Chapter 65 A Flourishing Daily Life
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
As is the case today, Chihiro and Aika are eating basically the same lunch these days
Needless to say, the reason is that Aika has made lunches for both of them
Aika’s bento is orthodox and comforting in flavor. That’s why it’s hard to get tired of it even if he eats it every day
[Although, if I say so myself, it’s still a bit sweet]
Especially for Japanese food, Riko, who was Chihiro’s predecessor, has been giving Aika a hard time
But he can tell from the atmosphere without looking her in the eye that she doesn’t really mean to annoy Aika
”Hmm, isn’t it boring? Why don’t you flirt with her more?”
”Izumi-kun. Takatsuki-san will get tired of you if you do that”
Chihiro was just thinking that, and then the girl pointed it out
Aika puffed out her cheeks adorably in protest
”Geez, don’t say anything weird. I’m happy enough with my current life”
”…Uh, yeah”
And there, Riko also nodding her head
”Yeah, both of them are too lovey-dovey. It’s okay”
…Chihiro wonder if it was his imagination that Riko’s eyes seemed to be slightly distant
Thinking about it, Chihiro suddenly asked Aika
”Aika, what do you do after school today?”
”Well, I think I’ll drop by the infirmary. As usual, I’ll pick you up when I’m done”
”Thanks”
”Go ahead and get some training in. If you get hurt, I’ll heal you”
They smiled and nodded at each other
They are both busy people, so they try to at least match their return time
Sometimes, when one of them has an appointment, the other one will take the trouble to go home at the same time. Therefore, they end up going home together almost every day
After that, about half of the time, Aika also comes to the apartment, but she doesn’t tell anyone about it
On the days when Aika does not come to the apartment, they talk on the phone or send e-mails at night. And Chihiro have to admit that there have been a few times when she has called him while he was doing “that”
”…I see”
”I guess I can understand what Nishizaki-san is saying”
For some reason, even their classmates are muttering to themselves with half-lidded eyes
☆ ☆ ☆
And soon, it was after school
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 an adult woman in a suit
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 “adult s*x 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
