The moment this thought popped into my head, a strange, bittersweet feeling welled up inside me uncontrollably.

She looked down at herself.

Because of the long hours of intense training, her body became more toned and... well-endowed than before.

His hands, which he had held for years, remained slender.

Skin improved by breathing techniques becomes even whiter and smoother.

I... I'm probably not bad either, right?

The meal was finished in a somewhat subtle atmosphere.

Lynn stretched and let out a satisfied burp.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

"You've had a long day, get some rest."

"I left you a few books on human anatomy and basic chemistry. Flip through them before bed; they'll be helpful for improving your own toxins in the future."

After he finished speaking, he got up to leave the training ground and return to his bedroom.

However, just as he was about to step out of the training field's portal...

"teacher……"

A soft, hesitant voice came from behind.

Lynn turned around.

Shinobu Kocho had stood up at some point. She lowered her head, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes. Under the light, her delicate face was flushed with a charming blush.

"what happened?"

Shinobu Kocho raised her head, her large, watery purple eyes staring at him intently, a hint of cautious inquiry in her gaze.

"That...Kasugano...Sora?"

When she uttered the name, her voice unconsciously carried a hint of bitterness that she herself was unaware of.

"The little sister you adopted, teacher..."

"What kind of girl is she?"

Lynn chuckled inwardly as he watched her awkward expression—clearly curious yet desperately trying to act like she was just asking casually and didn't care at all.

Here it comes, the classic probing segment for young girls.

After thinking about it, he gave the most objective evaluation.

"Very quiet, very well-behaved, like a fragile doll."

Quiet... well-behaved... doll...

These words were automatically translated into Shinobu Kocho's mind as "weak," "needing to be protected," and "able to arouse a man's strong protective instincts"—the attributes of a "green tea" girl.

Although she didn't understand green tea, she had naturally heard about the absurd things that happened in the Imperial Palace.

An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly surged into her heart!

No!

There can only be one student by a teacher's side!

No, even if there are other girls around the teacher, the most special one has to be me!

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision.

“Um… teacher… there are still some parts of the [Breath of Karma] that I don’t quite understand.”

"Especially with the final form, the power gathering is still a bit clumsy. Could you... could you guide me a little more?"

As she spoke, she unconsciously raised her arm, seemingly to tidy up the stray hairs on her forehead.

With this movement, the neckline of her slightly oversized pink pajamas was inadvertently pulled down, revealing an alluring curve.

Her snow-white, delicate skin and her subtly visible, exquisite collarbones exuded a fatal attraction under the soft light.

The air seemed to thicken at that moment.

Is it possible to say that women are self-taught?

Lynn almost burst out laughing when she saw her clumsy, disastrous "careless" attempt.

This girl.

Did they mistake him for an innocent, naive boy who knew nothing?

Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone!

The Shinobu Kocho in front of me seems to be getting further and further away from the cunning and ruthless older sister image I had in mind.

He leaned against the doorframe with his hands in his pockets, a playful smile on his face.

"Oh?"

"What don't you understand?"

"Is it a lack of concentration, or..."

His gaze, with a pointed undertone, swept over her slightly open neckline.

"...Not developed enough?"

Chapter 18: Is Qiong Mei my girlfriend?

【Ding! 】

The phased guidance "Complete Combat Redesign" is complete. Completion: Perfect!

[The guest 'Shinobu Kocho's' fighting style has been completely changed; she has created her own breathing technique, and her worship and trust in you have reached the 'fanatic' level.]

[Congratulations, Master! You have received a stage reward: Talent Skill - Upgrade: Perfect Combat Intuition (Intermediate)!]

[Perfect Combat Intuition (Intermediate): Your body will instinctively anticipate all attack trajectories aimed at you and automatically calculate the optimal evasion or parry strategy.]

"Intermediate level? It completely blows away the beginner level."

"Unfortunately, right now, having talent and skills is useless without the corresponding strength."

