Yu had decided to stay in Miko's house after thinking thoroughly, albeit in reluctance. He had to return to his own apartment first to take a shower and to bring along his own things that he needed when staying at her house for the three consecutive days, especially his gaming console and manga.

After he was done with all of these, he left his apartment and headed into the quiet street for her house wearing his pyjamas, with a wheeled luggage that he was bringing along that contained his belongings as he dragged it on the road. When he arrived, he rang the doorbell to notify the house's only occupant while waiting outside at the gate.

"Coming!" Miko told him through the door phone that was installed along with the doorbell at the gate's wall. Moments later the gate opened automatically at the same time she appeared at the front door.

"Want me to help?"

"It's okay, I can take them myself. So where do I sleep?" He asked while carrying his belongings into the living room.

"Anywhere would be fine, you can sleep in one of the guest rooms, or maybe on the couch in the living room."

"Hmm, I guess I'll sleep in the guest room then."

As she was about to go to the kitchen, she asked him beforehand, "Want me to get you a drink?"

"No thanks, I am not thirsty," he declined her offer, and she then told him, "Alright, then please wait for me here..."

Yu waited in the living room sitting on the couch while Miko had headed into the kitchen. A short while later she came back and called him, "Hey, let's go now. I'm gonna show you one of the guest rooms."

"Oh, okay," he nodded and stood from the couch while pulling his luggage again to follow her, where she had led him to a room downstairs in the hallway area instead of going upstairs.

"This is where you would be sleeping in," she stated while showing him around the room. Yu glanced the room back and forth, admiring its pleasant atmosphere.

"So, how is it?"

"It looks nice and comfy. To be honest, I would rate it higher than my own bedroom though."

"Jeez," she snickered afterward, and asked, "An otaku like you surely has a messy room."

"That's harsh for you to say that, after I've genuinely complimented you."

"I'm sorry..." She apologized for making fun of him. He sighed while crouching down as he opened his luggage

"H-hey..." She called him again, and he hummed "hmm" in response as he looked back toward her. She proceeded to turn around a strain of her hair in circle with her finger due to feeling slightly nervous as she was asking him, "If you don't mind, can I sleep with you together in this room?"

He instinctively opened his eyes widely along with a sudden blush on his cheeks. "W-with you?!"

"Y... y-yes..." She nodded while looking down to the floor in shyness, this time fidgeting her fingers. "If you are okay with that."

"But what if I cannot control my urge and ended up doing something you?"

She looked at him especially shocked when he had told her this, resulting in her freezing in place and became quiet. Gradually, her face became increasingly red until it had made her looked like a plain tomato.

"Miko-chan, what's wrong?"

"Arrrgghhh!!" She let out a high-pitched scream while grabbing her own head and shook in tension. "Anyway, I am going to sleep with you, whether you like it or not!"

Eh, seriously? He thought in question. Miko then pointed at Yu and told him, "I am going to get myself ready first, just sort out all of your things and put on your pyjamas while you wait for me here."

Soon after, she stormed out of the room and left.

"Hn," he grunted and shrugged off. He first opened the wardrobe to find that it was empty inside. Checking every corners in the wardrobe, he found them to be surprisingly clean and well-maintained.

Woah, she did actually cleaned it even though she was all alone in the house without having any maid to do it for her. This is amazing.

He proceeded to take out all of his clothing from the luggage and put them into the wardrobe in order. After that, he went into the bathroom to put his soap on the shelf there, followed by his toothbrush, face cleanser and finally his face cream.

I guess that's about it he thought. He exited the bathroom and closed his luggage, then putting it beside a drawer next to the bed. He sat on the couch and began wondering what Miko was really up to. The thought of him sharing the same bed with his girlfriend had him very concerned, especially when he could have the urge to do something to her, in which he didn't wish to see it happening anytime soon.

Now it's just too late to turn back now. Since he had already agreed to stay the night at her house, he should be expected to comply with any of her request where she saw fit. If she insisted on sleeping with him, then so be it. But how about him? What should he do next? Yu had no idea, hence he would just have to wait to see how it would go later on.

The door knocked, and he responded by saying, "Come in." There appeared his girlfriend, with her hair now untied and let loose to be straight. In this way she looked more beautiful than she usually appeared, which made him continuously staring at her without breaking eye contact.

