415. Asato Is About to Join the Fray

"Yes, I had a deep conversation with Shuko. Her world is similar to ours. I'd venture to guess that it's a parallel world."

"But in our eyes, you are Shuko."

Yukio interrupted Shuya.

"I don't care what you think, I care what I think."

Shuya replied, leaving Yukio stunned by the retort.

He usually holds back a bit because Yukino is cute, but he goes all out when facing Yukio.

Shuya's expression became even more irritating.

His mind was entirely focused on finding a solution, and he didn't consider that when Yukio turned back into Yukino, she would likely retain her memories and become unhappy again.

Shuya asked, "Motoko, were you saying that Suya also underwent hellish training?"

"Right."

Motoko nodded.

Shuya said with considerable confidence, "This Puberty Syndrome was probably caused by you guys."

"Puberty Syndrome is often caused by stress, and you fit that Motoko. You've always been afraid of Tsuruko, and your androphobia must have put a lot of pressure on you."

"I heard from Shuko that Suya is in the same situation. You two have similar experiences, and I suspect that for some unknown reason, your messages have been connected across time and space."

"You want to overcome your fear of men, he wants to overcome his fear of women. Under the pressure from Tsuruko /Ming, your stress finally explodes. Two feelings that should never have come together miraculously converge through Puberty Syndrome, turning the impossible into reality."

"You are the center of this global Puberty Syndrome."

Shuya finished speaking, the people present understood what he said, but they couldn't quite accept it.

Yukio asked doubtfully, "Excuse my bluntness, but let's assume you're not lying to us. However, your current speculation is completely unfounded, and without evidence, it's hard for us to believe you."

"Hmm... I agree... I think."

Yuigahama agreed with Yukio, Seya scratched his face, clearly agreeing with Yukio as well.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

But Shuya seemed very troubled.

He looked at the three of them as if they were fools.

Whether you believe me or not is none of my business. I didn't ask you for help.

Shuya rolled his eyes. "This is a matter between me and Motoko. You guys are just here to listen in, okay? I've never asked for your opinions. What you think is none of my business!"

Are you stupid?

He looked at Yukio with a mocking expression.

Yukio: "..."

Veins bulged on his forehead; he desperately wanted to punch someone.

"If only I could beat them..." Yukio comforted himself.

Seya laughed, "Don't say that, Shuko. You said it yourself, this is a global Puberty Syndrome. Since we've been affected, we're involved. So, it's reasonable for Yukio- senpai to offer his opinion."

"..."

Shuya was taken aback for a moment. "What you said makes sense."

He patted Seya's head.

Seya's expression brightened.

"In that case, please answer my question."

Yukio Road.

"There's nothing to answer; I really have no evidence."

After Shuya speaking, Shuya nudged Motoko: "But this guy is the source, I believe that's already quite clear. My speculations were just attempts to explain the principle, they don't really affect anything."

Even if I'm wrong, it won't affect my goal of helping Motoko overcome Puberty Syndrome.

"... That's true."

Yukio had to admit that Shuya was right.

The current problem is how to cure Motoko.

As for what Shuya said, he felt that whether it was true or false, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

"Does Shushu-chan have a solution?"

The most central question was raised by Yuigahama.

"I've been thinking about it."

Shuya didn't care about the authenticity.

"Inoue- kun... I'm counting on you! You're all I have left!"

Motoko's eyes were brimming with tears.

"Your attitude has changed so quickly... I can help you solve your problem, but how are you going to repay me after you turn back into a girl?"

Shuya crossed his arms and asked with great interest.

"Repay?"

Motoko remained silent for a moment, then swiftly retreated to the wall, crossed her arms, and exclaimed, "I knew Inoue- kun had always had daring ideas about me! He's disgusting, a pervert! It's unbearable!"

"I considered you a friend, and you actually... actually..."

To be honest, Shuya felt like throwing up looking at his blushing face; the female version was much more pleasing to the eye.

