Chizuru's words were absolutely like thunder out of a clear sky, blowing up the whole room into silence again.
To be honest, although it was the 1990s in R-country, in a developed nation how wildly people could play was entirely possible.
But the few women in the room happened to be, in terms of men and women, mostly belonging to the more traditional kind.
The Kagura sisters didn't even need to be mentioned, Maki would blush and get shy just from talking a bit closer to Aiden, and as for the younger sister Chizuru, just getting her foot touched was something she could bring up to talk about.
Meanwhile, Mai, don't be fooled by how exposed her battle costume was, when teaching Aiden martial arts, she liked to sneak in little advantages for herself, but when going out, she didn't even have the courage to take the initiative to hold his hand.
As for Yuri... her mentality wasn't much different from a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old's. Normally she might seem a little careless and brash, but when she heard Chizuru's words, she directly covered her own ears.
"Ehh, shameless." Yuri muttered in a small voice.
"Exactly… way too shameless." Mai also loudly accused.
She closed her butterfly fan, pointed at Chizuru, biting her silver teeth tightly, and then squeezed out a sentence through the gap between her teeth, "And also, what's wrong with a teacher liking a student? It's still better than you, a woman who just from being touched a little can… can get feelings."
"I want to." Chizuru lifted her head slightly, making a disdainful expression.
But in truth, she was actually extremely embarrassed right now. Just from Aiden touching her foot, she had that kind of feeling.
This was originally a secret she ought to have hidden deep inside her heart. Although later her older sister discovered it, her sister wasn't an outsider, and she hadn't laughed at her.
But now, she herself was bringing this up proactively, even using a boastful tone, this was completely different.
'He won't think I'm that kind of unrestrained girl, right?'
Before, it had been fine. Since the truth hadn't been torn open, she could pretend it didn't matter. But now, she was gradually beginning to care about Aiden's opinion of her.
So she sneaked a glance at him, only to discover that his eyes and face were full of shock.
'Ugh! It's over, looks like he really does think that way.'
Clearly, Chizuru at this moment was still too innocent. Otherwise, she would definitely have realized, what shocked Aiden wasn't that.
"So last time… she actually…"
At this moment Aiden, besides being shocked, also had a trace of excitement. As expected, the more a woman looked serious on the surface, the more sensitive she sometimes was.
"But still, if the younger sister is this sensitive, then as her twin older sister…"
Aiden's gaze fell again on Maki. But her sacred Shrine Maiden outfit and appearance made him a little uncertain.
She was a shrine maiden after all.
Surely she wouldn't turn into a "dirty girl," right?
And he also had no idea, that just a few days ago Maki had been doubting herself, wondering whether she might become a dirty girl…
Yet just as he and Chizuru were thinking messy thoughts, Mai also snapped back to herself.
"Even if you want to, you still can't do that." she shouted angrily.
"Tch!"
But what answered her was only Chizuru's disdain.
Then Chizuru continued, "Fine, even if you put that aside, it's still a fact that I've done more for him."
"But Aiden's lunches are all prepared by me. I also made him his favorite dishes." Mai refused to give in. "It's not just you who made things for him."
"And also, even though he doesn't live at my place, I still prepared a room for him."
"If he did live with me, I could wash his clothes every day too."
"These simple things, I can also do, and even better than you."
"Mhm mhm, and then?" Chizuru crossed her arms looking at her, feeling that everything Mai said didn't have as much impact as her own words.
"And then…" Mai thought for a moment, then suddenly took out the wrapped photos she had and threw them onto the table.
"Look carefully. These are our couple photos."
"And this one."
Mai picked up the kissing photo and displayed it in front of the Kagura sisters.
"If you two had kissed before, you would have brought it up, right? But you didn't. Meanwhile I, not only kissed him, we even took a photo. And you, you're just a dirty girl who got a weird feeling just from my boyfriend touching your foot."
"I'm not a dirty girl…" Staring at the photo of the two kissing intimately, Chizuru ground her teeth as she spoke.
At this moment, she instead felt that if she were a dirty girl, it would be better, at least then she wouldn't have been overtaken by someone else first.
And when the words "dirty girl" were spoken, Maki's little face turned red at the side. She recalled her own self-assessment a few days ago…
But looking at the photo in Mai's hand, in her heart there was indeed some unwillingness and jealousy, yet outwardly she still calmly said, "It's just a kiss."
