"Saeko-san! Are you interested in developing your career in the Public Safety Bureau?"
Saeko Busujima looked at the red-haired, wide-eyed woman in a Public Safety uniform before her and spoke again, a little embarrassed.
"Makima, I haven't mastered my Swordsmanship yet; I still need to study it more diligently."
"So, I can't accept your offer in the short term."
Saeko Busujima was very polite because the other party exuded an approachable aura.
If one were to ask Saeko Busujima for her specific feelings, it was that she actually felt a long-lost maternal love from Makima.
This feeling made it impossible for her to respond as coldly as she usually would.
"Eh?"
Makima's eyes flickered; this was already the second time.
She was unable to Dominate the young girl before her.
Yet, she clearly showed kindness towards her, just like everyone else.
But her request for her to join Public Safety was rejected twice.
Is this related to Akira? Or is it that existence that can contend with her and Dominate crows?
From Makima's perspective,
she didn't know that Akira possessed so many abilities.
In her understanding,
there weren't many cases of people acquiring multiple abilities.
Heroes didn't.
The Jujutsu Association didn't.
Public Safety didn't either.
So she didn't think that Akira alone possessed all the abilities.
However, even if it was two people, it had piqued her interest.
It was a good opportunity to use Makoy and the Gang members to probe the situation.
"That's truly a pity. If Saeko-san were willing to join the Public Safety system, she would definitely become a very famous figure within the entire Public Safety Bureau."
"Makima is too kind; my training is still far from my master's level."
Saeko Busujima didn't suspect anything and still felt very close to Makima.
However, regarding information about Akira and herself, she always glossed over it, humbly not revealing anything.
After seeing Saeko Busujima out the door,
Spider Devil Princi emerged from the side.
"Makima, we have already investigated Akira's true identity."
Makima showed a slight smile. "Let's go back to the office."
Time flew by, and it was four in the afternoon.
Akira had already left the hotel.
Only one person came out, though four went in.
The remaining three girls were left to rest in the hotel themselves.
Indeed, he couldn't put everyone into a Pokeball so quickly.
Recovering too fast sometimes would make him spend a little more time.
But how to say it—
coming once in a while, the experience was indeed very good.
Especially since Himeno and Yukinoshita Haruno didn't mind.
The scene of mountains stacked up was simply amazing… Alas~!
It seems that in the future, he'll have to use more training techniques and abilities, otherwise, if he wants to get more data growth, one day might not be enough.
Akira took out his phone and looked at the replies to his messages.
Two of them caught Akira's attention.
Shizuka Marikawa and Kirisu Mafuyu.
These two were actually out shopping together.
They were now planning to go home, order some takeout, and relax.
The remaining Saeko Busujima had already finished the matters related to the reward money.
She planned to invite Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kitagawa Marin to celebrate.
However, at present, they had not gathered yet.
They were currently heading to their common destination.
Of course, Saeko Busujima had naturally invited Akira.
But compared to Saeko Busujima's side,
he still decided to go to the faculty dormitory, which was closer.
Shizuka Marikawa and Kirisu Mafuyu had already arrived at the dormitory.
Buzz, buzz, buzz~!
"Coming."
Hearing the doorbell at the entrance,
Shizuka Marikawa quickly got up and walked toward the door.
At this moment, Kirisu Mafuyu sat in the living room, looking nervously toward the direction of the door.
It's not Akira, is it?
It can't be.
To be honest, Kirisu Mafuyu felt a little panicked.
Although she had indeed agreed to Akira and become his property,
she was a person, not an object.
She had her own thoughts.
Moreover, what happened at school made her cherish the present comfort very much.
Following Shizuka Marikawa to her dormitory,
if Akira really came, she could also use excuses like "it's inconvenient to open the door" to stall for time.
Hmph~!
Let him wait outside for a while after he arrives, for always bullying her before.
However, if he took his anger out on her,
wouldn't she be bullied again?
But then she thought—isn't he coming to her just to bully her?
Since she was going to be bullied anyway, why not get some satisfaction for herself?
Her gaze fixed on the delivery person at the door who was confirming the order with Shizuka Marikawa.
After realizing that there was no familiar figure behind him,
she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.
No—she wasn't thinking about that guy.
It's better if he doesn't come; then she can spend the rest of the day happily with Teacher Shizuka.
But no sooner had that thought crossed her mind than she suddenly felt a strange change happening in her body.
A tingly, numb sensation.
It made her involuntarily recall Akira's mischievously smiling face.
"Mafuyu-chan, did you miss me?"
When Kirisu Mafuyu heard that voice, her heart skipped a beat.
Her entire being instantly tensed up, yet at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a certain anticipation.
"Akira, how did you get in?"
