Chapter 479

Moreover, she also had other questions she was curious about.

"Kuroki."

Haihara called out.

Kuroki Yuka's two slender and long, beautiful legs swayed back and forth under her short nightgown, their whiteness dazzling and very eye-catching.

The girl tilted her head:

"What's wrong?"

She had no idea that Haihara would ask so bluntly next:

Do you like me a little?

The woman's tone was somewhat serious.

Kuroki Yuka blinked, then choked after realizing what she meant.

At first, Kuroki Yuka was slightly confused, but she nodded nonetheless:

"Uh-huh."

"Why? Is there anything about me that's likable?" Haihara asked a question she had already asked Sakaki Chika.

Kuroki Yuka without hesitation:

You are very beautiful.

"... Anything else? Don't I have any admirable qualities?"

"Well..."

To everyone's surprise Kuroki Yuka was indeed stumped by this question.

She lowered her head and began to carefully consider the answer to the question.

Does the woman next to me possess any virtues that are generally accepted by society?

Their work attitude is average, their character is slightly below average, their personality is somewhat unpleasant, and they are completely unfaithful in relationships.

Finally, after much deliberation, she came to a conclusion:

"... Nothing remarkable to report?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a slap on her bottom. She cried out "Ah!" and then she saw the woman's displeased and indifferent gaze.

Kuroki Yuka protested, covering his back:

"Hey, as a teacher, patting a high school girl's butt, isn't that considered harassment?"

"Who told you to not have a tail to pull now?"

"That's even more unacceptable!"

Haihara didn't respond to Kuroki Yuka this time; she crossed her arms, still unable to understand.

Seeing that Ms. Haihara had once again entered the recently common "28-year-old female teacher contemplating life" state, Kuroki Yuka herself crossed her arms and occasionally held her breath.

She half-closed her eyes, stealing glances at Haihara with a slightly sinister look.

Why suddenly ask me if I like it?

Then, after asking, there was no response.

What is this woman thinking?

Although she admitted that her fashion sense was casual, she actually cared a lot. Shouldn't she respond positively to a young girl admitting her feelings?

Kuroki Yuka pouted, her eyes darting around every now and then.

Afterwards, while Haihara was thinking, she deliberately moved closer to Haihara, and then suddenly mustered up her courage and hugged Haihara's arm.

Haihara didn't react; she just glanced in her direction before looking away.

Um?

Kuroki Yuka always felt that Haihara- san was actually not at all resistant to such intimate gestures.

Rather than saying they don't resist, it's more accurate to say they don't know how to refuse.

Could it be that...?

Kuroki Yuka pondered carefully, digging out all sorts of memories from the past, and then re-examining the seemingly ruthless and flawless woman before her.

After a while, Haihara suddenly heard Kuroki Yuka hushed up her voice beside her:

"Um, Haihara, the injuries I sustained while fighting those bad guys the other day really hurt."

"Yeah, so pitiful."

Haihara also put away her little notebook.

"Our... well, although it was for the city and everyone, and we did good deeds anonymously, part of it was also to save you, Miss Haihara."

Kuroki Yuka unconsciously brought her face closer, wearing a fawning and servile expression, along with an indescribable cunning and a hint of wanting to be beaten.

Looking at the child's smiling face, Haihara nodded:

"I know, thank you so much."

Kuroki Yuka nodded in agreement.

After that, for some reason, she started speaking haltingly, rubbing her hands together, her gaze darting around.

"Uh, so... well, for the sake of what I just said..."

Just say it.

Kuroki Yuka for a moment, then revealed his true intentions:

"Can we kiss?"

"Kiss?"

Haihara was taken aback.

"Kiss."

Although she felt a little embarrassed and her face flushed, Kuroki Yuka repeated it again.

It was only then that Haihara noticed how close the child was to her.

"You mean, I'm currently hesitating about my adopted daughter confessing her feelings to me, but before that, I need to consider whether or not I should... kiss you?"

