Not wanting to be thought of as just a pretty face, Aira has always aimed to polish both her mind and body.
Back in middle school, she had some decent achievements as a member of the tennis club and now she's attending a prep school that's well-known in Tokyo.
Ever since she heard someone say, "All she's got is a pretty face," behind her back, she got worked up and devoted her efforts toward being more than that.
Even though she doesn't even remember the face of the person who said that.
"...I think I got it."
She reviews her lessons while sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall.
Since her final exams are next month, she's studying even on the weekend.
In order to get into her university of choice, she has no intention of easing up on her studies.
It has been two hours since Ema's friend arrived and Aira spent the whole time studying in the bedroom.
"..."
Remembering the kiss from earlier, she puts her pencil aside.
During that lewd kiss, Ema touched her thigh and ear, but never directly laid her hands on the critical parts.
However, since Aira has no experience, she's at Ema's mercy just from those titillating touches.
Aira and Ema are not lovers.
Nor are they sex friends.
They are cousins who are not related by blood.
Even so, Ema touched her thigh and they exchanged passionate kisses.
Despite that, Aira doesn't hate it at all.
She has had no sexual experience so far, but she's gradually becoming more familiar with feelings of pleasure.
Aira lets out a sigh over her situation and hears a knock before the door opens.
Ema looks in and then beckons to Aira.
"Aira, do you have a moment?"
"Why?"
"Nevermind that and just come out. I'll give you some candy later."
Did Ema think Aira is so much of a kid that she'd be lured by the promise of candy?
She's already a high schooler, so she's willing to hear her out without a bribe.
Aira goes to the living room and finds a charming woman who seems to be Ema's friend.
"Cute~! She's super cute. You have no idea how much I envy you for getting to live with a high school girl, Ema."
The giddy woman pulls Aira into a tight hug.
Aira's shoulders twitch in surprise. Unable to just watch any longer, Ema lends a helping hand.
"Komari, you're scaring Aira."
"Ah, sorry..."
The woman named Komari releases Aira with an apologetic look on her face.
She smiles, showing her fang-like teeth which makes her look even more charming.
"I'm Endou Komari. I've been Ema's friend since our university days."
"I'm Hoshimiya Aira..."
"I've heard about you from Ema~ She said she's living with a super cute high school girl."
Hearing that description, Aira glances at Ema.
"Is that how you've been introducing me?"
Since she's always making fun of Aira, Aira thought this would be a good opportunity to get back at her.

She is innocent They are manipulative She plays it safe They thrive in danger She likes her normal life They rule the world of crime She didn't know they existed ...
She thought Ema would get embarrassed, but Ema is a few steps ahead of her.
"It's the truth, isn't it?"
She didn't look the least bit fazed. In fact, her answer is quite dignified.
Aira feels like she's the one who will end up getting embarrassed, so she turns her face away.
"Cute."
"Isn't she?"
"Can I take a picture of Aira-chan?"
"Absolutely not."
After getting some freshly brewed coffee from the kitchen, the three sit on the sofa.
Aira is sitting in the middle with Komari to her right and Ema to her left.
"You see, I'm working on a story about a female high school student..."
"Working on a story...?"
"Komari is a mangaka. She's been drawing manga since university and now she's made it her career."
Aira may have focused on academics and sports, but she has not studied the arts, so she respects those who have the ability to draw.
"What kind of story is it?"
"A love story. If it's okay with you, I'd like to ask you some questions to figure out what's popular with high school girls nowadays... I've been meeting with Ema to talk about that as well."
Hearing such an innocent request from Komari, Aira's guilt towards Ema stirs once again.
She worked herself up into doubting her and then even tried to interrogate her.
"Yes, of course. Ask away."
"Really? Thank you."
Komari takes out a tablet from her tote bag and opens a document.
There are several questions written on it and she starts reading them in order from the top.
"Let's get started. What kind of sweets are you into these days?"
"Ddungcarons (Korean-style macarons), I guess... Not particularly for the taste, but they look cute."
"Ddungcarons... I've never heard of them before. Next question. Is there anything you want right now?"
"I heard there was a limited-time offer on an assortment of department store brand perfume... I want to try some different scents so I'm interested in it."
Since Aira is only being asked about things she's interested in, she answers while smiling.
Just imagining the things she wants and cute sweets brings a smile to her face.
"Next, what are some things you'd like to do with a lover?"
"Eh..."
Her smile from before turns into a twitch.
Now they're talking about love, a topic that's not Aira's strong suit. To add to that, Ema is sitting to her immediate left.
She answers quietly while trying her best to avoid looking left.
"Things I'd like to do...?"
"Yes, anything is fine."
"I guess just the normal things, like going on dates... and all of that."
"What kind of dates?"
"Uh... Like seeing a movie or going to an amusement park or something..."
Aira lifts her legs and puts her arms around her knees while sitting on the sofa.
Since she doesn't have any experience dating, she desperately tries to recall the situations she's seen in magazines and manga.
"What's your ideal situation for a kiss?"
"Kiss...!?"
The kiss she had just shared with Ema immediately comes to mind.
She can't help but get embarrassed when she recalls how their tongues entwined.
Seeing Aira looking away, Komari skillfully navigates the conversation.
"Ah, sorry about that. That was probably sexual harassment."
"Ah, no... I wasn't exactly... well..."
"Aira gets shy easily. If there's anything else you want to ask, send me them in a file. I'll get Aira to write her answers and send them back. That should be easier than answering out loud."
Ema, who usually torments Aira by teasing her, becomes kind at times like these.
Aira feels extremely grateful to her for extending a helping hand.
"I'm sorry..."
"Don't worry about it. I'm also to blame for not being delicate enough around a girl who's going through puberty."
"If you're writing romance manga, I've read some as well... If it's okay with you, can you tell me the title of your works?"
Suddenly, Komari stammers over her answer similar to Aira earlier.
Even though she was so chatty just earlier, now she seems tongue-tied.
"Well..."
"Komari is straight but she's a yuri lover who writes yuri manga."
"Hey, Ema...!"
In other words, everything Aira just said will be used in a manga about girls in love with each other.
Seeing the bewildered look on Aira's face, Komari tries to reassure her.
"Don't worry! I'm definitely not going to use you two for my story! Ah, it's about time for me to head home."
Komari grabs her tote bag and dashes out of the apartment.
Aira confirms her suspicions with Ema.
"Hey, Ema... she's basing her story on..."
"The two of us, probably..."
Ema doesn't seem sure either. She lets out a sigh of exasperation.
"...Well, she'll at least change the names and some other details."
"Ye-yeah..."
"She's been a huge yuri fan since our university days."
Ema grabs a cigarette on the table and brings it to her mouth.
After lighting it up, she inhales, savoring the taste.
"So, what's your ideal situation for a kiss?"
"...I don't have anything particular in mind."
"It's not like it's a big deal. Just tell me."
"In that case, what is yours, Ema?"
After removing the cigarette, she blows some smoke toward Aira.
The intense smell causes Aira to reflexively cough.
"Cough... what are you doing?"
"I see what you mean now. I don't really want to say it."
After rubbing the cigarette on the ashtray, Ema stands up.
She grabs the room key which is in its usual place and turns away from Aira.
"Well, I better go to Komari."
"Eh...?"
"She can't use the elevator without a key."
Even after Ema leaves the apartment, her expression from earlier doesn't leave Aira's mind.
Her eyes were forlorn and unusually cold as she seemed to stare far off into the distance.
That was Aira's first time seeing Ema look like that.
She's surprised that Ema could make that kind of face and she couldn't help but feel like there's some kind of deeper meaning behind it.
