Chapter 354

She still seems rather uninteresting; she hasn't become a great beauty, and perhaps she still lacks presence.

Aside from being tall and very large, it has no other advantages.

For the next few hours, Haihara Lily Chou thought she would wait quietly until the end of class, but before long, she heard a rather impatient sound of a door opening.

Someone has come in; they seem to be in a hurry.

She turned her head and looked at the person who came in through the door. She saw that it was a woman wearing a white coat.

This older sister looks kind of familiar.

"Lily!"

She was a beautiful woman with long, gray-black hair that immediately struck me as "huge." Even though she was wearing a loose and convenient coat like the one worn by the Doctor in a tokusatsu series, it couldn't hide her great figure.

Haihara confused when the other person addressed her so affectionately.

The woman's beautiful face gave Haihara a sense of familiarity.

Thinking back to how that woman had addressed him earlier.

"... Kougami?"

She was stunned.

Without a doubt, the only person Haihara still remembers is her childhood friend, Kougami Kage, and in her memory, she was still going to school with Kougami Kage...

But now, this woman in front of her... so much older than her, is she really her childhood sweetheart?

Although, in my memory, her childhood sweetheart was already quite tall.

But now he's a completely remarkable adult.

Before she could react, Kougami Kage had already entered the office and couldn't help but hug Haihara, who had turned into a young girl. She looked relieved.

"Thank goodness you're alright. I was so scared when I couldn't find you anywhere..."

To be honest, Kougami Kage's sudden hug startled her.

Doctor Hong Shang's voluptuous figure, befitting an adult, made Lily Chou dizzy and lightheaded, and for a moment she felt her body temperature rise as if she had a fever.

They... did they really become so close as adults that they could hug each other so warmly?

A hint of confusion appeared in Lily Chou's bewildered eyes.

However, her tense body relaxed a little as a result.

Although the jarring feeling of her childhood friend suddenly becoming an adult made Haihara unable to distinguish between dream and reality, the appearance of familiar faces finally eased Lily Chou- Chou's anxiety caused by everything unfamiliar.

And so, Kougami, the first in the adult group, successfully arrived.

After some time, Kougami Kage slowly talked to Haihara, gradually helping them to dispel the various... unbelievable feelings brought about by Haihara becoming a girl.

"Um, Kougami, is it really okay for me to sit on your lap like this?"

Haihara Lily Chou sat on her childhood friend's long, soft lap with extreme restraint.

The woman then wrapped her arms around Lily Chou's waist from behind.

Kougami Kage's expression now looks somewhat dangerous.

Specifically, he seems somewhat like a potential criminal.

However, she managed to suppress some of her excitement; she covered her nose, trying to contain it, and continued talking to Lily Chou:

"It's okay, Lily."

"Don't worry too much right now. I'll find a way to solve your problem soon. In the meantime, I'll take good care of you and stay by your side at all times."

At first, Kougami Kage was filled with worry about his girlfriend's disappearance.

But after confirming that Lily was safe and sound, she was now filled with excitement about the situation. It could be said that this excitement completely prevented her from thinking normally, and she put all her concerns aside.

Haihara Lily Chou felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

However, she also learned something from this.

More than a decade later, she and Kougami Kage still seem to be very good friends, even better than she remembered.

After all, Kougami Kage wouldn't have offered her his lap like that before.

Hmm...

That's a perfect opportunity. Should she ask Kougami what happened between them after they grew up?

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed Kougami Kage's hand around her waist.

If she remembered correctly, she had given Kougami a toy ring when they were children.

The other person has worn it on their wrist since they were a child.

This is because of a childhood prank they made about getting married.

But now, that ring is gone.

Instead, a more beautiful ring, one that fits Kougami's finger better, is worn on the finger that symbolizes their engagement.

"..."

Haihara Lily Chou was silent for a moment, then her gaze suddenly turned somewhat lost.

"Kougami."

"Um?"

Kougami Kage was still looking like she was about to die of happiness, completely unaware that Haihara Lily Chou's tone was a little off.

Are you already engaged?

She asked.

At this moment, the joy in Kougami Kage's tone deepened.

"Yes, and it's been like this for a while now."

Then she heard the girl say:

"Oh, that's wonderful."

Under Kougami Kage's bewildered gaze, Lily Chou got off Kougami Kage's lap. She didn't turn around and continued to face away from Kougami Kage.

After a while, seemingly realizing she was still being too childish, Lily Chou added:

"I should be quite happy for you, shouldn't I...?"

