Chapter 475: Tsugumi: I Want to Do It Again! Healing Crippled Legs!
And so, Yuzuriha Inori stood dumbfounded for half an hour. Ouma Mana was even more at a loss beside her. She had wanted to stain this white paper, but in the end, she herself was filled with shame. Inori was completely unmoved because she didn't understand what they were doing. But she wasn't without any feelings; her body instinctively warmed, yet her heart felt inexplicably bitter.
"What is this… feeling?" she clutched her heart, confused.
Menjou Hare was asleep. After Ren covered her with a blanket, he sat on the edge of the bed. "What are you two doing here?"
Ouma Mana's gaze drifted. "Ren, I wanted to find you. I don't know what you were doing."
Inori was a well-behaved child. "He must have incited you, right?" he said, looking at Mana while stroking Inori's head. Under his touch, Inori comfortably squinted, feeling the bitterness in her heart vanish.
Ouma Mana didn't reply, basically acquiescing.
"I think you've forgotten that if I can pull you out, I can also decompose you," Ren narrowed his eyes slightly.
Mana's soul-body began to flicker erratically, looking like it could dissipate at any moment. But even in this situation, she showed no fear. She looked directly into his eyes. She did not fear death; rather, it was a release for her.
"Tsk." He clicked his tongue; he didn't really intend to kill her over such a small matter. After solidifying her soul, he glanced at the sleeping Hare. "That's enough for now. Let's go out."
Meanwhile, Shinomiya Ayase was helping Tsugumi clean up by the bed in Room One. The marks and traces of their passionate encounter were shocking to her eyes.
Perhaps feeling the movements, Tsugumi woke up. After meeting Ayase's gaze, her face burned hot. "S-Sister."
Ayase gently brushed back her sweat-soaked hair. "You've worked hard, Tsugumi."
"Mm…" At the mention of this, Tsugumi felt uncomfortable all over, especially with her sister helping her. After much hesitation, she stammered, "Sister, is… is it over?"
Ayase's eyes were filled with apology. "I'm sorry, Tsugumi. You still need to do your best for these three days. I'm not sure if it will succeed otherwise." She thought Tsugumi was in pain and tried her best to comfort her.
"Th-that's how it is?! O-okay…" However, Tsugumi's gaze drifted. Alongside her shyness, there was a different kind of anticipation. In her eyes, Ren was very considerate and gentle, always cooperating with her. She really wanted to experience it again. That was what her ideal love should be like.
"Oh, Ayase, you're here too." Ren suddenly walked in, startling both of them.
Tsugumi shyly shrank into the covers.
Ayase softly said, "Ren-kun, you should rest. I'll take care of Tsugumi." She thought he had come to check on her. Unfortunately, she was mistaken.
"Didn't I tell you? I don't need to rest," his expression was playful.
"Ah?" Ayase and Tsugumi both looked dumbfounded, their eyes subconsciously drifting down to the hard evidence of his claim still tenting his pants.
"!!!" Is he human?! Such a thought arose in both their minds.
"But Tsugumi is very tired," Ayase bit her lip.
"Uh…" Tsugumi actually felt pretty good. She didn't need to do anything herself; Ren took care of everything. But since her sister had said so, she couldn't speak up.
"Tsugumi can't do it?" Ren felt he had been very gentle; she should have recovered. However, even if she couldn't, he had plenty of ways. "How about you, Ayase?" At this moment, he looked very much like a big villain.
"Me?!" Her heart skipped a beat. As her sister, she was willing to bear it for her, but… she looked down at herself in the wheelchair. Her hair covered her eyes, her voice tinged with inferiority. "My legs are useless. I am just a cripple."
"The leg problem is easily solved." He walked in front of her, squatted down, and lifted her white nightgown, revealing her fair calves. She did not stop him; they were just a pair of crippled legs.
When his hand gently caressed her calf, it was impossible for her to feel anything. It should have been like that.
"How does it feel?" he gently rubbed twice.
Feeling the warmth, she subconsciously said, "Your hands are so warm, Ren-kun."
Tsugumi sat up with a start, forgetting to cover herself. "Sister, can your legs feel the temperature?!"
"!!!" Ayase suddenly reacted. "My legs!" Conscious? Is it an illusion?
In response, Ren picked up her feet and placed them on the ground. Then he stood up and extended both hands. "Give me your hands."
Dazedly, she offered them. With his strength, she was pulled up entirely. She thought she would be unsteady, and Tsugumi was ready to support her. But to her surprise, she stood steadily.
Then Ren stepped back. "Walk a couple of steps."
She pursed her lips, covering her mouth, unable to hide her excitement, yet apprehensive. Having used a wheelchair for many years, she felt a sense of insecurity.
