章 650: Accept everyone's love calmly

　　"...Okay, that's all."

　　Looking at the form containing notes in her hands, Mafuyu said to them.

　　"Be careful. As long as there are no major problems tomorrow, your performance will not be too bad... Of course, don't hide your shortcomings if you can do your best. Not only is it good for the school's reputation, but also for yourself."

　　"Understood."

　　Everyone expressed their understanding that this was a show, and they were performers representing the school, competing with their respective talents.

　　Simply put, so that other schools remember Shuchi'in Academy.

　　Although as a leader among aristocratic schools, Shuchi'in Academy had accumulated prestige for hundreds of years, no doubt widely renowned, but who would have thought that its reputation was not high?

　　This exchange meeting is not only a place for students to expand their knowledge and insight, but also a place for big schools to compete for talent.

　　If Shuchi'in Academy had another student after Shirogane Miyuki and the others who were 2nd year students last year, and had a talented generation, they basically wouldn't have to worry about being shaken up by other schools taking center stage.

　　As players, they can not only receive awards from schools (credits, university recommendations, etc.), but can also be seen by the 'audience' (universities, research institutes, companies, etc.), paving the way for their future.

　　Therefore, not only the Nakano triplets, even Shinichi felt under great pressure. Fortunately, this is not an elite talent exchange program. Otherwise, as the leader, he would definitely stick to pride and make sure he didn't lose the face of the school.

After all, he had the highest academic performance in the team, he had little talent in studying, and he couldn't compare with geniuses like Fumino and Rizu.

　　Not to mention monsters whose IQ is 180. If the two sides meet they will definitely hit each other with eggs, as a result the eggs will be shattered into pieces, he has that awareness.

　　But if the competition is about 'various aspects' rather than pure IQ, Shinichi can do his best to lead rising actresses and physique experts to beat other schools in different fields. Promote the prestige of Shuchi'in Academy.

　　Through a survey of high school students who attended the meeting, he assessed that this was not impossible.

　　"Today's training is finished. You go back and rest early. We will meet at the school gate tomorrow morning at 7 am. There will be a bus to take us there."

　　Pulling her collar and looking at the numbers on the remote control, Mafuyu did not lower the temperature of the air conditioner, but opened the top button of her shirt, revealing a white collarbone.

　　She was the one who had just spent three hours simulating various situations and problems non-stop, making sure the boy and girl in front of her wouldn't be embarrassed in front of the other schools tomorrow.

　　Mafuyu secretly looked at Shinichi, only to find that he was also looking at her, she subconsciously felt a little nervous.

　　They just looked at each other, there was nothing to worry about.

　　To be honest, Mafuyu was very tired now, after all, she had maintained a serious sitting posture for three hours, and her legs were so numb that she didn't dare to stand up.

　　She couldn't express this in front of the students, she could only hold the teacup in her hand and cover up her tiredness.

　　But other people have no such worries.

　　Ichika was like an over-operated clockwork doll, when Mafuyu said the word 'rest', she put her head right on Shinichi's shoulder

　　She didn't even have time to pretend, she leaned against her, sighing lightly with the words that fell from her lips.

　　"Fortunately, this hellish life will end tomorrow..."

　　"Yeah, I suffered a lot…"

　　Yotsuba nodded in agreement, and reflexively wanted to imitate Ichika's movements and lean on someone's shoulder.

　　But when she tilted her head slightly, she woke up.

　　Then instead, she put her hands behind her back, looked up at the ceiling and smiled silently.

　　"Ahahaha~ Even though I'm tired, I always feel more confident facing things tomorrow~"

　　Shinichi nodded.

　　"However, Kirisu Sensei's acceptance comments were an encouragement to us that confirmed all our past efforts and dispelled our anxiety and lack of confidence."

　　After speaking, he lowered his head slightly and spoke sincerely.

　　"Kirisu Sensei, thank you for your hard work."

　　Ichika and Yotsuba looked at each other, sat up straight at the same time, with smiles on their faces, and bowed their heads towards Mafuyu.