The next day, Lynn woke up to the sound of her biological clock screaming, sporting dark circles under her eyes that rivaled those of a national treasure.

Last night in the safe house, I gave Shinobu Kocho an intensive introductory lesson on "Karmic Poison Breathing," which was extremely mentally taxing.

Especially at the end, her clumsy seduction techniques made him feel even more exhausted than fighting the Upper Moon demon.

He yawned as he walked out of the room, and the scene in the living room instantly sobered him up.

On the sofa, a small figure sat upright.

Kasugano Sora has woken up, but it's unclear how long she's been awake.

She changed out of her black gothic dress and into the loungewear Lynn had bought her yesterday: a loose-fitting light gray cotton long-sleeved shirt and trousers.

She was still holding the black rabbit doll, her legs together and her back straight, like a delicate, fragile SD doll waiting for its owner's command.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, making her long, silvery-white hair almost transparent, and her whole being was enveloped in a soft halo, so unreal that she seemed as if she might disappear at any moment.

When Lynn came out, she only trembled her eyelashes slightly, without saying a word or moving.

Lynn walked up to her, squatted down, and touched her forehead with the back of her hand.

Temperature is normal.

[Emotional Awareness] is quietly activated.

The abyss-like gray orb above the girl's head, representing "deep despair," remained the dominant color.

But on this desolate gray edge, a tiny, almost imperceptible, golden glimmer stubbornly peeked out.

That was... a light called "warmth" and "peace of mind".

Although faint, it does exist.

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it didn't crash on the spot.

It seems that this "home" is still a safe zone for her.

"Are you hungry?"

Lynn stood up and rubbed her messy hair.

"wait for me."

Last night's dinner was takeout. It's fine for most people, but for someone like Qiong with her health condition, eating takeout regularly is obviously not a good idea.

Lynn sighed and resignedly walked into the kitchen.

For a teacher who hates trouble to the extreme and whose life plan consists of only the four words "eating and waiting to die," he is now actually starting to consider nutritional balance and regular meals.

what is this?

The Self-Cultivation of a Stay-at-Home Dad?

He opened the refrigerator, looked at the few lonely cans of beer and a row of eggs inside, and fell into deep thought.

I wish I could meet a girl who can cook...

The moment the thought popped into his head, the icy face of Yukino Yukinoshita and the energetic face of Yui Yuigahama flashed through his mind at an inopportune moment.

Forget it.

Relying on them is probably less reliable than hoping to quickly improve your cooking skills yourself.

Finally, an extremely simple breakfast was served.

Slightly toasted bread, perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg, and a glass of warm milk.

Qiong was led to the dining table by Lynn and sat down, remaining silent.

She picked up the toast and ate it in small bites, her movements slow and elegant, as if she had undergone rigorous etiquette training.

"I'll take you to complete the transfer procedures today."

Qiong raised her head, her empty gray eyes looking at him, as if waiting for him to continue.

"The school is the Zongwu High School where I teach."

"We can go to and from school together from now on."

Lynn spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

But the word "together" made Qiong pause her chewing motion almost imperceptibly for half a second.

……

In the morning, Lynn took Qiong to complete the transfer procedures.

His target school was, of course, Zongwu High School, where he taught.

He could almost foresee the uproar that would ensue when this stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl appeared at school as his "sister."

Not just that, there's that whole bunch of teenage bastards at Soubu High School...

And there's also Shizuna Hiratsuka's burning gossip spirit.

And the astonished expressions of the two problem girls in the Service Club.

Even... Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes, which seemed to thrive on chaos and were filled with amusement.

His daily life is destined to head in a chaotic and disorderly manner.

trouble.

It was already afternoon when the formalities were completed.

The two finished eating out.

Seeing the only black dress Qiong was wearing, Lynn decided to take her to the mall to buy some clothes and daily necessities.

People come and go in the largest department store in Chiba City.

Girls need to have their own clothes and daily necessities purchased.
