To be honest, Yuuko didn't know why Sayu wanted to hide.
But since she was hiding now, she definitely couldn't be exposed.
Otherwise, if Yae Miko saw a loli hidden in his bed...
That would be the end of everything!
Imagine this: one day, your female boss visits your home and discovers a loli hidden in your bed... wouldn't that be utterly devastating on the spot?
He would be labeled a perverted loli-con!
Yuuko didn't want to live with such a title in the future... In any case, since she was already hidden, she definitely couldn't be exposed... Cold sweat broke out on Yuuko's forehead, and the smile on his face was very stiff.
"By the way, Yuuko, didn't you say you were going to pour tea? Why are you in the room?"
"Hahaha, I just remembered the cups were in the room... Hahaha..." Yuuko explained, clasping his hands behind his back.
Yae Miko frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
She looked past Yuuko into the room and asked again:
"Did you get the cups out?"
"Of course." Yuuko smiled, taking his hands from behind his back to reveal a dark ceramic cup.
Yae Miko looked at the cup, her brows furrowing again.
She remembered there shouldn't be such a cup in the house.
And Yuuko's flustered appearance also made her very suspicious.
She eyed the room suspiciously, looking past Yuuko.
But Yuuko was also intentionally or unintentionally blocking Yae Miko's line of sight... Yae Miko said with a serious expression:
"I say, Yuuko... you wouldn't be hiding a woman at home, would you... Just kidding."
"Hahaha, Chief Editor Yae, you really know how to joke!" More cold sweat appeared on Yuuko's forehead.
Yae Miko's expression softened, and she also smiled:
"You're right, with Yuuko's character, how could he possibly hide a woman at home?"
"Exactly, hahahaha." Yuuko scratched his head, laughing loudly.
"So, can I visit Yuuko's room?" Suddenly, Yae Miko changed the subject.
"Uh..." Yuuko was slightly stunned, then hastily said:
"Hahaha, my room is very messy, so there's no need. Chief Editor Yae, just wait for me in the living room."
"What does it matter? Just let me come in and take a look."
"No, no... There's really nothing to see..."
Seeing this, Yae Miko pondered for a moment, then leaned her face close to Yuuko's ear:
"I'm actually quite curious how soft Yuuko's bed is, and how comfortable~"
"Uh..." Yuuko was momentarily stunned by this suggestive remark.
By the time he reacted, he realized that the scum woman had already taken advantage of his momentary daze to force her way into the room.
This also caused cold sweat to stream down Yuuko's forehead.
If Yae Miko saw a loli hidden in his bed, and this matter got out, he would truly be finished!
"Hehehe, Yuuko's room is quite unique, even if it looks a bit simple, it has all the basics..."
Yae Miko began to wander around the room.
On the surface, she pretended to be entering the room for the first time, observing it.
In reality, she was searching for something in the room... Yae Miko felt as if something was hidden in the room, and she was inexplicably annoyed... Yuuko's personality shouldn't be the type to hide a woman at home... Yae Miko kept reassuring herself, smiling constantly as she scanned the room.
Suddenly, Yae Miko's gaze fixed on the bed.
The large bed, capable of accommodating two people, had a significant bulge under the quilt... Yae Miko's smile instantly froze, and she prepared to lift the quilt.
Just then, Yuuko, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat, blocked Yae Miko's path.
"Chief Editor Yae, there's no need to look around anymore. Let's go to the living room to discuss business."
Seeing Yuuko's guilty look, as if he had been caught in the act, Yae Miko's brows immediately furrowed.
The more guilty Yuuko appeared, the more suspicious Yae Miko became.
"Hehe, don't be so anxious, Yuuko. Your room's bed is really big, and the quilt is wide. How many people can it accommodate? Could it be... that someone is hidden under the quilt?"
Having her words hit the mark, Yuuko's cold sweat increased... Yes, Sayu was lying under the quilt...
Although, to be precise, Sayu wasn't a loli.
But with her loli-like appearance, no matter how Yuuko tried to explain, would Yae Miko believe him?
He wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into a river!
Seeing Yuuko blocking the bed, Yae Miko said coldly:
"Yuuko, are you hiding something? You wouldn't really be hiding a woman or something under the quilt, would you?"
As she said this, Yae Miko's expression was very
Yae Miko fell into thought, then after a moment, she opened her mouth and chuckled:
"By the way, Yuuko, what color underwear do you usually like? Do you like hollow ones?"
"Uh..." Yae Miko's sudden suggestive remark made Yuuko freeze again for a while.
By the time he reacted, Yae Miko had already bypassed him, reached the bed, and placed one hand on the quilt.
Seeing this, Yuuko despaired.
It's over! It's over!
From now on... he would probably be labeled a perverted loli-con... Then, Yae Miko grabbed the quilt and suddenly flipped it open!
Only to find... inside the quilt, there was actually a tanuki-shaped roly-poly doll.
This scene made both Yae Miko and Yuuko slightly stunned.
"This is..."
Yuuko was quick-witted and immediately stepped forward, explaining with a smile:
"Hahahaha, a doll I bought recently, I threw it on the bed and forgot to put it away... Hahahaha..."
Yae Miko frowned, continuing to stare at the tanuki-shaped roly-poly doll, feeling a sense of familiarity.
It seemed she had seen it somewhere before... Just as Yae Miko was about to say something else, Yuuko grabbed her hand, intending to pull her out of the room:
"Chief Editor Yae, let's go out and talk business!"
Yae Miko had originally wanted to stay in the room and try to remember where she had seen that tanuki roly-poly doll.
But feeling the touch of Yuuko's palm on her hand.
Yae Miko didn't resist.
After all, this was the first time Yuuko had actively held her hand.
Looking at Yuuko's back, Yae Miko secretly muttered to herself:
Yuuko's behavior just now was too suspicious, hmm... but never mind, the feeling of being actively held by the hand is quite nice... Just like that, Yuuko finally avoided the situation of social death.
He brought Yae Miko back to the living room.
Although he didn't know when Sayu had slipped away, being able to avoid social death and being labeled a perverted loli-con...
Then it was fine!
Yuuko was just a hair's breadth away from social death!
