Chapter 79

However, Takanashi Shiori was already aware of the woman's wicked sense of humor, so she simply leaned closer to the woman with a calm expression and obediently nuzzled her shoulder:

"I see..."

She spoke in a submissive tone.

At first, she was rather clumsy in this regard, after all, she wasn't very good at pleasing others, let alone another woman older than herself.

However, after many dates, she had become quite adept at pleasing this woman.

To be honest, because the date was decided so hastily, she didn't know what the date would be about.

From now on, I can only follow Haihara.

"Mother."

"Um?"

What should we do first?

They have quite a few things they can do on dates, such as eating out, watching movies, and shopping, but what they actually do depends on Haihara's mother's mood.

"It's very hot, so I'm going to have some ice cream."

Haihara is very sensitive to heat.

Although she doesn't sweat much, she can't stand being in the sun.

They can spend some time in the ice cream shop, enjoy the air conditioning, and then decide what to do next.

Then, Haihara glanced at Takanashi:

"I'll buy you some clothes this afternoon."

"Clothing?"

"You've worn this a lot, haven't you? I'm tired of seeing it."

The other high school girls Haihara before almost never wore the same outfit twice; some even wore Magic girl cosplay costumes. The service was excellent.

But Takanashi Shiori always wears the same clothes, Haihara is starting to want to find someone else to accompany her.

"..."

Upon hearing these words, Takanashi instinctively looked at Haihara.

Speaking of which, Haihara always dresses beautifully on her dates.

Today, the woman wore a gray sheer blouse that fell over her shoulders, revealing a black low-cut short-sleeved top underneath, which showed off her beautiful, snow-white neck.

Her lower body was clad in a beige, sheer long skirt that only revealed her ankles, paired with thick-soled high heels.

It's a neutral-style outfit.

It was completely different from the gloomy and inconspicuous feeling I usually had at school.

She is probably a cold beauty with a melancholic temperament.

Even Takanashi Shiori has to admit that Teacher Haihara is indeed very charming.

Shortly after that, Haihara and Takanashi Shiori found a fast food restaurant that sold refreshing summer drinks like milk tea and ice cream.

Takanashi Shiori seems to enjoy dating in places like this because she can get free food there.

When they entered the restaurant, the first floor was already full, so they had to go up to the second floor and find a place near the air conditioner to sit down.

Haihara picked up the menu on the table and looked at what flavors of ice cream were available.

After looking at the menu, Haihara took out her wallet, pulled out a banknote, and waved it in front of Takanashi:

"I want the sea salt flavor."

It basically means asking her to order the food.

Takanashi Shiori took the money and went downstairs alone to the counter to order.

Because it's the weekend, there are quite a few people queuing up at the store right now.

However, for some reason, even at this time, there was only one clerk at the front counter, and it seemed like they were overwhelmed with work.

I waited for about two minutes before it was her turn.

The shop assistant was a girl wearing a baseball cap. She wiped the sweat from her brow and asked:

What would you like?

The voice sounds somewhat familiar.

Takanashi Shiori handed over the banknote:

"Sea salt ice cream and a chocolate sundae."

The female clerk took the money, gave the change, and handed it to Takanashi. Behind her, an employee took out a plastic cup and a cookie tin and began making ice cream.

Takanashi Shiori then looked up and examined the shop assistant more closely.

He was about the same height as her, maybe a little shorter, with very fair skin and a thin build. Considering the voice he had just spoken, she felt that this person looked somewhat familiar.

She blinked.

This female shop assistant seems to be...

"Guest, your ice cream... Takanashi?"

The female shop assistant looked up. She also appeared to be a high school girl, with a fair and aloof face, retaining a touch of childishness typical of her age, and possessing a youthful charm.

--It's Kirishima Ai.

Takanashi Shiori also fell into deep thought for a moment, unsure of what to say or how to respond... What a coincidence, she never expected to run into him in a place like this.

She suddenly remembered that Kirishima Ai seemed to often work part-time jobs on weekends...

It's me.

She couldn't pretend she didn't recognize him or not see him.

After the ice cream was made, Kirishima Ai, dressed in a shop assistant uniform, noticed that the customer who had just ordered the ice cream was Takanashi Shiori.

I never expected to run into you here.

Today, Takanashi Shiori seems to have dressed up more carefully than usual; Kirishima Ai is almost never seen wearing anything other than her school uniform.

