Chapter 129: Professionalism
"This is what a cute yet scheming girl looks like... One day, she's going to completely devour me."
As Masatsuki Aozaki walked back to his dormitory, he recalled the girl's shyness, the warmth of her lips, and the sweetness of her breath. He nodded to himself in satisfaction.
"A young girl's love really is sweet. I can still taste it even now."
"It's probably just because you ate too many peony cakes. A normal person's mouth wouldn't taste sweet!"
A voice cut through his pleasant daydream, dragging him back to reality.
Looking up, Masatsuki found himself facing an old... no, a silver-haired boy.
His expression grew serious. "Even Ran has grown up, but you still look like a kid. Don't tell me you're going to stay this size forever?"
"Even if I've crushed your fantasies, isn't that a bit too personal? Rangiku's case was special. My growth rate is perfectly normal!"
The white-haired boy squinted slightly, just enough for Masatsuki Aozaki to pause.
Most of his old friends had already grown into adults, making him unusually self-conscious about his own youthful appearance.
"Alright, alright, Gin, I was wrong. Don't get mad!"
