Miss Heir wasn't very kind to me.

Chapter 74 5. "And then, continue with the daily life at the cafe"

The chirping of cicadas announces the arrival of summer.

Masumi woke up from the sweltering heat, feeling uncomfortable with the sweat sticking to his body.

He fumbled for his cell phone from the bedside. The time was 5:57, but the sky was already bright, and the sunlight shining through the gaps in the curtains was rippling slightly.

June is the month with the longest daylight hours in Kobe, but in previous years the actual daylight hours would be affected by the gloomy air during the plum rain season. However, this year is a rare early plum rain season, with the plum rain front starting and ending early.

Today’s highest temperature is... 30 degrees. Is it really that hot?
He then checked the weather for the past week, and after finding that only today was an exception, Masumi breathed a sigh of relief.

Masumi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, then walked down to the third floor in her home clothes. She heard the sound of a hair dryer in front of the bathroom.

"Good morning."

He greeted Rinone who was drying her hair with a hairdryer.

"Well, good morning."

Rin nodded, stretched out the coiled cord at the end of the hair dryer, made way for the sink, and gestured with her eyes for Masumi to come over.

"Did you sleep poorly last night?"

Masumi took another look at those beautiful purple eyes. The girl's skin was too fair, so any dark circles would be very obvious.

"It's not very good." Linyin told the truth, and she didn't think there was any need to prevaricate.

"…Because of Kurokawa?"

Although it was a question, before she could answer, Masumi's apologetic voice came immediately: "Sorry, it's because of me."

"Yeah." Lin Yin nodded, then shook her head and said, "It's not entirely your fault. After all, you clearly refused last night."

After a brief hesitation, she opened her lips and said, "...I think that person is very dangerous. You have to be careful."

"Danger?"

Masumi repeated the adjective in surprise, then smiled nonchalantly, "I spent a few months with her in Tokyo. Aside from the emotional weight, she's generally a very easy person to get along with."

"My extreme behavior last night was probably caused by my irresponsible and unilateral breakup."

Masumi sighed and walked to the sink.

Rin looked at Masumi, who showed guilt, with hesitation. The "concern" that Mr. Jing Jian asked for flashed through her mind. She frowned and thought about it, then uttered sonorous and powerful words from her soft lips.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what she does in the future..."

"I will protect you."

The girl with long black hair spoke in a firm voice.

"Why does it feel like you're saying Rei Ayanami's lines?" Masumi laughed.

"Ayanami Rei?"

"Hmm... She's the heroine of a popular anime."

Masumi was surprised. EVA is probably a household name in the island country, and because it often collaborates with trendy brands in the fashion industry, it is definitely not unfamiliar to young people.

"Hearing you say that, I have some impression."

Linyin rubbed her chin with one hand and thought: "Is it the girl with short blue hair...long hair? I saw someone carrying her bag in college, and I also saw it on the packaging of KATE's lipstick palette."

"Ah."

"It seems like you, Kamishiro, don't watch anime at all."

“I watch it occasionally.”

"What is it?" Masumi asked curiously.

"Red-haired girl Anne."

The answer Rinyin gave felt very unfamiliar to him.

"It's a very old animation, adapted from a foreign novel called Anne of Green Gables. When I was a kid in an orphanage, I watched it on videotape with everyone else."

"I see." Masumi nodded slightly and asked, "What was it about?"

"The story of a girl named Annie who left the orphanage and was adopted by the Cuthbert siblings, and then went about her business."

"It sounds like a very heartwarming story."

"That's right."

“If you read gentle stories for a long time, you will feel like you can become gentle too.”

"Maybe."

Rin said expressionlessly, pressing the switch of the hair dryer with her fingertips, and a whistling sound was heard.

Masumi took one last look at the girl with long straight black hair, and his gaze subconsciously slid down along the rippling hair. After catching sight of the deformed and twisted black cat on her chest, he quickly retracted his gaze.

He turned on the faucet and the water was still warm. He didn't rush to wash his face, but picked up the toothbrush to brush his teeth first.

