I won't confess in the bathroom
After doubting herself for a long time, Mafuyu seemed to have regained her senses, she looked at Shinichi in confusion.
"No, it's... Asada-kun, are you here?"
Shinichi didn't care that she was asking a nonsensical question, and shook his phone screen.
"Yes, after receiving your message, I came to save you in the bath, Sensei."
Seeing him swipe the screen of the alarm that was about to sound, Mafuyu let out a sigh of relief.
"So that's how it is... That's great..."
She held on to the edge of the tub, trying to stand.
It's just that she sat in the bathtub for too long, her hands and feet became weak, as soon as one of her legs was out of the bathtub, she staggered slightly and fell forward.
"Oh… Sensei, let me take you to the hospital."
Her slender but not skinny arms supported his shoulders just in time.
At close range, Shinichi took her out of the bath without touching her anywhere except her hands.
Mafuyu placed her hand on his arm, and felt the heat under his skin continue to spread into her body, her heart felt warm.
Her ice blue eyes looked at him with a tenderness that she didn't even notice.
In less than a second, she lowered her head, adjusted her condition, and her voice returned to cold tone.
"...Thank You. Let you help me a little more."
"Okay...So, what's going on here? Is it haunted?"
Shinichi judging by her frightened appearance, could it be that Sadako was jealous of Mafuyu's beauty and got off the TV to talk to her?
Mafuyu shook her head, and it took her almost a minute to recover, let go of his arms, and stand up.
Although her face was still pale, it was at least calmer than usual.
"There are no monsters or ghosts in this world. Don't believe in such unscientific things."
Shinichi looked at her.
(If you have the energy to teach me a lesson, don't grab my clothes!)
The fact that she clung to the corner of his clothes and huddled behind his back really made people not know where to complain.
"…So, was there something outside that scared you until now?"
Shinichi said while trying to get out of the bathroom.
Continuing to stay in this small space with the cute teacher who had softened, he was afraid that he would have evil thoughts and take the opportunity.
However, before he took a few steps, he was pulled back by Mafuyu.
"Correct answer. For now, I won't hide anything from you, Asada-kun..."
Mafuyu hugged his arm tightly again, seemingly gaining courage from him, and spoke with lingering fear.
"This morning, while I was doing my routine cleaning, I encountered the biggest enemy of my life... And there was more than one."
"Enemy?" Shinichi saw the chaotic scene outside and suspicion arose in his mind.
"That's right. Everything is fine, but because of their appearance, this room has become a miserable state… I was also forced to approach the bathroom, and I didn't dare to take another step, so I could only wait for you."
Mafuyu spoke in a heavy tone, and the frightened expression had not disappeared.
"Natural disasters. Such a huge amount is simply too terrifying…"
"Don't talk about how much trash you produce in a day before your routine becomes something like end-of-year cleaning…"
"It's a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster, okay?"
"I didn't expect you to be so afraid of—"
"Stop!" Before Shinichi could finish his words, Mafuyu interrupted.
"Don't mention that name!"
Shinichi looked at her strangely.
"I didn't plan to say it from the start... Because girls who are afraid of 'G' don't even dare to hear 'G''s real name. That is a common situation."
"What settings?" Mafuyu looked confused, but didn't forget to reply, "Don't talk about girls to adults. I'm not a simple type of girl."
Still insisting on those inexplicable details...
Shinichi didn't intend to answer her question, and instead asked: "Where is your cell phone?"
Mafuyu pointed to the bucket in the corridor and said confidently: "It's inside. After I sent you the message, it was accidentally dropped."
"Not suprisingly..."
Shinichi felt a headache.
He was too lazy to complain, was this really an outstanding young female teacher who had lived alone for several years?
You can live healthily until now, thanks to the author who wrote this....
"Hah? I feel like you are looking down on me," Mafuyu with dissatisfaction and muttered.
"Misunderstanding. If it weren't for the appearance of 'G', I would be able to do small things like tidying up my room by myself, and I wouldn't need to ask you for help..."
"I also tried to chase it away, but it didn't work. On the contrary, more and more are appearing from around the corner..."
Thinking about that scene, her face turned pale, she moved closer to Shinichi.
The two of them were seen hugging each other and squeezing into the bathroom door.
As a feisty 17 year old teenager, Shinichi couldn't take it anymore. He mustered up the courage to attack Mafuyu who currently had no ability to fight back.
"Kirisu Sensei!"
He broke free from Mafuyu's grasp, turned to face her, and at the same time held her hand.
"Can you hear me?"
Mafuyu opened her mouth, and her cheeks were stained with red.
After her mind went blank, she finally regained her short-term thinking ability. She reflexively avoided the boy's too hot eyes, turning her red face away.
"It's still too early! Don't talk about the age difference. You are still in school. You have to talk about this kind of thing to maintain the atmosphere..."
"I won't confess in the bathroom. Don't worry, it's not like that."
Shinichi interrupted her misunderstanding, and said to the frightened Mafuyu.
"I know you might be dissatisfied... But let's ask a housekeeping company to clean the room."
He looked at her seriously, holding her hand tightly, showing his firm attitude.
And also use this to dispel evil thoughts that have just arisen.
"How? Let 'G' leave it to them. Let's go down for coffee and discuss the exchange meeting?"
"…"
Mafuyu fell silent.
Finally, she shook her head.
