I, the mastermind behind the scenes at Soubu High, refuse to be caught in a bloodbath.

Chapter 144 After Bathing, [Kasumigaoka Utaha] Good Job

Quickly take out your phone and go to Kasumigaoka to make a call.

When the call connected, all I heard was the sound of rushing water, giving me the feeling that the rainy night from that day had come full circle.

"I forgot to ask earlier, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"Isn't Inspiration going to ask me what I'm doing?"

"...Is there even a need to ask? Such a loud sound of water means she's taking a shower."

"Heh—that's true. I'm not a picky eater. Just let Inspiration do what it wants. I eat everything."

"Okay... By the way, Shiyu, from now on you can just call me Haruto, don't call me Inspiration-kun anymore, since you don't rely on me anymore."

"If that's the case, then... Alright! If you insist, Haruto-kun."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll hang up now."

Ji Xiaolu hung up the phone and went inside to buy things. Of course, saying she was buying groceries meant she couldn't just buy fish, meat, and vegetables. If she were alone at home, that would be fine, but since there was a girl at home, she had to buy other things like snacks and drinks. There were actually quite a lot of things to buy.

Otherwise, there would be no need to ride this women's bicycle; you could just ride a mountain bike.

While picking out snacks for Kasumigaoka, Himekoji's phone suddenly vibrated with an email. He took out his phone and his heart skipped a beat, then suddenly raced again, accompanied by a headache.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a very seductive bath photo of him. She was taking the selfie with her hands raised high, and her entire body was on full display. However, she mischievously covered her chest and thighs with cartoon stickers, leaving some gaps between the stickers to make it look alluring. Combined with her playful smile as she pointed her index finger at her dimples, the whole photo was full of youthful rosy (harmonious) vibes.

Himeko suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Bringing Kasumigaoka here to be alone with her for seven days was terrifying! She needed to call her parents quickly and have her packed up and sent back home!

I wonder what Yoko-nee would think if she found out about this? Well, she'd probably give herself a thumbs up and say, "Go for it, kid!" Because Yoko-nee's private life is incredibly chaotic... Doesn't she have any sense of shame?! Did Kasumigaoka Utaha learn shamelessness from you?!

However, based on Himekoji's experience, even if a woman you've had a relationship with doesn't care that you've had relationships with other women, you shouldn't bring it up in front of her... Shouldn't that be common sense?

After buying snacks and ingredients, Himekoji's bicycle was not only full of things in the basket, but also had some hanging on the handlebars. He rode home quickly like this, but Himekoji would never admit that he was trying to hurry up and catch up with Kasumigaoka Bathing.

After parking the car and carrying three plastic bags in her hands, Himekoji opened the door. The sound of water in the bathroom had not yet stopped, so it seemed that Kasumigaoka was still taking a shower.

By the way, it seems like the bathroom in this house doesn't have a lock... it's just a simple sliding folding door.

"Haruto-kun?"

Perhaps it was because he heard the door open at the entrance that Kasumigaoka, who was bathing alone, became alert.

"Yes, it's me. Take your time washing, don't rush."

"Oh, right, Haruto-kun."

"ha--?"

Want to come along?

"...I'm not at the age where I can just shower with girls anymore. You shower by yourself, and I'll go after you're done."

Of course, taking a bath with Yoko-nee doesn't count!

I tidied up, putting things in the refrigerator and placing them on the table. Just as I was about to take the ingredients to the kitchen to chop vegetables, the bathroom door opened.

Kasumigaoka walked out calmly, wearing only a large white bath towel, her hair still dripping wet. She saw Himekoji standing not far from her with a plastic bag in his hand, but she was not shy at all. Instead, she confidently glanced at him seductively, as if hinting at something. Then she stretched her body and yawned, her curvaceous figure even more prominent under the bath towel.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Himekoji nodded appreciatively. Just then, Kasumigaoka's bath towel suddenly slipped off, revealing her flawless body to Himekoji. Even he was a little embarrassed and stunned. Kasumigaoka herself blushed instantly. She let out a soft cry of surprise and quickly grabbed the bath towel that hadn't completely fallen to the ground. She squatted down, clutching the towel tightly to cover her private parts, trembling slightly.

"Um... I'm going to cook now. By the way," Himekoji said, trying to look away from her, as she walked past her, turned her back, and gave a thumbs-up, "That guy just now, good job!"