"W-what're you looking at?" She asked while looking away in embarrassment. He replied, "Nothing. But are you really sure that you want to sleep here with me?"

"Of course, I-I have already decided!"

She really insisted. He sighed and told her as he tapped his left hand on the surface of the bed, "Alright, fine. Come and get on this bed with me."

"Uh, um..." She nodded and went to switch off the lights, then approached, lying herself onto the bed next to him and faced directly to the ceiling. Yu moved himself to lie on the bed and also looked at the ceiling with her, covering both him and his girlfriend with the blanket to keep themselves warm.

"This is kinda wrong, isn't it?" He asked.

"Um, it does for a bit... Especially when it is my first time sleeping with a boy."

"So, um... Are you going to sleep?"

"Uh... uhm... Yeah, so good night..." She nodded.

The two of them soon got quiet, with the silence filling the entire room awkwardly. Miko tilted her body to face sideway from Yu while he continued lying against his back on the soft surface of the bed, looking toward the ceiling. Just like last time, he could not fall to sleep at the presence of his girlfriend who was just next to him, even though he had been trying to.

The last time when he couldn't sleep was due to him subconsciously remembering her emotional breakdown, but this time was because he had felt the temptation to have sex with her. Images of him sharing the "romance" with his girlfriend kept crossing his mind but he still tried his very best to restrain himself from actually doing it to her.

30 minutes had passed and he was still wide awake. Each passing seconds had him getting more and more unsettled, with his body getting increasingly uncomfortable. He really wanted to "take" her but could not bring himself to. At least, he can try to touch her just by a tiny bit...

No, fuck no! Who am I to do this to an innocent girl like her?! He reprimanded himself, deciding to not lay a finger onto her. But his lust was now slowly killing him from the inside.

-11.21 PM-

15 more minutes had passed. By this time he had reached the limits of his self-control, and his temptation took over. He straightened up and looked over to Miko, who was seemingly sleeping comfortably. He gulped and made the move for it, grabbing her shoulder and turning her from the side, only to discover that she was also still awake.

"What?!" He looked in shock, and immediately she pulled him close to her, and her left leg went to wrap around his right leg from under as she hugged him tightly. Before he realized, she had gone in to kiss his lips.

Initially not being able to move a single muscle as it happened just so abruptly before he could have the time to respond. But shortly after he had managed to regain control of himself and went for it, sticking his tongue inside of her mouth and rolled around hers. A minute later he changed position to go on top of her as they continued kissing while he firmly pressed both of her hands against the bed. The kiss went on for the next five minutes, and then they stopped as Yu pulled out his tongue and took a breath.

"Pfff..." Yu snickered and chuckled, followed by Miko as she giggled for a bit.

Yu went toward to resume kissing her again, this time attacking her tongue aggressively and exchanging some delicate saliva with her. Meanwhile he grabbed her clothing and pulled it upward, before inserting his left hand to caress her belly, then slowly moving up to grab her breast, and her body jolted as a result.

"Yu-kun, this is ticklish..." She complained as she grabbed his hand that was touching her breast. Ignoring her, he had continued fondling her breast as well as softly squeezing her nipple while moving his head downward to kiss her neck. With these combination, she had felt even more pleasured, and yearned for him to further than that. She then titled her head slightly backward when he began licking her throat and naturally moaned quietly.

That was when he knew that Miko wanted him to do more for her. Hence, he purposely shifted his left hand down and went under her pants, being able to quickly find his way into her forbidden area and slowly stroked its surface, causing her to clench both of her legs in sensitivity. He stopped licking and looked straight into her eyes as he told her, "Relax, Miko-chan."

She bit her lower lips tightly while nodding at him in compliance, and slowly stretched her legs outward for a bit while trying to calm herself. After a few gentle strokes, his fingers finally went into her and began thrusting. In response, her moan had gotten clearer and sounded seemingly more desparate. He started off slowly to allow her to get accustomed first, and gradually he increased his thrusting as she became able to enjoy the experience.

"Miko-chan, please allow me to strip your clothes off," he asked her in the middle of the act, and she nodded while moaning even louder. He then went on to open the buttons on her pyjamas one by one with his right hand. Once he had opened all of them, he spread out the clothing to leave her bare chests exposed, then sucked out her nipples without any hesitation, further agitating her in the process. With both her vagina and her breast being stimulated, Miko was almost reaching the state of nirvana, where she could feel her body being filled up with the rush of adrenaline and dopamine.

