As Takanashi Kou and the others endured the ultimate humiliation again and again, until they completely fainted, only then did Hikari order the four to disperse.
Then he snapped his fingers.
"Corpse Incineration Technique!"
After a burst of raging fire, all the noise and commotion returned to silence.
———
On the way, he bought a cup of cold drink. While drinking, Hikari returned to the Asou Apartment.
As soon as he opened the door, Hikari saw the two girls, Akane and Tachibana Yui, sitting on the sofa.
These good best friends didn't know what they had been talking about before, but at this moment, their little faces both seemed a bit flushed.
After saying a few words to Akane, Hikari didn't speak more and went straight toward the bathroom.
After all, just now, he had dealt with so many scumbags in one go, and even had the Four Legendary Gays give them a "one-stop service."
Although Hikari hadn't been injured at all from beginning to end, he had still broken a bit of a sweat.
It felt a bit unlucky.
So Hikari wanted to take a shower immediately.
———
Listening to the splashing sound of water from the bathroom, Akane and Tachibana Yui, sitting in the living room, were still whispering to each other.
Tachibana Yui's little face was flushed. While silently peeking through the bathroom door at the hazy figure inside, she asked Akane, "Akane, is Hikari-kun really… really as amazing as you said?"
Looking at Tachibana Yui's blushing face, Akane smiled with narrowed eyes, "Two hours ago, would you have believed Hikari-kun could take down so many people alone? I can only tell you, Hikari-kun is not only no worse than what I said, but even more amazing!"
Seeing Akane draw an exaggerated circle with her hands, Tachibana Yui still found it hard to believe, but she didn't dare keep asking and instead casually chatted about other things.
"Akane, does Hikari-kun live here alone?"
"Yes, Hikari-kun usually lives alone."
"I see. Isn't Hikari-kun afraid to live alone?"
"Of course not, there are often guests here."
"I see… Akane, you… you come often, right?"
"Of course, Hikari-kun is so amazing, no one could bear not to miss his amazingness!"
"?"
Hit directly by her best friend Akane's cheeky statement, Tachibana Yui fell into brief silence.
Akane had long since heard that Tachibana Yui had been hinting about Hikari.
Before Hikari came back, Tachibana Yui had already asked many questions about him.
The meaning hidden within, this best friend had seen through clearly. After all, as a fellow woman, how could she not understand the implied tone?
So, faced with Tachibana Yui's curiosity about her daily interactions with Hikari, Akane didn't avoid at all. She even told her in overly detailed fashion, making Tachibana Yui blush scarlet.
Seeing her best friend's little face so red, shy yet clearly moved, Akane was overjoyed.
With her teasing personality, she very much wanted to see this scene, so when she realized Tachibana Yui was already interested in Hikari, she decided to help them along.
Looking at Tachibana Yui now, blushing shyly, head lowered, occasionally glancing toward the bathroom, Akane suddenly said meaningfully, "I won't stop you. As your good sister, I support you, little Yui."
"If you like him, go for it. Don't wait until you've missed it to sit alone listening to the 'Clock Against the Direction.'"
Hearing Akane's words, Tachibana Yui lowered her head even more. Luckily, her chest was well-developed enough to let her hide more than half her face, but her fair, slightly pink ears still betrayed her.
Under Akane's gaze, Tachibana Yui finally gave the slightest nod.
———
"Phew!"
Reaching out to turn off the shower, Hikari dried his hair and let out a comfortable breath.
He had no idea what the two best friends outside were talking about. At this moment, Hikari only felt wonderfully refreshed after his shower.
If it were only Akane, he would definitely walk out of the bathroom without even a bathrobe.
After all, they had long since seen each other openly several times, talking about projects worth billions many times.
But since Tachibana Yui, Akane's best friend, was also there, Hikari still dried off and changed into clean clothes before opening the bathroom door.
"Hikari-kun~"
As soon as he opened the door, Hikari saw Akane rushing toward him, throwing herself into his arms.
"Akane-chan?", Seeing Akane enthusiastically rubbing her large, soft chest against him, Hikari raised his brows slightly.
"Hikari-kun, you smell so nice~", Akane leaned her head on his shoulder, her small nose twitching, her little face slightly intoxicated.
