125 Dont Lick Me! Dont Suck on Me! (1/2)

Seiji felt as if he had barely managed to escape with his life… No, this must be a mistaken impression!

How could someone as gentle and kind as Mai Houjou-senpai do something so cruel?

”Senpai, you’re really good at making jokes.”

”I wasn’t joking, junior~”

Haha… Hehe… the two of them exchanged smiles.

‘Please tell me you were just joking! I’m starting to get scared here!!’

Seiji tugged at the corner of his lips.

He decided not to think too deeply about the hidden meaning behind this beautiful maid-senpai’s smile…

Yep, all he had to do was pay it little attention.

…

Natsuya and Hitaka returned.

When they returned, Seiji was playing with his cat… whoops, he was throwing snacks at Shika to feed her.

”The two of you… seem to be having a fun time today,” Natsuya remarked.

Seiji noticed that both girls seemed rather fatigued and paused his movements, causing him to be bitten on the fingers by Shika as she attempted to get at the candy in his hand.

”The two of you… seem to have had a hard time today,” he observed.

Natsuya sighed. ”Yeah… we met with some troublesome matters.”

Her tone of voice sounded so jaded! Just what exactly could have happened!?

Seiji was in a state of shock.

Then, he noticed that Hitaka seemed to be glaring fiercely at Shika.

Oh, so that’s how it was… or maybe he should say that he should have expected it.

Seiji glanced at the amnesiac girl.

He discovered that she was currently in the midst of licking his finger.

”Hey! Stop licking! Stop sucking!”

”Eh… But there’s still a good smell here~”

While Seiji was commenting on the situation, his face also began flushing red.

He definitely needed to remember that feeling just now… no, that wasn’t it! Forget that feeling! Hurry up and forget it!!

This was yet another memory that he would need to seal away.

Why ‘another?’

That was because so many things had happened today when he was accompanying Shika!

Seiji’s sense of reason was constantly being shaken by this overwhelmingly cute creature beside him, and he had to continuously place seals on his memory, or else he might have turned into that which was forbidden.

Sigh…

Seiji wasn’t the one who had sighed.

Rather, it was Hitaka who had done so as she helplessly retracted her gaze.

She was still a reasonable person and knew that the ‘Reaper’s Curse’ would bring various difficulties down upon them… The misfortune wasn’t something anyone could decide.

So, even though today was rather… difficult for her and her lady, there was no reason for her to hate or complain about Shika Kagura.

She quickly returned to her state of calmness.

Seeing that her lady didn’t appear shaken at all, Hitaka was inwardly impressed with her master’s regal bearing.

But, the truth was…

‘Why do I really feel like giving Seiji Haruta a good punch right now?’

Natsuya didn’t understand her own feelings.

But that thought had definitely flashed through her mind, especially when she witnessed how intimate Shika acted with him while playing.

A mysterious sense of rage appeared from nowhere in her heart, and she almost felt like venting it. She barely managed to control herself and somehow used a normal, calm tone of voice.

‘This must be due to us encountering many difficulties today during our investigation, while they just spent this day being idle and having fun… That must be why I lost control of my emotions, right?'

‘Honestly, I can’t be this immature, Natsuya Yoruhana!’

The scion inwardly warned herself to not stoop to such a low level and managed to regain her calm.

The scene was temporarily silent.

All three of them were adjusting their emotions during this time.

As for the other person…

”Brother, give me some more candy~”

”Nope, you can’t have too many snacks before dinner.”

”Hmph… Stingy!”

Shika puffed out her cheeks discontentedly.

‘So cute! I should… just give her one more candy…’
