He was about to choke on the burdock, but Naoya managed to stop himself from doing so, and proceeded to chop the burdock with his knife. It was a strategy to calm his mind through simple work.

Along with that, I also put on a refreshing smile.

"Well, you know, I can teach you how to cook. Why don't you help me out like this again? Maybe you'll just naturally pick it up."

"Well, I suppose. I mean it's a good idea, but won't I just.....get in the way?"

"No, I'm sure Kirihiko-san would love to have you. She lives alone, so she likes it when the house is lively."

"Well.....next time I'll bring some sweets to hang out--"

"Shirogane-san?"

Then Koyuki suddenly fell silent.

The hand holding the peeler also stopped and slumped down, and eventually she spilled a little.

"The Manager, you live alone in this house, right?"

"Ye, yes. She does."

"Then, it's now..."

After gulping, Koyuki's voice trembled.

Her face, which she raised slowly, was as red as a boiled octopus.

"You mean it's just the two of us in this house...?"

"...Sourdough." (Sure enough?)

❄「…………ソウデスネ」❄

She finally noticed it.

Koyuki's shoulders shook with fear and she quickly ran to the nearest wall. She looked like a stray kitten.

"No, um, why are you running away like that...?"

"Be, because..."

Koyuki's gaze wandered from here to there, and in a voice like a mosquito's buzzing, she blurted out.

"Sakuya said, 'The moment we're alone, men turn into wolves, so be careful'..."

"I'm so prejudiced!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Koyuki felt relieved.

"So Sasahara-kun, you don't want to do anything naughty to me or anything like that?"

"Ugh...!"

"What's that reaction?!"

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to.

But I was still a little unprepared to be honest about that.

It wouldn't even be possible for Koyuki to turn red and flustered like this.

"Oh, you're going to do something really naughty, aren't you...!? You are going to do this and that... just like the thin book Sakuya showed me!"

"No, it's a misunderstanding!? What the hell did Sakuya-chan show you!?"

"No, there's no way I'm going to say that! Sasahara-kun Ecchi!"

"I think that's a lot more erotic!"

❄Ecchi/Erotic= Pervert❄

I really have to wonder what these sisters are talking about at home.

But this is getting us nowhere. Naoya let out a big sigh of exhaustion and tried to make his defense.

"I want you to calm down for now. I have no intention of--!"

Then I felt a tingling pain in my fingertips.

It seems that the tip of the knife was snatched when he tried to put it down in a panic. A drop of blood slowly began to appear from the red scar, which was only about two centimeters long.

"Oh, come on....."

"Wait, are you okay!?"

Koyuki, who should have been on guard, rushes over to me.

Seeing Naoya's injury, her face, which had been bright red, instantly turned blue.

"Oh, my god, there's blo...blood...! Was it because I said something weird...!?"

"It's okay, I don't really mind..."

It's not an injury that needs stitches, just wash it off, put a bandage on it, and you're done.

Naoya tried to continue, but the next moment he was speechless.

"Ahmph!"

Koyuki grabbed Naoya's hand tightly and sucked on his finger.

Then she sucked on his fingertips like a baby does. Faced with this daydream-like scene, Naoya could do nothing but freeze.

Koyuki kept his finger in her mouth and looked up at him with a question.

"Fu, are you okay fuifu...?"

"No, I'm sorry. I think your question is a little too naughty or something..."

Looking up to the heavens, Naoya could barely maintain a sense of normalcy. The pain in his fingers was gone in an instant.