More, more! She thought, wishing for Yu to do more in order to make her feel even better than she currently was. To achieve her desire, she had decided to moan louder and louder, loud enough for him to hear and also loud enough for the entire room to be echoing with her voices as a way of telling him to do so. But apparently he had misinterpreted it and thus slowed down his finger's thrusting for a bit, much to her displease as she smacked his shoulders while yelling, "Don't fucking slow down, keep your pacing!"

As she had instructed, he followed suit and returned to the previous pace. Soon his fingers had gotten tired from mercilessly massacring her vagina and he stopped, deciding to take a very short break while he had cracked his knuckles.

"I want to do it with you right now," he said while taking his clothes off. It was unclear if Miko had paid attention to what he was saying, given that she had been very weakened and exhausted from his abuses just earlier as she helplessly laid on the bed.

Once taking off his shirt and pants, he proceeded in pulling down her also, fully revealing her sacred core. Before he went to insert his erected penis, he wore the condom that he had taken from his sister's bedroom before he departed for Miko's house, just in case if they had sex, in which they both were already doing now.

He spread both of her legs outward and slowly entered inside of her, beginning to move his hip to the front to back, and back to front in repeat.

Oh Kami-sama, what is this feeling? Her pussy is so soft and silky...

This feels amazing! Great, just keep it this way!

She moaned and he groaned repeatedly. The sensation just felt so good that it could not be described with words, nor could they both imagined what it was really like. The more he had kept going, the more she had wanted to submit herself to him.

He leaned his chest against hers, and she cuddled back while wrapping her legs around his lower back in return.

"I want you to make me a child," he made a dirty whisper into her right ear.

"No... I am not ready to become a mother yet..."

"Yes, you will..." He kissed her again with his tongue out, suppressing her loud moan to quite sighing as a result. Meanwhile he had also grabbed her breasts to further intensify her pleasure. At this point she was essentially powerless to do anything, and could only hope for him to finish her entirely with a good ending.

Approximately ten minutes later, Yu had reached the climax of his orgasm, meaning that he was going to ejaculate very soon.

"Brace yourself, I am going to shoot..." He warned her, and she nodded in understanding while replying, "Come on, do it..."

He sped up his thrust amid the incoming ejaculation, and now moaned almost as loud as Iino. With his penis thrusting faster and more intense, it drove her mind closer to insanity, and her body felt too good to be able to handle any more pleasure. They held and gripped each other's hands so tight that Miko could feel a slight pain on both of her knuckles, but subconsciously ignored it simply because she was too overwhelmed to even care about it.

"I am going to cum inside!" He yelled in desperation. Soon enough, he had ejaculated inside of her, with his condom still intact. It felt really great for him to be able to release all of it, and he was completely satisfied. Pulling out, he had noticed how unrecognizable her vagina looked from the beginning when he first saw it before the real sex. And this proved to him that he had taken his virginity, and he was the first person to do so. A total victory for Ishigami himself.

He took off the now dirty condom to see if it had been teared. Upon checking it he was relieved to see that there wasn't any single hole, otherwise he might have impregnated her, something that he did not wish to see happening. He walked away from the bed to throw the condom away into a nearby rubbish bin, then came back to find Miko apparently still lying on the bed while panting as she tried to catch her breath. Seeing his girlfriend's gorgeously naked body had turned him on again, with his penis coming back to erection. He reached for a new condom from his luggage, wore it and then slowly approached her, like a hungry wolf sneaking toward its vulnerable prey on its hunting ground.

"What are you doing?" She asked. He grinned sadistically as he told her, "Ready for round two?"

Iino Miko totally did not expect this. But who was she to oppose this idea? She was fully prepared to have her own body being used by her beloved boyfriend for the second time.

"I am ready..." She said quietly. He chuckled and lifted her legs up, inserting his penis into her and they started horsing around on the bed, again.

Sunday, 7.42 AM.

Miko woke up to find herself being cuddled by Yu like a teddy bear. She slowly readjusted her position to look at him, seeing how his left eye had been fully exposed as his bang was leaning toward to the side. She kept staring and admiring his attractive face for quite some times, and thought that he looked so cute when he was sleeping soundly.

