Kitahara Hakuba couldn't bring himself to leave Kuno Tachibana here and then send Eri home.

"Just seeing Kitahara-sensei's back makes me want to go around and walk home with you."

Based solely on Kuno Tachibana's words, Kitahara Hakuba would never abandon her; otherwise, he would be utterly despicable.

Hmm:

Eri Kanzaki's eyelashes trembled, and her delicate shoulders slumped down in disappointment.

A short while later, Kuno Tachibana came out of the bathroom.

"Teacher Kitahara, is this place close to your home?"

Seeing her so happy, as if she thought she could go to his house again, Kitahara Hakuba grinned.

You were thinking of coming to my house? We were just discussing leaving you behind!

"Don't even think about going to my house anymore, I'll take you back."

"Oh no! No, no! I want to go to Kitahara-sensei's house!"

“It’s already past seven o’clock, no matter how much you plead, it won’t work. I won’t agree,” Kitahara Hakuba said.

Kuno Tachibana then turned his gaze to the sullen Kanzaki Eri standing to the side and said:

"Kansaki-senpai, you'd also like to visit Kitahara-sensei's house together, right?"

Kanzaki Eri looked at the girl who had suddenly approached, took a step back, and shook her head.

Kitahara Hakuba went straight for Kuno Tachibana's head and patted him hard.

"Stop trying to seduce people. Isn't it enough that you've eaten, drunk, and had fun for free today?"

"I think it's Kitahara-sensei who's really benefiting from having two beautiful girls keep him company."

"Since you put it that way, I won't take you next time."

"You delivered it to the wrong address! I was just kidding!"

Watching the two interact intimately, Kanzaki Eri's cherry-colored lips moved unconsciously, but she didn't say anything as the three of them boarded the tram.

The tram carriages were much emptier after 7 p.m., with seats available.

Kitahara Hakuba was naturally sandwiched between the two girls, whose scents swirled around his nose as if they were vying for his attention.

In the end, I didn't remember any of the flavors.

As the mains power line arrived, Kuno Tachibana stood up and said, "I've arrived, Kitahara-sensei, Kanzaki-senpai, I'll be going now."

"Be careful on the road."

"Ok!"

A short while later, the mains power started running again.

Kanzaki Eri gently shifted her hips, pressing her outer thighs tightly against Kitahara Hakuba.

The warmth of her thighs was clearly felt through the fabric of her pleated skirt. Kitahara Hakuma glanced at her and saw her looking down at the plush toy she had caught that day.

Logically, one should subtly bring their legs together, but it always feels strange for a guy to bring his legs together.

"how are you today?"

Kitahara Hakuba let her go as she pleased, while telling himself that physical contact in the carriage was common.

Eri Kanzaki pressed her thumb lightly on the doll, and the doll's belly sank in:

"good."

She said it was alright, but there was no hint of happiness in her tone.

Kitahara Hakuba was helpless; Kuno Tachibana's appearance was beyond his control.

At that moment, Eri Kanzaki, like an innocent child, gently tilted her head and rested it on Hakuba Kitahara's shoulder like a little bird.

However, before he could feel at ease for even a few seconds, Kitahara Hakuba moved to the side and said with a gentle smile:

"Are you sleepy?"

Eri Kanzaki stared at him with her dark eyes, her gaze revealing undisguised and naked confusion.

"Let's hold on a little longer," Kitahara Hakuba said.

The girl's gaze fell on the back of his hand, as if she had encountered an unsolvable problem. Her fair face, flushed with pink, showed a bewildered expression.

She didn't understand why he could touch Kuno's head, but she couldn't lean on him.

The train arrived in Motomachi, and the two walked out of the station together.

After walking for a few minutes, Eri Kanzaki suddenly stopped.

The wind was a bit strong, causing the girl's pleated skirt to cling tightly to her hips and thighs, revealing the beautiful contours of her lower body.

"What's wrong?" Kitahara Hakuba asked.

Eri Kanzaki pursed her lips, tilted her head back, and looked up at him, saying:

"Touch me."

"what?"

Kitahara Hakuba was genuinely stunned. How come Kanzaki Eri always said things that caught him off guard?

Eri Kanzaki raised her hand to brush her hair aside and whispered to him:

"Can't you touch me like you touched Kuno?"

Why didn't you just say you wanted me to touch your head?

Kitahara Hakuba breathed a huge sigh of relief. Anyone would be scared if Kanzaki Erimitsu said "touch me," since there were so many places on her body that were worth touching.

However, there are many places where the teachers do not allow him to touch things.

Kitahara Hakuba, both amused and exasperated, asked, "Why? Do you like it when someone touches your head?"

Eri Kanzaki gently shook her head, her voice barely audible:

"I like it when you pat my head, it makes me very happy."

These words seemed somewhat inexplicable, but Kitahara Hakuba still stepped forward and raised his hand to stroke her head.

Hui Li's hair was very soft, and I could feel the warmth coming from my palm.

Compared to his slightly rough touch when stroking Kuno Tachibana, his touch on Kanzaki Eri was extremely gentle.

A refreshing breeze caressed her cheeks, tugged at her hair, and made the girl's thin lips form a crescent moon shape.

"Is it ready?" Kitahara Hakuba asked.

"Again."

Kitahara Hakuba had no choice but to continue touching him.

He looked around; the area was full of detached villas where wealthy families lived, and it seemed that Nagase Tsukiyo also lived in this area.

"I want to be with you," the girl whispered as she was being stroked.

.Um?"

Kitahara Hakuba's hand froze as he stared at Kanzaki Eri in front of him.

Eri Kanzaki's fair neck twitched as she grasped Hakuba Kitahara's wrists with both hands and said:

"Are you willing to... spend your whole life with me? I want to go to university where you'll be by my side."

The moonlight, like flowing water, quietly spilled onto Kitahara Hakuba's shoulders. The surrounding silence, like a light linen shawl, was scattered under the terrifying night.

Kitahara Hakuba's heart was pounding.

What did she mean by that? Does she really want to be with me forever?

Although he did promise to "brag about SoIi for the rest of his life" in order to keep her in line, Kitahara Hakuba never expected her to take it so seriously.

Life is so long, you might meet better teachers and better people, why talk about a lifetime now...

North "Sh—'

Eri Kanzaki stood on tiptoe, pressed her index finger against Hakuba Kitahara's mouth, and smiled faintly.

"Take your time to think about it."

She gave Kitahara Hakuba an adorable wink that she had never seen before.

"After all, it's a lifelong commitment."

After speaking, Kanzaki Eri withdrew her hand. The girl's control over her expression was astonishing. Her previously smiling and ambiguous face suddenly became expressionless, even showing some indifference.

"Woolen cloth.....

Kitahara Hakuba's breathing slowed down a beat; he felt he was paying the price for what he had said before.

After walking in silence for three minutes, we arrived at Eri Kanzaki's house.

A magnificent villa stands before us, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window that almost covers the entire wall, and lush flowers and plants growing outside.

A black luxury car was parked in the garage.

"We've arrived." Eri Kanzaki turned around.

Kitahara Hakuba stood there observing for a moment, then waved and said, "Get some rest. The exams start tomorrow."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

Kitahara Hakuba turned and left. After walking nearly fifty meters away, he turned back and found Kanzaki Eri still standing there watching him.

The girl was facing away from the moonlight, and only the outline of her profile could be vaguely seen, her long hair swaying gently in the wind.

This farewell did not warm Kitahara Hakuba's heart at all; on the contrary, it made him a little scared.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace until he turned into a T-junction.

After walking for a while, Kitahara Hakuba saw a girl in sportswear running uphill, panting heavily.
