Chapter 14: Senpai Wants Me to Wear Women’s Clothes?

A rainy park at night was deserted, except for the two of them under an umbrella.

Passing through a lush grove of trees, a Japanese-style courtyard came into view. In the center was a lake, with raindrops creating ever-expanding ripples on its surface.

The two of them stopped in front of the pond.

Arisugawa Yuu turned to look at the delicate, flawless face of the beautiful girl beside him and asked, “Miyamizu-senpai, the legendary ability user academy isn’t hidden in this lake, is it?”

Miyamizu Rin clenched her fist, coughed delicately into it, and corrected Arisugawa Yuu, “It’s not a legend.”

“Is that the focus of what I said?”

Miyamizu Rin’s imposing, beautiful eyes stared at Arisugawa Yuu, and she fell silent.

Arisugawa Yuu immediately backed down, “I’m sorry, my attitude was wrong. Senpai, please do as you wish.”

Miyamizu Rin smiled slightly, “If I said the school was at the bottom of this lake, would you jump in?”

Arisugawa Yuu scratched his head and hesitated, “Well… if it’s Miyamizu-senpai’s request, I guess I could jump in.”

Miyamizu Rin showed a faint smile, “Oh, really? Are you that obedient?”

“Of course. We have a lifelong commitment to each other, after all.”

Miyamizu Rin’s face flushed, and she said ruthlessly, “Arisugawa Yuu-san, please don’t use such misleading phrasing.”

Arisugawa Yuu sighed with some disappointment, “I thought Miyamizu-senpai had already implicitly allowed me to make some appropriate jokes.”

“I don’t dislike appropriate jokes, but only if you know when to stop.”

Arisugawa Yuu keenly grasped the key point: “So, I can continue to make jokes like this in the future?”

Miyamizu Rin brushed back her long, loose hair and said noncommittally, “Appropriate jokes can relieve psychological pressure, so I’m not opposed to them.”

Arisugawa Yuu smiled: “So that’s a yes.”

Miyamizu Rin glared at Arisugawa Yuu irritably, then pointed to a spot by the lake with her delicate hand: “Arisugawa-san, jump in from here.”

Arisugawa Yuu first stretched his neck to look at the deep lake water, then turned to look at Miyamizu Rin’s beautiful face, and asked, “Miyamizu-senpai, I can understand the setting of an ability user academy appearing in strange places, but are you sure you’re not joking?”

Miyamizu Rin’s voice was cold, with a hint of an unquestionable tone: “I’m asking you, are you going to jump or not?”

“You jump, I jump.”

Arisugawa Yuu said.

Miyamizu Rin pressed her temples with a headache, a rare look of pain on her cold, beautiful face: “Do you think you’re Jack?”

“If we’re just talking about looks, I could be.”

Miyamizu Rin couldn’t help but chuckle softly, not denying his claim of being handsome: “Even if you were Jack, I’m not Rose.”

Arisugawa Yuu nodded seriously: “Of course you’re not Rose, Miyamizu-senpai. You’re much more beautiful than Rose.”

“Even if you praise me in such a roundabout way, I won’t soften.”

“Really?”

Arisugawa Yuu stared at Miyamizu Rin’s beautiful eyes without blinking.

Miyamizu Rin unnaturally averted her gaze: “Alright, I was just joking with you. Of course, you don’t have to jump into a lake to find the school in such an absurd way.”

Arisugawa Yuu let out a sigh of relief: “I knew it. Beautiful women are the best liars.”

“Thank you.”

Miyamizu Rin responded politely.

Putting aside the matter of whether she was a liar or not, Miyamizu Rin was indeed undeniably beautiful.

By the way, her habit of holding grudges was also undeniable.

Miyamizu Rin led Arisugawa Yuu around the lake and found a pavilion with a top constantly being washed by the heavy rain.

In the pavilion was a long bench.

The seemingly ordinary bench was actually a mechanism, or perhaps, a medium would be a more appropriate term?

Miyamizu Rin made a strange hand seal, then lightly tapped the bench with her slender hand, chanting, “Open.”

The bench disappeared into thin air, and in its place, a door appeared.

Miyamizu Rin glanced at Arisugawa Yuu and said in a voice as melodious as a stream, “Arisugawa-san, please enter.”

