Su Shi's eyes involuntarily glanced at the boy under the table. Fortunately, he was rather thin and could easily hide under the president's desk.
However, when Banai looked at Su Shi's plump legs, which were taut by sheer black stockings, she seemed unsure where to look. In particular, Su Shi was wearing a matching suit skirt, and the deeper into the black stockings, the more mysterious the black forest seemed, instinctively arousing a desire to peek inside.
Su Shi seemed to realize the boy's embarrassment, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Wait, Soyorin, are you even listening to me?"
But at these delicate moments, this pink-haired creature always squeaks and cries at inopportune times.
"If you're bored, how about you find a job?" Su Shi said casually.
"Eh? But I can't stand sitting in an office like Soyorin. I'm a woman who does whatever I want." Aine gently patted her still-empty chest and said with a hint of pride.
Su Shi couldn't help but say, somewhat annoyed, "That's because you won a hundred billion in the lottery when you went out!"
At this point, Su Shi felt a surge of nameless anger rising in her chest.
The silly woman in front of her, when she graduated from university with her, was still stammering that she didn't know what kind of job she should do and that she didn't know anything. Meanwhile, Su Shi, who had already decided to take over her mother's company, was teasing her with a rather superior air.
"Why don't you buy a lottery ticket and try your luck? If you win, you might never have to work again," Su Shi joked back then.
As it turned out, this idiot actually bought a lottery ticket on a whim at the lottery station next door, which was supposedly her first lottery ticket ever.
Then...then she won a 10 billion jackpot, which caused such a sensation that even newspapers reported it anonymously.
Originally, Aine's family was only middle class, and even Su Shi's family was much better off than hers. However, after she won the lottery, her life suddenly became free.
And she has to grope him every day.
"Hey, soyorin, I'm so bored. I traveled all over the world last year, but it didn't cost me much money. How can I find the motivation to find meaning in life?"
Hearing such sentimental words, Su Shi couldn't help but... gently rub her toes, clad in black stockings, against the boy's cheek.
At least she had this kid to comfort her, otherwise she would have been really driven crazy by this pink-haired girl.
Chapter Fourteen: Yongquan Acupoint, Stepmother, and Indirect Kissing
As if teasing a child, Su Shi gently rubbed her toes, which were covered in black stockings, against the boy's face.
As expected, Banami looked bewildered, appearing somewhat flustered yet also shy.
Ah, this child is so adorable, really, I want to hold him in my arms, Su Shi thought to herself.
The next moment, she was grabbed by the foot by Banami's hand, and with a thud, her heart felt like it was going to jump into her throat. She couldn't help but take a deep breath.
As if fulfilling a suggestion that had not yet received a reply, Banami gently kneaded the woman's soles with her hands. The sour and soft feeling was reflected in Suze's heart as a tingling and numb sensation.
She screamed in her heart... No, her feet were even more sensitive than her shoulders.
With a gentle squeeze from the boy, her whole body went limp like putty, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.
"Soyorin?" Ai Yin tilted her head slightly.
"Ah, what were you saying just now?" Su Shi quickly replied.
"Soyorin, why are you so distracted today? I told you I'm bored and don't want to look for a job, but you won't play with me!" Ai Yin said, somewhat annoyed.
Su Shi gently pursed her lips, enduring Banami's wanton ravaging of her feet and calves under her skirt. She felt so comfortable that she wanted to cry out, but after all, there was this pink-haired Minato here.
Even though I haven't done anything strange, why do I feel a kind of immoral pleasure?
Thinking of this, Su Shi's eyes brightened, and she said, "In that case, how about finding a man?"
"Soyorin, how could you say such heartless things? Didn't we agree that none of us would look for men, and that we would help each other out when we got old?" Ai Yin said, pouting slightly.
“I never said that,” Su Shi said coldly, but her face showed a contrasting pleasure.
This made Aine feel increasingly strange.
Aine, holding her face, said, "Actually, the reason I came up to see you today, Soyorin, is because my parents are pressuring me to get married. They keep trying to introduce me to potential partners."
“That’s true, after all, you’re not young anymore,” Su Shi added casually.
