Chapter 89: Karaoke Club

By the end of October and the beginning of November, autumn had fully settled in, and the air had turned pleasantly cool.

Especially after nightfall, the temperature dropped noticeably, enough to make people instinctively pull their coats a little tighter.

Strangely enough, they always said Tokyo was a hot city, but aside from the streets of Shibuya, nowhere else seemed to be warm at all.

As one of Tokyo’s livelier commercial districts, Shinjuku only revealed its true face after darkness fell.

Colorful neon signs lit up one after another, like ribbons of rainbow light stretching across the curtain-black sky, adorning this vast international metropolis.

"Hey, do you think they still need people?"

"A guy and three gorgeous girls? No way, is that okay? We’re running a little desperate here!"

"Coming here today wasn’t a waste after all. Should we go up and try talking to them?"

"That guy’s really handsome, but they all look like students, don’t they? Want to go take a look?"

At the entrance of Joysound, the lineup of one boy and three girls made Arano Haru’s group stand out unmistakably on this street.

That naturally drew the attention of a few boys, who began to get restless.

At a glance, all four looked like students, all wearing school uniforms, yet even the plain uniforms had been worn with a certain distinctive charm.

Dressed like that, they looked like a clear stream amid the bustle of the street, bringing out the youthful beauty of the girls.

White blouses, pleated skirts, polished loafers, black sheer thigh-highs, and the slender stretch of exposed calf all seemed to radiate charm at every moment. Kiyora-san, in particular, was the most eye-catching presence on the entire street.

It would have been even better if not for the large hand wrapped around her slender waist.

Under the glow of the massive billboard packed with dazzling LEDs, the light fell across Haru’s face. Holding the soft body in his arms, he was in a rather delightful mood.

As for the boys around them? What was there to fear? Come on, the Vajra Strength Pills were ridiculously fierce, all right? They were brutally effective on both men and women alike.

Besides,

Arano Haru's stamina: 72

Congratulations, you have already broken free from the level of ordinary people. With a stamina value of 72, your strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance have all undergone a qualitative leap, reaching a healthy standard!

With a stamina value of 72, and with his skills in full-contact sparring, even without taking any pills, he could beat five or six people who spent their days drinking and chasing pleasure.

Still, there was the sweet fragrance of the beauty in his arms. Haru could not help wondering what Kiyora-san was made of to be so soft.

"Are we singing here? Then let’s go in quickly!" Kiyora Meryu said impatiently from Haru’s embrace. Although Haru’s tall frame gave her a strong sense of security, the looks from the people around them made her feel somewhat sick.

"Mm-hmm, let’s sing here tonight!" Terashima Kanae said carelessly. After all, her family held shares in this bar, so surely there would not be too many fools here who lacked good judgment.

As for Hanai Mai, it was already quite good that she had come along at all. Though the night wind on the road had sobered her up a fair bit, she was still somewhat drunk.

Anyone who looked at her would be met with a fierce stare from her wide eyes in return.

She looked downright intimidating, as though she were not someone to be messed with.

The private room had been booked in advance. As soon as Arano Haru and the others entered the lobby, a waitress came over to lead the four of them toward it.

The room was not large, but it was more than enough for four people. If it were too spacious, it would be hard to build any atmosphere; this was just right.

After the system was powered on, the waitress left to prepare the drinks, fruit, and snacks.

Terashima Kanae leaned back on the sofa, propped her legs up on the coffee table, revealing a pair of beautiful, tight long legs, and picked up the tablet to begin selecting songs and adjusting the lighting.

In the blink of an eye, the lights in the private room dimmed, and multicolored brilliance spilled across the floor.

As the mood slowly rose, Arano Haru held the beauty in his arms tightly, his large hand continuously stroking her back. That soft body made him want to knead it to pieces.

Feeling a little unsatisfied, Haru’s hand slowly moved toward those long legs wrapped in black stockings.

So smooth, so supple. Kiyora Meryu blushed red and looked at that troublesome hand with speechless annoyance.

Haru gave a sly grin, and his movements grew even bolder.

With his thumb and forefinger, he pinched at the edge of the stockings on her thigh. The material was excellent, with just the right amount of elasticity.

Kiyora Meryu frowned and swatted his hand away. There were other people here! If Kanae or Mai saw this, how was she supposed to keep acting like the big sister?

Leaning on the sofa, Terashima Kanae quietly watched the two of them cuddling in a corner while still fiddling with the tablet, her wide eyes full of confusion.

That was not right. Was Kiyora not supposed to dislike Arano Haru? Why were they still clinging to each other even after coming out together?

She had been observing them in silence ever since dinner, which was precisely why she had invited the two of them out to play. She wanted to verify her earlier suspicion.

She absolutely could not let little Kiyora give up true love because of the judgment of the world and end up with a tragic fate!

After all, little Kiyora and little Sayuri were an excellent match as well!

The flames of a devoted fangirl burned brightly within her.

"Pick some songs! Pick some songs! What songs are you going to sing?"

In the end, Terashima Kanae could no longer stand it. She adjusted the lighting to a very comfortable level, then reached past Hanai Mai, who was still sitting there in a daze, and handed the tablet to the two of them, urging them to choose a song.

The lighting in the private room was rather dim, making it impossible to see what the two were doing or what color Kiyora Meryu’s face had taken on. After taking the tablet, the soft white glow from the screen fell across her cheeks.

There seemed to be a faint flush there.

Arano Haru also withdrew his fingers and looked down at the tablet to choose a song.

Just then, the door opened and a pretty female clerk walked in, followed by several service staff pushing carts loaded with goods.

On them were all kinds of exquisite cakes, desserts, drinks, and refreshments, while the lower shelves held various small props for getting the atmosphere going.

As the host, Terashima Kanae gave a slight nod. The waitress broke into an even sweeter, more genial smile, then called to the people behind her to begin setting out the plates.

In an instant, the medium-sized private room became lively. One exquisite dessert after another was placed on the table until it was crowded full.

Normally, the four of them could never finish so much food; at most, they would only nibble a little now and then, since anyone coming to karaoke had already eaten before coming to have fun.

But what was laid out on the table was already enough for another full meal for all four of them.

Kiyora Meryu and the others were used to this. Young ladies going out to play naturally did not care about such things; what mattered to them was whether the preparations had been made when needed.

Once everything had been set in place, Terashima Kanae gave another slight nod, and only then did the female clerk lead the others out in an orderly manner.

Not a single word had been spoken the entire time, and every gesture and movement carried the bearing of a proper young lady.
