Tokyo: I Sheltered the Homeless girl (1-156).

Summary

In Chapter 95, Sawayama Haruno faces off against Naoha Ezaki in a lighthearted arm wrestling match. Naoha, determined to win, challenges Haruno to not hold back, and he, while initially considering her feelings, decides to treat her as a worthy opponent. As they struggle, Naoha feels overwhelmed and experiences an unusual sense of helplessness against Haruno's strength, a stark contrast to her usual confidence derived from years of training. This new sensation pushes her into a psychological state of submission and reflection about dominance and inferiority. Despite Naoha's best efforts, Haruno ultimately wins, causing her to confront feelings of vulnerability that she has never experienced before. Confused and intrigued by this feeling, she is left to ponder the implications of her defeat. After the match, Haruno tries to comfort her, but she feels a strange mix of shame and curiosity about her response to his strength. She finds herself questioning her own reactions and even feels a sense of excitement at the thought of his dominance. As the chapter progresses into Chapter 96, Naoha and Haruno join her brother and their friend Mine Shiori for dinner.
