Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Matsueda Mami became increasingly flustered, her face turning pale, and she dared not let go of Bai Feng's hand.

After noticing this, Shiro Shiro gently comforted him, "Matsueda-sensei, it's alright. Let go of my hand. I'll be here watching over you."

"But I'm really scared." Matsueda Mami knew this, but she was still very scared and didn't dare to let go of Bai Feng's hand.

Seeing her like this, Shiro Kaede sensed that something was very wrong.

After all, even if someone is afraid of water, they wouldn't be so afraid that they wouldn't dare to stand alone.

He suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion:

"Matsueda-sensei, did something happen to you in the past?"

Matsueda Mami remained silent for a long time before explaining, "When I was a child, I fell into a river while playing in the water. I almost drowned because of it, but luckily someone passing by saved me. However, because of this incident, I have been very afraid of water ever since."

"I'm even hesitant to take a bath."

Shiro Shiro wondered why Matsueda Asami was so afraid of water and hadn't even learned to swim yet.

So that's what it was about.

"Does my aunt and Ms. Reiko know?"

Matsueda Asami scratched her cheek:

“Ayaka knows.”

"But Reiko doesn't know."

Knowing that Kubouchi Reiko, though outgoing and fond of gossip, wasn't a bad person, Shiro Shiro said:

"I don't think even if Reiko-sensei finds out, she'll say anything to you."

Matsueda Mami pouted and stammered:

"I know Reiko won't say anything."

"But that's one aspect; another is because I want to overcome the fact that I can't swim."

"Only those who have experienced it truly understand how terrifying drowning is."

"Look, what if one day I encounter a child who needs help just like I did, and I happen to know how to swim? Wouldn't I be able to save her?"

Shiro Shiro was stunned for a while, but he didn't laugh at Matsueda Mami.

From what he observed in the class during this period, he could tell that Matsueda Mami was indeed a very responsible teacher.

"I understand, I will definitely teach you well, teacher." Shinobu Kaede said earnestly, but still couldn't help asking, "What if you encounter someone bigger than you? Would you still risk your life to save them?"

Matsueda Mami muttered, "I'm not stupid. I definitely won't blindly try to save someone. I'll either call for help or look around for any tools. After all, even if I go into the water, I can't support someone bigger than me."

"Isn't blindly following this path just suicide?"

Hearing this, Shiro Shiro felt relieved. He was genuinely worried that Matsueda Mami would learn to swim and would rush to her rescue in any situation.

after that.

After some time of comforting, Shiro Shiro finally dared to let go of his hand and stand alone in the water.

Matsueda Mami's breathing was a little rapid, but when she saw Kamishiro Shirokaze there, she inexplicably felt an overwhelming sense of security.

Jindai Bai Feng suggested:

"Try standing in the water for a few minutes now, and get used to it by yourself."

"Just treat water like you would any other air."

Although Matsueda Mami was still a little scared, she listened to Bai Feng's advice and stood in the water to get used to it.

After standing there for a while, surprisingly nothing happened.

She was very happy.

Kamishiro Shiro nodded with satisfaction, and after teaching Matsueda Asami some swimming techniques, said:

"Now, hold my hand, I'll pull you, and you slide your legs behind me, try swimming a little."

Matsueda Asami nodded nervously and said, "Yes."

When she held Bai Feng's hand, she was a little shy, but soon, because her legs were floating in the air, past memories instantly surfaced in her mind, and the fear of drowning arose spontaneously.

Terrified, her body went out of control, her feet flailing wildly, and her grip on Bai Feng's hand began to thrash.

The water splashed up repeatedly.

In this struggle, she even accidentally drank some water, which made her even more panicked.

Fortunately, Shiro Kaede had been watching her the whole time and quickly took her hand, supporting her steadily.

"Matsueda-sensei, are you alright?"

Matsueda Mami coughed a few times before recovering, then shook her head sullenly and said:

"fine."

"I've shown you, Kamishiro-kun, the useless side of your teacher."

"Even when you're helping me, I'm still like this."

Kamdai Bai Feng smiled and said:

"What's this?"

"When I was learning to swim, I saw people whose reactions were even bigger than yours, the teacher's."

"But they all eventually learned to swim."

"I think you can definitely do it too, teacher."

Hearing Shiro Shiro's encouragement, Matsueda Asami felt a warmth in her heart, thinking that he really was quite good, no wonder so many girls liked him.

However, we haven't heard anything about him dating female students. Could it be that he really likes older sister types or loli types?

Otherwise, why wouldn't he interact with other students yet?

So that must be how it is.

Matsueda Mami blushed, thinking to herself, "Isn't she the kind of girl who combines the characteristics of an older sister and a loli?"

Wouldn't that perfectly pinpoint Bai Feng's ideal type?

after that.

Knowing that Matsueda Asami was afraid of water, Shirakawa Shirakawa secretly released Skitty.

Because Shiro Shiro has the ability of [Invisibility], he can minimize the presence of Xiangwei Miao in the eyes of others.

Even if the cat with the tail appeared right in front of Matsueda Mami, she wouldn't notice it at all.

Then, Shiro Shiro had Mukae activate the [Singing] ability.

Because the song of the Skitty cat can calm people's minds.

In this situation, Matsueda Asami would not be gripped by fear at all.

Shiro Shiro planned to let Matsueda Mami get used to being in water first, so that it would be easier to teach her a lot later.

The same is true.

With the effect activated, Matsueda Asami was no longer so afraid of water.

In addition, Shiro Shiro activated her [Speech] ability, constantly encouraging and teaching Matsueda Mami, influencing her emotions.

finally.

After being taught for a while, Matsueda Asami was finally able to pull him along and swim slowly.

But for now, this is all she can do.

However, Shiro Shiro was already very satisfied.

I think if she tries a few more times, she should be able to learn to swim on her own.

However, it was already dark.

Kamidai Bai Feng said:

"Let's get here first today."

Matsueda Mami was pleasantly surprised that she wasn't afraid of water like she used to when she learned to swim, and was even able to swim for a little while with the help of Kamishiro Shirakaze.

You know, back when she took swimming lessons, no one could teach her.

They become helpless as soon as they get into the water and have to be rescued by others.

How could things have come to this?

She thought for a moment, her face growing even more shy, and she secretly glanced at Bai Feng.

For some reason, Matsueda Asami felt a strange sense of peace and tranquility whenever she stood next to Shirafumi.

Could it be that she has fallen for Bai Feng?

this.

He's my best friend's nephew!

But it doesn't seem like it's impossible, does it?

Nowadays, many novels and TV dramas feature stories where the female lead's best friend's nephew dates and gets married.

She could do that too, right?

after that.

Matsueda Asami invited Shirakaze out for dinner, and then they said goodbye to each other.

at this time.

Shiro Shiro looked at the time and realized it was already past eight o'clock.

It was still a bit early to go home, and he suddenly remembered that Aibe Shino had said she wanted to go shopping for clothes with him, so he planned to ask her if she was free.

If not, he goes back to the coffee shop to help out.

Shiro Shiro took out his phone and glanced at LINE in the app list.

But he didn't choose to click in to see if his girlfriends had sent him any messages.
