Mikazuki Fuka blushed a bit. She just wanted to ask what to do—forcing herself on him was way too direct.
「Pure Little Kitten: Isn't that not very good?」
「Karin: What's not good about it? This method is direct and effective.」
「Pure Little Kitten: T-too direct.」
「Karin: Strange, what are you being shy about? Didn't you two have a great time yesterday?」
「Pure Little Kitten: It was great, but he just kissed me once. We didn't have time to do anything else.」
Mikazuki Fuka was too embarrassed to say that when Hoshino Miru kissed her, she was completely dazed and didn't have time to savor any feelings.
If she had to say, actually down below felt more intense.
「Water Magic User: Wait, you just did it, and the next day he's with another girl?」
「Pure Little Kitten: Wuwu, we haven't done it yet, and that girl is his childhood friend.」
「Karin: Childhood friend?」
「Karin: Even more reason to force yourself on him—best to do it viciously right in front of the childhood friend!」
「Super Beautiful Girl: Yes yes yes, I want to see Little Kitten completely destroy the childhood friend!」
「Pure Little Kitten: But I don't know if he really likes me.」
「Karin: You still haven't confirmed the relationship yesterday?」
「Pure Little Kitten: I don't know. When he kissed me, I was completely dazed.」
「Karin: He didn't even say he likes you?」
「Pure Little Kitten: Seems like not. He said that was also his first kiss, and next time I dare do this again, he'll punish me severely.」
「Karin: ...」
「Super Beautiful Girl: Something's wrong. Explain clearly what happened.」
So Mikazuki Fuka completely retold yesterday's experience to them.
「Karin: Oh no, the opponent's level isn't on the same tier as Little Kitten.」
「Water Magic User: Sad news—Little Kitten is going to be eaten clean.」
「Super Beautiful Girl: He deliberately kissed you. After you were dazed, all the initiative was in his hands. Your attention was completely diverted by him afterward.」
「Karin: Not just the kiss—he had Little Kitten figured out from the moment he exposed this trick. Saying it was his first kiss—who knows how many girls he's actually kissed.」
「Pure Little Kitten: He's not that bad!」
「Super Beautiful Girl: Hard to say. Think about it—besides saying it was his first kiss, did he even say he likes you? You two didn't confirm the relationship at all.」
Mikazuki Fuka was speechless for a moment, because this was the truth. Only now did she realize they hadn't confirmed the relationship at all.
Even if Hoshino Miru was with Eriri, she didn't have the status of girlfriend to be jealous.
「Karin: However, Little Kitten, don't be sad.」
「Karin: Test him today. If he's a scumbag who plays with women, cut it off completely. You two haven't reached the final step anyway.」
「Pure Little Kitten: What if he's not?」
「Karin: If he's not a scumbag, then force yourself on him and drain him dry. He won't dare next time.」
「Do You Want Ice Cream Today: Such a rough method, but I really like it. To deal with this kind of guy who can't read the situation, you should lock him in the basement and force yourself on him hard!」
Mikazuki Fuka didn't know how they connected to basements and forcing themselves on him. Every time she thought they'd become especially reliable, they'd chat and suddenly explode with all kinds of strange statements.
The girl bit her lips lightly. If Hoshino Miru really was a scumbag playing with girls...
She might disappoint her group friends, because she wouldn't give up on Hoshino Miru. It would be impossible to end this relationship.
At that time, she would personally correct Hoshino Miru, even if it required using a basement.
...
Before noon, Mikazuki Fuka deliberately waited a while. Seeing Hoshino Miru appear in the corridor, she took a deep breath, wanting to proactively greet him.
"Good morning, Fuka."
As soon as the words fell, Mikazuki Fuka's pretty face slowly flushed completely red. Forget proactively greeting him—she was already almost steaming.
Hoshino Miru just called out the girl's name like that. She wasn't prepared at all. Moreover, it was so natural, even with his lips slightly curving up, carrying a hint of delighted smile, as if he was especially happy to run into her.
Fortunately, Mikazuki Fuka remembered what her group friends had said. Now wasn't the time to be shy.
「Karin: Go up and greet him directly. See if he remembers yesterday's events.」
"You didn't bring any strange things to school today, did you?" Hoshino Miru walked in front of her, lowering his voice.
"N-no wuwuwu!" Mikazuki Fuka was extremely embarrassed, really wanting to cover her face.
She knew she shouldn't have listened to her group friends. In Hoshino Miru's eyes, she'd definitely become a bad girl with a mind full of dirty thoughts!
"Really?" Hoshino Miru looked her up and down, his eyes carrying a hint of teasing. "If you don't, then I'm relieved. Otherwise I'd really think Fuka had become a bad girl."
Mikazuki Fuka was already too shy to speak. Hoshino Miru not only remembered very clearly but was deliberately using yesterday's events to tease her.
"Honestly, I really wanted to message Fuka yesterday, but I also felt like I went too far and wondered if Fuka wouldn't want to talk to me anymore."
"Actually I also wanted to message Hoshi—Hoshino-kun!" Mikazuki Fuka's eyes lit up, but when it came to the name, she still blushed too much to say Hoshino Miru's name.
"So I'm very happy now." Hoshino Miru kept his voice very soft, looking straight at her.
Mikazuki Fuka's heart fluttered. The more she looked into his eyes, the more she couldn't help gazing into his pupils—especially bright, shimmering with early spring colors, also like a vast azure sea. There, she felt her entire body glowing.
She remembered very clearly—when Hoshino Miru helped her move things, she had also looked into these eyes. Now a year had passed, and they were still bright and moving.
"I... I'm also very happy." Mikazuki Fuka said softly, just not noticing her voice carried some girlish shyness and elation.
What to do, what to do—what should she do now?
「Do You Want Ice Cream Today: Ask about things related to his childhood friend. If he avoids the question or deliberately deflects, hint at what your relationship actually is.」
The words her group friends said flashed through her mind instantly. Mikazuki Fuka found her anchor again. She wouldn't be so easily fooled by Hoshino Miru. She had to confirm their relationship!
So just as Mikazuki Fuka was about to speak, Hoshino Miru had already grabbed her small hand.
"This isn't a place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."
Mikazuki Fuka stood there dumbly with her mouth open, looking at her small hand held by him, then looking at the students passing by around them. Some were looking over in surprise.
As expected, the girl only felt her cheeks were very hot, very flushed. However, she didn't seem to dislike this feeling. Instead, she secretly gripped Hoshino Miru's palm tightly, following beside Hoshino Miru, allowing others to cast surprised and curious glances.
So this was Eriri's usual daily life with him?
