Miss Est, You Wouldn't Want to... (5.5K) (continued)

So instead of dealing with the hassle of destroying the world, just eliminating the witnesses will suffice...

Just kidding.

How could anyone kill such a cute girl?

So, Mahiro explained the origin of Est's name in detail, without holding anything back.

Apart from matters concerning the Shadow Garden and the Order.

"So, Miss Est is an ancient artifact..."

After listening to what had happened, Sherry, who had regained her senses, breathed a sigh of relief once again.

So it turns out that Miss Est and Mr. Mahiro's relationship wasn't like that at all...

That's true. How could someone as good as a teacher do such a thing?

Recalling the content of the notebook she had just come up with, Sherry's face flushed red again.

I am so ashamed!

However, although she was Mahiro confused by what Mahiro said, she did not have any doubts.

After all, the more this is the case, the more it proves that Mahiro said is true.

Because ancient artifacts are such unknown entities, even using them requires a great deal of time to study, let alone their form and origin, which are simply impossible to trace.

Even ancient artifacts with human-like features are not unacceptable.

"Then Sherry, you'd better keep our secret for me, okay?" Mahiro winked mischievously.

"A secret between two people..."

Mahiro and I have a secret that belongs only to us...

Sherry lowered her head shyly, her fingertips tracing the crevice between her thighs again, and replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:

"Um... um, don't worry, Mahiro- sensei, I will definitely keep your secret."

So cute!

Despite being known as the top strategist in the capital, he's surprisingly gullible... though what he says can hardly be called deception.

Unconsciously, his relationship with Sherry seemed to have grown closer as a result.

Sherry even offered to help him resolve Est's identity issue within the academy.

For her, this matter was easy to resolve, after all, the vice dean was her adoptive father.

After speaking to Lutheran agreed without hesitation.

Est will remain in the class as an auditor, just like Sherry.

This was the first time he realized how useful power could be.

But aside from that, he did learn something in private: Sherry was different from the other students; she lived in the academy and had her own room to rest.

In other words, this girl actually prepared breakfast early in the morning, and then went all the way from the college to the teachers' dormitory to invite him to go to school together?

Even the most clueless person could probably see through Sherry's intentions.

Although I would absolutely never admit to that.

However, the troubles certainly don't stop there.

When Claire arrived in class with the prepared lunchbox, the first thing she noticed was Est's presence.

There's no way around it; with such a petite figure and a head of dazzling, smooth silver hair, it's hard not to notice her.

Not to mention that Est has been sticking to Mahiro's side the whole time.

Although there were no intimate gestures between the two, Claire didn't see it that way at all.

Because she remembered that when Mahiro first came to the Kagenou Family, she brought with her a silver-haired girl who looked a few years older than her.

They seem to be orcs.

So, could this child be that orc's sister or something?

No, that doesn't seem right!

Because there were absolutely no orcish markings on his body, no animal ears, no animal tails, nothing at all!

Could it be... that she's the daughter of that orc?!

Because they only inherited the human aspects, they lack the characteristics of orcs?!

He really is a bastard, a sadistic, and perverted teacher!

If Mahiro knew what Claire was thinking right now, he'd probably vomit blood on the spot, and maybe even compliment her on her vivid imagination.

You have to understand that when he brought Snow Woman to the Kagenou Family, Snow Woman was only fourteen or fifteen years old. How could she possibly have a daughter this big?

Even if Est looks very young, she must be over ten years old!

Could it be that the Snow Woman could give birth when she was only one or two years old?!

But Claire was quite stubborn in some ways, didn't care about any of that and directly pulled Mahiro, who was greeting Rose, out of the classroom.

"Come with me for a moment!"

Seeing Mahiro walk away, Est instinctively wanted to follow, but she was surrounded by the girls in her class and couldn't get away at all.

Because Mahiro had previously instructed her not to harm her classmates, she could only watch helplessly as Mahiro was taken away.

"Waaah... I'm angry."

A hint of resentment gradually appeared on Est's delicate and youthful face.

