On the other side.
Hikari was unaware of what happened in Principal Rikka's office after he left.
Nor did he know that Louisa already saw him as an easy target in her bag.
At this moment, Hikari was on his way home.
Not to his rented apartment, but to the Tsubakihara residence.
Miss Mira had said she missed him and asked him to come home for dinner today. [T/N: 😏]
After thinking about it, Hikari decided to go back for a meal first.
Then, he planned to head to the nearby Harmony Apartments to hang out with Yukino and Natsuha, and perhaps help them resolve small matters like whose bed sheets got wetter.
Soon, Hikari took a taxi back to the Tsubakihara residence.
Just like the last time he came back.
As soon as he reached the door, it opened before he could knock.
A fragrant scent wafted out, and a soft, voluptuous figure quickly jumped into his arms.
"Little Hikari is back!"
Tsubakihara Mira, wearing only a light pink slip dress, happily hugged Hikari and said.
Miss Mira looked at Hikari, her excitement evident as she stood at the door.
Seeing her thin straps barely able to contain her proud, full figure pressing tightly against his chest, her charming face tilted up as she gazed at him.
Hikari felt a headache forming instantly.
He didn't know why, even though he had just spent time with Kisaragi and been tested by Principal Rikka.
Now, he found himself overwhelmed again.
When facing Miss Mira, his composure always seemed to falter, and his head would easily "grow." [T/N: Here head referes to pen*s]
Coughing twice to cover his embarrassment, Hikari stepped back two paces and said, "Good afternoon, Miss Mira. I'm back."
"By the way, I brought you a gift."
He raised the bag in his hand.
Miss Mira immediately took it with excitement, examining it as she exclaimed in delight:
"Wow! Little Hikari has grown up. You've learned to buy gifts for Auntie."
"Auntie is so happy."
"Skincare products... makeup... bags, and even lingerie and pajamas in my favorite colors and styles..."
"Wow! Little Hikari, you really know every single thing that can make Auntie happy. You remember all my preferences and what touches me the most so clearly."
"I'm so thrilled. Here's a reward kiss for you." [T/N: It should been me. Not Him!]
Saying this, Miss Mira puckered her soft, rosy lips and planted a kiss on Hikari's cheek.
Wiping the saliva off his face, Hikari listened to her seemingly innocent yet ambiguous words and could only smile bitterly.
"Miss Mira, let's talk inside."
Tsubakihara Mira nodded. "Yes, let's talk inside."
Holding his arm affectionately, Miss Mira led him into the house.
Her demeanor was less like welcoming a tenant back and more like greeting a husband returning from work.
Once inside, she continued clinging tightly to his arm.
Coincidentally, Hikari's arm ended up nestled between her peaks.
That soft, enticing sensation was probably every man's dream.
Hikari couldn't help but be momentarily distracted.
But remembering their relationship, he silently withdrew his arm.
Miss Mira didn't react, only letting a faint smile curve her lips.
However, her small, perky nose twitched slightly, as if she had caught a scent from being so close to Hikari.
Tsubakihara Mira had always had a sharp sense of smell.
Turning her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Hikari's handsome face.
In that instant, Hikari felt an ominous premonition arise in his heart…
———
Miss Mira's nostrils flared a few times, as if she smelled something on Hikari.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled at Hikari, saying, "Well, Hikari-chan."
"You giving Auntie gifts, it does show you've grown up and matured psychologically."
"But I don't know if your body has grown up and matured yet."
"When you were little, Auntie carried you."
"Now that you've grown up, carry Auntie, spin around a few times, and let Auntie see if you've truly grown up."
Looking at Miss Mira's expectant gaze.
Hikari really couldn't refuse. When it came to Miss Mira's requests, Hikari basically never refused.
Seeing Miss Mira already lifting her arms, revealing smooth, hairless underarms under the thin straps.
Hikari had no choice but to stretch out his hands, wrap them around her slender waist.
With a slight exertion, he easily picked up Miss Mira and spun her around several times as she requested.
Being lifted off the ground by Hikari, Miss Mira first let out a surprised cry, but quickly calmed down.
"Hikari-chan is so strong now, carrying Auntie feels so stable."
"Takeoff~"
Being spun around in the air, Miss Mira started to play around a bit, spreading her arms like a small airplane and even making takeoff sound effects.
Hearing Miss Mira's happy voice, Hikari couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
'This auntie, who isn't exactly young, always managed to show a quirky cuteness in many ways. Not only does it not seem out of place, but it even makes her seem a bit more adorable than a charming young girl.'
