Kato Megumi looked up, her voice still calm and collected, but a blush had clearly spread across her fair and delicate face, indicating that she was not completely immune to the soothing effects of the water magic.

"It's nothing, no need to worry about it."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"..."

After receiving Kato Megumi's affirmation, Kiyono Makoto once again stretched out his hands and silently activated a water magic spell without chanting.

The mist of sweet rain quietly gathered, and the treatment process was exactly the same as before, but for some reason, Kato's condition was completely different from before.

"Mmm...!"

With a trembling groan, the girl's breathing suddenly quickened, revealing an indescribable panic.

"Wait, wait... how could this be..."

"Well……"

Kato Megumi felt an indescribable tingling current sweep through her entire body, coursing through her limbs and bones. Her muscles were no longer under her control, and even her consciousness was becoming hazy.

"Be careful."

Seeing Kato swaying precariously, Kiyono Makoto decisively stepped forward and opened his arms to catch the girl.

"Huh...huh..."

Kato Megumi collapsed limply into his arms, completely unable to stand. But due to her girlish nature, she instinctively bit her lower lip tightly to avoid making any strange noises, her breathing only quickening.

The girl's sweet, hot breath fell on his chest through his shirt, causing Kiyono Makoto's heart to beat faster. He quickly turned his head to divert his attention, but his gaze inadvertently fell on the mirror.

Through the mirror, half of Kato Megumi's face can be clearly seen at this moment.

Kato, who is always calm and composed, as if she could remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, still had little change in expression on her pretty face at this moment. However, her tightly bitten cherry lips, her long eyelashes trembling with panic, her blushing cheeks that seemed to be dripping blood, and her neck that had quietly turned crimson, all silently proved that the girl's heart was not at peace at this moment.

It turns out.

Even Kato, who follows the natural way, cannot remain detached when faced with the healing power of water magic that requires no chanting.

Makoto Kiyono quickly thought of a possibility:

"So...it's actually because the senior student is too bad?"

The senior student seems very capable in combat, but she's actually all bark and no bite; she's all show and no bite.

On the contrary, Kato, who seems unassuming, clearly has an extraordinary level of endurance.

In addition, the effects of using water magic without chanting consecutively in a short period of time to soothe... no, to heal seem to stack?

At first glance, it seems unreasonable.

But upon closer examination, it actually makes quite a bit of sense.

One of the most important laws of dialectical materialism is the law of the transformation of quantity into quality.

When quantitative change reaches a certain level, it will inevitably lead to qualitative change.

That's why Kato was able to remain calm during the first treatment, while the second water magic treatment brought about a qualitative change, ultimately breaking through the girl's defenses.

at the same time.

Mrs. Kato happened to come out of the kitchen and peeked into the room through the half-open door:

"Xiaohui, the udon noodles are ready..."

Mrs. Kato's voice stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Eyes facing each other.

Seeing her daughter's flushed face, moist eyes, and the way she threw herself into her arms, Mrs. Kato blinked quietly and spoke silently:

"Xiao Hui, you can do it!"

Kato Megumi: "...Mom, let me explain!"

A moment later.

Kato Megumi finally calmed down, quietly stepped back, left Kiyono Makoto's embrace, turned her head to look elsewhere, her voice trembling slightly:

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for Kiyono-san."

Hey, you should be confronting them now, not apologizing right away!

"I'm sorry, I haven't used water magic consecutively before." Kiyono Makoto raised his hands and apologized decisively, "I won't do it again."

“It’s okay…” Kato Megumi turned her pretty face away, her ear tips flushed. “Kiyono-kun told me beforehand that it was strange, and I was the one who volunteered to accept the second treatment… Also, all the wounds have healed.”

Looking at her restored, fair skin, Kato Megumi lowered her gaze and whispered:

"...Kiyono-kun, you can go out first, I need to wash my face."

"it is good."

Kiyono Makoto nodded and turned to leave the restroom.

Hearing the noise, Mrs. Kato, who was sitting on the sofa, turned her head and looked over, her gentle face full of smiles.

"Auntie, what was actually just now..."

Kiyono Makoto coughed twice, as if to explain.

"It's alright," Mrs. Kato smiled and waved her hand. "I trust Xiaohui's judgment."

As a mother, don't leave everything to your daughter!

A moment later.