"Ouch, that hurts... Don't forget, Su Shi and I are the same age!" Ai Yin said.
"It's not the same at all. I already have... cough cough..."
Because Banami was pressing her Yongquan acupoint, his stiff fingers applied slight pressure.
Su Shi almost arched her back, but... no, her feet struggled slightly, but the boy held them tightly in his hands.
"Hey, you got what? A boyfriend?"
Would I tell you I have a child?
“I told you I already have a career I can dedicate my life to, and I married my own company,” Su Shi calmly added.
"Tch, that's boring. I thought Soyorin had betrayed my love~" Aine said half-jokingly.
Su Shi rolled her eyes, but Ai Yin quickly put her head on the table and said helplessly, "But, Soyorin, you know, I don't dare to find a boyfriend right now."
I think I'll probably be alone for the rest of my life.
Su Shi looked at the other person with some pity. Although the other person was financially independent, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Now, she had also lost the opportunity to find a true love.
After all, in today's society, who knows what the purpose of a man who gets close to Aine is?
Or rather, regardless of the purpose, Aine would subconsciously begin to have doubts.
She has lost the fertile ground most needed to cultivate love.
"Ah, if only I hadn't bought that lottery ticket back then~" Aine couldn't help but complain.
Su Shi really wanted to kick this guy to death. In her company, how many female graduates work themselves to the bone to stay and earn an annual salary of four million yen, and still have to work overtime every day? Forget about love, they don't even have time to go out for casual sex.
"Okay, I'm busy these two days. I'll go shopping with you this weekend. Don't bother me while I'm working."
Hearing Soyo say that, Aine exclaimed, "Yay! I knew Soyorin liked me the most!"
After saying that, Ai couldn't help but stick her head out and kiss Su Shi's lips, as if it were a dragonfly skimming the water.
Su Shi tensed up, not because she was being kissed, but because she was afraid that Su Shi would discover the boy under her table.
"Haha, why are you still nervous?" Ai Yin said with a laugh, then turned and left.
When they're playfully fighting, they sometimes kiss like this, but of course, no one takes it seriously.
But then Suze suddenly remembered that last night, Yagami had kissed her in the same way, and then today, Aine had ambushed her with a kiss like this.
Does that mean that Banami and Aine indirectly kissed?
A strange sense of jealousy welled up inside her.
This is the pink-haired one.
Aine, who came and went like the wind, left soon after.
Banami slowly emerged from under Suze's skirt, and the boy looked at her with a strange expression.
Su Shi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said, "You child, just say what you want to say. What does that look mean?"
Banami asked, "Uh, Aunt Suze, are you and this Anon sister a couple?"
In the world of BanG Dream!, it's perfectly normal for couples to be able to legally get married.
Su Shi was deeply ashamed and shouted, "No way! How could I possibly look at such an idiot? What exactly is Xiangzi teaching you?!"
Banami smiled somewhat awkwardly, seemingly relieved.
Suddenly, Su Shi understood why he asked that question; he was probably afraid that his "stepmother" would intrude into his newly formed, still very fragile little family.
Su Shi said softly, "Let's ignore that outsider..."
Su Shi directly demoted Aine to an insignificant "outsider".
"Give me another massage on my legs, it feels surprisingly good." Su Shi exhaled softly, her eyes slightly glazed.
She didn't even know if it was because of his good technique or because the feeling of her soul being complete was due to the boy's intimate touch.
But looking into Banami's pure eyes, she even felt a little ashamed of her own dark thoughts.
A moment later, the secretary outside the door watched the woman leave. She wanted to go find the president to sign the document, but through the blinds, she could hear that strange, low moaning sound coming from inside again, like weeping and lamenting, like resentment and longing. Her cheeks flushed.
Oh dear, I can't believe it! I can't believe that President Nagasaki couldn't hold back his temper even though Ms. Aine had just left.
This is an old house that's been used for firewood, and things have gotten out of control.
Aine, who had just come downstairs, took off her decorative sunglasses, gently touched her lips, and whispered, "Soyorin's lips... why do they taste so unfamiliar..."
