Crossover: I Took In a Runaway High School Girl

After a while, a comfortable silence settled over the room. Shiina Mashiro wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, her large, empty eyes staring at Renji Kamisaka. "Renji, I'm very full." Her voice was innocent, yet there was a deep satisfaction there.

Renji Kamisaka felt a flicker of eagerness, hoping Mashiro would continue to "carry on." However, seeing her adorable expression, which now looked a little tired, he knew he couldn't go too far. Just as he was about to stop the activity, Shiina Mashiro extended her beautiful white leg towards him.

Shiina Mashiro's skin was indeed as white as her name suggested. It was an alluring, almost transparent milky white. Her jade-like legs appeared clear, with bright, small, delicate, and cute toes. There was no strange odor, instead, a faint, sweet, milky scent wafted from them.

Renji Kamisaka thought of scenes from comics, how heroines would gently entwine their legs. A sudden surge of heat spread through him, making him tremble unconsciously. He couldn't help but hold Mashiro's beautiful jade-like leg, focusing all his attention on the delicate sensation.

Time passed imperceptibly, lost in the intimate silence. When the "delicious food" finally emerged, Shiina Mashiro quickly opened her mouth, taking another gulp. "Hmm... so much... can't waste it," she murmured, her eyes slightly squinted.

Renji Kamisaka was truly captivated by her innocence. Mashiro clearly knew nothing about the meaning behind her actions, yet for his pleasure, she created a strong contrast between her innocence and the acts she performed. Renji truly accepted this kindness, which Mashiro gave selflessly. So, he decided to teach her some new knowledge.

After taking her to clean up, he brought Mashiro back to her room in Sakurasou Dorm. The adorable Shiina Mashiro sat on his lap, looking at Renji with pure curiosity. "What will Renji teach Mashiro?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.

Renji Kamisaka curved his lips, a faint smile etched there. He raised his hand to gently cup Mashiro's small face. "Is there still something you don't understand about Mashiro's recent comics? For example, why do the heroes and heroines use kisses to express themselves?" He leaned in, their eyes locked. "Now, let Mashiro feel it."

After saying that, he kissed her gently. His lips naturally covered Mashiro's soft, warm cherry lips.

"Mmm... wow?" Shiina Mashiro widened her eyes and stared at him blankly. Is this a kiss? Her mind spun. No, this wasn't over yet. It wasn't just a touch of lips. Renji Kamisaka hugged her slender waist tightly. The skillful and deep kiss made Mashiro Shiina tremble. Then, unconsciously, she raised her hands and wrapped them around Renji's neck. She responded awkwardly, but with a touch of instinct. The unexpected, wonderful feeling emptied her mind, leaving only sensation. Her heart pounded hard involuntarily, its rhythm fast and irregular.

After they parted, Mashiro gasped in Renji Kamisaka's embrace, her breath coming in ragged gasps. She covered her chest, feeling her wild heartbeat, and murmured to herself, "So strange..." She lifted her head, her eyes filled with innocent confusion. "Renji... Mashiro's heart is beating so fast." She took Renji's palm and let him feel her thundering heartbeat. Renji Kamisaka immediately felt a surge of surging passion, so he lowered his head and blocked Mashiro's lips again, deeper than before.

…..

After dinner, Mashiro had only eaten a little. Now she couldn't even touch her favorite annual cake. Thinking about the strange feelings Renji Kamisaka had taught her, she returned to her room and began to draw furiously, her energy redirected into her work. The internationally talented painter, Shiina Mashiro, wanted to become a cartoonist who could publish her works. She hoped to bring smiles to others with her comics. It didn't matter if it wasn't smiles. Various emotions, like various colors, were the essence of art. Shiina Mashiro hoped her brush could produce quality works and allow readers to color their own emotional palettes.

That night, Sakurajima Mai returned to Sakurasou. Her presence was warmly welcomed. Sayu Ogiwara and Shiina Mashiro naturally expressed their greetings, and the atmosphere in the dorm felt more lively. After dinner, Renji Kamisaka curiously asked Mai, "How was the company contract termination?"

Sakurajima Mai was still very happy to hear Renji ask, which showed that Renji Kamisaka still cared about her. But on the surface, she still crossed her arms proudly and gave him a mischievous look. "What do you think?"

"I think the contract has been terminated. After all, I'm very much against you taking swimsuit photos. If you want to take photos, only I can take them." Renji replied with a teasing tone.

"Bah, you have good thoughts. I don't want a playboy like you taking photos," Sakurajima Mai looked at him with feigned disdain, and then said confidently, her smile a little wry. "Because the contract was terminated, my mother and I are now poor people, so we don't have rent money to give you."

Renji Kamisaka smiled. "It's okay. I can accept you paying rent with yourself." He winked.

"Bah! No," Mai scoffed.

