I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Chapter 82 In ancient times, one leaf could foretell autumn; today, one hand can tell a sister's fate.

He stole a girl's first kiss, yet he has to hide the fact that it wasn't his first kiss. For Yuu Tenkuji...

It's not difficult at all.

Since we'll forget it eventually anyway, we might as well give Asuna a flawless and beautiful memory, and avoid having to answer the troublesome question of "who was your first kiss with?"

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Yuu Tenkuji thought to herself, "I'll probably become more and more skilled, right?"

It's not about kissing skills, but about mindset—gradually becoming like those seasoned lovers who, when it's time to kiss, will never hesitate.

However, recalling the way Asuna seemed to be probing something in her eyes after the explanation, Yuu Tenkuji silently made his decision.

—If the third mission includes a "kissing segment," he might as well pretend to be a kissing novice, an innocent little boy.

Even if you tell a lie with sincerity, the truth will eventually come out. Not to mention the kind of lie that was full of flaws, telling it will only bring trouble upon yourself.

After all, who would train their tongue with artificial respiration?

……

When Yuu Tenkuji returned home, the girlish fragrance on her body had been completely replaced, and she walked into the house clean and fresh.

The System Brand Odor Remover – You Deserve It!

The timing was perfect; it happened just as my younger sister came downstairs, tired of potato chips, and was heading to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Qiong, have you eaten the dinner that was in the fridge?"

Knowing she would be back late, Yuu Tenkuji packed a lot of food into the refrigerator in the morning so that Kasugano Sora could heat it up and eat if she got hungry.

Slowly descending the stairs, the silver-haired girl, clutching a dolphin doll, placed her delicate, fair feet on the wooden floor and glanced at him indifferently.

"We've already finished eating. Next time, please add more portions; it's simply not enough."

"Your appetite has increased?" Yuu Tenkuji blinked in surprise, took off his shoes, and walked to her side.

"Don't move, let me see... Hmm, not bad, it does have some meat on it."

"..."

Kasugano Sora was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red and she forcefully slapped away the hand that was pinching her fair skin.

"What are you doing! You pervert!"

She took a step back, hugged the doll tightly, and glared at him with a mixture of shame and anger.

Why such a big reaction?

The fingers, still feeling the delicate touch, hovered in mid-air. Tenkuji Yu frowned slightly, puzzled by her resistant behavior.

"Don't worry, there's not much meat on you. I just wanted to check on your development... I'd be happier if you were a little chubby."

"Idiot, you idiot, I'm not fat! And that's not the problem at all!!"

"Then where else would you be?"

“That goes without saying…” Kasugano Sora gritted her teeth, staring at him like an angry kitten with its fur standing on end, her eyes colder than the September breeze.

"You're pinching in the completely wrong spot; you can't tell how the arm is developing at all!"

"No, it is possible."

A large hand landed decisively, allowing no room for argument. Tenkuji Yu patted her head and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"You're my sister, don't I know what your figure is like? In ancient times, one leaf could tell the coming of autumn, and now one hand can tell the secret of one's sister, so why make such a fuss?"

That tone, inexplicably confident and arrogant.

"..."

Kasugano Sora stood there blankly, looking like she didn't know how to reply, and could only watch his back disappear behind the door with complicated eyes.

"Although I don't quite understand what he's saying... but Yu, is the pressure of studying too much damaging your brain?"

……

After preparing a simple yet nutritious salad for Sora to fill her stomach, and playing with the gray-haired kitten Yukino, which hadn't appeared in a long time, Yuuka Tenkuji prepared to go upstairs to her room.

However, before he left, he was suddenly stopped by Qiong with a blank expression. She gave him a hug as punishment for coming back too late today, allowing him to enjoy a rare moment of warmth between the siblings.

"Is this how girls recharge...? They even like physical contact more than boys."

Leaning against the living room wall, recalling the scene in the classroom where Asuna held her hand and said "Charging~", Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but sigh.

She pressed most of her body against him without any defenses, Kasugano Sora lifted her head from his chest, and said lazily in a soft voice, "You idiot, Yu, I just saw this on the internet, don't get me wrong... Other girls hate doing this except for me."

"You're lying so obviously, you idiot Sora." Tenkuji Yu chuckled and poked her forehead.

Seemingly enjoying this intimate gesture, Kasugano Sora comfortably squinted her eyes, nuzzling his clothes with her nose, looking more like a well-behaved and adorable little animal than the gray-spotted kitten that was jumping around on the sofa.

However, Yuu Tenkuji knew in her heart that she was taking the opportunity to check if there was anyone else's scent on her—even if she didn't say it, Sora would still care about why he came home later than usual today.

Yuu Tenkuji couldn't understand the growing unease that came with each passing minute, but he had seen his younger sister stubbornly clinging to his schoolbag, unwilling to let him go.

