After saying goodbye to Yanami, who had to continue acting as a communication lubricant and running errands for Student Council members and art club members who were still working at the school, Asakura and Gokou Ruri set off for the Soubu High School auditorium.
"By the way, Ruri, is your Magic really okay? Why did you suddenly lose control and show your tail just now?"
Asakura asked Gokou Ruri with concern on the way.
"…It's okay, occasional rampages, personality reversals, and throbbing pain in the arms or eyes are normal."
The girl evaded the question.
"That's just ordinary chuunibyou."
Asakura first retorted, then showed a worried look: "If there is a problem with the Magic, you must tell me."
After all, he had seen Hitori's Magic go berserk and degenerate before. Although he stopped it in the end and prevented the situation from developing in the worst direction, it also sounded a warning to Asakura.
Unlike him, who could control his Magic as easily as his arms and fingers after obtaining it, the girls' Magic was like an extra organ in their bodies. Although they could rely on instinct to control it to a certain extent, no one knew whether the extra thing was a kidney that could provide more energy or an appendix that would more easily induce appendicitis.
Gokou Ruri looked at the sincere worry on Asakura's face, and felt warm in her heart, but also a little shy.
She couldn't say that it was because she was too happy that her Magic went out of control.
"Maybe there's a little too much Magic power recently…"
So she could only say compromise.
Asakura heard this and stretched out his finger without hesitation, using a scale to cut a small opening on his fingertip.
His original intention was just to let the girl lick it, but after being surprised, Gokou Ruri held Asakura's hand with twelve points of seriousness, stretched out her pink tongue and licked it carefully for him, and occasionally held it in her mouth.
Perhaps the girl's Magic still hadn't been completely controlled. Asakura felt that the girl's tongue was a bit like a cat's tongue. It felt a little rough when licked, giving people a ticklish feeling. The moist and warm touch also wrapped his fingers from time to time. This feeling of not knowing whether it was comfortable or uncomfortable made Asakura's heart itch like a cat scratching, and he felt quite tangled.
After a while, Asakura stripped about three hundred units of Magic power from the girl.
It's not that he couldn't squeeze it out completely, but the girl herself had a certain control over her Magic, and she would occasionally use Magic and practice, so there was no need to absorb all the Magic power.
Only after doing all this did Asakura realize that someone was standing not far away.
"…Did I interrupt?"
Yuigahama Yui scratched her face a little embarrassedly and said, "But you guys better restrain yourselves a little. Fortunately, I'm the one who came out to throw garbage. If it were someone else, things might be a little troublesome…"
"Yui, don't misunderstand."
Gokou Ruri released Asakura's hand with a blank expression, but the blush on her face showed that her mood was not as calm as it seemed: "I was just licking Takuma-kun's finger."
"Isn't that a complete misunderstanding?!"
Yuigahama said, holding her forehead.
"There's nothing strange about it, it's just licking fingers."
Gokou Ruri continued to explain with a blank expression.
"This behavior is already very strange!"
"At this point, is Yui still making a fuss about this kind of thing?"
Gokou Ruri's eyes were sharp.
"Don't say it like something lewd happened! I'm still a virgin… retaining my purity as a girl!"
Yuigahama Yui said loudly.
"Please don't say such things loudly in a place where people can easily pass by."
Gokou Ruri calmly instructed: "People will misunderstand."
"Who did something that could easily be misunderstood first!"
"It's Yui who is talking loudly."
"I'm being backstabbed?!"
Yuigahama Yui turned her gaze to Asakura, hoping that he, who hadn't said much since just now, would help her.
So Asakura took out a coupon and gave Yuigahama Yui a thumbs up: "Aibo, let's go to the bathhouse together after school."
"Hey, do you really need to say this kind of thing at this time?! Isn't this making the situation even worse!"
The girl wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Don't worry, I'll go to the men's bathhouse obediently."
Asakura explained seriously.
"Otherwise what?! What's with this 'since that's the case, I'll take a step back' statement, isn't this a matter of course?!"
"As a price, Amakusa will go to the women's bathhouse."
"Isn't this even worse—!"
It seems that even on Yuigahama's side, Amakusa Shino's reputation is very subtle.
"Seriously, I'm about to forget that I came out to throw garbage…"
Yuigahama Yui said somewhat tiredly, "What are you guys doing in the auditorium?"
"Looking for you."
Asakura replied.
"Don't joke at this time, I'm tired too."
Yuigahama Yui muttered softly.
"I'm not kidding. Takuma and I are here to give you the bathhouse discount coupons for your hard work..." Gokou Ruri explained.
"Huh? Is that so?"
Yuigahama Yui then realized that Asakura wasn't joking, and immediately felt that her attitude just now wasn't very good: "I'm sorry, I was too loud…"
"I refuse to forgive you! As punishment..."
Asakura said with a serious face, "Please change your drink to an iced Americano after your bath."
"Ugh, I don't want that… At, at least let me add sugar and milk to it…"
Yuigahama Yui said with a sad face.
"By the way, when will you guys be finished here?"
Asakura asked the girl.
"Soon, soon..."
Yuigahama Yui replied: "It's not that it wasn't finished before, it's just that there's still budget left, and everyone wants to make the scene better, so we've reworked it a little… It'll definitely scare you tomorrow!"
"What are you guys thinking, scaring the lead actor before the stage play…"
"It's a scare in a positive way..."
Yuigahama Yui took the coupon, "By the way, did Yukino receive this?"
"She ran too fast..."
Asakura shook his head: "And judging from her sister's attitude the past two days, even if she received the coupon, she wouldn't be able to come out."
"That's true… Yukino's sister looks so gentle, but her family education is surprisingly strict."
Yuigahama Yui raised her eyebrows and said to Asakura, "Takuma-kun, you must perform well in tomorrow's performance and move her a lot, so that Yukino might have more time to play with us!"
"Gentle, huh…"
Asakura touched his chin.
Although he had only met that Miss Haruno twice, Asakura didn't have as good an impression of her as Yuigahama Yui did.
Hopefully, nothing goes wrong at the Founders' Festival.
