Tachibana was stunned; it seemed to make some sense... Should she thank him?

What kind of person am I? Am I like that annoying Ayako and that irritating Eli?

"No!" Tachibana suddenly realized.

Looking back, when I first met Hideaki at the "Ritz" café in Ginza, I initially thought that "a former colleague who resigned had undergone plastic surgery to avoid debts." Then he said it was just a coincidence of names. I also saw that he was wearing a ring on his index finger that indicated "single and looking for a partner." He was so handsome, so rich, had such a nice voice, and was so proactive. He made me feel very safe... That's when I felt comfortable dating him.

Who would have thought that he was not only married, but also had many girlfriends... Now he is not ashamed, but proud, and speaks righteously about it!

Seriously, his massage techniques are amazing...so comfortable, so relaxing...wait! Hasn't he touched me all over already?

What do you mean by "giving me a chance"?! He's completely cut off my escape route... I'm no longer pure, he's defiled me, I'll never have the face to find a new boyfriend again... He has to take responsibility...

Tachibana found herself a good excuse, and then her gaze suddenly focused on Hideaki's outstretched index finger, where he was wearing a "single and seeking a partner" ring?!

"I can't take it anymore!" Tachibana yelled, suddenly sitting up. "You heartless, philandering liar who's all talk and no action!"

At this moment, Hideaki was sitting on the bed with half his buttocks on, massaging Tachibana's back.

Tachibana suddenly sprang up, and he only had time to stand up. Then, Tachibana, who was squatting on the massage bed, grabbed Hideaki's belt on both sides with both hands, trying to pull him onto the massage bed, but she couldn't pull him up at first. Then she jumped up from the massage bed and pounced on Hideaki's head, using the momentum and weight of her body to push him down.

Since Tachibana jumped up on the massage bed, and quite high at that, Hideaki immediately realized that she couldn't withstand the force of Mount Tai pressing down on her. Moreover, with a height of nearly 1.8 meters, if she fell straight backward, she would at least suffer a concussion. Fortunately, there was a curtain hanging behind her, and after turning around, she was on a soft tatami mat.

Then, Tachibana, who was suspended in mid-air, pressed down on Hideaki's face with her chest and abdomen, along with the torn curtain, and pushed Hideaki down onto the tatami.

She used the "Upper Four Directions Hold" technique from judo that Ayako had just used on her.

She almost suffocated from Ayako's breath...

The specific posture after this fixed technique is formed is roughly the same posture in which she is currently restraining Xiuming.

Hideaki lay on his back with his upper body pressed against the tatami mat and his legs on the floor.

Tachibana, on the other hand, knelt down, positioned above Hideaki's head.

She inserted her hands into the outside of Hideaki's arms, grasping the belts on both sides of Hideaki's waist. Tachibana's forearms were also pressed against the tatami, her elbows tightly clamped around Hideaki's arms.

This completely pinned Xiuming's head under his chest and abdomen, using the weight of his entire body to suppress Xiuming.

If Xiuming kicks and spins around struggling, she can adjust her posture accordingly. As long as she stays in the same straight line, Xiuming will have difficulty escaping.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there cannot be too much of a weight difference... otherwise, it will be easy for them to turn the tables and retaliate.

Furthermore, this isn't a competition where there are an endless number of ways to deal with things. For example, the skill of "shamelessness" can not only completely counter it, but also throw the opponent into a state of chaos.

Hideaki is a "professional" 9th dan judo master. To make the "Upper Four-Sided Hold" pose even more perfect, he extended his arms over Tachibana's shoulders and then clasped his hands behind her head.

Then, Xiuming deliberately kicked his empty legs around.

"Do you submit? As long as you swear you'll never be unfaithful again, I'll let you go."

Tachibana was extremely envious of Ayako's judo skills. She never expected that the skill she had secretly learned would actually be used. Moreover, the first time she used the skill, it was practically perfect. She couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, thinking, "I'm a genius after all!"

“Waaah…” Xiuming shook his head, whimpering.

Tachibana's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a warmth in her chest, as if an electric current was coursing through her entire body.