"I clearly didn't see you."
"Mmm."
Beep.
Akira increased the output.
He had executed his plan, equipping Kirisu Mafuyu with three remote controls, each costing 100,000 yen from the store.
No—it should be one remote control, but it could control three points bound to Kirisu Mafuyu's body.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Although there was no physical object,
its effect was just as difficult to resist as if there were.
"Mmm~! Akira, what exactly is going on?"
"It's simple—I'm controlling you."
"How does it feel?"
"No, Akira—turn it off quickly."
"This is at Teacher Shizuka's house."
"It's only fun when we're at Teacher Shizuka's house."
Kirisu Mafuyu's heart was in despair.
She knew Akira would tease her,
but she didn't expect that after such a short time, he had already found new tricks.
He was finding new ways to tease her.
But…
it was so exciting.
In this situation, I actually felt an urge to be trained by Akira immediately.
No, it's not like that.
Teacher Shizuka—Teacher Shizuka is still here.
"Enjoy your meal."
"Thank you."
Shizuka Marikawa returned to the living room with fried chicken and fries.
She saw Kirisu Mafuyu sitting there, her face flushed red.
Her body seemed to be squirming involuntarily, as if from an itch.
"Teacher Mafuyu, what's wrong?"
Shizuka Marikawa placed the fried chicken and fries on the coffee table, a little puzzled.
Why was Kirisu Mafuyu fine a moment ago, but now she looked as if she were sick?
Kirisu Mafuyu, her face full of guilt, quickly fanned herself with her hand.
"N-nothing—it's just a bit hot, a bit hot."
Shizuka Marikawa picked up the air conditioner remote control.
Beep! Beep!
Cold air blew out.
But what followed was an even more intense reaction from Kirisu Mafuyu.
She was sitting on the tatami mat, her body unable to support her any longer, and she fell backward.
"Mmm~!"
"Teacher Mafuyu?"
Shizuka Marikawa's face was full of curiosity.
"N-nothing, Teacher Shizuka—I want to drink lemon soda, please…"
"Oh, oh, oh."
Fried chicken and fries, of course, should be paired with lemon water to cut through the grease.
But Kirisu Mafuyu's condition truly made her very worried.
So she walked over to Kirisu Mafuyu and touched her forehead. "Oh, it is a bit hot."
"Teacher Mafuyu, do you have a fever?"
As a school nurse, Shizuka Marikawa naturally always kept a first aid kit at home.
She immediately checked Kirisu Mafuyu's symptoms.
She found that Kirisu Mafuyu was already a little disoriented, and her breathing frequency was abnormal.
So Shizuka Marikawa immediately unbuttoned Kirisu Mafuyu's shirt to allow her to breathe freely.
But Kirisu Mafuyu's current state was completely different from what Shizuka Marikawa had imagined.
Beneath her exquisite sky-blue lace lining was a disaster that Shizuka Marikawa had no way of treating.
"Teacher Mafuyu, wait—I'll go get ice water and the first aid kit."
With that, Shizuka Marikawa rushed to the kitchen with a thump-thump-thump.
Gritting her teeth, Kirisu Mafuyu finally caught her breath.
"Akira, I can't take it anymore."
"I…"
Although the upper limit only increased by 1%,
the effect of this thing was too good.
"Hmm! Of course, I know."
"But we can't let Teacher Shizuka run around for nothing, can we?"
"So, I plan to let you infect Teacher Shizuka…"
Eh?
Kirisu Mafuyu was stunned. "You—you're going to do that to Teacher Shizuka?"
"No, no, no—this is just the flu. It will pass to Teacher Shizuka, and she'll be fine soon."
Kirisu Mafuyu watched as Shizuka Marikawa took out various medicines and placed ice water nearby.
But the next second,
Shizuka Marikawa's movements stiffened, and then her expression became strange.
What was this?
What was happening?
How could she feel something inside?
And also…
But Shizuka Marikawa only hesitated for a moment before she continued with the emergency cooling for Kirisu Mafuyu.
She removed Kirisu Mafuyu's open shirt.
Following the cooling procedure, she tried to allow the patient to have more direct contact with the air.
Because both of them were women, she even removed Kirisu Mafuyu's black stockings.
And when she discovered that Kirisu Mafuyu was already unable to control some of her bodily functions,
and a strange smell came from her underwear…
Her heart grew even more anxious.
Kirisu Mafuyu desperately wanted to tell Shizuka Marikawa about the predicament she was in.
But Akira was right beside her.
She had no way to do so.
"Mmm."
Shizuka Marikawa looked at the trapped Kirisu Mafuyu.
