Bad!

Watching Mizuki sniffle and cry, Baicang felt utterly drained. She had been attacking him the whole time, so how had he ended up being the bully?

"Senpai... let me go~" Mizuki squirmed beneath Baicang, her face flushed.

Baicang held her hands tightly, his full weight pressing down on her, making her feel uncomfortable and a little strange.

When Mizuki spoke, her alcohol-laced breath washed over Baicang's face with an intoxicating fragrance.

Only then did he realize how close he was to Mizuki.

Mizuki had been wearing that same thin, tight sports outfit all along. Her years of training had given her just the right amount of muscle, and even through her clothes, Baicang could feel her astonishing suppleness and softness.

Because she was drunk, her entire body burned hot. That warmth spread through every point where their bodies touched, constantly teasing Baicang's sensitive nerves.

Worst of all, Mizuki tightened the long legs wrapped around his waist.

"Y-you... stop moving!" Baicang could barely get his words out.

This is a crime, Captain Mizuki! If Runo weren't right there, I'd definitely teach you a lesson.

Forcing the restless "devil" back under control, Baicang slowly released Mizuki's hands. "Lie still and behave, okay?"

"Mm-hmm~ You're the best, Senpai~" Mizuki smiled through her tears and nodded at him repeatedly.

Only after Mizuki stopped shouting and making a drunken scene did Baicang slowly get up. He turned toward the dining table and discovered that Runo had slumped over, too.

Sachiko, who was beside Runo, shook her head at him. "She's fine. She just sneaked some alcohol from your glass and got drunk."

"None of them can hold their liquor, but they insist on drinking anyway. Then they cause all this trouble. They really never give me a moment's peace."

Baicang sighed helplessly and took advantage of Runo's drunken slumber to pinch her little pink nose.

"Miss Sachiko, do you have any spare rooms? Those two don't look like they can make it home, and with Runo this drunk, I can't really take her back either."

Baicang withdrew his mischievous hand and glanced at Tanktop Girl, who was sleeping like a log, and Mizuki, who was crawling toward her while shouting, "I'm coming to save you!"

"Miss Mizuki and her friend can sleep in Harano's room. Runo can sleep with me."

"Um... Mr. Baicang, you could..." Sachiko was interrupted before she could finish.

"I'll sleep in the living room. Just give me a blanket."

Baicang didn't want to leave Runo here alone, so he decided not to go home either and to spend the night at Sachiko's place.

"All right..." Sachiko looked disappointed.

Seeing her try to help Tanktop Girl up, Baicang hurried over and took over. "Let me. They can't walk like this. It'll be easier if I carry them."

"That's true. I'll show you the way, then."

Baicang lifted Tanktop Girl's legs and gathered her securely into his arms.

The swell beneath Tanktop Girl's little tank top was smaller than Mizuki's, but still above average. Her abdomen wasn't as visibly defined as Mizuki's, either, showing only a little belly without an ounce of excess fat, while her tight jeans perfectly outlined the curves of her lower body.

She felt light and soft in his arms, resting quietly against him like a kitten.

But her whole body was hot, just like Mizuki's, and from time to time, her face rubbed against Baicang's shoulder, leaving him feeling ticklish.

"Here we are. This is the room."

Sachiko led Baicang to a room on the second floor, stopped, and slid the door open. She went inside and began taking bedding out of a compartment. After setting Tanktop Girl down, Baicang went downstairs to find Mizuki.

When Baicang came down, he saw that Mizuki was already standing and playing with the sleeping Runo's little face. For some reason, she had removed the hair tie from her side ponytail. Her smooth blonde hair spilled over her shoulders, giving her a beauty different from her usual look.

"Senpai, look, she's so smooth and soft~ Hehe."

Mizuki wasn't flustered at all when she saw Baicang. Instead, she kept laughing and chatting, clearly very drunk. Runo, meanwhile, looked as though she were having a bad dream, her brows drawn tightly together. "Big brother, bad!"

I'm getting blamed for this, too?

Baicang had lost track of how many times he had sighed. He swatted away Mizuki's misbehaving hand and prepared to lead her upstairs to bed.

"No~ I saw you carry Tanktop Girl, Senpai! I want you to carry me, too!"

Mizuki pulled away from Baicang's outstretched hand and shook her head repeatedly, glaring at him with puffed cheeks. The "fierce" expression on her alcohol-pinked face made her look especially cute.

"Fine, fine. I'll carry you!"

Seeing that Mizuki intended to fight him to the bitter end, Baicang could only give in.

Mizuki immediately ran up to Baicang with a grin, rose onto her tiptoes, and spread her arms toward him.

Noticing that all her head-shaking had left her blonde hair a tangled mess, like an oversized feather duster, Baicang couldn't help laughing. He brushed aside a few strands hanging in front of her eyes.

Suddenly, he noticed the eager, intense emotion shining in Mizuki's pale blue eyes as she looked at him.

For a moment, he froze.

Seeing her senpai staring blankly at her instead of picking her up, Mizuki grew a little annoyed. She jumped straight up, clamped her legs around Baicang's waist again, and crossed her hands behind his neck, hanging from his body.

"Y-you! What are you doing!"

Baicang finally snapped out of it and hurried to pull Mizuki off.

If Sachiko saw them in this strange position, she could easily get the wrong idea.

"No~ No~ I want to hug you like this, Senpai! I'm not getting down!"

Mizuki threw a childish tantrum, clinging tightly to Baicang's neck. No matter how he tugged at her, she refused to get down, so he had to pull a little harder.

"Ah~ That hurts! Senpai~"

Mizuki suddenly cried out beside Baicang's ear, and her hot breath nearly made his knees buckle.

Please, stop saying things like that!

Baicang had no choice but to keep that position and "carry" Mizuki upstairs.

Fortunately, Mizuki clung tightly enough that she didn't sway as he climbed the stairs. But that also made Baicang feel the enormous "pressure" against his chest, leaving his steps a little unsteady.

It was a close call, but he made it.

At last, he got Mizuki, that oversized "sloth," into the room. When Sachiko saw their position, a flicker of embarrassment crossed her face. She said nothing and turned to continue arranging the bedding.

Smack! Sachiko's hands trembled over the bedding.

"We're here. Get down already." Baicang gave Mizuki's bottom a hard smack. This little temptress was driving him mad.

He had actually forgotten that Sachiko was still right there.

Thankfully, Mizuki obediently got down and smiled sweetly at Baicang. "You're the best, Senpai~"

Baicang chalked up both what had just happened and Mizuki's words to drunken nonsense and thought no more of them.

"Everything's ready. You can rest now, Miss Mizuki."

"Thank you, big sister~"

Sachiko smiled faintly, finding the drunken Mizuki very cute. Baicang also turned to go downstairs and check on Runo, but Mizuki suddenly called him back.

"What... mm!"

The instant Baicang turned around, Mizuki suddenly pressed close, planting her lips on his.

"This is your reward, Senpai~"
