Put on Stockings, but Only Stockings
"Suitable for us?" Yukino and Utaha both looked puzzled.
"Wait a moment." Fushimi Makoto and walked towards the bedroom.
When he returned, he had a new cat-ear headdress in his hand.
Utaha was stunned.
Yukino blushed, feeling a mix of embarrassment and anger.
What does he want to do?
Fushimi Makoto calmly sat down and said, "I know you enjoy competition and want to see who wins. But if it's just a simple argument, that's really boring. How about adding a new element to the game? That will ignite your desire for victory."
He shook the cat ear headband in his hand as he spoke.
This is another one he just bought.
"The stakes you're talking about are, whoever loses, has to wear the cat ears?" Utaha's eyes were strange.
"That's right," Fushimi Makoto admitted.
"Then you're definitely going to be disappointed." Utaha chuckled lightly, her expression mocking.
Knowing Yukino as she did, she knew the other party would never agree to such a condition.
Therefore, she felt that Fushimi Makoto was doing something futile.
But when Fushimi Makoto looked at Yukino and asked in a serious tone, "Would you like to see senpai wearing cat ear headbands?"
Yukino almost without hesitation, "You've successfully piqued my interest."
She had worn cat ears herself and shown them to Fushimi Makoto, and no matter how many times she thought about it, she still felt embarrassed.
Now that her most admired rival has the chance to wear cat ears, how could she not be tempted?
Just imagining Utaha gives Yukino immense pleasure.
As for losing?
Yukino wouldn't even think about that.
On the one hand, she is very confident in herself.
On the other hand, she has fairly extensive experience as a catgirl...
There's a saying that goes, "Many things can only be done zero times or countless times."
Yukino is no longer opposed to becoming a catgirl.
What she resisted was becoming a catgirl for Fushimi Makoto Seisuke.
"Wait, you agreed to that?" Utaha was taken aback.
She truly hadn't expected Yukino to agree.
She was actually expecting a disappointed look on Fushimi Makoto's face after Yukino rejected her.
"Because I will win, it's that simple," Yukino said confidently.
Utaha was silent for a moment, then asked with great suspicion, "Yukinoshita, I have a question for you."
"Ask."
"You didn't wear cat ears a while ago, did you?"
"..."
"Logically speaking, you should be very resistant to this kind of thing. After all, it's always embarrassing to wear cat ears for a guy like Fushimi Makoto to admire."
"..."
Yukino remained silent for a while; Utaha's keen perception was somewhat beyond her expectations.
Fortunately, Fushimi Makoto's voice rang out. "What do you mean, 'a guy like me'?"
Utaha scoffed, "What gives a pervert who likes girls' legs the audacity to ask such a question?"
Fushimi Makoto would never deny that he enjoys looking at legs, Utaha's sarcasm would definitely not break through his defenses.
After a while, Utaha, feeling uneasy because Yukino was still hesitant to answer, changed her mind and said, "I think we need to change our bargaining chip."
Yukino regained her composure. "For example?"
"For example, we can do something together, and whoever wins, the loser must grant the winner a request, but this request cannot be something that embarrasses the loser."
"I refuse," Yukino said decisively.
Since the request wouldn't bring her any pleasure, she had no interest in wasting her time on it.
Utaha's lips curled up, as if she had expected Yukino's answer.
She pointed to Fushimi Makoto beside her and said, "How about this: whoever loses has to grant Fushimi one request."
Fushimi Makoto: "Such a good thing?"
Yukino gazed into Utaha's confident eyes and said slowly, "You might regret this."
"I was the one who started this competition, how could I possibly regret it?" Utaha didn't think she would lose at all.
She dragged Fushimi Makoto into this mess just to create an opportunity for Yukino to embarrass herself.
She considers herself a strong person.
Therefore, the strong should ruthlessly humiliate the weak!
She was quite unhappy because the two of them had taken leave together for a "date".
Chapter 228 Wearing stockings, but only stockings
Both Yukino and Utaha are quite confident girls, and given their rivalry, the "confrontation" between them is, in Fushimi Makoto's eyes, quite exciting.
So he just stood by and watched the whole thing.
"So, you're sure you want to have a match with me, senpai?" Yukino saw Utaha's determination, but she remained calm.
"It's a fair and just competition," Utaha emphasized again.
"Can."
Yukino likes the concept of fairness and justice, and coincidentally, the methods of punishment also piqued her interest.
The loser must agree to one condition Fushimi Makoto.
This is interesting.
Yukino doesn't think about what she would do if she lost.
She only wanted to see Utaha's humiliating appearance after being punished.
As for why she was so sure that Utaha would embarrass herself?
