>It feels like having a study session in Hana-chan's room has become something of a custom.
>I'll prepare some drinks...

>Wah!
>A blackout!?

>Woah!? It's pitch black!?
>Can't see.
>Erm...
>Smartphone, smartphone...

>D-Dead!?

>It was a crime that happened in an instant.
>There lies a few possibilitys.

>A manager who could flip the breaker!
>A resident of the same building who is very familiar with the surrondings!
>A friend who showed up the moment the crime happened.

>Eeh!?

>Using the sound of breaking tableware as camouflage...
>You attacked Kamu-chan... didn't you?
>N-No...
>I wouldn't...

>D-Did I... really....do...it...?
>Uweeeeeeh
>Of course not.
>Believe in yourself, Hana-chan!

p104
>Then the culprit must be the manager...
>Shion-onee-san!
>Eeh? Me?

>You flipped the breaker
>and snuck in using the master key.

>And then did her in with a powerful titty slap!!

>Titty sla-...
>Hya~ They're so soft~!?
