Following Kisaragi Rin's gaze, Mafuyu Kirisu also lowered her head and saw the part of her abdomen that was exposed.
...It's over.
Her brain crashed, and Mafuyu Kirisu immediately sank into the water along with Medea and Lily.
"..." Kisaragi Rin didn't say anything, pretending nothing had happened as he continued into the hot spring.
Based on his understanding of Mafuyu Kirisu, saying anything would only make her feel more socially dead, leading her to avoid him for several days.
"Mahiru, Asou-san is here too."
Kisaragi Rin remarked after looking around.
"Why do you call her Mahiru, but I'm Asou-san?" Miyuri Asou complained, then nonchalantly slid her shoulder strap down.
This behavior made Lily look completely confused. What was this little girl trying to do?
Having only been soaking in the hot spring together for a few hours, Lily still didn't realize that Miyuri Asou was an adult.
Shiina Mahiru pulled Mafuyu Kirisu out of the water, preventing her teacher from drowning.
She then answered Kisaragi Rin, "Because Kisaragi and I have a closer relationship."
"Yes, that's right," Kisaragi Rin quickly followed up.
"I'm going to be hurt... I was the one who brought Rin-san back to the apartment in the first place, not only renting the apartment to you at a low price but also treating you to a meal..."
Struggling to squeeze a tear from the corner of her eye, Miyuri Asou put on a wounded expression.
The next moment, Rin, whom she had just referred to, grabbed Shizuka Marikawa's ball and threw it over.
"Ouch~"
"Asou-san, the drink you treated me to during that meal was Sleeping Tea."
Kisaragi Rin reminded her expressionlessly. The appearance of this term made Shiina Mahiru look at Miyuri Asou with an added layer of disbelief.
Miyuri Asou, far from being ashamed, took pride in it and questioned Kisaragi Rin indignantly.
"I wanted to ask you: I used double the dosage, plus the medicine for 'after winter, before summer,' yet you didn't react at all."
"Are you an idiot? With that many ingredients added to one cup of tea, I knew something was wrong after the first sip. I didn't make a fuss because I wanted to see what you were going to do to me. And you ended up trying to pull down my pants..."
Before Miyuri Asou leaned in to kiss him, Kisaragi Rin had actually thought she wanted to harvest his organs.
The more they talked about the past, the more ridiculous it became. Even Mafuyu Kirisu surfaced after hearing this, intending to savor such sweet gossip.
Miyuri Asou's face flushed. She tried to stand up in the bath but realized she had no intimidating presence, so she started splashing the water and acting spoiled instead.
"I don't care, I don't care! I'm just a Landlord Miss who wants to be repaid for her kindness and has desired you for a long time."
"How can you just say something like that directly!" Shiina Mahiru was blushing for Miyuri Asou, but then her heart suddenly tightened.
Even the former Landlord Miss had such a determined attitude in her pursuit, so what was she waiting for?
"...Asou-san, I'm raising your rent."
Kisaragi Rin was silent for a moment, but ultimately resorted to using his authority to threaten her.
"Don't you dare raise it!"
Miyuri Asou looked sad, quietly muttering things like "ungrateful."
This apartment was purchased by Yukinoshita Yukino from Miyuri Asou, and Kisaragi Rin knew Miyuri Asou had property elsewhere.
He really didn't know why this person, being so rich, cared so much about rent.
"Kisaragi-san's past is truly interesting. Why do you rarely tell Teacher about it?" Shizuka Marikawa asked curiously. She swam next to Kisaragi Rin, adjusted her posture, and sat down in his lap.
Shizuka Marikawa's words and actions successfully sank Mafuyu Kirisu once again.
"Teacher? Student?"
"Wait, why didn't I know about this relationship?"
"And what's with the embrace?"
"A teacher and student relationship is absolutely unacceptable. At least, you must wait until Kisaragi graduates."
Just thinking about Shizuka Marikawa's way of addressing Kisaragi Rin, Mafuyu Kirisu couldn't help but put herself in that position. As a result, her face grew redder and large amounts of steam erupted from the top of her head like a boiling kettle.
The water was boiling... "...There's nothing worth discussing."
Squeezing Shizuka Marikawa's exceptionally soft body, Kisaragi Rin said nonchalantly.
Kanroji Mitsuri, meanwhile, excitedly raised her hand.
"I know! Auntie Tsubakihara told me many interesting things."
"Eh, what were they?" Shiina Mahiru was extremely curious to know the details, whether they came from Auntie Tsubakihara or were the anecdotes told by Kanroji Mitsuri.
Kanroji Mitsuri put down Anna, who was in her arms, and excitedly raised her small hand to begin telling the story.
Kisaragi Rin: "..."
To Kisaragi Rin's ears, the story Kanroji Mitsuri heard from Tsubakihara Mira could not be called completely unbelievable, but it certainly contained a large amount of personal subjective speculation.
Yet the others, including Shizuka Marikawa in his arms, had already nodded in belief.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Kisaragi Rin pinched Kanroji Mitsuri's cute cheeks, effectively silencing her physically.
"Eh... don't pinch," Kanroji Mitsuri protested symbolically twice, then hugged Kisaragi Rin's arm, placing it against her chest while acting cute and coquettish.
Her figure and Shizuka Marikawa's were truly excellent; the curves that swayed everywhere, analyzed by the forces exerted, made it impossible for Miyuri Asou and Shiina Mahiru to look away.
"How exactly did they grow up like that?" Shiina Mahiru's caramel-colored eyes were full of doubt. In fact, her figure beneath the yukata was quite good, and when viewed in proportion to her waist, it could even be called voluptuous.
But Kanroji Mitsuri and Shizuka Marikawa?
Could this size and shape truly belong to ordinary people?
Even the mature woman forms of Medusa and Esdeath couldn't compare to those perfect contours.
"Wait a minute, they aren't ordinary people to begin with." Shiina Mahiru thought of Kisaragi Rin and realized that these women didn't belong to the category of ordinary people anyway.
Pondering the difference between ordinary and extraordinary, Shiina Mahiru looked at her reflection on the water's surface, lowering her head momentarily, lost in thought, while the disgruntled voice of Miyuri Asou next to her reached her ears.
"Damn it, why can't I grow taller!"
Miyuri Asou wasn't thinking; she was just resentful.
Twenty-seven years old, one meter thirty-four centimeters tall.
Fortunately, her appearance was cute, allowing her to be praised as delicate.
After hesitating for a long time, Mafuyu Kirisu finally couldn't help but ask, "Shizuka, is it true that you are Kisaragi's teacher?"
Mafuyu Kirisu held onto a sliver of hope.
Hmm... hoping this was just a bit of flirtation.
Unfortunately, Shizuka Marikawa shattered her fantasy.
"Yes, that's right, I am a teacher."
Mafuyu Kirisu was sunk again, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: If Shizuka Marikawa can do it, doesn't that mean I can too... No! A teacher and student relationship is absolutely impossible! I must correct this wrong world!
Driven by the atmosphere, Lily sank into the water and then surfaced stealthily next to Medea, asking, "Medea-oneesan, what are you planning for tonight?"
"Let's give tonight to Esdeath first."
Medea replied, ignoring Lily's look of disbelief, and quickly moved to an advantageous position near the Master. "Let Mitsuri continue talking. I actually want to know too."
