On the way back, Aizen checked his system panel and found that Minerva Glass's favorability toward him had reached 72 points. He knew this was because of the help he had given that afternoon and his ability to treat her mother's eyes, which had earned him such a high level of favorability. Juno Glass's favorability toward Aizen was also quite high, at 67 points, and he believed it would increase further with each treatment.
After dinner, despite attempts by Minerva Glass and Juno Glass to persuade him to stay longer, Aizen chose to leave without lingering.
Having temporarily settled matters with Minerva Glass, Aizen did not visit her the next day. Instead, he spent time at the pastry shop while Azusa Enomoto learned cake-making from Natsumi Kousaka.
Another day passed. On the afternoon of Minerva Glass's final match, Aizen went to the hotel where she was staying.
He arrived just as Minerva Glass was preparing to leave for the stadium.
"Mr. Aizen!"
Minerva Glass was both surprised and delighted by his arrival.
"Miss Glass, are you leaving already?"
Aizen pretended to be surprised and then said, "I came to treat Ms. Glass, but it seems I've come at an inconvenient time. Perhaps we should postpone the treatment until tonight."
Minerva Glass hurriedly said, "Please don't postpone it, Mr. Aizen. Please continue the treatment."
Aizen asked, "Is it alright if Miss Glass isn't present?"
Minerva Glass replied, "If my absence won't cause any problems, I hope the treatment can continue."
"That won't cause any problems," Aizen said.
"Then please continue the treatment. Don't change the treatment schedule because of me," Minerva Glass said. Although she was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't stay, she didn't want to delay her mother's treatment because of her.
Aizen nodded. "If Miss Glass insists, then I have no problem with that."
Minerva Glass naturally insisted. After exchanging a few words with her mother, she hurriedly left, worried that she might be late.
After Minerva Glass left, Aizen said to Juno Glass, "Madam, let's begin the first treatment. I will need your cooperation."
"Is there anything I need to do? I'll definitely cooperate," Juno Glass replied with a nod.
Aizen said, "I'll be using acupuncture from traditional Chinese medicine, so you'll need to undress and lie down on the bed."
"Ah?"
Juno Glass was clearly surprised and asked hesitantly, "Do I really need to be completely naked?" Although she didn't think Aizen had any improper intentions, she still felt a little awkward about undressing in front of a stranger.
Seeing that Juno Glass didn't immediately refuse, a faint smile appeared on Aizen's lips.
"Madam, removing your clothes helps with heat dissipation and allows the treatment to work properly. It's a necessary step," Aizen explained.
"Alright, I understand."
Juno Glass bit her lip and agreed. Although she felt somewhat embarrassed, she was willing to do it in order to regain her sight.
Juno Glass slowly removed her clothes, while Aizen stood quietly nearby.
Soon, at Aizen's request, Juno Glass lay down on the bed so that the treatment could begin.
Aizen carefully examined her condition. Despite having a daughter who was already an adult, Juno Glass had maintained herself remarkably well.
However, Aizen restrained himself. For the sake of Minerva Glass and his long-term plans, he didn't do anything improper. Instead, he focused seriously on the treatment, knowing there would be plenty of opportunities in the future once they were in Japan.
