A Man's Mouth, a Deceitful Ghost

"Eek~"

"They're kissing, they're actually kissing."

On the other side.

Saki Yamashita and the other two were hiding behind a corner, their pretty faces flushed red, peeking at the scene before them like curious children.

They were at the age of adolescence.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, none of the three could bear to look away.

Especially Rika Morofuji.

Her eyes were filled with shock and longing, yet her heart held a trace of disdain.

To be like this right after confessing, they really were two frivolous people.

Rika Morofuji watched the pair with a sour expression.

It wasn't until the two left

that Shiho Manabe secretly made an OK gesture, signaling a retreat, and the three dispersed while gossiping incessantly.

On the other side, at the dormitory building.

Shiho Manabe's pretty face was a deep crimson.

Holding Prince Ganlongdao's hand, she was still savoring the lingering warmth in her mind.

Under the guidance of Prince Ganlongdao, she had felt her mind go blank, as if her entire body were wrapped in a warm spring, instinctively wanting to drift along with the current.

But thinking about it now, she had just confessed, and her first-kiss was already gone.

Shiho Manabe wondered if things were moving a bit too fast.

Yet, it also felt quite good.

Prince Ganlongdao had perfectly satisfied her fantasies about a first-kiss.

Being pinned against the wall by such a tall, rich, and handsome man, being domineeringly claimed as his own—it perfectly fulfilled her Mary Sue novel fantasies.

It was simply... wonderful.

Shiho Manabe stole a glance at Prince Ganlongdao beside her, lightly biting her cherry-colored lips, feeling a bit reluctant to let go of the sensation from just moments ago.

The two arrived at the bottom of the dormitory building.

Prince Ganlongdao held her hand and whispered softly:

"Come to my room?"

"Eh?"

Shiho Manabe was stunned for a moment, then hesitated.

Although she was curious about relations between men and women and wasn't the type of conservative woman who insisted on waiting until marriage, even for a frivolous woman like her, she still possessed at least that much reserve.

They had only just confessed.

Not only had she given up her first-kiss, but now she was being asked to go to his room.

It didn't seem quite right.

"Isn't that inappropriate?"

Shiho Manabe hesitated as she explained, "I don't mean it like that, I just feel like... isn't this a bit too fast?"

"Oh?"

Prince Ganlongdao flicked her dainty nose and smirked:

"What's too fast?"

"I mean..."

Shiho Manabe's face turned bright red, and she playfully swatted him: "Ugh, you know exactly what I mean, you're so bad."

However, there wasn't a hint of genuine anger on her face.

On the contrary, the "badder" Prince Ganlongdao acted, the more she liked it; she just loved that wicked feeling.

"Alright, actually, there is something I'd like to ask of you."

Prince Ganlongdao shrugged and said, "Due to family reasons, I've never had to clean at home. My room is a bit messy right now, so I wanted to ask you to help me tidy up. If you can't, I'll just hire someone from the university to do it."

"Oh, is that all? If it's just that, leave it to me."

Shiho Manabe patted her slightly protruding chest to reassure him.

Cleaning for her boyfriend was something like this.

It was something she felt she ought to do anyway.

Yet, upon hearing it wasn't that kind of thing, she felt a sense of relief, but for some reason, a hint of disappointment as well.

It could only be said that Shiho Manabe was a frivolous person.

She thought she was clever, but in reality, she wasn't very bright.

She basically belonged to the type.

Who believed whatever Prince Ganlongdao said.

She never once considered the possibility of being played for a fool.

Room 602.

"Pardon the intrusion~"

Shiho Manabe walked into the dormitory, looking around with curiosity.

"So this is a boys' dorm? It's exactly the same as mine."

"Aside from the rooms on either side, the layout in the middle should be identical. Want something to drink? I have cola and juice."

"No need, let me handle it~ What would you like to drink, Prince Brother?"

"Cola."

Shiho Manabe took the task upon herself.

Girls who grew up in Sakurajima.

Were basically taught from a young age to become excellent, supportive wives. They had home economics classes starting in elementary school, and some even dreamed of becoming housewives.

Even a gal like Shiho Manabe at least passed her home economics classes.

She walked into the kitchen.

Shiho Manabe opened the fridge and took out the juice.

In truth, Prince Ganlongdao's room wasn't very dirty, but it couldn't be called clean either.

It was just a typical boys' dorm.

His belongings were also very sparse.

Aside from a yoga mat and some dumbbells, there was basically nothing else.

It was very easy to clean.

Of course.

Shiho Manabe's housekeeping skills were also quite average.

Tidying up her boyfriend's room, one could see she was putting in effort.

However.

It was basically just a standard sweep and mop, and then she was done...

Frivolous in personality, average in ability, poor in academic performance, showing no talent in housekeeping, and particularly fond of showing off.

Her head was filled with romantic fantasies, dreaming of finding a Prince Charming.

In the eyes of others.

Aside from her looks and figure.

Shiho Manabe was likely useless, perhaps even a bit noisy and annoying.

In less than ten minutes.

Shiho Manabe had finished the cleaning.

This was likely the result of her intentionally trying to impress.

"All done."

Shiho Manabe looked around, quite satisfied and with a hint of showing off.

"Take a look and see if there's anything else that needs cleaning?"

"..."

Prince Ganlongdao glanced around.

He truly felt the gap between her and the servants at home was too vast; he would still have to find a way to get a woman better at housework to clean for him.

It shouldn't be a problem for Shiho Manabe to learn housework now.

But let's forget about it.

Forcing his own woman to do things she doesn't like.

Aside from sexual interests, Prince Ganlongdao had no such inclination.

That said.

To ask such a question right after finishing the cleaning.

Clearly.

Subconsciously, Shiho Manabe had no intention of leaving.

She had been somewhat worried before entering, but once inside, she found herself drawn to the boy's dorm room.

A sense of curiosity had taken root.

Perhaps.

There might even be a trace of anticipation in Shiho Manabe's subconscious.

A mix of expectation and hesitation.

Most people are like this.

They cannot fully grasp what is going on in their own hearts.

Some people, until the day they die.

Never truly understand what they want.

This is the reason why religions rise whenever war breaks out.

Often.

They just need someone to give them a push from behind, and things will go much more smoothly.

"No need."

Prince Ganlongdao walked up to Shiho Manabe.

He pinned her against the wall with one hand and lifted her smooth chin with the other.

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"You cleaned my room so well, I should give you a little reward."

"A... reward..."

Shiho Manabe's heart was pounding.

She wanted to refuse.

To go straight to the final step right after confessing felt too fast, even for Shiho Manabe.

But thinking about how she had already agreed to be Prince Ganlongdao's woman for the rest of her life.

Whether it was fast or slow didn't seem to matter anymore.

Until Prince Ganlongdao reached his hand toward her most precious place.

Shiho Manabe's delicate body trembled, and with a crimson face, she closed her eyes, surrendering herself completely to him.
