Chapitre 187: Mafuyu: I can do anything
Drinking coffee slowly, Ren just sat quietly, without any intention of speaking.
Mafuyu tried hard to think of some topics to talk about so that the atmosphere between the two of them wouldn't be too awkward.
But after much consideration, she couldn't think of a suitable topic to break the silence between them.
After all, the relationship between the two was that of teacher and student, which meant that there were some topics that could not be discussed.
However, after seeing that Ren wasn't nervous or impatient to stay with her, Mafuyu relaxed a little.
As long as he didn't think about leaving, it didn't matter if the atmosphere was awkward.
"Kirisu Sensei, I'm going home first. Goodbye."
After finishing the coffee in the cup and making sure not to waste it, Ren stood up and prepared to leave.
"Eh? Wait a moment..."
Mafuyu, who initially looked very calm, suddenly panicked after hearing that Ren was leaving, and quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes to stop him from leaving.
"?"
Sensing her movement, Ren stopped and turned around to look at her.
"It is possible that the insects have not been destroyed. Can you stay with me for a moment?"
Mafuyu tilted her head to one side to prevent her eyes from accidentally meeting his, and asked shyly.
Even though Ren said that the bugs had been removed, what if there were still fish that slipped through the net?
She didn't want to face it alone.
Just when Ren was about to explain to her that he had exterminated all the bugs and there was no need to worry, Mafuyu's voice sounded again.
"I can do anything, as long as you don't leave me here alone."
"Can you do it all?"
In an instant, Ren gave up the idea of going and confirmed with her.
"Yes." Mafuyu nodded gently, "But don't forget that I am your Sensei."
After realizing that she seemed to have said something outrageous, she reminded him of her identity to prevent him from thinking bad thoughts.
"Then I won't be polite."
Saying this, Ren sat down beside her again.
"…"
Looking at his seemingly shining eyes, Mafuyu had an inexplicable feeling that something worse would happen next.
Was it too late for her to regret it now?
······
"Anyway, the most important thing is to pay attention to safety and don't get hurt."
After saying that, Mafuyu took the cup and took a sip of the remaining coffee.
"Um."
In response, Ren wrote down what he said word for word in notebook.
Seeing his serious look, Mafuyu felt dizzy.
After Ren said welcome earlier, he started asking her various questions.
For example, where is a good place to go out and play, what to do once there, what to pay attention to, and so on.
This makes it difficult for people like her who rarely leave the house.
But considering her dignity as a teacher, Mafuyu had no choice but to rely on her own experience to answer some questions that could be said to be reasonable.
But when she saw Ren write down all the answers in a notebook, she always felt a little guilty.
"Okay, it's getting late, you'd better go back quickly."
When she saw him raise his head and was about to say something more, Mafuyu said first.
If he asked again, she really didn't know how to answer.
"Okay thank you."
After putting down the notebook, Ren stood up and walked towards the door.
"Goodbye Sensei."
"Goodbye."
After sending him out of the house, Mafuyu said goodbye to him with a smile.
She closed the door hard and returned to the room weakly.
(Finally ended)
Leaning against the bed, seeing the room clean and not looking like her own, Mafuyu made a decision.
She had to tidy up her room in the future, and don't let Ren see the mess in her room again.
······
"Ah, Kamikawa, you're back..."
As soon as he knocked on Gabriel's door, Ren looked into Gabriel's annoyed eyes.
"Sorry."
For this, he could only apologize.
He had originally planned to return earlier, but what Mafuyu said was too tempting.
He couldn't resist the temptation and accidentally lost track of time.
"Does not matter."
Seeing his expressionless face even when he apologized, Gabriel could only choose to forgive him.
"Dinner is getting cold. I'll heat it up. You go to the room and wait."
"Hm?"
As Gabriel was about to walk to the kitchen, when Ren passed her, she smelled a strong and foreign girl's smell from his body.
Usually Ren would be stained with the smell of several girls, such as Fumino, Itsuki, and Rizu, who he helped tutor at school, plus Vigne.
But what was clear was that this smell definitely did not belong to the girl she knew.
"By the way, what do you do when you come home so late?"
So, Gabriel pretended to be relaxed and asked casually.
"I went to Kirisu Sensei's house to help her get rid of the bugs," Ren answered honestly.
"Kirisu Sensei?" Gabriel said.
She knew that Mafuyu lived on the same floor as them. When she moved here, she visited the neighbors with everything she had.
Of course, Mafuyu who lived in room 204, was also among them.
"Yes," Ren answered.
"I see."
Suddenly, Gabriel felt like there was nothing to worry about.
After all, Mafuyu is a teacher.
"Okay, let's eat quickly."
After a while, Gabriel brought hot food.
"Ittadakimasu."
Picking up the chopsticks, Gabriel said softly.
"Actually you don't need to wait for me."
Looking at Gabriel sitting across from him, Ren spoke.
He remembered that he had come back late, and that it had happened that Gabriel had waited for him to return before dinner.
At that time, Gabriel seemed to say that if he came back late in the future, she would not wait for him.
"Who is waiting for you? I was just playing around and accidentally lost track of time. You are really selfish."
Picking up a piece of meat and putting it in her mouth, Gabriel answered incoherently.
"Oh."
It turns out Ren misunderstood.
That's right. Gabriel had said before that she would not wait for him. How could she still wait for him now?
