Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

"Really? Then I've cooked some plum porridge, have some."

"Shirou cooked this himself?" Yuju's eyes lit up.

"They don't sell this kind of thing on food delivery platforms."

"I want to eat."

Yuzhu was surprised that Shirou had cooked porridge for her, and her somewhat gloomy mood immediately improved.

There's even this kind of perk? I've really struck gold... My heart is bursting with joy.

"I'll go get the porridge. You should change your clothes now, Youzhu."

Shirou hesitated for a moment about whether to help the bedridden Aoi and Aoko change their clothes, but in the end he gave up.

Although it might soil the bedding, I can wash it myself later. Helping a girl change clothes... that's just idiotic.

"Hurry up and get the porridge!"

Yuzu probably wanted to change her clothes quickly, and urged Shirou to go out.

"Ah, um, I understand... Call me if anything happens, okay? I'll knock first."

Shirou said somewhat worriedly, "Arisu has become very impatient."

"Okay, go quickly!"

"Luckily I didn't help her change her clothes," Shirou thought. "It seems she really hates seeing her skin."

Five minutes later, Shirou, carrying a pot of porridge, knocked on Yuzu's door again.

"Please come in."

Upon entering the house, Shirou discovered that Yuzu had not changed her clothes and was still wearing that black knit sweater.

why?

Shirou didn't know why she hadn't changed her clothes, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Shirou brought the porridge to Ayumi, only to find that the girl's dark pupils were gleaming.

"Amamiya-kun, feed me."

Shirou paused for a moment, then nodded: "………………Oh."

Pour the porridge into a bowl, place the plum in the center of the porridge, and then scoop out a small spoonful.

Yu-ju stared at the steaming white porridge and said, "It looks a bit hot."

"It was my oversight. I think Ayumi is quite sensitive to heat."

Yuzhu shook her head.

Even though she hadn't showered for a day and a night, her swaying hair still smelled sweet.

"I didn't mean to criticize Amamiya-kun."

Shirou:?

What do you mean?

A faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks: "Help me blow on it."

Shirou: "………………"

It's so embarrassing.

"Amamiya-kun~"

Seeing Shirou's reluctant expression, Arisu let out a cute voice that was clearly being coquettish.

No one could resist Yuuki's coquettishness, Shirou thought.

Then, as if resigned to his fate, he blew on the spoon, and Yu-joo watched happily.

"Ah... ah?"

"Huh~?"

The black-haired girl obediently parted her pink lips.

Shirou gazed at her glossy lips, swallowed hard, and handed her the spoon.

After taking a small bite, the witch gave her evaluation.

"good to eat."

"Really? That's great."

"Mmm, it's delicious... Do you like it?"

"That's an exaggeration. It's just plain porridge... It doesn't matter who cooks it."

"...Only Shirou is special."

"This, this is it."

Is it because I'm sick?

I feel like Ariya is cuter than usual today...

Shirou felt his cheeks burning slightly, so he quickly scooped out another spoonful and blew on it.

Soon, the bowl of white porridge was finished.

Shirou always felt it was a pity that the feeding time was so short.

"I am full."

"Now you should get some rest."

As the boy got up from the bedside to leave, Youzhu gently grabbed his sleeve.

Shirou: "Is there anything else you need?"

Yu-joo: "I'm sweating a lot, please wipe my body."

Shirou: "…………"

Yuzhu: "Amamiya-kun..."

Shirou: "Um, Arisu, you should wipe it yourself."

Yu-joo: "I can't move, help me wipe it."

A pitiful look was cast upon him, piercing through Shirou's chest.

Five minutes later, he returned to the room carrying a washbasin and a towel.

"Should I take off my clothes?"

"it is good."

Shirou climbed onto the bed and came to the girl: "Um... Arisu, raise your hands high."

"it is good."

Shirou grabbed the hem of his clothes and pulled it upwards.

The only thing underneath the knitted sweater was black lace lingerie.

Slender hands and feet, fair skin, soft and beautiful curves, exuding a certain alluring charm...

The body of the beautiful and noble girl, like that of a fairy, was completely exposed to Shirou.

"........."

Shirou suppressed his intense inner turmoil, took a wrung-out towel, and began wiping Yuzu's neck.

Yuzu blinked: "Amamiya-kun... underwear?"

Shirou explained, "We can untie it when we wipe your back."

Yu-ju: "This bra... has a front closure."

Shirou: "…………"

Volume 2, Chapter 147: The Amamiya Residence Turns into a Battleground

With Shirou's meticulous care, Aoko and Arisu recovered from their severe colds quickly.

During this time, many embarrassing and heart-pounding events occurred, such as using his forehead to test Yu-joo's temperature, helping Yu-joo change her underwear, and...

While these things were happening, Aoko was simply fast asleep in her room.

After they both recovered from their illnesses, it was Christmas time.

The three of them ate roast turkey and Christmas dinner together at the mansion.

They would still chat idly in the living room, enjoying their slow-paced life, just like before.

If there's one change, it's that Shirou and Aoko are now officially dating.

“Aoko…this is an undeniable crime.” Arisu frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing.

"No problem, Shirou and I are only 5 years apart."

Aoko said dismissively.

Although they are "only" five years apart now, when Shirou returns to 1997, the age difference will become 13 years.

However, Aoko stated that such an age difference is nothing to a magician, and could even be considered meaningless.

By the way, the current Aoko is not the "future Aoko", but "17-year-old Aoko".

After her duel with her sister ended, Aoko returned to the future.

Even so, "17-year-old Aoko" still retains her memories.

According to her, she remained conscious when she transferred control of her body to her future self.

In the world of magic, this is called "possession".

Normally, there are two scenarios: "the person loses consciousness" or "the person retains consciousness".

However, Aoko's situation is more special.

Possession requires compatibility, and in this case, both the possessor and the possessed are the same person, so their compatibility is miraculously good.

As a result, Aoko inside the body could not only see and hear, but she could also fully feel all external stimuli.

Take Shirou's kiss, for example.

In a world where movement is impossible and only perception is incredibly acute, the 17-year-old girl reaffirmed her feelings.

I know I like Shirou the most.

This was love at first sight.

The first time I saw Shirou, I was attracted by his incredible aura.

A girl who was stronger than the boys at school received protection from a man for the first time.

From that night on, Aoko became a girl in the throes of first love—but she was completely unaware of it.

Later, they lived together in the mansion for a week.

The mysterious aura surrounding Shirou has disappeared, but—Aoko likes him even more now.

He is essentially a gentle and steady child, but he can also be rude and impatient. He occasionally makes some unintentionally sarcastic remarks, which Aoko finds very cute.

When they turned around, they couldn't take their eyes off Shirou.

She clearly recognized the budding of her first love.

Then, Aoko made the following choice:

He clearly expressed his feelings to Shirou without asking for a reply.

This is Aozaki Aoko's view on love.

As long as I like him, that's enough. I don't think I need to know the other person's feelings to be happy.
