"Lie down on the couch."
Sui pointed at the sofa as he spoke. Erina's cheeks flushed slightly, but she complied, lying down obediently.
Sui sat next to her, a small smile playing on his lips, and then slipped his hand beneath her clothes.
"H-Hey! Why are your hands... in there?"
Erina's face turned beet red as she stammered nervously. She had assumed he'd just be massaging her over her clothes, but instead, Sui's hand had found its way underneath! Her ears burned with embarrassment, her lips trembling as her face flushed so deeply it seemed like blood might start dripping from her cheeks.
"How am I supposed to help with the bruises over your clothes?" Sui replied, feigning innocence. His hands moved gently, feeling her smooth, jade-like skin—soft and supple, full of elasticity.
"Is... is that really necessary?" Erina asked, caught off guard by his response. The naive girl, in her confusion, began to believe him.
Sui suppressed a chuckle. 'So easy to fool,' he thought. Keeping a straight face, he nodded seriously. "Of course! If I don't help with the bruises now, your skin will be swollen tomorrow."
Erina hesitated for a moment, a trace of worry crossing her face. But as she looked into Sui's eyes, realizing the playful glint in them, anger replaced her fear.
"You... you tricked me, you bastard!"
Her frustration exploded as she grabbed his other hand and, with a quick movement, bit down hard.
Sui winced, gasping in pain. He instinctively grasps her butt hard with his other hand, causing Erina to cry out in surprise.
"Ouch!" she yelped, blushing furiously, and feeling a sharp pain. "You horrible jerk!"
Her eyes welled up with tears, and before long, the two had slipped back into their familiar routine—a young couple's daily quarrel.
Sui, wearing a mischievous grin, raised his hand to her lips teasingly. "Come on, aren't you going to bite me again? Go ahead."
Erina glared at him, but the moment Sui's hand moved slightly, she hesitated. She could feel the threat of him twisting again, and her resolve wavered.
"Come on, keep biting," Sui teased, his voice full of amusement.
Erina's face contorted with frustration as she ground her teeth, caught between wanting to retaliate and fearing more pain. "You're such a bully! All you ever do is torment me!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with both anger and hurt.
Sui continued to tease her for a while longer, thoroughly enjoying her reactions. But despite her anger, the tsundere girl didn't dare bite him again, knowing the consequences.
"What's there to be upset about? I've already touched and 'eaten' it, haven't I?" Sui muttered under his breath, just loud enough for her to hear.
"You... you bastard!" Erina couldn't hold back anymore. She sank her teeth into his hand with renewed force.
Sui sucked in a breath through his teeth, but he wasn't one to back down. His other hand twisted firmly in response.
"Ah!" Erina let out a sharp cry, feeling the sting from both pain, embarrassment and other kinds of feeling she didn't know about. Her nose tingled as she fought back tears. She lowered her head, feeling thoroughly wronged, and lay there quietly, allowing Sui to continue without protest.
Seeing her sudden compliance, Sui couldn't help but laugh to himself. 'She's acting just like she did when we first met,' he thought, amused by her rare display of willfulness. Their occasional quarrels added a playful spice to their relationship.

The next day, Sui emerged from Erina's bedroom and returned to his own apartment.
Tohru and Kanna were sitting in front of the TV, engrossed in a horror movie. Both dragons seemed completely captivated by the show, their eyes glued to the screen.
Tohrus' usually carefree expression was replaced by one of intense concentration, her face full of nervousness. She even forgot to eat her favorite senbei, which sat untouched beside her.
Sui sat down next to her, and Tohru immediately clung to him, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "It's so scary."
Sui was momentarily speechless. 'A dragon scared of a horror movie?' He thought to himself. If a real zombie or ghost appeared, Tohru could easily destroy it with a breath of fire. What on earth was she afraid of?
"Sui, are there really ghosts in the world?" Kanna asked, her large, innocent eyes sparkling with curiosity as she tugged on his sleeve.
"Uh..." Sui hesitated, unsure how to answer the age-old question. "Well..."
Before he could come up with an explanation, he changed the subject. "Kanna, aren't you supposed to be at school today?"
"It's a rest day," Kanna replied with a nod.
Sui couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He hadn't spent much time with the two dragons recently, and they had been watching TV every day.
Of course, what he didn't know was that while he was busy, the two had caused more than a few natural disasters—earthquakes, tsunamis, and the sinking of an island, among other things.
"How about we go somewhere fun today?" Sui suddenly suggested, hoping to make up for the lost time.
Tohru's eyes immediately lit up, the fear from the movie forgotten in an instant. "Really? Where?"
"Somewhere fun. But you have to promise not to cause any trouble."
Both dragons eagerly nodded, their excitement palpable.
Sui planned to take them to 'Tōtsuki Academy's' Moon Banquet Festival for a visit.

In the living room of Erina's mansion, Chansey was busy cleaning with a group of helpers. Over time, she had become the unofficial housekeeper of the place.
But suddenly, she froze in her tracks, sensing a pair of eerie eyes staring at her. Slowly turning around, she saw Kanna squatting behind her, staring with an expressionless face.
"Sui," Kanna said, her tone innocent but curious, "Can I eat this?"
