Bringing Mafuyu Home

"Asakawa, are you free now?"

Naoki picked up the phone and was surprised to see that it was actually a message from Mafuyu.

The cold-faced and soft-hearted Mafuyu would hardly ever contact him (Naoki) unless she faced an unsolvable kitchen crisis like yesterday, so...in a crisis?

"Free."

Naoki answered quickly.

After a few seconds, Mafuyu said, "Can you come and pick me up?"

Are you really in crisis? And it's serious enough to ask for help?

"Harassment at Work?"

Naoki immediately thought of a topic that was unavoidable in the Japan workplace.

Working in Japan is different from China. Few people have resigned. Most of them work from graduation to retirement with gray hair. They can't just say no and leave like the China. Surveys show that over 90% of female employees have been harassed at work, but that's still the most dirty joke, and it turns into a crime if you actually get started!

"May I call now?"

Naoki frowned, quickly got up and changed his shoes, ready to go out.

Unexpectedly, Mafuyu actually said, "Yes."

Naoki closed the door and went downstairs while dialing Mafuyu's cell phone number.

After waiting a few seconds, the phone connected quickly.

"Sensei?"

"Um… I'm here."

Without the usual seriousness, his voice became extra gentle, and no doubt, under the influence of alcohol, she had become a gentle Mafuyu with a very gentle personality.

"Where are you?" Naoki asked quickly.

Mafuyu replied softly, "On the way."

Naoki carefully looked, and did hear the sound of a speeding car, was it taken to a bad place?

If you drink too much fake wine, you will feel dizzy and then be taken advantage of by the other party, perhaps you will very much agree with a soft heart!

Of course, the above is only the worst case. Everyone is a teacher at the same school.

"How much wine did you drink?"

Naoki's voice was serious.

"I drank three glasses of sake..."

If you can get drunk like this with three glasses of sake, you must be drinking a fake drink!

Mafuyu said softly: "And a glass of shochu…"

"Didn't I tell you not to drink too much!"

Hearing Naoki's stern tone, Mafuyu felt a little guilty: "This is the last cup, I left the izakaya after drinking, I didn't expect someone to follow me behind..."

[Translator's note: Naoki and Mafuyu's relationship is like husband and wife, is this just my feeling?]

Naoki was surprised: "Is someone following you?"

"Someone keeps following me when I cross the street, it feels like..."

You don't need to feel it anymore, you are clearly an idiot! Seeing that you drink alcohol alone, then evil is born on the side of courage! I thought it was a teacher and colleague at school, but I didn't expect it to be a random street pervert!

"Are there any convenience stores, supermarkets, coffee shops, candy shops, etc. nearby? Any place with lots of people." Naoki said quickly, "Then stop right there and wait for me to pick you up."

"Oh..."

Naoki put down his phone, and suddenly had a subtle illusion in his heart that parents went to kindergarten to take their children home.

...

Without talking all the way.

Naoki sent messages to Mafuyu every minute to track the dynamics of the other party in real time. After 10 minutes, he finally saw Mafuyu waiting for someone to take her home at the door of the candy shop.

With pink hair, holding a cell phone in her right hand and holding her left hand in front of her chest, Mafuyu who looked around from time to time, really looked like a child waiting to be brought home.

"Sensei, I'm here."

Naoki walked over to Mafuyu and put his phone in his pocket.

"Asakawa-" Mafuyu's eyes brightened, and she subconsciously raised her hand and grabbed Naoki's sleeve, feeling a little sad, "You're finally here."

After all, Mafuyu was only 24 years old, and she was alone. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. Moreover, she had not yet fully realized, and the hidden tension in his heart was finally revealed.

"It doesn't matter." Naoki comforted, "Let's go, let's go back to the apartment."

"En..."

After taking two steps, Naoki looked back at Mafuyu, who was still tugging at his sleeves.

"Not released?"

Mafuyu's face turned slightly red, and looked away: "I don't know if the person who followed me has left, so, so..."

Naoki looked around, the night wind was cold and the streets were full of passersby, but he didn't see anyone suspicious.

Naoki analyzed: "There are two possibilities, the first is a love at first sight..."

"What did you say?"

Mafuyu subconsciously puffed her cheeks.

What is wrong with it?

How can there be so much love at first sight in the world, if you are not pretty enough you will not set off the FLAG of love at first sight!

"Alright…" Naoki complained, "Actually, Sensei is too pretty. Others fall in love with you at first sight and admire you. He couldn't help asking for your email, but he was worried that he would be rejected by Sensei, so he could only hesitate and follow behind Sensei…"

"Don't continue."

Mafuyu couldn't help but cover his ears, even if she was drunk, she still felt very embarrassed.

"Is there another possibility?" Mafuyu asked.

"That's a stalker." Naoki said mercilessly, "Some disgusting creatures who are dominated by lust and lost their human origins always, peeking, taking secret photos, stealing women's underwear, and sending gifts..."

"How do you know so clearly?"

Who is skilled! Knowing the routine doesn't mean you've tried it yourself, it makes sense!

"Of course, people on Twitter often complain." Naoki couldn't help but say, "If you have free time instead of Twitter, don't prepare lesson plans all day long!"

"Is he still following us now?" Mafuyu's face turned pale, and subconsciously clenched Naoki's sleeves.

"The chances are very small." Naoki comforted, "Even if it is, don't worry… I'm here."

As an Esper, it's no big deal to want to finish the stalker.

...

The two quickly returned to the apartment.

Maybe because the night wind was a little chilly, Mafuyu woke up from a drunken state halfway through, but... She didn't let go of the hand that was holding Naoki's sleeve.

"Sensei, we have arrived."

"En."

"It's time to let me go, go home and sleep."