As he woke up and slowly opened his eyes, he saw her smiling kindly, which made him snickered.

"Good morning," she greeted, and he greeted back. She sat up and leaned against the head of the bed while covering her body with the blanket.

"Yesterday was fun..."

"Yeah... I strongly agree," he replied to her. "I enjoyed every single moment of it until the very last. Fucking you in the pussy was a great feeling."

"Hey, don't say that!" She hissed with a frown.

"Ah, sorry," he apologized while chuckling. He stood up from the bed to pick his briefs from the floor and wore it on.

"So, you or me first to take the bath?" He asked.

"Hmmm... perhaps the both of us can shower together."

Great, you made the right choice to invite me for the shower!

The two of them sat on the bathtub, but rather than hugging they leaned against each other's backs due to embarrassment despite that they both already had sex before.

"Wow, I cannot believe that it ended up like this."

"O-of course it would be like this, since you don't dared to come and hug me!" She retorted, clearly upset at her boyfriend for his unwillingness to hug her.

"I am just trying to contain my arousal though... If I do that, I am afraid that I won't be able to control my urge and ended up fucking you in the middle of shower."

"You, arrghh..." She sighed off disappointingly, and replied, "Fine, fair enough, since you have no more condom with you."

She stayed quiet for a while, prompting him to restart the conversation to end the silence by asking, "Are you angry with me?"

"Why would I? I am not that ill-tempered. It's just... I have no idea how to start talking with you again for now..."

"Then I'll talk with you."

She turned her head to the back over her left shoulder to glance at him as she asked, "So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Right, Miko-chan. Were you also tempted to have sex with me as well?"

"Oh..."

"I mean, when I turned you around by your shoulder, you were also wide awake, and then you pulled me in to kiss me."

"Uh... Maybe I was tempted. With you by my side on the same bed, I could not sleep well, and my body felt so wrong there."

So you had the same feeling as me huh... "But that was worth it. We were both dying to have sex with each other, it seemed."

Silence reemerged again, until she called him, "Hey, Yu-kun..."

"Yes?"

"Am I... your first?" She asked shyly.

"What do you mean as "my first"? Is it about sex?"

"Of course, silly."

He chuckled again, then sighed quietly as he titled his head above, "Yes, you are. My first kiss was you, and the first person I ever gave my virginity to was you as well."

"Oh, is that so... That is the same for me as well. But what about your ex, you didn't do anything with her before?"

"I had only held her hand and that's it."

"Really? Thank Kami-sama... Now can you tell me why you broke up with her?" She asked in curiosity.

"It's because I am totally not fit for her. Me and her had very few things in common, and we both were not on the same page with each other. So that's why we broke up."

"Huh... I think that's not the full story of how you and your ex broke up, right?"

"Whether it's the full story of it or not is no longer important. Right now the only girl that I love and care about is you, Miko-chan."

He suddenly turned his body around and pulled her close to him, startling her. As he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and resting his head beside hers, she felt both nervous and embarrassed.

"Relax, I am not going to do anything to you. Given the situation, I can fuck you again at anytime but I am now trying my hardest to not do that, because I valued you over my own lust."

His right hand moved from her shoulder and suddenly grabbed her breast, causing her to squeal in shock, and he teased, "But don't get me too excited, or else I would change my mind and possibly get you pregnant here."

Her heartbeat became increasingly fast as she had gotten heated up. Yu could feel her heartbeat too while he was caressing her breast, and knowing that he had been making her uncomfortable, he withdrew his hand and went back to hugging her normally to allow her to calm herself for a bit. A short while later she forced herself out of his embrace and hurriedly left the bathtub.

"Oi, where are you going?"

"I am going somewhere else to calm myself first. What you did back there was pretty intense!" She exclaimed while slightly panting, then took a towel and left the bathroom.

"Huh..." He shrugged and continued sitting in the bathtub comfortably. Recalling her reaction earlier, he had thought that she looked really cute.

Exiting his room as he went to the living room in search for his girlfriend, he had smelled a delicious food scent coming from the kitchen nearby.

It smelled good, was Miko-chan actually cooking?

He followed the smell and reached the kitchen. True enough, Miko was toasting the breads while cooking eggs on a saucepan. He looked around to also see some veggies, tomatoes tuna and butter jams being prepared there.