"If you don't give me, I'll..." Renji began, a deliberate pause.

"Kick me out?" Mai guessed, her voice shrinking slightly.

"No, no, no, how could I do that?" Renji laughed. "If you don't give me, I can only let you owe me first, and then we can give you yourself to me."

"You... hate me. I said I won't give you yourself!" Mai's cheeks grew hot, a blush spreading across her face. Although she didn't express her goodwill verbally, she had already considered this place her own home, a place where she could be herself without the pressures of the entertainment world. If it weren't for Renji Kamisaka, she might have been forgotten by her mother, forgotten by others, and finally quietly disappeared from this world, trapped in the strange Seishun Buta Yarou phenomenon.

Renji Kamisaka smiled gently, a smile that could melt anyone. Suddenly, he pulled Sakurajima Mai into his embrace. "Mai, welcome home," he whispered, his voice warm and soothing.

The girl's cheeks flushed instantly, startled by the sudden hug, yet she didn't pull away. Instead, she took a deep breath, inhaling Renji's scent, and hugged him back tightly. "Well, I'm back," she murmured, her voice slightly choked.

Renji Kamisaka then released her. It's better to be direct when dealing with tsunderes, he thought to himself. See, Mai is so susceptible to this.

Sakurajima Mai tried hard to pretend to be calm, raising her hand to fiddle with her newly freed hair, trying to hide the blush on her face. "To terminate the contract, my mother and I paid a large sum of liquidated damages," she began to explain, her voice returning to its usual flat tone. "And at the same time, to compensate the company for its losses, we returned all the money we had earned previously." She sighed. "However, later, a young lady from the Yukinoshita family found my mother and gave me an advertisement for our virtual reality game, and my value skyrocketed instantly." A faint, triumphant smile appeared on her lips. "Now I can choose the advertisements I want, and I'm not afraid of being banned by the original company. You might see me on TV in a few days. It is said that the game has already started testing, and is still recruiting test players."

"I see," Renji Kamisaka nodded in understanding. "Haruno is truly amazing."

Sakurajima Mai pouted. "What's your relationship with the eldest lady of the Yukinoshita family?" Her tone suddenly turned sour.

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be engaged by the end of this month," Renji replied casually, as if discussing the weather.

Sakurajima Mai's eyes widened. "Then why are you messing around with so many girls?" She glared at him angrily, fury burning in her eyes. This scoundrel turns out to be a gigolo, using that young lady's power to help him. The thought flashed quickly through her mind.

Renji Kamisaka naturally knew what Mai was thinking. He raised his hand and held Mai's hand, looking at her seriously. "If I were a poor landlord, do you think the young lady from the Yukinoshita family would get engaged to me?"

"You're a gigolo, what's wrong with that? That young lady likes you," Mai retorted quickly, her tone still sour, and she completely forgot who had just said that she wouldn't be interested in a cheating man like Renji.

Renji Kamisaka held back his laughter, explaining. "The core of that virtual reality game was provided by me. I have shares in that company. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to support future girlfriends."

"Bah, is this why you're cheating?" Sakurajima Mai scoffed. "Besides, have you told Sumireko, Mashiro, and Sayu about your engagement?"

"Yeah, it's just an engagement, not a marriage. I'm still in high school," Renji replied indifferently.

"Do they have no objections?" Mai pressed, curious and skeptical.

A mischievous smile appeared on Renji's face. "I'll marry the people I like at the same time, and see who still has objections."

Sakurajima Mai: "..." She fell silent, stunned. Speechless, how could you think so crazy? You actually want to hold a grand wedding and marry all the girls you like? "Do you think you're the male protagonist of a light novel? Or are you the son of God? How can you be so greedy?" Sakurajima Mai said with deep resentment on her face, raising her hand and pinching Renji's arm hard, a pinch full of mixed emotions.

Renji Kamisaka raised his eyebrows, a mischievous grin blossoming. He decided to pinch her back, but of course he couldn't be violent with Mai, as that would ruin his image. So, he went straight in and kissed her cheek hard, a loud smack. "Pinch me again, and I'll kiss you again!" he threatened, his eyes glinting with amusement.

Sakurajima Mai blushed crimson, she covered her kissed cheek, and couldn't help but pretend to be fierce and glare at him. "Do you believe that I can remove your tools and make you unable to get up again?" she growled, the familiar threat slipping from her lips.

Renji Kamisaka raised his eyebrows. This is so familiar.

Sakurajima Mai finally fled, panicking as Renji opened his arms again, as if to hug her. She wasn't ready, and she had no intention of surrendering herself so easily. So she had no choice but to escape, her steps quick and erratic.

Renji Kamisaka was not in a hurry. Seeing Mai's panicked back receding, he couldn't help but show a smug expression. We've settled here. You can't escape.