"Haruto-kun, H."

She complained shyly in a very soft voice.

"Hey, who was it that insisted on stretching in front of me wrapped in a bath towel? Fine, I'll go cook."

Calming her wildly beating heart, Himekoji let her legs carry her to the kitchen, while Kasumigaoka slowly got up and quickly ran to the bedroom she had chosen earlier to change her clothes.

After the washing machine finished washing the clothes and put them in the dryer to dry, Kasumigaoka finally changed into an outfit she could easily pull off: a short dress and black stockings. Himekoji's meal was almost ready, so she went to the living room and lay on her side on a purple cushion, flipping through a paperback copy of "Don Quixote." Her freshly dried hair flowed loosely across the tatami mat, and her intertwined legs rubbed lazily against each other. The delicate stockings reflected an alluring light under the living room lamp.

"Shiyu, dinner's ready." Ji Xiaolu brought the dishes out of the kitchen one by one, then glanced at her in that position and said, "And, um... it looks like your panties are about to show."

"Huh? Panties? What are you talking about? I was definitely not wearing any just now."

"Hey! This is even worse, okay? Stop lying there and sit up right now. These days, what kind of high school girl would lie down so casually in front of a guy without any defenses?"

"Pfft, just kidding. You still have to wear your panties, no matter what." Kasumigaoka closed her book, stretched on the tatami mat, and then slowly straightened up. She used her slender fingers to tidy her slightly disheveled hair, closed her eyes, and murmured as she sniffed, "It tastes really good... I can hardly ever get stir-fried dishes at home."

"That's because Japanese cooking methods rarely involve stir-frying."

For someone used to stir-fries, eating Japanese and Italian food every day would be agonizing.

Chapter 145 Terrifying! [Kasumigaoka Utaha]'s latest novel is terrifying!

After dinner, Kasumigaoka offered to wash and tidy up, while Himekoji turned on the TV. Like a corporate slave returning home from get off work, she comfortably took a can of chilled beer, opened it, leaned back on the cushion, crossed her legs, hummed a little tune, and watched TV.

Does life have to be peaceful...? Listening to the sounds of washing clothes coming from the kitchen, Himekoji looked up at the ceiling and muttered to herself, "It seems that Grandpa and Grandma really understand this principle, which is why they live in a place like this."

Just as she was leisurely thinking about her future life, Kasumigaoka's voice suddenly came from the kitchen: "By the way, when Haruto-kun saw my naked body just now, did he get an erection?"

"No way!!! How can you so casually mention that I saw you naked?!"

Himekoji awkwardly complained loudly.

Just now, I did... well... have a bit of a reaction. After all, I'm a perfectly healthy male high school student, and the two of us were so close that I could see the water droplets still clinging to her nipples, which hadn't been dried by the large bath towel. Cough cough cough.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Himekoji went to report to the main family, but Kasumigaoka did not go with him. When Himekoji returned that evening, he found that he could not find Kasumigaoka no matter how hard he looked, and his phone was not being answered.

But her luggage was still safely in the house, and the pantyhose she had washed yesterday was still rolled up in the drawer, so it was impossible that she had gone straight back. Just as Himekoji was about to mobilize his family to look for her in the town, he vaguely heard Kasumigaoka calling his name.

Moreover, the sound seemed to be coming from above.

But this building only has two floors, and Ji Xiaolu is currently on the second floor. Where else could she run to?

Never mind, let's go out and take a look.

Himekoji ran out of the house and circled around it. He found a ladder in the backyard, leaning against the wall of the house. He didn't know where she found the ladder, but it went all the way up to the roof. As Himekoji discovered the ladder, he also noticed that Kasumigaoka was waving at him from the roof.

"How did you end up in a place like that?"

"Haruto-kun, where did your romantic cells go? Did they all go out along with your proteins and DNA when you were generating electricity? There's nothing more comfortable than drinking a cold drink on a summer night, looking at the stars on the roof, and writing."

"So you're writing a novel... Well, I guess I shouldn't bother you then?"

"I have something I want to show you."

"Huh, what is it?"

"I just finished writing a love-love erotic novel about Kasumi Shiko and Himekoji Haruto, and by the way, I also have my panties that are now completely soaked because I've been writing this."

