Ophelia thought for a while and decided not to tell Matthew the real reason.

After all, even if she knew, there was nothing she could do. It would only add to her troubles.

But what excuse should I use to get away with it?

Just when Ophelia was troubled by this problem, Mashu spoke at this time.

She asked cautiously:

"Well, Miss Ophelia."

"What is the relationship between you and Senior Ian?"

"What's the relationship?"

Ophelia really didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.

She really wanted to tell everyone what Ian had done.

But at the same time we have to admit that -

This is really not something that can be announced casually.

I was shaved bald in my room by a man I met for the first time.

Telling it to others would only make you lose face.

Seeing that Ophelia did not answer, Mashu's throat trembled slightly, and then, as if she had made some painful decision, she spoke:

"Miss Ophelia."

"Are you... and Senior Ian in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?!"

"..."

Ophelia was stunned for two seconds, and after confirming that she had heard correctly, she spoke:

"Mashu, what are you talking about!"

"How could he and I be boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"But--"

Mash looked up, looking sad.

"Miss Ophelia."

"You obviously came here with Senior Ian today, right?"

Isn't that a matter of course?

This guy tied himself up for the whole night!

"And you've always been close to him."

Please.

It was that guy who wouldn't let me go!

"You two were chatting very intimately just now."

Can we not talk about that?

This guy wants to do something extraordinary!

Ophelia realizes that Matthew has completely misunderstood the relationship between her and Ian.

She quickly explained:

"Mashu, you misunderstood."

"My relationship with Ian is not what you think."

However, Mashu was not happy to hear this.

Instead, she became even sadder.

"Miss Ophelia, I know you are a kind person and you don't want to hurt me like this."

"But if you say——"

"If Senior Ian had chosen you before I met him, I would have no complaints."

"after all……"

Mash raised her head and gave a rather forced smile.

“I really don’t have any advantages.”

"..."

As Ophelia looked at Matthew like this, she became more and more aware of what Ian meant by what he said.

Long-term loneliness has made her fall into a state of lack of confidence.

"no."

Ophelia shook her head in denial.

"I don't have that kind of relationship with him."

"I'm not interested in him either. I just want to help."

"so--"

"There is no such thing as you think."

"Eh?"

Mash looked up.

Her eyes were filled with surprise.

"Miss Ophelia, is this true?"

"real."

“Is that so…” Mashu’s face turned slightly red, and happiness was written between her eyes and brows.

"Senior Ian is still the same Senior Ian."

"that is really good!"

Looking at the completely different Mashu in front of her, Ophelia felt somewhat emotional.

She hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Matthew, do you have that kind of feeling towards Ian?"

"Eh?"

Perhaps it was the first time I was asked about my deepest feelings.

Mashu looked embarrassed.

However, she nodded very firmly and answered in a rather shy voice:

"Yes...yes."

really.

But Ophelia was not surprised at all.

After all, Ian had used the excuse of "wanting to sleep with Matthew" to attack him.

Even though I know he doesn't really want to sleep with Mashu, the relationship between them is definitely not too superficial.

"But Mash—"

Ophelia looked at the petite pink-haired girl in front of her.

"You and Ian have only known each other for a short time, right?"

"Yes, it is."

Mashu looked at Ian standing beside her, then quickly retracted her gaze.

"But every second I spend with Senior Ian makes me feel very happy."

“Nothing like this has ever been tried before.”

"So I……"

Matthew did not continue.

But Ophelia could totally understand that feeling.

It’s like when you’re shopping and suddenly see something you really like.

There were no signs and no reason.

But the first time I saw it, I knew it was what I liked.

but--

Ophelia felt that she had an obligation to remind Matthew.

"Well, Mash."

"Although saying this may be a bit of a downer."

"But... the real Ian might be very different from what you see on the surface."

"I'm worried that you won't be able to accept it by then."

"Well, I know."

Matthew glanced at Ian again, then looked back at Ophelia in front of her.

She whispered her "secret" in a tone as if she was talking to her best friend.

"Miss Ophelia, don't tell anyone else."

"Actually...senpai is a very lustful person."

Having said this, Mashu covered her chest, as if she was recalling something.

"He's already touched my breasts twice."

"..."

To be fair.

If Ophelia had heard Matthew say such things before she met Ian, she knew she would probably say he was being a hooligan.

But the chilly feeling beneath her body made her realize that Ian actually had no such thoughts.

After all, even he himself had limited mobility at that time, and the final choice he made was to pull out the weeds in a way that made him feel ashamed.

It seems that he is not even willing to train her...

Eh? !

Ophelia blushed.

no? !

What are you thinking about?

How come I act like I'm willing to accept all this?

"That's it..."

Ophelia held up her skirt to hide the secret of her changed body.

"pretty good."

"If you have such thoughts, it may be a precursor to the next step."

Damn.

What are you talking about?

but--

Looking at Matthew's happy expression, Ophelia felt that this was not unacceptable.

Just like Ian said.
