Chapter 425: Kato Megumi Arrives!
Chapter 425: Superpower Out of Control! Kato Megumi Arrives!
It wasn’t until Ren hung up the clothes to dry that the awkward atmosphere finally eased.
"Let’s talk about your situation," he said, pouring a few cups of tea.
Sakurajima Mai, who had calmed down, asked the question she most wanted to ask. "Do you know what my problem is?"
"Adolescent Syndrome, perhaps that’s how it can be described," this was his initial understanding. "Of course, I was a bit surprised. Your ability isn’t just a simple Puberty Syndrome. It’s a superpower."
"A superpower?" she was confused.
"That’s right. It’s inherently a supernatural phenomenon, based on the Puberty Syndrome from your inner self," Ren pointed to her chest. "But there’s a peculiar energy that spreads through your body, solidifying it into an uncontrollable superpower."
"Uncontrollable?" Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned.
"The reason she can’t control it is because she doesn’t even know it’s her superpower," he took a sip of tea. "Knowing this, what are your thoughts? If you want to permanently eliminate it, I can help you."
"..." Suddenly learning this, feeling at a loss was her most immediate reaction. According to him, the Puberty Syndrome was indeed generated by her inner thoughts. She wanted to disappear, wanted peace.
After a moment, she asked with a hint of hope, "If I don’t eliminate it, can I control this superpower?"
Ren nodded. "Yes. Once you realize it’s a superpower, under the deliberate control of your will, you will be able to master it. This is a gradual process. It all depends on you."
"Of course, you don’t need to worry too much. I’ve observed the energy in your body; it’s currently at its peak and will soon enter a decay period. It will probably disappear in about two or three years."
"Two or three years..." This meant if she mastered it, she could live the quiet life she desired at any time within that period.
"Oh, one more thing," Ren spoke again. "During the period when it’s out of control, it will intensify, and eventually, your existence might disappear from the world."
This was his kind reminder. If she chose to control her ability, she needed to do it quickly.
"Completely disappear!" She imagined that scene and shivered. She wanted peace, but she had never thought of completely disappearing. "Does that mean I’m dead...?" she murmured, crestfallen, and was preparing to give it up.
Seeing this, Shizuka elbowed him. "Quickly say something to comfort her."
He sighed. "But you don’t need to worry too much. Other people might forget you, but I most likely won’t. I’m confident about that."
"You..." Sakurajima Mai stared blankly at him.
"Don’t worry. I can promise you that I will never forget you, Mai." He was telling the truth. The magnitude of this ability was less than an ant to him.
"..." It was these simple, sincere words that inexplicably made her heart beat faster. "Thank you."
She made her decision. "I want to control this ability."
Ren said, "I respect your decision. However, you should consider your living arrangements."
Hearing this, Shizuka suggested, "Well, if you don’t mind, you can temporarily stay at my place. As a teacher, there’s no reason to ignore a student."
"Hmm, I think that’s a good idea. At least Sensei can remember you," Ren added.
"What ’Shizuka-sensei’!" her earlobes turned red as she glared at him. Why is he calling me so intimately in front of her?
Mai, who had already been mentally impacted, pretended not to see their playful banter. After some thought, she accepted. "Hiratsuka-sensei, thank you! I will repay you for the expenses later!"
"Alright."
Ren said, "Mai..." The original text used Sakurajima Mai, but he was changing his address for her. "Your ability is actually very similar to my girlfriend’s. I thought you could talk to her, so I brought her here."
The person he was referring to was Kato Megumi. Her presence was very similar to Mai’s current ability.
"Ding-dong!"
"She’s here." Ren went to open the door.
Mai’s mind, however, was a mess. His girlfriend? She looked at Teacher Shizuka. Isn’t it her?
"Ren, it’s been a few days."
"It has. I’ve been busy. Did you miss me, Megumi?"
"Yes, I did."
After a simple conversation, a smacking sound came from the entrance. There was no need to guess what they were doing.
"???" Sakurajima Mai was even more confused. She glanced at Teacher Shizuka, whose face was calm, as if she didn’t care at all. What exactly is going on?
While she was confused, Ren walked in with Megumi, who now had a hint of rosy color in her cheeks and moist, glossy lips. The glistening at the corner of her mouth explained everything.