The woman clearly hadn't lost her normal logical abilities.

But before that, Kuroki Yuka knew very well that Haihara- san had already kissed Takanashi and Little Chika.

---Actually, it's just a guess.

But she just felt that those two people had a taste of meat.

"Try it with me first. As the saying goes, once you break one line, you can break many more."

"... What kind of bottom line do you have?"

Haihara immediately felt a little unconvinced.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Kuroki Yuka, that brat, was looking at her with a smug look.

The atmosphere remained tense for a while.

Kuroki Yuka noticed that Haihara- san hadn't spoken again.

At this moment, Kuroki Yuka seemed to finally understand something, her eyes shining brightly.

She became increasingly convinced of her suspicions, her mind racing for a moment, before leaning closer to Haihara as she spoke:

"Then, you don't need to answer me, Miss Haihara."

"You don't need to agree."

"I'll do it myself. Let's be quiet and gentle, okay?"

That way, it wouldn't be Haihara- san taking the initiative.

She braced her hands on either side of Haihara's leg, as agile and cunning as a cat. At this distance, they could clearly feel each other's body temperature and even the rise and fall of their chests.

Kuroki Yuka couldn't tell what Haihara, because she was afraid of being rejected and didn't dare to look at her.

But soon, she heard Haihara- san's very soft reply in her ear:

Just for a moment.

Chapter Three: Fructose and Bed Sheets

In the quiet living room, where breathing could be clearly heard, Kuroki Yuka, after a brief moment of stunned silence, couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to appear too disrespectful or servile, Kuroki Yuka would have jumped up.

She tried to suppress her smile and cleared her throat.

"Wait a moment, Haihara. I'm going to brush my teeth and then chew some candy. Would you prefer lemon or apple flavor?"

Kuroki Yuka immediately got off the sofa. Although she had already brushed her teeth, she had to make sure that this kiss gave Haihara- san the best impression.

Seeing Kuroki Yuka's grinning face, Haihara simply rolled her eyes.

She thought for a moment:

"Don't make it so sweet it'll make me sick."

"Understood."

Kuroki Yuka prepared to tidy herself up properly.

Haihara was speechless as she watched her go to such lengths to get a kiss.

Can't we just end it cleanly and decisively?

She sat there, raised her hand, and stroked her nails, casually filing one side of her nail against the other.

Soon after, Haihara saw Kuroki Yuka return, still sucking on a candy.

Most people, even young girls, would find such behavior lewd, but Kuroki Yuka a uniquely elegant and well-behaved temperament, making her actions rather endearing.

Having a good-looking face really does have its advantages.

Even though she was about to be kissed, Haihara's mind was still wandering.

Then, she saw Kuroki Yuka and asked shyly:

"Could we... go to the bedside, the kind where the curtains are drawn?"

Haihara deliberately remained silent for a while, without answering.

I just wanted to see how Kuroki Yuka react.

Then, she saw the girl start to fidget, her hands behind her back, her thin little bottom swaying involuntarily, and a somewhat embarrassed and self-conscious expression on her face.

Haihara really likes this expression.

She nodded and readily agreed, instantly dispelling the gloom on Kuroki Yuka's face.

"However, I'd like to go to your bed, is that alright?"

Haihara continued.

Kuroki Yuka froze instantly.

"Uh... that works too?"

It seemed there was no room for negotiation this time when seeing Haihara, Kuroki Yuka took Haihara to her house. Along the way, you could see Kuroki Yuka secretly kicking away some clothes that she had carelessly thrown on the ground.

After arriving at Kuroki Yuka's room, Haihara scanned the room but didn't find anything suspicious for the time being.

It seems that after that, Kuroki Yuka's life became much healthier and more organized.

It's also much more hygienic now.

After she came in, the child carefully drew the curtains, plunging the whole room into darkness.

One can imagine that when Kuroki Yuka lives alone, her room is this dark.

Haihara suddenly asked:
