Chapter 63 - The Gathering of Women

"Are you alright, oneechan?" The soft, childish voice rang out in her ear.

Mio was so utterly ashamed that white smoke might as well have been billowing from her head; she was nearly fossilized. The continuous, lingering sensation of arousal still pulsed through her body.

"I-I'm fine…" Mio's body trembled slightly. She wanted to move away, but she couldn't muster any strength.

It wasn't until Yui and the other three girls ran down, concerned.

"Mio, are you okay?"

"Oh my gosh, you're squashing a little boy!"

They quickly moved Mio off Asa. Only then did she slowly exhale. Mio quickly glanced up at Asa's face. The shock of his exquisite beauty was instantly followed by the sensation of arousal returning, and she moved her gaze away as if fleeing.

"T-thank you…" she mumbled, her voice faint as a mosquito's buzz. Her delicate, reserved face was crimson with shame. This was her first intimate contact with a boy! And she had made such embarrassing sounds… Her body had also started acting strangely… Mother said that if this happens, I can only marry him… but he's so small, I'll have to wait for him to grow up…

Mio Akiyama, with her extremely conservative and traditional views on gender roles, gradually descended into a peculiar fantasy, looking as though she had been petrified beside them.

The other three girls of the Light Music Club immediately crowded around the handsome, endearing little shota.

"Wow, what a cute little shota!"

"Pinch his cheek, it's so fun!"

"It feels even better to hug him!"

"Mugi, you try too!"

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"Shiraishi Asa!"

Sawako, who had arrived next to them at some point, heard the name and was slightly startled. She looked at Asa with surprise and asked, "So you're the Asa-kun that Shizuka is always talking about?"

Asa looked up at the exquisite-faced female teacher. "Is Hiratsuka-sensei here too?"

"She's not here right now…" Sawako crouched down to be at eye level with Asa, a hint of admiration flashing in her beautiful eyes. She had heard Shizuka describe Asa's handsomeness and cuteness countless times. Now, it seemed she hadn't exaggerated.

"What, are you here looking for Shizuka?"

Asa shook his head and said, "I'm here to find Ai-neechan…"

The women were slightly puzzled by this. Ai-neechan?

Before they could ask, Asa's eyes lit up slightly. "I see Ai-neechan!"

With that, all the women followed his gaze to where an extremely dazzling and beautiful girl was quickly walking toward them.

"Hoshino Ai?!" The Light Music Club girls were stunned.

The two, who looked as if they had been blessed by the God of Beauty, embraced. They didn't say anything; they just held each other. Ai greedily inhaled Asa's scent. This was the source of her energy!

A moment later, Ai looked up, her star-shaped eyes smiling and her face blooming like a flower.

"Well, are you surprised?"

"Your oneechan kept her promise and transferred to Shuchi'in."

"Now, if Asa-kun gets bullied, your oneechan can directly back you up!" Ai waved her small fists, her face full of indignation.

Recently, as her popularity grew, several film companies had contacted Kyoko and sent over several scripts. Although they weren't planning on entering the film industry yet, they had briefly looked through them.

Coincidentally, one of the scripts featured an orphaned protagonist who was adopted by a wealthy family only to be subjected to endless bullying. He was relentlessly exploited day and night by his beautiful stepmother. Trampled underfoot by his scheming older sister and her best friend. Insulted daily by his arrogant younger sister. They seemingly welcomed him, but were in fact attacking him from all sides, forcing the protagonist to toil tirelessly day and night.

After reading it, Ai completely inserted Asa into the role, becoming extremely worried. She felt as though he was currently suffering through such a painful life!

"Don't worry, Ai-nee. Mrs. Yukinoshita and the others treat me very well." Asa soothed her.

As the rehearsal ended, the auditorium was about to open for the outside audience to enter. Before heading backstage to prepare, Ai and Asa pressed their foreheads together. Only then would Asa's eyes reflect only her image.

"Asa-kun, I finished perfecting another song you hummed before. Watch your oneechan closely!"

"Ai-neechan, good luck! I'll be watching your performance closely from below!"

The most highly anticipated event of the school festival was undoubtedly the performance stage set for the afternoon. Watching the excellent students showcase their talents on stage—the young saw aspiration, peers saw effort, and elders saw youth!

All audience members could find a beautiful moment from their own memories. Not to mention the appearance of B-Komachi and Hoshino Ai this time. This added several degrees of excitement to Shuchi'in's school festival stage performance!

Seeing the fans, initially scattered but gradually gathering in groups holding their glow sticks, made many people curious about this idol group, B-Komachi.

"Hey, the school festival performance is about to start! Auntie Yukiko, should we go watch?" Ran Mouri looked at the direction the crowd was moving, suddenly remembered, and quickly turned to Yukiko Fujimine beside her.

"Hmm, a performance. I wonder what kind of things the young girls are into these days…" A hint of nostalgia appeared in Yukiko's beautiful eyes as she recalled her own high school days. "Well, a quick look is fine. Asa-kun probably won't go home so soon…"

Eri Kisaki had been dragged back to work by Mrs. Yukinoshita, but Yukiko remained at Shuchi'in, keeping Ran company after her haunted house work. The main reason was that if she approached Asa alone, it would be difficult to explain if Eri Kisaki found out later. But if she brought Ran along, even if Eri Kisaki became suspicious, she could use the excuse, "I was just letting the two step-siblings spend some time together," to smooth things over!

As they walked toward the auditorium together, Yukiko casually probed, "When did Ran-chan meet Asa-kun?"

Ran didn't expect Yukiko to suddenly mention Asa. Her body trembled slightly, and she immediately recalled the experience in the haunted house that morning. Recalling their first meeting, her body seemed to have…

"About a week ago…" Ran replied, her face slightly flushed.

Yukiko's delicate eyebrows twitched at that. She hadn't expected Eri Kisaki to have hidden Asa-kun so well. After a moment's thought, she continued to ask, "Does Ran-chan know about Asa-kun's background?"

"I heard Mom mention it before. I think he was an orphan and was recently adopted by Mrs. Yukinoshita…" Ran answered truthfully.

With that, she looked strangely at Yukiko. "Why are you asking all this, Auntie Yukiko?"

Yukiko gave a meaningful, faint smile. "Nothing much, I just find it strange that someone as cold as your mother would treat Asa-kun so well…"

Hearing that, Ran also suddenly felt something was strange. She was very familiar with her mother's personality. She always treated outsiders with a formal, professional demeanor, and her attitude toward relatives was neither overly humble nor overly enthusiastic. Even in front of her own biological daughter, she never displayed such intense, outward emotional fluctuations.

However, this kind of emotional fluctuation seemed to happen often in front of Asa… And to her, Asa should just be her boss's child, right?

Once she started thinking about it, everything seemed suspicious. However, Yukiko didn't give her a chance to delve deeper, pulling her into the auditorium.

....

Art Club.

The Sawamura mother and daughter had fallen into a brief, awkward atmosphere after Asa left that morning.

Eriri had personally witnessed what happened that morning, but she had to pretend she didn't know. Yet, every time she looked at her mother's pretty face, the deeply imprinted image of her ahegao automatically popped into her mind. Added to the fact that she herself harbored impure thoughts toward Asa, she was torn: Should I condemn her, or offer congratulations? She didn't know how to face Sayuri.

Sayuri knew her daughter had witnessed everything that morning, but she could only pretend she didn't know. She was especially conflicted because she vaguely sensed that her daughter might have a crush on Asa-kun, which made it even harder to decide. She didn't know how she would face Eriri or how she would treat Asa-kun if she exposed everything. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

It wasn't until she realized the school festival performance stage was about to start.

"Eriri, let's go watch your school's student performance," Sayuri said casually. She thought that watching a performance might alleviate the atmosphere and help Eriri forget about the incident sooner.

"Ah, yeah, watching is fine…" Eriri nodded, avoiding Sayuri's gaze. Similarly, she hoped that maybe there would be an interesting program on the stage that could help her forget her worries.

The Sawamura mother and daughter thus headed toward the auditorium.

....

"Mom, the school festival performance seems to be starting. Do you want to go watch?" Miko looked at the direction the crowd was moving and turned to her mother beside her.

The Yotsuya mother and daughter had spent the entire morning touring almost all of Shuchi'in High School's festival. Thanks to their bodies being reinforced by Asa, they were barely tired after a morning of walking. It was completely worth the price of admission.

"Let's go watch." Mrs. Yotsuya nodded. "After watching, we'll go support Asa-kun one last time… buy a serving of takoyaki, and then head home."

Miko nodded in agreement after hearing her mother. "Asa-kun's takoyaki really is delicious!"

With that, Miko led Mrs. Yotsuya toward the auditorium. However, she didn't notice her mother's slightly flushed face beside her. In Mrs. Yotsuya's opinion, the takoyaki wasn't the only delicious thing at Asa-kun's stall.

....

Faculty Office.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who finally had a brief half-hour break, lay in her office, looking listless. A whole morning of non-stop work had exhausted a good deal of her energy.

"If only I could be sleeping with Asa-kun right now…"

Now, it's fantasy time.

However, she recalled that every time she held the little shota, her physical fatigue would completely disappear. In Shizuka's opinion, Asa was the existence that could be described as: "Forget eating a bite, even smelling him can prolong life!"

"My hidden attribute is indeed a shota… no, it should be an Asacon!"

Ever since Asa appeared in her life, she initially thought she was a hidden shotacon, but later realized she felt nothing for other shota. Shizuka finally understood: she wasn't a shotacon; only Asa was special. She was only an Asacon!

Ring!

The sudden sound of her phone made Shizuka's body jump slightly.

"Don't tell me there's more work…" Shizuka felt she was developing a phobia of ringing phones because of work.

But after answering the call and hearing Sawako's words, Shizuka's beautiful eyes instantly lit up. "Asa-kun is in the auditorium?"

"I'm coming to help right now!"

"Tired? No, I'm not tired! How could I be tired!"

"Wait for me, I'll be there right away!" Shizuka hung up the phone, her spirits high. She was practically sprinting out of the office in her high heels!

....

At the apartment.

The sudden blare of an alarm clock instantly woke up two of the three girls lying haphazardly on the large bed.

"An alarm clock?" Haruno, forced out of sleep, asked irritably.

"I don't know... I never set alarms!" Toyomi rubbed her sleepy eyes, her tone also one of annoyance.

They looked at each other, then simultaneously glared at Chika, who was still sleeping soundly under the covers.

"Damn it. She set an alarm and didn't even wake up herself!" The two university students, already grumpy from being woken up, were instantly enraged. They quickly woke Chika up.

"Your alarm!"

Chika, still groggy, fumbled for her phone and turned off the alarm. Just as she was about to fall back asleep, she suddenly remembered something and bolted upright in bed.

"Oh no! The school festival performance!"

"I have to get on stage to play the piano!"
