They are really too low!

"Hoshino Mi: If you ever get into trouble again, just let me know."

Shoko Toyokawa seemed to see the boy's smile again, and she suddenly realized that she was a little reluctant to let go.

If it weren't for Hoshino Mi, she would probably still be struggling to find a job right now.

Moreover, she hasn't repaid Hoshino Mi yet.

So let's keep it to ourselves for now, at least until she repays this favor.

"Toyokawa Shoko: I won't cause you any trouble next time. I was just reflecting on my actions."

Hoshino Mi: What should you reflect on about yourself?

"Toyokawa Shoko: If you have ulterior motives, I shouldn't have followed you."

Hoshino: You're only realizing it now?

Toyokawa Shoko bit her lip, a hint of annoyance in her eyes. What did she mean by only realizing it now?

Yes, she only realized now that a girl shouldn't leave with a stranger, but it wasn't her fault; he had said he was going to a friend's house.

As Toyokawa Shoko was thinking about how to retaliate, her phone vibrated slightly again. She thought it was Hoshino Mi saying something infuriating again, but she found it was the last thing she wanted to see.

Nagasaki Motoyo: Hey, Sho, did something happen? Can you tell me?

"Nagasaki Motoyo: Actually, leaving the band wasn't Xiaoxiang's true feeling, right?"

"Nagasaki Motoyo: We all had such a great time in the band, why do this all of a sudden?"

"Nagasaki Motoyo: I'm sorry, I'm not blaming Sho. I really want to see you. Everyone would be so happy if you could come back."

"Nagasaki Motoyo: Where are you? Can we meet?"

"..."

When Toyokawa Shoko clicked on the message, she found that the other party had been sending her messages non-stop since last night, sending hundreds of messages relentlessly.

Since she hadn't had time to check her phone all day, she had no intention of paying any attention to the other person.

It is obvious that this approach will not work.

Shoko Toyokawa fell silent; her time in the band was indeed her most unforgettable experience.

However, she can never go back.

The other party quickly noticed that Toyokawa Shoko's message had been read and sent more than a dozen messages in quick succession.

"Toyokawa Shoko: Please don't contact me again."

After sending the message, Toyokawa Shoko didn't wait for a reply but instead blocked the other party.

She put down her phone and began to carefully consider how to proceed with her tutoring work.

Although it's just a temporary job, she won't give it up.

……

At the same time, Eriri was lying in bed, tossing and turning, thinking about the scene from this afternoon, occasionally letting out a silly laugh.

Hehehe, it looks like she kissed a guy!

Even though it was just an indirect kiss!

The girl hugged her pillow, her two fair and delicate legs kicking wildly behind her, like a lively lobster.

After splashing around for a while, Eriri stopped. She seemed to remember something and blushed a little.

Was Hoshino Mi really planning to kiss him at that time?

If they were to actually kiss, should she close her eyes or hold her breath?

Eriri imagined it for a moment and felt her whole body burning up. She touched her cheeks and was relieved that he hadn't kissed her, otherwise even her ears would have felt hot.

Well, actually she was a little embarrassed.

Since Hoshino hadn't kissed her yet, she went to the bathroom.

If they were to actually kiss, it would probably happen right there on the spot...

Eriri covered her cheeks. There was no reason for this. She shouldn't be this incompetent. It made her seem like a repressed little virgin!

Damn it, it must be Hoshino Mi's fault!

The girl gritted her teeth and couldn't help but reach down, wanting to take the opportunity to exercise and see if it was really her fault.

Just then, Eriri suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and turned around abruptly.

Her mother was standing in the doorway, and their eyes met.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see anything." Sayuri Sawamura quietly closed the door.

"I...I...I didn't do anything bad!" Eriri cried out, both ashamed and angry. "Mom, could you please knock next time? You're not a little kid anymore!"

Sawamura Sayuri blinked. She was just very concerned about the progress of her daughter's relationship with her childhood friend, which was why she wanted to find out about what happened today.

However, it seems there's not much progress, otherwise they wouldn't have started brewing at home.

