Soon, she noticed that something seemed off.
Sakuramiya Hinata stared at Sakuramiya Saya's lips and asked curiously, "Sister, why are your lips red and swollen? Did you accidentally bite them?"
Sakuramiya Saya subconsciously touched her lips and realized they were indeed more swollen than usual. She quickly explained, "I... I just drank some water carelessly and accidentally drank hot water. I... I got scalded!"
Hearing Saya's explanation, Hinata didn't think too much about it.
After all, without knowing Saya's thoughts, Hinata couldn't possibly imagine what had just happened in the lounge.
"Sister, you need to be more careful. Hikari-kun, could you please accompany me to practice archery now?", After admonishing Saya, Hinata turned to Hikari and asked hopefully.
"Let's go," Hikari nodded and stood up, his expression calm.
Hinata happily followed Hikari out of the lounge.
Watching Hikari's retreating figure as Hinata led him away, Saya suddenly raised her hand and pressed it against her slightly swollen lips, reminiscing about what had just happened, remaining silent for a long time.
She recalled every detail of her interactions with Hikari, from their first meeting to their recent closeness.
At that moment, Saya suddenly understood why Hinata had fallen for this man and why she had cheated.
This man, upon closer acquaintance, truly had an astonishing charm and an irresistible allure.
Even she... couldn't help but feel somewhat captivated.
Just a few minutes ago, Saya would never have imagined that kissing could feel so comfortable and pleasurable.
Saya had kissed Hinata before, but the comfort and excitement she felt just now were something Hinata had never brought her.
Saya finally understood why, despite her aversion to men, she had never felt any dislike towards Hikari.
She had actually harbored some goodwill towards him all along. Her strong curiosity about him was a manifestation of that, though she hadn't clearly realized it before.
After tasting that sweetness, Saya suddenly didn't care about Hinata's cheating anymore.
She no longer cared who Hinata had gotten close to; she just suddenly didn't want to see Hinata clinging to Hikari anymore.
'Hinata, I'm sorry.'
'But you cheated first, so it's not wrong for me to like another man, right?'
'Besides, Hinata, you're still young. A mature man like Hikari-kun is too much for you to handle. Let your sister take care of him.'
Leaning against the lounge door, Saya watched Hinata clinging to Hikari, asking him to teach her archery, her beautiful eyes flickering with an unusual light.
———
After leaving the lounge, Hinata asked Hikari to teach her archery.
By Hikari's side, Hinata seemed to return to the time when she first started learning archery, knowing nothing and needing Hikari to guide her hand in hand.
After letting Hikari teach her for a while, Hinata wanted to continue learning.
But suddenly, Saya's voice came from behind, "Hinata, you've been practicing for a while. Your hands must be tired. Take a break and let me learn archery from Hikari-kun."
Without waiting for Hinata to refuse, Saya considerately and gently took the bow and arrow from her hands.
Seeing her sister's concerned expression, seemingly genuinely worried about her being tired from practice, Hinata, moved, had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I'll take a break. You go ahead, sister."
Hinata stepped back, making room.
Saya immediately stood in front of Hikari, taking Hinata's previous position, and turned to ask Hikari for archery advice.
Hinata watched as Saya stood beside Hikari, also asking him to teach her archery.
Seeing her sister, who had previously seemed indifferent to Hikari, now standing so close to him, just as she had been, Hinata suddenly felt an inexplicable discomfort, a sense of jealousy.
Hinata herself knew she was feeling a bit jealous, but she wasn't sure who she was jealous of or why.
Unaware of Saya's thoughts, Hinata assumed her sister was genuinely and earnestly learning archery from Hikari.
But Hinata didn't know.
At that moment, Saya's heart was racing, and her thoughts weren't on the bow and arrow in her hands.
Despite having just actively kissed Hikari, perhaps because it was in front of Hinata, being close to Hikari now and feeling his warmth as he held her hand gave Saya an inexplicable excitement.
This was a feeling she had never experienced when kissing Hinata.
She used to despise men.
Why did being close to Hikari-kun feel so comfortable...
Meanwhile, Hinata, watching from behind, was also reminiscing about the warm feeling of being close to Hikari earlier.
Just as the two sisters were lost in their thoughts, and Hinata was about to call out to Saya to switch places, Hikari suddenly felt his pocket vibrate. He immediately took out his phone and answered the call.
"Same coffee shop as last time?"
"Alright, I'll head over now."
After hanging up, he looked at the sisters who were eagerly watching him.
Hikari said, "I have something to attend to, so I'll have to leave now. I'll teach you archery another time."
"Alright...", Though both were reluctant, seeing Hikari decisively put down the bow and arrow and pack up, they knew they couldn't stop him. Saya and Hinata didn't say much more and let him leave.
The reason Hikari left so abruptly after the call was that it was from Principal Rikka.
Being entrusted with a task, this time the person needing his psychological counseling seemed to be in a hurry, so Hikari rushed over as quickly as possible.
They watched until Hikari quickly left the archery club before Saya and Hinata finally looked away.