She didn't bother to cool Kirisu Mafuyu down, instead quickly pressing down on Kirisu Mafuyu's body, then reaching out a finger and inserting it into Kirisu Mafuyu's mouth.
This was an emergency—to prevent a patient experiencing sudden epilepsy from biting her tongue.
Just then, a force pushed her from behind.
Shizuka Marikawa uncontrollably fell onto the human cushion.
"Mmm."
The thing she had deliberately ignored could no longer be ignored.
At that moment, she also felt the world spinning.
And then, Kirisu Mafuyu recovered.
But her eyes were filled with shame, indignation, and guilt.
"Teacher Shizuka, I'm sorry."
Shizuka Marikawa hadn't yet understood the meaning of Kirisu Mafuyu's words.
She felt an abnormal heat ignite locally.
"Huh? Akira… why are you here?"
Shizuka Marikawa was startled, but her expression instantly calmed down.
She was Akira's woman; such a thing happening was only natural.
She just didn't understand how Akira had appeared behind her without her knowing.
"Your door wasn't closed properly just now."
"Eh? It wasn't closed properly?"
"Don't worry—I've already closed it for you."
Kirisu Mafuyu, hearing the conversation, was stunned.
That was Akira's… Mmm!
It was hot.
Why was Teacher Shizuka's reaction so calm?
It was as if she didn't care at all that Akira was there.
Mmm~!
"Teacher Shizuka, you and Akira are…"
Shizuka Marikawa turned her head, pushing back a strand of hair from her ear.
A faint blush rose on her exquisite face.
"I am Akira's woman."
"Eh? Since when?"
"Mmm."
Shizuka Marikawa's weight made it a bit difficult for Kirisu Mafuyu to breathe.
After all, she was 174 cm tall.
And there was that all-encompassing scale placed right there.
Coupled with Akira, who had suddenly appeared behind Shizuka Marikawa,
Kirisu Mafuyu had no temper at all.
"Yesterday morning."
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank Teacher Shizuka for curing my illness."
"So today, I'm here to repay Teacher Shizuka properly."
Shizuka Marikawa said nothing.
But Akira controlled the remote control.
She was already unconsciously…
"Akira, how do you plan to repay me?"
Akira smiled, raising both their Perception Manipulation by 10%.
In an instant, Kirisu Mafuyu's question, which she was about to blurt out, was blocked back by the sudden stimulation.
Just now, Akira was equally between the two of them.
But now, under Shizuka Marikawa's adjustment,
the pestle, like pounding garlic, perfectly crushed the peppercorns in the mortar each time.
A pungent aroma, unique to peppercorns, spread, making Kirisu Mafuyu cover her mouth.
"I am repaying you properly right now, Teacher Shizuka."
"Mm-hmm~! Akira, you get up first—Teacher Mafuyu seems to be sick."
"I'll treat her first."
Shizuka Marikawa had indeed become smarter, but she was still a bit simple-minded—very cute.
"No need, Shizuka. She just passed the virus to you."
"Now, I will help you treat it."
"Eh? I got infected too?"
"No wonder I felt a bit strange just now."
"Yes. You were indeed infected."
"But it's not difficult to cure."
"Just get some good exercise and work up a sweat."
"But right now, you definitely can't do it yourselves."
"So, let me help you."
Kirisu Mafuyu was going crazy.
How could this guy say such absurd things?
And Teacher Shizuka actually believed him?
Most importantly—
this guy was bullying her again, and severely so.
No.
I can't just be bullied.
I want to resist.
I want to rise up.
Kirisu Mafuyu's mind could no longer think of anything else.
She just wanted to quickly finish… and enter training.
Pfft.
Kirisu Mafuyu pulled the person upwards with her hands.
Like a backbend, some parts of her body exerted force.
Chh!
"Mmm."
Finally.
Finally.
It was like an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient adjusting a discordant puzzle piece back into place.
The emotion of that instant
was enough for Kirisu Mafuyu to forget her current situation.

I'm going crazy.
I'm really going crazy.
I can't refuse at all.
Faster.
Hurry up.
Kirisu Mafuyu gritted her teeth, her chin uncontrollably lifting.
Shizuka Marikawa was drawn in.
Forced to participate in the training session.
"Akira, will this cure Teacher Mafuyu?"
"Yes."
Akira watched the training value soar and replied very naturally. "Come, I'll help you with some preparations before the treatment."
"Oh dear."
Shizuka Marikawa could still endure it before.
But Akira's treatment instantly became the last straw that made her collapse.
"Akira, no."
"Shizuka, why not? You are my woman."
The joystick of the controller seemed to be controlling Shizuka Marikawa's movements.
Kirisu Mafuyu below was affected again.
In an instant,
she reached 100% of her training limit.
