My love index is at its maximum.

Gan!

Why don't you play by the rules?

Moreover, these rich girls are incredibly rude. We were having a nice chat, and you just casually throw 100 billion at people. How can we continue talking after that?

Kikawa Yui braced herself on the floor, leaning her upper body towards him: "Don't you dare accept it?"

Her golden hair swayed, carrying the faint, fresh scent of Cologne perfume, reminiscent of a morning vineyard.

"Now that the promise has been fulfilled..."

Tazaki Tsukasa changed the subject: "After today, we'll call it even and go our separate ways."

"So you mean I can date anyone I want?" Qichuan Yui rested her chin on her hand, imagining a certain scene as she casually asked, "For example, appearing in front of you hand in hand with a male classmate?"

"It's best not to."

“I said…” Qichuan Wei took a deep breath and stroked the ends of her golden hair with her palm: “I’m going to take you back.”

“That’s impossible,” Tsukasa Tazaki shrugged slightly, shaking his neck uncomfortably. “I have a terrible headache right now and I’m not in the mood to talk to you.”

Kikawa gently wiped his lower lip with a towel and asked in a calm voice, "Are you bothered by too many women?"

"you do not say."

"hypocritical!"

Say what you want.

Tazaki Tsukasa lay on the floor with his hands behind his head: "Every day when I open my eyes, I'm troubled about how to explain myself and how to maintain a proper distance. Can you please stop making things difficult for me?"

"In the end," Yui Kichikawa nodded slightly, "you're just inherently greedy."

“It’s obvious,” Tsukasa Tazaki said, twisting his lips.

"Even me, you don't want anyone else to take away."

"It's really hard to accept that the cabbage I've raised for so many years has been taken over by another pig."

Qichuan Wei took off her shoes, parted her legs slightly, bent down and pressed her fragrant lips to his ear: "How about I do what your mother did, leave the family and elope with you?"

As the girl bent over, her chest, which was far larger than the average size of her peers, pressed against his shoulder beneath her plain white gauze dress.

Tazaki Tsukasa said irritably, "If you really do that, my aunt will skin me alive!"

"Hmm, maybe."

"So you'd better hurry up and find someone to marry into your family, and stop thinking about me."

"How about finding Murakami Mizusuke?"

Tsukasa Tazaki: "...Are you crazy?!"

“You simply can’t let go.” Qichuan Wei lay down on her side, resting her chin comfortably on his shoulder: “Just like your body, you say you’re annoyed, but your body won’t reject me.”

"What about your body?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked in return.

"I won't refuse." The blonde girl's face flushed slightly, and her toes in her white stockings involuntarily curled up.

Tsukasa Tazaki asked curiously, "Are you also planning to become my concubine?"

"impossible!"

"Haha~"

Tazaki Tsukasa gave a neurotic laugh, and the two of them looked up at the ceiling as the room fell silent.

Whether boy or girl, both remained in the same posture. They reduced their breathing, remained silent, relaxed their muscles, and sealed off all exits of consciousness as if sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Both exist in the same time and space.

Regardless of their respective intentions, they all move downstream at the same speed in the river of time.

"Knock knock~ Kiki, we're here."

The little cutie's voice rippled across the calm river. Tazaki Tsukasa stood up, glanced at Kikawa Yui, and seeing the stubborn light in her eyes, he walked over and opened the door with a headache.

A cat-eared maid stood outside the door.

Her long, black ponytail reached her waist and fell naturally down her back. She wore a black maid dress that barely covered her knees, her slender legs were encased in black stockings, and she wore a pair of round-toed black leather shoes.

It wears cat ears on its head and has a tail trailing behind it.

Upon seeing someone come out, she took a half-step back as if startled, revealing a weak, helpless, and aggrieved expression: "Meow~"

"Cute!" Tazaki Tsukasa exclaimed, turning his head to look at Kuriyama Sakura on the other side.

Well.

pity……

The minister was dressed in a proper maid outfit, a traditional black and white combination with a large skirt, covering her entire body completely.

Apart from a ribbon tied in a bow at the neckline, there were no other decorations.

"While she's not exactly sexy," Tsukasa Tazaki said, stroking his chin, in a commenting tone, "she has a rather elegant air about her, so she's passable."

Sakura Kuriyama was very sensitive to his gaze.

Almost the instant his gaze fell upon her, her fair skin flushed red. She held her skirt with one hand and pretended to fix her hair with the other to cover her face.

That embarrassed look is so cute!

