NOVEL NEXT Chapter 188: Why do you always talk back to me?!!!
"You're here again, can't you just behave? We agreed, we'd only kiss."
"Chiba-san, it's not like I have much of a choice..."
"Don't you have even this little self-control, Haruka?"
"I'm usually very obedient, it's probably... maybe it's because you're too charming, Chiba-san... Come on, stop talking, let me kiss you once more..."
"Smooth talker... mmm..."
In the mountains, a cabin,
A quiet, peaceful night, under the scrutiny of the bright moonlight,
A boy and a girl lying on the open-air corridor,
Are searching for the most romantic, most thrilling, and most innocent love in life... The girl cuddles obediently against his chest, and Haruka Yuzan subconsciously places his hand at the hem of the girl's skirt,
Then, he finds that familiar place, slowly moving from the calf upwards,
In just an instant, Haruka Yuzan touches the girl's skin, smooth and tender like milk.
It's really hard to imagine, how can a beautiful girl's body be so fragrant and soft?
Haruka Yuzan doesn't hesitate at all,
He instantly changes the direction of his hands' advance, from back to front, and Chiba Shimizu squirms a little, uncomfortably.
But it seems she is already accustomed to it and soon stops moving, just quietly and earnestly kissing the boy.
Two delicate arms entwine around Haruka's neck, her beautiful face flushed with an alluring charm.
Just as the girl described, they are a limited edition couple...
The two of them are lost in their deep kiss, with the rustling of the leaves around them, as if adding ambiance to this grand scene.
After a while, their lips part,
Haruka Yuzan looks up at the girl opposite him, her clear eyes show a trace of confusion, her slightly swollen lips look so tempting.
"Chiba..."
He reaches out, touches the girl's cheek with pity, while his other hand is nestled between the girl's... savoring all the wonders of the world.
"Mhm," Chiba Shimizu nods lightly. In this moment, the young miss truly seems like a girlfriend — sweet, obedient, sensible.
Just as Haruka Yuzan is about to say something, he hears that serene voice again,
"Haruka... I want to have a look."
"Huh... huh??" Haruka Yuzan is startled.
Have a look, look at what? As he looks up again, he notices that the confusion in those clear eyes has vanished, replaced with a burning curiosity to explore the unknown.
"I just want to have a look at your..."
Seeing the boy's stunned expression, Chiba Shimizu softly adds, the desire to explore practically bursting forth,
"May I?"
Meeting those eyes that almost seem to lose reason, Haruka Yuzan swallows hard,
Even though the spoken words seem lewd, why does it feel more like an academic inquiry on the girl's part?
Perhaps, this is Chiba Shimizu, always exuding an indescribable purity and cleanliness in everything she does.
If it were someone else, he might not believe it, but with Chiba-san, even the most outrageous things gradually seem to make sense.
"Yes... I'm just genuinely curious, but if it's not okay, then it's not a problem."
"No, it's no problem, I'm quite happy to."
Though it feels a bit odd, Haruka Yuzan is not about to act coy.
If the girl doesn't mind, and he doesn't lose out, what's there to hesitate about?
......
The bright moonlight falls gently, casting a radiant glow, featuring what seems like special effects around.
Cicadas cry out, the wind roars, and in the open-air corridor in front of the cabin,
"Haruka?"
Recalling the sensation from the Ferris wheel in the afternoon, the young miss poses the first question of the night.
Chiba Shimizu begins her first foray into studying the anatomy of Haruka Yuzan.
Truthfully, seeing the young miss like this, Haruka Yuzan finds it hard to harbor any immoral thoughts.
Afraid to tarnish this inquisitive soul seeking knowledge, for some reason, he suddenly feels the urge to cry...
"As long as you make me happy, that's enough," he whispers explanations, a breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness.
"Is that so? Happiness..." the girl mutters, then looks at the boy, those eyes like autumn waters no longer bearing the suggestive expression they had before.
All that remains is a serious, analytical gaze,
"How can I make you happy?"
"If it's okay, please let me do something too."
"Hmm? What do you want to do?"
"It's just... like on the Ferris wheel..."
...
Several minutes later,
"That... would you believe me if I say it wasn't intentional?"
Looking at the disheveled girl before him, her fair, delicate skin bearing a mix of anger and reproach, Haruka Yuzan quickly speaks up.
"Haruka Yuzan!"
With clenched teeth, Chiba Shimizu utters each word distinctly.
"Listen to me, let me explain!"
.......
The night grows deeper,
The mountain path had become even more treacherous, and with only the pale moonlight and the glow from the phone's flashlight to guide us, we could barely make out the ground beneath our feet and the person beside us.
Fortunately, Haruka was indeed very familiar with the way down the mountain.
All Haruka Yuzan needed to do was to hold onto that little hand, which was washed but still damp, and honestly follow the maiden's lead.
Looking at the beauty beside him, with her pale complexion, long eyelashes, rosy lips, and those autumn water-like eyes that carried a hint of coldness, she exuded an icy aura.
