dress. Then, as if to teasingly show off her cleavage, she whispered in a feverish, seductive tone. “Did this pique your interest?” “Wait, wh-what—?!” Masachika’s composure and gentlemanly demeanor were both utterly shattered in an instant, and he became visibly flustered. Feeling his gaze firmly fixed on her chest, Alisa’s entire body heated up. “Fufufu, what a pervert. Pervert~” Despite feeling her body burning with embarrassment to the point where she almost wanted to scream, Alisa continued to playfully tease Masachika. Then, to avoid his gaze, she leaned against his chest again. Pressing her ear against his solid chest, she felt his own heart racing just as vigorously as hers. Woah, his heart is pounding so hard... Fufu, he really is quite naughty. Still, it wasn’t a bad feeling. Being touched or looked at by him wasn’t bad, was what Alya thought. What kind of emotion was this? Even though it was still embarrassingly intense to the point where she almost wanted to scream, her heart was filled with happiness. This emotion... she had felt it somewhere before— “O-Oi, Alya? Oi~” Masachika’s voice was full of bewilderment. Amused by his tone, Alisa’s shoulders shook as she laughed. “No, what’s so amusing? If you’re not hurt, could you please let go of me?” “Oh my? Are you dissatisfied with being embraced by me?” “I-I mean, clinging to me like this—” Seeing Masachika in a state of utter distress while stumbling over his words, Alisa closed her eyes with a content smile while shuckling softly.
