In a coffee shop in the 20th ward, the environment is elegant and quiet, filled with a leisurely atmosphere, as if even time has become lazy. The warm midday sunlight streams through the window glass, adding a touch of brilliance to the tranquil coffee shop.
Inside the coffee shop, two girls embrace each other. They seem very close—Takatsuki Sen, with light green hair, smiles as her light green eyes curve into crescent moons. Opposite her, a silver-haired girl looks less pleased, her expression impatient.
"Are you done yet?"
"Not yet."
"It's been so long, can't you do it yet?"
"I haven't found the feeling yet."
"How long will it take for you to feel it?"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine soon. Leave it to me, I won't hurt you much."
"How can this not hurt? Are you fooling a child?"
"Only children wouldn't do such things. Relax, I'll be gentle."
"What does this have to do with being gentle? Wait, why do your words always have such ambiguity?"
Looking at the beautiful face so close, with eyes as clear as water, and even feeling the warm breath from her pink lips, Kaguya said helplessly, "Are you ready or not? If you don't bite, I'm leaving."
The scene looks complicated now, but it's actually quite simple. Because Kaguya couldn't provide the agreed blood, the enthusiastic and generous girl offered to help, but Kaguya was still hesitant, leading to this awkward situation.
"Almost done," Takatsuki Sen said with a smile, "I just need a little more time."
But no matter how you look at it, it still seems ambiguous.
Takatsuki Sen leaned closer, her lips almost touching Kaguya's neck, occasionally drawing circles on it, like licking ice cream, making Kaguya feel ticklish.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Huh?
Who said what she wanted to say? She hadn't even opened her mouth yet.
Just as Kaguya was feeling puzzled, she sensed something, a chill down her spine. Turning around, she saw Touka Kirishima standing at the staircase, eyes wide open, looking at them with a shocked expression, her face growing darker.
"You're setting me up!"
Kaguya was both shocked and angry, while Takatsuki Sen didn't seem to care, pressing her full chest against Kaguya's, glancing at the volcano-like Touka Kirishima, and teasingly said, "Is she your old lover?"
"Nonsense!"
Yet, the sensation was undeniable—the unexpected softness, the intoxicating elasticity, and the way Takatsuki Sen's curves molded against her own felt amazing.
However, Kaguya wasn't in the mood for this. Seeing Touka Kirishima's increasingly red cheeks, she knew things were going wrong.
"Stop it!"
Kaguya quickly pushed, accidentally pushing against Takatsuki Sen's chest.
Touka Kirishima's face turned even darker.
Takatsuki Sen smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so bold."
Kaguya finally realized this girl was here to mess with her. She quickly turned her head, forcing a smile, "Let me explain, you might not believe it, but she started it."
"Do you think I'm a fool, you bastard?" Touka Kirishima, burning with anger, stepped towards Kaguya, her voice squeezed through her teeth, "Go to hell!"
Snap!
...
As the day turned to dusk, the sun slowly sank below the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun quietly faded away, with the evening gradually enveloping the earth.
When Kaguya walked out of the Anteiku cafe, the streets were bustling, and the neon lights of the bustling city lit up.
Touka Kirishima seemed really angry, locking herself in her room, ignoring Kaguya's knocking and explanations, leaving Kaguya feeling helpless.
As for Takatsuki Sen, she had already left, leaving Kaguya to deal with the aftermath alone.
"Sigh." Kaguya sighed, knowing it would be difficult to deal with this little vinegar jar in the future.
After all, seeing your boyfriend in bed with another woman the day after, no girl could accept that.
But what was Takatsuki Sen thinking, doing such a thing?
Just as Kaguya was puzzled, a familiar figure appeared ahead.
"Sister Irimi," Kaguya was slightly surprised.
Standing under the streetlight not far away was the familiar figure of Irimi Kaya.
"What's wrong," Irimi walked over, gently saying, "Hasn't Touka forgiven you yet?"
"How do you know?" Kaguya was startled.
"I'm not deaf, the commotion was so big, of course I heard it." Irimi smiled.
"Sister Irimi, you have to believe me," Kaguya said helplessly.
"Who told you to flirt around all day," Irimi tapped Kaguya's forehead with her fair finger.
"I'm innocent," Kaguya protested, feeling wronged. If it was about her and Akira Mado, she couldn't deny it, but with Takatsuki Sen, there was nothing.
Not catching any fish but getting into trouble, it was really frustrating.
"Really?" Irimi blinked her amber eyes, smiling.
Seeing Irimi's expression, Kaguya felt uneasy. Did Sister Irimi know about Akira Mado?
Although Kaguya felt uneasy, she couldn't admit it, firmly saying, "Of course it's true."
Irimi's lips curled, "Then what about those twin girls at your house?"
When the anxious Kaguya heard that Irimi was talking about the twin girls, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately became confident, even straightening her back.
"You might have misunderstood, Sister Irimi. They are just staying at my house temporarily," Kaguya said firmly. "I have absolutely no relationship with those two girls."
