"I'm guessing it was probably that pervert Suzumura Kenta who bought them, then secretly hid them."
"I was planning to throw them all away at first, but when I saw that they were all brand new clothes with the packaging completely unopened, I felt it would be a bit of a waste to just throw them out."
"And also… I felt these clothes all have pretty novel styles. They'd be fun to wear, and Hikari-kun might like them too, so… so I kept them, planning to wear them for Hikari-kun to see."
"What do you think of this maid, maid outfit, Hikari-kun?"
With her pretty face slightly flushed, Arisa lifted the hem of her maid skirt, spun around once in front of Hikari, then smiled and asked him.
Hikari raised his eyes to look and found that blonde-haired Arisa actually suited this outfit quite well.
After all, this kind of maid outfit is originally Western-style clothing, and Arisa is blonde with blue eyes and very refined features, so it really couldn't suit her better.
The maid headpiece made her look very well-behaved, the waist-cinching design of the dress set off her full chest so much it made one want to bury themselves in it, and the pair of white silk legs under the skirt were especially eye-catching.
Hikari smiled and didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Not bad."
Then he directly pulled this Russian maid into his arms.
Since it was daytime, Arisa was still a bit shy.
But facing Hikari's enthusiasm, she naturally didn't refuse at all, instead she was quite happy.
An hour later, with her hair loose and the maid headpiece fallen on the floor, Arisa bent down to pick up the headpiece and a stocking.
"Not enough yet, don't leave," Sitting on the sofa, Hikari rudely reached out and gently pulled this exotic beauty back into his arms.
Arisa didn't resist either, just smiled and said, "I'm not done either, I'm not leaving! It's just that this outfit is dirty now, Arisa wants to go change into another one for Master."
Wearing the maid outfit, Arisa also proactively played the role of a maid, sweetly calling Hikari "Master," and was completely obedient just now.
Hearing this, Hikari immediately let go and let Arisa get up.
A few minutes later, Arisa, now changed into a different outfit, returned to the living room.
"Ta-da! The shrine maiden has arrived!"
Arisa, now wearing a shrine maiden uniform, walked back in front of Hikari.
Hikari looked up and saw that Arisa was wearing a wide-sleeved top on her upper body, a short red pleated skirt on her lower body, a big pink bow tied at her waist, and she was holding something that looked like an exorcism whisk. He couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Well, Hikari-kun, does it look good?", Arisa asked with a smile, clearly having a lot of fun role-playing.
"It looks pretty good, but it doesn't look formal enough. Shrine maidens don't have their chests open this much, and the skirt wouldn't be this short," Hikari said with a smile.
Hearing Hikari's teasing, Arisa looked down and realized she really was showing quite a bit of cleavage, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red.
"Hmph! You mortal, how dare you mock this shrine maiden. Watch me exorcise evil for you!"
Arisa shouted as she rushed over and directly pounced Hikari onto the sofa, yelling that she was going to exorcise him.
Seeing this blonde beauty from Russia insist on role-playing as a japanese shrine maiden, Hikari just smiled and let her fool around.
After playing for another hour or so, Arisa changed into yet another new uniform.
"Ta-da! This time it's JK. How is it, pure and cute, right?", Wearing a JK uniform, Arisa confidently spun around in front of Hikari.
But Hikari's expression was unexpectedly calm. He waved his hand and said, "I've already experienced this type enough. Change into another one."
"Eh?", Arisa was a bit stunned.
What she didn't know was that the number of JKs Hikari knew was more than the number of times she was better than him.
He had seen all kinds of high school girls, so he really did have a fairly high resistance to it.
But Arisa didn't believe it and still pounced on him.
This time she played the role of a girl whose family finances were in crisis and needed an older man's help.
Although it was a bit awkward since Hikari was actually younger than Arisa, he still cooperated and played along with her properly.
Having only just come into contact with this kind of thing yesterday, and with so many new clothes today, Arisa was having a great time.
And Hikari, who had just returned earlier from Miyuri's place, also needed to let off some steam.
So the two of them kept playing from noon all the way until the sun was about to set.
They only stopped the role-playing game when Sayoko called to urge him over, telling Hikari to come eat seafood.
Only then did Hikari and this exotic beauty from Russia stop.
Looking at the various uniforms thrown all over the floor, Hikari helplessly shook his head.
These uniforms were probably bought by Arisa's former fiance's brother, that perverted guy called Suzumura Kenta, and they were all brand new and unopened.
This wave ended up dressing Hikari and Arisa for their own benefit.
Perhaps to some extent, the already-dead Suzumura Kenta could also be considered part of their play.
But the quality of these uniforms was too poor. If Arisa liked playing like this, he could buy several better-quality styles later and play to their heart's content with her.
Shaking his head, Hikari helped up Arisa, who was already so weak she had collapsed on the floor. After cleaning her body, he sent her back upstairs to the bedroom.
After settling Arisa, who was still rolling her eyes back, Hikari quietly went downstairs.
This was probably the benefit brought by his constant efforts, putting points into physique.
After playing all afternoon, Arisa was completely done for, but after resting a bit, Hikari felt like he had almost fully recovered.
"Although I still need to supplement some protein and trace elements like zinc, Auntie Sayoko happens to be treating me to seafood, so I'll eat more today."
"But today's izakaya probably won't be very peaceful…"
After changing into clean clothes, Hikari leisurely headed toward the izakaya.
