Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 249 - : Examination Results...

"Splash!"

Mafuyu Kirisu dashed off to take a bath.

Feeling perfectly at ease, Rei Ao lazed on the sofa.

Apart from the green pepper stir-fry Mafuyu had made, there were two more dishes on the dining table, both cooked by Rei Ao.

The main reason was that her "physical exam" on him had taken at least several dozen minutes.

Not only did she end up exhausted, but she'd also been tossed around by Rei Ao's rather exaggerated...momentum, leaving her drenched and in disarray.

Although she confirmed Rei Ao was perfectly healthy, Mafuyu Kirisu felt a powerful sense of wanting to die from embarrassment.

Those two extra dishes were Rei Ao's way of making up for the trouble she went through on his behalf.

But even so, she had been holed up in the bathroom for over half an hour now.

Rei Ao called out, "Miss Kirisu, as soon as you're done bathing, come out and eat. Otherwise, the food's going to get cold."

"Uh...alright...!"

Her voice was flustered and barely audible.

Before long—

Click!

Having changed clothes, Mafuyu Kirisu opened the bathroom door and came out, her body unnaturally stiff as she headed straight for the dining table—without so much as a glance Rei Ao's way. She had no idea how to face him now, and her cheeks burned whenever she even sensed his presence. It wasn't just that her body felt overheated; her limbs also felt weak.

Rei Ao didn't push for conversation.

They sat at the table in silence, eating without speaking.

Only after dinner, when the two sat quietly on the sofa for a while, did Rei Ao speak again.

"Mafuyu-sensei, are you feeling better now?"

"Uh..."

Mafuyu Kirisu lowered her head, forcing herself to appear calm. "I—I'm fine."

"That's good."

It was obvious she was putting on an act, but Rei Ao didn't expose her. Instead, he gently reassured her, "Well, Miss Kirisu, now you can relax. Given your hands-on examination, there's no doubt about my physical condition, right?"

"!!!"

She was already doing badly, and that sentence made her want to crawl under a rock. She had really gone hands-on—and never done anything like that in her life.

"Don't ever bring this up again!!!"

Mafuyu Kirisu smacked the table in warning. Right now, all she wanted was to empty her mind. Ideally, she wouldn't have to see Rei Ao at all. But unfortunately, he had no intention of leaving just yet.

"Alright, I won't mention it."

He gave in easily, then added, "So, Miss Kirisu, let's talk about why you were looking for me in the first place?"

"..."

Talking business was, at least, preferable to more awkward conversation. Mafuyu Kirisu steadied herself and looked over at him. But noticing her gaze drifting down to...somewhere, she quickly turned away, fiddling with a strand of hair to hide her face.

"Ahem, it's about two of my students."

She meant Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata.

"I relayed your conditions to them. They want to give your approach a try. When might you be free?"

"Ilia's always ready, so any afternoon after school works fine."

He had no need to prepare anything elaborate.

Mafuyu Kirisu nodded. "Great, I'll let them know."

"... ..."

With business addressed in a flash, the conversation ended. The living room fell silent once more. Mafuyu Kirisu was torn over whether she should politely ask him to leave.

But she didn't have to say anything—Rei Ao was already getting up. Then something else caught his eye, and he paused, fixing his stare on a corner of the sofa.

"Miss Kirisu, you have a cockroach in your house."

"Huh, a cockroach?"

Following Rei Ao's gaze in confusion, she saw a brave little roach emerge from beneath the sofa right next to her foot. What was worse, she could see its antennae brushing against the hem of her clothing. Her pupils shrank in horror, a shiver running down her spine.

"Aaaah!!!"

With a loud scream, Mafuyu Kirisu's entire body seemed to unlock hidden potential; she sprang up in place, landing squarely on Rei Ao. Even more dramatically, her legs coiled around his waist, terrified of falling near the insect. Eyes squeezed shut, she yelled, "Go away, go awaaaay!!!"

"..."

Rei Ao hadn't expected her to react to a cockroach as extremely as—well, reminiscent of "Vignette."

At least she didn't know any magic. Otherwise, the damage might match Vignette's destructive episodes.

She clung to Rei Ao, shaking him wildly. Concerned she'd topple off, Rei Ao held her steady with both hands. Glancing at the cockroach scuttling around, he gave it a look.

Fwoom!

Fire burst forth, instantly burning the cockroach to ash. Rei Ao then tried to calm the panicked Mafuyu: "It's gone. I took care of the roach, so please relax."

"You got rid of it?!"

She halted her flailing, peering behind her and indeed finding no trace of it.

"Thank goodness..."

She let out a heavy sigh of relief, her body unconsciously sinking slightly—then froze. Becoming aware of her current position, she looked at Rei Ao again.

He gave a helpless shrug. "Just an accident."

"Kyaaa!!!"

Her shriek rang out anew.

...

Rei Ao left Mafuyu Kirisu's apartment. In the end, she didn't say much, only ordered him away in mortification.

After all, in that situation, he wasn't at fault—she was the one who overreacted and ended up in an embarrassing posture. She couldn't reasonably blame him.

Once he was gone, Mafuyu Kirisu lay on her bed, forearm draped across her burning face. The wave of shame left her utterly restless, not only because she'd lost her dignity multiple times but also because the backlash was entirely on herself. Not long ago, she had berated Rei Ao, misunderstanding his intentions, nearly causing a catastrophe. But now she was the one whose mind had drifted toward questionable territory.

Mafuyu Kirisu wouldn't run from it—she simply couldn't believe she'd almost lost control enough to ask him to stay.

She slowly lifted her other hand. In the lamplight, it trembled with a faint dewy glow.

"H-how did it come to this?"

Just moments earlier, her mind had been flooded with thoughts of Rei Ao, sneaking up on her and breaking open something deep inside her. Now, she was overwhelmed by self-consciousness, not knowing how to deal with these newfound feelings.
