The Young Lady Tastes the Fruit

The moment Chihaya Airi tasted the green mango, a flash of happiness crossed her eyes. However, the light was fleeting, matching the indifferent and unremarkable expression on her face.

"It's average."

"It seems it doesn't suit your taste, Young Lady. Shall I switch to something else?"

Seeing Kiyoharu about to take the fruit plate away, Airi said, "Never mind, I'll just eat something casually. I can't eat too much fruit in the evening anyway."

"That's true."

Kiyoharu agreed and placed the fruit plate back.

Whenever Kiyoharu appeared so obedient and compliant, Airi's mood would improve. However, she suddenly remembered that Kiyoharu's absolute obedience was solely to earn money, not because he was captivated by her charm. A hint of frustration welled up inside her.

Glancing at the fruit plate, Airi suddenly had an idea.

"Kiyoharu-kun~ I signed too many documents today, my arms are sore..."

"Do you need a massage?"

"No. Ah, you can just feed me the fruit."

Airi stretched in front of Kiyoharu, her graceful curves like waves.

Kiyoharu had no choice but to sit down beside her and pick up a fork, telling himself that this was the last night of his punishment. Starting tomorrow, he could return to the embrace of his games with pride... For the sake of money, he just had to endure it!

His gaze shifted to Airi, watching her slightly parted cherry lips waiting to be fed. Kiyoharu's heart skipped a beat, then another.

Wait...

Could it be another trap?

Come to think of it, the Red-Eyed Devil was extremely happy about his punishment. Perhaps she wanted to find an excuse to continue toying with him, making tonight the perfect opportunity for a trap!

Because he was still within the punishment period, if he made another mistake, according to the contract, he would face a week-long punishment.

What, a week without touching games?

You might as well send Kiyoharu on a mission for the Dormitory Gunner; he might even feel better about that!

Kiyoharu immediately composed himself, ignoring the Young Lady's alluring appearance. With a stern face, he picked up a piece of green mango, dipped it in chili powder, and placed it into Airi's mouth.

"Mmm~ Mmm~"

Airi made an ambiguous chewing and swallowing sound, which was like mental pollution, constantly testing Kiyoharu's nerves.

No, I can't lose!

Just as Kiyoharu was about to unleash his legal code recitation, Airi suddenly said, "I just feel like I'm allergic to forks today. I don't want to use a fork."

"...Aren't these forks always your exclusive cutlery? Why are you suddenly allergic?"

"Who knows? A person's allergens update with changes in their body. Kiyoharu-kun doesn't even understand such basic common sense."

He really didn't understand the allergies of people from that island country...

In his past life, Kiyoharu had heard that the island country was a nation of allergies, with people being sensitive-skinned warriors wearing masks. Having transmigrated into a game-like setting, this aspect seemed to have carried over.

Of course, it was more likely that the Red-Eyed Devil was deliberately making things difficult.

"Alright, then shall I switch to chopsticks for you?"

"Who uses chopsticks to eat fruit? Why don't you just feed me with your hands?"

"Th-that might not be appropriate?" Kiyoharu hesitated.

"What's inappropriate about it? Could it be that feeding me fruit will give you improper thoughts, Kiyou~ru~kun?"

Airi gave him a mischievous smile.

"Not at all. Alright, I'll feed you."

Kiyoharu maintained his expressionless, emotionless face. With his slender, well-defined fingers, he picked up a piece of green mango and brought it to Airi's lips.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Three years ago, when they first started living together, Kiyoharu had accidentally brushed against Airi's shoulder, and she had glared at him fiercely.

Now, Airi was actually asking him to feed her. Even though it was an act with a specific purpose, it still proved that the devil, she had evolved!

However, something even more shocking was yet to come for Kiyoharu.

Airi first opened her mouth and bit off half the green mango. After swallowing, she opened her mouth again and swallowed the remaining half, enveloping Kiyoharu's fingertips.

A tight, warm, soft sensation immediately occupied Kiyoharu's senses, causing him a brief moment of stunned confusion. Then, the instant Kiyoharu regained his senses, her licking tongue and gentle biting teeth, like the vanguard on the left and right flanks of a battlefield, once again suppressed Kiyoharu's rationality.

Finally, the "pop" sound her mouth made as it pulled away was like a decisive heavy artillery strike.

"What are you spacing out for? Have another piece."

"Ah..."

This is bad!

This was beyond the level that reciting legal codes could suppress.

"My apologies, Young Lady, I suddenly have a stomach ache..."

Kiyoharu promptly rushed into the bathroom.

"Kiyoharu-kun, it seems you really need more intense stimulation to show your true self," Airi murmured to herself.

Although she didn't catch him in the act, she knew she had won this encounter.

Winning was all that mattered.

Chihaya Airi had been winning at everything her entire life, and there was no reason she should always lose to Kiyoharu.

However, after shedding her devilishly alluring and tempting demeanor, Airi wasn't in much better shape than Kiyoharu.

She took a deep breath, the front of her long nightgown rising and falling.

She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but Kiyoharu's fingers... had a scent.

It was like the fresh, slightly bitter scent after rain in a mountain stream, mixed with a hint of sweet, non-cloying woody notes.

Combined with the unique taste of green mango dipped in chili powder, it actually made Airi feel the urge to "eat one more bite!"

"Hmph, no... I should stop while I'm ahead. If I let him think I actually like sucking his fingers, he'll get so arrogant his tail will be in the sky," she thought, and then proceeded to insert a piece of fruit herself.

Yet, she felt something was missing.

Just then, her phone screen lit up. It was her best friend, Kitahara Ayano, inviting her out shopping this weekend, and also bringing Shimaura Hitomi along.

[It's been so many years since the three of us went out together. I kind of miss it, remember when the shopping street hadn't been renovated yet?]

[Hmm... that's a good suggestion.]

[If it's okay with you, Airi, I'll tell Hitomi. We're both working at the school now, so we see each other every day.]

[Every day?]

[Yeah, I chat with Hitomi every day at work. I feel like Hitomi has become gentler than before, maybe it's because she's a teacher...]

The slight doubt that had inexplicably arisen quickly faded. So she was chatting with Hitomi every day... that was perfectly normal. Shimaura Hitomi was the only person Kitahara Ayano knew well at Chihaya Academy.

For a moment, Airi thought Ayano might be looking for Kiyoharu, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

They had only met once, and there had been no unusual interactions between them. If there was anything, it was Ayano's joke about the sketch male model, which was a bit... uncomfortable for Airi.

Just a little bit!

She imagined Kiyoharu posing as a male model for a female painter, especially a nude model... If that had actually happened, Airi would have definitely used her family's resources to find a way to send that painter to prison.

Kiyoharu was her private property.

No one else had the right to touch him.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom.

Kiyoharu stared at his right index finger, which Airi had just put in her mouth, and fell into thought.

"So, if I lick it now, I can get 70 Energy Points for free?"

"That's right, that's right, Host! This is like pie falling from the sky, isn't it? You only earned 50 for completing Shimaura Hitomi's previous mission by sheer luck, and now you can get 70 without any effort. Aren't you tempted? Don't just be tempted, act on it! Hurry up and eat the Young Lady's saliva!"

"You're right, but isn't this a bit..."

"Oh, Host, you don't need to feel bad! According to this system's scan, Chihaya Airi has a special constitution full of charm! Her bodily fluids are as delicious as jam, and the men who secretly like her can't even get a taste. You're making a huge profit!"