At the same time, they suddenly and quite synchronously turned to look at each other.
Both Saya and Hinata vaguely sensed that something had been off with the other when Hikari was around.
Having already witnessed her sister's cheating, Saya spoke up first, "Hinata, I noticed your face seemed a bit red when Hikari-kun was teaching you archery."
"Don't tell me you've fallen for him?"
Saya's face showed a wary expression as she seriously asked Hinata.
Seeing Saya's potentially explosive expression, Hinata quickly denied, "No, no! My face was red because it's hot!"
Though she had already mostly confirmed her feelings for Hikari, Hinata wasn't ready to confess to Saya yet.
First, they had many years of deep affection, and she feared Saya might get extremely angry or even lose control if she suddenly said she had fallen for someone else.
Second, Hinata felt that someone as outstanding as Hikari might also catch Saya's interest, so it was better to keep it a secret until she confirmed her relationship with Hikari.
Seeing Saya staring intently at her, seemingly wanting to interrogate her further after her response, Hinata quickly countered, "Sister, you're one to talk."
"I saw you seemed to be enjoying yourself when Hikari-kun was teaching you. Sister, didn't you only like girls? Could it be you've fallen for a man?"
Hearing this, Saya also quickly denied, "Nonsense! I was just happy about learning archery!"
"I... how could I fall for a man? I actually felt very uncomfortable being close to Hikari-kun."
"I only got close to him to learn archery."
"It's a pity, though. Hikari-kun's archery skills are really good. If only he were a woman, it would be easier for me to interact with him."
Hearing Saya's usual remarks, Hinata nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we still don't like those smelly men."
"Even with Hikari-kun, I can't help but feel goosebumps when I get close to him. It feels so gross."
Saya also nodded, "Yeah! Me too!"
"Still, Saya-nee is the best! So soft! So comfortable!"
"Still, Hinata-chan is the best! So fragrant! So cute!"
As they spoke, the sisters hugged each other as usual.
Hugging each other, their pretty faces wore happy smiles, seemingly as content and joyful as always.
But beneath those happy smiles, both sisters couldn't help but have a strange thought, 'Why does hugging my sister feel less comfortable than being close to Hikari-kun? This is bad...'
———
On the other hand, Hikari was unaware of the strange thoughts and actions of the Sakuramiya sisters.
At that moment, he was already on his way to the familiar coffee shop by taxi.
Sitting in the car, Hikari casually opened his phone to check the information Rikka had sent him.
This time, the person needing his services wasn't as mischievous as Louisa before her education.
So, after obtaining consent, Rikka had directly sent the information about the person needing psychological counseling to Hikari's phone in advance.
After a quick glance, Hikari closed his phone.
"This time, it's someone familiar."
About half an hour later.
The car arrived in front of the familiar Starbucks coffee shop.
After getting out of the car, Hikari slowly walked into the familiar coffee shop.
Pushing open the coffee shop door, Hikari scanned the room, politely declined a few girls who approached him attracted by his looks, and headed straight for a short-haired girl in a JK uniform with a healthy wheat-colored complexion.
"Hello, Mio-san," Arriving at the short-haired girl's table, Hikari greeted her proactively. Katou Mio looked up, her eyes lighting up upon seeing Hikari, and asked, "Are you... Hikari-kun? The specially appointed psychological teacher at our academy?"
Hikari nodded, "Yes, that's me."
Mio quickly stood up and leaned in to take a closer look at Hikari.
"Wow! Hikari-kun, you're really handsome! Like those male idols, no, even more handsome than them," At this age, it's hard for girls not to be swayed by looks, so seeing Hikari's face, Mio was already getting excited.
"You flatter me," Hikari smiled and said.
Mio quickly shook her head, "No, no! Hikari-kun, you're really handsome, it's not flattery!"
"Before, when Tomoe told me you were really handsome, I didn't believe her. I thought she was lying, and you might actually be a fat uncle or something."
"But Hikari-kun, you're really super handsome, even more than Tomoe said. Oh no, just seeing you makes my heart race!", As she spoke, Mio took the initiative to link arms with Hikari.
"It's crowded here, let's go outside and talk."
With that, Hikari let Mio link arms with him as they walked out of the coffee shop.
"No matter from which angle, Hikari-kun, you're really so handsome!"
As they walked out of the coffee shop, Mio couldn't help but glance at Hikari several times, unable to resist praising him again.
Hikari smiled and complimented back, "Mio-san, you're also very beautiful."
Hearing Hikari's words, Mio smiled wryly, "Oh, Hikari-kun, you don't need to flatter me. I know my own situation."
"As a sports student, I'm always out in the sun, my skin is dark, and I can't grow my hair long. I have no femininity at all."
"Compared to Tomoe and the others, I'm far behind~"
Hearing Mio's lack of confidence, Hikari smiled.
Suddenly, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Mio's slender and aesthetically pleasing waist, pulling her into his embrace.
"Mio-san, who says you have no femininity? You don't have to be like Tomoe and the others to have femininity. Mio-san, you have your own unique beauty."
