After the act, the three of them cleaned up the mess again.
They checked the area as carefully and thoroughly as possible, and wiped their stains. They also opened the windows to ventilate the room. Fortunately, Chihiro come outside only once, and the table, the floor carpet, and the clothes were not soiled, probably because the room was sealed up as much as possible.
Aikaâs uniform that Chihiro was wearing was also safe.
After cleaning it up, Chihiro put the panties and Aikaâs skirt back on, and Suzu and Yotsuba changed into their own clothes. The disarray of their clothes was not too much to worry about. In particular, Suzuâs clothes are rough, so there is no need to worry too much about it.
The only thing that he has to worry about is his white slime that he has put inside them.
ãAre you two okay? I mean, the smell?ã
Usually, he plays in the bedroom of the apartment, which does not bother him because there is a shower and a change of clothes, but in this student council room, there is no shower or change of clothes.
So, they used the wet wipes provided, but Suzu and the others only cleaned up the stains around their entrance and put on their panties.
Still, heâs not sure how much it would smell or whether it would leak from their inside or not.
In case of emergency, it might be better to use the shower rooms located near the various training grounds or the ground. Though the facilities open during the festival would be limited and it is necessary to move around.
ãDonât worry. I can just disappear in case of an emergencyã
ãMy sisterâs okay is not helpful... but donât worry. As long as I donât behave suspiciously, it wonât be too suspiciousã
ãWhat if someone finds out?ã
ãThen Iâll threaten them and make them do what I sayã
It was an incredibly radical statement.
ãOh, Yotsubaâs gotten so tainted, hasnât it...ã
ãPlease donât give me the proper lamentation. Itâs just that Iâve come to terms with the fact that the most important thing is me. I think that torturing Yuuji-san at that time has changed "something" inside of meã
The former Yotsuba may not have scorned herself either.
After all, she may have been trying to do her best to help others, and it made her priorities almost topple over.
But now, she has stopped trying too hard for the sake of others.
For a moment, Yotsubaâs self-mocking smile quickly disappeared, and instead, she declared with an open smile
ãMy ability, my time, is for myself. I am willing to serve those close to me, and I am willing to serve them if it will result in their approval. But I no longer feel the need to work for free for strangers. And the only person I truly want to serve is Masterã
Is it selfish?
Suzu shakes her head with a smile.
ãItâs fine, itâs your own choice. If they complain, why donât you tell them to mind their own business?ã
ã...Sister (Nee-san)ã
Yotsuba gazes dazzledly at her sister who says it so simply.
ãYou already got your [Luck] back, didnât you?ã
ãYes. Well... there was a girl who asked for a spell today, thoughã
ãDid you do it for her?ã
Of course I did. I just did a spell for herã
ãI seeã
They smiled at each other and talked about Yotsubaâs abilities, [Luck] and [Luck Sharing].
ã...I see. The spell you did for me before...ã
ãYes. A tenth part of my luckã
Although it is remarkable luck, dividing it into several parts may not be a comforting idea.
But since it was not a spell to begin with, it does not make much difference if it is really just a spell.
No one will make a fuss that the spell has lost its effect, and there is no way to prove that the spell has lost its effect.
ãBut I was saved by Yotsubaâs spellã
ãIs that so?ã
ãYesã
Chihiro believes that the spell also helped to stop the fight between Maria and Aika.
To this, Yotsuba giggled happily.
ãIf so, it must surely be a relief. Itâs just a matter of how Master feelsã
Then she changed her expression.
ãIf you wish, I can share half of my [Luck] with you againã
ã...half, huh?ã
Yotsubaâs [Luck Sharing] does not allow her to choose the amount of fortune to share.
Whenever Yotsuba gives the fortune to someone else, it is divided by the number of people including Yotsuba. If Yotsuba gives her fortune to one person, her fortune is halved; if she gives it to two persons, her fortune is reduced to one-third; and if she gives it to ninety-nine persons, her fortune is reduced to one-hundredth.
In effect, the only way for Yotsuba herself to get the benefit of [Luck] is to choose not to share it with anyone.
Thinking so, Chihiro shook his head and answered
ãNo, itâs okay. As long as Yotsuba stays by my side and helps me with your fortune, itâs okayã
It is not necessary to use her abilities to help him.
Because just by being close to her, it should be possible for Chihiro to benefit naturally from her [Lick].
ã...But Master, you may suffer misfortune for my good fortuneã
ãIf that happens, thatâs the timeã
In any case, there is no way to determine that it was Yotsubaâs fault.
Besides, he has to pay for the fire that has fallen on him, so he should do so without any complaints. For Chihiro, Yotsuba is already an ally.
He will believe her as long as there is no decisive feud or betrayal.
Phewâ¦
Yotsuba exhales and smiles.
ã...Iâm no match for Masterã
ãYes. Chihiro-kun is like this. Yotsuba should be prepared for thisã
ãI guess soã
The sisters are laughing at each other.
It seemed that they were using him as an excuse, but he didnât feel bad about it.
Chihiro then left the student council room, leaving Suzu and the others behind.
ãMasterâs shift is over, so Iâll take the placeã
ãIâm going to talk to Yotsuba some more, tooã
ãI understand. Okay. Iâll see you laterã
After leaving the student council room, he walked aimlessly for a while, trying to figure out where to go.
Should he go to the infirmary where Aika is? No, he should change his clothes first. After all, he had enough of walking around dressed as a woman.
With this, he turns his feet toward the classroom 1-C and the locker room further away from the classroom 1-C. Butââ
ãOh, Izumi-kun!ã
He stopped when someone called out to him.
Standing there was a second-year student whom he did not know.
No, he knew her. She is one of the committee members of the school festival, although they have hardly talked to each other directly. As he recalls, she was a member of one of the events organized by the committee.
ãIzumi-kun, you are also entered in the "Miss Contest", so please do your bestã
ã...Heh?ã
She was the person in charge of the so-called "Miss Contest", a popularity contest in which students vote for the most beautiful students.