Linyin stood near the corridor and blew her hair. The moisture gradually dissipated under the hot wind. The early morning light refracted in from the window deep in the corridor, scattering tiny specks of light on the ripples of soft light, jumping into a prolonged note.

The note ended with a neat ponytail, hiding the brilliance flowing through the hair, and Rin Yin tied up her hair with a hairband.

"My hair is getting a little long." Masumi said to himself.

"Ok?"

Rinyin looked up in confusion.

"Oh, I mean myself."

Masumi looked in the mirror and pushed down her hair. She had just had her hair cut at the beginning of the month, so was it growing too fast?
Thinking about it carefully, the last time I went to the hair salon, I only trimmed the loose hair covering the back of my neck and eyebrows. Logically, I should go to the hair salon once every 20 days or so to trim the ends of my hair regularly to maintain the style.

For some reason, this reminds Masumi of fan sites like fanclub, with a monthly subscription fee of 4000 yen?

"...If you don't mind, I can help you cut it."

Rinne said, looking at his hair.

"Can you cut your hair?"

"Girls can trim their own bangs, and I often cut the children's hair when I was in the orphanage."

After Rinyin finished explaining, she suddenly felt that her unsolicited offer was a bit inappropriate, so she immediately refuted herself and said, "But I only know how to cut hair short. I've never cut a boy's hair before. Forget it..."

"It's ok."

Masumi pressed the pump head of the facial cleanser, but it seemed that it was almost empty, so only a little came out. He then pressed it a few more times, and as a result, the sink was covered with foam, which slowly slid to the bottom of the sink and was sucked into the drain bit by bit.

As he lathered the cleanser in his hands, he replied, "I don't have any requirements for my hairstyle."

"In Tokyo, I just go to any hair salon and get my hair cut short. As long as it doesn't get in the way, it's fine."

"so."

"Let my hair grow longer..." Masumi scooped up some clean water and washed the foam off his face. "Then I'll leave it to you."

"it is good."

Hearing the girl behind him respond faintly, Masumi wiped the moisture off his face with a towel. His skin, washed with facial cleanser, felt smooth to the touch.

He was about to raise his head from the sink when he suddenly felt something entering the back of his neck.

The soft touch and the tip made her skin itchy. Masumi reached out to touch it and found it was a few strands of hair.

"Kamiyo?" Masumi blurted out, and her heart skipped a beat. "The taste is wrong... Is it Kurokawa?"

"Is Masumi familiar with Rin's scent?"

The voice coming from behind was gentle, but it contained a hint of coldness that made people's backs chill.

"I'm talking about the smell of shampoo."

"Oh, I haven't washed my hair today, and I don't have any shampoo to use."

More and more honey-gold hair hung on Masumi's shoulders and around her neck, and at the same time, a warm and fragrant moist scent enveloped her.

"So my taste is still blank right now."

Kurokawa Mio lay on Masumi's back, breathing hot air from her lips: "If it's Masumi, you can dye me the color you like."

"That bottle of blue shampoo is mine."

Masumi said nonchalantly, breaking free from her pressing movements from the side.

Rin's cold voice also fell directly into her ears: "The orange bottle is my shampoo, Mio can use it as you like."

"Thank you, Masumi and Rinne."

Kurokawa Mio's smile remained unchanged.

She was still wearing the black silk nightgown from last night. When Macheng saw it, he immediately held his forehead and said, "Why did you come out wearing this?"

"Because it's hot, isn't it? I want to relax a little."

Kurokawa Mio grabbed the collar of her dress with her slender hands and pulled it up, while Rin came closer quietly and pulled down the hem of her nightgown.

"Even if it's hot, you can't be so 'relaxed', Mio, I'll go back to your room with you to change clothes."

She pushed the girl with honey-gold hair into the room. Kurokawa Mio frowned slightly, but did not resist. She followed Rinone back to the room obediently.

Masumi let out a quiet breath.

Just because he has no love for Kurokawa Mio doesn't mean he can remain calm towards that charming female body. This is a male's biological instinct. You can say he is lustful, but in order to avoid making mistakes, he can only keep his distance as much as possible.