So Arisugawa Yuu stepped inside.

To his surprise, the world behind the door looked exceptionally serene.

The first thing that came into view was a long path, paved with greenish-blue stone slabs. On both sides were stone lanterns, fox statues, and a purification trough.

Enveloping all of this were tall, lush trees.

Probably pine trees, beech trees, and the like.

Through the mottled light and shadow of the stone lanterns, a vermilion torii gate was clearly visible in the distance.

“Is it beautiful?”

Miyamizu Rin, who had followed him in at some point, asked beside Arisugawa Yuu.

Her voice was cold and melodious, matching the serene environment.

Arisugawa Yuu turned around, looked at Miyamizu Rin’s cold and beautiful face, and said with some surprise, “I didn’t expect Miyamizu-senpai to actually be a shrine maiden.”

He remembered that day when they first met, Miyamizu Rin was wearing a red and white miko outfit, worn by shrine maidens.

To be honest, it was really beautiful, especially Miyamizu Rin’s astonishingly long, snow-white, and smooth legs under the miko attire, which were so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

Of course, Miyamizu-senpai in a sailor uniform was also very beautiful.

Although it lacked a bit of the unusual charm of her red and white miko outfit, it added a touch of friendliness.

Whether she wore a miko outfit or a sailor uniform, it didn’t really matter—as long as she showed her legs.

If Miyamizu Rin wore a long dress that covered her legs, Arisugawa Yuu would have definitely insincerely said it wasn’t beautiful.

As a leg enthusiast, Arisugawa Yuu had this kind of self-awareness.

Hearing this, Miyamizu Rin chuckled softly, “What, are you surprised?”

Arisugawa Yuu shook his head: “Pleasantly so.”

Miyamizu Rin’s beautiful eyes widened slightly, a little confused: “What kind of pleasant surprise?”

“I sincerely believe that a beautiful girl like Miyamizu-senpai is already very beautiful on a daily basis, and her temperament is also surprisingly good. If you add the identity of a shrine maiden, her charm will definitely go up a notch.”

Miyamizu Rin crossed her arms, her clear, beautiful eyes staring at Arisugawa Yuu’s face, and said with a faint smile, “Oh? Is that so?”

“Of course. I’m not just flattering you. I genuinely think so.”

Arisugawa Yuu was telling the truth.

Miyamizu Rin’s face flushed, and she glared at Arisugawa Yuu: “I wasn’t talking about that.”

Arisugawa Yuu was a bit confused for a moment: “Then what was Miyamizu-senpai talking about?”

Miyamizu Rin rubbed her temples with a headache, “Arisugawa-san, you must have heard of the term ‘uniform fetish,’ right?”

Uniform fetish?

If you’re going to talk about that, then I’m wide awake.

Arisugawa Yuu’s eyebrows immediately shot up: “Of course I’ve heard of it. Whether it’s the mature onee-san style with black stockings and high heels paired with a pencil skirt and a white shirt, or the youthful girl style with a JK uniform and thigh-high socks, or even the mi… ahem… I like them all.”

Miyamizu Rin’s clear, beautiful eyes stared at Arisugawa Yuu, her tone indifferent: “Or even what, Arisugawa-san?”

Halfway through his sentence, Arisugawa Yuu had already realized why Miyamizu Rin had brought up the term ‘uniform fetish.’

Faced with the girl’s questioning, Arisugawa Yuu awkwardly changed the subject: “Speaking of which, compared to the mature and sexy onee-san style, I prefer the youthful and cute JK uniform.”

Miyamizu Rin’s face turned cold, and she said impatiently, “Arisugawa-san, I have no interest in delving into your fetishes.”

Alright.

Arisugawa Yuu had no choice but to say, “The miko uniform, I also like it very much.”

“Just ‘very much’?”

“No, it’s super, super, cosmically, ridiculously, explosively like.”

“Very good. Remember what you’ve just said.”

Miyamizu Rin clapped lightly, saying with appreciation.

Arisugawa Yuu had a vague premonition.

Sure enough, the next second, he saw a malicious smile on Miyamizu Rin’s cold and beautiful face as she said in a voice as melodious as a stream:

“Arisugawa-san, since you like the miko uniform so much, then you can try it on yourself later.”

Arisugawa Yuu: “???”