"Yeah, just a kiss. If you've got the guts, bring out a bed photo, mmph, big sis, what are you doing?" Chizuru struggled to push away her sister's hand covering her mouth, staring at her with dissatisfaction.
"Mind your words." Maki scolded shyly.
"Big sis, at this point, don't get hung up on wording, isn't it more important to turn things around?"
"But just words alone can't turn it around."
Mai smiled sweetly as she looked at the sisters, shaking the photos in her hand while pointing at them with her folded butterfly fan, "Either you can bring out proof to beat me, or else… honestly become losers already."
Such provocative words made both sisters' pretty faces instantly go cold. Their eyes toward Mai filled with hostility.
'Damn, Mai, you're really not afraid this will turn into a fight? Chizuru is one thing, she hasn't properly trained in the family's martial arts, but Maki, you definitely can't beat her.'
Looking at the gazes almost sparking in mid-air, Aiden thought nervously.
He began to wonder, if they really did start fighting, should he help Mai? Or… help Maki?
Because he believed Mai definitely wasn't the sisters' match.
But that would be too biased. After all, it was Mai who had stirred things up.
While he was tangled up in thought, Chizuru suddenly stood up from the cushion, coldly locking eyes with Mai.
Seeing her action, Aiden's heart jumped, and he also stood up.
Facing her, Mai even stepped back half a step, hiding the butterfly fan behind her back.
"Onii-chan, am I supposed to help Sister Mai in a bit?"
Noticing the tense atmosphere, Yuri stuck close to Aiden, whispering into his ear.
Even though she didn't yet have a seat in this battlefield of love, she had been brought by Mai, so logically she belonged to Mai's side.
"Let's wait and see… just a moment…" Aiden turned to whisper back.
But he didn't notice Chizuru suddenly giving Mai a provocative smile. Then, lifting her long legs, she stepped over the tea table and came right in front of him.
"Isn't it just kissing? I can do that too."
As the words fell, she stood on tiptoe, and suddenly kissed him.
When it came to kissing, there was no need to repeat how skilled Aiden already was.
But for Chizuru, her very first time, she had absolutely no technique. Even though she had seen kissing scenes in dramas before, without real experience, no matter how much theoretical knowledge she had, it was still blank.
Aiden had already experienced this once from the witch. The first time he kissed her, he had felt like she wanted to suck his soul out too.
And Chizuru was the same, or actually, even worse than the witch.
After kissing Aiden's lips, the tsundere girl didn't bother with any "just a light taste" trick, nor did she try any difficult tongue-kissing techniques.
Instead, she directly bit his lips and sucked hard. The scene looked just like in a movie where a female ghost sucks a man's essence.
The three other women, stunned by this sudden act, could clearly see Aiden's cheeks sink in slightly.
And for Aiden, who was being kissed, the sensation was even stronger, he felt Chizuru wasn't kissing, but like a drowning girl clutching an oxygen tank and gulping desperately. He felt the air in his lungs was being sucked out.
'In the future I definitely need to properly teach her how to kiss.'
So Aiden thought in his heart, then put both hands on Chizuru's shoulders… with so many people watching, naturally he couldn't take too much initiative. Otherwise, he truly would have wanted to take this chance to feel out how good Chizuru's figure was.
But just as he was about to push her away, someone else acted faster than him.
"You detestable dirty girl, what are you doing!"
The butterfly fan stabbed between Aiden and Chizuru's chests. Along with Mai's voice, sour and sharp, the fan gave a light shake and easily forced the two apart.
Although Mai was furious, when she separated them she had used skillful strength, so Chizuru's chest didn't actually feel much pain. Her first reaction was instead to wipe her lips, saying with some aftertaste,
"So this is what kissing feels like. It's really pretty nice."
Then she glanced at Mai, eyes carrying a trace of pride, "Now I've kissed him too. We're tied. So what more do you have to say?"
"You just ambushed, that doesn't count." Mai pointed at her with the butterfly fan. "When Aiden and I took a kissing photo, it was mutual."
"But Aiden didn't reject me either! Didn't you notice, Aiden's hands were already holding my sister." Still sitting steadily, Maki spoke calmly.
But in fact, when she saw her younger sister kiss Aiden, the sourness in her heart was even stronger than Mai's.
