NOVPUBEven though she didn’t usually watch anime, she could still recite the classic lines of such a nationally renowned IP by heart.
"So, tell me, why did you come to see me?"
"You must be thinking of having me join forces with you to go against Yumeko-chan!!"
??!!!
...
"Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour?"
As Otome Mizuko passed by the living room, she found Chiba Shimizu still sitting on the sofa reading a book, a smirk of disdain curling at the corner of her mouth.
"What about you? Why are you only getting back now at this time?"
Chiba Shimizu replied at her own pace.
"For someone who constantly talks about someone else’s fiancée, coming home late every night is not a good habit..."
"Do you want to die, Chiba Shimizu!"
Otome Mizuko narrowed her eyes, her brows tinged with a faint, warm anger!
Chiba Shimizu closed the book, but her autumn-water-like eyes quietly glanced at the bedroom in the center of the second-floor corridor.
Forty minutes ago, Sister Reiko entered Haruka Yuzan’s room, and she hasn’t come out yet... What on earth are they doing?
"What are you looking at?"
Otome Mizuko narrowed her eyes slightly.
Chiba Shimizu didn’t answer her; her beautiful eyes nonchalantly drifted onto the black-haired beauty before her: "I just think that if you can’t fulfill the responsibilities that come with a certain status, you shouldn’t flaunt that status every day. Wait until you are capable enough to truly claim it."
"What do you mean by that?"
For the moment, Otome Mizuko was so provoked by the girl’s words that she forgot to return to the second-floor to find Haruka...
If the secretary saw this, she’d probably whip out her notebook to take notes again, hmm, she found the only thing that could deter the young lady from looking for Haruka Yuzan!
That is to get Miss Chiba to stimulate and deliberately anger the young lady!!
.....
In the bedroom upstairs.
The battle was still underway, with the set changing over and over.
From the bathroom to the window, from the sofa to the wooden chair, from the bathtub to now behind the room door.
Even though she knew that the room was soundproofed well, the stirred beautiful matron still tried to keep her voice low.
But oftentimes, it’s this kind of feeble humming that can stimulate the destructive desire within the human body even more.
Haruka Yuzan felt just that, the madam’s half-rejecting, half-accepting demeanor was simply too delectable!!!
"Sister Reiko, it’s okay, the room is soundproofed very well...."
"No, no, we can’t do this anymore, whenever Yumeko comes back, don’t, don’t let her find out....."
Even now, the madam was still considering Haruka Yuzan’s future life.
"It’s okay, Yumeko hasn’t come back yet, she will be late today, I asked her..."
For some reason, Haruka Yuzan always felt that the conversations between them were somewhat strange...
It was just like those disposable characters in a play who are having an affair and then set a flag, as if they were going to be discovered at any second. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Wow, what a dangerous thought...
However, Haruka Yuzan felt that his concerns were completely unnecessary, the young lady had already told him in a message before that she was going to a family business affiliated with the Otome Family that evening to have dinner and talk business, judging by the time, she should be on her way now or just getting ready to eat...
And wouldn’t talking business take at least an hour to start?
So..... they have plenty of time to continue playing, any worries were just signs of guilt and overreaction.
But tonight was destined to disappoint Haruka Yuzan....
...
"Misaki, how did you know I came to see you because of this?"
At the end of the second-floor hallway, in another bedroom.
Arisugawa Hoshina sat on a recliner, asking somewhat worriedly.
Was my performance during the day so obvious? Even Misaki noticed it, so the others must have.... It’s all over....
"How would I know?"
Misaki Saki blinked, she had just spoken casually, since if she let the little one guess the reason, that tiny brain the size of a fist would only think in terms of naughty and even more thrilling naughty stuff.
Clearly, teaming up with herself to fight Haruka on the bed, that was indeed thrilling naughty stuff.
Then she just casually said so, but... seeing little Hoshina’s reaction... did she guess it right?!!
After a brief brainstorm, Misaki Saki immediately put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly, "Ah O(∩_∩)O haha~, I knew it, Lady Misaki is the smartest!!!"
After showing off, the little one also began to boast about her own detective skills, "Little Hoshina, this is where you were careless."
"Me? Careless? Was it that obvious?"
Arisugawa Hoshina’s heart skipped a beat, this couldn’t have been noticed by Otome Yumeko too, could it....
"Yeah, just one look and I got it!!"
Misaki Saki clapped her little hands and declared with a clang.
"Meow..."
At that moment, the roast meat appropriately meowed at the same time, its wise bean eyes seeming to say it all.
I, Lord Cat, have seen through this too!~o(=∩ω∩=)m Hand over three little dried fish, and I’ll keep your secret!!
....
"Crazy...."
In the first-floor hall, Otome Yumeko also finally snapped out of her angry emotions, realizing that Chiba Shimizu had been deliberately provoking her to anger from the get-go, seemingly hiding something.
How could those subtle changes in expression escape the eagle eyes of the composed young miss?

However, Otome Yumeko attributed all of Chiba Shimizu’s abnormal actions to guilt and incompetence, "If all you wanted was to provoke me and make me lose my composure, then you’re using the wrong tactics, Chiba Shimizu."
"Lacking the strength to keep Haruka, you resorted to such despicable tactics? I am truly ashamed for you, Chiba Shimizu."
This time, Chiba Shimizu didn’t reply, just lightly picked up the book on the coffee table and went back to being that elegant and simple beauty.
"Hmph!"
However, this only reinforced Otome Yumeko’s belief, and with a scornful smile, she turned and walked up to the second floor.
It was wrong to let such a trivial matter delay her from seeing Haruka, a mistake she must not repeat, Yumeko!! Haruka’s affairs must always come first!!!
"Sigh."
And there on the sofa, Chiba Shimizu, holding her book, found herself unable to focus.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced toward the second floor, where a graceful and voluptuous woman had just stepped out of a room, seemingly noticing the black-haired beauty on the staircase and becoming visibly flustered.
She had no idea what relationship Sister Reiko had with Haruka Yuzan, nor what they had been doing in a room together, but instinctively felt that according to Otome Yumeko’s temperament and character, even if nothing untoward had happened, just getting caught by her might have a bad impact on madam.
Such a gentle and kind person shouldn’t be hurt.
But was she abetting the wrongdoer?
Thinking this, the girl couldn’t help but laugh at herself mockingly, what right did she have to say such a thing?
Abetting the wrongdoer?
How many times had she done such a thing herself... even getting herself involved....
...
Otome Yumeko arrived on the second floor and immediately spotted the hurriedly approaching beautiful woman.
The silk slip nightgown outlined the exquisite curves of her delicate body, strands of hair damp with sweat clung to her cheeks, her soft flushed face, and her anxious, dodging eyes.
"Ah, Yumeko, you’re back?"
Upon seeing the young miss, Reiko Onodera tried to greet her with feigned composure.
"Yes."
Otome Yumeko nodded, looked madam up and down, and said nothing.
"So, Yumeko, would you like something to eat? I’ll go warm up dinner for you."
Madam kept talking, seemingly trying to stall for time?
After all, the bedroom was now full of the remnants of battle!!!