"If you give Fushimi such a perverted person a chance, he will definitely make demands that will embarrass you." Yukino bluntly said what was on her mind.
Utaha smiled lightly, "Of course I know that."
Otherwise, why would I have chosen this method of punishment?
"So, you're not going to ask for my opinion?" Fushimi Makoto's voice rang out.
The two beautiful girls looked over at the same time.
Yukino's tone was unfriendly. "Why do you ask? Do you think you're unwilling?"
Utaha smiled knowingly, "Fushimi, I've given you a perfect opportunity. Have you thought about how you want to punish Yukinoshita?"
"Those who are blindly confident will eventually pay the price for their foolishness," Yukino retorted sharply.
"Really?" Utaha exuded a strong aura.
Then she looked at Fushimi Makoto again. "You still haven't answered my question."
"How could I possibly have an idea so quickly?"
Fushimi Makoto spoke, he placed the cat-ear headdress on the table, feigning helplessness. "From the time you decided to spar until now, only a few minutes have passed, and you even dragged me in halfway through. I didn't have time to think at all."
"It's alright, you can take your time to think about it." Utaha's lips continued to curve upwards. "I can kindly remind you that you must come up with an interesting punishment, otherwise this competition will be meaningless."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yukino.
"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too." Yukino accepted the challenge.
Fushimi Makoto asked casually, "The loser has to wear cat ears all day. What do you think of this punishment?"
"No!" X2
Utaha and Yukino both refused.
Utaha was thinking: Yukinoshita's reaction just now looked like she had been wearing cat ears. If I punish her like this, I definitely won't see her ashamed expression.
She found this punishment too boring.
Yukino's idea was: with her senior's looks and fashion sense, if she wore cat ears, Fushimi would be very happy.
If Fushimi Makoto good mood, Utaha might not feel embarrassed at all; instead, she might feel smug.
Men will be happy as long as they're shown this kind of thing.
Yukino hadn't seen that meme, but she was smart and knew Fushimi Makoto, that pervert, very well. She wasn't going to let this showdown become a fun game for him.
"Since you all think it won't work, I'll think about it some more." Fushimi Makoto pretended to be deep in thought.
However, he almost couldn't help but laugh.
He had already thought of the punishment conditions from the beginning, but if he were to state them directly, the two beautiful girls might disagree due to concerns about the appropriateness of the punishment.
So he casually mentioned the cat-ear headdress, just to lower their guard.
So far, this tactic seems to be very effective.
Given their intelligence, to avoid revealing his true intentions, Fushimi Makoto proactively asked, "How do you plan to compete?"
"Since it was senior who suggested it, let her say it." Yukino had the air of a general.
Utaha didn't refuse. "Let's have a contest of observation skills."
"Observational skills?" Yukino somewhat surprised.
Fushimi Makoto didn't expect Utaha to choose this.
"I talked to Ichika a few days ago. Although our conversation was short, I could still tell that her attitude towards Yukinoshita was complicated. She clearly disliked Yukinoshita, but she also had an undeniable fear of her."
Utaha paused, her eyes fixed on Yukino's calm face. "Through my probing, I quickly learned why she fears you. In her own words, you seem to be very good at reading people's minds, always able to see through her thoughts from the slightest clues."
"Thank you for the compliment," Yukino readily admitted.
In her previous encounters with Nakano Ichika, she indeed won by virtue of her keen observation skills.
She had previously commented on Nakano Ichika's skill level. "She's got some skill, but that's about it."
Unfortunately, the opponent's personality is similar to her older sister's, which makes it even easier to ignite Yukino's fighting spirit.
However, Nakano Ichika was too weak, and Yukino didn't even need to prepare any backup plans. She could easily defeat the eldest daughter of the Nakano Family with her observation skills alone.
"If you're going to compete in this, who are you going to observe?" Fushimi Makoto asked, quite intrigued.
Utaha glanced at him instinctively.
Fushimi Makoto thoughtfully reminded her, "I've known Yukino longer than you have, so I don't recommend that you observe me, senpai."
Yukino's lips curled up. "Although this guy sometimes does stupid things, he was telling the truth this time. If you want fairness, then don't choose him."
Utaha suddenly became unhappy.
When did you two become so in sync?
Am I misinterpreting my feelings, or am I truly smelling the stench of love?
Utaha's chest heaved as she composed herself, "Thank you for reminding me. Since Fushimi is out of the running, we'll have to find a new target for now."
"Do as you please." Yukino's smile remained unchanged.
Fushimi Makoto felt that she had left out half a sentence.
The full version of this sentence should be: Do as you please, I'm invincible.
At Utaha's suggestion, the three of them went out together.