As Hikari thought this, Miss Mira suddenly retracted her arms and hugged his neck.
A dizzying scent of body wash hit him head-on, and Hikari felt like he was suffocating.
After spinning a few times in this situation, Hikari couldn't hold on anymore and had to put Miss Mira down.
Actually, although Miss Mira had a plump and curvy figure, all the weight was in the right places, so she wasn't heavy. Based on Hikari's physique, he could naturally pick her up and put her down with ease.
But considering the occasional accidental skin contact and the suffocating body wash scent during the hug, these factors combined made it a bit difficult for Hikari.
And not just difficult—Hikari felt like his head was about to burst...
After Hikari put Miss Mira down, she smiled sweetly at him and said, "My Little Hikari has really grown up."
Hikari turned slightly to the side, bent down a bit, and replied with a smile, "Yes, I've grown up."
At this moment, Hikari's posture was a bit strange because he had to hide something that shouldn't be visible.
It was unclear whether it was because of the hot weather today or because Miss Mira was too captivating.
Or maybe it was because earlier, with Kisaragi and Principal Rikka, he hadn't been able to fully... let loose.
At this moment, Hikari felt that just by hugging Miss Mira, his head couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
And it seemed that Miss Mira also noticed Hikari's odd demeanor and strange movements after hugging her.
Looking at Hikari's slightly evasive gaze, Miss Mira couldn't help but reveal a charming smile.
"Hikari-chan, do you want to take a shower first? You have a bit of a smell on you~"
Miss Mira suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Hikari's face stiffened.
He immediately remembered that he had indeed showered at the hotel, but after being tested by Principal Rikka, he hadn't had time to shower again.
Although he felt slightly panicked inside, Hikari kept a calm expression and said, "Yeah, my body feels sticky. I must have sweated a bit, so there's probably some smell. I was planning to take a shower as soon as I got home."
"Sticky?" Miss Mira suddenly repeated the word.
"Uh... yeah, today's weather is hot, so I sweated a bit. That makes the body feel sticky and have a slight smell."
Hikari wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that Miss Mira was acting a bit unusual today, as if her tone wasn't particularly cheerful.
Suddenly, the previously contemplative Miss Mira broke into a breathtaking smile.
She smiled and said to Hikari, "The weather is indeed hot today. If you've been active, sweating a lot and feeling sticky is normal."
"Hikari-chan, go upstairs and grab your clothes. I'll fill the tub for you."
Hikari nodded, "Okay!"
After replying, Hikari quickly walked upstairs.
Standing downstairs, watching Hikari's retreating figure, Tsubahara Mira's previously kind smile instantly disappeared.
Her expression became peculiar, her cherry lips tightly pressed together, and her fists slightly clenched, as if she was somewhat angry.
"Using the excuse of hugging, I finally smelled it clearly. I shouldn't be mistaken. Hikari-chan seems to have the scent of another woman on him."
"My sense of smell has always been keen—there's no mistake. And, I think I also saw long strands of hair."
"Hikari's activities today don't seem to be the usual kind of exercise..."
"Damn it, I'm so angry. Who is that damn woman..."
"I had planned to wait until Hikari-chan graduated high school and fully grew up before... but now..."
Tsubahara Mira's heart felt a slight pang of bitterness, as if the pig she had raised had been taken by someone else. She felt an extreme sense of imbalance.
Looking at the photo hanging on the wall of young Hikari being held in her arms, Tsubahara Mira glanced back upstairs at Hikari, who was packing his things. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, as if she had made some decision. [T/N: Holy shet! She is a yandere?]
—
Hikari had just finished packing his clothes when he heard Miss Mira's voice from downstairs.
"Hikari-chan, the water's ready. Come down and take a shower."
"Okay, coming!" Hikari replied, quickly heading downstairs.
As soon as he came down, he saw Miss Mira smiling at him warmly.
"Dinner's ready. Hikari-chan, after you finish your shower, come out and eat."
Hikari nodded in agreement, "Okay, Miss Mira."
Pushing open the bathroom door, a wave of steam rose to greet him.
He waved his hand to disperse the steam.
He saw that the bathtub was indeed filled with water.
Not only had Miss Mira filled the tub, but she had also prepared towels, body wash, shampoo, and even bath towels for after his shower.
There were even many back-scrubbing tools next to the tub.
