Collapse Iron: Cosplaying the Near-Death Star, but with a full destiny.

"You...you let go of me!"

Xing's voice changed tone, and her face turned so red it was almost bleeding.

"I won't let go."

Hoshino's left hand was still there, her fingers still moving.

"You splashed water all over my face when you hugged me just now, I'm collecting interest on that."

"There's no interest involved!"

Xing reached out to pry Xing's hand off, but the other person only had one hand, and she was afraid that if she used too much force, she would hurt Xing's empty right shoulder.

This timid and hesitant attitude only made her more passive.

"Look at you, you're even reluctant to use your strength."

Hoshi tilted his head, looking smug.

"I'm disabled, what can you do with me?"

"Are you going to hit me?"

"You want to hit someone like me who only has one hand left?"

"..."

Xing's temples throbbed.

She took a deep breath.

His gaze swept over Hoshino's smug face, over her wet hair, over her body wrapped only in a bath towel, and over her dark chest, which looked like a piece had been ripped out.

At last.

It landed on the left hand that was causing trouble.

"it is good."

Xing's voice suddenly became calm.

"you're right."

You only have one hand.

"I really can't do anything to you."

Mohoshi paused for a moment.

Something just doesn't feel right.

next second.

The stars are moving.

She didn't back down or struggle; instead, she took a step forward.

He grabbed Hoshino's shoulders with both hands.

then.

Push hard.

"Why?"

Before Hoshino could react, she was pushed backward.

Her back slammed against the edge of the huge bathtub in the bathroom.

He lost his balance and fell straight down.

wow-

Water splashed everywhere.

The warm bathwater submerged her back and shoulders.

The bath towel floated in the water for a couple of seconds before drifting away, quite disloyally.

"Holy crap?!"

Hoshino instinctively tried to brace herself against the edge of the bathtub with her left hand, but with only one hand, she couldn't hold on at all.

Her body slid deeper, the water overflowing her collarbone and the dark, ethereal mark.

The mark looked even more eerie underwater, like a black hole in the water's surface where all the light disappeared.

"You..."

Hoshi tried to struggle to get up, but Hoshi didn't give her a chance.

The silver-gray-haired girl stepped directly into the bathtub, placed her hands on Hoshino's shoulders, and held her firmly in the water.

The two people's postures were very subtle.

Xing knelt in the bathtub, the water reaching her waist.

Hoshi lay half-reclined beneath her, only her head above the water, her left hand gripping the edge of the bathtub, unable to move.

The air was thick with moisture.

The warm yellow light shone through the mist, casting a hazy glow on the silhouettes of the two people.

"Now."

Hoshi lowered her head and looked at Hoshi, whom she had pressed into the water.

Something was changing in her grey-gold eyes.

"Can you still run?"

Hoshi blinked.

then.

She smiled.

"Wow."

Her voice was filled with laughter, showing no sign of suppressed embarrassment.

"A counterattack?"

"I'm pretty amazing myself."

Xing frowned.

She realized that she seemed to have forgotten something.

The person named Shihoshi... never panics even when he is at a disadvantage.

On the contrary, the more this happens, the more sarcastic she becomes.

"you say."

Hoshi looked up at Hoshi's face.

The warm water gave her skin a light pink hue, which, combined with her bright, golden eyes, made her look exceptionally lively.

"What are you planning to do by pinning me down here?"

"Bullying a disabled person?"

"Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"..."

Xing fell silent.

To be honest, it was just a conditioned reflex for her.

Being touched so roughly by Hoshino was really too much, so in a moment of impulse I pushed her into the bathtub.

The person is now under control.

and then?

She doesn't seem to have made up her mind.

Hoshino clearly saw through her predicament.

The smile on his face became even brighter.

"Oh my, you didn't expect that, did you?"

She deliberately spoke in an overly sweet tone.

"You've pinned me down here, and now I don't know what to do."

"What, you want to do something to me?"

"Come on, I won't resist."

As she spoke, she deliberately pulled her left hand back from the edge of the bathtub and softly rested it in the water.

He looked completely unguarded, even somewhat... proactive.

"you……"

Xing's lips twitched.

"Can't you be normal for once?"

"I'm perfectly normal."

Hoshi blinked innocently.

"Why should I resist when a pretty girl pins me down in the bathtub?"

"You made a profit, didn't you?"
