Chapter 71

"What!?"

Shido called out again.

Kotori never expected that Lingmeng and Tohka would both go together.

Shido initially intended to stop Tohka before she came in, but before he could say anything, the bathroom door opened.

"!!!"

Shido's eyes widened instantly.

Fortunately, he jumped back into the bathtub a second before Tohka opened the door, hiding his entire body in the water.

"Wow~ that's why her reaction time is so fast at this moment."

Looking at Shido in the water, Lingmeng muttered to herself.

When she turned around, Tohka, who had been outside the door, had already come in.

"Oh, so Lingmeng, you're here too! Let's shower together!"

Seeing that Lingmeng was also in the bathroom, Tohka did not show any aversion; on the contrary, she nodded happily.

However, unlike Lingmeng who was wearing a bath towel, Tohka came in completely naked.

Well, it's normal to take a shower in the bathroom without wearing anything.

Chapter Sixteen: You scoundrel, you actually schemed against me!

"Ah~ Is this heaven?"

Looking at Tohka's incredibly pure body, Lingmeng closed her eyes, slightly raised her head, and revealed an extremely satisfied smile.

Completely ignoring Lingmeng's lecherous expression, Tohka ran towards the bathtub.

"Wait— Tohka!"

When Lingmeng Tohka trying to get into the bathtub and immediately stopped her. Shido had already reserved the bathtub for her.

But it was all too late.

"I'm the first one!"

With a leap, Tohka jumped directly into the water, instantly creating a huge splash.

"Waaah--"

While in the water Shido was pinned down by Tohka, and a sharp pain shot through his abdomen.

But because he was in the water, he could only let out weak, mournful cries.

"Ah, so it was too late after all?"

Covering her forehead, Lingmeng said this.

"Um?"

Just then, Tohka seemed to realize that something was wrong.

She stared intently at the milky white water, and then a head emerged from the water.

That's right, this person is Shido, who has been sitting in the water and is about to Shido.

"Aya... Lingmeng, this is...?"

Perhaps unable to process such a huge amount of information at once, Tohka stared blankly at Lingmeng.

"As you can see, he is Shido."

"Waaah..."

Hearing Lingmeng's answer, Tohka turned her gaze to Shido again.

"Hello... Hello."

Shido forced a smile and said awkwardly.

Then--

"Aaaaaah... Shido, you Pervert!"

Her face instantly turned red, Tohka immediately grabbed Shido's head and pushed it underwater.

"Gurgle gurgle--"

Because Tohka suddenly pushed him into the water, Shido made a sound like he was drowning and frantically flailed his limbs.

"Toh... Tohka, calm down..."

"Idiot! Don't come out!"

Shido finally managed to lift his head once, but before he could say more than a few words, Tohka suppressed him again.

"Please investigate me (Lingmeng, save me)!"

Seeing that Tohka had no intention of letting him go, Shido had no choice but to plead for help from Lingmeng in a muffled voice.

In response, Lingmeng just said something rather heartless.

"I can't help you. Good luck."

"No way!?"

Shido let out another painful cry.

Because he stayed in the water for a long time and was unable to breathe, Shido naturally experienced pulmonary hypoxia.

Then, after struggling violently for a while in the narrow bathtub—

(Kotori, you actually tricked me!)

His consciousness began to fade, Shido cursed the culprit in his heart.

For some reason, at this moment, a Shido's mind—

Wearing sunglasses, Kotori flashed a fearless smile and said, "Because you're still just a kid," before raising her glass to enjoy her whiskey.

After thinking about all these things, Shido finally lost consciousness completely and floated lightly in the bathtub.

"Ah, he's dead."

Lingmeng pretended to be surprised, then muttered to herself.

After lifting the unconscious Shido out of the bathtub and covering some sensitive areas with a towel, Lingmeng opened the bathroom door and threw him out.

"Ah, Shido, you can rest outside by yourself for a bit. I'm going to take a bath with Tohka!"

She clapped her hands lightly, and after saying the second half of her sentence in an excited tone, Lingmeng turned and went back into the bathroom.

Only Shido, half-dead, remained on the spot.

"Why... why is this happening...!"

Lying on the ground in a reclining position, Shido spoke softly in a tone of utter despair.

Then Kotori, carrying Kotori of Chupa Chups milk tea, walked over.

"Okay, you fail."

Kotori's voice seemed to come from above, followed by Shido's voice playing from the radio... but Shido was powerless to stop it now.

----------------This is the dividing line for the transfer time

"Damn it... I got really messed up!"

Having regained consciousness Shido collapsed limply onto his bed.

It's already 11 p. m., time for good children to go to sleep.

After washing the dishes piled up by the sink, setting the rice cooker to cook tomorrow's rice, and finishing all the chores, Shido returned to his room.

Lingmeng, on the other hand, had already gone to the guest room long ago. It seems that being able to share a bed with Tohka is really exciting for him.

Although this time of day meant the night was just beginning for Shido, a healthy boy, he felt unusually tired today.

"Could I really have kidney deficiency?"

Shido muttered to himself.

For some reason, he actually believed this line that Lingmeng often used to tease him for a fleeting moment.

--It's already this late, even Kotori shouldn't be able to come up with any tricks by now, right?

With this thought in mind, Shido immediately drifted off to sleep.

This is the dividing line for the transfer time.

"Aha~"

My eyes felt the morning sun shining through the window, and I heard the clear, melodious chirping of birds.

Shido let out a soft groan and stretched gently on the bed.

"Hmm... Is it already dawn?"

Shido yawned, then blinked and rolled over.

Then--

"Huh...? What...?"

Shido frowned slightly, as if he felt something soft touch his cheek.

To see what it really looked like, Shido slowly reached his hand to his cheek and touched it.

"Um...!"

A cute voice came from above.

Upon hearing that incredibly familiar voice, Shido immediately opened his eyes. Sure enough, Tohka's beautiful face was right in front of him.

"Varied--"

Shido was about to shout, but he quickly stopped himself.

That was close! If I had called out directly, Tohka would definitely have woken up, right?

Shido covered his mouth, thinking to himself.

After carefully looking around, a thin brushed fabric came into view, and then it could be seen that the light fixture on the ceiling was different from the type in Shido's room.

Judging from the interior decoration, this appears to be a second-floor guest room that is not frequently visited.

(Ah, so this is a guest room? No wonder Tohka is here--Wait! Why am I here?! (ノ)

Shido screamed inwardly.

Just as Shido was about to leave while Tohka was still sleeping.

Before he could even move, something suddenly grabbed his back.

(What happened now?)

With this question in mind, Shido gently turned his head to the back.

What she found was a blonde beauty wearing blue plaid men's pajamas, hugging her in a sloth-like posture.

(I almost forgot that Lingmeng and Tohka were sharing a room.)

Looking at Lingmeng, who was asleep, Shido thought to himself.

At first, Shido tried to break free from Lingmeng's embrace and run away. However, after struggling for a while, he realized that he couldn't break free!

Shido gave a wry smile.

(That's a bit too tight, isn't it? I'm not a body pillow.)

Feeling the soft touch from behind and the girl's faint fragrance, Shido felt his cheeks flush.

Just then, Lingmeng's voice came from behind.

"Hehe, don't run away, I've got you!"

"!!!"