"You are preparing breakfast?" He asked, jumping her for a bit as she didn't expect his presence, "Ah... Yes, I am!"

"Making sandwich as usual, but this time you are toasting the breads," he said while nodding as he felt impressed.

The toaster had finished toasting the slices of breads and ejected them.

"Can you please put those toasted breads on the plate along with the others?" She requested, and he gave her the 'OK' hand gesture as he heeded her instruction and did so. Since the recently toasted breads were very hot, he had to pick them up with his fingertips and carefully placed them on the plate.

"Now put the last two in the toasters also, then help me to put those ingredients together to make sandwiches."

"Roger that," he complied and helped her to make sandwiches in the kitchen. After all of it was done, they served the foods on the dining table, then sat on the opposite to each other.

"Itadakimasu," they both murmured while clasping their hands together before eating the breakfast.

"Actually, I have been learning how to cook recently..." Miko said.

"Oh really? So what food have you learned?"

"I was learning the fried rice that you had cooked for me earlier."

"The oyako fried rice? That's nice. So how was your progress?"

"I have just learned it four days earlier, and I think I can cook it, but I am not confident enough to tell you that it would probably taste good."

Yu smirked upon hearing her timid statement and titled his head to the right side just slightly as he assured her, "Don't worry. With me serving as your food mentor here, I can help to make sure that you will cook a good fried rice."

"Please do! I am planning to cook the rice tonight, so maybe you can watch how I cooked my fried rice."

"I will," he stated while crossing his arm and leaned on his chair. "If I see any mistake regarding your cooking, I will tell and correct you."

She smiled and thanked him, then resumed to eat her breakfast along with Yu.

"The egg tasted good. Well done, Miko-chan."

"It does? Thank goodness! Here, have some more of it," she reached for an extra egg from another plate and gave it to him.

"Thanks, I really appreciate it," he thanked her. Seeing him enjoying her foods had made her felt genuinely happy. Since the breakfast was a success, she was determined to do her best to also successfully cook her fried rice for him later in the dinner.

Under both of their own disguises, Yu and Miko headed out to downtown Tokyo to go to a shopping mall. There, they had went to a few clothing shops and bought several new clothes and some accessories for themselves and for each other. They also had tried on some funny clothings to humour one another, though in the end they didn't really buy them.

After that, they went to watch a romantic film in the cinema that was on the last floor of the mall where the two of them intentionally sat on the back row where it lacked people there so that they could secretly exchange kisses in the middle of the movie.

"Whoosh! I have a really great time watching that movie!" Miko exclaimed, and he agreed by replying, "Me too. They really did so well in filming this movie."

"That final scene where the male protagonist was bidding farewell to the female protagonist when he was leaving for Ireland was so emotional that I burst into tears along with the other audiences!"

"Mah, that scene almost had me..."

"But I didn't see you crying!" She told him angrily while pointing her finger at him. "You seemed so chill, like you did not cared about how sad it was!"

"Hey, listen... My heart did felt like getting seriously hit when that scene played out," he tried to calmly reason with her

"Is that so? But you looked naturally calm back there. Were you really feeling sad during that particular scene?!"

"Well, I wasn't trying to lie to you. But I really have no idea why I didn't cry. My heart had ached so much that my face was tingling and I had wanted to tear up, but for some reasons I just couldn't cry," he held his palm onto his heart as he explained, then smirked and added, "Perhaps I have forgot how to cry."

Hearing him saying it had made Miko worried for a bit. Convinced by his words, she stopped questioning him in childish tantrum and instead looked toward him sympathetically.

"You know, Yu-kun..." She reached for him and held his right hand. "I think it must have been very hard for you to not able to cry when you are supposed to at the time."

Her other hand gently touched his chest, while saying, "I too had been keeping all of the emotions inside and put up a tough act in front of other people, and honestly, it was painful."

Miko-chan...

"But now is not the time for us to be sad and depressed!" She told him while punching him in the abdomen with weak force, adding, "Let's be happy again and continue on our date, shall we?"

"Ah yeah, I am kinda hungry now. So let's find someplace to eat lunch."

"Right, just follow me. I know a place here for us to enjoy delicious lunch!" She exclaimed excitedly while pulling him to follow her to a direction. But while they were heading toward the restaurant where Miko was taking Yu to, they stumbled upon a fan meeting conference in the middle of the mall which was crowded with people queueing up to meet their idol.

