"Who, who allowed you to do that? So gross, my chopsticks are covered with your saliva now!"
Although she was happy, on the surface Eriri still had to put on an act, showing a disgusted and annoyed expression, not letting Hoshino Miru see her true feelings.
After all, girls need to be reserved!
Eriri withdrew her chopsticks, feeling quite pleased inside. The fact that he dared to do this meant he didn't reject having an indirect kiss with her. Ehehe.
"Didn't you tell me to eat the shrimp?" Hoshino Miru's expression was half-smiling.
"I didn't tell you to eat it like that. Did you want me to personally feed it to you?" Eriri huffed a few times. "To get a beautiful girl like me to do that, you should at least show some appreciation, right?"
"How about I feed you a piece as appreciation?" As he spoke, Hoshino Miru picked up a piece of meat, looking at Eriri expectantly.
Eriri suddenly became a bit angry. She had been conflicted and hesitant for so long earlier, so why didn't Hoshino Miru show even a hint of hesitation?
Was she the only one who cared about indirect kisses?
Girls' moods were like this. Eriri had already forgotten her earlier happiness and snorted coldly at Hoshino Miru, flipping her twin tails to one side.
"Are you disgusted by my saliva?" Hoshino Miru asked.
"Good that you know. We're not kids anymore. Who wants to eat your saliva? So gross." Eriri decided to strike back maliciously, at least to make him show some hesitation and difficulty.
Hoshino Miru was silent for a while, then pressed Eriri's chin.
"Ah-wu..." Before Eriri could react, her mouth was stuffed full with Hoshino Miru's piece of meat. She could only make muffled sounds and barely swallow it down.
"This way, we're both even. Neither of us should be disgusted with the other." Hoshino Miru smiled slightly and withdrew his chopsticks.
"Idiot!" Eriri ate his meat angrily, as if trying to hide her emotions, doing her best not to look at his chopsticks.
This guy was just an idiot. She cared so much about it, yet he didn't have a single thought about it!
Seeing the girl's puffed-up appearance, Hoshino Miru found it quite interesting, reminding him of how Yukinoshita Yukino had looked earlier.
Honestly, he hadn't used [Sensitivity] on Eriri yet. Should he try it now?
It was normal for Hoshino Miru to suddenly have this thought, because Eriri's intimacy hadn't increased in a long time. Maybe trying a different approach would have some effect.
So Hoshino Miru cautiously increased Eriri's sensitivity to twice normal.
Eriri's body suddenly trembled, as if feeling something moving across her body. A faint pink blush appeared on her originally fair cheeks, and she unconsciously pressed her legs together.
Hoshino Miru moved closer to her side. This action immediately intensified the girl's reaction. Her breathing became rapid, and even her beautiful neck showed a patch of crimson.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Hoshino Miru asked knowingly. He planned to do something bad to Eriri to see if her intimacy would change.
However, when he asked this, Eriri's face became even redder, stammering and not daring to speak.
As her sensitivity gradually increased, the girl's legs unconsciously rubbed together, her small budding chest rising and falling, and a sweet, cloying scent appeared around the girl.
Just as Hoshino Miru was about to continue, the girl seemed to finally reach her limit.
"I, I, I need to go to the bathroom!" Eriri suddenly stood up and hurriedly ran down from the rooftop.
Hoshino Miru was stunned for a moment, watching the girl's fleeing figure.
He had just started adjusting her. Logically, Eriri's reaction shouldn't have been so intense. Could her body be too sensitive to handle it?
After a while, when Eriri returned looking completely relaxed, Hoshino Miru instantly showed a strange expression.
[Target: Sawamura Spencer Eriri] [Intimacy: 79] [Status: After a hard battle in the bathroom, currently in forced composure mode...]
Hoshino Miru wanted to say something but stopped. He really hadn't expected Eriri to be so easily aroused, and even less expected that she would directly run to the bathroom to solve her private problem.
But wait, this childhood friend's battle time was less than ten minutes?
Was his childhood friend this weak?
"Why, why do you keep looking at me like that?" Eriri was extremely guilty now. Noticing Hoshino Miru's gaze, her face was covered with burning blush.
She didn't know what had happened to her earlier. Just thinking about Hoshino Miru being beside her made her body feel particularly strange, and she couldn't help but want to do something she often did normally.
In that situation, Eriri could only temporarily go to the bathroom to solve the problem and force herself to calm down.
"Nothing. If we don't eat soon, lunch break will be over." Hoshino Miru looked away. He felt there was no need to continue using skills on Eriri.
Because Eriri's intimacy hadn't changed.
Well, it certainly wasn't because this childhood friend was too weak.
...
After school in the afternoon, Hoshino Miru waved goodbye to Eriri.
Eriri was the ace of the art club and sometimes had to stay for club activities, so she wouldn't go home with Hoshino Miru.
However, Hoshino Miru also wasn't in a rush to go home today because he had received a message from Toyokawa Sakiko.
Yesterday they hadn't just introduced themselves - they had also exchanged contact information.
Following the location Toyokawa Sakiko provided, Hoshino Miru came to a coffee shop.
"Sorry, did I keep you waiting long?" Hoshino Miru sat across from Toyokawa Sakiko, his expression showing some apology.
"It's fine. I also just arrived not long ago." Toyokawa Sakiko shook her head. Her expression looked very tired.
Hoshino Miru looked the girl up and down. Yesterday had only been a hurried meeting, but now he had enough time to observe her appearance.
Despite it being dismissal time, the girl wasn't wearing a school uniform but rather simple, wrinkled casual clothes - a long-sleeved shirt and skirt combination that didn't show much of the curves a girl should have. Only her cinched waist highlighted her slender figure, giving her a somewhat dignified and elegant air.
Even sitting in her seat, the girl's posture was very proper, with her legs pressed together. Under her skirt hem, only a small section of fair, delicate calves was visible. Her black shoes wrapped two feet in white socks, easily bringing to mind yesterday's soaked image.
The girl's body should be well-developed - not exactly innocent, but not fully mature either. But more than that, the girl looked very tired now.
Hoshino Miru noticed her dark circles. Either she had cried herself sleepless after going home, or she was under too much pressure and had no time to rest at all.
Plus, she was wearing casual clothes now, indicating she very likely hadn't even gone to school today.
According to the system's status description, the girl had encountered family troubles that forced her to quit her band, which explained this exhausted expression.
Hoshino Miru fell into thought. What should he do for this girl?
