Chapter 709 - 709: Girl's First Time

"To dig up such a well-hidden case, Police Chief Ikazuchi is truly a goddess detective, amazing!"

"No need to emphasize goddess part, Police Chief Ikazuchi is already a Super Inspector!"

On the way to submit evidence, some perceptive colleagues had already started calling Ikazuchi Rika by her new title of Senior Superintendent, while others who weren't as quick-witted kept praising Ikazuchi Rika's case-solving abilities.

After all, Ikazuchi Rika had a Deputy Commissioner father backing her, and her consecutive solved cases truly proved her capability.

Everyone liked to butter up someone on the rise, so the praise came in waves.

And although Ikazuchi Rika appeared calm and composed on the surface, inside she was absolutely over the moon.

Before long, she even received rare words of praise from her Deputy Commissioner father.

All of this made her beam with delight, her vanity overwhelmingly satisfied.

But even while riding high, Ikazuchi Rika didn't forget that all of this came through Hikari's help.

If she wanted to keep solving cases and maintain her reputation as a goddess detective and Super Inspector, she still needed to rely on Hikari.

Ikazuchi Rika, who already had strong feelings for Hikari, decided she would take the initiative to maintain their relationship even more from now on.

"It's just... every time I see Hikari-kun's face, I can't help thinking about that day..."

In her office, alone by herself, Police Chief Ikazuchi recalled that scene and couldn't help blushing again.

Ever since that time she and Hikari had put on a real show next to those drug dealers, getting so heated that they were only one final step away from truly consummating things, Ikazuchi Rika had been thinking about it constantly lately.

Thinking about Hikari's burning body heat, his firm build...

Because she kept dreaming of that amorous scene, she'd been indulging in solo activities much more frequently lately.

That dry little brother of hers was truly impossibly handsome, and had such a great physique too... he was practically her perfect ideal type.

"No, no... I can't keep thinking about this!"

"If this keeps up, our sibling relationship will change completely!"

"He's still a student, I can't make a move on him!"

To avoid doing something wrong and to restrain her desires, Ikazuchi Rika decided that tonight, she'd use Hikari's photos and cast her silent water magic two more times than usual..

[On the Other Side]

After parting ways with Ikazuchi Rika, Hikari hailed a cab and took Hisatono Kasui back to her apartment building.

Just as Hikari was about to turn and leave, Hisatono Kasui suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

"Um... Hikari-kun..."

"Could you... stay with me a little longer?"

"I'm alone at home, and so much happened today. I'd be a bit... scared by myself..."

Hisatono Kasui lowered her head and pleaded in a humble tone.

Hikari turned to look at her.

On the girl's fair face, a trace of lingering pale still remained from the situation she'd experienced.

It was understandable when he thought about it.

After all, she'd been threatened to go out to the outskirts today and surrounded by so many people.

Even her cousin had been victimized and trampled upon.

So many things had happened that an ordinary girl might never encounter in a lifetime.

It wasn't surprising that Hisatono Kasui felt uneasy inside.

"Alright," Hikari agreed.

"Thank you, Hikari-kun!", Hisatono Kasui immediately broke into a happy, excited smile.

Then she took the initiative to grab Hikari's hand and pulled him upstairs.

Feeling the girl's fingers trembling slightly from nervousness, and the thin layer of sweat on her palm, Hikari let her lead him without resistance.

After climbing several flights of stairs, Hisatono Kasui pulled Hikari to a door, fished out her keys from her pocket, and prepared to unlock it.

It was just opening a door, but for some reason, her hand kept trembling as if she were very nervous, and the key wouldn't line up with the keyhole.

"Let me," Hikari took the keys from her, inserted them, turned them with a flick, and easily opened the door.

"Sorry for the trouble, Hikari-kun. I'm so glad you're here with me...", Hisatono Kasui thanked Hikari again.

Then she welcomed him inside.

The apartment wasn't very large, probably a place Hisatono Kasui had rented to make it easier to attend school.

But it was decorated quite nicely, neat and cozy in every way, fitting her pure and lovely girl image perfectly.

Hisatono Kasui first prepared snacks and drinks for Hikari.

Then she spoke somewhat nervously, "Um... Hikari-kun, I'd like to take a shower. But being alone at home still makes me a bit scared. Could you stay with me a little longer?"

"Sure," Seeing that Hisatono Kasui had laid out a large spread of snacks and sodas in good faith, Hikari casually popped open a can of Pepsi and nodded.

"Thank you, Hikari-kun!", After thanking him, Hisatono Kasui hurriedly grabbed her change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.

As the sound of rushing water came through, Hikari looked up.

Steam enveloped the bathroom door, mist swirling in the air, and through the light, a curvaceous silhouette could be glimpsed, faintly visible yet alluring.