"Hey, Yu-kun. Wanna see what's going on there before we go?"

"Yeah, let's see what's in there," he agreed and the couple soon approached closer to the place of the conference. There, they saw a young boy signing the autographs for his fans while giving friendly smiles and gestures to each one of them as they were fawning over him.

"Who is that boy? He looks famous, right Yu-kun?"

She received no response from him, prompting her to ask him again, "Hey, did you hear me?" Once she turned to look at him, she saw him quietly staring at the boy with his blank, yet seemingly upset expression. "Yu-kun, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's continue to the restaurant you want to take me to," he said as he held her hand.

"Uh... okay, let's go," she continued walking with him to the other direction away from the place. Just as they were about to leave, Miko had heard many of the fans yelling out Yu's family name, at the same time with the others screaming his first name "Rikuo" in excitement.

Ishigami... Rikuo? She turned behind to glance at the boy, then looked back to his boyfriend, discovering how that boy's face had resembled Yu, thus allowing Miko to conclude herself that they were both related as brothers, given that Yu and him shared the last name, and noticing how Yu had also looked slightly perturbed when looking at the boy just earlier.

"Yu-kun, ahhh..."

"Ahh..." Yu opened his mouth to let Miko feed him with the ice cream, and as soon as she inserted the spoon into his mouth, he immediately ate the ice cream on the spoon away, and she pulled it away while giggling at the view of her boyfriend eating in his cute, child-like expression.

"There is a cream on your lips, Yu-kun. Come on, lemme help wipe it off," she stood up and leaned toward him to wipe his lips with a tissue.

"There, there, you eat like a child, you know."

"Alright, you haven't tasted mine. So let me feed you with this in return," he replied while taking a small part of his own ice cream and pointed it toward her with his spoon. "Now, say ahh..."

"Ahhh..." As she thought he was going to feed her, in reality he had tricked her and went to eat it instead, agitating her as a result, "Hey, that's mean!"

"Nah, I was just joking with you. Come on, take a bite," he went to feed her again, but she refused and crossed her arms in disapproval.

"Hey, I am seriously going to feed you this time. So come here and eat it," he persuaded. Looking at him in a frown, she grunted 'hn' and quickly ate it away from his spoon. Having been satisfied with the ice cream's flavour as she tasted it, she murmured, "It's shooo guuud~"

He chuckled and commented, "You looked more like a child than I do."

"Now is my turn!"

"Wait, wait. How about we feed each other at the same time?"

"Sounds great, let's do this!" She agreed to his suggestion and proceeded to take a piece of her ice cream again with her spoon, with Yu doing the exact same thing. They then slowly raised their spoons toward each other as they were going to feed one another, and then ate at the same time.

'Hmmm!" He moaned in pleasure while nodding his head slightly as he was eating the ice cream. "Eating ice cream right after the main dish is the best feeling ever."

"I agree!" She happily said out loud, and giggled along with him.

Unbeknownst to them, there were two persons on a table nearby who had been observing them for quite a while as the couple were having their lovey-dovey moments in the restaurant. One of them was Rei herself, and the other one who was rather mysterious that wore a black jacket along with a black cap which was titled downward to partially hide her eyes.

"So that's Ishigami, huh... If you didn't tell me, I would not know that it was really him..." Rei told the girl in black in front of her.

"Everytime he goes outside, he would wear the makeup to hide his identity for sure," the girl explained.

"And who is that girlfriend of his?" She asked the girl again, only to have her shaking her head, telling Rei that she didn't know either. Rei looked closely toward Miko, and upon close observation, she had been reminded of somebody she was seemingly familiar with, but could not think of who that person really was in her mind.

I think I have seen that girl before, but who is she anyway?! Why does she looked so familiar? She thought in confusion.

The girl in black muttered, "So he has really moved on and got a new girlfriend." She clenched onto her pants and tightened her lips, appearing saddened.

"You should just give up now, since you are no longer a part of his heart," Rei suggested while sighing. The girl made no attempt to retort nor replying to her as she was watching the couple in silent. Later when Yu and Miko were leaving, she immediately stood up to follow them, only to be stopped by Rei when she held her hand, "Where are you going?! You should just leave the two of them alone!"

