The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

Kirihara Akira is experiencing her first and last high school summer vacation in the world.

There are three days left until the birthdays of the two daughters of the Mori family.

Kirihara Akira and she had been to quite a few places these past few days. Calling it a date wouldn't be quite right, but calling it a trip between friends wouldn't quite fit either.

In short, the two maintained a strange relationship and explored the entire area around the school.

Despite saying she's tried everything, there aren't many activities she can actually do yet, and the places she can go are limited to a few: arcades, internet cafes, and karaoke bars.

Unlike the last get-together, this time there were only two people in the huge karaoke room.

Kiyoha Mori has a cool, clear voice, likes listening to pop songs, and surprisingly also likes city pop.

Even without much singing skill, she can still sing quite well thanks to her naturally gifted voice.

Needless to say, Kirihara Akira's skill level is considered mid-range among professional singers, and he wouldn't be intimidated anywhere.

After singing for a while, perhaps due to the competitive spirit, Mori Kiyoha's singing started to become a bit distorted. She tried to hit the high notes, and then her voice cracked.

Mori Kiyoha put the microphone on the table and said, "It's not fun."

After spending several days together, Kirihara Akira figured out Mori Kiyoha's temperament and grinned, saying, "Why don't you believe in fate? You insist on competing with me."

"I'm not comparing myself to you," Mori Kiyoha said.

"Oh, really?" Kirihara Akira said with a grin.

Mori Kiyoha said defiantly, "I can't even compare to that woman."

Kirihara Akira knew that the woman she was referring to was Kisaragi Shiori, and he said, "Don't be silly. Although Kisaragi-sensei's profession is not singing, she has received proper systematic training."

"Who's making a scene?" Mori Kiyoha glared at him.

Kirihara Akira smiled and said, "How about I teach you to sing too?"

Mori Kiyoha initially wanted to say yes, but she felt uneasy. After thinking for a moment, she wondered how she could play with what that woman had already finished. Instead, she said, "No, I want to play with something else."

Kirihara Akatsuki said helplessly, "You were the one who said you wanted to come and sing..."

Mori Kiyoha lowered her head and said, "Come with me."

Kirihara Akira shivered, a feeling that was both awkward and tingly making him almost lose control. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, as long as you don't talk to me like that again."

Mori Kiyoha laughed smugly.

"What do you want to play next? Tell me," Kirihara Akira said.

"Let's go to the entertainment center," Mori Kiyoha said.

"Alright, alright." Kirihara Akira reluctantly stood up.

......

......

Mori Kiyoha was a delinquent for a while... calling her a delinquent might not be entirely accurate, but in the end, she learned about many places to have fun while building a network of relationships with shady characters in order to gather information.

Of course, these are all well-maintained venues.

Even the most delinquent students wouldn't dare touch illegal things. Touching illegal things isn't called being delinquent; it's called being a criminal.

These places include entertainment centers.

Alternatively, it could be called a sports stadium.

The sports center is multi-functional, offering bowling, billiards, archery, street dance, and darts—it has everything.

Mori Kiyoha pulled Kirihara Akira along and they went to play darts first.

Mori Kiyoha is a player who's bad at the game but addicted to it. What are the rules? I don't know. I just stick things on the target and don't care how many points I get or whether I exceed the limit.

Before long, she got bored again. The fickle second young lady wanted to go street dance, which she was actually quite good at.

However, when the two arrived at the venue and saw that there were quite a few people, Mori Kiyoha regretted it again.

Kirihara Akira pouted and said, "You're not kidding me, are you? You really know street dance?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Mori Kiyoha said, "At worst, I'll dance for you alone sometime."

"Where did you learn it?"

"Isn't it okay to be self-taught?"

"Okay, okay, so what would you like to play next?"

"I want to play pool," Mori Kiyoha said.

"...Do you know how to play table tennis?" Kirihara Akira asked cautiously.

"No way," Mori Kiyoha said confidently, hands on her hips. "You teach me."

Kirihara Akira was furious: "You bastard, are you treating me like a beast of burden?!"

Sen Qingye realized she had gone a bit too far, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Then what should we do? How about I treat you to dinner?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Kirihara Akatsuki was even angrier and said, "You didn't bring any money with you at all. You've been spending my allowance these past few days."

Mori Kiyoha said, "Oh, so what are you going to do?"

Kirihara Akatsuki thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll punish you by making you prepare a gift for me next year on my birthday."

Sen Qingye gave him a puzzled look and said, "You think I won't see you off if you don't tell me? Are you stupid?"

The two strolled to the billiards area, where Mori Kiyoha pretended to rent a pair of gloves. After putting them on, she looked quite smug holding the billiard cue.

As soon as he started working, Mori Kiyoha looked at Kirihara Akira.

Kirihara Akira sighed and went up to begin teaching.

"Place your thumb here, and hold it with your other four fingers."

"Grip the club lightly with your arm, don't use too much force."

"...place your other hand like this."

"Put your weight on your right leg."

......

It must be said that Mori Kiyoha's talent for learning sports is top-notch.

Unfortunately, this guy seems to be deliberately going against the grain, always putting his legs up in random positions. It's not that he can't play ball like that, but it just annoys Kirihara Akira.

He glared at him and said, "Are you an idiot? Can't you watch your back? You're hunching over like that."

Mori Kiyoha rolled her eyes and said, "If you're so smart, then you should demonstrate it more clearly."

Kirihara Akira couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed Mori Kiyoha's wrist with one hand and supported her waist with the other, saying, "Hands on the table, legs like this, waist bent down, like this, you should be able to understand now, right?"

Mori Kiyoha didn't speak, and for some reason fell silent.

"Feed? Are you there? Have you learned it yet?" Kirihara Akira asked sarcastically, oblivious to anything amiss.

Mori Kiyoha remained silent, and it was only then that Kirihara Akira belatedly realized what was happening.

From an outsider's perspective, the two looked like Jack and Rose standing at the bow of a ship, almost embracing each other. Kirihara Akira wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and his hands could even feel her soft, boneless body and smell the unique fragrance of the girl's light sweat and body odor.

He lowered his head, and could still see from his side and rear.

Kirihara Akira fell silent, then immediately turned and left, utterly embarrassed.

Since the handshake incident, Kirihara Akatsuki has noticed that the girl has gradually lowered her guard and gotten much closer to him. However, no matter how close they get, they are still just friends. Such behavior is still too offensive and too frivolous.

After a moment of silence, Kirihara Akatsuki asked, "Have you learned it?"

Mori Kiyoha ignored his comment and instead cursed without turning her head: "You scoundrel."

Kirihara Akatsuki was speechless; it seemed he really had no room to retort.
