Chapter 215: It's Okay to Touch, Right? (Bonus Chapter 2) / Chapter 216: Her God-Tier Assist

Because she needed to figure something out: Shizuka was clearly more beautiful than before.

This also happened to her.

Therefore, there is only one answer— Shizuka is being well nourished.

So here's the question.

Who exactly is the man who brings Shizuka comfort?

She's been paying attention these past few days; there's never been a close male friend around Hiratsuka Shizuka!

Even her best friend couldn't find out, does that mean Hiratsuka Shizuka was deliberately hiding it?

Chapter 215 Is it okay to touch it? (Bonus Chapter 2)

Matsukaze Mayu didn't consider herself a smart woman.

Among the people she knew, whether it was Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yukino, Utaha, Nakano Ichika...

She believed that these people were all smarter than her.

Sometimes, she even felt that she was too clumsy.

Although her students respected her greatly and sincerely bestowed upon her the title of "Our Saint Matsukaze," she always felt that she was not good enough.

Therefore, after discovering Hiratsuka Shizuka's secret, she always doubted that she might not be able to find out the truth at all.

Unless he asks Yukino for help himself.

But this was Hiratsuka Shizuka's private matter, so how could she dare to tell others without permission?

Driven by anxiety, lack of confidence, and a thirst for knowledge, she has been subconsciously paying attention to her best friend's actions lately.

Until that day, she heard from a female colleague that "Teacher Hiratsuka seems to have a fever."

At first, she was quite worried, and disregarding her own weakness in socializing, she quickly asked her female colleague about the situation.

But as she listened, she started to sense that something was wrong.

She still remembers her female colleague's exact words very clearly.

"It turns out that Teacher Hiratsuka can be stubborn too. Her face was completely red, which was clearly a symptom of a high fever. But she said she had taken medicine and was fine, so I kept an eye on her, thinking that if she hadn't recovered by the end of the school day, I would have to take her to the infirmary."

"To my surprise, she recovered in about ten minutes. Later, she even asked me to lend her a pair of pants. Although she didn't say why, I could guess that her pants must have been soaked with sweat from the fever."

It was these words from her female colleague that made Matsukaze Mayu completely suspicious.

Because she asked for the specific time.

The day her best friend had a fever happened to be the same day that Matsukaze Mayu witnessed Hiratsuka Shizuka going to Fushimi Makoto.

She also witnessed Hiratsuka Shizuka Fushimi Makoto to the staff office.

The other person was fine during the day, so how Fushimi Makoto Hiratsuka Shizuka went to the office?

Is it possible that Shizuka doesn't actually have a fever, but rather her body is hot for another reason?

With these discoveries, combined with Hiratsuka Shizuka's noticeably refreshed appearance, Matsukaze Mayu couldn't help but come up with a bold idea.

Shizuka did it too!

And she and I are doing the same thing, the same person...

Why do you seem so distracted today? Is something on your mind?

Hiratsuka Shizuka had just finished her yoga practice, stood up from the ground. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and the fabric was transparent.

Matsukaze Mayu stared at her best friend's mature figure for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. "Yes, I do have something on my mind."

"Would you mind telling me?" Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up the yoga mat and joked as usual, "I might be asking this unnecessary question, but we're good friends. Like, I've told you my secret about always failing at blind dates before."

"Shizuka, do you mean we should be honest with each other and not deliberately hide things from one another?" Matsukaze Mayu suddenly asked.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was currently facing away from Matsukaze Mayu, and she was packing her things.

So she didn't see that Matsukaze Mayu, who was usually gentle and quiet, was now having a sharpening look in her eyes.

As she set the yoga mat down, she chuckled and said, "I never said that. After all, everyone has secrets. Of course, if you're willing to share your secrets with me, I'd be very happy."

"Why?"

"Because that means our relationship is very good."

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around and met Matsukaze Mayu's seemingly surprised gaze. "But we've always been good friends, so our friendship doesn't need to be proven by sharing secrets."

Matsukaze Mayu agreement, as if she thought so too.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was covered in sweat and was going to take a shower.

But as soon as she came out of the house with her clothes, she heard Matsukaze Mayu say, "Let's take a bath together. We're not going out tonight anyway, and if I get sleepy later, I can just rest."

"Sure." Hiratsuka Shizuka certainly didn't mind.

As the steam rose from the bathroom, Hiratsuka Shizuka saw that the bathtub was full, turned off the water, and called out to the outside, "Mayu, the water's ready."

"I'm here." Matsukaze Mayu appeared quickly.

This wasn't the first time they'd bathed together, and given their close relationship, they didn't feel awkward taking off their clothes together.

Perhaps because Matsukaze Mayu preoccupied, Hiratsuka Shizuka was much faster than her opponent.

