Chapter 1129: Blocked in more ways than one

"Phew..."

Wu Yan sighed while was.h.i.+ng the dishes, his eyes were blank with boredom.

"Cooking is one thing, doing the dishes is so boring..."

"You're just thinking about how to slack off..."

s.h.i.+ori rolled her eyes at Wu Yan. She's also helping Wu Yan with the dishes.

"It's your turn to do the dishes. Since you cooked so many dishes for us, I decided to help. If you keep grumbling like this I am going to ditch you..."

"Fine..."

Wu Yan continued was.h.i.+ng after stretching his body.

"s.h.i.+do!"

Tohka slammed the door open. She rushed over without a semblance of elegance. Wu Yan and s.h.i.+ori almost dropped the dirty dishes.

Tohka didn't give the two any chance to say anything.

"You can do whatever want to me today! Anything is okay!"

Clatter

The dishes finally fell despite Wu Yan and s.h.i.+ori's attempt to hold them. They couldn't believe their ears, what is this girl saying? They didn't even pay attention to the shards of broken plates on the ground.

Gulp

Wu Yan sized up Tohka's voluptuous body and those impressive knockers. He thought about Tohka's offer while swallowing the saliva in his mouth. Then, he felt it...

The cold, judging, and ominous gaze piercing him...

"s.h.i.+do..."

s.h.i.+ori laughed like a banshee.

"You didn't teach Tohka some weird or unnecessary knowledge, right?..."

"No! No! No!"

Wu Yan shook his head, the cold sweat flew off his face.

"I would never do that! I didn't do anything!"

"Really?..."

s.h.i.+ori doubted Wu Yan. She turned around to give Tohka a gentle smile.

"Tohka-chan, this isn't right. Even if you two are an item, saying something like that will just make s.h.i.+do do outrageous things to you. You should refrain from saying something like this in the future..."

"E~~~"

Tohka started complaining.

"But, s.h.i.+do's and I..."

"Enough, Tohka-chan..."

s.h.i.+ori's smile had a compelling force behind it, she placed her hands on Tohka's shoulder before pus.h.i.+ng her out of the kitchen.

"I know you want to move to the next level with s.h.i.+do but anything lewd is out of the question. I will not allow s.h.i.+do to sully the purity and cleanliness of our home."

"B-but..."

Tohka continued protesting even as s.h.i.+ori pushed her out of the room. s.h.i.+ori came back with a menacing look.

"If you do

anything impure

to Tohka, you will be subjected to the sanction of the Itsuka residence, you got that?"

Wu Yan nodded while in a stunned daze.

"Uuu..."

Tohka returned to Kotori, Kurumi, and Yos.h.i.+no with a dejected look.

"I-I failed..."

Tohka leered at kurumi.

"Kurumi, you meanie! You said seduction's getting s.h.i.+do to do whatever he wants to me, didn't you? Why didn't it work?! You tricked me!"

"I..."

Kurumi placed her palm to her face.

"It slipped my mind, I forgot Tohka's totally not suited for feminine charm tactics..."

"Anyway, Tohka failed."

Kotori blocked Tohka. She's not giving her any chance to protest. She raised her voice.

"Who's next?!"

"M-me..."

Yos.h.i.+no raised her hand meekly. Kotori and Kurumi smiled at the same time.

Those are some pretentious smiles...

Looks like they're not banking on Yos.h.i.+no's good fortune...

"Good luck..."

Kurumi and Kotori wished Yos.h.i.+no well. Yos.h.i.+no's shoulder sagged while she s.h.i.+fted her gaze away.

"It's okay! Yos.h.i.+no!"

Yos.h.i.+non started dancing on Yos.h.i.+no's hand, that's her cheerleading routine.

"Yos.h.i.+non will be here to help you! If I am here, everything will be alright!"

Yos.h.i.+non gave Yos.h.i.+no the courage to go forth. She started making her way into the living room.

"s.h.i.+do, did you really not implant weird thoughts in Tohka-chan's head?!"

s.h.i.+ori started questioning Wu Yan, driving him into the corner with a very unfriendly look.

"That wasn't the usual Tohka. s.h.i.+do, she's too innocent for her own good, you absolutely must not lead her down the wrong path!"

"I really didn't do anything..."

Wu Yan wanted to cry.

"I've been was.h.i.+ng dishes with you since the beginning. She ran over to say something like that, even I am shocked..."

"Really?"

s.h.i.+ori still doubted Wu Yan. She's trying to see if Wu Yan's lying through her intense gaze. She sighed after failing to spot anything.

"Fine, let's leave it for now..."

s.h.i.+ori lowered her head.

"Seriously, I need to have a little chat with Tohka-chan, I need to fix her mindset..."

"Ahaha..."

Wu Yan awkwardly laughed.

Then, the door creaked open as a slightly shy girl peered into the living room. The lovely blushed maxed out her cuteness.

"I-I am sorry for disturbing you guys..."

"Hmm?"

Wu Yan and s.h.i.+ori were about to get back to doing the dishes when Yos.h.i.+no's weird behavior piqued their interest. s.h.i.+ori was immediately charmed by Yos.h.i.+no's timid look. Wu Yan also got dazed by her.

"Y-Yos.h.i.+no?"

Wu Yan recovered from his moe-dazed state. Wu Yan touched the plates near him.

"Aren't you supposed to be in the bath? It's your bath time, you know..."

"I... I..."

Yos.h.i.+no stopped hiding behind the door while blus.h.i.+ng like mad.

Wu Yan placed the dishes down after noticing something weird. He squatted down in front of Yos.h.i.+no.

"Is something the matter?"

Wu Yan's radiant smile dazzled Yos.h.i.+no, she couldn't speak, red like a tomato, she stood there.

"That's so unfair of you, s.h.i.+do-kun..."

Yos.h.i.+non giggled while placing its puppet hands over its mouth.

"Didn't you say it's time for her bath?"

"Yeah..."

Wu Yan is curious as to why Yos.h.i.+non brought this up.

"Anything wrong with that/"

"Gosh, she's here to see you when it's her bath time, do you still need anything more than that?"

Yos.h.i.+non waved her tiny little hands.

"She's here to invite you into the bath~"

"Ha?"

Wu Yan looked at Yos.h.i.+no. It's no good, she's already giving off steam and her eyes are whirling around.

"Oh, if that's the case then wait until I..."

"No need!"

s.h.i.+ori cut him short. The next instant, Yos.h.i.+no's already in the air.

"Uuu..."

s.h.i.+ori rubbed her face against Yos.h.i.+no's cheek.

"Let me accompany Yos.h.i.+no!"

"Eh..."

Yos.h.i.+no gasped. She didn't think this would happen. s.h.i.+ori took this as a "Yes" signal. She hugged Yos.h.i.+no before waving at Wu Yan.

"That's that, s.h.i.+do, you do the dishes by yourself. I am going to take a bath with Yos.h.i.+no-chan!"

s.h.i.+ori grabbed a shrieking Yos.h.i.+no as she dashed over to the bathroom. Yos.h.i.+non can't say anything because Yos.h.i.+no's screaming. Her tactic to hide her embarra.s.sment with her puppet will be exposed if Yos.h.i.+non spoke while Yos.h.i.+no is shrieking.

A talking puppet would probably make s.h.i.+ori faint in shock.

Yos.h.i.+non faked her silence as s.h.i.+ori dragged Yos.h.i.+no into the bathroom...

Wu Yan's lip twitched when s.h.i.+ori disappeared into the bathroom.

"Why does something feel off about this?"
