Kirino Goes Home

Yukino nodded indifferently.

Shuya scratched his head. "I'll stay too. I need to keep an eye on Kirino and check on her condition."

"Alright."

Yukino didn't argue, changed into her school uniform, and went to school.

Only Shuya, Ayase, and the sleeping Kirino remained at Yukino's house.

Ayase didn't stay in the living room; she went into the room to look at Kirino.

With nothing Shuya to do, Shu lay down on Yukino's bed and went to sleep.

I slept until noon.

Kirino was still asleep when he got out of bed.

Shuya went to the next room and saw that Ayase was still inside watching Kirino.

He yawned. "Is Kirino making any noise?"

"No. She's sleeping soundly. Look, that blissful sleeping posture is so adorable!"

Ayase's smile gradually turned into that of a nymphomaniac.

"... I feel it's dangerous for Kirino to have you here."

Shuya went over, grabbed her by the collar, and dragged her out.

"No! I want to stay here and take care of Kirino!"

Ayase rebelled like never before.

You think you're taking care of her? You're just lusting after her body, you're despicable!

Shuya lazily patted her head. "Sweetie, I'm hungry. I'll cook for your favorite senior."

"Shuya- senpai, isn't this your real purpose?"

Ayase's lips twitched.

"Yes."

Shuya released her back into the wild in the kitchen.

Ayase muttered, "Seriously, senpai, you could have just told me properly. Did you have to drag me all the way here?"

"The rest is up to you."

Shuya waved his hand and rolled away.

Ayase opened the refrigerator to check what ingredients were available. Fortunately, Yukino had bought extra ingredients because Shuya and Kirino were there, so there were still vegetables and meat.

Seeing that Shuya Ayase to be in a hurry, Ayase decided not to cook rice but instead made noodles for him.

After stir-frying some vegetables and making noodles, Ayase carried out a meal for two.

Seeing that it was already noon, she cooked her own portion and ate it with everyone.

"Senior, I've finished cooking."

Ayase called out, Shuya came over.

The two started eating.

"By the way, Ayase- chan," Shuya, eating the noodles Ayase was eating, "Have you noticed any changes in Kirino- chan?"

What changes?

"What? You didn't notice?"

Shuya chuckled mischievously, "Looks like you've been too busy looking at Kirino, huh? Hehehe."

"Shuya- senpai!"

Ayase a coquettish laugh.

When she started to act coquettishly, Shuya felt embarrassed to tease her anymore.

"Kirino- chan's Puberty Syndrome is turning into an adult, and now that she's turned back..."

Shuya explained Kirino's transformation to Ayase.

"So, Kirino can practice martial arts after this?"

Ayase asked.

"Yes, but it also depends on her personal wishes; forcing her is pointless."

Shuya felt that Kirino could become a powerful warrior and could become his help once she grew up... but that's about it.

One more person in his force wouldn't make a difference, and if she didn't want to be a martial artist, he wouldn't force her to practice.

Practicing martial arts requires a lot of initiative; you can't become a strong person if you're forced into it.

Unlike Kirino Ayase n't need to practice martial arts to suppress her strange constitution; she can practice whenever she wants, or it's fine if she doesn't.

But Ayase didn't seem to think that way. She excitedly asked, "Kirino has a talent for martial arts? Does that mean I can train with her from now on?"

So, are you still planning to engage in some kind of romantic flirting with her?

Oops, this joke is showing my age.

Shuya said, "Let's see what Kirino wakes up. Don't force her."

"Of course I know."

Ayase gave Shuya a disapproving look.

You've been getting increasingly rude to me lately.

Shuya shook his head. She used to be so well-behaved.

Ayase blushed and muttered, "It's all Shuya- senpai's fault."

"???"

Shuya wondered if he could be blamed for this?

And you like Kirino and you like me too... No wonder you're my junior and half-disciple.

They're all dd!

Ayase had no idea what Shuya thinking, but his comical gaze was obvious.

She focused intently on eating her noodles.

After lunch, Ayase washed the dishes and went back to her room to see Kirino, Shuya read a novel to pass the time.

By the time Kirino woke up, it was already past 5 PM, Yukino had already returned.

As Kirino opened her eyes, she saw Ayase's delighted face.

"Kirino! You're finally awake! Are you alright?"

"Ayase, Ayase?!"

Kirino was bewildered as she was held tightly in a hug. A look of panic crossed her eyes as she wondered if Ayase had found out about her interest.

"Don't worry, I've hidden those things for you, and I've also changed what I told her."

Shuya transmitted his voice to the other party.

Kirino calmed down and patted Ayase to reassure her.

"I'm fine, Ayase is worrying too much."

"Kirino, why didn't you contact me when something so serious happened to you?"

Ayase somewhat dissatisfied and aggrieved.

"I... I was so flustered I didn't remember."

Kirino very guilty.

Shuya recalled her ecstatic reaction to playing games and muttered to himself, "Yes, she was really flustered."

"Kirino... so pitiful."

Ayase believed them and hugged Kirino tightly.

Kirino was incredibly embarrassed, but she still hugged him back.

Yukino couldn't bear to watch and turned back to the living room to do her homework.

"Come out, have something to eat."

Shuya called out and went out.

Kirino's stomach rumbled when he mentioned food.

Ayase smiled gently, Kirino got up shyly.

Ayase reached out to help her out, but Kirino said she didn't need help. However, under Ayase's insistence, she could only accept her excessive kindness.

It wasn't dinnertime yet, but Yukino bought some bread on her way back in case Kirino suddenly woke up.

This came in handy just in time.

Kirino, feeling much better and with her appetite back, began to devour the bun without a care for decorum.

Ayase sat beside her, occasionally urging her not to rush.

"Kirino- chan, I have something to tell you."

Shuya didn't wait for her to finish eating before speaking.

"?"

Kirino looked puzzled, but her mouth was full of food so she didn't speak.

"You've turned misfortune into a blessing, now possessing a physique suitable for martial arts. How about it, young lady? Would you like to learn martial arts?"

"!"

Kirino opened her eyes wide and nodded frantically.

After swallowing the bread, she slammed her hand on the table. "Senior! I want to learn martial arts! I want to be Superman!"

"Martial artists cannot be called superhumans."

Shuya thought her reaction was a bit exaggerated, "Are you really that eager to learn martial arts? I've never heard you mention it before?"

"You didn't have any talent before, did you?"

The reason Kirino knew she had no talent is quite simple.

The Earth Federation is full of martial arts schools, and parents often send their children there to exercise. If they have talent, they will actually learn martial arts.

Martial artists are rare talents, and no one would refuse such an opportunity.

Kirino thus realized early on that she had no talent.

Chapter 492, Section 457 Kirino Home

Kirino exclaimed excitedly, "After this incident, I understand even more the disadvantages of being powerless! I'm going to learn martial arts, so that even if I can't win a fight, at least I can run away!"

"Well, sometimes even martial artists can't escape when they encounter danger."

Shuya didn't hide anything. "Motoko is strong enough, but she's also suffering from Puberty Syndrome. Don't think of martial artists as all-powerful."

But it's better than having no power at all.

Kirino said.

Shuya nodded. "It's good that you've decided. Since you've decided, you can start learning the basics from Ayase tomorrow."

"Leave it to me, Kirino!"

Ayase puffed out her chest and said excitedly, "It's so great! Being able to practice with Kirino is like a dream come true."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Ayase."

Kirino smiled at Ayase.
