Miss Heir wasn't very kind to me.

Chapter 321, Section 7: "Can wonderful things still happen even when relationships are strained?"

The early April mornings were warm and pleasant, the weather outside the window was lovely, which put me in a good mood.

"Oh, it's already the next morning..."

Masumi sat up and pressed her head.

Although I'm still a little sleepy, my body can move around normally.

"Huh...huh..."

Mio, who was sleeping next to him, was making soft, cute snores.

Her snow-white body could be glimpsed through the gaps in the blankets, her messy blonde hair draped over the sheets.

...Suddenly, I realized that this was probably the first time I had ever seen Mio asleep.

A well-proportioned nose, thick and long eyelashes that are clearly visible even with eyes closed, luscious lips, and pure white and beautiful teeth peeking out from there.

Then, her skin was as smooth and white as porcelain.

It's so beautiful it's breathtaking; you could look at it forever and never get tired of it.

Her eyes and brows showed signs of exhaustion. It must be because Masumi's constant demands had worn her out.

Thank you, Mio.

Masumi stroked her hair with gratitude.

"Well……"

Mio's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she quietly lifted her eyelids, looking at Masumi with sleepy eyes.

"Masumi, aren't you asleep yet?"

"I was asleep, but somehow I woke up."

"so."

Mio squinted, afraid of the light.

"what time is it now?"

"It's 6:30, Mio can still sleep."

"Ah."

Mio smiled gently and whispered in a voice slightly hoarse with emotion, full of charm:
"Masumi, thank you for your hard work."

“Eh? What is this…?”

"That's just how things are, isn't it? The one who does it is probably more tired than the one who gets done, right?"

"Probably, but I'm fine because I've been exercising regularly."

Masumi Miyazawa is a boy who honed his muscles during morning runs and then unleashed them at crucial moments.

By this time, Masumi had come to realize that she was probably what was meant by "extraordinary energy."

"Is that so? Masumi is indeed very strong."

Mio moved her lips, a slight smile playing on her lips. After a moment, she laboriously lifted her head, pressed her body against Masumi's, and whispered in her ear:
"kiss Me."

She covered Masumi's face with a dreamy gaze, her beautifully curved lips pink and slightly swollen, as if to say, "Try it all."

Her once smooth blonde hair now covered her fair skin, dotting her cheeks, resting on her shoulders, and falling across her chest.

Her disheveled appearance and her deep, hoarse voice were a far cry from the aloof, elegant, and noble woman she had appeared to at first sight.

But Masumi had to admit that Mio was now incredibly feminine and made him feel more tender towards her than ever before.

He pressed down on Mio and kissed her lips.

"Mio must be the one who's had the hardest time; she must be exhausted."

"That's not true. I'm willing to respond to anything Masumi wants."

Mio responded naturally, and what was originally just a light peck kiss became more and more tender under Mio's influence.

Masumi didn't even need to look to know that Mio's expression right now must be absolutely stunning.

"...Masumi?"

Masumi suddenly stopped, looked up at Mio, and suddenly felt a dry mouth. The antidote to this dryness was all in Mio's body.

"Hmm...again...?"

"May I?"

"Whatever makes Masumi happy... Ugh..."

Mio responded vaguely, but her body reacted quite honestly.

Masumi thought about her plans for today... The second day of the trip was cherry blossom viewing day, and Masumi found a kimono rental shop online, hoping that the girls could dress up beautifully and have a good time.

Then we just wandered around the city. Masumi booked a sushi restaurant that was very popular on social media, and it was said to be a restaurant worth making a special trip to visit.

Since kimono shops don't open too early, there's not much to do before then, so you can relax and enjoy yourself...

dong dong!

A gentle knock on the door reverberated through the air, and dust motes danced in the morning light.

"Huh?...Are you here to tidy up the room?"

Mio's dazed eyes regained their clarity, and she tilted her head slightly to show her confusion.

"……perhaps."

Masumi sat up and stared blankly into the entrance hall.

