571 I want you to feed me with your mouth~ (1/2)

Later that night, Seiji contacted Hana and asked her about the Bloodwine Ritual tournament.

”Don't die.”

The cat-eared hat girl fell silent for a while, saying nothing else apart from that.

She also directly agreed to help him gather information about the other tournament participants.

Seiji didn't mention anything about the harem, because he could already imagine Hana's likely reaction… he decided to conceal the harem from her for the time being.

The next morning.

He received a call from Mika. Apparently, she had finally returned to her normal state.

Seiji immediately headed next door to check her situation. She had indeed returned to her normal self, and Mashiro also now possessed a complete human form!

That Spiritual Creature's former egg shape had now become a little girl. She was wearing a dark-red dress and was much larger than before. She now seemed like a very beautiful little angel.

*Chirp!*

Mashiro still chirped cutely and smiled as she jumped towards Seiji.

Seiji reflexively hugged her and felt her body's warmth and softness. There was no difference from a human's.

*Chirp~*

Mashiro rubbed her face against his chest and had a joyous expression.

Seiji smiled to see how intimate she was acting with him. He reached out and gently patted her on the head.

The silver-winged loli was evidently delighted with this as the wings on her back started fluttering slightly.

Mika also smiled upon seeing this scene.

”Do you feel that anything about your body is uncomfortable?” Seiji asked Mika.

”Not at all.” Mika shook her head.

”That's good, then.”

Seiji then looked towards Mashiro.

”Mashiro-chan, you protected Mika. Wonderful job.”

*Chirp~*

The silver-winged loli was incredibly delighted to be praised. She revealed a brilliant smile.

Seiji returned home after confirming that Mika and Mashiro were both alright.

After that was going to school just as normal.

Kaede felt like something was wrong.

The atmosphere between Seiji, Mika, and Chiaki had subtly changed.

Everything appeared the same as usual. However, Kaede perceived that something had already changed.

This made her feel quite anxious. She really wanted to know what was going on.

During class in the morning, Kaede sent a text message to the person who she felt was most likely would tell her what was going on.

After class, that person arrived in the infirmary.

”As expected, Juumonji-sensei saw through us.” Chiaki smiled. ”I knew that we wouldn't be able to fool you.”

”I can't say that I saw through anything, I could only feel it.” Kaede looked at Chiaki. ”What exactly happened? Could you tell me, Wakaba-san?”

”Pressure?”

”That's right. Sensei will understand immediately once I tell you.”

”…You don't need to tell me if it will give Seiji more pressure.”

”It's not that he'll be pressured if Sensei knows what happened. Instead, it's that the actions you're likely to take may give him pressure if you knew what happened.” Chiaki grinned. ”Sensei, if you choose to leave Seiji after learning what happened, nothing will come of it, and it's your freedom to choose. But, Sensei, if you learn what happened, and want to take action instead of leaving him, that will give him more pressure. That's why I hope that Sensei will first promise me that you can keep this matter a secret and not take action for the time being if you choose to stay by Seiji's side.”

Something flashed in Kaede's eyes. A few seconds later, she nodded.

”I promise.”

After receiving this verbal guarantee, the tomboy nudged over and whispered something into the blonde nurse's ear.

Kaede instantly widened her eyes.

After Chiaki finished her explanation, she smiled once more at Kaede before turning around to leave.

'A harem… I see.'

Kaede's expression returned to normal after she finally digested what she just heard.

She quickly understood what Chiaki meant by saying that Seiji would be ”pressured.”
