My girlfriend is actually myself.

Chapter 57 Cherry Blossom Pudding

Stare~

Sakura Nene held the beverage bag, her eyes half-closed, staring intently at Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune.

The couple not only completed the challenge perfectly but also set a new event record, so the merchant gave them an extra drink. However, the girl was not happy at all.

"What's wrong?" Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune poked her cheeks from either side.

"You didn't kiss at all! It's cheating!" the girl pointed and shouted.

After she held up the cardboard, their faces appeared to kiss, but it was actually a trick of perspective; they just touched cheeks!

"Don't worry about the details." Shiraishi Saku patted her head.

"The coffee shop is just ahead," Yukimiya Natsune changed the subject.

Before the girl could protest any longer, Shiraishi Saku had already strode open the coffee shop door. The sound of a bell attracted the attention of the three people inside.

"My name is Sakura Nene. Thank you all for taking care of me, older brothers and sisters." The girl introduced herself.

Shiraishi Saku put down the snacks and headed to the changing room with the girl. The maid in charge of discipline was distracted by the girl, and Shiraishi Saku took the opportunity to lead the girl into the men's changing room, which was reserved for him.

It's been a long time since we swapped work uniforms, and I feel a sense of relief that it's hard to come by.

Shiraishi Saku helps the girl take off her JK school uniform, while Yukimiya Natsune helps the boy take off his high school suit.

While changing clothes, Shiraishi Saku thought about his sister's accusation. How could he possibly do such a thing in front of everyone? Not withdrawing from the competition on the spot was already a sacrifice.

However, once they entered the locker room, it wasn't considered a public place anymore. He looked at her, and she looked at him, closing the distance between them.

The girl's lips were a little cool, and the soft, bouncy texture was like yesterday's pudding. Judging by the color, it should be cherry blossom flavored.

He and she looked up, arms crossed, lost in thought.

There wasn't anything particularly special about it; my heartbeat was steady, and my blood flow was normal. If I were to kiss Asakura, it might be even more exciting.

However, there is a feeling of intimacy that is more intimate than just being close together normally, which can be described as "closeness plus". The sensory experience is like the warm winter sun or the swimming pool in summer. There is no intense part, only a calm and comfortable feeling.

The sense of rejection he had anticipated did not materialize. Upon reflection, it made sense; why would he reject himself?

Perhaps I overthought things before.

Shiraishi Saku raised his hand, his fingertips tracing the cherry-colored lips of the young girl.

"Knock knock knock".

A knock sounded on the door, and the discipline maid's voice came: "Young Master Shuo and Miss Yukimiya, please observe the proper etiquette in the changing room."

They've pinned a huge charge on us!

After quickly getting dressed, Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune walked out of the dressing room.

Sakura Nene was standing by the counter, staring at Tsukimiya Aoi with wide eyes, making "Sukimiya Ichi" sounds repeatedly.

Tsukimiya Aoi's eyes narrowed with pleasure; she was quite pleased with the girl's compliments.

Saku Shiraishi and Natsumi Yukimiya each made a cup of coffee using two other coffee machines.

Milk foam is poured in and churns in the coffee. Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune pick up latte art needles and shape the milk foam into the shape of a human face. Then they color it with chocolate to create a pattern of a girl with twin tails.

"Wow, am I supposed to drink my own?" Sakura Nene looked conflicted.

Shiraishi Saku noticed a flash of jealousy in Tsukimiya Aoi's eyes; she had never been drawn as a young girl before.

But seeing the snacks and drinks, the proud mother became happy again, as this was the first time she had fed her adopted daughter.

Asakura Chihaya stood to the side, wanting to remind her mistress that although her mistress had participated in the purchase, the one who was actually feeding her was Sakura Nene.

The shop gave the three complimentary drinks to Aoi Tsukimiya, Yuko Takahashi, and Chihaya Asakura. The daifuku was placed on the table. Nene Sakuraba looked at the three cups of coffee, pondering which one to drink first, and finally decided to try a sip of each one.

Milk foam clung to her lips, and Chihaya Asakura picked up a tissue and wiped it off for the girl.

……

When Airi Asakura pushed open the door of the coffee shop, she was greeted by this harmonious and joyful scene of family happiness.

Upon hearing the bell, everyone in the room turned to look at her, their surprise staring back at her as if she were an intruder.

Airi Asakura took a step back, unable to believe her eyes.

She saw the photos of her mother and Shiraishi-kun yesterday and didn't sleep all night. After school, she changed her clothes and went straight to the coffee shop to find out what was going on. She didn't expect to see this inside!

Yukimiya-chan, Shiraishi-kun, and Manager Takahashi are one thing, but why are Mom and Madam here too?!

Madam, aren't you a workaholic? Mom, aren't you so busy that you don't even have time to eat with me?

And what's with that girl with pigtails?! Why is there someone I don't recognize next to you?! And why are you wiping her mouth with such a loving expression, Mom?!

I am your most beloved daughter!

It's bad enough that he secretly went on a date with Shiraishi-kun without me, but now I'm not even allowed to receive any maternal love?!

Airi Asakura was heartbroken. She had always thought she had a good relationship with everyone, but it turned out she was just an outsider!

"Is he a guest?" Sakura Nene asked, puzzled.

She looked at Airi Asakura, her gaze sweeping over the other's bizarre attire and exquisite makeup, her face filled with longing.

This is the kind of fashionable woman she admires!

"We're friends," Yukimiya Natsune replied.

Shiraishi Saku placed his hand on his sister's shoulder and introduced her to Asakura Airi: "This is Sakuraba Nene."

Airi Asakura's gaze fell on the boy's hands. Not only her own mother, but even Shiraishi-kun was so intimate with the girl! She had never had Shiraishi-kun massage her shoulders before!

Where did you come from, Xiao Si?!

Look closely, although Xiao Si is wearing a school sailor uniform and is not wearing makeup, her bangs are obviously carefully styled, and the ribbons used to tie her pigtails are also the latest trendy style. Coupled with her energetic face, isn't this her own persona?

Airi Asakura's alarm bells were ringing. This girl who suddenly appeared had not only stolen her mother and Shiraishi-kun, but was also trying to replace her in terms of persona!

You despicable scoundrel! I, Airi Asakura, will never forgive you!

"She's my sister," Shiraishi Saku continued.

"So it's Sakuraha-neechan!" Asakura Airi's hostility instantly turned into friendliness as she warmly introduced herself and came to the dining table.

The more she looked at the girl, the cuter she found her; she was like a little angel!

This is Shiraishi-kun's sister!

"Asakura-neechan," Sakura Nene greeted sweetly.

This nickname makes it feel like she's a couple with her brother. Asakura Airi happily took the girl's hand, pointed to the candy-shaped hair ties on her twin tails, and talked about the recent trend.

It's rare for Sakura Nene to find someone with similar tastes. Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune don't care about fashion at all. Her peers at school have a rather childish aesthetic sense, but Asakura Airi in front of her is exactly the kind of person she's looking for.

The two chattered away, making it even more lively than Bai Shishuo's side.