Haruka Yuzan could very responsibly tell you that it was all his fault, and he was the one completely to blame.
Though her little hand was being held by Haruka, the cold, resentful expression on Chiba Shimizu's face made Haruka Yuzan shiver involuntarily,
"Chiba-san, you have to listen to my explanation, I already told you in advance..."
Chiba Shimizu simply cast him a cold glance, giving the impression that she wouldn't believe any self-exculpation from Haruka Yuzan.
"Agh, actually, you can't really blame me, the main reason is that you, Chiba-san, are too beautiful, and I just couldn't resist..."
Haruka Yuzan looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky and said with a tragic tone,
The atmosphere between the two had been very sweet, you could even describe it as the loving cooing of a couple, but it was ruined by his own impulsiveness.
You weren't like this before! It's truly heartbreaking!!
We emerged from the hill,
and found ourselves in a desolate place where hailing a cab was impossible.
Thankfully, after Haruka Yuzan raised the bid price twice in succession, a driver finally accepted the job.
Unfortunately,
upon returning to the villa, the young lady remained silent, hurriedly walking towards the second floor as soon as the door was opened.
"Tsk tsk."
Watching that beautifully graceful figure retreat, Misaki Saki, standing diligently by Haruka Yuzan's side, couldn't help but click her tongue twice.
The child wore only a large T-shirt in the summer heat, her bare feet peeking out, exposing two delicate, pale little legs, her expression was like that of a wisened elder who'd seen it all,
"Hey, Haruka, where did you and Little Shimizu go to have fun tonight coming back this late?"
It wasn't until the figure disappeared that Misaki Saki playfully twisted her hips and nudged the boy's thigh with a cheeky grin.
"None of your business!"
Glancing at the gossipy little she-devil, Haruka Yuzan promptly hoisted her onto his shoulders and gave the little tyke's backside a pat,
"Behave yourself, or be careful you might fall!"
"Ouch! Hey! That's not fair!! I demand a rematch!"
The little one lay upon his shoulder, chattering away insistently, her pale little legs flailing in the air as if she were swimming.
It wasn't until Haruka Yuzan tossed her onto the couch that the little sprite let out a dissatisfied huff,
"Hmph, fine, keep your secret. All the benefits go to you."
Seeing the child curled up on the sofa, Haruka Yuzan shook his head in mild frustration and smoothed her hair, saying with a smile,
"Someday, I'll take you to the amusement park."
"Really?" she instantly perked up at the suggestion, her large eyes that had been filled with resentment now shining brightly again,
Comparing which was more important, probing the relationship between Haruka and Little Shimizu or going to the amusement park... For the little one, it might be difficult to pick a clear winner.
But... As a single-celled being when it came to attention span, the little one would quickly forget the previous matter once a new one took over her mind.
"Really, when have I ever lied to you?" Haruka Yuzan said with a laugh.
"Yay!!"
The child, now cheerful, began planning when they would go and what she wanted to do...
Watching the little one's joy, Haruka Yuzan's sullen mood also lifted somewhat,
"Haruka, you're back?"
At that moment, a kind and warm voice reached his ears.
Haruka Yuzan looked up and saw a pair of shapely and voluptuous legs, followed by the familiar black shorts and a white tank top.
The tiny piece of clothing that seemed hardly able to contain the madam's grandeur, even betraying her slim waist.
With her ivory neck, enchantingly beautiful face, tender eyes, and black hair piled atop her head, the gentle madam always brought a sense of homely comfort and warmth,
Reiko Onodera, who had just emerged from the laundry room, noticed one fewer person in the living room and asked with a hint of curiosity,
"Huh, where's Shimizu? Has she gone back upstairs?"
"Mm... Shimizu had something to take care of, so she went back to the second floor."
Every mention of Chiba Shimizu made Haruka Yuzan again feel a pang of distress.
How to explain? Should he just tell the truth?
Although they had rinsed off in the mountain stream... was she now upstairs for a more thorough cleansing?
In recent days, how come he'd so often stumbled upon the young lady's pet peeves? It was indeed headache-inducing!
"I see."
Reiko Onodera nodded, then as if something dawned on her, she quickly added,
"Haruka, would you like some fruit? I'll go cut some for you."
In this small landlord's life, the madam always seemed to have a pile of tasks she couldn't sit still without doing.
"No need, Sister Reiko, you rest for a while."
Seeing the perspiration on the beautiful woman's forehead, Haruka Yuzan knew that Sister Reiko must have been busy all day, not resting for a moment.
"I'm not tired, then... Haruka, how about you take a bath? I'll run the water for you."
The relationship with Haruka was like tasting honey for Reiko Onodera, sweetly satisfying, and her smile became even more tender.
As long as she could help Haruka...
Just then, the ever-quiet Misaki Saki suddenly chimed in,
"Hey, Sister Reiko, I remember you mentioned before, isn't little Rika about to have a break? Let's go visit her and play!!!"