At this hour, the hotel staff shouldn't be coming to make the bed yet. To be honest, I feel a little embarrassed that the sheets are in such a mess.

"It's me, Masumi."

A cold voice came from outside the door.

I know who it is without even needing to confirm.

"Rinne? Why would she be here at this time..."

Masumi instinctively showed a flustered expression. If the heir were to see the two of them like this, she would definitely be jealous and furious.

Then, driven by competitiveness, they'll demand the same treatment as Mio, and then...

It seems pretty good.

No, no!

Masumi shook her head to dispel the evil thoughts in her mind, looked at the blonde beauty in front of her, and lowered her voice.

"Mio..."

"I see."

Mio nodded without hesitation.

Huh? So fast?
Masumi was stunned; he hadn't even figured out how to cover it up yet.

Mio continued:

"I'll open the door."

"Eh."

◇

Rinne let out a long sigh of relief in front of the door, her breath extremely hot.

If it were a real cat, its tail would probably be standing straight up right now.

She subconsciously touched behind her, and finding nothing there, she placed her hands on her chest and tightly closed her eyelids.

It's all that person's fault.

I just like cats, I don't want to become a cat, but because of someone's weird sense of humor, I always feel like I have a tail hanging behind me.

Am I really a very horny girl?
No, put those aside for now!
...On the other hand, won't this timing cause him trouble?

After all, she had just said last night, "Let's continue when we get back to the coffee shop, okay?" but now she couldn't resist the urge to come find him.

"……Ugh."

Rinne sighed softly, her hand leaving her chest and lightly touching the door.

In this empty and quiet corridor in the early morning, it seems that only this room has a pleasant temperature.

Rinne took a deep breath, the air seemingly carrying Masumi's scent, washing over her like sunlight, filling her senses. Masumi's warmth and scent always provided an indescribable sense of comfort and security.

Despite feeling so hot inside, my heart yearns for warmth and I feel an unbearable loneliness.

"...Because I am a cat."

The heiress murmured to herself.

It's the kind of cute little animal that will crawl into its favorite owner's bed.

Masumi often teases her like that, doesn't he? So at least in front of him, she can meet his expectations and become a docile and clingy little cat.

So it's only natural that when a kitten feels lonely, it wants to seek the warmth of its favorite owner.

Because I am a cat.

After convincing herself that she had visited this hot spring, which was also visited by Natsume Soseki, the author of "I Am a Cat," Rinne gently knocked on the door with trembling hands.

dong dong!

"..."

In the long silence, only the sound of his heartbeat was particularly loud.

A wave of shame washed over Rinne, making her feel utterly ashamed.

Is he still not awake?
Based on his usual biological clock when he's in a coffee shop, he should already be going for a morning run by now, right?

However, this is a new environment, and I went to bed so late last night, so it's understandable that I slept in a little longer.

It wouldn't be good to wake him up. But...

A wave of hesitation washed over her, and Rinne bit her lower lip tightly.

I still want to see him, as expected.

It's cruel that a trip meant for lovers has to be so difficult.

Before meeting Masumi, Rinne always tried her best to suppress her emotions. Faced with her overwhelming happiness, she often feared the end of that happiness.

So, during the festival where the six of them were traveling together, she made a complete fool of herself, acting cowardly and pathetic, and ran away from the festival.

—Until Masumi scooped her up like a goldfish.

From that moment on, Rinne was determined to find happiness.

So even if it might wake him up, try knocking on the door again.

Rinne clenched her fist again and slowly approached the door.

at this time.

The door clicked open.

Huh? Is he already awake?

Rinne's heart suddenly raced: Wait, what was she going to say?

—Don't get me wrong, I didn't come to you because I wanted to do *that* kind of thing...

It sounds like lines from an anime that Asami-san watched.

My face suddenly feels so hot, what should I do?

However, all these feelings vanished the moment he saw the face of the guy who appeared.

Good morning, Rinne.

ha?
She has dazzling long honey-gold hair, an elegant and dignified swan neck, and slender, beautiful shoulders.