"Kiki, let's get started!" Shiori Ninomiya said with a smile. "The school festival that I've been looking forward to for so long is in the second semester. Let's take this opportunity to rehearse the maid café project in advance!"

As soon as Kuriyama Sakura stepped through the door in her high heels, she turned around, looking slightly angry, and demanded, "What's she doing here?"

"You guys keep chatting, I'm going to take a stroll outside."

Without saying a word, Tsukasa Tazaki closed the door and walked towards Kana Shimamoto's room.

In situations like this, let the three of them finish arguing first, and then come back to take charge when they're tired of arguing.

The summer sky is clear and blue.

The wooden corridor was bathed in the afternoon sun, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of sunshine. A cool sea breeze blew, just enough to cool down a feverish head.

Tsukasa Tazaki leaned against a pillar, listening to the sound of cats sharpening their claws on the roof. The sound was somewhat ethereal, as if it came from across the Pacific Ocean through an underwater pipe.

If you run away this time, what will happen next time?

What changes will occur tomorrow?

Tsukasa Tazaki crossed his arms and slowly closed his eyes.

An ominous premonition grew clearer and clearer, spreading throughout my body along with the throbbing in my heart.

If possible, he wanted to go back to Tokyo now, before everything vanished, before everything was destroyed.

……

Kana Shimamoto unbuttoned her uniform, letting it slide naturally to the ground.

She took off her underwear and stockings and went into the private bathroom.

I took off the glasses I wear every day, rubbed my eyes, and stepped into the hot water falling from above.

So comfortable, so therapeutic, ahh!

A languid, alluring murmur escaped from her slightly parted lips.

Kana Shimamoto rinsed off the sweat from her body with hot water, from her hair to her toes. She even took the showerhead off to rinse her toes, only satisfied after confirming that everything was clean.

After rinsing herself with water, she playfully kicked the water off the floor. Feeling warm all over, she felt her tense mood ease a bit. So, while rinsing herself in the steamy bathroom, she happily hummed a song.

Fingertips touching burning skin

Gently peel away the healing scar.

Hmm... Is that really the case?

Kana Shimamoto sang two lines and then stopped, leaning close to the mirror to carefully examine her face.

Under the warm steam, my cheeks turned a little red, but upon closer inspection, I could see that my skin texture was indeed much smoother. After pressing on my face a few times, my cheeks bounced back more strongly than before.

With her hands supporting her on the sink and her eyes closed, Kana Shimamoto counted a few times in her mind, then opened her eyes and looked at her face again.

It seems... she really does look much younger.

She simply smoothed her hair in front of her forehead with her hands; her forehead was smooth and round, radiating an endearing luster.

Hmm, it really works!

So what should we do now?

After a long period of contemplation and inner struggle, Shimamoto Kana bit her lip as if to encourage herself, and nodded slightly a few times. The woman in the mirror also bit her lip and nodded slightly, her expression charming and alluring.

After gathering her thoughts, Kana Shimamoto changed into a simple set of loungewear and tied her long hair into a ponytail, letting it fall naturally down her back.

She walked out of the room and slowly walked up the corridor.

On the other side, the boy closed his eyes in deep thought, his slightly furrowed brows making him both handsome and endearing.

He must have been going through a lot of emotional turmoil lately...

With a touch of heartache, Shimamoto Kana walked back to her room and took out the props she had prepared beforehand.

First came the rabbit ears, then the collar around her neck, the decorations on her wrists, then the leather low-cut dress, black stockings and high heels. After putting them on one by one, she sent a message to Tsukasa Tazaki.

[Shimamoto: Everything is ready. Please check your bunny girl senpai, Tazaki-kun.]

Tazaki Tsukasa arrived at her door, pushed open the slightly ajar door, and went inside.

Walk a few steps further in, and you'll see Kana Shimamoto dressed as a bunny girl.

She wore a very low-cut leather top, white shirt cuffs emphasizing her bunny girl identity, a black bow choker around her neck, and of course, two long, fluffy pink ears on her head.

She wore 7-centimeter black high heels, and her long, slender legs were covered by sheer black stockings—her well-proportioned body was curvaceous, with her ample hips and beautiful legs outlined by the fabric, creating a very alluring silhouette.

Considering her usual intellectual elegance and composed and dignified demeanor when she wears a uniform, her sexy appearance at this moment is truly enticing.

Tazaki Tsukasa swallowed hard, quite consciously.

"Hey, Tazaki-kun."

Kana Shimamoto reached out her hand to him and said in a teasing tone with a strange sense of pleasure, "Let's kiss."

"Senior...you're joking, right?"
