While Louisa was calling for her father, Hikari suddenly rembered that when Miss Mira used to feed him milk, she also made him call her "mommy."
Thinking about that, Hikari inexplicably beca highly enthusiastic back then and went on a frenzy "educating" Louisa. The young lady nearly couldn't handle it.
Recalling that, during such monts, he thought of Miss Mira, who had been so gracious to him.
Because of this, he beca even more excited. Hikari felt deeply guilty and thought he had gone too far, feeling unworthy of facing the respectable Miss Mira.
So today, he decided to head to the Harmony Apartnt to find Mifuyu Yukino and Shinomiya Natsuha.
He wasn't sure if it was due to his improved physical condition or because of thinking about Miss Mira.
Even though he had already "relieved" Louisa both physically and ntally for several hours and had been tested by Principal Rikka for quite so ti.
Yet now, Hikari felt his lower abdon heating up again and couldn't help but salute upward.
Perfect timing—he decided to let Miss Yukino use her Yuki-Onna powers to cool him down and put out the fire.
Just as Hikari was contemplating this, suddenly, his "Pure Love Radar" in his mind reacted.
There was sothing nearby.
———
Since he had been busy all afternoon and was too lazy to cook, Hikari planned to visit the Harmony Apartnt to see Yukino and Natsuha.
But just as he was nearing the apartnt, the "Pure Love Radar" in his head suddenly sounded an alert.
Clearly, a cuckolding incident was about to happen nearby.
Hikari opened the radar map to check and found the red dot symbolizing the cuckolding incident was less than 100 ters away from him.
Looking ahead, a bookstore and a convenience store ca into view.
It was obvious that this incident would occur in one of these two places.
Either the bookstore or the convenience store.
Without hesitation, Hikari quickened his pace toward his target.
———
In a certain convenience store not far from the Harmony Apartnt.
Two pretty high school girls were standing in front of the cash register, working.
The girl on the left was nad Shiori Fuyutsuki. She had naturally curly, slightly wavy, yellow long hair that looked as if it had been styled at a salon.
With this blonde hair, coupled with the slightly disdainful expression she often wore on her delicate face, Fuyutsuki had an appearance and aura that scread "gyaru."
However, at this mont, she was holding a calculator, standing at the register, and skillfully tallying the convenience store's accounts for the day.
Her quick calculations were far beyond what any shallow "gyaru" incapable of doing multiplication over two digits could achieve.
In truth, Fuyutsuki was the complete opposite of her appearance.
Despite looking like a gyaru on the outside, she was a girl who had lost her parents and was now living independently with strength and determination.
Moreover, her academic performance was excellent. She was a high school student aiming to secure a scholarship for further studies through her hard work.
Beside Fuyutsuki stood a twin-tailed girl with waist-length black hair. Her delicate and pale little face, coupled with her long twin ponytails, gave her a strikingly cute appearance.
This twin-tailed girl was nad Nakaizumi Yui, a distant cousin of Fuyutsuki.
Though a bit tsundere and naive, she was also diligently working part-ti to earn enough for the living expenses and tuition of herself and her mother.
Now that Fuyutsuki, who had lost her parents, was living with Nakaizumi Yui and her mother, the three of them ford a small household.
Putting down the calculator, Fuyutsuki stretched her sore fingers.
She turned to Nakaizumi Yui and said, "Yui, I've finished the accounts. Let's go ho."
Yui, who had already finished her tasks, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go ho."
"See you later, Uncle Yoshihiro!" Yui cheerfully waved at the store manager, who was sitting on a chair nearby. This man, nad Shimoda Yoshihiro, was also Yui's uncle.
Seeing Yui's innocent smile and the way her twin ponytails swayed, the greasy and obese Shimoda Yoshihiro wiped his mouth hastily and waved back. "See you, Yui!"
"Hmph!"
Fuyutsuki snorted coldly, showing no intention of greeting Yoshihiro. In fact, her gaze toward him was filled with disdain.
Unlike the slightly naive and slow-witted Yui, Fuyutsuki, who had grown up on her own, was more mature and observant than her peers.
During her recent part-ti shifts at the convenience store, she had often caught Yoshihiro leering at her body with a disgusting gaze.
She understood all too well the aning behind that revolting look.
Even worse, Yoshihiro's lecherous gaze wasn't limited to her. He often ogled at his own niece, Yui, in the sa creepy manner.
This repulsed Fuyutsuki, making her dislike the already pig-like Yoshihiro even more.
Thus, she never greeted him and kept a close watch to guard against his potential cris.
Yoshihiro, aware of Fuyutsuki's disdain, secretly bore a grudge against her. Still, he kept up appearances, unwilling to confront her openly.
Unaware of the tension, Yui cheerfully grabbed Fuyutsuki's arm and prepared to head ho.
However, as they reached the door, Yoshihiro suddenly called out, "Wait! Fuyutsuki-chan."
Fuyutsuki frowned and turned around. "What is it, you creepy old man? Stop staring at us with those disgusting eyes. And don't call Fuyutsuki-chan."
Yoshihiro's face flashed with irritation but quickly shifted to an awkward smile. "Oh, Fuyutsuki-chan, don't say such things. I'm just trying to remind you—you might have forgotten sothing."
After thinking for a mont, Fuyutsuki said to Yui, "We forgot to take today's bento."
"Yui, you go ho first. I'll grab it and catch up."
Yui nodded and walked out, leaving Fuyutsuki to retrieve the bento.
Watching the two girls part ways, Yoshihiro's face twisted into a perverse smile as his lecherous eyes lingered on Fuyutsuki's legs beneath her uniform skirt.
