Chapter 69: You Shouldn’t Mind, Right?

Smooch!

Without a shadow of a doubt, Ruri Hosokawa stood no chance of dodging Quillan’s lips.

Even though she turned her head in time, Quillan pursued her and captured her small mouth. This time, Quillan had no intention of letting her off so easily. While kissing her, he adjusted her head straight with his hand and pushed his tongue against her tightly clenched teeth!

“Mmh… Mmph…”

Ruri could only emit muffled grunts while her small hands pounded continuously against Quillan’s shoulders, so Quillan simply wrapped his arm around her!

Beside them, Haruka Himuro could only stare in stunned silence. Ruri’s face flushed bright red; she couldn’t move an inch or do a thing, and under Quillan’s relentless assault, even her defensive bite was on the verge of collapsing!

Finally unable to hold out any longer, Ruri loosened her teeth to catch her breath, but Quillan seized the opportunity to slip his tongue inside!

“Ah…”

A strange sound escaped her, and Ruri instantly came to her senses. Realizing she had actually let out such an embarrassing noise while being kissed by Quillan, sheer humiliation washed over her, giving her the burst of strength to shove him away!

“Quillan, you jerk!” Ruri shouted in fury.

“Ruri, Master…”

Haruka Himuro seemed completely petrified. This was the second time—the second time Quillan and Ruri had kissed right in front of her!

Of the three, only Quillan remained utterly unbothered. Looking at the hysterical Ruri and the stunned Haruka, Quillan smiled faintly and said as if nothing had happened, “Hey, you two, are you heading back or not? If you’re not going, I’m leaving! Hey, Class President-san, this kiss was my gift to you. You shouldn’t mind, right? It’s just a kiss, after all.”

With that, Quillan strolled toward the bus stop.

“How can he be like this?! He kissed me without my permission and acts like it’s no big deal!” Ruri watched Quillan’s departing back, then clung to Haruka and began to sob: “Haruka, did you see that? I told you this Quillan is a jerk—a despicable jerk!”

“Ruri…”

Haruka spoke up, but to Ruri’s surprise, she didn’t offer words of comfort. Instead, she asked curiously, “What does it feel like… to kiss Master?”

“Eh?” Ruri froze and stopped crying, staring straight at Haruka with a look of utter bewilderment.

“I’m so envious, Ruri!” Haruka forced a strained, awkward smile onto her face. Then, shaking her head, she noticed the bus approaching and suddenly grabbed Ruri’s hand, sprinting toward the stop while calling out, “Ruri, hurry up! If we miss the bus, we’ll have to take a taxi again!”

“Haruka, you’re… so weird…” Ruri couldn’t quite understand. She had assumed that even if Haruka didn’t comfort her, she would at least be as worked up as she was last night after catching her and Quillan kissing.

Yet this time, Haruka acted surprisingly calm!

Ruri suddenly felt as though she couldn’t see through Haruka’s thoughts anymore.

What’s wrong with Haruka? She shouldn’t be reacting like this… Looks like I need to find a chance to ask her alone!

Preoccupied with her thoughts, Ruri didn’t even realize how she had boarded the bus.

Once inside, she found herself sitting right in front of Quillan alongside Haruka. Quillan was sitting directly behind her, staring straight at the back of her head…

Just a short while ago, she had been forcibly kissed by this jerk, and his taste still lingered in her mouth!

At the thought of this, Ruri couldn’t help but blush. She turned around to glare at Quillan before snapping her head back, refusing to look behind her again.

Quillan was more than happy to have Ruri ignore him. In his eyes, it would be best if Ruri grew to utterly despise him because of this; that way, he could finally shake off a nuisance like her!

Otherwise, given Ruri’s personality, she might turn into another Victoria Quinn in the future, which would give Quillan a massive headache!

However, Ruri’s personality differed from Victoria Quinn’s, and she wasn’t as formidable. As long as Quillan kept a tight rein on things, denied her any room to maneuver, and kept her suppressed, there shouldn’t be any major issues!

The bus continued forward while Quillan kept an eye out the window for the street signs. As they approached the intersection near Miyuki Sakurai’s house, Quillan stood up and said to Haruka, “Himuro, you go ahead to the cafe first. Please let Sister Ai know that I have a quick errand to run and should arrive in about twenty minutes!”

“Oh, alright!” Haruka thought it over, then whispered softly in Quillan’s ear, “Master, please be careful!”

“Thanks…”

Quillan replied blankly. Truth be told, Haruka’s obedient and docile demeanor around him made his heart flutter with uncertainty, leaving him thoroughly uneasy.

To be honest, Quillan didn’t even feel this way toward Ruri. To him, a tsundere rich girl like Ruri was just a watered-down version of Victoria Quinn. Although Victoria Quinn was the woman Quillan feared most, he felt confident he could suppress a weaker clone!

Haruka, on the other hand, left Quillan at a total loss on how to handle her. He felt that she was a girl with incredibly strong conviction—someone whom others couldn’t control at all.

What made matters worse was that her strong conviction drove her to recognize Quillan as her master and rely on him as her pillar!

A woman’s mind, indeed!

Quillan shook his head, feeling that he had truly been set up by that guy Gavin this time!

Only a few short days after arriving in Japan, he was already bogged down in trouble!

Accompanying Miyuki Sakurai home led to a misunderstanding with her parents; spanking the martial artist girl Kaoru Amatsuki somehow gave her the idea to practice and spar with him, with no telling how that would turn out; and his beautiful teacher, Norika Harada, was the biggest mess of all—not only had they spent an ambiguous night together, but he was now her fake boyfriend, and her father, Gyousuke Harada, was even planning an engagement for them…

On top of that, at the Moe Jam Cafe, a group of frantic female customers had actually formed a fan club for him!

And now, on this bus, there were two more girls who seemed tangled up with him as well…

“What on earth is happening to me?”

Quillan laughed self-deprecatingly, only to hear a cute voice nearby: “Quillan, is that you?”

Looking in the direction of the voice, Quillan smiled and greeted her, “Sakurai-san, here I am!”

“That’s wonderful!” Miyuki appeared thrilled. She jogged over to his side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and clasped her hands over her chest in an expression of bliss. “I was worried you couldn’t make it because you were busy!”

“Miyuki!”

Just then, a voice called out to Miyuki from behind. Quillan and Miyuki both turned around at the same time and saw a long-haired beauty who looked nearly identical to Miyuki—though with a far more voluptuous figure—smiling warmly in their direction.

Miyuki’s face flushed red, and she looked at the woman with a hint of annoyance: “Sister, why… why did you come over? Didn’t you say you were just going to the shop over there to buy a few things and then head home?”