Even to put it conservatively, she is a beauty that anyone would admire; at the very least, it's impossible to suddenly bump into someone like that in a hotel in this area.

The person peeking out from under the door was none other than Kurokawa Mio.

She smiled smugly and leisurely raised her chin to look down at Rinne.

The white shirt she was wearing was a terrible size, and the style looked very familiar, with the front loosely open.

A thin layer of sweat glistened on her fair, firm skin, emanating a nauseating, aroused female scent.

Although the height of the shirt collar had been adjusted, two long, beautiful legs were still exposed, as eye-catching and unrestrained as their owner.

Did I go to the wrong room?

Rinne suppressed the displeasure and irritation welling up inside her and slightly raised her head to glance at the doorplate.

Why is Mio here?

“You’ve come to the right place. Rinne is here to see Masumi, right? But unfortunately, he has something important to do right now, so he doesn’t have time to talk to Rinne. I hope you can come back later.”

Mio said those words with a victor's expression, but the sarcasm hidden behind her smile and her imperious tone made Rinne very unhappy.

"If it's something important, why is Mio still bothering Masumi in the room? It's really troublesome to be stuck with such a heavy woman."

Rinne exuded a strong chill, and the feeling in her heart was like that her territory had been invaded, which was unpleasant.

Mio, who usually gets excited almost instantly, didn't react much to Rinne's provocative remark.

She snorted dismissively, then said with a smile:

"Isn't Rinne well aware of my reason for being in Masumi's room? When a couple is in love, there can only be one thing they do when they're alone together in a room, right?"

"..."

Seeing that Rinne remained silent, Mio seized the opportunity to press her advantage:
"Knowing this perfectly well, Rinne still comes to bother you. Isn't that a lack of self-awareness in the service industry? Can you really run a coffee shop like this?"

"...You guy."

Rinne bit her lower lip, her clenched fist trembling uncontrollably.

She was angry at Mio's infuriating attitude, and also annoyed by Masumi's behavior: one moment they were being romantic under the stars, and the next she was going to Mio to vent her desires.

But upon closer reflection, it seemed perfectly reasonable. Both Mio and he were his lovers, and Masumi hadn't found satisfaction with Mio, so it was only natural for her to seek out Mio to alleviate her loneliness.

That's the rational view.

But emotionally, my mind was occupied by feelings of dissatisfaction.

Last night, Rinne was all alone... while Masumi was in her room with Mio...

Mio had no idea what Rinne was going through. Looking at Rinne, who was frozen in place and silent, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly with a nonchalant expression, full of provocation.

"What? Rinne isn't curious about how much Masumi dotes on me and what sweet nothings she's said to me, is she? But unfortunately, that's a private matter between lovers, and I can't tell you~"

"I have absolutely no interest in that kind of thing."

Rinne answered in a cold voice:

"Anyway, Masumi must have agreed to Mio's request because she found it troublesome, or rather, she had no other choice."

"There's nothing I can do!"

Mio's eyes widened, her cheeks flushed instantly, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

"Otherwise, Mio's usual and monotonous tactic is to pester Masumi relentlessly. Being clung to by a heavy woman is really troublesome!"

The provocation, which had already been made once, finally worked at this moment.

Mio's face immediately darkened.

She stared at Rinne with her dull, dark eyes, and the aura surrounding her instantly became even darker.

The provocative smile turned into a faint, murderous grin.

"Masumi and I have come this far because of our unwavering love for each other. Don't make those vulgar speculations."

"Who's really the one who's despicable?"

Rinne retorted sharply, and without saying another word, she pushed past Mio and barged into the room.

"Hey, wait a minute, you're not allowed in—"

The room was cramped, and the door was only two or three steps away from the bed.

"Uh, good morning, Rinne..."

Masumi gave an awkward smile and greeted Rinne with this greeting.

But the heiress had no intention of exchanging pleasantries. Looking down at Masumi sitting on the bed, she and Mio, who had followed with a wary expression, spoke firmly:

"Between me and Mio, who will satisfy you more?"
