Evidently, upon entering the widow Yuki Onna's home once again, Hikari no longer needed to ask and could directly step into her intimate space.
Hikari took out the key and opened the door.
After entering the room, Hikari originally planned to call out "Miss Yukino."
However, as soon as he closed the door, Hikari noticed a graceful silhouette, already half-sitting on the floor, her beautiful eyes tightly locked onto him, as if she had been waiting for him all along.
"Hi~ Kari~ Kun~" [T/N: I deserve it too (╥﹏╥)]
Hikari saw Yukino sitting in the entryway. Her voluptuous figure was half-leaning against the wall, one hand resting on her full, black-stocking-clad thigh, the other on her plump and proud bosom, her face adorned with a hint of an enchanting smile as she looked at him.
"Miss Yukino, good afternoon."
Facing Yukino's sultry gaze, Hikari couldn't help but feel a slight warmth rise in his heart.
Confronted with such an alluring and mature Yuki Onna, Hikari naturally couldn't remain unaffected.
However, since they had only had one deeply intimate encounter, and now that they were both here, each understanding what would happen next, there was no need for him to rush.
Thus, under Yukino's fiery gaze, Hikari calmly removed his shoes.
While removing them, he smiled and asked, "Miss Yukino, how did you show up here so promptly? Can you predict my arrival?"
Yukino shook her head, a captivating smile appearing on her charmingly beautiful face as she softly replied, "I'm a Yuki Onna, not a prophet; how could I have foresight?"
"But Hikari, since you said on the phone that you were coming, I've been sitting here at the doorway, waiting for you~."
Hearing this, Hikari couldn't help but smile.
This socially awkward widow Yuki Onna, once she accepted someone, was truly gentle and considerate, touching one's heart deeply.
She had sat here waiting for him ever since he hung up the phone.
This tenderness—let alone compared to those irritating fairy-like girls from his past life—even in Tokyo, where Yamato Nadeshiko[1] culture prevailed, was extremely rare.
Seeing Yukino's tender, water-like smile, Hikari slowed down his movements to avoid being abrupt.
While taking off his shoes, he glanced at Yukino, smiling warmly back at her.
With a gentle smile on his handsome face, Hikari came across as a warm man, refraining from succumbing to the impulse to pounce on Yukino and kiss her wildly.
What Hikari didn't know was that Yukino, maintaining her gentle smile, was also suppressing her own urges, stopping herself from impulsively rushing forward to hug him and kiss him wildly.
Since last night's learning session with Hikari, Yukino, who had never deeply interacted with human society before and lacked much human knowledge, had learned a lot and experienced an unprecedented joy. [T/N: For mentally slower group, here knowledge means se*ual knowledge gained through intercourse.]
So today, as soon as she saw Hikari—or even thought about him—she became very excited.
At this moment, she was half-leaning against the wall, not only to maintain a graceful posture but also because her body was somewhat weak and soft.
The moment she saw Hikari, she couldn't help but activate some of her Yuki Onna abilities. A faint layer of frost appeared on her skin beneath her dress, then melted into droplets of water, like a small brook.
Realizing this, Yukino quickly restrained her abilities.
However, suppression was less effective than release, and facing Hikari right in front of her, Yukino couldn't hold back the pounding in her heart.
Her Yuki Onna abilities kept passively triggering from time to time, causing her dress to become slightly damp.
The entryway floor became increasingly wet, seemingly about to form a small puddle.
Yukino quickly stood up to prevent her dress from getting completely soaked.
However, even after standing, Yukino found that her Yuki Onna abilities still wouldn't stop.
For some reason, when facing Hikari, she couldn't control her body and couldn't resist activating her abilities.
Her dress became wetter and wetter.
Standing there, Yukino shyly pressed her plump thighs together, hiding her slightly slippery pencil skirt between her legs.
She didn't want Hikari to see her in such an embarrassing state.
But then Yukino suddenly noticed that a small puddle of water had already formed beneath her feet.
'Uh-oh! If Hikari-kun sees this, will he misunderstand and think I'm some indecent woman?'
Thinking of this, Yukino anxiously took a step forward, intending to use her body to cover the conspicuous little puddle.
But she forgot that the water-covered floor was very slippery. As soon as she lifted her foot, she lost her balance and fell forward.
"Ah!"
Yukino instinctively let out a sharp cry but didn't fall onto the cold, hard floor as she imagined. Instead, she landed in a warm, safe embrace.
It turned out that Hikari had quickly caught her.
"Miss Yukino, be careful," Hikari said with a smile as he looked at the clumsy Yukino.
Yukino's pretty face blushed as she nodded. Hikari, after helping her up, withdrew his hand from where it had accidentally rested on her hip. But then he noticed a cool, damp feeling in his palm.
Hikari looked at his palm and saw it was wet and even shiny.
Then, looking at Yukino's beet-red face, Hikari instantly understood.