It was obvious that when they were in Tokyo, the two of them had maintained this sense of distance very well. Could it be that because his unilateral breakup was too extreme, Kurokawa's behavior inevitably became excessive?
I must find a chance to explain things to her. Shaking his head, Masumi returned to his room to change clothes. It was time for his daily morning run.

It was absolutely impossible to wear sportswear in this weather, so Masumi put it in the closet. Summer vacation started from today, a summer vacation so long that it would make people lose patience.

I walked out of the room and down to the first floor. Just as I was about to push the door open and leave the coffee shop, a familiar voice rang in my ears again:

"Masumi, are you going out?"

"Yeah, I'm going for a morning run."

"Huh? So Masumi has started exercising. No wonder his body lines have become stronger."

That curvaceous body once again pressed against him like a white snake, soft and boneless.

"Masumi's back is really broad. Even though he's tall and thin, he's still a boy after all."

"Stop it, Kurokawa. I'm going for a run."

Masumi sighed and turned around in a troubled manner.

Kurokawa Mio was wearing something similar to a gymnastics suit and was looking at him with a sweet smile.

She was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and high-waisted gray sports shorts. It was undeniable that the proportions of her lower body were quite good. Her beautiful legs were white and rosy with graceful curves. Masumi had never seen a butt that looked so good in sports shorts.

"I also want to exercise occasionally, so take me with you."

"Don't you always hate sports?"

"People can't stay the same forever." She smiled with narrowed eyes. "And running is good for your health, isn't it?"

"In that case, let me join in."

The person who said this calmly and walked towards this side was the acting store manager of Fanxing, Rinne Kamishiro, whose tight summer sportswear faithfully outlined the plump and full body of her body.

"Isn't Rinone supposed to prepare breakfast?"

Kurokawa Mio tilted her head and asked, "Won't it be too late to come back from your morning run?"

"I usually prepare the time-consuming parts in advance, so there won't be any delay." Rinyin answered without a single mistake.

"Well," Kurokawa Mio held her snow-white chin with her fingertips, hummed softly with her delicate nose, and a smile appeared in her eyes again: "Then let's go running together."

"..."

You haven't even asked for my opinion yet. Masumi sighed.

"Are you guys... okay? Don't force yourself."

"No problem!" Kurokawa Mio answered confidently.

It's just not very convincing.

Masumi had two more companions for his morning run today.

When I walked outside, the air was hot, but because of the wind, it was still within an acceptable range.

Only Kurokawa Mio frowned and said, "It's so hot." She was not lying. This person was indeed very afraid of heat.

"Mio, if you feel hot, you can go back. It will get even hotter if you run later."

Rin said expressionlessly.

“…It doesn’t seem particularly hot.”

Kurokawa Mio began to stretch her limbs as if nothing had happened. "I think I can hold on."

"Don't push yourself."

Masumi shook his head slightly and started doing a set of warm-up exercises with the two girls to make their joints more flexible.

The graceful curves of the two beautiful girls are bathed in the morning light.

"Mr. Masumi, could you please guide me step by step? It doesn't feel quite right."

With the corners of her eyes raised, Kurokawa Mio blinked her beautiful eyes and said to Masumi.

"There's no such thing as right. Just being able to stretch your body is enough."

"Eh."

The girl, who looked cool and cool, puffed up her cheeks, revealing a contrastingly cute side. However, after realizing that this was inappropriate, she immediately returned to her normal state.

"Today I'm running along this street to the beach and back again, which is about five kilometers."

Masumi talked about his plans for today's morning run.

This was the route he took when he first started jogging in the morning. In fact, for a beginner, even five kilometers is still very difficult.

"So don't force it."

Masumi gave this earnest warning, mainly to Kurokawa.

After all, they had formed a band together before, and among the four of them, only the drummer, who required the most physical strength, and the bassist, who was the best at dancing, could be considered to have excellent physical fitness.

"I understand." ×2
A gentle and sweet voice and a clear and awe-inspiring voice sounded at the same time.

One man and two women began jogging along the path Masumi had set out.