After washing up, Kato Megumi came out of the bathroom, turned around and went into the kitchen, bringing out a bowl of udon noodles:

"Kiyono-kun, it's time to eat your noodles."

"Thank you."

Kiyono Makoto politely thanked him, took the udon noodles, and began to eat. He quickly offered his sincere praise:

"It tastes amazing."

One of the essential etiquette rules for social interaction in Japan is that when you eat at someone's house, regardless of whether the food is good or not, you must praise the host's cooking skills; otherwise, you are considered to be out of touch with reality.

Of course, Kiyono Makoto's praise just now was not a lie; he genuinely thought it was quite delicious.

"My dad and I have to go to work, so Hui does most of the housework, especially the beef and potato dish, it tastes amazing." Mrs. Kato smiled and praised her daughter. "Kiyono-kun is coming over tomorrow, so I'll have Hui make it especially for you... Hui, is that alright?"

Kato Megumi sat beside him with a perfectly normal expression, her pretty face showing no change in emotion whatsoever.

"Hmm... No problem, Kiyono-kun was a great help today."

"Ahem, I have something to do tomorrow..."

Kiyono Makoto finished the bowl of udon noodles quickly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kiyono-kun, give me the bowl."

Kato Megumi took the bowl and chopsticks, calmly turned around and walked into the kitchen.

After washing the dishes, Kato brought over a cup of barley tea.

"Kiyono-kun, here's your tea."

"Thanks……"

Looking at the barley tea in his hand, Kiyono Makoto suddenly realized that since entering the house, he seemed to have been taken care of perfectly. Could this be what is called maxed-out feminine charm?

Chapter 31 Fast forward to living together!

After finishing a cup of tea, the heavy rain outside finally subsided and turned into a light drizzle.

"Auntie, I'm going back now."

Kiyono Makoto stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Kato did not try to stop her this time, and turned to look at her daughter:

"Xiao Hui, go and see Kiyono off."

"Okay, Mom."

Kato Megumi quietly got up and escorted Kiyono Makoto to the door:

"Kiyono-kun, please be careful on the road."

"Okay." Kiyono Makoto took the umbrella from the girl and opened it above his head. "See you tomorrow."

"Um..." Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips, her tone slightly hesitant, "Kiyono-san, could we exchange contact information?"

A cool breeze blew by, lifting the girl's skirt.

Kato Megumi gently covered the hem of her skirt with her right hand, looked up, and saw that the girl's eyes were clear and bright, without shyness or arrogance, only frankness:

"When that strange guy left, I had a feeling he wouldn't let it go, and I was a little worried..."

"Kato-kun is quite vigilant."

"No one can be indifferent to this, right?"

"When you speak, please show a fearful expression."

"Eh... that kind of thing is a bit too much to ask."

"..."

After a brief chat, the two exchanged contact information.

"I'm going back."

Kiyono Makoto waved and turned to walk into the rain.

After leaving the Kato family home, Kiyono Makoto didn't rush back. Instead, he went to the supermarket and bought a half-price bento before turning around and going home.

Unfortunately, the udon noodles were delicious, but the portion was too small, and I wasn't full.

Before we knew it, it was 11 p.m.

Kiyono Makoto was already lying in bed preparing to rest when his phone suddenly vibrated slightly.

I picked it up and saw it was a message from Megumi Kato.

"Kiyono-kun, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

"Excuse me, whenever I close my eyes, the image of that monster appears in my mind, and the picture is incredibly clear... Is this just my imagination, or is there some other reason?"

Looking at the message that popped up on his phone, Kiyono Makoto softly comforted her:

"It's probably just psychological. Normal people would have nightmares if they encountered that kind of monster. Since you can't sleep, Kato, get up."

"Huh?"

"Get up and play games to distract yourself."

"But I have to go to school tomorrow..."

"At worst, you'll just doze off in class, which is better than constantly scaring yourself."

"Makes sense."

Megumi Kato sent a message:

"What games do you think are good to play, Kiyono-kun?"

What do you usually do for fun?

"Um, I don't usually play games."

You're always glued to your phone, not even playing games! Are you watching "Study the Great Nation"?

Kiyono Makoto hesitated for two seconds, then sat up abruptly. His physical abilities had been enhanced, significantly reducing his daily sleep needs. He wasn't actually sleepy; it was just his biological clock that made him lie down.

Have you ever played the "search, attack, and withdraw" game?

"Oh, no."

"Can't sleep? Let's play together."
