My love index is at its maximum.

?

Can't you try on a belt yourself?

And why go into the fitting room just to try on a belt?

She definitely wants to test herself!

Before Tsukasa Tazaki could even offer a token refusal, Kana Shimamoto pulled him behind a clothing display case and quietly led him into the fitting room.

The interior was cramped, dimly lit, and had a very enchanting atmosphere.

I heard the sound of clothes rubbing against skin coming from the fitting room next door, and the stomping sound of shoes being kicked off.

After closing the door, Shimamoto Kana took off her mask, leaned against him, and skillfully wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering in his ear in a soft, sweet voice, "Your older sister is in the fitting room next door."

Music was playing in the store, but the sound of clothes rubbing together was unusually loud, and her increasingly heavy breathing was hard to ignore.

Is Hoshino Hanami living next door?

Tazaki Tsukasa imagined the scene of her taking off her clothes and trying on clothes, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Tasaki..." Shimamoto Kana's affectionate and charming voice pulled him back to reality.

What do you want to do?

He grabbed Mrs. Tazaki by the waist and pressed her against the partition.

The soft, slender waist, the warmth pressed against her chest, and the face with its classical, intellectual beauty—these sensations are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, stimulating emotions.

"Until my legs give way." Shimamoto Kana half-closed her eyes and offered her lips: "But she can't find out, okay? It's time to test your skills."

"You're making things difficult for me!"

Tazaki Tsukasa's alluring chin made her involuntarily bring her lips closer.

Their bodies pressed together, their faces drawing ever closer, until he could even see the fine downy hairs on her cheeks and smell her faint fragrance. His breath became incredibly hot.

Oh right, the adorable girl next door is probably only wearing a short skirt and a bra right now...

"How long will it take?" Shimamoto Kana murmured softly and seductively.

Under the dim yellow light, her delicate oval face lost its usual dignified elegance and became extremely alluring.

Be with Hoshino Hanami; they're the perfect match.

The proprietress is the most radiant.

But if Shimamoto Kana gets horny, then the other older sisters have nothing to do with it.

Tsukasa Tazaki wrapped his arms around her waist and sealed her lips with his. The fragrance was so sweet it was almost unbearable, as if all the sugar in the world had been poured into those two lips.

After an unknown amount of time, a slight sound of a door opening came from next door, and the two separated.

"How's the preparation for the school festival going?" Shimamoto Kana pressed her cheek against his chest, her watery eyes filled with weariness and satisfaction.

"The progress is good, no problem." Tazaki Tsukasa supported her body, feeling her body rise and fall slightly with her breath, her slender waist, and below that, her beautiful legs encased in tight jeans, shapely and long.

"Take this opportunity to gain some experience in managing large-scale events with Kikawa-kun," Shimamoto Kana said, brushing a few stray strands of hair behind her ear. "By the way, I heard from Chiba-kun that she wants you to join the student council?"

"Yes, but I have absolutely no idea why she would suddenly do this."

"You rejected me pretty quickly."

“Of course you should quickly reject boring things,” Tsukasa Tazaki said with a smile. “Keeping away from things before they get to you is a kind of wisdom in life.”

"Don't act like an adult at such a young age." Shimamoto Kana placed her hands on his shoulders, gazing tenderly and affectionately into his eyes and brows: "For Chiba, Kitagawa is one of her most cherished memories, and it's perfectly understandable that she wants to find a reliable person to take over her work before she leaves. Even if you're unwilling, please understand her thoughts."

"I understand." Tazaki Tsukasa nodded firmly a few times. "Is Kitagawa also important to you?"

“Of course.” Shimamoto Kana reached out and pinched his earlobe, a faint smile playing on her lips. “For the past five years, I’ve been keeping myself locked up inside, like living at the bottom of a deep well. School was the only place where I could feel happy, watching batches of students come in and batches leave. I followed in their footsteps and felt the path of my own life.”

At this point, she paused, stood on tiptoe, pressed her forehead against Tsukasa Tazaki's forehead, and closed her eyes as if quietly immersing herself in memories.

It was as if I saw myself in my teenage years, wearing a long blue dress with a long skirt, a dress I had worn somewhere a long time ago.

Opening her eyes again, Kana Shimamoto gazed at Tsukasa Tazaki, a gentle ripple shimmering in her bright eyes: "Later, I became deeply attracted to a boy at school, and fell madly in love with him. He loved me just as much, and we lived in a perfect circle, everything self-contained within that circle. Of course, it couldn't last forever; he would soon grow up, and times would change, but the earliest memories would remain forever at school, in that library."

"Mrs. Tazaki always speaks so sweetly." Tazaki Tsukasa pressed his cheek against hers, his face burning hot, as if he had a high fever.

"Memories can warm a person's entire being from the heart."

"Understood." Tsukasa Tazaki sniffed the perfume on her body. "It just so happens that Yui is also planning to join the student council, so let's make her the president. I guarantee she can handle it."

"Why do I always feel like you treat Kikawa-kun like a tool?" Shimamoto Kana glared at him, both amused and exasperated, and changed the subject, asking, "How are the ATF club activities going? Are you still just wasting your time doing nothing? Are you really going to disband it?"

"Uh……"

"No plans yet?"

"Actually, I haven't said that yet."

"Are you ignoring what I said?" Shimamoto Kana reached out, pretending to tap his forehead.

