As they talked, Daiwa Scarlet's delicate face flushed bright red, and she hurried down the stairs.
Her extremely ample chest bounced with every step as she jogged toward Platinum.
Once she reached Platinum, Daiwa Scarlet couldn't help speaking up.

Daiwa Scarlet had meant to politely call her Miss Platinum.
