Yamada Elf's exercise was even more intense than his, so she inevitably got thirsty too.

However, remembering what she had just said, Yamada Elf went to the refrigerator to take out a new bottle of barley tea.

Seeing how happy Ma Xiandong was drinking, she also wanted to have some barley tea.

After opening the refrigerator, Yamada Elf stared in disbelief. "Why isn't there any barley tea?!"

Then, she looked at the barley tea in front of Arima Kento with a pitiful expression, as if to say, 'I really want to drink it!'

"Never mind, come and have a drink! It's on me."

"I can't help but sigh," Arima Kento said helplessly. "However, sometimes I do find being a tsundere quite amusing."

Just like what Yamada Elf did just now.

"Hmph, this was mine to begin with!"

Despite saying that, Yamada Elf sat down opposite Arima Kento, picked up her barley tea, and took a big, satisfying sip.

Wow, this tastes delicious!

Upon seeing Yamada Elf like this, Arima Kento realized that the girl in front of him was only fourteen years old.

Forget it, I won't provoke her anymore.

"Mr. Yamada, I came here today to learn your writing techniques, which is something you promised to do yesterday."

"Yes, I won't forget what I promised. Well then, let's go!" Yamada Elf nodded her little head and replied.

Then, the two began a question-and-answer session. Normally, it was Yuma Hito who explained things to others, but now it was Yamada Elf explaining things to him.

Even if he doesn't understand, Ma Xiandong won't hold back his status; he'll humbly ask questions.

After some instruction, Yamada Elf's opinion of Arima Kento improved more and more.

"You're actually quite serious about this! It seems like it won't be long before you're able to write something decent!"

"Just passable?"

"Then what else do you want! Study hard!"

Afterwards, Yamada Elf also made revisions to the manuscript that Arima Kento had previously sent, and pointed out Arima Kento's shortcomings in the margin.

It must be said that once Yamada Elf sets her mind on something, she will do it with great care.

Even though she disliked Arima Kento before, she will now teach him seriously.

This is something that Arima Kento greatly admires about her.

After a long lecture, more than an hour had passed, and it was almost six o'clock.

"Oh dear, so fast! It's almost lunchtime!"

Yamada Fairy stretched, revealing her beautiful curves.

Suddenly, she realized that Ma Xiandong was still beside her, and she quickly shrank back warily.

"Yes, thank you for today, Professor Yamada! If I have any questions, I will ask you via email. I hope you won't pretend you didn't see it!"

"I would never do that!"

Then, Yamada Elf looked at Arima Kento somewhat guiltily and said, "Aren't you leaving yet? Are you just going to stay here and freeload?"

Arima Kento shook his head and said, "No, I'm leaving right away. But I just remembered there's something I haven't finished!"

Here it comes! Yamada Yoji's heart tightened.

Why did I even suggest a bet where this guy had to name a condition?

I've brought this on myself!

But back then, who knew this guy would have such a brilliant idea!

And even if I lose.

Why is this guy trying to pinch my ear?!

Chapter 184 Fulfilling the Agreement (Bonus Chapter for 2000+ Favorites)

Yamada Elf blushed, clutching the hem of her skirt with both hands, her head slightly lowered, as if awaiting judgment.

He sat on the sofa looking somewhat uneasy.

Even though this is her own home, she had made an agreement with the other party, and breaking the agreement is not her style.

For some reason, Yamada Elf suddenly remembered her phone call with Arima Kento the night before.

That rascal was clearly joking when he said, "So, next time we meet, can I pinch your ear?"

I must have been out of my mind to agree to that request.

But seriously, do my ears really look like an elf's? And what kind of image do I have in this wicked guy's mind?

Oh dear! What's the use of thinking about this at a time like this!

Seeing Yamada Elf's reaction, Arima Kento couldn't help but find it amusing. He had only said it as a joke yesterday, and Yamada Elf's agreement was what surprised him so much.

His words just now weren't an implication that Yamada Elf should fulfill the promise they made earlier. Rather, he genuinely thought of something that hadn't been completed.

That was a gift for visiting Yamada Fairy, cookies made by Kanno Megumi.

While listening to Yamada Elf's piano performance at the door, Arima Kento casually put the cookies and their bag into his pocket.

Otherwise, with such vigorous movements later on, the cookies might easily scatter all over the floor.

After all, this was made with care by Megumi Kanno, and it tasted quite good. Arima Kento already considered Yamada Elf a friend, so he wanted her to try it too.