And that strange expression she made just now.
Although Su Shi always thought Anon was a bit silly, she was actually super smart.
Could it be that Su Shi secretly found a boyfriend?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Ai Yin turned around, ready to sneak into Su Shi's apartment to catch them cheating... no, to gather evidence of Su Shi's betrayal of their friendship!
Chapter Fifteen: Lush Greenery
Chihaya Aine, like an investigator, quietly sneaked into Nagasaki Motoyo's house, seemingly to find evidence that she had found a boyfriend.
Okay, just kidding. She didn't sneak in; she came to Su Shi's apartment openly and opened the door with her key.
As for why she had a key to the other person's house... just kidding, they've been friends since high school. Although Soyorin has never given her a friendly look, deep down she definitely considers herself a close friend (in her own opinion).
"Strange, Soyorin threw away all the frozen food? And she even used the kitchen? Could she really have a boyfriend?"
Aine knew her partner's habits well, and seeing these subtle changes made her panic.
After all, if Su Shi really gets married and starts a family, then... then she'll be all alone.
However, whether fortunately or unfortunately, apart from a slight change in the kitchen, the oblivious girl couldn't find any real trace of her boyfriend's existence. After all, the clothes drying on the balcony were still plain clothes, and there were no couple cups or anything like that.
Actually, it's because Banami only moved in last night, and she hasn't bought any clothes or other things yet.
After searching for a long time, Ai Yin was covered in sweat, but she finally felt a little relieved. She lay down on the sofa in the apartment, feeling tired, and soon fell fast asleep.
When she woke up, it was almost dusk. Because the air conditioner wasn't on, she was sweating even more. She groggily went to the bathroom, thinking she should take a shower first and surprise Su Shi when she came back.
***
It was nearly dusk. Su Shi, who had turned down social engagements and left work early, was now returning to her apartment with Banami, carrying many shopping bags.
Besides food and daily necessities, Su Shi also accompanied him to the mall and bought several sets of clothes, all according to Su Shi's taste.
For some reason, watching the boy change into the clothes she liked gave her a feeling of nurturing a young man.
"Xiaoxi, do you like the clothes I bought for you today?" Su Shi asked in a lighthearted tone.
“I like anything that Aunt Su-se buys,” Banami said honestly.
"Next time, I'll buy you a set of women's clothes." Su Shi said jokingly, gently tapping her nose, and the boy couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, the apartment's property manager approached the two and said, "Um, Ms. Nagasaki, who is this gentleman next to you?"
"Oh, this is my child, who will be living here from now on."
The property manager looked slightly surprised, but quickly smiled and said, "In that case, Miss Nagasaki, please register his identification information."
Su Shi nodded gently and then said, "Xiao Xi, you go up first, I'll be up shortly."
After saying that, Su Shi handed her key to Banami, who nodded slightly and carried the bag back to the apartment entrance.
But soon, Banami realized something was wrong; there was an unfamiliar shoe print at the door.
He couldn't help but become a little wary. In the past, he and Xiangzi's mother lived in a poor area of Tokyo. The environment there was not good. Even though the two of them didn't have anything of value in their home, they were still frequently burgled.
Therefore, Banami has a natural sensitivity and vigilance towards the footsteps of strangers.
He quietly opened the apartment door with his key, and sure enough, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
Banami's eyes immediately reddened. He had heard it from Aunt Su Shi herself: no one else lived in the apartment except for him and her.
Now, to the boy, that strange figure in the bathroom was nothing short of an aggression against Aunt Su Shi's safety and a thief trespassing on his territory.
He rushed in immediately, opened the door without saying a word, and then saw a tall figure in the mist.
"Who are you... Waaaaaaahhhhhh..."
Regardless of whether the voice sounded slightly familiar, Banami used the judo techniques personally taught to her by Shoko's mother to flip the female thief to the ground and pin her down.
"Ouch, what are you doing...you...you...where are you pressing?!" Aine's mind seemed to freeze. A boy was pressing down on her, staring at her clearly in the bathroom, and his hand was on her...
"Huh?!"