"Look at you, I just wanted to help you overcome your fear of men."

Shuya the Way.

"Forget it, we can talk about the reward later. The priority now is to resolve your Puberty Syndrome."

"In my opinion, your biggest problem is that you're afraid of Tsuruko. And the reason you're afraid of her is because your swordsmanship hasn't improved enough to meet her expectations. In other words, once you improve your swordsmanship to a level that satisfies her, you won't feel any pressure anymore."

Shuya said, "By the way, have you mastered the Demon-Slaying Sword, Second Blade? Once you learn that, I think Tsuruko won't pressure you anymore."

"Completely clueless!"

Motoko answered immediately, head held high and chest out.

"... I think so too. If you understood that, you wouldn't be under so much pressure. Then we'll have to find another solution."

Shuya crossed his arms and said, "If it can solve your fear of men, it will also help relieve stress, right?"

"It's a pity I'm in a woman's body now, so I can't help you at all. Hmm, but that's okay, we'll rely on other people then. Anyway, there's no shortage of handsome guys in this gender-swapped world."

Shuya stared at Yukio, Yuigahama, and Seya, and said:

"You three come and help. Go and hug him first."

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, Motoko immediately collapsed to the ground and began to gag.

"I refuse. I have no interest in that kind of thing."

Yukio refused without hesitation.

"I... I don't want to either..."

"Shuko, this is putting us in a very difficult position."

Yuigahama and Seya took a step back.

"Tsk, it's really useless."

Shuya sat helplessly in the chair, crossed his legs, and thought of other methods.

He thought for a while but still couldn't come up with a solution, Motoko shrugged and said, "I'm really out of ideas. It seems I'll have to wait until you turn back into a girl before I can help you with your androphobia."

"How... how can you help me?"

"I'll fuck you a few more times until you get used to it."

Shuya's face hardened.

"You're kidding, right?! Tell me you're kidding!"

Motoko was shocked.

"Yes."

Motoko breathed a sigh of relief, then heard Shuya say, "Probably about 10% of it was a joke."

"Aren't you being incredibly serious?!"

Motoko covered her head and rolled around on the ground.

"I was just saying, and won't you resist? If I actually forced you, I'd probably get my head smashed by Tsuruko."

Shuya impatiently stopped Motoko.

"I figured doing nothing now wouldn't solve anything, so I'll help you train and improve your swordsmanship first! What if you suddenly learn the Demon-Slaying Sword, Second Blade?"

Shuya kicked Motoko again. "You idiot, you're staying at my house from now on! I'll give you special training. Now go back and get your clothes and weapons. You have one hour. If you're not back by then, I'll tell Tsuruko... Hurry up and go!"

Shuya pushed and shoved Motoko out of the house, forcing her to go back and pack her things.

"Phew... this idiot is such a worry."

Shuya wiped his sweat and returned to the living room. Seeing the three boys still there, he said irritably, "How long do you plan to stay? Can't you see I'm busy? I don't have time to entertain you. You can go home."

"Ayase, you too. I haven't had time to teach you lately. Go back and practice on your own."

Shuya finished speaking, he gestured for them to leave.

"Wait a minute, does that mean you're going to live with Suya?"

Yukio's tone was a bit harsh.

"Living together, living together...!"

Yuigahama avoided eye contact.

"Senior Shuko! I think this is extremely inappropriate!"

Seya's tone was also very excited.

"The way you all sound jealous disgusts me."

Shuya got goosebumps all over his body.

I'm not jealous.

Yukio denied it. "I'm just giving you some advice as a friend. You should love yourself more."

"I'm just trying to remind you, as a junior, to respect your senior's dignity!"

Seya also chimed in.

Yuigahama smiled foolishly and didn't say anything.

"Ugh! So annoying! You guys are so annoying!"

Shuya covered his head and groaned.

But Shuko's beauty was so striking that it made her appear both pitiful and endearing.

The three of them were momentarily stunned.

I want to stay here too.

Yukio made up his mind.
