After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"Eri, why are you here?"

"Aiya!" The little golden retriever was startled. He turned around in panic and was slightly relieved when he found it was Xiachuan Zou. However, the nervous look on his face remained unchanged. "Zou, Zou... There, there is a ghost!"

"...What? A ghost?" Xia Chuanzou looked around in confusion, but didn't find anything strange. He asked her in confusion, "Are you seeing things?"

"No, no!" Eriri stammered in response, "There is a pair of skeleton feet right under the curtain over there."

Natsukawa Kanade looked in the direction of Eriri's finger, and was surprised to see a pair of pale human leg bones under the curtains.

Huh? There really are ghosts? Could this be a world with supernatural phenomena?

The key point is that it is not even 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is still shining brightly outside. This ghost that can appear in broad daylight must be a very vicious evil spirit, right?! Is this something they can do to deceive people?

"Wait, don't move yet."

Xiachuan Zou was originally frowning, but as he looked, he suddenly discovered that there was not only a pair of leg bones, but also a faint outline of a human figure behind the curtain.

Then, as a gust of wind blew, the curtains were blown up by the breeze, and a white skeleton appeared in front of the two people, leaning quietly against the wall without moving.

"..."

Very good, it’s not a ghost, but a “skeleton monster”.

It's still a low-level trash monster, Natsukawa Kanade thought.

"Skull, skeleton monster!"

After seeing the white skeleton hiding in the corner, Eriri trembled all over, as if an electric current was flowing directly from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She hurriedly hugged Natsukawa Kanade's arm, and even some tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

Xia Chuan Zou couldn't help but be a little speechless. What was there to be afraid of? Even those little minions without weapons and armor were clearly the lowest level monsters. One punch would be enough to kill them all!

And the most important thing is...

"Don't move, open your eyes and take a good look." Xia Chuanzou pointed to the skeleton hidden behind the curtain.

"I, I don't dare. I'm so scared." Ying Lili shook her head frantically, not daring to look at that thing again.

"..." Xia Chuan Zou couldn't help but sigh, "You should look more carefully if you are afraid, right? If this is true, you won't be able to escape now."

Ying Lili tilted her head and looked up at him, somewhat confused.

Xia Chuan Kanade pursed his lips and gestured to her, "It would be better for you to witness it with your own eyes."

He was too kind-hearted and couldn't bear to laugh at this timid little golden retriever. If senior Kasumigaoka was here, Eriri would probably never be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life.

After his repeated persuasion, Eriri finally turned her head and began to look at the "skeleton monster" carefully.

There were no stains of rust or blood on her face, nor were her teeth yellowed like those of a long-time smoker. Instead, her skin was dazzlingly white, even whiter than the skin of most girls.

"..." Ying Lili opened her mouth, finding it difficult to speak.

She finally figured it out. What kind of skeleton was this? It was clearly a skeleton! It was the kind of plastic skeleton used for specimens!

As if to prove that this thing was indeed harmless, Xiachuan Zou went forward and gently pulled the arm of the skeleton specimen, shaking it slightly.

"Look, there are movable screws at the joints. What else could it be if not a specimen?"

Ying Lili suddenly looked a little embarrassed. Although she was still a little panicked and scared, she couldn't say anything to refute the ironclad fact.

"I, I'm worried too..."

"..." Natsukawa Kanade chuckled, but did not laugh at her anymore. After all, it was normal for Eriri to be timid. She was so scared that she ran around everywhere and got lost even when walking into a small haunted house.

"Then, why are you here? Don't you have club activities to participate in?" Xiachuan Zou asked curiously. It seemed like he came out after attending the student union.

The reason why he wanted to go back now was because everyone else in the student union had something to do, so there was actually no one else in the student union, and he couldn't stand staying alone.

"Oh, about this..." Eriri suddenly stretched out her voice, and then revealed a very cute smile on her face, with her crystal clear canine teeth shining brightly, "Because I won the grand prize in the painting competition for the school, after today, the right to use this storage room belongs to me!"

It was obvious that it was happily waiting to be praised, so Xia Chuan Zou decisively reached out his hand and stroked the little golden retriever's hair to comfort it.

"Well done, you are worthy of me."

243. The Bold and Careless Eriri

The school was quite generous and allocated a small room to Eriri, or actually to the art department as an activity room. Natsukawa Kanade had handled this matter before so was very clear about it, but she didn't expect that the final right of use would fall into the hands of the little golden retriever. It seems that the ace identity of the art department really cannot be faked.

However, because it was originally used as a storage room, there are actually a lot of things piled up here, and it is quite troublesome to sort them all out quickly. I'm afraid the art department has also taken this into consideration. In addition, the original activity venue was already large enough, and their director may have given up the right to use it because he thought it was troublesome to clean it, and by the way, it was also given to Eriri as a reward.

"So are you here today to take a look at the spoils... or are you really going to start cleaning up seriously?" Xiachuan Zou asked curiously.

Given Eriri's personality, she would probably delay this kind of thing as long as possible. It would be too difficult to make her diligent. This little golden retriever might only work hard in the field of painting without being urged by others.