She walked to the side and hugged the old schoolbag that she didn't know where it came from. It was very similar to the schoolbag that Kougami Kage remembered Lily carrying when she was a child, but there were some differences in the details.

The girl stood there, clutching the only schoolbag that remained with her in the past.

"Of course, Lily ... uh, wait a minute."

Halfway through her sentence, Kougami Kage suddenly felt that something was wrong. Even someone as oblivious as her finally realized that she seemed to have overlooked a very serious matter.

Just as she was about to explain, coincidentally, another person walked in from outside the office door.

Their eyes were immediately drawn to the woman who had entered.

Compared to Kougami Kage's unkempt style, that woman exuded a refined and dignified air. She was dressed in a well-fitting Formal Attire that perfectly complemented her elegant and beautiful appearance, and her tall and graceful figure made her look radiant and generous.

This woman with a beauty mark under her eye is not quite a celebrity; she's more like a fairy from a fairy tale.

The moment she saw Haihara Lily Chou, she smiled:

"Hmm? Lily, you really have turned back into how you were when you were little."

This unfamiliar older sister seemed to know Lily Chou as an adult.

Lily Chou's confusion, which had just been calmed down, intensified once again.

The woman quickly glanced at Kougami again, narrowing her eyes:

"Oh dear, who is this strange auntie? I don't remember having a teacher like that at our school."

After this woman entered, Lily Chou sensed that an invisible atmosphere began to form in the office.

Kougami Kage, whom she had always remembered as gentle and reserved, now showed a face that was quite unfamiliar to her.

Kougami Kage reverted to his usual demeanor as a "Doctor," displaying a calm and indifferent expression.

"It's very impolite to suddenly barge in, so I'll take my child home now."

As she spoke, she stood up and naturally took the hand of the young girl, Lily.

All of this was observed by the new woman who entered— Haihara Ryo.

For some reason, Haihara felt a strange mix of familiarity and unease towards this unfamiliar woman with a beauty mark under her eye.

"May I ask who you are?"

Seeing Lily Chou's current appearance, Haihara Ryo appeared quite reliable and mature. She smiled and spoke to Haihara in a gentle tone:

"I am the principal of this school, but that's not important. What's important is that, although you've forgotten, you are very important to me."

"If you feel anxious and don't know where to go, you can come to your sister's. It's okay if you can't remember anything; I'll always take good care of you."

Although the other person seemed to be speaking to Haihara after she lost her memory.

But every sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Generally speaking, if a strange aunt like this suddenly tells someone she wants to go home, it would make people wary.

But can anyone really resist the temptation of a strange older woman suddenly saying that to them?

Childhood Haihara clearly didn't have such strong resistance.

She glanced at Kougami Kage's G, then at the principal's F, and was momentarily caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Kougami Kage stepped in front of Haihara, crossed his arms, and scrutinized this seemingly wicked woman with malicious intentions:

"I'm sorry, Lily doesn't know you right now, so let's talk about it later."

In response, Haihara Ryo walked step by step to Lily Chou's side, and then took Lily Chou's other hand, using his adult advantage to make Lily Chou feel a warm and soft sensation that made her mind go blank.

She smiled gently and calmly.

"Lily, do I look like some kind of bad person?"

In an instant, the atmosphere between the two women became incredibly tense.

There was no arguing or pulling, but just standing there, silently staring at each other, the atmosphere in the office grew increasingly tense and rigid.

The hands of the clock ticked away.

Time passed by, second by second.

Haihara Lily Chou Haibara never imagined that two women would fight over her.

Yes.

She felt that two was enough.

But when a young woman walked in with a slow, graceful gait, the tense atmosphere finally eased and began to move in a different direction.

Am I too late? I hope I haven't missed anything.

A silver-haired girl with a low ponytail smiled as she looked at the two adults and one girl in the office.

Lily Chou- Chou was taken aback.

Besides?

Behind the silver-haired, doll-like girl, the girls Haihara had first encountered also walked in.

Looks like get out of class just ended.

Kirishima Ai, Sakaki Chika, Takanashi were all lost in thought when they saw the Hell Scroll in the office.

"Should we... join in too?"

Kuroki Yuka asked tentatively.

"Don't go, they all know Crown Rank Magic."

Takanashi shook his head.

"Then... are we just going to stand by and watch them take Teacher Haihara away?"

Sakaki Chika was so anxious that she stopped stuttering.