He chuckled and playfully patted her round hips, teasing, "Miss Yukino, you're really one of a kind. Did you clean the bedsheets from yesterday?"
Having fallen into Hikari's warm embrace, Yukino stayed nestled there.
Resting against his firm chest, she nodded and replied, "Yes, they're clean now. To avoid troubling Hikari-kun, I agreed with Natsuha to each wash one sheet."
Hikari laughed and asked, "Was it exhausting washing the sheets? Why are you wearing clothes that aren't fully dry today?"
Yukino blushed and murmured softly, "They were dry."
Hikari immediately ran his hand over her black stockings and joked, "Then why are they wet again?"
Hearing this, even though Yukino wasn't very good at socializing and was often slow to respond, she immediately realized what he meant.
"Stop it! It's all your fault, Hikari-kun."
"You're always teasing me."
"I'm mad at you now."
Yukino lightly pounded her small fists against Hikari's chest and then buried her head tightly in his embrace. Though she refused to show her face, the redness of her ears and neck gave her away.
This must be the awkward and inexperienced Yuki Onna. Despite her status as a widow and her mature body, her mindset was like that of a girl experiencing her first love—easily flustered and shy.
Just a few words were enough to make her blush deeply, irresistibly endearing and making others want to tease her even more.
Seeing how adorable this widow Yuki Onna was, Hikari couldn't resist either.
He leaned in to kiss her on the cheek, then scooped her up and carried her inside.
They ended up embracing on the sofa together.
When Yukino was ready to accept Hikari's "guidance" on the sofa, he suddenly stopped moving.
Seeing him stop, she became nervous. "W-what's wrong, Hikari-kun? Did I do something to upset or annoy you?"
Having been lonely for decades, Yukino was overly sensitive about Hikari, seeing him as her entire world. She was terrified he might dislike her.
Seeing her anxious expression, Hikari knew she had misunderstood.
He lowered his head, kissed her smooth, jade-like cheek, and explained with a smile, "No, you didn't do anything wrong. I like you very much."
"I stopped because something is about to happen."
"Let's wait a bit. Someone is coming to deliver us a treasure."
Hearing this, Yukino was confused.
To reassure her, Hikari kissed her cheek again.
Feeling his gentleness, Yukino relaxed.
Even though she didn't fully understand what he meant, as long as he didn't dislike her, it was fine.
Feeling his warmth, Yukino grew happier.
Hikari was happy too because he had engraved a "pure love seal" on her the day before.
This allowed his alert tools like the "pure love radar" and "guardian paper crane" to work much better with Yukino.
Thus, when Takahashi obtained the hypnotic ring in the basement earlier and had vile thoughts about Yukino, Hikari sensed it immediately.
Although Takahashi thought his actions were secretive, Hikari had seen through everything.
Normally, Hikari would've dealt with him directly, but Takahashi wasn't much of a threat beyond the ring.
Besides, the basement was dirty and smelly, and Yukino had been waiting for him at home.
So Hikari decided to wait for Takahashi to come to him instead.
Thinking this, he glanced at Yukino, who was gazing at him with sultry eyes, still unaware of what was happening.
Seeing her blushing, adorable face, Hikari couldn't resist leaning in to kiss her deeply.
———
Five minutes later, Hikari was still seated on the sofa, while Yukino had gone to change into another outfit.
Due to her Yuki Onna physiology, coupled with Hikari's overwhelming teasing, even just a kiss could turn her into a sprinkler.
When she returned, dressed in her classic white sweater, blue fitted jacket, and black stockings under a pencil skirt, she leaned on his shoulder and pouted, "Hikari-kun, you're so mean."
"I just met you, and I've already changed clothes twice. In the past few days, it's been seven or eight times. At this rate, I'll run out of clothes."
Hikari laughed, placing a hand on her stocking-clad leg. "Is that my fault? You're the one getting your clothes wet, not me."
"I've held back, or we'd need a new sofa too."
Hearing this, Yukino blushed but quickly added, "Meanie! It's not fair."
Hikari laughed and promised, "Don't worry. I'll take you shopping for new clothes soon. You don't need to pay rent now, and I have savings. It's no big deal."
"Darling, we're rich now."
Hearing this, Yukino's face lit up with joy.
About not having clothes to change into, she had just casually said it to Hikari as a way of acting spoiled, but she hadn't expected that Hikari would really plan to take her to buy clothes or anything like that.
Yukino, who had always been a lonely person, had never experienced this kind of feeling—being able to rely on someone, being cared for by someone. Yukino only felt that her heart as a Yuki Onna, frozen until now, was about to be melted.
She stretched out her jade-like arms, tightly hugging Hikari's waist. Her beautiful face kept rubbing against Hikari's chest.
As she rubbed, her tone was filled with happiness as she said: "Wuu wuu wuu! Hikari-kun, you're so good."
