Rock Girl Descends Beside Me!

Riki and Nagasaki Sose's clothes were soaked.

The rain started pouring again on the way home from the subway, turning the two of them into drowned rats.

"You should go take a shower first. I'm a music student, I can handle it. If you, a high school student, don't shower soon, you'll catch a cold," Riki said to Nagasaki Sose. Her exquisite school uniform, now wet from the rain, clung to her, revealing a figure that didn't look like a high school student's.

"Mmh... Mmh."

Nagasaki Sose was also cold from the rain and didn't have the energy to be tsundere. She nodded and walked into the bathroom to take a bath. Faintly, the sound of her letting out a long sigh after sinking into the hot water could be heard.

Wait, could this be the legendary—

Vegetable soup.

It sounds healthy.

Kuafu, don't snatch, drive the water spirit away!

As Riki was thinking, he suddenly heard Nagasaki Sose scream from the bathroom.

Startled, Riki opened the door without thinking and rushed in, saying, "What's wrong?!"

"There's something dirty!"

Are you calling me names?

No, not me.

It's that thing.

Riki turned his head to look.

Nagasaki Sose, submerged in the bathtub, shrunk back in fear, pointing a trembling finger at a dark, fuzzy object in the corner. A proliferating G, commonly known as a cockroach.

Then, it flew.

"Ah!!!" Nagasaki Sose screamed, clutching Riki tightly in her bath towel.

Clutching him tightly, with no space in between.

"Quick, help me!" Nagasaki Sose's eyes welled up with tears.

"Okay... uh, okay."

Mr. Riki-Wario said stiffly.

Chapter 35: Sose: Mom, you're back!?

Riki knew he had to keep his eyes on the large, black G flying through the air, but the current situation made it difficult for him to concentrate.

It was like being in a passionate battle, where the general was delivering an inspiring speech, but his attention was drawn elsewhere.

The battle is at hand, concentrate!

I'm so soft!

Face the enemy!

I'm so soft!

Attack!

I'm so soft!

Private Riki over there, what are you whispering about!

Calm down, Private Riki, and properly look at that fair-skinned Yukiko... No, look at that evil, large G!

Riki felt two soft things pressing firmly against him. Her warm body, fresh from the bath, was soft and fragrant.

"You, you, you hurry up and get out, and wrap your towel properly. I didn't look, okay? You can't ask me for emotional distress damages later!" Riki urged.

"Hurry up and get rid of the bug!" Nagasaki Sose's tears were streaming down her face from fright.

She was truly terrified.

Heavenly beings living in high-rise apartments couldn't stand such things.

Riki stared at the large G flying in the air and pulled Nagasaki Sose behind him. He grabbed a weapon with two characters from the side: a clothes hanger!

Suddenly, the large G flew towards him.

Riki's eyes narrowed, and he swung the clothes hanger fiercely, creating a whistling sound through the air.

It dodged.

Damn it, I missed!

"Wuwu!" Nagasaki Sose whimpered, clinging tightly to Riki.

Sister Sose, stop shaking.

Riki tried his best to push the intangible cultural heritage, Ru Ware, that popped into his mind, out of his thoughts.

I've always supported Xiao Zhou by listening to Qing Hua Ci.

Ru Ware isn't interested in anything.

He looked up and saw Big G flying towards him again.

Riki got angry too. You want some of this, huh?

He grabbed a washbasin from the side and brought it down with all his might.

Bouncing Bomb!

"Crack!"

Big G was instantly killed. Riki let out a long sigh. It turns out my old friends are more reliable. I'll kick out any players who use greatswords from now on.

Washing Big G down the drain with water, Riki looked at the window and said, "It must have been a bug that crawled in from outside through a gap in the window. Our house is always clean, we never have these things."

"It's definitely because you don't clean properly!"

Nagasaki Sose wiped her tears, looking pitiful.

"Impossible, Sakiko helps me clean my house!" Riki said righteously.

Nagasaki Sose paused, wiping her tears, "Then the room should indeed be clean. It crawled in from outside. It's true that cockroaches... those things... are common on rainy days."

