.

So she seemed quite excited.

"Could it be the same as before..."

"This is an extension of what we were just discussing."

Rinne said, trying her best to remain calm.

"Yes, yes, just ask whatever you want."

Mami proudly puffed out her chest at her.

"that is……"

Seeing Rinne hesitate and appear to want to speak but then stop, Mami's demeanor changed from her previous lack of composure.

"It's okay, Rinne, we're friends... no! We're more than friends, we're family."

"……family."

"That's right, so you don't need to feel guilty, just say it."

She acted like a senior who took good care of her juniors, and it was effective.

Rinne mustered her courage, parted her lips slightly, and asked:

"How did Mami-nee... approach him?"

"what?"

"So... how did Asami-nee... create that kind of atmosphere with Masumi...?"

"Oh?"

As if she understood everything perfectly, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Could it be that Rinne is...?"

"No! I don't have that kind of plan at the moment, I just... want to know how to make the other person have that kind of desire..."

Otherwise, I'd have to do it myself every time...

"Yes, Rinne, you don't need to say anything more. I understand perfectly!"

Asami crossed her arms and murmured smugly, as if she understood the whole story.

Then she reliably puffed out her chest and said:
"But actually, it was Masumi-kun who took the initiative in this matter."

"Oh."

"Don't become so indifferent and lose interest so quickly!"

Mami hurriedly patched the hole.

"Although I don't know what medicine Masumi-kun suddenly took and turned from a herbivore into a carnivore, things wouldn't have progressed so quickly if I hadn't been the one to send out the signals!"

Asami pouted defiantly.

"Signal?"

Linyin tilted her head slightly to express her confusion.

"That's right, a signal, and not just a superficial one. Simply put, it's using suggestive actions to arouse the other person's interest while also conveying your own needs."

"What Mami-nee said makes perfect sense."

"Of course."

Mami gave a slightly smug snort through her nose.

"But to be more specific—"

Rinne didn't understand. She had already gone to such lengths before, and if she went any further, wouldn't she just be a pervert?

"It's very simple."

Ma Mei smiled slightly, looking relaxed.

"Just pack up your unsuspecting self and deliver yourself to their doorstep!"

◇

I shouldn't have asked Asami-nee for advice.

Extremely regretful, Rinne couldn't help but let out a troubled sigh.

Right now, my mind is filled with all sorts of random thoughts, making it impossible for me to work properly.

"what happened?"

Masumi looked at her reaction with puzzlement. From the moment they met in the morning until now, when she was cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast, the heiress had been looking absent-minded.

"No, it's nothing."

Rinne avoided eye contact.

Masumi sighed. Why are all the girls in the coffee shop such bad actors?

But since Rinne was unwilling to say, he didn't intend to force her.

"Let me help you pack."

"okay."

As Masumi walked toward the pool, the back of her hand accidentally touched something soft.

"ah!"

Rinne cried out in fright, like a cat that had been splashed with water, and jumped back a step.

"Huh, Rinne?"

Judging from the feel, it was easy to guess, but it should only be a little bit and shouldn't matter, but Rinne's reaction was unexpectedly strong.

"What are you..."

Rinne was seen defensively protecting her chest with both hands.

"Sorry, did I hurt you?"

"No, there isn't."

Rinne gently shook her head.

"only……"

Rinne's face flushed crimson, and her gaze began to wander restlessly.

Oh no, because I discussed that kind of thing with Asami-nee before, I subconsciously started imagining it...

"Completely unprepared."

That word came to mind.

My current actions are completely counterproductive.

So--

Rinne suddenly opened her arms.

If you lie on your back, you'll look like a cat surrendering in defeat.

However, she is standing now, and it looks as if she is asking for a hug.

Moreover, Rinne was indeed staring into his eyes as if she were asking for something.

That fair face was so close, those beautiful purple eyes so tender and gentle, that Masumi wanted to fix her gaze on those pupils forever, but—

Masumi's gaze, however, was drawn to the chest beneath that face.

That posture made it seem as if he was letting Masumi do whatever she wanted with her breasts that were pushing up her uniform top, causing Masumi to swallow hard.

Could it be that...?

No, but it's still daytime!
No, no, no, although there's no law that says you can only do that at night.

But at least, Mio is still outside!
After realizing this, he immediately came to his senses.

"Rinne?"

After Masumi called her name, the heiress's snow-white skin instantly flushed red, even down to the roots of her neck.

"Huh? Oh, no, that's not it—"

Rinne panicked, a rare occurrence for her.

"Miss Mio, may I borrow your eyeshadow palette?"

"Oh, it's alright."

"Hooray! Miss Mio, no, it should be Lady Mio!"

Even though the thin curtain blocked their view, Rinne's heart was still in her throat. She turned around in a panic, her face tense.

"Sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Rinne wanted to end the conversation abruptly and cut off the jumbled thoughts in her mind, when suddenly someone hugged her from behind.

The voices of Asami and Mio could be heard coming from the nearby dining area; they seemed to be chatting calmly about something.

However, their conversation didn't reach Rinne's ears at all; just dealing with the sensation of the boy hugging her from behind was enough to keep her thinking racing.

"…Is it really impossible?"

After Masumi whispered something in her ear, Rinne shifted her body, feeling ticklish.

"Hmm... it wouldn't be good if someone saw us... so, just a little while."

"That's it."

Masumi pinned Rinne against the wall, capturing her like she was catching a runaway cat.

Rinne was stunned and stood there, tilting her head and slightly parting her lips.

Masumi suddenly stepped forward and pressed her lips to those of the heiress.

He kissed Rinne while gently holding her shoulders.

"Wait! Doing this first thing in the morning is a foul!"

After being thoroughly ravaged by Masumi, Rinne finally parted her lips, her eyebrows furrowed in protest.

"I thought Rinne was hinting at something to me."

Masumi chuckled in a low voice.

Oh no! He was right. No, that's not right! I was just... being a little coquettish.

Although I don't object, but... not now!
Ah, really.

Gazing at Rinne's ever-changing face, Masumi suddenly murmured in Rinne's ear.

"I like Rinne."

"—I like you too."

After finishing speaking, Rinne leaned gently on Masumi's shoulder without saying a word.

For lovers, verbal responses are a given.

After kissing again, the two remained close to each other's faces, almost touching, gazing into each other's eyes.

Until the moment before Mio's voice urged them to come out of the kitchen, their kisses were just repeated over and over again.