"...Goodbye, I'm going back to sleep now, goodnight!"

The more Ji Xiaolu listened, the worse it seemed. Several long black lines appeared on the back of Ji Xiaolu's head. What's worse, you don't even know if she's joking or not. You can't read any joking meaning from her serious expression. Ji Xiaolu has been tricked by her several times already, and she's absolutely miserable.

"Ahem—even I wouldn't write those things at a time like this. Come on up, I really have something to show you."

She closed her eyes and coughed lightly.

Himekoji then agreed and climbed up the ladder.

Because she had never been to the roof before, she had no idea what was on it. After coming up, Ji Xiaolu realized that her grandparents had really made good arrangements. In the middle of the roof, there was a sunshade and rain shelter with a curtain that could be pulled back. Inside, there were several reclining chairs and a small round table, and even a few power strips lying around. One of the power strips was plugged into a Kasumigaoka computer socket. After she broke her computer last time, she bought a new one, which was now a bright red ultra-thin office laptop.

After she led Himeko over, she moved the laptop closer to him, turning the screen towards him, and said, "Haruto-kun, do you want to see it yourself or do I have to explain it to you?"

"It's rare that I don't have to stare at the computer screen. Shiyu, why don't you tell me about it? I'm going to lie down for a bit. Today has really exhausted me."

Ji Xiaolu groaned as he lay down on the recliner, which creaked. It was a newly installed chair, and sometimes he thought that his grandparents might be overly thoughtful in some matters.

"Um...actually, I've been writing a youth romance story recently."

"Isn't this the kind of subject matter that Shiyu is best at?"

"Not really. The stories I wrote before were mostly standard sweet stories with one man and one woman, but this time I'm going to create a real love triangle."

"Oh? What's the story like? Tell me a little about it."

"First of all, the protagonist is male, and he is set as a handsome young man who is rich, capable and talented. He is currently the student council president of a certain high school, and his name is Himekoji Akito."

"...Then?"

"He has a cold and meddlesome childhood sweetheart who is good at playing the piano."

"...Then?"

"He also had many rumors and scandals with girls, and the leading lady who was always infatuated with him refused to believe these things."

"Well, what about the development, the climax, and the outcome?"

"The relationship between the group of girls deepens as they become more involved with the male protagonist. Although the female lead usually appears well-behaved and adorable, she is increasingly struggling and becoming dark inside, turning into a villain. However, she keeps these thoughts buried deep in her heart, verbally blessing the male protagonist's harem life with the other girls, but secretly she is doing something."

Himeko noticed that Kasumigaoka was trembling with excitement as she spoke. Her lips were upturned, her expression ferocious and somewhat frightening. Her sharp gaze was like that of a predator eyeing its prey.

"Then, the climax..."

Himekoji was about to slip away. The more he listened, the more uneasy he felt, and Kasumigaoka's condition was getting worse. If this continued, something very dangerous might happen!

"The climax is... Waaaaaah hahahahaha... Hehehe—, I'll kill you all, kill you all, kill every single one of you bastards and scumbags! I absolutely refuse to acknowledge your status, and I'm not going to share Akihito with you..."

She moved her fingers wildly, licking her lips, her shoulders shaking incessantly, and her legs rubbing together, giving the impression of an old witch performing sorcery.

"...What's the ending?"

"The female lead, who killed all the other bitches, ran away with the male lead because he only had her left and could only love her. From then on, they lived a shameless life in a small village in Italy, having sex two or three times a day."

Chapter 146 Unfortunately, [Himekoji Haruto] couldn't choose a good date location.

"Hey, where's the promised battleground? This is clearly the evolution of a yandere and a bloody massacre, okay? It's definitely going to be rejected. This kind of manuscript can't be approved!"

Ji Xiaolu became more vigilant, forcibly avoiding thinking about her own life and focusing her attention on the discussion draft.

"It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter if the title and content are completely unrelated. As long as the illustrations are beautiful, a lot of people will rush to buy them!"

"The industry is doomed!!!"

Ji Xiaolu sighed deeply, looking up at the sky.

In any case, Kasumigaoka has stopped turning evil. Himekoji was lying leisurely on the recliner, while Kasumigaoka lay beside him typing away. Only when her inspiration was almost gone did the two of them prepare to get off the ladder.