Damn it, you don't believe me when I say it, but you believe it as soon as I mention Sakiko. Toyokawa Sakiko, you're just flattering people, aren't you?

Is the power of White Moonlight really that strong?

Is Sakiko your dad?

She's my wife!

As a gentleman, Riki wanted to leave without looking sideways after slaying the demon, but Nagasaki Sose grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "Can you wait by the door? I'm afraid that thing will appear again."

That thing?

Member Sose, do you know what you're saying?

Seeing Nagasaki Sose's trembling fingers, Riki sighed, "Fine, I'll stand here. Just call me if you need anything."

Nagasaki Sose pursed her lips and said softly, "Thank you."

She didn't expect Riki to agree. After all, the request was a bit much. Living in his house, eating his food for free, and then asking him to guard the door.

Riki was treating her like a princess.

Looking around vigilantly, Nagasaki Sose sank back into the hot water. Enjoying the quiet atmosphere, she suddenly felt a little nervous and called out to the door, "Riki, are you there?"

"I'm here." Riki's voice was a bit distorted through the door, but it still gave Nagasaki Sose a sense of security.

Nagasaki Sose's mood stabilized slightly. After a while, she became a little suspicious and called out to the door again, "Riki, are you still there?"

"I am."

Listening to Riki's words, Nagasaki Sose smiled and relaxed in the hot water.

She suddenly remembered her actions just now, and her mind exploded like Nagasaki after an atomic bomb, a mushroom cloud instantly appearing. Her cheeks turned as red as apples, and she became redder and redder as she soaked in the water.

Good thing she had a bath towel just now.

But I think I held on a little too tight. He probably didn't notice, right?

This is the first time I've ever hugged a boy first.

Does he not have any thoughts about it?

"Also... I need to thank him." Nagasaki Sose mumbled softly, curled up in the bathtub.

Whether it was living here, or shielding her from the rain just now, or helping her clean... that thing, and most importantly, he hadn't changed his wet clothes yet, right? What if he catches a cold later?

Nagasaki Sose couldn't help but worry a little.

That idiot, I told him to wait by the door and he actually stayed there.

Can't you think about yourself?

Idiot, idiot, serves you right if you catch a cold!

What a rare idiot in the whole world!

Nagasaki Sose muttered softly, but a warm smile appeared on her face reflected in the bathtub water.

This was the first time she hadn't done anything for someone else.

Instead, someone was helping her for no reason at all.

This kind of thing gave her a strange feeling in her heart.

She always felt...

Very warm.

After Nagasaki Sose finished bathing, Riki also hurried to take a shower. He didn't have any lewd thoughts while waiting at the door; he was almost frozen to death, so what was there to be lewd about?

Besides, why did Nagasaki Sose look like she was scrutinizing him after coming out of the shower?

What did I do again?

Riki came out after a hot shower and saw Nagasaki Sose struggling to fasten her buttons. He couldn't help but say, "Don't force it, be careful you don't rip the clothes."

The clothes Nagasaki Sose was wearing were bought by Toyokawa Sakiko. Although they were just Taobao clothes, she had a unique flair for styling them beautifully. Since Nagasaki Sose didn't have any clothes here, she naturally had to wear Sakiko's. However, they were a bit tight around the chest.

Nagasaki Sose looked up at him, then turned her head away, lost in thought.

Is he giving me the silent treatment?

Or is he trying to gaslight me?

Riki, who knew the diameter of Teyvat, didn't understand the depths of a woman's heart.

So he could only sit down on the sofa and let out a cold sneeze.

"Achoo."

"Do you have a cold?" Nagasaki Sose asked.

What else? Was I hit by an elemental reaction?

Riki felt his head was a bit heavy and leaned against the sofa, silent.

Just then, Nagasaki Sose leaned closer and touched his forehead with the back of her hand. His forehead was slightly warm, but not yet feverish.

"You should go to bed," Nagasaki Sose said, pulling Riki towards the bedroom. Suddenly, both of their eyes flashed.

Nagasaki Sose blinked. The night view from the floor-to-ceiling window, the high-rise villa… wasn't this her room?

But… Nagasaki Sose looked at Riki, who was holding her arm. Why had he come over too?