"Yui is still here," Hikari quietly reminded.
"It's fine. I've been missing you these past few days, Hikari-kun~", Akane clung to him, speaking in a spoiled tone.
"Yui is looking over," Hikari reminded again.
"Hikari-kun, I've been thinking about you all day, you know? When you just displayed your divine might and took down all those scum from the baseball club, I could hardly hold back~", Akane's eyes grew seductive as she lightly bit his neck, leaving faint tooth marks.
"You're playing with fire…", Seeing her getting more excessive, even gr*ping him, Hikari was close to losing control.
"Yes, I'm the moth that wants to burn itself~", Ignoring his warning, Akane provocatively intensified her actions.
Then she pulled his hand, quickly heading toward the bedroom, and Hikari didn't refuse.
Before entering, Akane turned to Tachibana Yui on the sofa, pretending to watch TV, "Yui-chan, I'm going to have Hikari-kun help me with some lessons. You watch TV, okay~"
"Okay," Tachibana Yui replied softly, ears red.
Hikari didn't think much of it.
Because Akane had already pulled him inside, closed the door, taken out textbooks, and asked for tutoring.
Moved by her diligence, Hikari didn't hold back and poured out all the knowledge from the books to her.
———
About half an hour later, Akane, eyes rolling like a dead fish, lay sprawled in a "big" shape on the chair, muttering, "No more… I can't… Hikari-kun, I can't study anymore."
A bit speechless, he said, "Akane-chan, why so fast today? That won't do. Learning is like rowing upstream, if you don't advance, you retreat."
Akane gave him a white-eyed pout, "It's because you're too amazing. How could I finish so much knowledge alone? I can't even memorize it all!"
Before, with Natsuha and Yukino helping, it was okay, but today they weren't here, so she couldn't keep up.
Seeing her exhausted look, Hikari sighed, "Alright, you did well. Rest."
Feeling a bit guilty, Akane gulped water for three or four minutes, then, belly slightly swollen, stood up, "Sorry, Hikari-kun, I'll try harder next time. I'm going to the bathroom~"
"Alright."
She left the bedroom.
Watching her go, thinking about her lack of seriousness, Hikari took out a Nutritional Express and sipped it.
Even though he hadn't used much effort, after tutoring, drinking a bit was already a habit.
Just after putting it down, the door opened again, Akane returned, smiling brightly.
Seeing her blushing, beautiful face, Hikari asked with a smile, "What is it, Akane-chan? Ready for more lessons?"
She shook her head, "Nope, I really can't study anymore today."
Hikari looked disappointed.
But then she added, "Well, I can't, but I can't bear to see you uncomfortable, so even if I can't, I must~"
Just as Hikari smiled and was about to embrace her, she continued:
"It's not me, Hikari-kun. I just… found you a wingman~", As she stepped aside, she revealed a shy, snow-white figure behind her.
"Yui?"
It was her best friend, Tachibana Yui, hair wet, cheeks crimson, wearing only a damp bathrobe, fresh from a shower.
Her youthful figure, pure face, and shy demeanor were captivating.
Tachibana Yui stood frozen, clutching her robe, head down.
Noticing Hikari's calm gaze and Yui's nervous stillness, Akane smiled, pulled her into the room, closed the door, then pushed her forward: "Yui-chan, go!"
"Ah!"
She fell forward, straight into Hikari's arms.
"Hik… Hikari-kun…"
Held firmly, face red to the ears, Tachibana Yui lay quietly in his embrace.
Feeling her softness and fragrance, Hikari's heart stirred.
Seeing her docile stillness, and Akane's knowing, excited look, he understood what they'd been plotting earlier.
"Yui-chan, have you decided?", he asked softly.
"Mmm…", came a mosquito-like reply.
Seeing her flushed, trembling, yet unresisting, Hikari no longer hesitated, he lowered his head toward her lips.
Akane trembled with excitement and stepped toward them.
———
The next morning.
Feeling the light through the curtains, Hikari opened his eyes.
He planned to get up, but didn't move, because both his hands were pressed under soft bodies. Akane on the left, and her best friend Tachibana Yui on the right.
