474 This test is far too difficult! (1/2)
Meanwhile, as Seiji and Hisashi had their conversation, Kaede had been hugging Seiji all this time.
Seiji indicated to her that it was probably time to let go of him. However, she still hugged him tightly and quietly without saying a word.
”You scared her so much,” Hisashi told him. ”Seeing you shatter like that, we were under the impression that something terrible happened to you. She… worked her hardest to rush back as quickly as possible.”
To be honest, he almost wanted to say 'as if she was insane' instead.
He had definitely witnessed for the first time just how much power a woman could explode with when she was worried about the person she loved… Even as her older brother, Hisashi was somewhat scared by his sister in such a condition.
It was because of Kaede going on a rampage that the remainder of the return process went unexpectedly smoothly.
Should he make a comment like ”Even hell cannot stop a maiden in love?”
”I apologize for worrying both of you.” Seiji was apologetic about this.
”I'm fine. However, she was truly worried to the point of almost breaking. Do a good job consoling her.” Hisashi glanced over at Kaede before he left the dojo.
He called some Juumonji Group mafia underlings over to carry Zankita away and to clean up the scene.
Seiji was thinking about how to console Kaede when she slowly let go of her embrace.
After she let go, she pulled on Seiji's hand instead and silently led him out of the dojo to a private area.
”Tell me the truth. How are you right now?” she asked him.
”I'm really quite fine. I already healed myself using magic.”
”Are you really alright?”
”Of course. Does it look like to you that I'm not alright?” Seiji smiled.
Something flashed in Kaede's eyes as she observed him.
”How about you? Are you feeling alright?” Seiji asked.
”I'm alright… I feel basically the same as Brother Hisashi.”
”That's good, then. As long as there's anything wrong with your body at all, let me know immediately.”
Kaede blinked upon hearing this.
”No matter what it is, you'll help me out, right?”
”Yep.” Seiji nodded.
Then let me tell you the honest truth, I'm not feeling that good right now… my heart is aching.”
”Eh?”
”I was so scared for you that my heart aches even now. It's such a terrible feeling, and I want you to do something about it for me right now!” Kaede said in a serious manner.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
It was fine to do something for her. However, the problem was just how to do something for her regarding this issue.
”What would you like for me to do for you, Sensei?”
”I would like for you to sleep together with me, my dear student Seiji.”
”This test is far too difficult! I give up.”
”Er…” Seiji received an unexpected cannon attack from this.
”You definitely have the ability to pass this test. You're forbidden from giving up!” Kaede looked directly at him.
”This… Reo is only a child, and Sensei, you're…”
”It's just sleeping together. Age is meaningless!”
”No, age is important as well…”
”In this test that I'm giving you, it's meaningless!”
”That's such an unreasonable test…”
”Stop resisting with your pitiful excuses, my dear student Seiji!”
”I don't think I'm making excuses…”
The teacher-student roleplay continued for a while with Kaede attacking and Seiji defending.
Finally, Seiji agreed to lie down together with Kaede for a while on a bed. He felt that it still wasn't alright to really sleep together with her.
Although Kaede wasn't completely satisfied with this result, she was still happy because she considered it as making progress with Seiji.