"You sadistic teacher, don't you want to explain? Who is that girl?!"

Claire took him to the rooftop and went straight to the point.

"Claire, this doesn't sound like you're talking to a teacher, does it?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"

For the first time in a long time, Claire adopted a tough stance, her scarlet eyes flashing with magical light as she lost control of her emotions.

Seeing this, Mahiro became too lazy to argue anymore and shrugged, saying:

"Alright, alright, that child's name is Est, she's my distant cousin."

"Nonsense!"

Claire immediately retorted, "That child isn't your cousin at all, is she?"

"I'm curious how you came to that conclusion."

"Because I smelled a lie!"

"Ha... are you a dog?"

"It's a girl's intuition!"

His words caused Claire's face to flush slightly, but she still stared at him with a rather frightening look.

"And you bastard teacher, you have relatives or something? I've never heard of that."

In fact, not only that, she didn't even know where Mahiro was from or who her family was.

All she knew was that this was her tutor, a very capable but also sadistic and perverse teacher with a twisted sense of humor.

"Isn't it because you, Claire, have never wanted to know these things? Even I have a family, you know."

Mahiro's casual words were like a sharp arrow piercing straight into Claire's heart, causing her to tremble slightly.

That's absolutely true.

Claire never bothered to find out who Mahiro's family was, where they were, or how they were doing.

Mahiro's strength and his calm demeanor no matter what happened made her subconsciously overlook these things.

Or rather, because of the teachings she received over the past three years, she instinctively Mahiro as one of her own family members.

"... It's not my fault, and you never say these things," Claire muttered stubbornly.

But Mahiro smiled slightly and said:

"Isn't that what I'm saying now? Est is my distant cousin."

"Okay, let's just say that's how it is!"

Claire seemed somewhat resigned to her fate.

But the next second, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and grabbed his collar, forcing him to bend over.

If it were anyone else, this action would probably be interpreted as an attempt to force a kiss on Mahiro, but for Claire, who is quite naive in some ways, this is not an option.

She glared at him fiercely with those eyes, looking strangely like a thug extorting money.

"... Have lunch with me! I've prepared a bento box especially for you!"

Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."

Claire, you didn't have to say those things so emotionally.

She looked rather cute, even though she seemed a little shy.

However, this style is exactly the Claire he knows.

"Okay, okay, I'll have lunch with you."

"Then... don't forget, it'll be right here at noon today."

"Yes, I won't forget, don't worry."

Mahiro smiled to reassure Claire.

However, despite saying that, Claire still turned back to remind him almost every few steps, as if afraid he would forget.

However, by noon...

Claire rushed to the rooftop as soon as class ended, even preparing a tablecloth and other items, intending to have a meal with Mahiro on the rooftop.

But what they got was not the person Mahiro.

She could understand having Est, her "cousin," by her side, since Esther needed Mahiro's care.

But the problem is--

Why did you all come along?!

That's right, besides Est, Mahiro was also accompanied by Sherry and Rose.

Just being questioned like that, especially being glared at by those red eyes, Sherry was so frightened that she hid behind Mahiro.

Kagano, you're really scary...

But Rose stepped forward, comforting Sherry while retorting to Claire:

"Kagano, I understand what you're thinking, but I won't allow you to have Yotsuba Clan- sensei all to yourself!"

As someone who also loves Yotsuba Mahiro, how could she not understand Claire's thoughts?

There's absolutely no way we'd give them a chance to escape!

Upon hearing Rose's words, Claire couldn't help but click her tongue softly.

"Alright, since we're all classmates, there's no need to make things so awkward. Let's sit down and eat together."

Mahiro the initiative to invite Sherry and Rose, acting like a host.

However, Claire didn't say anything, only muttered a quiet complaint.

"I didn't prepare any extra food for them."

"It's alright, I'll take care of it."

Snap!

Mahiro snapped his fingers, and the previously empty tablecloth was suddenly piled high with food.

This move completely astonished the three of them.

"Food appeared out of thin air?"
