The Feast of the Flame Suddenly Begins

Just like when she used the name Koyomi Himgari at the Lion King Agency, it wasn't her real name either.

"You've come at the perfect time. Could you please help me smell what it smells like?" She put her finger to the girl's nose and asked calmly.

The girl sniffed, a half-smile playing on her pretty face, and whispered a teasing remark in her ear:

"Could it be... that you, Scarlet Rice, were secretly seeing someone in the library..."

Even the usually serene and gentle Koyomi Himgari understood what her friend was saying, and the blush that hadn't faded from her pretty face instantly intensified. She quickly wiped her fingers with a handkerchief.

At the same time, I felt a little regretful.

It was something so simple, why didn't I guess it?

And I was so stupid to ask my classmate that question; it was incredibly embarrassing.

No wonder they used a barrier; they were afraid of being seen!

However, this is not good news for her, or rather for the Lion King Agency.

Since Aya Sengakuji and Yotsuba Mahiro's relationship has progressed further, it may mean that the Librarian Witch will completely side with Yotsuba Mahiro.

If the Librarian Witch has already fallen, will the Gap Witch be far behind?

She forced herself to suppress the panic welling up inside her and hurriedly fled the library, intending to return to the Lion King Agency to discuss the matter with the others.

"Oh my, shy Scarlet Rice is so cute. Speaking of which, which couple would do that in the library? They're so bold!"

Chapter 353 The Sudden Unfolding Feast of the Flame (5K)

Yotsuba Mahiro, who left the library with Aye, was unaware of everything that happened after he left.

If I knew, I'd probably laugh for a whole year.

This kind of operation is something I've never seen before in my entire life.

At this moment, he had already settled Aye in the apartment and, using his understanding of spatial magic, temporarily rendered the bracelet ineffective.

He himself went back to school to pick up Yuuma Sengakuji from school.

After all, no matter how sensible Yuuma Sengakuji is, she would definitely feel sad and upset after being hurt like this by her mother, Aye.

As a father, his natural instinct is to comfort his injured daughter.

"Yuuma Sengakuji, are you sure you only want this?"

"Um."

Yuuma Sengakuji nodded vigorously.

Inside the gift shop, five little girls— Yuuma Sengakuji, Est, Avrora Florestina, Nagisa Akatsuki, and Kanase Kanon —each held a delicate and small hair clip in their hands.

These hair clips are all the same style, only the colors are different.

Although it's inexpensive, this is Yuuma Sengakuji hopes for: to share the happiness she has gained equally with her friends.

Moreover, she was even more grateful to Yotsuba Mahiro as her father.

This was the first time she had ever received a gift since she could remember!

Yuuma Sengakuji pursed her lips slightly, gripped her hair clip tightly in her small hand, and then pounced on Yotsuba Mahiro.

"Thank you, Father!"

She threw herself into Mahiro's arms like a child, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.

Although Yuuma Sengakuji is already a junior high school student, in her second year, her actual age is much younger than she appears. In the incubation tank, she skipped the optimal age of 0 to 6 years old all at once.

Perhaps because they received gifts, Est and Avrora Florestina did not rush forward to compete with Yuuma Sengakuji.

Only Nagisa Akatsuki opened her mouth wide into an "O" shape, her little face filled with surprise and astonishment.

"Mahiro is actually Yuuma Sengakuji's father?!"

She was unaware of this matter; perhaps it had been mentioned in the past, but her careless nature prevented her from noticing it.

I finally found out about this today, but unfortunately, there's no one left to explain it to her.

"Alright, now that you've accepted the gift, you can't be Regrowth your mother Aye, anymore."

Mahiro stroked Yuuma Sengakuji's head, coaxing the girl in a joking tone.

"Um."

The girl nestled in Mahiro's arms nodded vigorously, then looked up at him earnestly.

"Father, I'm not actually angry with Mother. I just don't know why I upset her. I just want her approval..."

The more Yuma spoke, the Yuuma Sengakuji her voice became, until it turned into a muttering to herself.

Even Yuuma Sengakuji couldn't help but feel sad and upset when she thought back to what happened at school at noon today.

"Alright."

Mahiro comforted him:

"Actually, Aye isn't angry with you, Yuuma Sengakuji. She's just... worried about things that are impossible. Yuuma Sengakuji, please don't keep the Yoruichi Shihōin anymore. Tie your hair in a ponytail."

As he spoke, his hand slid down from Yuuma Sengakuji's head, stroking her neatly trimmed hair.

It's a bit of a shame. It took so much effort to grow it this long, and then Aye cut it back to the past with a single stroke.

No, I need to punish her properly when we get back!

Yuuma Sengakuji had no idea what Mahiro was thinking at that moment; she only felt her chest gradually filling with emotion.

It turns out that my mother didn't really hate me.

