If you're around, the sky will stay clear

　　"Lazy. This time I hired a housekeeping company to help. The next time I face this situation, I will give up on dealing with the mess I created because of this inertia of thinking."

　　"Perhaps I would have chosen to do this in the past, and thought that handing over things I wasn't good at to others was a natural thing..."

　　In the bathroom, Mafuyu looked at Shinichi very seriously.

　　"But I can't do it in front of you."

　　"You used to face so many difficulties and always believed that you could break through and face them without giving up. In the end, it proved that your persistence was right."

　　"Under your influence, Furuhashi-san and Ogata-san have also overcome subjects they were not good at. Compared to the beginning, they were completely different people. They constantly work on their shortcomings and develop into what they envision."

　　"As your teacher, how could I make such an escape choice in front of my students?"

　　"Perhaps you will say that I am making a fuss... Even so, I still want to try to face my own powerlessness and try to overcome my own incompetence..."

　　The volume got quieter until it was completely inaudible.

　　Mafuyu let go of Shinichi's hand and walked out of the bathroom.

　　Shinichi's eyes moved from her peach-shaped buttocks and traces of panties under her sweatpants, and looked at her hair lying behind her back.

　　"Forget what I just said. I'm sorry for making a joke. As an apology, next time I will treat you to dinner. Don't worry, I will definitely finish cleaning the house before tomorrow. "

　　She stood in front of the entrance, turning her head to look at him.

　　Shinichi looked at her.

　　"Okay... Does Sensei have a spare cell phone?"

　　Mafuyu pouted: "Isn't that so..."

　　"Then send your phone for repair first. If it can't be repaired, just buy a new one. You won't be able to contact me at a critical time, but that is very worrying… Very annoying."

　　Shinichi came out of the bathroom, took the cellphone that had been lying in the bucket for a long time. After trying the buttons to make sure the phone couldn't be saved, he wiped it with a rag and put it in his pocket.

　　Then, leaving Mafuyu looking unresponsive, he put on his socks and shoes at the entrance.

　　After preparing to leave, Shinichi looked at her who was still in front of him and said helplessly.

　　"Aren't you going to change clothes to go out? Even if you give me your wallet, I don't know which phone you want to buy."

Mafuyu asked hesitantly.

　　"You want to accompany me...?"

　　"Yeah, I just had lunch at your house today. Who told me to make this trip in vain?"

　　Saying impolite words, Shinichi opened the door and exited Room 201.

　　"There's nothing that can be done anyway. Let me see how you can clean up the messy room this afternoon."

　　"I look forward to it, Sensei."

　　When the door closed, the sound disappeared.

　　"…Even though I never agree, the identity of the 'supervisor' of the 'supervising teacher' should be quite interesting."

　　Shinichi leaned against the wall, suddenly he raised his voice and shouted.

　　"I am waiting for you here. Try as quickly as possible, Mafuyu Sensei!"

　　"Just tidy your hair, bring your wallet and keys, wear a mask if you're afraid of being seen without makeup, just prepare for the trip, don't be too..."

　　Click.

　　Before he finished speaking, the door was opened again, and Mafuyu wearing sportswear, came out with a small bag and looked at him weakly.

　　"Don't treat me like a child, and don't need to tell me one by one."

　　"Okay, okay, I understand~" His answer was careless without any sincerity, Shinichi walked towards the stairs.

　　"If you weren't a child, you wouldn't be afraid even if you heard the real name 'G', right?"

　　"What?!" Mafuyu's expression changed, and she followed Shinichi, and said boldly.

　　"That, of course..."

　　"Cockroach."

(The Japanese name for cockroach is ゴキブリ, the pinyin is Gokiburi, and the letter "G" is taken from this)

Mafuyu tried to cover her ears with trembling fingers, but she overcame this impulse a little with willpower.

　　She puffed out her plump chest, and her reactions began to calm down.

　　Shinichi encouraged.

　　"The first step to changing your weaknesses starts here. Come on, Mafuyu Sensei!"

　　"Hmph, you don't need to tell me!"

　　Mafuyu showed a proud smile, the next moment, a cruel chant came from beside her.

　　"Lots of cockroaches, cockroaches, cockroaches, cockroaches, and a family of cockroaches appeared. Your house is full of super big cockroaches that can fly..."

　　"…"

　　It was like hearing the sound of the skinny legs of an arthropod crawling on the ground.

　　Mafuyu's entire body was stiff. In the middle of the song, her face turned white and she started to become angry from embarrassment.

　　"Asada-kun!"

　　She shouted, looking very unhappy.

Shinichi stopped and looked at her with a smile.

　　"I'm here. What is it?"

　　"…"

　　For some reason, the anger just disappeared, leaving only a trace of joy in her chest.

　　Even though it was a deliberate expression, even though this person was five years younger than her… it was the most unforgettable smile she had ever seen.

　　Mafuyu looked away from Shinichi's face.

　　Her cheeks were slightly red, as were her ears, but she didn't notice.

　　"Forget it, it's okay."

　　She whispered in a low voice so that no one else could hear it.

　　"It's great to have you here."