After entering the house and sitting on the sofa, Yamada Elf immediately began to teach Arima Hitoshi, which caused Arima Hitoshi to forget the cookies in his pocket.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Arima Kento inadvertently touched his bulging pocket and realized that he hadn't given the cookies to Yamada Elf yet.

"Hey...you're overthinking it, Yamada-sensei! I'm curious about your ears, but it's not gentlemanly to touch a pretty girl's ears without permission."

As Arima Kento watched the girl raise her head, he said, "Even if I'm not a true gentleman, I'm still a person of principle. Don't worry! I was just joking yesterday, don't take that so-called condition to heart."

"The unfinished business I was about to mention is this..."

As he spoke, Arima Kento took out the bag of still-warm cookies from his pocket and handed it to Yamada Elf, who looked puzzled.

"These are cookies made by my younger sister, Megumi Kanno. Consider them a gift for visiting friends! I just gave some to Izumi-sensei at his house, and now my sister asked me to bring some to you."

"Because of what happened just now, I completely forgot about this. I only remembered it now that I'm leaving. Don't mind!"

Yamada Elf's eyes were a little strange, and her tone was also a little odd, "I'm teaching you because I have to keep my promise, you don't need to bring me this."

However, Arima Kento shook his head and said, "This is a gift exchanged between friends, as I just mentioned. After all, we are friends!"

"Friends?" Yamada Elf murmured to herself.

She didn't know when it started, but the word "friend" had become very distant to her. Perhaps it was because she dropped out of school, or perhaps it was because of her exceptional talent for writing.

Fewer and fewer friends are willing to walk alongside me, and there's no one I can easily confide in anymore.

Of course, this was also because she had a falling out with her family.

Otherwise, her mother or brother could listen to her feelings.

“That’s right, we’re friends.” Arima Kento stood up, walked closer to Yamada Elf, took her hand, and placed a cookie in her palm.

"Even though we've only known each other for two days, I know you're a good teacher who's a little proud, and I'd like to become your friend."

"So, just accept the gift from your friend!" Arima Kento said. "At worst, you can just give me a gift next time we meet, right?"

Yamada Elf was feeling a slight blush in her heart, and it wasn't just blushing, but also a deep sense of emotion.

She finally has friends!

Yes, if we don't count Izumi Masamune, that's true.

Feeling the warmth of her hand being held, Yamada Elf blushed, gripped the bag of cookies tightly, and her eyes reddened as if tears were welling up in them.

"Wanting to be my friend? That's not enough!"

Arima Kento felt a slight pang of regret as he watched Yamada Elf pull her hand away from his.

The girl's behavior was just a display of pride; she had already accepted him as a friend.

"Alright, alright, Miss Yamada, how can I become your friend? I will do whatever you say and try my best to become your friend."

"My surname isn't Yamada!" Yamada Fairy said. "It's just a pen name. I'll tell you my real name when I'm ready."

"If you want to be my friend, the first thing is to keep your promises. I don't like any breaking of promises, so... so come and touch my ear!"

Yamada Elf stood up, tucked her hair behind her ears, lowered her head, her face flushed, and revealed her two white, pointed ears to Arima Kento.

Arima Kento couldn't help but swallow hard. He wasn't sexually attracted to girls, but seeing the girl's ears, which resembled those of an elf but were also somewhat different, made his heart pound.

The top of the ears is pointed, but they look very soft and there is no trace of any embellishment.

Just as Yamada Elf said, it's simply a genetic trait of their family.

Hmm, it feels soft to the touch, very smooth and delicate.

However, it seemed that its owner was in a very excited mood, as a thin blush spread across its pointed ears, and it was trembling slightly.

Indeed, after Yamada Elf made such an obvious invitation, Arima Kento's hand was already out of his control.

He placed his sinful hand on Yamada Elf's ear.

First, one hand touched the other ear, and then the other hand involuntarily touched the other ear as well.

Yamada Elf's face remained flushed, but she made no move to resist, remaining completely compliant.

A few minutes later, Arima Kento looked at Yamada Elf, who was already somewhat limp and was supporting herself on her chest to maintain her balance, and then realized what he had done.

He quickly released Yamada Elf's ears, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Eek~~" Yamada Elf let out a soft cry, and then she uncontrollably fell onto Arima Kento.

Upon seeing this, Arima Kento quickly reached out and hugged Yamada Elf to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Arima Kento was dumbfounded.
