Since
Chihiro started training more often, he's gotten stronger and the day has
gotten faster.
His
muscles are not as good as ever, so he is beginning to think that it's better
to give up on them.
Still,
the amount of training is gradually increasing, and thanks to his [Sleep
Enhancement], he can abuse his body, so his strength is getting stronger.
Though,
his strength is getting stronger in his own way.
「...Hmm?」
After
exchanging greetings with Aika, Chihiro left the classroom and went to the
private training room, where he found a figure on a bench near the entrance
terminal.
If
that was all, he would have just assumed that there is someone else there
before him, but the figure is somewhat distinctive.
She
is not a student, but a mature woman in a suit.
**a
She
is a little taller than Chihiro, and her breasts and butt are fuller than
Maria's, even with her clothes on. Though her body is not as muscular as
Chihiro's, to be honest, there is nothing that can be done about that.
Also,
her hair seems to be terribly long.
Although
it is woven at the back of her head, it is very voluminous. If calculated
backwards, it could be as long as her waist if untied.
The
slightly drooping eyes look both sleepy and smiling, and the slightly relaxed
mouth emphasizes the impression.
The
woman had a more definite "mature appeal" than Maria.
But
Chihiro don't recognize her.
If
it is just a woman in a suit, there are many teachers, and if it is someone who
is mainly in charge of the second and third years, it is not surprising that he
does not remember her...
But
this person is indeed memorable even at first sight.
In
addition, she doesn't look like a classroom teacher or a physical teacher.
If
he had to guess, she might from art or music, but somehow he doesn't think so
either.
...This
person is probably a [Lost Item].
That's
what Chihiro guessed from the atmosphere.
Well,
if she really isn't a teacher and is a [Lost Item], then it seems like a rather
suspicious person.
And...
「...?」
She
raised her head and looked at Chihiro.
As
if by surprise, their eyes met.
「Oh...」
Chihiro
gulped.
The
feeling that came over him is peace.
It
seems that she is very relaxed. It felt like she was dozing off in the sun, and
the feeling is instantaneous.
It's
a very different kind of desire from Maria's.
But
similar in the sense of an overwhelming sense of volume that dominated his
mind.
「...Oh」
The
woman blinked.
She
stood up, staring into Chihiro's eyes, and clapped her hands with a strange
overaction.
「It's not good. The class finished
before I knew it... accidentally」
The
nodding motion finally breaks the mind reading, but Chihiro stares at her
again, wondering what she's thinking. Was it just curiosity this time?
As
Chihiro stood there wondering, she smiled at him.
「...Umm」
She
beckons a little more. It seems to be telling Chihiro to come over here.
He
looked behind him, but of course there was no one else there. When he turned to
the woman, she smiled again.
Feeling
it would be wrong to run away, Chihiro obediently followed.
As
he came closer, he smelled something nice. It smelled good. It's a complex
scent, different from the clean smell of Maria and the girls.
「Oh, umm」
Chihiro
tried to speak, but before he could, the other person moved.
She
extended her right hand and lightly grabbed Chihiro's left shoulder.
「Eh?」
She
then moved towards him.
She
turned halfway around, and hugged him softly. Naturally, his bag fell to the
floor.
(Really,
the feeling of the twin hills against my back is pleasant... Eh, wait...)
Well,
Chihiro didn't feel any harm, so he just let her do anything she wanted.
「What are you doing?」
「It's okay, it's okay」
She
whispered in his ear and made him sit on a bench.
Not
next to her, but on her lap.
「Ufufu」
Squeeze…
She
puts her arms around Chihiro and hugs him. He feels a little suffocated, but
more importantly, he wonders if this person has no sense of shame.
「I've got someone to talk to」
Her
mumbling voice is elusive, as if she is just enjoying herself.
「Someone to talk to, huh?」
「Yes, someone to talk to. After all, I
was bored sitting here by myself」
(Could
there be some reason why she needs to be here? Waiting for someone, maybe?)
「Watching people. I have to watch the
people who come here」
「Isn't it hard?」
「Yes, it's hard. It's quite hard」
It
can be hard, yes.
If
she's waiting for someone, it's done when the other person arrives, but it's
quite painful to just sit there and stare at the flow of people.
From
the students' point of view, it would look a little strange to see a grown up
in a suit just sitting there.
「Oh. Well, I'm sure no one will care
about me」
「Eh? What does that mean?」
「It's my ability. While I'm using it, I
and everyone I touch will have no presence. Like pebbles in the road, people
won't care about it」
As
expected, she's a [Lost Item].
――
And her capacity for cognitive obstruction.
She
said it casually, but it's a very advanced power.
To
Chihiro's surprise, she seemed to be enjoying herself.
「So, you don't have to worry about what
people see. Why don't you stay here and talk with me for a while? Izumi,
Chihiro-kun」
She
said Chihiro's name even though they had never met before.