"What are you looking at? That's too much!" Eriri said angrily, "It's not like I don't work at all. For example, I also complete my class duty well."

"That's different." Xiachuan Kanade complained, "If you don't even want to do that, your idea of ​​maintaining the image of a well-behaved young lady should have been shattered long ago."

Eriri was so angry that she wanted to ignore him, but this emotion didn't last long, and her mind was completely occupied by another thought - since they were already here, why not let Kanade help with the cleaning?

This kind of opportunity is rare for her. Although the work is tiring, it will not be boring if she can complete it with someone she likes. It also makes her feel as if she is finally assigned to the same class as Zou, as if the two of them are doing duty together after school.

Without further ado, she spoke decisively: "Humph, considering your disrespectful remarks just now, I will punish you to work together... If you refuse, then you are just a lazy person."

Natsukawa Kanade raised his eyebrows and thought that this was different. It was not his responsibility. But since Eriri had "invited" him like this, and he had nothing to do next, it was no problem for him to help.

"Okay, this is a good opportunity for you to see the strength of the Labor Immortal." Xia Chuanzou patted his chest and said, but having said that, in fact, all the housework at home had long been taken care of by the Angel. He probably really hadn't worked for a long time. Fortunately, it didn't take any superb skills to tidy up this storage room. You just need to move out the useless things and then sweep and mop the floor.

It's nothing more than pure physical work, which is no problem for him at all.

After confirming that he would help, Natsukawa Kanade put away his schoolbag and prepared to fetch a bucket of water. During this time, he let Eriri decide by herself which things to move out.

"See if there is anything you need. If you want to use it, you can keep it. Pick out the rest you don't need. I will move it to another room later."

"Yeah, then let me check it first." Ying Lili nodded in response.

"Okay, then I'll go get a bucket of water first." Xia Chuanzou nodded slightly.

There is no need to elaborate on the process of fetching water. In short, he returned to the storage room very calmly. But just as he placed the bucket at the door and opened the door, a black shadow suddenly flashed quickly, and then a petite and cute girl appeared in his arms.

"Eri?" Natsukawa Kanade looked at the girl in his arms in confusion.

We just parted for a while, there's no need to be so excited, right?

"There is a ghost!" Eriri's eyes were filled with tears, and her face turned pale with nervousness. "I just saw the skeleton move! I'm sure I'm not seeing things!"

"..." Xiachuan Zou sighed silently.

He could understand that she was afraid of these things, but this was too cowardly and funny. This state was clearly one of suspicion of the neighbor. The preconceived impression affected her normal judgment, causing her to involuntarily think in a supernatural direction.

"Then stay away from it and leave the cleaning over there to me, okay?" Xia Chuanzou said in a gentle voice.

After suffering the shock just now, I subconsciously reached out my hand and accidentally held Eriri's little butt. Now I feel that it really can't be described as "small" anymore.

If the senior's size is reflected in her broad-mindedness, then Eriri's size is probably reflected in her ability to occupy a lot of seats. Maybe... no need to say maybe, it's definitely bigger than the senior's.

And it's not just this aspect. After taking a deep breath, I smelled a sweet fragrance coming to my nose. It was a bit fruity, and if I sniffed carefully, it felt more like floral fragrance. No wonder girls are more popular with mosquitoes. It seems that they really smell much better than boys.

Eriri has a very petite figure. When she was hanging on his neck, her feet could hardly reach the ground. She still had to rely on him to help maintain her balance. Just when he was about to put her down, the inappropriate voice of a third party suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Excuse me, let me take a look..."

The two looked in the direction of the sound and found a girl that Xiachuan Zou didn't know standing at the door. She covered her mouth with one hand, then pointed at them and made hesitant sounds.

"Um, um... I was sent by the Minister to see how the cleaning was going... No, I didn't know you were there... Sorry! I'm sorry for disturbing you!"

After saying the last sentence, the other person ran away, and even closed the door considerately before leaving.

The two turned their heads and stared at each other for a while, then Ying Lili finally reacted, her cheeks turned red, and she stammered, "Quick, put me down..."

Of course, Natsukawa Kanade did as he was told, and then raised his hands high in a gesture of surrender.

"I didn't move my hands. I was just afraid that you would fall and fall."

I still have to explain it for now, but whether you believe it or not is up to Eriri.

"..." The little golden retriever didn't say anything. Of course, she was a little speechless at the moment. She pursed her lips and put her hands nervously behind her back, covering the places that he had covered before. Her little brain became more and more restless as she thought about it. Then her whole body began to heat up and her brain began to burn. She felt like she was going to pass out in the next second.

If it were before, I would definitely be confused now, but after experiencing a few intimate contacts, my body has actually developed some resistance, and I can actually keep my mind steady at this moment.

"I, I'm going to the bathroom first!" Eriri's eyes were vague, and without waiting for Natsukawa Kanade's answer, she ran out of the room as if escaping.

"..."

Xia Chuan Zou scratched his head and of course chose not to chase after him. He also needed to calm down at this time. Chasing after him would do no good.

