In his past life, Fumiya Jin was taught from a very young age that "food is precious" and "don't waste food." So even if the ice cream looked white and fluffy, as if it would be fun to play with, he never had the thought of squeezing it in his hand for fun. However, thanks to the development of technology and the wisdom of the people, ice cream doesn't have to be ice-cold; it can also be warm. So, at this moment, Fumiya Jin could be said to have fulfilled a childhood fantasy, holding the soft, warm ice cream in his hand and playing with it. However...
Shiina Mashiro didn't seem too happy about it. Because she couldn't draw properly anymore. Her body was trembling.
And so... She finally had to move her gaze away from the digital tablet and looked faintly at Fumiya Jin beside her.
"I want to draw," she said, puffing her cheeks slightly.
"You go ahead and draw," Fumiya Jin said with a straight face. "It's not like I'm stopping you."
"Like this... I... I can't draw well," Shiina Mashiro said.
Drawing requires a steady hand to begin with. But now her hands weren't steady at all, so how could she draw? Draw one stroke, ruin one stroke. All her effort was spent on undoing; it was better not to draw at all.
"Then I'll have to teach you a lesson, little classmate Shiina," Fumiya Jin put on a stern face, looking like an elder lecturing, "As an artist, to create a work with a true soul, you must devote yourself completely and not be disturbed by any external influences. If you can't even ignore this little distraction, how can you draw the best illustrations for my book? It seems you still need practice."
Shiina Mashiro: "..."
Since she was little, many elders had told her she was "too focused on drawing, ignoring everything outside of it." This was the first time someone had told her she wasn't focused enough!
If it were any other distraction, she would of course have no problem at all. Even if she were sitting in the living room with a soccer match blasting on the TV and several family members cheering and discussing wildly beside her, she probably wouldn't even notice, able to easily immerse herself in her own world and draw seriously.
But the problem was—trembling hands, feeling weak—these were physical reactions. How was she supposed to ignore that?
Shiina Mashiro thought seriously for a moment. Then she felt that Fumiya Jin was talking nonsense. But she looked at him, and it seemed he had no intention of giving up easily.
So after thinking for a moment, she said: "I want to make a deal."
"A deal?"
"Let me draw first," said Shiina Mashiro. "After I'm done, I'll find you in the living room."
The girl's words were very brief.
But Fumiya Jin understood in an instant.
Let her draw properly first. After she's done, go to the living room, and he could grope and touch her as he pleased. This sounded like a very tempting proposition...
Daga, koto waru!
"No can do," Fumiya Jin shook his head coldly. "I'm doing this to train your ability to resist distractions. If you finish drawing, I might lose interest."
Shiina Mashiro was speechless.
She looked at Fumiya Jin gloomily for several seconds.
Biting her lip, she said huffily: "Fumiya-san, you're mean."
Fumiya Jin was slightly taken aback. He was suddenly struck by her cuteness.
With such a delicate and cute cat girl beside him, huffily saying such words... it would be strange not to be overwhelmed by her cuteness. Fumiya Jin couldn't help but lower his head and give her a kiss on her fair cheek: "Miss Shiina, so cute."
"Uh..." Shiina Mashiro was stunned for a moment. She stared blankly at Fumiya Jin. A few seconds later, her cheeks, for once, turned slightly red...
You see, although she had blushed before, it was purely for physiological reasons, caused by Fumiya Jin's lewd methods.
But this time, the meaning was clearly not the same.
...
The girl was silent for a moment. Suddenly, she put her digital tablet and stylus aside. Then she turned around and actively snuggled into Fumiya Jin's arms.
This time, it was Fumiya Jin who was at a loss. Catching the girl's soft body, he looked down at her in astonishment and said, "You're not drawing anymore?"
Shiina Mashiro shook her head, "I'll draw after you're done."
Fumiya Jin was immediately displeased. How am I supposed to farm points like this? You see, in just that short while, he had farmed another 4 points of Controllable Sharpness.
If it weren't for the Sharpness, who would be willing to do such a degrading thing? Fumiya Jin thought so righteously, feeling that he should throw the girl in his arms out.
But... He lowered his head and looked at her carefully. Looked at the furry cat ears. Looked at the girl's slightly rosy cheeks. Looked at the fair and beautiful shoulders and collarbones revealed by the slip dress. Looked at the pair of small ice creams that had been actively placed by his hands, available to be kneaded at will.
An improper emotion was stirring in his heart.
"Since you've taken the initiative..."
Ring ring ring ring... The sound of the doorbell suddenly came faintly from downstairs. The doorbell at Fumiya Jin's house was the particularly loud type; it could be heard faintly even in a room on the second floor.
Fumiya Jin instantly sobered up. Sharpness! A lot of Sharpness, delivered right to the door!
Although what's in the bowl is already delicious, he can't let go of what's in the pot. What's more, as a "Sharpness" tree to shake, Ayano Kimishima, who always looked disgusted, was much more effective than Mashiro, who would let him do anything.
"Oh, we have a visitor," Fumiya Jin lifted Shiina Mashiro out of his arms and placed her on the bed. "You can draw in peace, I'll go downstairs to greet them."
As he spoke, Fumiya Jin got off the bed, took out another black-stockinged cat girl outfit from the cardboard box, then walked out of the room, pulled the door shut, and went downstairs without looking back.
"???"
Shiina Mashiro was left stunned on the bed. Like a poor little kitten, suddenly abandoned for no reason.
...
"Creaak—" Fumiya Jin arrived at the entrance hall and opened the main door.
He saw a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair, wearing a Shuchiin Academy uniform and with a signature long cowlick on her head, standing quietly outside. Her face was expressionless, her demeanor cold to the extreme.
Even after the door opened and she saw Fumiya Jin behind it, a faint trace of hostility and disgust flashed deep in her eyes...
Fumiya Jin's perception had always been very sharp, and he immediately caught her gloomy expression. He nodded in satisfaction. Very good, very good! This is the reaction I was looking for!
"You're a little later than I expected," Fumiya Jin smiled.
"Something came up with Lord Gensei, so I was delayed a bit..." Ayano Kimishima explained.
"Alright, no problem. Come on in," said Fumiya Jin.
Ayano Kimishima nodded, entered the door, changed into slippers, and followed Fumiya Jin to the living room.
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
Fumiya Jin pointed at the table, where the black-stockinged cat girl outfit was laid out. "Change into this outfit first."
Ayano Kimishima glanced at it, her small face stiffened slightly, and the last shred of hope in her heart was shattered.
Today, it seemed, her doom was inevitable...