"I ain't going to do anything to them!" She snapped, causing Rei to pause in shock. "I am just following them, see what they are up to next."

The girl pulled her hand away from Rei's grip and hurriedly walked away. Groaning in disgrunted, Rei proceeded to follow her as well while warning, "Just don't do anything stupid!"

The two of them stalked both Ishigami and Iino from a safe distance without being spotted for the remainder of their date. After leaving the restaurant, they first followed them into a amusement arcade within the shopping mall where they had been watching them playing games there for a little over an hour, then they went to a bookstore, with Yu buying his manga while Miko had bought a stack of revision books for the Science, English and Mathematics subjects.

Soon when they left the shopping mall, they continued following the couple, where they next headed to a nearby convenience store. Just as the girl in black attempted to follow them inside, Rei immediately grabbed her by the shoulder to stop her and advised against her reckless move, "Don't go in there. You do not want them to get suspicious of you, do you?"

The girl finally listened to her, albeit in reluctance. Having no choice, she could only look over the store from a building block on the opposite side of the road, waiting for Yu and his girlfriend Miko to exit the store after buying things there.

"So, what do you want to buy?" Yu asked Miko, and she replied while looking around the store, "I am just going to look around here, and you?"

"You know what I'll buy..." He told her in a grin, and she still could not understand what he was trying to tell her. Yu walked toward the counter while she searched around the shelves.

"Um, excuse me, miss. Do you sell some "protection" here?" Yu whispered to the cashier.

"Uhh... W-we uh... Ahem!" The cashier cleared her throat after stuttering, and was noticeably embarrassed as she covered her mouth briefly to hide her brush, before straightening herself up and asked, "Can you please show me your identity card?"

He sighed in annoyance and immediately pulled out his wallet, taking out fifty thousand yen to be given to the cashier as a bribe and telling her, "I am willing to pay you this much if you could just let me buy those condoms."

She widened her eyes upon seeing the large amounts of cash on his hand that he had attempted to bribe her with, and without any hesitation, quickly.took the money with both hands while bowing at him in respect, "Thank you, I will gladly sell the condoms to you."

"Also, can I have at least twenty percent of discounts for a package of condoms?"

"With pleasure," she moved to open the shelf behind her and took out a package and placed them onto the counter table.

"With the discounts, that would be three hundred and fifty yen."

"Here," he paid the cashier with the money, and after receiving his change and his receipt along with a plastic bag to put his package of condoms inside, he left the counter to look for his girlfriend, who was still looking around in the store. When they reunited, she told him, "I guess I having nothing to buy here. How about you, what have you bought?"

"Come here and take a look at this," he asked while waving at her to approach him. When she walked toward him, he had shown her the product he had bought just earlier, discovering that he had bought new condoms. He chuckled when he saw her getting shy as her face turned fully red, and joked, "Get ready for tonight, we will be playing games on the bed just like yesterday."

"You pervert!" She hissed and slapped his arm, frowning her eyes upon him, before bursting into a suppressed laughter as she bashfully covered her entire face, and her boyfriend laughed along as well. Afterward, the couple left the store as they were now heading toward the train station for home. At the same time, both Rei and the mysterious were watching as they left, but this time the girl chose to not follow them any further, much to Onodera's surprise as she asked, "You aren't going to follow them anymore?"

She stayed tight-lipped and shook her head, then turned around to walk away from the scene into the alley without first telling Rei. "Hey, where are you going?!" She asked in a hostile tone, then rebuked, "Aren't you supposed to go and clear things up with him? Or are you afraid to do so, and tried to get away with all of the messes you have made, huh?! Hey, answer me you coward!"

"I am done for today," she stopped on her track and stood still, then looked behind toward Rei over her right shoulder, adding, "Since Yu-kun has again found his happiness and someone else who can love him, I guess there is no need to apologize to him anymore, let alone reconciling with him."

The girl in black coldly walked away shortly after. Rei was apparently still pissed, as she clenched her fists and gritting her teeth in resentment.

"DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING SHOW UP AGAIN!!!"

The girl in black continued walking away rather than stopping, though she was also startled when Rei angrily yelled at her, and she continued doing so like a madman screaming uncontrollably, "You do not deserve his love after everything you had put him through! You are nothing but a manipulative, deceitful scumbag! A trash that belongs to the trash bin!"