Chapter Seventeen: My brother is a perverted foot fetishist.

Hoshino watched the crushing defeat on the screen and fell into deep self-doubt.

"Brother, you're so bad. You've lost to me seven times in a row with Pudding."

Kasugano Sora held her game controller, revealing a slightly reserved smile at just the right moment, with her cute fangs faintly visible.

"It's not that I'm bad, it's just that the weather is too hot, my palms are all sweaty, and it's easy for my hands to slip." Hoshino defended himself, saying that he usually plays against bots and can easily kill them, so it's definitely not because of his skill level.

Kasugano Sora glanced at the air conditioner in the living room and sighed, "It's my fault. I made my brother lose so badly that he's talking nonsense now."

"If you don't believe me, let's play another round." Hoshino said with a serious expression.

"Hey, are you going to say it's too cold and your hands are shaking, which will affect your performance?" Kasugano Sora thoughtfully prepared another excuse for him.

"Is this your impression of your brother?" Hoshino asked, extremely dissatisfied. "You win and then try to run away? I don't recall ever teaching you such a despicable tactic."

"Alright, alright." Kasugano Sora coaxed a child. "Let's play another round, but remember, you already owe me seven puddings."

"Just pudding, I can have as much as you want." Hoshino made a bold statement, already having figured out his winning formula.

Kasugano Sora looked at him suspiciously, but Hoshino remained unfazed.

So the two started a new game, a popular fighting game.

Today is the first day of spring break, and Hoshino Mi has been playing games with Kasugano Sora all morning.

Hoshino Mi kept stealing glances at Kasugano Sora beside her. Today, she was wearing a white shirt that should have been Hoshino Mi's, which was very loose and completely covered the girl's figure. Only a small patch of fair and smooth collarbone was exposed at the collar, and her slightly protruding breasts could be vaguely seen. Below, she was wearing cool shorts that hugged the girl's pert buttocks, and her pair of fair and tender legs were easily exposed in front of her, with her bare feet stepping on the floor.

Because she was concentrating, Kasugano Sora didn't notice his gaze. As the fight on the TV screen progressed, she leaned forward slightly, her collar hanging loosely, revealing even more of her delicate skin.

Hoshino couldn't resist reaching out his sinful hand towards the girl's soft waist because of her completely unguarded appearance.

Just as the girl was about to unleash her ultimate attack, Hoshino took advantage of her momentary lapse in attention and suddenly tickled her.

"Awoo..." Kasugano Sora shuddered, and her ultimate move missed.

Hoshino took the opportunity to attack her character relentlessly, taking away a third of the girl's health with a single combo.

"See!" Kasugano Sora exclaimed, her temper flaring up. When she got angry, she would call out Hoshino Mi's name directly.

“My foolish sister, a true fighter will stop at nothing to achieve ultimate victory,” Hoshino sneered. “This is your brother’s teaching, and you should remember it with gratitude for the rest of your life.”

As he spoke, Hoshino continued to tickle her.

"You...you're cheating!" Kasugano Sora, seeing that she had lost control of her character, didn't hesitate to bump her shoulder into Hoshino Mi next to her.

“It’s not cheating, it’s for the sake of fairness.” Hoshino had a good reason. “You stay at home playing games all day, so of course you’re better at it than me. As your older brother, I can only find fairness in other ways.”

The two bumped into each other. Kasugano Sora, being a girl, realized she couldn't overpower Hoshino Mi, so she immediately moved to the other side of the sofa and used her feet to block Hoshino Mi's body, preventing the latter from getting closer.

"It's no use, the equation for victory was already predetermined." Hoshino sneered a few times, then grabbed her toes and started tickling her soles.

"No...don't tickle me!" Kasugano Sora's face turned bright red; the girl's feet were a very sensitive spot.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon. My ultimate move is about to fill up the gauge." Hoshino held down her little feet, touching her ankles and tickling her soles while diligently controlling the game controller.

Kasugano Sora gritted her teeth in anger. That shameless older brother!