"Ouch~~~ What are you doing..."

“Waaah…” Xiuming still shook his head.

"Ah~~~"

Tachibana, both embarrassed and flustered, quickly let go and backed away while crossing her arms. She kicked Hideaki on the head, yelling, "Shameless! You're so annoying..."

"What can I do? You're pressing so hard, I'm about to suffocate you." Xiuming wiped his mouth, sat up, touched his head, and continued, "What do you mean by this? Although we can't be called an old married couple, we've been boyfriend and girlfriend for more than half a month. What's there to be shy about? It's like we haven't done anything through the fabric."

"Will you marry me?" Tachibana suddenly asked, looking down.

"The weather is so nice today. It's probably going to rain tomorrow, right?" Xiuming asked innocently.

"I knew it……"

Tachibana raised her foot to kick again, but the door was suddenly pushed open by Ayako.

She not only brought a copy of the business license, but also a neon sign that read "Traditional Chinese Medicine Massage".

Startled, Tachibana quickly grabbed the sheet still on the tatami mat and covered her chest.

Ayako was taken aback at first, then quickly closed the door. She blinked, then her face darkened. She spat at Tachibana and said, "Dressed so filthyly, trying to seduce my husband, shameless!"

"Is he your husband? You're shameless."

Upon seeing Ayako, Tachibana immediately remembered her original intention: to prevent Ayako from becoming too smug and to ensure Riko's position wasn't threatened, thus giving herself a chance to win a medal... Come to think of it, it's all Hideaki's fault; he made her so shy, I don't know what he said just now...

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Ayako didn't respond. With a sly smile, she took off her shoes, took the neon sign, walked to the tatami mat, grabbed the heavy wine-red curtains that covered the glass wall, and pulled them open abruptly.

At 5:30 pm, in broad daylight, during rush hour, groups of office workers passed by the glass curtain wall, and many people tilted their heads to look at themselves in the mirror as they passed by the mirrored curtain wall.

"ah!!!"

Tachibana's eyes widened suddenly, her flushed face turning deathly pale. She screamed and threw herself into Hideaki's arms, crying out, "Close it! Close it! Close it now!"

Ayako looked on with a grin and said, "It's okay... What's there to be afraid of? So what if they saw it? It's not like you're naked."

Tachibana cried, crying as she dressed.

Xiuming didn't expect Ayako to suddenly pull this move. When she suddenly pulled open the curtains, she was almost caught off guard and only realized after a half-second pause that she couldn't see inside from the outside.

However, Tachibana's tearful appearance was also a headache. She glanced at Ayako and said, "Close it first."

"Hmph~ I'm not turning it off." Ayako raised her chin, took the neon sign, and went out the door.

Hideaki got up with a dark face and closed the curtains, while Tachibana, with her back to the glass curtain wall, covered her face and cried.

Such a shock will probably release all the negative emotions she has accumulated since birth, right?

But I didn't expect Tachibana to be so conservative. What about all those briefs and bikinis on the beach?

Hideaki helped the sobbing Tachibana fasten the buttons on her white shirt, then grabbed her black pants, pulled her legs over, and helped her put them on while she was still crying. Finally, he put a coat on her, making her look neat and tidy, and then pulled open the burgundy curtains.

Ayako was standing on a stool, hanging the neon sign on the top of the curtain wall, and occasionally making faces at the mirror.

Hideaki's face darkened, and he dragged Tachibana out the door, walking to the glass curtain wall mirror.

This is a giant mirror, so you can't see what's inside at all.

Tachibana touched the mirror, stared blankly for a while, then cried and laughed at the same time.

Ayako hung up the neon sign, looked down and chuckled, "Has Tachibana-chan gone mad?"

Tachibana suddenly turned her head, her face full of anger, and kicked over Ayako's small stool. Ayako exclaimed in surprise, but luckily Hideaki was there and caught it.

"You wicked woman!" Tachibana yelled at Ayako, then turned and ran into the supermarket. "You'll regret this..."

Ayako stared blankly for a while. Although it was a prank and no one else would see it, it seemed to have really left Tachibana with some psychological trauma. With a trembling voice, she asked Hideaki, "Was I too much?"

