Ryuji relieved the day's fatigue by soaking in the bath, as if all 365 pores on his body were open, it was very refreshing.
As he was lost in his own world, the bathroom door opened.
At first he thought it was Nero who had come to attack. After all, Jeanne Alter and Marie weren't Heroic Spirits who would do something like that, but that didn't seem to be the case.
"What are you doing here?" Ryuji asked without bothering to raise his eyes.
"I heard that in Japan it is necessary for someone to wipe their backs when taking a bath. I'm here to help you."
"I think it's better for you to pay more attention to your own safety," Ryuji said lightly.
A lone man and woman were in the same room, and Ryuji couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't do something.
"Ara, have you finally been charmed by me? I thought you didn't like girls," Rita said with a grin.
"What's wrong with you?" Ryuji asked helplessly.
"I just want to return the favor, and I want to chat with you." Rita said.
"Good." Ryuji stood up magnanimously. He is a healthy man and would not refuse such a request.
"Better use a towel first!" shouted Rita with a blushing face.
...
Ryuji was on the stool, and Rita used the towel behind him to rub his back.
"Actually, I don't fully admit the truth," said Rita.
"Some time ago, I actually planned to stop painting."
"Because Mashiro?" Ryuji asked.
"There's part of the reason," Rita said: "But it's more than that in other people's evaluations. I'm the only one sticking with Mashiro. I was a little complacent, but my grandfather said, 'Better forget about it, after all, I can't compare to Mashiro. 'In this case."
"Your grandfather is really nothing." Ryuji commented.
Rita amused at the words. "You're right, grandpa really sucks when he gets too strict with me."
"It's strange to say that I was already planning to give up painting, but because of you and Mashiro, I have regained my passion for painting."
"This is a thank you gift." Rita suddenly kissed Ryuji's face, and was about to leave shyly.
"I said you should think about your own safety." Ryuji suddenly held Rita's wrist, and the girl lost her weight and fell into his embrace.
"What are you doing?" Rita asked frantically. No matter how open she was, if she fell into a man's arms, no girl wouldn't freak out.
"What do you think?" Ryuji sneered, this woman played tricks on him so many times, she really thought he was easy to tease if he didn't show color!
"Ahhhhh!!"
...
The first kiss was not only lost, but so was she.... Rita just wanted to tease and thank Ryuji, but she didn't expect it to be such a big loss!
"Damn it, give me back my first kiss!" Rita grabbed Ryuji's neck.
"Not enough lessons?" Ryuji looked at her with a grin.
Rita shivered and said nothing.
Damn it! Rita gritted her teeth, scolding Ryuji with all her heart.
Rita came and went quickly, and was ready to return after staying at Ryuji's house for two days.
....
Ryuji and Mashiro came to the airport to see her off.
"Aren't you going to stay for two more days?" Ryuji asked.
"Forget it, I'm not the free type after all," Rita said with a smile, "Or is Ryuji reluctant to part with me? It's really embarrassing."
Ryuji curled his lips, this woman had become more and more arrogant since then, it seemed the lessons from back then weren't enough.
"Rita, I will miss you." Mashiro hugged Rita.
"Me too." Rita said with a smile.
She separated from Mashiro and looked at Ryuji.
Ryuji frowned "Why, you want to ask for a hug from me?"
"Yes." Rita said bluntly.
Ryuji was shocked, always feeling a little strange.
"Open your hands quickly, do you want a girl like me to take the initiative?" Rita pouted.
Ryuji helplessly opened his hand.
Rita showed a winning smile, rushed up, and pecked Ryuji in the mouth while he wasn't paying attention.
"This is revenge last time!"
Ryuji rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say.
Ryuji and Mashiro saw Rita leave, but Mashiro didn't say a word since earlier.
"Did Ryuji and Rita do it?" asked Mashiro suddenly.
"Pfft!" Ryuji almost spit out blood, what is Mashiro talking about!
"No."
"But you guys just kissed." Mashiro touched her lips.
"That's a goodbye kiss, that's normal." Ryuji really didn't know how to instill such knowledge into Mashiro.
