After Traveling Back to Haicheng with Mairin, I Force-Kissed Her (cont.)

<The Temptation of a Family Girl>.

No. LUYI-16.

Keep the change, please.

Something's off with the cool girl... Riki glanced at Hachiman Mairin beside him.

Suddenly the living room door opened, Toyokawa Sakiko, drying her clean hair, walked over and said, "Riki, let me help Hailing with her tutoring."

Riki nodded, noticing that Hailing had somehow adopted a proper sitting posture, different from her seductive pose just now.

Does this cool girl like me?

Riki, keeping an eye on Hachiman Mairin, sat down next to Wakaba Mutsuki and asked, "Mutsumi, is there anything you don't understand?"

Wakaba Mutsuki shook her head. She was very smart and would understand if she had time to study. She looked at Riki and asked, "Did Riki and Su Shi do it?"

Wakaba Mutsuki's words made Riki blink, and Toyokawa Sakiko and Hachiman Mairin next to her immediately looked up.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Mu, let's keep our voices down so as not to disturb Hailing's studies," Riki said, clearing her throat.

Toyokawa Sakiko looked at Riki, a gentle smile on her face.

She didn't know about this.

She only knew Chu Hua and Rikki.

"Not yet," Riki said awkwardly. After Sakiko and Hailing had both looked away, he said, "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

Mu Bao doesn't seem like the type of person who would bring up this kind of issue proactively.

Who introduced this topic to her?

"Mom said that boyfriends and girlfriends can do what they're supposed to do," Wakaba Mutsuki said, looking at Riki. "And Mom has something she wants to say to Riki, it's in my phone's notes."

Is there something your Wakaba's Mother wants to tell me?

Riki looked at Wakaba Mutsuki's phone.

[Only in the Mutual Room.]

There were no verbs in the sentence, but Riki boldly guessed that it must have been some kind of action between a man and a woman.

And isn't that a huge mansion in Mu's room?

Wakaba's Mother want me to go over there?

The affairs of the harem should indeed be made public.

"Riki, I'm really looking forward to it," Wakaba Mutsuki said to Riki with a smile.

I'm really looking forward to it too.

But why is Wakaba's Mother also so looking forward to it?

I really don't like driving that big cart.

Riki thought about it and felt that the only thing to do for now was to wait and see how things went, and get Mu's grades back to where they were. Otherwise, Wakaba's Mother was unhappy to see her daughter's grades drop, she wouldn't agree to anything.

After Riki finished teaching Wakaba Mutsuki, she chatted with her for a while. After Sakiko and Hailing finished learning, they also chatted together. As they talked, they all got sleepy. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, and they fell asleep as soon as they lay down on the table.

Riki felt someone kissing his cheek in his sleep.

Gently, tentatively, as if he would flee at the slightest sound.

It wasn't Sakiko; Sakiko's kisses were sincere and passionate, without a trace of timidity.

It wasn't harmony, but harmony's kisses were soft and simple, carrying only a faint joy.

Is there a third person in my family?

Hachiman Mairin?

Cool girl?

Riki suddenly woke up with a start, sat up, and realized it was already daylight. Wakaba Mutsuki was lying on the sofa, covered with his coat—the one Riki had put on him while half-asleep the night before. She herself was covered with the clothes Sakiko had given her, and beside her...

Hachiman Mairin had already woken up and was standing beside him, dressed in Hanasakigawa's uniform. Her expression was calm as she tilted her head and asked curiously, "Is something the matter?" when she met Riki's gaze.

Did you just steal a kiss from me?

"I think I got bitten by a mosquito. Hailing, have you seen any mosquitoes in the house?" Riki asked, touching her face.

"No, it must be my imagination." Hachiman Mairin maintained her usual dashing demeanor, and after speaking, nodded, "Then I'll head to school now."

Hachiman Mairin remained the same as always.

Riki touched her cheek; the warmth still lingered on her face.

That awkward, nervous, and fearful kiss... was completely unlike Hachiman Mairin's.

But do I really understand Hachiman Mairin?

I've only ever seen the side of her that she presents. What is she really like as a Heavy Woman?

Riki wanted to know.

If it was Hailing who kissed him, then his guess was correct; Hailing did indeed like him.

You are the eighth member of the harem, Hachiman Mairin!

As for the ninth person, Riki wanted to confirm whether Donut Lady secretly liked him.

But first, let's go to Hanasakigawa and find Rikki.