“Since it’s already done, don’t say anything excessive,” Hideaki put Ayako down, shrugged, and walked towards the supermarket, saying, “Just wait for her revenge!”

When Tachibana kicked Ayako's stool just now, she specifically checked where she was standing, probably worried about hurting Ayako. It was probably just a minor incident, so she didn't care much...

"She looks like she's going to kill me, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Ayako caught up and asked.

"Do you expect me to manage everything? Are you just a freeloader? Take responsibility for your own affairs."

"Scumbag..."

Ayako followed Hideaki into the massage room. Tachibana, who was sitting next to the coffee table, suddenly stood up and said to Hideaki without expression, "Give me your house key. I'm going upstairs to rest."

“What…” Ayako instinctively wanted to interrupt, but then she remembered what she had just done and kept quiet.

Tachibana took the key that Hideaki handed her.

"How do you want me to regret this?" Ayako asked softly.

Tachibana glanced at Ayako, then walked out of the room without a word, making sure to close the door behind her.

Ayako was confused. She turned her head and saw a row of massage supplies and disposable clothes on the massage bed.

Ayako, thinking of Hideaki's incredibly skilled massage techniques, was instantly captivated by these things...

Ayako first locked the door from the inside, then pounced on the bed and said, "Draw the curtains, I want a massage."

For Hideaki and Ayako, who have been married for a long time, changing clothes is a natural process; all they need to do is have Hideaki turn his back.

After putting on the pure white cotton vest and boxer shorts, Ayako suddenly realized they were a bit small. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and complained with a flushed face, "Didn't you say you were going to give a proper massage? How can this kind of clothing be proper? Does everyone have to wear this kind of clothing?"

"As long as you don't do anything reckless, everything is negotiable."

Xiuming took the lubricant bottle and brushed it off. He had bought the clothes wholesale without thinking, and he hadn't expected them to be so thin when he wore them, especially since it was only the first time he had used them today.

It becomes completely transparent as soon as it gets even slightly wet... It's really frustrating...

I'll buy a batch of thicker ones later, since it's really hard to take out this kind of clothing when serving unfamiliar customers.

The atmosphere in the massage room is almost ruined.

The glass curtain wall behind the wine-red curtains next to us made a muffled "bang".

Ayako jolted, instinctively lifting a corner of the curtain to peek outside. Her eyes widened instantly, and she gasped, "Ah! What is she going to do... She... She..."

Through the five-centimeter-thick glass curtain wall, Tachibana wore a sneer, slapping the glass curtain wall with her right hand and holding an iron hammer in her left, occasionally swinging it to smash the air.

Every time she lifts it up and then lowers it, it feels like she's about to smash the glass.

"I'm not coming, I'm not coming! Quick, quick, bring me my clothes... That wretched Tachibana..."

Even though it's tempered glass, which at most will crack, such a big hammer is still quite frightening.

Tachibana's revenge came very quickly.

As Ayako frantically dressed, there was a knock on the door of the massage room.

"The contract is ready, come out and sign it." Funakawa Yoshiko pounded on the door and shouted, "I've also introduced you to a lot of massage clients, they're all from the building across the street."

Ayako was taken aback. It was a very unfamiliar woman's voice. As she dressed, she asked, "Who is she?"

“Funakawa Yoshiko, my business partner.” Hideaki stopped watching Tachibana wielding the hammer and turned back to say, “I always feel like she has yandere tendencies. If I suddenly disappear one day, you take the police to find her.”

"Another woman," Ayako pounded the bed in anger, "She's a yandere, but I'm a yandere too! I wish I could put you inside me..."

"You'd better not make that kind of lame joke with me."

The sight of Tachibana wielding a hammer outside the curtain wall didn't faze Hideaki at all, but Ayako's words immediately gave him goosebumps.

This kind of yandere is unacceptable... Ayako was just making a sarcastic remark, but as for Funakawa Yoshiko, we need to reassess our relationship with her in the future.

After all, in this extremely repressive country, any kind of pervert is possible. She also loves to steal things... Could she have stolen me too?
