Chika Konoe was glaring at Toru and Aino with her black eyes, with an icy cold expression on her face.

Chika is a tall, slender beauty, and that’s why she’s so overpowering.

Toru had his hands around Aino’s back and they were almost hugging.

Toru panicked and tried to move away, but Aino grabbed his hand and stopped him.

“Luthi-san?”

“There’s no need to be shy just because Konoe-san is watching us. We’re both engaged to one another.”

“But ……”

Seeing the expression on Chika’s face, which seemed to drop to absolute zero, Toru began to feel scared.

On the other hand, of course, he couldn’t shake off the clinging Aino.

Chika is Toru’s former fiancée, but she doesn’t have any affection for him anymore, in fact she probably hates him.

Aino is right, there is no need to be shy around Chika.

But why does Chika seem to be angry?

“You didn’t hug me when I was your fiancée.”

Chika mumbled in a small voice.

Toru stared back at Chika seriously.

Chika suddenly turned red and stared back at Toru.

“What?”

“No, nothing…….”

In the end, one can never know what’s in another person’s heart.

It is not always possible for Toru to understand Chika.

However, Chika’s words sounded like she wanted Toru to hug her.

That seemed to be the same for Aino.

Aino pulled away from Toru and faced Chika straight on. She gazed at Chika with blue eyes.

“Are you jealous, Konoe-san?”

This was so direct that Toru was startled to see the expression of Aino next to him. Aino was looking at Chika with a very pure, but serious expression.

Fuyuka in the corner of the room was also looking on happily. For now, she has no intention of intervening.

“I wouldn’t be jealous of you.”

Chika said, but there was no room in her expression. It was the first time in a long time that Toru had seen Chika’s impatient and anxious expression.

Unlike the sickly Chika of the past, the Chika of today was a perfect superhuman. She is the daughter of a famous family, has excellent grades and is a beautiful girl that everyone recognizes.

There should be nothing to be afraid of.

However, the current Chika even seems to be scared of something.

Aino looks up at Toru and smiles.

“We can hug another time.”

“Okay?”

“Me and Renjo-kun are engaged, so we can do it anytime. Besides, it’s not good for Konoe-san.”

Aino giggled.

She was worried that Chika would get angry, but Chika gave her a frustrated look and kept her mouth shut.

But then Chika laughed. It’s a bit of a villainous laugh, but Chika is still cute when she does it.

Toru couldn’t help but feel a little shocked.

“But you’ve just met Toru, haven’t you? You’ve never taken a bath together, have you?”

“Oh, of course not.”

Aino’s cheeks reddened, perhaps from her imagination. And then Aino glanced at Toru.

When Toru saw Aino’s slender body, he couldn’t help but imagine them bathing together naked.

Chika seemed to become a little grumpy when she saw them together, but she soon returned to smiling.

“I was not only engaged to this person, but we lived in the same house. We even took baths together.”

Chika said like it was her trump card.

Aino looked aghast and was overcome with a sense of defeat.

(…… What are they fighting about?)

When they think about it calmly, it’s a strange thing.

However, Aino and Chika were completely against each other.

Aino approaches Toru.

“Is it true that you and Konoe-san once took a bath together?”

“Oh, yes, but that was when we were …… children.”

“How old were you when you did that?”

Chika interjected on Toru’s behalf.

“The last time we were together was in the sixth grade, right?”

“Uh, yeah, that’s right.”

Toru had no choice but to nod.

Aino looked shocked and her blue eyes moistened.

“That would make you two a fully fledged boy and girl, wouldn’t it?”

“Yes, yes. Toru was looking at me in a naughty way, you know.”

Chika looked back at Toru happily.

It was disconcerting to hear her call him by his first name in a natural way, “Toru”.

After the engagement was broken off, Chika had always called Toru by his last name, “Renjo-kun”.

And yet, now she calls him by his first name, though it may be unconsciously …….

“I never looked at Konoe-san in a naughty way, I promise.”

“Liar.”

“It’s true.”

“If it’s true, it might piss me off.”

Chika narrowed her eyes and glared at Toru.

Aino was looking at Toru and Chika with tears in her eyes as they exchanged looks.

Aino suddenly grabbed Toru’s arm and squeezed it.

“I’m going to hug you right here!”

“What?”

“And I’m going to live in the same house as Renjo-kun and we’re going to take baths together!”

Toru was about to say that it would be impossible, but was discouraged by the desperate look on Aino’s face.

Chika was proud of her victory, with an expression that said, “I did it”.

However, in the very next moment, the situation was reversed.

Fuyuka, who had been silent until then, suddenly interrupted.

“I like that. Why don’t Toru-kun and Luthi-san take a bath together tomorrow? Maybe you guys can get naked together and deepen your bond as fiancées.”

“”There’s no way possible.””

Toru and Chika’s voices echoed. Then they looked at each other and looked away, embarrassed.

They were childhood friends who had been together for a long time, even though they were apart. Therefore, they think about the same things and their timing is the same.

Fuyuka held up her index finger and smiled.

“I can do it. I’m going to have Toru-kun and Luthi-san live together in the same house tomorrow.”

Fuyuka said, as if it were natural.
