Warning! This Chapter Contains Sensitive Taboo Topics!

However, Yukino's gaze was completely focused on the little kittens.

"What are you pretending for? Everyone knows you like cats. Go take a look."

Shuya led the way to the entrance of the pet store, Yukino appeared reluctant but actually moved extremely fast.

Welcome!

The female shop assistant called out, but the store was too busy to come over and serve anyone.

That's perfect.

Shuya the type who doesn't like being waited on; he prefers to browse and choose on his own.

Once Yukino entered the store, all she could see were cats, cats, and more cats.

As for Shuya... who is that again?

She approached the glass panes, greedily watching the playful kittens.

"Meow..."

Yukino whispered unconsciously.

The clever Shuya, and her entire appearance was captured on camera.

He didn't plan to share it in the group chat; he was afraid Yukino- chan would go berserk.

This precious footage can only be kept as a keepsake.

Yukino engrossed in playing with the kitten through the glass, a warm and gentle smile on her face.

After having her fill of fun, she suddenly turned around and saw Xiuya, who hadn't had time to put his phone away and had an "Oh no!" Shuya on his face.

Yukino's face immediately darkened.

"You... took pictures of them all?"

"..."

Mistake! She was so cute that I got completely absorbed in watching her...

Shuya thought for a moment, then, mimicking the scene from the eroge he'd just played, he approached with a wicked smile, "If you don't want me to spread these photos, you know what to do, right?"

Okay, this completely exposes what kind of adult games he plays.

As he drew closer, he saw Yukino's porcelain-white cheeks and smelled the fragrance of shampoo.

Yukino sighed deeply:

Are you an idiot?

"Huh? It didn't work?"

"..."

Yukino strode out of the shop, not wanting to pay him any attention.

Shuya put away his phone and followed, saying, "If you like cats so much, why don't you get one?"

Pets are not allowed in the apartment.

"That's why I told you, I'll give you a few cat demons to be your maids. They can take care of you, guard the house, and I can pet them too."

"... Those aren't cats, they're demons."

Yukino shook her head vigorously.

This demon was originally a human...

She has no strange interest in keeping people as pets.

"I get it, so Yukino- chan isn't the type to keep a gigolo."

After listening to her explanation, Shuya gave his summary.

"Can you please stop having so many outrageous ideas!"

Yukino had had enough of his flirtatious talk and angrily slapped his arm, but Shuya grabbed her arm.

"Let go."

"I won't let go."

Yukino glared at him, a chill surging within her, bursting forth continuously in her hands.

Shuya had swirling energy in his hand. The two forces met in his hand, and a faint vapor dissipated.

The Strange Arts activated with a ripple, drawing everyone's attention to the two individuals.

The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman always attracts attention, and since they seemed to be arguing, it was inevitable that they would draw curious glances.

"Ah..."

A slightly surprised voice came from afar.

Shuya and Yukino turned their heads at the same time, as if on cue.

A Yellow Hair high school student awkwardly looked away and walked away chatting and laughing with his classmate.

Shuya recognized that it was the classmate sitting next to him.

Remembering that many of his classmates would come to this mall, he let go of Yukino's hand.

Yukino- chan is emotionally unstable right now, so let's not upset her.

"Was that Hayama just now?"

Yukino's gaze lingered on the Yellow Hair's retreating figure.

"Really? I don't quite remember the man's name. By the way, do you know him?"

Shuya complained, "I think that guy is a total jerk! I don't even know him, but he talks to me all the time. It's terrifying."

"No, you're saying you don't know him?"

Yukino raised an eyebrow.

Should I get to know him?

"Yes, you should."

Why? Just because he's a celebrity at school?

Shuya's tone was disdainful.

That's not how it works... Never mind. It's not important.

Yukino seemed to have heard something interesting, and her mood suddenly improved.

She gave a faint smile and glanced at Shuya.

Let's look around some more.

She took the initiative to invite her.

"Ah? Okay, okay."

Shuya nodded, and then Yukino started walking forward.

The distance between her and Shuya has finally returned to the distance before Haruno caused trouble.

After shopping, Shuya and Yukino went to the supermarket.

Shuya pushed the cart while Yukino walked beside him selecting ingredients.

I didn't run into anyone I knew this time.

After buying the groceries, the two leisurely returned to Shuya's house.

Then Yukino put on an apron, tied her hair into a ponytail, and started cooking.

I've mentioned before that she's a great cook, and she and her sister, Haruno, are both very skilled at housework.

Since Yukino rarely came over to cook, Shuya filmed some videos to save, then watched TV and waited.

Yukino glanced at him several times while he was filming, and seemed a little unhappy.

Around 7:30, we were finally able to start eating.

The two ate while watching TV. Yukino barely spoke, but she would respond with a few words Shuya brought up a topic.

After the meal, Shuya took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Yukino went out of the living room to pick some flowers.

When Yukino came out after washing her hands, she intended to go straight back to the living room, but when she saw the stairs, an idea suddenly popped into her head.

Shuya had just been filming and taking photos, and given his previous harassment of her, Yukino was angry and wanted to find out if he had any weaknesses so she could retaliate later.

Moreover, she heard from Ayase that Shuya was very secretive about his room and rarely allowed people to enter.

There is undoubtedly some secret involved.

Yukino acted on her thought immediately, quietly stepping onto the stairs.

We soon arrived at the second floor.

Shuya turned off the lights before leaving, and left the door open, so both the room and the hallway were completely dark.

Yukino didn't turn on the light, nor was it necessary.

Her eyes gleamed with a faint blue light as she discreetly stepped into the corridor and quietly entered the room.

Yukino listened for a moment; she could hear the sound of water coming from downstairs, the sound of dishes being washed.

She composed herself and looked around the room.

The first thing you see is the screen that's still open, where the Little Ero game interface is lit up.

However, there was nothing indescribable; it was just a regular character illustration.

Yukino quite disappointed.

But there was still plenty of room to search, so she scanned the entire room with her eyes.

There was a large bed in the corner, a large wardrobe on the other side, and a desk next to the wardrobe.

All three things look normal.

The bed was made neatly, a computer screen sat on the desk, and the computer case was underneath.

The low hum of the main unit running was the only sound in the room.

Yukino glanced at the desk, then walked past it and quietly opened the wardrobe.

There was nothing unusual about it; it was just clothes lying around as usual.

There were several drawers at the bottom of the wardrobe. Yukino opened them one by one, revealing items such as underwear and belts.

She felt as if she had seen something filthy, and frowned unhappily as she closed the door.

Then, ignoring the glass display case of figurines to the side, her gaze fell on the floor beneath the bed.

She crouched down to take a look, but there was nothing inside; the pornographic book wasn't there.

Yukino returned to the center of the room and looked around.

Finally, her gaze fell on the bookshelf.

Yukino moved to the bookshelf, her back to the door, and searched intently.

She was so engrossed in her search that she didn't notice... the sound of water running downstairs had been there all along.

It has stopped.

In the darkness, Yukino groped for the bookshelf.

Yes, this is a script... a novel... a comic... a textbook...

She searched quickly and carefully, and actually found some hidden traces.

Some books were deliberately hidden.

Yukino's eyes lit up, and she took out all the books.

Before she even looked at the covers, she could tell that these books had been read many times.

She was completely absorbed in the book and didn't notice the faint footsteps coming from the stairwell.