"Heh, soon I'll eat this sharp-tongued high school girl. Just you wait, Fuyutsuki-chan!" he muttered under his breath.
On the other side, Shiori Fuyutsuki naturally had no idea about Yoshihiro's whispered mutterings behind her back.
At this mont, she had just reached the storage lockers at the convenience store.
For the past few days, every ti after work, Yoshihiro would take out the unsold bento boxes from the store and have the staff take them ho to dispose of them after their shifts.
For Shiori Fuyutsuki and Nakazumi Yui, who were struggling financially, these leftovers naturally beca their dinners at ho.
Arriving at the storage locker where the half-priced bentos were usually kept, Shiori Fuyutsuki opened the door and reached in to take out the bag inside.
After closing the locker door, she carried the bag, planning to head ho as usual.
However, after just two steps, a wide, obese figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Yoshihiro?" Shiori Fuyutsuki was startled.
"Fuyutsuki, can't you be a little more polite and call Manager?" Shimoda Yoshihiro said in a displeased tone.
"Hmph!" Shiori Fuyutsuki couldn't be bothered to respond and prepared to leave directly.
However, at that mont, Yoshihiro suddenly reached out to block her path. "Wait!"
Shiori Fuyutsuki frowned and looked at Yoshihiro. "Manager, what do you an by this?"
A sly smile suddenly appeared on Shimoda Yoshihiro's face,"Fuyutsuki-chan, the manager can't let you steal from the store and take things ho, you know."
Hearing this, Shiori Fuyutsuki's face turned grim. She quickly opened the bag and said, "These half-priced bentos you told us to take ho after our shifts to deal with, weren't they? What do you an by stealing…"
While opening the bag, Shiori Fuyutsuki spoke confidently and loudly, planning to lay out the half-priced bentos in front of Shimoda Yoshihiro and harshly scold this sleazy man.
But when she opened the bag, she froze.
Because inside the bag, instead of the familiar half-priced bentos from the previous days, there were fresh full-priced bentos, along with several pieces of expensive Wagyu beef and other items.
In short, what she was holding were definitely not the half-priced bentos ant to be disposed of, but fresh goods worth several tis more in value.
"This, this, this…"
Looking at the items in the bag, Shiori Fuyutsuki couldn't believe her eyes. Her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Seeing the stunned expression on Shiori Fuyutsuki's face, Yoshihiro secretly felt smug, but he put on an angry face and said, "Fresh caviar bentos, expensive Wagyu beef, tsk tsk tsk! I was wondering why a batch of valuable goods suddenly went missing from the store today. So it was you stealing from within."
"To think I trusted Yui and you, who are like nieces to , and this is how you repay ."
"Thieves! You're nothing but thieves, both of you!"
Yoshihiro pointed at Shiori Fuyutsuki's nose and scolded her.
Shiori Fuyutsuki hurriedly defended herself. "No! What we took were clearly the half-priced bentos to be disposed of, not these things."
Yoshihiro sneered coldly. "The evidence is right here, and you're still trying to argue? Look at what's in your hands."
"I… I…" Shiori Fuyutsuki was at a loss for words.
"Co with !", Yoshihiro turned and walked away with an expressionless face.
Watching Yoshihiro's obese back disappearing quickly, Shiori Fuyutsuki felt an ominous sense of foreboding.
A storm seed to be brewing, and she couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in her heart.
After hesitating for a mont, Shiori Fuyutsuki still decided to follow Yoshihiro. After all, she didn't know what else to do at the mont.
The two of them soon entered the manager's office in the convenience store.
Sitting in the chair, Yoshihiro crossed his legs and glared at Shiori Fuyutsuki with a nacing expression. "I didn't expect it, I really didn't. A high school girl who looks so pure on the outside is actually a thief."
"At the ti, I only recomnded you to the boss because you looked innocent and pure, plus Yui's introduction. That's how you got this job. And now you've committed such a disgraceful act. I'm really disappointed."
"You always wore that sour face while working, and now I find out you were stealing too."
Unable to bear Yoshihiro's unilateral accusations, Shiori Fuyutsuki shouted, "I told you, I didn't steal anything! Are you even listening to ?"
Hearing Shiori Fuyutsuki's words, Yoshihiro suddenly sneered. "Oh? You're still denying it, are you?"
"You were caught red-handed by , with the stolen goods in your hands."
"I've been trying to avoid making this a big deal, but if you refuse to admit it, I'll report this to the police."
Hearing this, Shiori Fuyutsuki, still just a high school girl, panicked a little. Lowering her head, she nervously said, "I'm sorry… but I really didn't steal anything."
Yoshihiro sneered again. "If this matter is reported to the police and the boss, you'll not only be suspended but may even be expelled from school. And it might also cause trouble for my sister, who's been looking after you. She might lose her job as well."
"What? Not only will I be expelled, completely lose my scholarship eligibility, and miss out on future educational opportunities, but Auntie might also suffer?"
Yoshihiro's words hit Shiori Fuyutsuki's soft spot, and she began to panic.
Seeing her flustered state, Yoshihiro continued to sneer. "You've made such a serious mistake, and yet you show no remorse. It seems I have no choice but to hand you over to the police."
At these words, Shiori Fuyutsuki was utterly terrified.
Even though she was absolutely sure she hadn't stolen anything, she couldn't explain herself now. She couldn't cut herself open to prove her innocence to Yoshihiro, who had "caught her red-handed."
Facing Yoshihiro's relentless pressure and imminent threats, Shiori Fuyutsuki could only lower her head and admit defeat.