However, she ordered two ice creams; didn't she come alone?

Did you come with someone else?

"Why do you think that?" Takanashi Shiori, feeling a little guilty.

"Because you ordered two servings."

She was a little curious about who Takanashi Shiori would come with on the weekend.

Takanashi glanced upstairs subconsciously, but quickly looked away, as it was too conspicuous.

She lowered her head and said calmly—

"I'll eat two portions myself."

Kirishima Ai glanced at Takanashi, her gaze shifting slightly, but her expression remained as indifferent as ever, so it was unclear whether the other was lying.

However, Takanashi probably has no reason to lie.

Moreover, there were still customers queuing up behind them, so it wasn't the right time to chat. Kirishima Ai could only say a brief goodbye to Takanashi for now.

After receiving the ice cream, Takanashi quickly went upstairs.

After sitting down, Haihara was waiting on the other side. She didn't know that the shop assistant downstairs was actually her student. Upon seeing Takanashi Shiori, she casually asked:

"The queue took longer than expected. Did something happen?"

"Nothing."

Takanashi Shiori handed the sea salt ice cream to Haihara.

Although the shop has air conditioning, it's not very effective; it's only slightly cooler than outside. If you don't eat it quickly, it will melt.

Like Haihara's ice cream, it's already a little melted.

On a hot summer day, the two of them stayed in the not-so-large shop, enjoying the air conditioning and eating ice cream. For Takanashi Shiori, this was quite pleasant, but now that Kirishima Ai was also in the shop, she felt a little nervous.

She didn't want Kirishima Ai to know about her date with Teacher Haihara; otherwise, she'd have nowhere to explain herself.

Compared to downstairs, upstairs it was just the two of them, and very quiet.

Takanashi Shiori looked up and saw Haihara slowly licking her ice cream, though the ice cream had melted a little and dripped onto the woman's long, slender, white fingers.

She lowered her head.

How do you please a woman in a situation like this...?

"Would you like to try mine?"

Takanashi Shiori looked up and said.

Haihara turned her head to look at Takanashi, and then saw the girl take a spoonful of sundae and awkwardly bring it to her lips.

She didn't say anything, but moved forward a little and took a bite of the sundae.

There's not much to say; the strawberry sundae is very sweet, with a fruity and ice cream flavor that's hard for any woman to resist.

"Is it tasty?"

"Tasty."

Takanashi Shiori cautiously glanced at the teacher's sea salt ice cream:

"May I try yours?"

Haihara glanced down at the sea salt ice cream in her hand; it had melted quite a bit without her noticing, and she'd better eat it quickly.

She held the ice cream to Takanashi's mouth, and the little girl took a big bite without any hesitation, but some of the melted ice cream accidentally got on her face.

After taking a bite, a piece of ice cream fell into Haihara's hand.

Something seems amiss.

Haihara lowered her eyes slightly, looking at her hands covered in ice cream. They'd be sticky and uncomfortable in a moment; what should she do...?

Soon, she reached out her hand to Takanashi Shiori.

Takanashi lowered his head and looked at the hand.

Her mother simply said one sentence today:

"Help me clean it up."

The woman certainly didn't mean using paper.

Based on Takanashi Shiori's understanding of this woman, she quickly grasped what the other person meant.

Looking at her hands covered in ice cream, Takanashi Shiori glanced around to confirm that there was no one else on the second floor besides the two of them.

After confirming it, she gently grasped Haihara's wrist, lowered her eyes, and looked at Haihara's hand.

The hand was fair and slender, stained with melted, milky-white cream, the largest piece clinging to the finger like a ring.

Takanashi Shiori lowered her head:

"I can't do anything with you..."

Then, she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.

A small, pink tongue licked the woman's hand, from the back of her hand to her fingers, touching her soft skin. It was cool and sweet, and because it was so close, you could also smell a faint fragrance.

Takanashi lowered her head and licked the food carefully, after all, she didn't like wasting food.

Actually, a woman's hands are quite sweet...

After licking it, a little taste remained, so she directly put one of the woman's fingers in her mouth and gently sucked on it. The feeling of having someone else's finger in her mouth was strange, but not unpleasant.

After a while, she released her mouth, and between her lips and the woman's fingers, there was still some of her saliva.

After cleaning herself up, Takanashi Shiori wiped her mouth and calmly asked:

Is this okay?

Haihara looked at her hands:
