Best Friends for Life

"Why are you telling me all this?" Her expression held an indescribable subtlety.

"Because you are trustworthy." Fushimi Makoto quoted a classic line from a movie.

She said in a calm tone, "What should I call you from now on? Superpowered? Superman?"

"Auntie can call me whatever she likes."

Hearing this, her expression seemed to soften somewhat.

Fushimi Makoto suddenly said, "Sayuri is getting anxious waiting for you. She's hesitating whether to call you."

Mrs. Yukinoshita's face darkened. "You're not allowed to use this ability to spy!"

"... What are you thinking? I have no interest in such boring things, and I don't need to do them at all." Fushimi Makoto shook his head with amusement.

Mrs. Yukinoshita casually tapped him.

Because you can't think too much about what he just said.

If you think about it carefully, you'll find a lot of information that's not suitable for children.

For example, his statement that "there's absolutely no need to do that" is because a certain aunt is very good at stealing... taking shortcuts.

"I'll probably need to soak in the hot springs a bit longer today, otherwise I won't be able to calm down." Mrs. Yukinoshita glanced at the shrunken Fushimi Makoto.

For some reason, she suddenly wanted to shine the flashlight on him again, hoping he would grow to the size of a fist, so she could treat him like a toy and maybe that would make her feel better.

"If you want, I can accept continuing to shrink," Fushimi Makoto Fushimi Makoto said.

Mrs. Yukinoshita exclaimed in surprise, "You can read minds?"

"No, I just noticed the change in your mood."

"Don't pry into other people's minds!"

"Clear."

Mrs. Yukinoshita turned away, leaving him with a graceful silhouette. "I need to relax a bit."

"I can help," someone behind me said.

Her expression froze slightly, but her eyes flickered. "How can I help?"

"I guess it's a massage that relaxes your mind and body? That description should be accurate, right?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't give a direct answer, but instead said seemingly casually, "I'll send a message to Sayuri first, then I won't be going to the hot spring with them."

After saying that, she turned around.

Clearly, she's going to pay to have a separate pool.

Fushimi Makoto did not move.

Because he knew the other person definitely had more to say to him.

Sure enough, she had only walked less than three meters when she turned around and said, "Go get the flashlight. I don't want to see you go back to normal anytime soon."

Originally, she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to be alone with Hiratsuka Shizuka and find out more about their situation.

But now, she has changed her mind.

Chapter 410 Best Friends for Life

At 10 p. m. that night, Fushimi Makoto was called to their room by Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The three of them were playing Monopoly around the kotatsu (heated table).

Of course, playing chess was just something to pass the time; what they really cared about was whether Fushimi Makoto. Mrs. Yukinoshita.

"Don't worry, that matter is temporarily over," Fushimi Makoto replied calmly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka and Matsukaze Mayu were both stunned for a moment, forgetting even the steps to roll the dice and continue the game.

Finally, Hiratsuka Shizuka was the first to react. "You... you didn't confront her about it, did you?"

She was so nervous that she started to stutter.

This is a very rare occurrence.

"That's one way to put it, but we haven't discussed it that thoroughly." Fushimi Makoto picked up the dice and handed them to the other person.

Hiratsuka Shizuka absentmindedly threw the dice, muttering, "So, you not only laid your cards on the table, but you even convinced Ms. Yukinoshita?"

Matsukaze Mayu had been silent until now, whispered, "Makoto, you've definitely taken all the blame, haven't you?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was taken aback, a wave of shame and embarrassment washing over her. "Yes, if it were you, you would definitely do the same."

"It was my fault for causing this, so isn't it normal for me to take responsibility?" Fushimi Makoto Seiji said jokingly, seeing the tense atmosphere.

Matsukaze Mayu shook her head vigorously. "We also bear responsibility."

"Yes, we also bear some responsibility," Hiratsuka Shizuka repeated.

"But the matter is now resolved... well, at least temporarily, so you can all rest assured," Fushimi Makoto reassured him.

The two beautiful teachers remained silent for a while, until finally Matsukaze Mayu raised her head, her eyes seemingly brimming with tears. "Why don't you stay here tonight instead of going back?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka blushed; she had actually wanted to say the same thing.

In her impression, Mrs. Yukinoshita was no simple person, and communicating with her was definitely not an easy task.

Fushimi Makoto was willing to take all the responsibility, so he must have used some special methods.

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought for a while, and it seems that all she can do now is to serve diligently...

No, it should be that he's teaming up with Mayu again!

I might as well wear stockings and suspenders; we've already been completely honest with each other, so there's no need to be coy.

"It's still so early, aren't you guys in a bit of a rush?" Fushimi Makoto joked.

Matsukaze Mayu gave him a shy, reproachful glare, her face growing even redder.

"Are you deliberately pulling me again?" Hiratsuka Shizuka, annoyed and embarrassed.

"It wasn't a tug-of-war, I just thought your reactions were adorable."

"Isn't that the same thing?"

After the three of them joked around for a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others felt relieved and were ready to continue playing Monopoly.

After a while, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Both Hiratsuka Shizuka and Matsukaze Mayu were a little nervous.

Fushimi Makoto smiled and said, "It's Eriri Spencer Sawamura."

"Oh."

Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief; she had been quite worried that Mrs. Yukinoshita had come.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura's arrival didn't cause much of a change. She couldn't sleep in her room and didn't know what to do, so she came over for a visit.

While the four of them were happily playing chess in one room, the atmosphere in the other room was quite different.

Mrs. Yukinoshita, dressed in thick pajamas, sat elegantly in a chair, toying with the flashlight she had taken from Fushimi Makoto.

Because she was sitting in a very relaxed posture, her originally loose pajama pants were stretched taut by her good figure, creating a stunning curve behind the chair.

Sawamura Sayuri was also wearing pajamas, but she didn't feel as at ease.

There was something she cared about a lot.

"Why didn't you come to the hot springs?" she asked, her eyes clearly filled with other emotions.

"I opened a separate pool," Mrs. Yukinoshita said calmly.

"What's the reason?"

"Because I had a good talk with that guy before I went to the hot springs."

"Huh?"

Sawamura Sayuri's attention was slightly diverted, and she pressed for an answer, "Did he explain everything clearly?"

"Um."

"Don't just 'uh-huh,' tell me the details!"

"He took all the blame and admitted it."

"This wasn't unexpected; he would definitely do something like this, but..."

Sawamura Sayuri said, her expression somewhat complicated, "How could Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others do such a thing?"

"Perhaps, it's because he's not an ordinary person." Mrs. Yukinoshita recalled the abilities that Fushimi Makoto had displayed, and her chest began to rise and fall unnaturally again.

She even wondered if, if the other party were interested, could they possibly keep track of her every move?

From eating to taking a bath, and then to playing with my Purple Mood...

However, she quickly calmed down.

Although she knew that Fushimi Makoto might be capable of these things, she didn't think he would do something so pointless.

After witnessing his superpowers, I always felt uneasy.

It feels like he's spying on me... tsk, why am I even a little excited?

"An ordinary person? That's one reason."

Sawamura Sayuri, unaware of her best friend's thoughts, turned to look at the Anywhere Door placed next to the coffee table. "The Bamboo-copter, the Anywhere Door, and that obviously unusual schedule, as well as the pendant he gave us."

"And this." Mrs. Yukinoshita held up a flashlight.

Sayuri Sawamura was puzzled. "Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask since just now, why do you keep holding a flashlight? Is there something special about this thing?"

Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't explain, but instead turned on the flashlight and pointed it at her best friend.

In an instant, Sawamura Sayuri's worldview was once again shaken.

When her body shrunk to the size of an elementary school student, Mrs. Yukinoshita stopped. "My expression just now was the same as yours. He also made this thing, and from what he said, it seems like he can make it casually."

"Oh, this..."

Sawamura Sayuri seemed to choke, standing there blankly for a while before she began to examine her body.

"It's incredible that even clothes and shoes can be scaled down proportionally!"

Seeing her best friend's surprised reaction, Mrs. Yukinoshita found it amusing and was about to speak when she saw her friend pick up a small mirror and exclaim happily, "I'm so cute!"

Mrs. Yukinoshita: "..."

Forget it, I'd better not talk to her.

Distracted by the flashlight, Sawamura Sayuri became excited once again.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Yukinoshita's inattention, she picked up a flashlight and shrunk the other person as well.

However, since it was her first time using it and she wasn't very skilled, Mrs. Yukinoshita was shrunk to the size of a two- or three-year-old child.

"Pfft, hahaha, Yukinoshita, you seem cuter than me~"

"... Are you a child? Can you stop being so immature? Even if you wanted to use it on me, you should have told me beforehand."

"I'm still a kid, around fourth grade."

"... You're hopeless!"

Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at her shrunken self with a speechless expression. Although the experience was novel and exciting, the feeling of being suddenly shrunk by her best friend was really awful.

"Besides people, can this flashlight affect anything else?" Sawamura Sayuri, having learned that she would recover in thirty minutes, felt at ease and started talking about other things.

"According to Makoto, animals can also be influenced." Mrs. Yukinoshita and climbed onto a chair to sit down.

Now, not only are her arms short, but her legs are even shorter, so she has to crawl to sit on the sofa.

She herself felt ashamed of this action.

Sawamura Sayuri witnessed this scene, cupped her face in her hands, and smiled like a doting aunt, "Yukinoshita, you're so cute! How about you stay like this tonight, and I'll hold you while we sleep?"

"Get out!" Mrs. Yukinoshita was so angry that she laughed, losing her composure and elegance for once.

Sawamura Sayuri didn't mind, and cheerfully took out her phone to take pictures of herself.

She absolutely loves how she looks now.