When she picked up her towel and turned around, she saw that Matsukaze Mayu had just taken off her school uniform skirt, and she couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

She also highly approves of her best friend's great figure.

Especially after she took off that well-tailored uniform skirt, her perfectly proportioned figure was revealed, and even Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was also a woman, had to compliment her on her even better figure.

Matsukaze Mayu a charming face, casually draped hair, and a petite and cute figure, yet she has an extremely alluring body curve. Almost every part of her body makes people want to reach out and feel it.

Especially striking is her voluptuous figure, which features a perfectly toned waist with no excess fat. Her adorable, recessed belly button adds to the overall charm. All the dramatic curves of her body are showcased on her slender waist.

That little pervert Fushimi must really like it, right?

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought to herself.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Matsukaze Mayu noticed her friend's gaze and asked, somewhat puzzled.

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled to hide her embarrassment, "No matter how many times I see it, I still can't help but admire your great figure."

"You have a great figure too," Matsukaze Mayu said earnestly.

The next moment, as if struck by a sudden thought, she looked over with a mixture of longing and anticipation. "Can I touch it too?"

"Huh?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka paused for a moment, then quickly understood what her friend meant.

She met her friend's gaze with amusement. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

I couldn't resist making a move on you in the office because I wanted to know how much Makoto liked your figure.

Matsukaze Mayu pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed; she was too shy to give a reason.

Hiratsuka Shizuka said helplessly, "Don't look so embarrassed. We're all women. You can touch me if you want."

"Thanks."

Matsukaze Mayu's face clearly showed joy.

Hiratsuka Shizuka expressed her incomprehension.

Compared to her friends, her only advantage is her height.

In terms of scale, I can't even compare to the other party.

Matsukaze Mayu quickly reached out her hand.

She first stuck out a finger and poked it.

Then you use your hands to feel it.

Looking at her friend's focused yet nervous expression, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You look like a little girl who hasn't graduated yet."

People are often most vulnerable when they're joking.

In that instant, Matsukaze Mayu blurted out, "He must really like it, right?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned.

Her heart suddenly started racing.

Matsukaze Mayu wasn't finished speaking, "I was talking about Makoto."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was completely dumbfounded.

My heart was in my throat.

Chapter 216 Her Divine Assist

After Matsukaze Mayu said, "I was talking about Makoto," the entire bathroom fell silent instantly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was caught off guard, and she couldn't control her expression at all; her panic and guilt reached their peak at that moment.

Then came a moment of silent solitude.

"Let's go in and take a bath first." Matsukaze Mayu usually seemed easy to bully, suddenly took control of the conversation.

"Okay, okay." Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded guiltily.

Two stunningly beautiful women entered the bathtub one after the other and sat down facing each other.

The heat still lingered around them, but it couldn't hide their expressions.

"Shizuka, I'm not blaming you, nor do I mean to condemn you." Matsukaze Mayu's voice was still soft and sweet, very pleasant to hear.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was incredibly embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Although she knew that Matsukaze Mayu had also done it, she didn't feel as guilty after she did it herself.

But that doesn't mean she's willing to discuss this with Matsukaze Mayu in person.

She is, at least for now, very uneasy.

Matsukaze Mayu's voice continued, "I've always been curious about who the man you like is, Shizuka. I didn't originally intend to investigate, because as you know, I'm not good at doing these kinds of things."

"Then how did you find out about me and... about me and him?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was too embarrassed to say Fushimi Makoto's name.

"It's Teacher Hanami." Matsukaze Mayu didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation.

"Oh..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka understood.

It turned out that the female colleague who had suddenly barged into the office that day had caused the problem.

She lowered her head in shame and murmured softly, "Actually, you didn't have to say it. If you had..."

"That way we wouldn't be so embarrassed, right?" Matsukaze Mayu also blushed.

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't speak, but her expression already confirmed it.

"But I really can't pretend I don't know about this," Matsukaze Mayu said softly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed.

She had guessed that he would say that.

The truth had been revealed, and as awkward as it was, she couldn't avoid it now. She asked in a low voice, "So what do you want to talk to me about now?"

Matsukaze Mayu's voice was still gentle. "I didn't mean anything by it. We're good friends, and we both made mistakes. Logically speaking, we should be considered... women in the same boat."

By the end, she herself became embarrassed.

Hiratsuka Shizuka pursed her lips in shame, not daring to reply.

"You know that Makoto is very popular with girls, and he's so much older than us, so I didn't expect too much. I never thought about publicizing or announcing anything; that's all for the future," Matsukaze Mayu murmured.

Hiratsuka Shizuka remained silent.

She had thought about this question too.

Coincidentally, she Matsukaze Mayu.

Their identities and ages are problematic, making it impossible for them to act openly and honestly.