A moment later, the character she was controlling finally met a tragic end at the hands of Hoshino Mi.

"Alright, that's enough for today's game." Hoshino Mi released Kasugano Sora's ankle with satisfaction. "Remember your brother's teachings well, and never let your guard down."

The girl lay on the sofa, her face still flushed from earlier, panting heavily.

"My brother is a perverted foot fetishist." Kasugano Sora glared at him resentfully.

"When did I become a perverted foot fetishist?" Hoshino was speechless. Does scratching someone make you a perverted foot fetishist?

"Anyway, he's a perverted foot fetishist." Kasugano Sora pouted and touched her little feet, which were already showing a pinkish-red color, the marks left by Hoshino Mi.

A young girl's body is very delicate, and even a little bit of overplaying can leave very obvious marks, especially on her fair and tender feet.

"How about... I let you scratch me back?" Hoshino felt he should make his stance clear.

"No way!" Kasugano Sora said with disgust, sitting up. "Even if my brother wins, he still owes me seven puddings."

“There are six, and I’ve already won one back,” Hoshino emphasized.

"Mmm, you won a round." Kasugano Sora nodded perfunctorily. "Could you please go to the refrigerator and get my spoils?"

Hoshino was initially reluctant to go, but thinking about what she would say about him being a perverted foot fetishist, he got up and went to the refrigerator to get some pudding, though he only took one.

There are only three puddings left.

"It's okay, consider it my brother owing me three. He'll buy them for me next time."

"Why don't you come out with me next time?"

"No, the outside world is too dangerous. It's more comfortable at home."

"You've become such a lazy person that you're practically in the late stages of being a homebody."

Kasugano Sora didn't care about Hoshino Mi's doubts at all. Just like just now, she didn't care that Hoshino Mi was playing with her toes. Anyway, she would marry Hoshino Mi sooner or later.

"Brother, feed me." Kasugano Sora obediently moved closer to Hoshino Mi.

"You're eating my pudding, do you need me to feed you?" Hoshino suspected that she was just showing off.

"Hey, at worst I'll satisfy my brother's perverted foot fetish desires from now on." Kasugano Sora's face flushed slightly as she clung tightly to Hoshino Mi's arm. She only acted like this when the two of them were alone.

The girl's soft, cuddly bunny pressed against his arm, and Hoshino could hardly ignore the touch. It also carried a familiar scent, a girl's way of being coquettish, which was hard to resist.

"Okay, okay, only for today." Hoshino was too lazy to refute the label of "perverted foot fetishist."

Kasugano Sora smiled somewhat reservedly, but her little tiger teeth were still showing.

Hoshino took a spoonful of pudding, and Kasugano Sora obediently opened her mouth so that he could feed her. Then, with the spoon in her mouth, she swallowed the cool pudding in one gulp.

Kasugano Sora leaned on Hoshino Mi's shoulder, enjoying this everyday time together, undisturbed by anyone, just the two of them.

This is a time that belongs only to family, unlike Eriri and the others.

That's why Kasugano Sora didn't say anything even though she clearly saw Eriri's group chat history last time.

If Eriri is a childhood friend, then she can be a childhood friend too, and she'll be Hoshino's best childhood friend, so good that she wouldn't mind if Hoshino wanted to do anything to her.

Suddenly, Hoshino's phone vibrated.

Hoshino took out his phone, and the girl next to him became somewhat wary.

"Is it news from Eriri or Mana?" Kasugano Sora narrowed her eyes slightly. She finally had some free time and didn't want to share Hoshino Mi with anyone.

“It’s Mana’s news.” Hoshino handed her her phone. “She’s been practicing piano lately and sent me a video.”

Kasugano Sora was wary of this idol and immediately picked up her phone to look at it.

Why is she suddenly practicing piano?

"They said they wanted to use it as a secret weapon to amaze everyone on stage."

"Tsk, acting impulsively."

Kasugano Sora immediately lost interest, scrolled through Hoshino Mi's phone, and immediately noticed a stranger as a friend.

"Who is this person named Toyokawa Shoko?"