Although those twin girls were charming and attractive, and indeed tempting, the fact was that Kaguya had never made a move on them, nor had any ambiguous relationship with them, so naturally, she wasn't worried about such things.
"Is that really so?" Irimi leaned over, looked deeply into Kaguya's eyes, and suddenly laughed, saying, "Even if there's nothing, the way you're hastily explaining makes it seem like there is something."
"There really isn't," Kaguya said helplessly. "Even if I were to look for someone, it would have to be someone gentle and virtuous like Sister Irimi."
"Oh, you're getting more and more cheeky," Irimi said with a laugh, tapping Kaguya's forehead with her finger. "You even dare to tease me."
"It's true, I'm not lying, as long as Sister Irimi is willing," Kaguya said. "I will definitely—"
Before Kaguya could finish her sentence, Irimi pinched her cheek, interrupting her words and making them unclear.
"Alright, I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense," Irimi said, pretending to be angry.
Kaguya was slightly taken aback, looked up, and asked, "Then what is it?"
Irimi turned her head, glanced at the coffee shop in the quiet district under the dim lights, and sighed softly, "I never noticed, but when I came to my senses, I had already been here for so many years. It's quite incredible when you think about it. I was just a wandering soul on the fringes of society, rejected by humans, and now I have a little nest to call home."
Kaguya listened quietly, not interrupting, her mood fluctuating with Irimi's gentle words.
"I thought I might live like this for the rest of my life," Irimi said softly, "until I was discovered by CCG, and I suddenly realized that this was just a beautiful fantasy. Like a dream, no matter how beautiful, there comes a time to wake up. I fell into despair again, having given up all hope, until I met you."
Irimi turned her head, reached out, gently caressed Kaguya's cheek, and smiled slightly.
"Oh dear, oh dear, why am I getting sentimental too," Irimi said, turning around and poking Kaguya's chest with her finger, smiling. "It's all your fault. I almost forgot what I wanted to say."
Kaguya was slightly taken aback and asked, "What is it?"
"Actually, Touka has been watching everything you've been doing at the coffee shop in the quiet district," Irimi said gently.
"She's been watching all along?" Kaguya was stunned for a moment, then realized, eyes widening, "You mean, Touka knows everything?"
"Of course, she noticed you as soon as you entered the coffee shop," Irimi said with a smile.
"If she knows, then why—" Kaguya was a bit puzzled.
"You're wondering why she got mad at you, right?" Irimi said with a smile. "It's actually quite simple. Seeing you so close with that unfamiliar girl, Touka naturally got jealous."
Kaguya's head was filled with black lines. Touka was indeed a little jealous.
"From my many years of understanding Touka, with her personality, she's probably already regretting it," Irimi said with a smile. "So, you can't give up just because of a little setback."
"How could that be possible," Kaguya said with some frustration. "But she won't even open the door for me now."
"If she won't open it, can't you just barge in?" Irimi tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "Sometimes you have to be a bit forceful with girls. Actually, Touka is just embarrassed and feels awkward. You understand what I'm saying, right?"
"I see, Touka is indeed a tsundere," Kaguya said, pinching her chin and nodding in agreement.
"I don't know why," Irimi suddenly leaned over, her beautiful amber eyes staring closely at Kaguya, and said, "I always feel like you're not a girl, but rather a boy."
"Uh," Kaguya was startled and said with a dry laugh, "Sister Irimi, you're joking too much. How could that be possible? I've never been to Thailand."
"Is that so?" Irimi said with a smile. "If I hadn't already confirmed your identity, I would have thought you were someone in disguise. Alright, I won't say anything else. If I'm not mistaken, Touka is still upset now."
"Thank you," Kaguya walked over, reached out, held Irimi's hand, and said softly, "Sister Irimi."
Irimi was stunned, staring blankly at Kaguya for a moment before withdrawing her gaze, smiling, and knocking her hand away, saying with a smile, "What, you even dare to take advantage of Sister Irimi? Alright, go quickly."
"Mm."
Kaguya nodded gently, turned around, and hurried away.
Watching Kaguya's figure gradually disappear into the dim night, Irimi's amber eyes were momentarily lost, and she stood silently in the neon lights for a while before coming back to her senses. She whispered in a barely audible voice, "If it were me, it would be nice, but unfortunately—"
As soon as she finished speaking, Irimi took one last glance, turned around, and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
As Irimi had predicted, when Kaguya returned to the coffee shop in the quiet district and went up to the room where Touka Kirishima was, she was about to knock on the door but found it wasn't locked and was slightly ajar. Kaguya gently turned the handle, and the door opened in response.
Kaguya's lips curled into a meaningful smile, looking a bit mischievous, as she quietly pushed the door open and walked in.
"What are you doing here? Who let you in? Get out!"
"Didn't you hear me? I don't want to see you. Get out, you idiot!"
Under Kaguya's strong offensive, Touka Kirishima resisted a little but was soon overwhelmed, her defenses crumbling, and she let out a soft, melodious moan, like the sound of a flute, as the cool moonlight poured down, casting a faint blush on their creamy skin.
