Mafuyu Wants Fumino to Keep it a Secret

When he heard someone calling him, Ren turned and looked back, only to see Fumino standing not far away, smiling at him.

"Yes, waiting for someone." Ren answered softly.

"Are you waiting for Gabriel-san?" Fumino asked with curiosity, holding two cups of coffee.

"Not really." Thinking of Mafuyu's instructions, Ren denied the statement without mentioning her name.

To avoid further questions, he changed the subject and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I came here just to buy some things, and then I saw Kamikawa-san, so I came to greet." Fumino explained. "I'm not disturbing you, am I?"

"No." Ren shook his head.

"It seems difficult to meet Kamikawa-san on weekends. You always seem to be very busy."

After looking around and finding no one approaching, Fumino said with a chuckle.

Since Ren didn't need weekend tutoring, he usually didn't meet her on weekends.

It seemed like the first time they coincidentally met on the street.

"I'm not too busy. Basically, I take walks on weekends." Ren honestly replied.

He rarely had busy weekends.

"So, does Kamikawa-san have a lot of free time on weekends?" Fumino's eyes sparkled, and she quickly grasped the key point.

"You could say that." Ren didn't deny it.

"In that case..."

"Kamikawa-san, why don't you get into the car?"

As Fumino was about to say something, a voice came from a distance, interrupting her words.

Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw a girl in Shuchi'in Academy uniform walking towards them, carrying two large bags of clothes.

"This..."

Fumino had an inexplicable feeling that this girl looked very familiar, but she didn't dare to confirm it.

At the same time, Mafuyu also noticed Fumino beside her, and her initial step suddenly stopped in its tracks.

Just now, her attention was focused on Ren, and she didn't realize that Fumino was standing next to him.

Now that it's over, she could only hope that Fumino wouldn't recognize her.

After hesitating for a moment, Fumino tentatively exclaimed, "Kirisu Sensei?"

"..."

Mafuyu didn't answer, just took out the car keys, unlocked the car, silently opened the trunk, put the clothes in her hands, then opened the door and got into the driver's seat.

"It's Kirisu Sensei, right?" Fumino asked in disbelief.

"Yes."

Fumino had seen and recognized her, so Ren stopped hiding it.

"This is very unexpected."

After a moment of silence, Fumino said this.

She guessed who Ren was waiting for here, but she never thought that the person he was waiting for was Mafuyu.

And Mafuyu was wearing a school uniform, so what did it mean?

Had precautions been taken to avoid rumors of forbidden love between a teacher and a student?

As long as Mafuyu wore the school uniform, wouldn't she be considered a teacher?

"Furuhashi-san, is there something you need to do later?"

Lowering the window, Mafuyu held back her embarrassment and asked, trying to look as serious as possible with a flat face.

After a moment of hesitation, Fumino answered honestly, "Eh? No, there isn't."

If she had business to attend to, she wouldn't be standing by the roadside chatting with Ren now.

"In that case, please inconvenience Furuhashi-san and Kamikawa-san to ride together in the car." Mafuyu said seriously.

"Yes."

Fumino opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

Ren continued to sit in the passenger seat and at the same time handed the bought coffee to Mafuyu. "Sensei, you still have change for the coffee you wanted."

"Give the coffee to Furuhashi-san. I don't want to drink coffee right now." Mafuyu only took the change from his hand.

After seeing her like this, Fumino lost interest in drinking coffee.

"For you."

After hearing her words, Ren handed one of the coffee cups to Fumino.

"Thank you."

After drinking the coffee, Fumino expressed her thanks first, then asked, "Um... Sensei, is there a connection with me?"

"Yes." Mafuyu nodded and looked at Fumino sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. "It's uncomfortable to say it here. If possible, I hope you'll come home with me. I'll drive you back."

"Back home..."

Fumino hesitated, glancing at Ren from time to time.

"Don't worry, Kamikawa-san will go with you too." After observing her small movements, Mafuyu continued.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Sensei."

Fumino made a decision.

"No, actually, I'm the one bothering you."

Mafuyu bowed her head and looked at the school uniform she was wearing.

Whatever happens, she has to ask Fumino to promise to help keep it a secret. If the news spreads, she will be embarrassed to go to school tomorrow.

"Is that so?"

Fumino thought about what the other party asked her, and at the same time, she speculated in her mind about the relationship between Ren and Mafuyu.

Anyway, the two of them looked harmonious. Without knowing their identities and ages, anyone who saw them would think they were a couple.

"Fasten your seatbelt."

Glancing at Fumino in the rearview mirror, Mafuyu reminded her.

"Understood."

Fumino fastened her seatbelt obediently and waited calmly until Mafuyu started driving.

After making sure both of them had fastened their seatbelts and sat down, Mafuyu started the car again and began to speed up on the highway.

"S-slow down, Sensei—, you're driving too fast!!"

Fumino sitting in the back seat, felt like she was riding a roller coaster, not a car. The undulating feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

If she didn't wear a seatbelt, she might have flown off by now.

No wonder the other party had to remind her to fasten seatbelt.

"Too fast? I don't think so."

Mafuyu had no intention of slowing down but rather accelerated even more.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

This was Fumino's only feeling at the moment.

"We're here."

After stopping her car in the apartment parking lot, Mafuyu said refreshingly.

She had finally returned, and she didn't need to worry about others seeing her like this again.