—So, when should I tell Qiong that I have a 'girlfriend'?

Soon, Yuu Tenkuji made a decision.

"Let it go this time. As long as she doesn't find out, it's okay if she doesn't say anything."

If he hadn't gotten too deeply involved back then, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to reveal his relationship with a wealthy female boss.

And as it turns out—though no one remembers this fact anymore—doing so only caused Qiong unnecessary unease and a strange sense of competition.

Having already experienced a heavy conversation, Yuu Tenkuji didn't want to go through it again, nor would it bring him any benefit.

"Yu, judging from your tone just now... have you ever been 'charged' by other girls?"

He was still pondering whether to speak or not when Kasugano Sora casually asked him this question, her tone so calm that it made him feel no sense of crisis whatsoever.

Therefore, Yuuki Tenkuji instinctively answered in this way:

"Have……"

"Yes?" Qiong took a slow breath.

“…Someone tried to do that, but I refused.” There was almost no pause before Tenkuji Yu said seriously, “After all, I’m usually busy with my studies and taking care of you at home. Where would I find the time to flirt with other women?”

"They want me to 'recharge' them, but who can 'recharge' me? There's no such thing in Tokyo, and certainly not in Chiba!"

This is probably the moment in his life when he speaks with the most resolute tone.

"I see..."

Her silver hair fell loosely over him. Kasugano Sora stood on tiptoe, almost touching him, and stared blankly into his eyes.

Their breaths seemed to merge, their overlapping warmth dispelling the chill of the night, and the air was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, she raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck, blowing her warm and sweet breath onto his face.

Her light-colored eyes held a gentle expression, but her clear, delicate voice carried a hint of pleading.

"If you have any questions, tell me. Don't leave me at home without knowing anything."

Yuu Tenkuji: "..."

If it's someone important enough, even a simple word can strike a chord deep within your heart.

In that instant, Tenkuji Yu thought of many things, but couldn't utter a single word.

Chapter 83 The Date (Part 1)

September 14th, Sunday morning.

The sky was exceptionally clear, with wispy white clouds floating like cotton candy across the dome, and a light jacket was enough to ward off the gentle autumn breeze.

The green leaves have not yet turned yellow, and the lingering charm of summer continues.

Chiba Station remains bustling with people, even on holidays, with students and office workers working overtime; foreign tourists are everywhere, curiously and cautiously observing their surroundings, and all walks of life seem to be integrated into this station.

Out of habit, Yu arrived ten minutes early.

While waiting, he idly conducted human observations.

Not long after, when the number of people entering the station was counted to be 31 men, 22 women, and 1 unidentified person, Asuna Yuuki's figure, looking around, finally appeared.

Upon seeing herself, she beamed and quickened her pace to run over.

Her long, flowing chestnut hair was clearly well-groomed, and her makeup was very light, which perfectly highlighted her pure and innocent beauty.

Today she wore a beige V-neck chiffon blouse, paired with a white pleated skirt, and her British-style mid-heeled leather shoes made a crisp sound as they clicked on the ground.

Her long, slender legs were encased in flawless white stockings, the beautiful lines of her legs, tightly covered by nylon, and the fibrous sheen when the light shone on them—almost instantly, they captivated Yuu Tenkuji's eyes.

Her delicate and beautiful face, her perky and full breasts, and her slender waist all paled in comparison to those long, white-stockinged legs.

Now, Yuzai Tenkuji has suddenly realized—

He seems to prefer the long, white-stockinged legs of a seventeen-year-old girl to the giant cat of an adult woman.

"Sorry to keep you waiting?"

Asuna, slightly out of breath, rested her hands on her knees and looked up, seemingly anticipating his response as she peered at his expression.

Tenkuji Yu shook his head seriously, his eyes fixed on her face, but out of the corner of his eye, he had already memorized the visual measurement of her legs.

"No, you've come at just the right time."

"?"

Puzzled, Asuna tilted her head slightly, but quickly put the matter behind her. She naturally wrapped her arms around his, pressing her soft and supple body against him.

But she didn't care at all, and excitedly raised her other hand, shouting enthusiastically:

"Now, let's head to the movie theater!"

The date itinerary is decided together by both of them. First, go to the places she wants to go, then go to the places he wants to go... and so on. This way, they can gradually get to know each other's favorite things or places.

Asuna Yuuki had a movie she'd wanted to watch for a long time, but her mother said it wouldn't be helpful for her studies and told her to watch an American TV series without subtitles instead, which would be a good way to practice her listening skills... At the time, she didn't dare to disobey her mother, so she naturally had to give up on the idea.

And now, just as she was able to see the movie, the remake was released; and just as the remake was released, someone she liked was able to come see it with her.

Such a series of coincidences is nothing short of a miracle.
