Chapter 72

When Lingmeng spoke, Shido immediately assumed she had woken up, so he widened his eyes.

But in the next second, all those worries vanished.

"Shiori-chan! Come here and let's kiss!"

Lingmeng rubbed her face against Shido's back, revealing a perverted smile.

"Shiori-chan? You scared me to death! It was all a dream?"

Realizing that Lingmeng was talking in her sleep, Shido breathed a sigh of relief.

But things are far from over.

"Hehehe... Shiori, shall we play a game?"

What games are you going to play?

Even though he knew Lingmeng was still talking in her sleep, Shido still tilted his head in confusion.

Then--

Without saying a word, Lingmeng reached her slender hands inside Shido's clothes and began to move them up and down.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?"

She noticed that Lingmeng's hands seemed to be stroking her skin back and forth, and were moving lower and lower, almost reaching her private parts.

Shido flushed red instantly, and he finally couldn't hold back and shouted out loud.

"Zhongsheng: 'The new book has finally reached two hundred favorites! Thank you to all the readers who added it to their favorites!'"

Chapter Seventeen: I'm clearly the head of the family!

"Ugh... What's wrong?"

"What's all the noise about? I was having a wonderful dream and it's been ruined. I was hoping to spend more time with Shiori."

Startled by Shido's human alarm clock, Tohka and Lingmeng both opened their eyes.

"Oh no, we're doomed!"

Shido spoke with a tearful expression.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Lingmeng propped herself up and stretched.

"Ha~ Good morning Tohka."

"Hmm... Good morning, Lingmeng..."

Turning her head towards Tohka, Lingmeng realized that there was someone else between her and Tohka.

Lingmeng was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered.

"Shido, what are you doing here? Could it be that you—"

"It's not what you think! I don't know why I'm here all of a sudden!"

Seeing Lingmeng looking at him with disdain, Shido immediately explained.

"Oh, is that so? Then it's probably Kotori someone call Ratatoskr to carry you over while you were sleeping, right?"

Without any change in emotion, Lingmeng calmly stated her guess.

After all, even if Shido had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to run into a girl's room alone in the middle of the night.

Hearing Lingmeng's words, Shido's face darkened.

I didn't expect to be so careless. I thought Kotori wouldn't be able to do anything at night, but I underestimated Kotori abilities.

"Huh? Shido! What are you doing here!"

Having fully regained consciousness, Tohka looked at Shido, who had appeared out of nowhere beside her, with a surprised expression.

"Ah... this..."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Shido's forehead. Caught off guard by the question, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The situation became awkward for a moment.

Fortunately, Lingmeng spoke up and broke the deadlock.

"Ah, actually Shido came to wake us up. But he still seemed really sleepy, so we let him sleep in our bed for a while."

What kind of bizarre reason is that?

Shido's lips twitched slightly. Although he was happy that Lingmeng rarely spoke up for him, only an idiot would believe such a nonsensical reason, right?

But just when Shido was thinking this--

"Oh, I see. Honestly, Shido, you could have just said so earlier."

Tohka nodded in agreement, showing no sign of doubt.

"..."

Shido's feelings were very complicated.

If the person you're talking to is Tohka, then it seems like you could actually get away with it, right?

Seemingly aware of what Shido was thinking, Lingmeng simply smiled with her eyes half-closed.

It was as if they were saying, "Leave it to me, you can't go wrong."

Then, just at that moment, as if it were timed perfectly, Kotori opened the door.

"Oh dear~ If Lingmeng hadn't spoken up for you, Shido, you'd probably be making a complete fool of yourself by now. So, you're out again, Shido."

With her arms crossed over her chest, Kotori spoke with a disdainful air.

Shido seemed to have grasped the key word and immediately pressed for an answer.

"You just said 'out of the game,' right!? So you were the one who made me come here!?"

Shido became agitated and shouted out loud.

Kotori simply shrugged indifferently, a fearless smile on her face.

"Huh? What are you saying? Shido just couldn't suppress his rising sexual urges during puberty, so he crawled into the high school girl's bed. Please don't falsely accuse others."

Well, that's what I say, but it's true that Kotori arranged all of these things.

"Varied--"

Although he wanted to say something in rebuttal, Shido vocabulary wasn't very extensive, couldn't think of anything to say.

(I can't believe that a high school student like me would lose an argument to Kotori, a Middle School Student. It's so humiliating...)

Shido covered his forehead, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

Then Lingmeng's words dragged him back into hell—

"Kotori, Shido is already out. What will the punishment be?"

As she spoke, Lingmeng revealed a cunning smile.

"Lingmeng, you--"

Shido's eyes widened. So, Lingmeng's help to him was just a wolf in sheep's clothing—she had ulterior motives?

As if in response to Lingmeng's question, Kotori said in surprise, "I almost forgot," and then took a cell phone out of her pocket.

And for some reason, it was Shido's phone.

"You bastard... isn't this my phone!? What do you want to do!?"

"Huh? Ahh."

Kotori raised the corners of her mouth and turned the phone screen towards Shido.

That was the text message editing screen. The recipient field displayed the name of Shido's "best friend"—Hiroto Tonomachi.

After carefully examining the screen on his phone, Shido instantly held his breath.

Because the content of that text message was--

"Shocking broadcast content. You absolutely must listen! It's incredibly impactful and will change your perspective on life!"

Following this content is a website address.

"Wow~ That sounds amazing! Kotori, will you send it to me later?"

Lingmeng looked extremely interested.

Kotori chuckled and took out the Chupa Chups drink she had mentioned.

"No need for all that trouble, because these things have already started broadcasting online. Just open this website, and anyone can listen to Shido's masterpiece anytime, anywhere."

"Is that so? That's really convenient."

Lingmeng casually shrugged.

"What!"

Shido opened his eyes wide in fear and reached out to snatch the phone back.

"No~ no~!" (voice slowed down tenfold)

"Hey!"

But before Shido could finish speaking, Kotori had already pressed the teleportation button.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh..."

While yelling loudly, Shido snatched the phone back and frantically pressed the cancel button.

But all of this was in vain, because the tools of modern civilization had already transmitted this Destruction information to Shido's friends at top speed.

"It's over... My life is over..."

He slumped to the ground, Shido looking utterly dejected.

Lingmeng simply patted Shido on the shoulder to comfort him.

"It's okay, Shido. You have to believe that Tonamachi isn't the kind of person who talks nonsense."

Shut up, you accomplice!

Seeing that Lingmeng showed absolutely no remorse, Shido, this tough man, couldn't help but shed a tear from the corner of his eye.

Kotori covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Pfft--You're crying over something so small? Shido, you're so cute. Want to come and whine in my arms?"

"Shut up! It's not like what you two are doing is a scandalous history, of course you don't care!"

In that instant, Shido suddenly felt that his status in this family was particularly insignificant.

He's the head of the household when his parents aren't home! Why is that?!

And so Shido uttered the most poignant cry of his sixteen years of life in his heart.

Chapter 18 Maid Fetish and Nurse Fetish

"Hey~ Itsuka, you look terrible, what's wrong?"

Shido dragged his heavy steps into the classroom that morning, he had just sat down in his seat when he heard Tonamachi speak to him in a surprised tone.

Lingmeng, sitting behind Shido, replied with a smile.

"He underwent a transformation from boy to man."

"!!?"

Upon hearing Lingmeng's explanation, Shido and Tonamachi both widened their eyes.

Pointing at Shido with an incredulous expression, Tonamachi's gaze kept shifting back and forth between Shido and Lingmeng.

"Could it be that the two of you—"

"It's not what you think!"