　　"Thanks for your hard work~"

　　"Thanks for your hard work! Kirisu Sensei!"

　　"You guys..."

　　The sound of gratitude accompanied by a respectful expression made Mafuyu come to her senses.

　　Averted her gaze awkwardly, and secretly glared at Shinichi with dissatisfaction.

　　(This awkward Sensei is still not used to receiving kindness from students)

　　Shinichi mentally cursed his dishonest behavior, having absolutely no self-awareness that he was worse than he was just a few months ago.

　　"...It's still too early. Let us wait until the exchange meeting concludes without incident."

Mafuyu sipped tea in a natural manner, the corners of her lips appeared to be smiling.

　　As for the logistics staff and assistants, Itsuki wasn't as exhausted as they were, apart from taking notes on what she learned, as well as helping them pour tea, she didn't do anything else.

　　After all, what she has to do in this team is to do more and learn more, and there are not many places where she can intervene.

　　After helping Mafuyu fill the tea, Itsuki thought for a moment, then walked behind her and squeezed her shoulders.

　　"Itsuki-san!? There's no need to go through such trouble..."

　　Mafuyu was shocked and almost lost her grip on the teacup in her hand.

　　She lowered her head in discomfort, felt the strength in her shoulders, and looked at Shinichi for help.

　　However, Shinichi looked down to see the tea stalk before that happened.

　　Mafuyu gritted her teeth, and at this moment, she heard Itsuki's voice.

　　"Not troublesome! As one of the students, I also want to repay your hard work. It was just a shoulder massage, nothing."

　　She said with emotion.

　　"I suddenly feel a little nostalgic. When mom was alive, I used to help her massage her shoulders like this… But I couldn't control the strength well."

　　"After mom died, I had no other training partner apart from grandfather. But grandpa's shoulders have more bone than muscle, so it's really hard to squeeze..."

　　 Mafuyu fell silent, not knowing how to answer the question.

　　In the end, she had no choice but to give in, and her shoulders that were tense due to resistance slowly relaxed.

　　"My shoulder happens to be a little sore, so I'll leave it to you."

　　Saying this, Mafuyu sighed.

　　(She seems honest, but Itsuki-san is cunning, and even uses cruel tricks...)

　　(No, it must be expressed sincerely.)

　　(After all, she said in the corridor that I looked like her mother...)

　　Thinking about this, Mafuyu felt complicated.

　　"Sensei, please relax a little more, it's a bit tight."

　　"Um...Please use force on your cervical spine. It's been really stiff lately."

　　"Okay~"

　　"…"

　　Shinichi looked at the warm scene in front of him with a smile like that of an old father.

　　Gradually, his eyes were attracted by the pair of straight chests that floated up and down.

　　Because one button of her shirt was undone, Mafuyu's previously tight chest finally gained freedom, and became easier to lift with the strength of Itsuki's fingers.

　　After watching for a few seconds, Shinichi muttered while thinking.

　　"No wonder, not only Sensei, but your shoulder must be hurting too..."

　　Mafuyu: "..."

　　Nakano triplets: "…"

Shinichi muttered a little loudly, and everyone heard him.

　　Sensing the atmosphere, the girls' and Mafuyu's faces turned red. Maybe in a few seconds they will start teaching him a lesson.

　　Shinichi's eyelids moved slightly, and he pretended to be nothing.

　　"Um, since we're here today... I should go home first so you two can have a good chat. Since it's almost time, just have dinner with Kirisu Sensei and let her take you back."

　　Mafuyu's eyes suddenly widened, and she spoke anxiously.

　　"Asada-kun, please stay here..."

　　"Then I'll go back first. Until tomorrow!"

　　Before she finished speaking, Shinichi took his bag and stood up. After waving to them, he quickly left Mafuyu's room.

　　No matter how sharp the scene behind him was, he just crossed himself on his chest and silently cheered for him.

　　"I hope you can get along with the students as soon as possible... Accept everyone's love calmly, Kirisu Sensei."