———
The sun set in the west, and it was dusk.
The lingering glow of the setting sun gently swayed in the breeze, painting the busy town's dusk with a layer of lazy color.
On the rural road, there were few pedestrians, and the vendors also began packing up their stalls, preparing to welcome the night.
As the afterglow of the sunset gradually faded, it was replaced by faint starlight and moon shadows.
Whoosh!
The two lantern-shaped lights in front of the izakaya lit up, the rose-colored light driving away the darkness and reflecting on the charming, alluring face of the proprietress standing at the entrance.
The izakaya's proprietress, Sayoko, was wearing a dark green long dress.
Although the skirt reached her knees and didn't reveal her chest or back, making it very conservative, her full figure still radiated abundant charm.
Her skin was fair, her features delicate, brows naturally green without makeup, lips naturally red without lipstick.
Below her slender swan-like neck were delicate collarbones, then full soft breasts, and a willowy waist that could be held in one hand.
Even the loose long dress couldn't hide her curvy, shapely figure. Just that graceful posture alone was enough to stir endless imagination.
Even the small section of round calf exposed under the hem of her skirt was tender and alluring, making one want to keep touching it.
Faced with such a scene of beauty like jade, graceful and upright, passing diners couldn't help but sneak glances, secretly moved.
But the izakaya proprietress Sayoko herself paid no attention at all.
Her beautiful eyes kept looking into the distance, as if waiting for someone important.
Only when that familiar figure of a young man appeared did Sayoko quickly walk up to him.
Other diners in the izakaya couldn't help but turn their heads to look, seeing a handsome young man walking beside Sayoko.
"Hikari-kun, you finally came! Auntie's been waiting for you for quite a while!", Sayoko said with a slightly reproachful tone.
"Sorry, Auntie, something came up and I was a bit late," Hikari knew Sayoko was just acting coy and didn't really mean to blame him.
"Alright, alright, hurry and come in with Auntie," Sayoko smiled as she pulled Hikari along into the izakaya.
Seeing Sayoko enthusiastically holding onto Hikari's arm, everyone couldn't help but show looks of envy and jealousy.
And among them, one gaze was especially intense.
'Sayoko sister-in-law, you must be mine!'
In a corner of the izakaya, Sakai Yutaka secretly clenched his fist.
Completely ignoring other people's gazes, Sayoko pulled Hikari and went straight into a small private room.
After seating Hikari at the table, Sayoko immediately called the staff to serve the dishes.
Plate after plate of rich seafood was brought out. Hikari casually glanced over and saw mantis shrimp, hairy crab, abalone, scallops, geoduck… all kinds of fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish, dazzling and plentiful.
Hikari could tell that Sayoko truly valued him and had put a lot of thought into entertaining him.
"Hikari-kun, how is it, are you satisfied? Last time you helped Auntie solve the izakaya's trouble, I didn't properly thank you. This time I'm treating you to a good meal," Sayoko smiled warmly at Hikari, waiting for his response.
Living up to Sayoko's expectations, Hikari smiled and nodded, "Mm, very satisfied. There are so many kinds, I can't finish all this by myself. Auntie Sayoko, you'll eat with me, right?"
"Of course," Sayoko rolled her beautiful eyes charmingly, "I've been busy all afternoon preparing this table, of course I'm eating too!"
Just as the two exchanged smiles, a female employee from the izakaya hurried in.
"Boss, there's a table of guests who want steamed abalone, but we've already used too much here, and there's none left in the kitchen. Do you think maybe?", the female employee asked Sayoko cautiously.
For normal business, if customers want something, it's usually more important than the staff eating.
But Sayoko directly shook her head, "Go apologize to that table and tell them to come again next time. There's no extra seafood supply today."
"Alright," Although she didn't quite understand, since the boss herself had made the call, the female employee could only nod and leave.
"Hikari-kun, don't be polite, hurry and eat. It won't taste good once it gets cold," Sayoko lightly gathered her skirt, lowered her hips, and sat down beside Hikari with a smile.
"Alright, let's start eating," Hikari nodded.
"Auntie will peel the shrimp for you," Sayoko was still very enthusiastic.
Although he really had helped Sayoko before, Hikari felt that today this widow auntie was a bit overly enthusiastic.
But after thinking about it a little, he guessed the reason.
Perhaps it was because he had been spending more time with Miyuri these past couple of days.
Given Sayoko and Miyuri's always competitive, rivalrous personalities, there might also be an element of wanting to snatch him back.
But no matter what, with Auntie Sayoko being so warm, Hikari naturally responded in kind.
The two of them ate this huge table of seafood together, the atmosphere warm and cheerful.
But before long, the female employee who had gone out earlier came back in, with another figure following behind her.
Panting, the employee reported, "Huff… Boss, that table of guests finally left!"
"What happened, did something occur?", Sayoko raised her delicate brows slightly while peeling shrimp for Hikari.
The employee explained, "When they heard there was no more seafood, they got very angry and wanted to make trouble. They said… said they wanted you, Boss, to drink with them. Luckily Uncle Sakai was there and talked them into leaving."
At this time, Sakai Yutaka, who had been following behind the employee, stepped forward and smiled, waving his hand, "It's nothing, nothing, just a small favor."
"Sayoko sister-in-law, you actually pulled Hikari-kun in here to secretly eat alone," Sakai Yutaka joked as he greeted Hikari and Sayoko.
