But Sister Manfuyu woke up at such a good time, could she have heard something?

It's true that Sakurai has already confronted Kirisu Mafuyu, but if possible, he still doesn't want Kirisu Mafuyu to know too much for the time being.

It was as if his mother had forcibly sealed his memory before this.

Sakurai is still not happy about this.

But--

Sometimes too much knowledge is just a curse.

Knowing too much will bring misfortune.

This is true!

Sakurai also knows that many blind people have been haunted by ghosts because of too much contact with the other world.

This is not an isolated case in the other world.

Sakurai doesn't want this to happen to Kirisu Madoka.

Not even a little bit.

As long as Sister Mafuyu is Sister Mafuyu, it’s fine. She knows a little bit, but she doesn’t need to know too much. This is what Sakurai wants to see.

This was the only thing he was sure of.

Unlike what Sakurai had imagined, Kirisu Madoka didn't scold him or pursue anything. She just looked at him quietly, her cold expression revealing deep shock and confusion.

"Sakurai-san, those three words you just said, if I heard correctly, should be Chinese."

"When did you learn that?"

Kirisu Mafuyu, who spoke after a long time, asked Sakurai in confusion.

As a world history teacher, Kirisu Madoka taught herself several languages, including China, which is across the sea from this country.

She couldn't understand why Sakurai suddenly said these three words when he was surprised.

What I just said, was it Chinese?

Eyes wide open, Sakurai was also stunned.

like...

Indeed, what he just shouted were the three words "Sister Manfuyu".

what to do...

How to explain?

With what Kirisu Madoka had known about Sakurai during this period, she could tell at a glance what her student was hesitating about.

Is there something unspeakable?

"I copied today's lesson from another teacher. Can I teach you first and then go out for a bite to eat?"

Kirisu Mafuyu spoke again and asked Sakurai.

"Mafuyu-sister, don't you want to ask something?"

Sakurai was a little stunned. Kirisu Madoka's reaction was completely different from what he had imagined.

Looking at Sakurai, Kirisu Madoka didn't understand where this inexplicable trust in her came from.

Maybe it was because she watched Sakurai grow up, or maybe it was because Sakurai was the first person to know her true face.

Or maybe...

It’s because of that sentence [Everything is arranged by Sister Manfuyu].

she...

His subconscious trust and concern for Sakurai was probably much deeper than she imagined.

so...

Looking at Sakurai, Kirisu Madoka only said this one sentence at the end.

"I believe in Sakurai-san."

This short sentence made Sakurai take half a step back uncontrollably.

He opened his eyes wide, and a warm current seemed to flow in his chest.

What is this feeling, so warm.

It feels like my body is about to jump up uncontrollably...

Is it touching?

Sakurai felt that his eyes were a little moist, as if something was about to flow out.

He didn't quite understand why Kirisu Madoka's words made him want to cry.

When did he become so fragile?

Sakurai couldn't comprehend it, and didn't understand his own feelings at all.

He had never encountered a similar situation either in his previous life or in this life.

So I simply cannot understand how moved I feel right now.

Where on earth did it come from?

4. Kirisu Mafuyu is at a loss

"Sakurai-san? Are you okay?"

In fact, Sakurai did not skip class today.

He was asking for leave seriously.

When she heard from other teachers that Sakurai did not come today, she naturally asked for leave for Sakurai.

Then I entrusted the course to another colleague and rushed over.

After that, I entered Sakurai's apartment without his consent, and saw Sakurai lying on the bed, looking disheveled and haggard, with a frown on his face, not moving at all.

After seeing this scene, Kirisu Madoka understood one thing.

That means Sakurai-san probably went to solve the incident in the other world again last night.

She didn't try to figure out what happened, nor did she force Sakurai to wake up from her sleep.

After making sure that he was not sick but just overtired, he carefully cleaned his body without disturbing Sakurai.

Then he took the priest's uniform, which was smelling of sweat, blood and mildew, to the balcony for washing.

By the way, she also tidied up the room with great difficulty, which was countless times cleaner than hers.

Because she was really not good at doing housework, it took a lot of time and energy to complete it all, and she was exhausted.

After that...

She seemed to have fallen asleep on the side of Sakurai's bed without realizing it, accompanied by the smell of Sakurai's classmate.

When I woke up, Sakurai was gone.

Then she vaguely heard the voice of Sakurai-san talking to someone in the bathroom.

That...

It seems like he is making a promise to someone...

Firm and calm words.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Madoka-san."

“I’m still me, nothing is different.”

Sakurai reacted immediately and took half a step back, avoiding the hand that Kirisu Madoka stretched out to check her body temperature.

"Don't you need tutoring?"

"Let's start quickly."

"I'm hungry, and now I just want to go out and eat."

For some reason, Sakurai didn't want to let Kirisu Mafuyu know that his heartbeat was accelerating, so he brought up what Kirisu Mafuyu had just said and changed the subject.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately."

Kirisu Mafuyu said this and obediently cooperated with Sakurai to change the subject.

I opened the lesson plan I brought with me and naturally started today's tutoring.

After recalling his past memories, Sakurai's academic ability level further improved.

In about an hour, Sakurai mastered the lessons he had missed.

Perhaps, it was because I didn't want Sakurai-san to waste this talent that I kept forcing him to study.

Maybe studying isn't necessary for Sakurai-san.

Looking at the profile of Sakurai-san who was sitting next to her and writing something seriously, Kirisu Madoka thought as she explained the knowledge in the lesson plan.

As she was thinking, Kirisu Madoka stared at the profile of Sakurai-san and became absorbed in it without noticing.

"Mafuyu-nee? Mafuyu-nee?"

Now...

When it came to Sakurai, he called Kirisu Mafuyu instead.

"what happened?"

"Is there something you don't understand?"

Kirisu Madoka, whose cheeks were inadvertently a little red, turned her head away inconspicuously and asked Sakurai the question instead.

"Mafuyu-san explained it very well. I understood it all."

"It's full. There's no more room."

Tapping his head, Sakurai indicated that he already understood everything.