While seemingly unperturbed, the girl had actually started to tear up, but did her best to not sob in front of Onodera until she had left her sight. Rei, on the other hand, breathed heavily, not because of overexertion after going all out in yelling at her, but because of her boiling hot rage. She really felt urged to punch that arrogant, unapologetic woman just to knock some senses into her. But then, her rational thought had stopped her from doing so, and she tried to cool down by fanning herself with only her hands while whispering to convince herself, "Relax, Rei-chan. It's probably not worth it to start a fight with that bitch, no matter how much you have wanted to beat her to pulp."

The girl in black soon reached the corner of a nearby empty alley and finally allowed herself to cry since nobody was around there to see her doing so. A white cat had approached her in curious, and when it saw her cried, the cat circled around while bumping its head onto her legs in showing empathy to the lonely and miserable human it encountered while meowing quietly. The girl crouched down and leaned against the wall while hugging her knees at the same time as she sobbed, and the white cat also stopped walking around and instead lied down beside her, continuing to meow at her in a increasingly depressive tone.

When she realized its presence, she had tried wiping her tears off to stop crying, albeit still sobbing uncontrollably. The cat meowed one more time, and she asked, "I am pathetic, ain't I?"

After being asked, it stopped meowing for unknown reason, though it still stared at her with a equally sad expression. She started petting her on the head and it purred in relaxation. Somehow, it had calmed her nerves when she interacted with this cat. As time went on, she was able to gradually regain control of her emotion, and in the end she stopped crying altogether, and had felt much better after everything that had happened to her earlier today.

"I know it sounds strange, but thank you..." She thanked the white cat in gratitude for its help in healing her from her own sadness, and gave it a one last petting on the head before she left. The white cat stood up to look at her as she was walking away from the place to the open street outside, and although it seemed reluctant to have her leaving itself behind, it did not attempted to follow her, and stayed still in its own place to allow it to happen.

Meanwhile, the girl in black had smiled, and thought Maybe I should adopt that cat.

7.32 PM

After eating their dinner, Ishigami and Iino murmured "thanks for the food", with both of them standing up to take their plates away from the dining table to be taken into the kitchen for cleaning. Ishigami took the responsibility of washing the wok and the plates and would later passed them for her to dry each one of them with a dish towel.

"Man, look at this wok. It's super easy to clean when there's no single grain of rice on it," he stated while washing the wok in the sink.

"So what do you think of my fried rice?" She asked.

"Not gonna lie, but it's pretty good," he praised with a slight nod. "You cooked fried rice very well for a beginner."

"Really? That's nice to hear!"

"But nowhere as good as my sis," he teased after getting her hyped up just earlier, causing her to immediately get gloomy.

"Nah, I was just joking... I'm sorry for saying that..."

"If your sister's food tastes really good, then next time treat me hers!"

Yu smirked and poked her in the forehead, promising, "I will, and moreover, I will teach you how to cook the next dishes."

"Sure thing, can't wait," she replied while rubbing her forehead absentmindedly.

"Here, dry it," he passed the wok to her before washing the rest of the plates. After drying the wok, she placed it beside the sink and continued to dry the plates while Yu leaned against the drawers near her as he waited.

"Tomorrow's school again, that sucks..." He complained, and Iino retorted, "You should go to school as usual, whether you like it or not."

"It's not like I don't like going to school. I mean, there's not much we both can do together while at school, and it sucks."

She sighed and replied, "I know, but I cannot afford in letting other people see you with someone unpopular like me. Your well-being matters to me."

Iino proceeded to put the wok and the plates back to their respective places in the kitchen, while Ishigami went to the living room as he reminded her, "I am going to the living room first."

"Oh, alright."

Afterward, she went to the living room to find Yu playing piano, covering the song titled "Kago no Naka ni Tori" by Yourness. She stood behind him to listen to his music while moving her head around in accordance to the rhythm. But it was cut short when he instinctively turned his head to see her watching him playing.

"Oh, you were watching?"

"Never mind me, just continue playing," she said. But rather, he had stopped playing and left the seat.

"Forget it, I want to take a shower first," he told her while pointing at the direction to the bathroom with his right thumb before heading toward it.

"Hey."

"Yeah, what is it?" He asked just as he had turned toward her after being called out.

"Let's take a shower together again, you and I."