Rikki, I want to win over your childhood friend, can you give me some advice?

Riki hesitated, sensing that Rikki was about to give him a good beating.

Hanasakigawa Academy.

Riki still managed to sneak in by bypassing the gatekeeper. On the way, he was spotted by students from Hanasakigawa who were from another school. Instead of calling out to the gatekeeper, they curiously followed him.

"You're the handsome actor from Tsukinomori, right? Or maybe the music director for Mujica? Could I get your autograph?"

"I heard from a rumor that Hatsuka-chan is the Lead Singer of Mujica, is that true?"

"Handsome guy, hehehe..."

No, who's drooling?

Riki greeted them one by one, suddenly becoming like a celebrity. She finally managed to escape around noon and waited behind the gymnasium for a while before seeing Shiina Riki with two bento boxes.

"Don't just barge into Hanasakigawa, you pervert who breaks into an all-girls school." Shiina Riki put down her lunchbox, held onto her skirt with her ample hips, and sat down next to Riki.

"Is there a problem with me coming to see my girlfriend?" Riki asked.

"Snort."

Shiina Riki snorted, but given her personality, that meant it was fine.

"Rikki, I want to ask you a question," Riki said.

"What?" Shiina Riki asked, opening the bento box and handing the portion with more meat and vegetables to Riki next to him.

"How do I win over my childhood sweetheart, Hailing?" Riki asked seriously.

"... Huh?" Shiina Riki's eyes twitched as she looked at Riki in front of her, her face full of displeasure. "Are you looking for a beating?"

Has this guy finally become this twisted?

Do you have nothing better to do than look for trouble?

I get excited even when I'm called a pervert and a lecher.

Are all boys like this? No, only Riki is like this.

"Don't even think about it, Hailing won't like you." Shiina Riki said irritably, shoving the bento box in her hand into Riki's hand. "Eat your bento!"

It's absolutely impossible for Hailing to like Riki.

"I think Hailing does have a crush on me," Riki said, shaking her head.

"Heh." Rikki sneered.

"Don't you think her rating of me is unusually harsh?" Riki asked again.

"Because you really deserve to lose points," Rikki said calmly.

"She seemed to be deliberately tempting me while I was doing my homework last night," Riki said.

"Have you finally started fantasizing too much?" Rikki said listlessly, propping her chin on her hand.

Riki thought for a long time and nodded, "That's true. Even my childhood sweetheart Rikki said so, so the feeling that Hailing stole a kiss from me this morning must have been just my imagination. Let's eat!"

Shiina Riki closed the lid on the lunchbox in Riki's hand, then turned to look at Riki: "Say that again."

"Let's eat!"

"You know what I'm talking about!" Shiina Riki anxiously.

How could that be!

Riki must have misjudged the situation.

"I felt like I was kissed when I was sleeping this morning, but when I woke up, the only person awake next to me was Hailing," Riki sighed.

Shiina Riki was dumbfounded.

She believed Riki wouldn't lie to her.

But now she'd rather Riki was lying.

Does Hailing really have those kinds of feelings for Riki?

But Hailing never reacted when I mentioned him before!

He didn't react when he scolded Riki, nor when he praised Riki; he didn't seem to care about Riki at all.

"Is there any other evidence?" Shiina Riki asked.

"No," Riki said.

Shiina Riki breathed a sigh of relief. "That's just your imagination."

Not hearing Riki's rebuttal, she couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Rikki said so, how could it be false?"

Shiina Riki, "I... what I said may not be entirely correct!"

She also really wanted to know whether Hailing liked Riki or not.

"Is there any way to verify this?" Riki asked.

"I'll ask myself!" Shiina Riki, taking a deep breath.

We can't let Hailing come along with a scumbag like Riki.

With a drink placed on his head, Shiina Riki looked up and, sure enough, saw the familiar Hachiman Mairin.

"Hailing ..." Shiina Riki hesitated.

"What?"

Hailing's voice was as calm as ever, putting Rikki at ease. It must have been Riki's imagination after all.

"You don't have anyone you like, do you?" Shiina Riki asked cautiously.

"Yes," said Hachiman Mairin.

Who is it?!

"The father of rock and roll, Bill Haley," said Hachiman Mairin.

Isn't that a dead person?

Shiina Riki seemed a little anxious and coughed lightly, "I mean, do you have a crush on any boys around our age?"

Hachiman Mairin looked at Rikki so intently that she became a little nervous. Finally, Hachiman Mairin said, "Yes."