Thinking of this, the lingering disappointment and sadness in Yuuma Sengakuji's heart vanished in an instant, and her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Yotsuba Mahiro.

She believed that her mother's transformation was definitely orchestrated by her father!

He then nodded emphatically.

"Yes, Yuuma Sengakuji will do whatever Father says!"

After sending Kanase Kanon back to the orphanage, Mahiro took the four children back to the apartment, where he saw Natsuki Minamiya again, who had been missing for a whole day.

However, Natsuki Minamiya was glaring at him with an unfriendly look.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"What did you do?" Natsuki asked softly.

"???"

Mahiro slowly typed out a few question marks, then began to think that he hadn't done anything that would affect Itogami Island today, so he said directly:

"I didn't do anything."

"Really?"

"Of course, I just bought some gifts for a few kids after school today. Do you want some that Natsuki too?"

"I don't want that kind of thing! I mean, besides that, what else have you done?!"

"That's all... Oh right, I spent ages trying to remove Aye's bracelet, it shouldn't cause any problems, right?"

"You only did this one thing?"

"Otherwise what?"

While answering Natsuki's questions, he sat on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and then asked Nagisa Akatsuki and Yuuma Sengakuji to help Avrora Florestina and Est change their clothes. He then told them to go back to their rooms to do their homework.

Nagisa Akatsuki muttered, "I just can't do anything with you," and then led them back to their room.

Natsuki Minamiya had no intention of pressing the matter further.

She was still very curious about what Yotsuba Mahiro had done to Aye.

When she returned to her apartment after work, she saw Aye, but intuitively she noticed that Aye had changed. There was a strange change in her demeanor, a change that she couldn't quite describe.

The outline has also become more delicate, no longer so sharp and cold.

Most importantly, Aye actually greeted her, which was quite rare for him!

Although his attitude was cold, with only a simple "You're back," this was unprecedented since the two had broken up!

It was as if their relationship had instantly returned to what it was before Aye obtained the Dark Oath Grimoire!

However, Natsuki didn't pursue the matter further, as long as everything was moving in a positive direction.

Night slowly descended.

After showering, the girls returned to their respective bedrooms.

After Mahiro his last bath, Mahiro sneaked into Aye's bedroom while everyone else was asleep.

Perhaps anticipating his arrival, Aye didn't lock the door tonight.

The moonlight flowed in like melting ice water, illuminating the dim room.

The twelve-layered kimono that he usually wore was neatly hung on a clothes rack standing on the ground.

On the pure white bed, a raised curve appeared, Aye was fast asleep on her side with her back to the door.

Seeing this, Mahiro smiled, went to the bedside, lifted the blanket and lay down directly, hooking his arms around Aye's slender waist and pulling her into his arms.

He clearly felt Aye's body tremble and tense up, but then quickly relax.

Tonight, Aye is only wearing a bathrobe.

Even through the thin fabric, I could feel her body temperature gradually rising and her heartbeat gradually accelerating.

Aye's breathing was gradually becoming rapid.

Aye was already awake the moment he entered, but she didn't refuse.

"Don't worry, I've already appeased Yuuma Sengakuji. She doesn't dislike you because of this."

Mahiro whispered something in Aye's ear, Aye didn't respond. Mahiro continued speaking to himself:

"But don't be so impulsive next time, and don't think about those unnecessary things, okay?"

This time, Aye gave a soft "hmm" in response.

Mahiro didn't say anything more, but continued to hold the warm Aye in his arms.

As he held her, his hands gradually became restless.

Hmm, she seems to be only one size smaller than Maya and Yotsuba Miya.

He was quite surprised, or rather, witnessing it firsthand had been even more shocking to the world.

He originally thought Aye was flat-chested, but it turned out that was just because her clothes were too thick and made her look flat; in reality, she was quite well-endowed!

"Why."

Suddenly, Aye let out a soft sigh, feeling something dig into her waist.

He then rummaged around on his body for a while, before tossing a pure white bathrobe onto the ground.

"Aye? What are you doing? Wait, I just wanted to hug you, I didn't mean anything else... Ouch!"

"Don't move!"

Aye gave a slight rebuke and continued:

"Although I am a witch and have no interest in such things, you are my husband, and I naturally have to fulfill my duties as a wife. It must be very painful for you... Waaah!"

Half of her fair thighs were exposed, her jade-like skin exuding a faint, refreshing fragrance.

Her pretty face, rosy with a hint of white, and her moist eyes seemed to be extending a silent invitation to him.

Like a guide in the mountains and forests, leading him without hindrance into the hidden valleys and springs, to explore the unknown territory.

Although the two only worked together once, they were like close friends who had fought side by side for many years, and their teamwork was excellent.

Honestly, are witches really not interested in that kind of thing?
