Keeping Yourself Pure

"Oh."

Motoko gave a serene smile, "What's wrong with men? They just have a stick. Why should I be afraid of them? I've already seen the light."

After saying that, she stood up, turning her back to Shuya and Tsuruko: "That's all, I have to go now."

"Wait, where are you going?"

Shuya asked.

Motoko looked up, her back view carrying a hint of tragic grandeur, as if everything had returned to nothingness. "I've realized it. So-called men and women mean nothing; everything ultimately returns to nothingness. So..."

"---I've gone to become a nun, don't look for me."

Motoko walked out with her head held high and chest out.

Shuya: "..."

Tsuruko: "..."

She touched her cheek. "Oops, did I use too much force?"

"Go after her!"

Shuya patted Tsuruko speechlessly, and the two rushed out of the room, only to see Motoko holding her hair in one hand and her knife in the other, making a clean and decisive slash.

Motoko's long hair, which she had kept for many years, was now scattered all over the ground.

Section 472, Chapter 438: Maintaining Moral Integrity

Motoko laughed ethereally, "... Having personally severed three thousand strands of worldly troubles, today, I, Motoko Aoyama, will belong to you, Puu-gu!!!"

"Motoko, stop!"

"Calm!"

Shuya and Tsuruko tackled her, one knocking her knife away and the other subduing her.

Motoko, tears streaming down her face, struggled like a caterpillar:

"Let me go! I want to become a nun! I can't take it anymore! Don't stop me! Sister and Inoue- kun are idiots! Idiots! Big idiots!"

"No, are you crazy?!"

"Motoko, let's talk about this first!"

"Waaah! Leave me alone!"

"No, no, think about it again!"

Even after her Puberty Syndrome was cured, Motoko still seemed restless (laughs).

In any case, her androphobia has been cured.

---As for wanting to become a monk or nun.

Her mind has never been quite right, so Shuya thought it was alright.

Everything is under control.

So... now only one question remains.

"Motoko, you've ruined my reputation so much, you don't think I'm going to let you off so easily, do you?"

Shuya crossed his arms and looked down at Motoko was kneeling on the ground.

Her hair was beyond saving, so she had to keep it short, but since she's pretty, there's nothing wrong with the hairstyle.

Motoko looked to Tsuruko for help, and Tsuruko was drinking tea, noticed her sister's gaze.

She smiled slightly, "How does Xiu Jun intend to punish her?"

"Hmm... let me think."

Shuya casually remarked, "So, for now, how about you work as a maid at my house and serve me?"

"Ara ara."

Tsuruko covered her mouth, looking at Shuya and Motoko with an ambiguous expression.

She had no particular feelings about it; she neither intended to help nor stop the relationship between Shuya and Motoko.

We simply let them develop as they pleased.

"I don't"

"Protest denied! Come over here whenever you're free after school. That's all."

"Well then, Tsuruko, I'll head back now."

Shuya didn't ask for Motoko's opinion from the beginning; instead, he announced his decision.

"Wait"

"Take care, Xiu Jun."

Tsuruko ignored Motoko, who wanted to speak, Shuya.

"Okay, I'll come see you again next time, or you can come over to visit."

Shuya turned and left, flying away as soon as he stepped outside.

He went home, changed into his school uniform, and strolled leisurely to school. The bell hadn't rung yet, so he wasn't late.

"Shu-chan!"

Yuigahama jogged over, bent down Shuya's ear, "Everyone's gender has changed back, but they seem to have no memories?"

The scent of perfume wafted over; it was quite strong.

"Oh, is that so? This isn't important, is it?"

Shuya said casually, "You can remember the events without any special powers, which means only those who knew about them beforehand can retain the memory? I guess."

"But it's better for them to have no memory of it."

That way, his dark past won't be known to anyone.

"Putting all that aside, Yukino- chan and the others seem to be angry?"

Shuya brought up another matter.

"Oh? Yeah, after all, given your attitude before, it's no wonder they were angry. Haha."

"But your attitude doesn't seem to have changed?"

Shuya the Way.

Yuigahama chuckled, "It's okay, your attitude is better than Yumiko's."

"Oh, don't tell anyone what you just said."

She leaned even closer as she spoke, her lips almost touching her ear.

Moreover, her collar was unbuttoned and open, and Shuya's eyes caught a glimpse of that deep area.

"I'm not that bored. By the way, you seemed to have mentioned happiness before."

"Ahem! Okay, class is about to start! I'm going back to my seat!"

Yuigahama hurriedly fled back.

Shuya shrugged.

He still didn't think Yuigahama really liked him.

Or rather, that kind of liking isn't love; it contains longing and fantasy.

Yuigahama herself may not even know how she feels.

But Shuya felt that it was just fans' affection for their idols.

Shuya decided not to bring up the topic with her again.

"Hello."

"What?"

The Golden Hair, who had been playing on his phone, suddenly called out to him, Shuya turned his head to look.

The Golden Hair glared at her and said, "You're not planning to play with Yui's feelings, are you?"

What are you talking about?

Shuya frowned. What nonsense about playing around... Is he really that kind of person?

It's as if he's a womanizer. His current girlfriends are only Haruno and Tsuruko, and his casual sex partners are none other Tamamo-no-Mae and her gang.

Look how pure he is.

Given his status and appearance, it is truly remarkable that he can maintain such a clean and virtuous character.

The Golden Hair said in a gruff voice, "Anyway, you'd better know your place."

"..."

Shuya was speechless.

It's rare to see someone dare to speak to him like that.

He found it quite amusing, so he didn't bother getting angry with her and decided to just ignore her.

"..."

The Yellow Hair between Shuya and the Golden Hair gave an awkward smile.

After sitting for a short while, Shizuka Hiratsuka came in to start a class meeting.

As soon as she walked in, she retorted to Shuya, "Oh, isn't this the Ming Dynasty who's transferring schools? What are you doing here at school?"

Shuya said nonchalantly, "Oh, you mean this? I thought about it later, even if I go to Mai- chan's school, I can only see her for a year, right? But here I can see Yukino- chan for two years. No matter how you look at it, staying here is more worthwhile, don't you think?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded. "I understand. I'll go tell Sakurajima Mai later that you said Yukinoshita is better than her."

Shuya spat out. "Damn it, you're causing trouble again!"

"Hahaha!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka, looking as if she had finally gotten her revenge.

She finished explaining the class meeting details in a cheerful mood and then left the classroom.

Shuya was pondering a solution with a grim expression, but less than a minute later he received a LINE message.

Mai: "..."

Mai: "Shuya, do you prefer women with smaller breasts?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka, you Gorilla move so fast...

Shuya was speechless.

Fortunately, Mai didn't seem to care much.

His words were brimming with confidence.

Shuya: "As expected of Mai- chan, I love your confidence."

A few seconds later, Mai replied, "Don't talk to me, I'm still angry, hmph."

Shuya then tentatively sent another message, but she ignored it all.

Shuya then stopped looking for her.

Several more minutes passed.

Mai: "You're really not going to contact me anymore?"

Shuya: "..."

So the two started chatting during class.

Mai replied to the message very slowly; she must have done so during a break in class.

Shuya was surfing the internet and replying to messages, quite leisurely.
