"Ah~ the hot spring is really so comfortable."
At that moment, Yui looked completely relaxed.
Shizuka and Utaha unconsciously nodded when they heard that, because it was true, and they also felt that all of this was incredible, a completely new experience.
After all, who gets to enjoy bathing in a hot spring inside their own home?
Watching the white steam continuously spread all around them.
"Mahiru-chan, could you tell us how you met Shiro?"
The moment Yui said that, everyone else looked at her curiously.
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a slight headache. She hadn't expected this question to come up right now. Still, she didn't interrupt, because the decision of whether to speak or not belonged entirely to the other person, and she had no right to interfere, especially when it looked like they would be living together from now on.
The most important thing was that these people weren't bad, so she left the choice to her.
Shiina Mahiru hadn't expected to be asked and, for a moment, simply lowered her head beneath the water, blowing bubbles while not knowing how to answer.
"I'm sorry, I was too abrupt. I'm really sorry. If you have any difficulties, you don't have to say anything. We're just curious. After all, this is the first time Shiro has directly brought someone home to live here."
Seeing that the other person didn't respond, Yui immediately apologized.
Seeing her sincerity, Shiina Mahiru spoke right away.
"No, Yuihama-san, there's no need to apologize."
"I was just thinking about how to explain it."
Shiina Mahiru also knew that if she was going to live here, there would be many things she wouldn't be able to hide.
After saying that, she took a deep breath, decided to tell them everything, and began talking about her situation and how Shiro had saved her.
No one present had expected that the girl everyone regarded as an angel had such a past. To her parents, she had been nothing more than an unplanned child, someone they intended to discard as soon as they had fulfilled their parental obligations.
It had to be admitted that it was truly tragic.
"Mahiru-chan, please be my friend."
Yui took her by the hand and said energetically, her voice filled with sincerity.
"Yes, yes, count me in too!"
A naïve princess showed a bright smile and made it clear that she wanted to join them.
"Mahiru-chan, you can live here without worrying about anything. Another person who can help me with the housework will actually be useful. A certain lazy person never does anything."
After Mikan said that, she felt a small pang of guilt. Although Shiro really didn't do any housework, she had long noticed that for more than two years there had hardly been any dust in the house. She had previously thought they simply kept it clean, but now it was obvious that someone had used some special ability. The only things that still required effort were cooking and similar chores.
She only said it to make the other person feel more at ease.
"All of you..."
Shiina Mahiru looked at these people, so warm and obviously sincere, that for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but sigh when she saw the scene.
"Ah, youth!"
Shiro was also listening to their conversation, quietly sipping his wine while thinking about what he could do. Should he find an opportunity to visit another world? No, no, he would soon have a mission in the Super God world, but what about the other worlds?
"System, let's make a deal."
"Ding! What do you want to discuss with this System?"
"Emm... Give me one of the things I want. At worst, I'll trade it for this year's annual check-in reward. If this keeps going, I'll never make any progress."
"Ding! Do you think that thing is some roadside commodity? It's a true treasure. Honestly speaking, it's even more valuable than the Golden Account template you carry within your body."
"Even this System can't help you with everything. Everything depends on fate. Doesn't that Chat Group have the appropriate function?"
"Oh, come on, that requires points, doesn't it? Not to mention that the broken feature hasn't even been unlocked yet."
When Shiro heard that, his face clearly showed that he was plagued by bad luck. He had no choice but to try his luck, since there were still about six months left before his big gift package would be opened.
Honestly speaking, with that thing, his strength could increase dramatically because he would be able to fight with his full power without any worries, then continue advancing and become even stronger, instead of being so cautious and restrained.
"Ding! Even this System can't do anything about that. Of course, there is another way, and that is to create it yourself, but your current strength isn't enough for that..."
After that, Shiro looked as though he were suffering from a serious problem. After all, if he had that much strength, would he even need the System?
At that moment, he firmly tried to rely on the System, but it seemed to have simply disappeared, as if it weren't home, without giving any response at all. Shiro had his own guess—the damned System had simply shut itself down. Fine, fine, so that was how it wanted to play?
At that moment, Shiro was extremely irritated. That damned thing had actually pulled a stunt like this.
Just as he was in a bad mood, everyone came downstairs.
Mikan then walked over to Shiro.
"Teacher Shizuka doesn't have any clothes to change into. Do you have anything? If you do, take it out."
Shiro heard that, took care of the matter, and a completely new set of pajamas, both top and bottom, instantly appeared.
Mikan looked at the things that had appeared in front of her, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. This man had done it on purpose, absolutely on purpose.
Then, after giving Shiro a sharp look, she picked up the clothes. At that moment, his quiet voice was heard.
"By the way, tell her not to worry. They'll fit her perfectly, without the slightest mistake."
Mikan almost lost her balance when she heard that. Then she turned her head and looked at Shiro strangely, her gaze seeming to say, "There's definitely something going on between you two."
Mikan had always felt that something was strange. Now that the other person was about one meter sixty tall, everything seemed even stranger, but looking at Shiro's completely innocent expression, she became somewhat uncertain. After all, his acting was far too convincing; if he truly decided to act, she wouldn't be able to compete with him.
Hiratsuka Shizuka, who at that moment was in the room wrapped only in a towel, had no intention of going downstairs because she had no clothes to change into.
Lying on the large bed was unbelievably comfortable. That man really knew how to enjoy life.
However, just then she heard a knock on the door and instantly became alert. Could it be that Shiro had come in the middle of the night with some suspicious intention?