In the past, Masumi always went jogging alone in the morning, so naturally there was nothing to see. Now, with two charming beauties following him, he inevitably attracted the attention of passers-by, but they all returned empty-handed in front of Kurokawa Mio.

Her cold face was quite oppressive, revealing an expression that said, "Only Masumi can see my body. You are not worthy. If you look again, I will dig out your eyes."

Of course, human facial expressions cannot convey such complex lines. This is just Masumi's irresponsible imagination. In fact, when Kurokawa Mio swept her majestic gaze, passers-by all looked away.

A sharp beauty like her is very stressful just to look at.

For the first ten minutes or so, all three of them were at ease. Kurokawa Mio would occasionally speed up and run closer to Masumi, teasing her with explicit words.

But after running two kilometers, she began to tremble, her breathing became rapid, and her face looked painful.

"Okay, I'm so tired... No... I can't hold on any longer."

"Don't stop, Kurokawa." Masumi turned around and said to her. The most taboo thing when running is to stop suddenly. "If you stop suddenly in the middle of a run, you can easily get injured."

"Even if Masumi... said so... I would..."

Kurokawa Mio shrugged her shoulders and gasped almost like she was sobbing. Her exhausted body had completely lost its sharpness. The cold and pure ice and snow turned into clear water, outlining her brightly colored muscles and bones.

"Don't be impatient. You can walk slowly at first, but you must not stop and stand still." Masumi said, "As you walk, you will have the energy to run again."

This uphill section was indeed quite arduous. Kurokawa Mio, who was exhausted, was swaying even when she walked slowly, which reminded Masumi of the sleep-deprived Hanekawa Kaizuki, who had to rely on Rin's help to keep her feet steady.

Taking a look at the still at ease Kamishiro Rin, Masumi couldn't help but sigh, she is indeed a student of Kobe University.

Kobe University is built on a mountainside, and there are not only various steep slopes but also many stairs on campus.

In the island country, students from the University of Tokyo like to talk about exams, students from Osaka University tearfully talk about the importance of credits and reports, and students from Shinkansen University think about how to cope with the morning classes with the little energy left after climbing the hill.

In this way, they finally reached the grass embankment by the sea. The green grass was wet with dew and sparkled in the morning light. Masumi said, "I'll go buy some water" and left.

Kurokawa Mio's body was limp as she fell onto the wet grass bank. She used the little strength she had left to take off her shoes and socks. Her bare feet felt itchy when they touched the tender grass covered with morning dew.

"Mio, it seems that you are the one who needs practice the most among the three of us."

Rin'in had her usual cold expression on her face as she taunted Kurokawa Mio.

However, the latter had no strength to fight back. She just tilted her head back and slightly opened her red lips, trying to get more air.

The girl with honey-gold hair looked so soft that it was hard for Linyin to imagine that she had been clamped by her wrist last night and could not move.

When she thought of this, a delicious shyness suddenly appeared on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and her ears and cheeks were covered with a thin pink, which made Linyin feel a little embarrassed and annoyed. She hated showing her weakness.

Kurokawa Mio took a long breath, and after regaining some of her composure, she immediately asked Rin:
"When I regain my strength, I can keep you in bed for a whole day—"

"——I came back from buying water."

Masumi walked over with three bottles of Pocari Sweat in his arms, frowning slightly. He wondered if he had just heard some outrageous topic, something like "pressing on the bed".

"Ah~ Thank you Masumi."

Kurokawa Mio took the bottle of water and forced a smile. She was still far from recovering her strength.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately covered his eyes and cheeks with his hands, and said in a trembling voice:
"Don't, don't look at me... This is not the real me..."

"..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Masumi was confused.

"Anyway...don't look at me..."

She folded her hands to cover her eyes, her fair cheeks flushed, and a few incoherent moans came out from between her lips.

I always feel something indescribable is strange.

"Oh."

Masumi looked away nonchalantly.

Rin, who was watching silently, nodded slightly as if she understood what was going on. "I don't want to show my weakness in front of the people I care about." That was the answer.

The three of them rested quietly on the grass embankment for a while, and when the morning dew evaporated in the gradually hot sunlight, they finally started to walk back.