"Says she's scared alone, but inviting a guy over and showering right in front of him is pretty dangerous too," Hikari shook his head at Hisatono Kasui's lack of caution.

Soon, the water stopped.

Hisatono Kasui slowly stepped out of the bathroom.

She'd taken in plenty of clothes, but when she came out, the girl was wrapped in only a bath towel.

Maybe the towel was a few years old and a bit small, it didn't quite fit.

Her developed figure was barely covered below.

A good portion of her smooth, shapely legs were left bare.

Meeting Hikari's gaze, Hisatono Kasui's face turned red.

But despite her shyness, she didn't look away. Instead, she hurried toward Hikari without regard for the revealing view.

And then, she sat straight down in his lap.

The girl's scent wafted over as her warm, soft form suddenly settled into his arms.

Caught off guard by this sudden windfall, Hikari paused, "Kasui-san, you're..."

"Hikari-kun, I like you!", Hisatono Kasui said, her face red as she suddenly looked up.

"I know, a lot of girls have probably said this to you already... but I still have to say it."

"Back at the KTV, if you hadn't saved me, Anjou Takaya would definitely have defiled me, and my life would have been ruined."

"Your kindness to me is like saving my life, but I can't repay you with my life."

"So, I want to use my... you know... to... to repay you..."

Hisatono Kasui's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely a whisper.

If not for Hikari's sharp hearing, he wouldn't have been able to make out what she was saying.

Hikari didn't look particularly surprised by this.

The signs of Hisatono Kasui's unusual behavior had given him some warning.

And this wasn't the first time he'd seen this scene either.

Still, looking at the pure girl in his arms, blushing all the way to the tips of her ears in that alluring way, Hikari kept his cool and asked, "Are you sure? You've never done anything like this before, right?"

Hisatono Kasui's face turned even redder, a mix of embarrassment and helplessness as she gave a wry smile, "Hikari-kun, I really haven't had a boyfriend before and have no experience."

"But... that time in the KTV bathroom when you helped detoxify me... we already went that far. I don't want to give myself to any other man for the rest of my life."

"To be honest, these past few nights, before bed I've been thinking about... thinking about you, Hikari-kun, and dreaming of you too..."

"So I'm very sure, Hikari-kun. I won't regret this!"

Hisatono Kasui's tone was resolute, and she even took the initiative to spread her arms, not caring that her towel was slipping, and tightly wrapped them around Hikari's neck.

Seeing the innocent girl cast aside her shyness and be so brave.Hikari didn't hesitate either, he wrapped his arm around her impossibly slender waist.

Then lowered his head and kissed her.

Hisatono Kasui blushed and closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly, her long lashes fluttering nervously like a butterfly's wings about to take flight into the unknown.

She satisfied every one of Hikari's demands while earnestly seeking his guidance on how to improve herself.

Faced with such an eager and humble student, Hikari held nothing back. He refined his teachings and poured out all his knowledge.

Helping her transform from a completely inexperienced fledgling into someone capable of standing on her own, and even becoming a well-coordinated partner with him.

——— Snu-Snu Break ———

[Ding! The host has completely rescued Hisatono Kasui from her possible tragic fate, allowing her to experience profound satisfaction and happiness, successfully promoting the spirit of pure love!]

[Reward obtained: +100 Pure Love Points!]

Over an hour later, as the system notification sounded in Hikari's mind, the once lively room fell quiet once more.

Hisatono Kasui lay curled in Hikari's arms, a faint blush still coloring her cheeks.

She looked up at him, her dazed eyes shimmering like a pool of spring water stirred by a gentle breeze.

"Hikari-kun~", Hisatono Kasui clung tightly to his waist, her voice thick with undeniable contentment.

"How do you feel, still hurting?", Hikari's palm stroked her smooth shoulder as he asked with concern.

Hisatono Kasui gave a small nod, then shook her head slightly, her voice soft as honey, with a hint of hoarseness, "Still a little sore, but I feel very satisfied, and very happy..."

Before she finished, as if burned by her own blunt words, Hisatono Kasui suddenly buried her burning face in the crook of his neck, exposing only the tips of her reddened ears.

Hikari chuckled softly, his fingers idly combing through her hair.

The silky strands slipped between his fingers, sending up a faint, tingling sensation.

In the quiet, she suddenly lifted her face and pecked the corner of his lips, quick and light, like a butterfly landing.

Before he could react, she had already curled back into his arms, burying her face deep.

But her curled-up body, her trembling lashes, and the way she peeked at him from between strands of hair only to dart away, every little move betrayed a joy too full to hide.

A girl's first taste of intimacy was more intoxicating than aged wine.

Hikari found himself drawn in as well, holding this adorably soft creature tightly in his arms.