"I'll definitely say it next time!"

Tazaki Tsukasa leaned back to dodge, then peeked out the door to check the situation. Once he was sure no one was watching, he slipped away.

"I really can't do anything with you..." Shimamoto Kana smiled elegantly and calmly, picked up the amber yellow belt and tied it around her waist.

……

As soon as I slipped out of the clothing store, I spotted Hoshino Hanami sitting in the rest area waiting.

"What did you buy?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked as he came to her side.

Hoshino Hanami sniffed hard, then gently shook her head, her bangs swaying like ripples on a lake under the shop lights.

"...!"

Oh no, I forgot about the fatal evidence: the scent of perfume...

Tsukasa Tazaki awkwardly lifted his sleeve and sniffed the air; a scent unique to Kana Shimamoto filled his nostrils. He turned around with difficulty, and Mrs. Tazaki, who had just stepped out of the fitting room, was giving him a very cute and playful smile, with a hint of smug satisfaction.

In that instant, a woman's petty and narrow-mindedness in matters of love was on full display.

Alright, you Mrs. Tazaki!

I never imagined that you, who seem so gentle and considerate, would actually be such a treacherous woman behind the scenes!

This time, she lured herself into the changing room, definitely to get revenge on Hoshino Hanami's domineering behavior of always monopolizing her when she was in front of her!

'You won't let me and Tazaki be affectionate in front of you?'

'Hey, I'll do it anyway!'

This is what Tsukasa Tazaki gleaned from the smile on her lips.

Shimamoto Kana came to the two of them, and Asahi Hanami raised her chin and asked in a relaxed and cheerful manner, "Which way should we go next? Please lead the way for us, Hanami-neechan."

What does this look like?

Is this a provocation?

That's absolutely provocative!

Hoshino Hanami didn't answer, but instead glared at her boyfriend with murderous intent.

"..." Tazaki Tsukasa looked appreciatively at a Western fast food restaurant across from the shop. The old man was wearing ugly glasses. He used to think the old man was kind and gentle, but now the more he looked at him, the more ferocious he seemed.

No wonder you can't outsell fast food restaurants that start with the letter M.

Both are rubbish, though. After I graduate from university, I'm going to open my own chain of fast food restaurants, and its market value will surpass yours in no time. By the way, should I open a Chinese fast food restaurant or a Japanese one... Ouch, that hurts!!!

My calf was kicked.

[Regarding the daydreams that Tazaki-kun was having while caught in a chaotic situation], the conversation was abruptly interrupted. Tazaki Tsukasa turned around, looked at the furious Hoshino Hanami, and asked in a conciliatory tone, "Shall I carry you?"

“I wouldn’t dare trouble you, young master Tazaki,” Hoshino Hanami sneered.

Someone rode by on a small motorcycle, and JK Hanami's long, straight, black hair was blown up by the airflow. This person had completely fallen into a state of darkness.

Kana Shimamoto put her mask back on, crossed her arms, and stepped back two meters to avoid being affected by the fighting.

"You'll be in for it when we get home tonight..." Tsukasa Tazaki muttered, took a deep breath, and placed his trembling hands on Hanami Hoshino's shoulders, saying sincerely, "This Saturday, I'll go to Sakura's house to practice martial arts with you."

Hoshino Hanami's hair fell down as she looked up and glared at her boyfriend, as if to warn him.

"I won't go easy on you on Saturday."

"Yes." Tazaki Tsukasa nodded with tears in his eyes, like an adventurer about to sacrifice himself.

"If you dare do that again, I'll have to use a knife!"

"...Huh?" Tsukasa Tazaki subconsciously tightened his grip, but quickly realized what he was doing and his expression became very serious: "Onee-sama, I'll help you sharpen your knife."

"Good boy." Hoshino Hanami turned her head and said to Shimamoto Kana, "This brat of a boy often does wrong things. I have a bad temper, and I sometimes hit him too hard when I discipline him. Shimamoto-neechan, please don't feel sorry for him."

Fine.

They just finished provoking them, and now they're showing off.

"It's alright, it's good that you keep an eye on him for me. Besides..." Shimamoto Kana looked at Tazaki Tsukasa, her face displaying the gentlest and most charming smile, like an angel descending with holy light.

“Please call me Tazaki-neechan,” she emphasized, “Hanami-neechan!”

Ok……

It should be a devil radiating holy light.

“No problem.” Hoshino Hanami returned the smile with a gentle smile, and looked at Tazaki Tsukasa as well: “Hoshino Tsukasa, do you know what you should be doing right now?”

"……what?"

Tazaki Tsukasa knows nothing.

Are you suggesting I dig a hole in the road and bury myself?

Hoshino Hanami stepped on his shoe, her tone icy: "Dig a hole and bury yourself, hurry up!"

Well.

Tazaki Tsukasa twisted his face, trying to find a bittersweet humor in his thoughts. Judging from what Da Ke'ai said, he and she were quite in sync, their understanding no less than that with the club president.

"Hoshino Tsukasa?" Shimamoto Kana, seemingly enjoying the drama, added fuel to the fire, "If Tazaki is willing, I can change my surname to Hoshino without hesitation. Hoshino Kana, that's quite nice."

No, this name is not good.

Tazaki Kana, Taki Kana, that's good.
