Asura Field

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, shopping district.

"Also, you are not allowed to sit next to Master. Sit next to me."

There were too many things to retort to that Sakayanagi Arisu didn't know where to start. She could only freeze, take another deep breath, pull out the chair on Ayanokoji's other side, and sit down.

"One cappuccino, two packets of white sugar, please."

Amasawa Reigetsu called the cafe waiter to place the order. Sakayanagi Arisu felt a warmth in her heart; this was her usual order. Just as she wanted to use this to show off to Ayanokoji—

Wait, where did this competitive desire in my heart even come from? Aren't I just acting like I'm bickering with Ayanokoji over jealousy? We are clearly just... the only partners in this world, soulmates, companions on the same path...

"Sakayanagi is in poor health and shouldn't consume excessive sugar and caffeine. Master, you spoil Sakayanagi too much. I'm so jealous."

Ayanokoji's voice was flat, carrying the sensation of an android analyzing a recipe, but the latter half of the sentence made Sakayanagi Arisu bristle instantly.

Complaining that he spoils me, calling him 'Master' to act cute, and then straight-up saying you're jealous!?? Ayanokoji Kiyoko, you little schemer, your Sister Arisu is going to put you in your place today!

Ayanokoji Kiyoko: Ha! (╬◣д◢)

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Black lines crawled all over Amasawa Reigetsu's face.

Fighting over food? Here we go!

It's just that Little Alice hasn't confirmed the relationship yet, so it's hard to directly...

Past Amasawa Reigetsu: Is there any need to think so much? You old man, you've become cowardly! Let me take over and use mental control on both of them to start enjoying the benefits of having them both.

Current Amasawa Reigetsu: You don't understand. If I don't use my own charm to resolve this Shura field, what will I do in the future? What about even bigger Shura fields, more heroines? What about the filler word count?

The water here is deep, you're still too young, I don't suggest wading through it. Let the teacher perform a move—observe first, and solve the problem using the Observation Stare Method.

The air seemed to solidify at this moment, and the soothing light music in the cafe now sounded like the low rumble before a storm.

"Sakayanagi, excessive sugar intake leads to blood sugar fluctuations, which in turn affects your already fragile cardiovascular system. For the sake of your health, this coffee is confiscated."

"You're just jealous, aren't you? Ignoring the dosage to talk about toxicity—it seems your feelings for Reigetsu-kun have become so fanatical that they've burned out your brain~ Too bad Reigetsu-kun will choose the smarter, cuter me, right? You cold, gorilla-like woman."

"I will correct your erroneous perception."

Kiyoko retorted expressionlessly, her eyes fixed directly on Sakayanagi.

"Your reaction just now is defined in psychology as 'jealousy.' But Sakayanagi, from the perspective of status, I am Master's body, Master's mistress, Master's lover, Master's toy, and Master's weapon. And you? Admit it, Sakayanagi, you are jealous. You are feeling a jealous, self-indulgent, and status-less envy."

Ayanokoji's statement was shocking, scaring Amasawa Reigetsu so much he nearly exploded. He hurriedly used group mental induction to make the surrounding people subconsciously ignore their table. Sakayanagi Arisu was even more terrified; so Reigetsu-kun had already... with Ayanokoji—

"I, I didn't!"

Sakayanagi Arisu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; she nearly bounced out of her chair. The composure, elegance, and strategic mastery she prided herself on were utterly defeated in front of this woman who only knew how to throw straight balls.

She felt her cheeks burning and her thoughts stalling. This was a state she disliked, yet she didn't know what to do—

"Sakayanagi, checkmate."

The scene seemed to return to that place where the color had faded—

"No! I won't lose this time!"

Sakayanagi Arisu instantly stood up, bracing herself against the table. Her body even knelt onto the table, and she wrapped her arms around Amasawa Reigetsu's neck, pulling him into a tight kiss.

Eh...? What am I doing? That was clearly my first kiss... but my body moved before my mind... but it doesn't feel bad at all, or rather...

So happy?

Amasawa Reigetsu, who had been sitting on the side demonstrating the Observation Stare Method, had never imagined things would develop like this!?

The girl's soft body rushed toward him with a faint, sweet fragrance. Those slender arms held his neck in a death grip, and the warm sensation instantly occupied all his senses.

Sakayanagi Arisu's kiss was chaotic, carrying both desperation and the awkwardness of a first kiss, yet it was exceptionally passionate, as if she wanted to vent all the panic and unease that had just been poked open by Ayanokoji Kiyoko through this kiss.

Amasawa Reigetsu was surprised that Little Alice would be so bold, then closed his eyes, gently stroking Sakayanagi's smooth hair to offer his acceptance and response.

Across from them, Ayanokoji Kiyoko's android-like eyes finally flashed with a ripple of what could only be called "shock."

Watching this highly impactful scene, her jaw dropped. For a moment, she didn't know how to counter this unexpected move from Sakayanagi.

Ayanokoji Kiyoko is thinking...

Ayanokoji Kiyoko is thinking deeply...

Ayanokoji has given up on thinking!!!

"Waaaah, don't kiss my husband anymore, let me have a kiss too, waaaaah!"

Ayanokoji Kiyoko also hugged him, which startled Sakayanagi Arisu.

What on earth am I doing!!

She abruptly released Amasawa Reigetsu and recoiled as if electrocuted, but because the movement was too sudden, her foot slipped, and she fell back into her chair. That originally fair and delicate face was now red enough to bleed, with even her earlobes and neck stained a vibrant crimson.

"I, I..."

Sakayanagi Arisu was incoherent. She frantically covered her lips with the back of her hand, her eyes darting everywhere, afraid to look at Amasawa Reigetsu or Ayanokoji Kiyoko.

Amasawa Reigetsu took a deep breath, looking at this Little Alice whose face was already completely flushed. Before he could even savor her cuteness in this shy state, his lips were snatched away by Kiyoko again.

"Mmm..."

Having gone through numerous practice sessions and real-world experience, combined with their terrifying capacity for learning, the two of them knew each other's bodies like the back of their hands—

As their lips parted, Ayanokoji Kiyoko looked at Sakayanagi Arisu with a flushed face, as if in provocation, seemingly wanting to make her realize the gap in their kissing techniques.

"I... I-I-I-I'll take my leave now!"

Sakayanagi Arisu fled from this terrifying place as if escaping, and Amasawa Reigetsu watched her panicked retreat...

How cute.