He stayed in the storage room for a long time, and even when he was almost done with the cleaning task by himself, Eriri finally showed up at the door.

Looking at the way Natsukawa Zou kept moving his hands and feet, and then looking at the room that had been almost cleaned, she felt ashamed and annoyed. She was clearly ready to enjoy the process of working together, but in the end she didn't participate at all. Moreover, she came back as soon as Zou finished cleaning. Didn't it seem like she was being lazy?

That won't do! She really didn't want to be lazy this time.

Anyway, Eriri felt that she couldn't just let it go today, so she pursed her lips and said firmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Kanade! You must be very tired, right? Let me give you a massage!"

Xiachuan Zou could sense her determination because her eyes flashed with determination, so he nodded and said to her: "Then thank you for your help."

In fact, he had asked Eriri to help him with massage before, but at that time the focus was on his face. Although the technique could not be said to be very professional, it did make him feel a little more relaxed, so he readily agreed this time.

"Yeah, then get down quickly." Ying Lili patted the table.

So Xia Chuan Zou fell silent, and after a long while he managed to utter a sentence with difficulty: "Lie...down?"

"Yes, otherwise how can I give you a massage?" Ying Lili said as if it was a matter of course.

Xia Chuan Zou was even more speechless. After a long silence, he asked, "Can't you just sit down? Just massage your shoulders and back, right?"

"Of course not!" Eriri shook her head, her attitude somewhat firm, "I've already asked you to do all the cleaning work, how can I let you just enjoy a half-assed massage? Of course I'll massage your thighs and stuff as well."

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

No... it doesn't have to be that serious, right? To be honest, he really thought it was just a simple shoulder massage, but he didn't expect it to be so "professional". But what on earth would you, a Utakai artist, want to learn this kind of thing? Could it be to better understand the human body?

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and lie down on the table." Ying Lili suddenly urged.

Xiachuan Zou had no choice but to do as she said, as he couldn't persuade her anymore.

But just in case, he checked the door again and was relieved when he found that it was indeed closed.

Although they weren't going to do anything weird... Well, lying on the table to get a massage was indeed quite strange, and although this place would basically have no one coming in, who knows what would happen again? Anyway, it would be more convenient to close the door first, which would at least prevent some curious people from coming in to take a look.

Following Eriri's instructions, Natsukawa Kanade slowly lay down on the tables. Although he was still a little uncomfortable no matter how he adjusted his posture, he decided to endure it in order to meet Eriri's expectations. Fortunately, Eriri still knew her limits and did not ask him to take off his clothes before starting the massage.

After a while, Natsukawa Sou actually felt his body relaxed a little, but it was not actually due to Eriri's massage itself, or rather - this little help was actually quite minimal, because Eriri's strength was too weak. Although he could feel that she was massaging him very seriously and her techniques felt quite similar to the real thing, her strength was indeed too weak. It felt like stroking his back, and it would be more accurate to say that it was a tickle than a massage.

And because she was only wearing a summer school uniform, the warmth from Eriri's little hands was transmitted through the clothes with almost no loss. Combined with her slightly gentle movements, it felt really itchy. He almost couldn't help laughing several times.

"Well, how about you use a little more strength?" Xia Chuanzou reminded, "Maybe my shoulders are too stiff, so it's hard for me to understand..."

"Okay, I understand." Ying Lili nodded hesitantly, looking a little embarrassed.

In fact, she also felt it. When her little hands moved on Zou's body, she felt the difference between boys. When she was at home, she basically used her mother to practice, and she would think it was too much if a little force was used. But when she was massaging Zou this time, she had clearly used up all her strength, but it always felt like she couldn't press at all.

And it was indeed a little difficult to exert force when lying sideways. Perhaps it was because her technique was not yet up to par?

"Uh... use a little more strength?" Xiachuan Zou suggested again.

"..." Ying Lili was really at a loss now. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said slowly: "Then please wait a moment. I'll go get a chair."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Xiachuan Zou nodded, thinking she meant that it would be easier to exert force if she sat on a chair.

But when Ying Lili brought the chair back, she suddenly said, "Don't move so I can sit on it."

"..."

Sit on it? What? Does your sitting on the chair have anything to do with him?

Natsukawa Zou was a little confused, but he was still prepared to do as she said.

But just when he was mentally prepared, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from behind him, "Ouch, ouch", as if someone was gasping for breath due to exhaustion from climbing the mountain. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly felt a soft touch a little bit behind his waist, and then he felt a sudden sense of weight, all pressing on him.

"..."

No? If he guessed correctly... Could it be that Eriri has already climbed up and sat on him? What is this tangle about? !

"Don't move from now on, okay? I'm afraid you'll lose your balance and fall down." Ying Lili was still a little unaware and was actually reminding him not to move.

Xiachuan Zou was really in a bad mood now. Just as he thought, he wanted to complain so much at this moment.

However, someone was quicker than him. Just when he was about to tell her to hurry down, the door of the storage room was opened again. It was still the familiar voice from before, and even the tone of voice revealed his speechlessness.
