Shizuka Hiratsuka would say it was the first time in her entire memory that she had cried so much, to the point of feeling like death
The burning pain.
"Shizuka, you can't blame me. I just figured having more variety in the future would be good for both you and me."
Sitting in her office chair, she moaned softly in his arms, beyond embarrassed. Rei Ao offered a near-pseudo-psychological comfort: "Don't worry, this is only difficult the first time. From now on, it'll get easier."
"You bastard agh!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka bared her white teeth, biting down on his shoulder.
For the first time, she attacked his most vulnerable spot, and he nearly couldn't take it. The burning pain was just the aftershock that followed.
Yet, oddly enough, there was a certain thrill to it.
But she was furious at how Rei Ao gave no warning before suddenly changing angles. She thought she might die there for a second. This jerk didn't even check her size, which was practically the force of a punch!
If she didn't have Rei Ao's protective blessing, she might've died on the spot from him going "all the way" right there in the office.
Then the news would break, and people would gossip about her for a lifetime.
"Heh."
Allowing Shizuka, who was clinging to him, to bite his shoulder, Rei Ao remained unmoved.
She was angry on the surface, but she couldn't bring herself to really hurt him, so her bite didn't have any real force.
Naturally, it wasn't possible for her to injure his shoulder.
After a while, Shizuka released her bite and glared fiercely at him. "You jerk, can't you be a bit more self-aware?!"
"Heh heh, who do you think I am? I can clean up everything in a flashmuch tidier than a simple comb."
What he said was true
But it was a truth that left Shizuka feeling humiliated. She recalled how, right before they started, there had been an instant of coolness, which was apparently the "cleaning" Rei Ao referred to.
Just talking about this made her feel like ants were crawling all over her. Her pretty face turned as red as if it were being steamed, and any further discussion might've made her emit steam. Her mortified eyes glistened with tears.
"So what am I supposed to do now? It hurts to walk, it hurts to sithow am I supposed to get through class?"
"Class?"
Rei Ao grinned.
"After all this, you still want to go teach? Maybe just stay here and let me train you further!"
"Wait!"

Chapter 399: Full Body Massage?
"Sorry to bother you again!"
After school, Mafuyu Kirisu arrived at Rei Ao's home with Fumino and Rizu.
Fumino and Rizu were both looking very serious, ready to study in earnest.
"Why do you both seem so solemn today?"
Rei Ao noticed their tension, which was quite different from usual.
Mafuyu Kirisu stretched her limbs, looking tired as she explained, "It's almost time for the monthly test. They're anxious."
"I've already told them their progress is good, but they can't help being nervous."
Fumino Furuhashi wore a stern face. "Because this test is very important for me."
It was, in the truest sense, a pivotal moment that might force her to abandon the sciences entirely.
"Me too."
Rizu Ogata adjusted her glasses.
"So I have to work extra hard this time."
"I see. Well, do your best."
Almost reflexively, Rei Ao reached out and patted Rizu Ogata's head to encourage her.
""
That action made all three of them react with surprise.
Mafuyu Kirisu narrowed her eyes, thinking, Since when have those two gotten so close?
Fumino Furuhashi's gaze sharpened, reinforcing her suspicion: As I thought, they're involved!
But since she had to concentrate on preparing for the monthly test, she couldn't afford to let her mind wander and stop the possible bad chemistry from developing between them.
She figured it would be best to wait until after the monthly test.
Surely their relationship wouldn't escalate too quickly in just a few days right?
Meanwhile, the one being patted on the head, Rizu Ogata, blushed and lowered her eyes.
Rei Ao realized he had likely gotten into the habit of "head-patting" today after pushing Hiratsuka-sensei too far earlier, so he was unconsciously doing this more intimate gesture.
But seeing as Rizu hadn't resisted, he simply withdrew his hand calmly.
He then turned to look at Mafuyu Kirisu.
"Kirisu-sensei, if you're tired, you can go home and rest. These two will be fine here on their own."
"Eh? How did you know I was so tired?"
"Heh, you must be joking. You're wearing your exhaustion on your face, Kirisu-sensei. Probably anyone could see it."
Fumino nodded. "Yes, it's obvious at a glance."
"And Kirisu-sensei keeps kneading her shoulders," Rizu added, adjusting her glasses.
Her fatigue was pretty evident.
However, it was different from Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had just been "released" (in mind and body) after an intense midday with Rei Ao and then sent home.
Mafuyu Kirisu's fatigue came from real work. You could tell by how she sometimes rubbed her shoulders.
"Sigh It's nearly time for the monthly test. I have to plan lessons, teach, and keep watch on students' reviews, so it's definitely more tiring than usual," Mafuyu said, resigned.
After all, it was part of her job.
"But it's fine. I'm only staying here for an hour, like before."
Mostly because there were more people here.
Not only Fumino and Rizu, but also Futaba and others sometimes joined in, making it warm and lively.
She'd gotten used to the bustling atmosphere for a while now, and going back to an empty apartment felt dull.
"In that case, do you need me to massage your shoulders for you? You keep rubbing them, and it doesn't look easy to manage on your own."
"Sure."
Mafuyu, who was troubled by her shoulder stiffness and found it hard to rub them properly, agreed without much thought.
Rei Ao stepped behind her.
He set his hands on her shoulders.
As soon as he began to knead
"Hsss!!"
Mafuyu sucked in a sharp breath.
"Rei Ao, you're so strong!"
"Kirisu-sensei, I'm barely using any force," Rei Ao said wryly.
"Then why does it hurt so much?"
"Obviously because your shoulders are way too tense."
He tapped them lightly.
"They're stiff as a board."
Er
Mafuyu was momentarily speechless.
"Is is it really that bad?"
Actually, she'd noticed herself.
Every day, it was either standing for too long or sitting for too long, and her whole body felt sore.
Especially her shoulders, like she was weighed down by a thousand poundsjust so heavy.
"Kirisu-sensei, let me be quite honest. Yours might be the stiffest shoulders I've ever seenworse than Hiratsuka-sensei's."
"Hiratsuka-sensei?"
"That's right. Today, I gave Hiratsuka-sensei a full-body massage. She praised my technique a lot. It's very effective for relaxing stiff muscles."
Of course, Hiratsuka-sensei's body not only lost its rigidity and turned soft, but also managed to release all her pent-up frustration at the same time.
Hearing this, Maiwho was not far awayrolled her eyes.
Sure, his massages could relax the mind and body, but they were exhausting in a different sense.
"No wonder we didn't see Hiratsuka-sensei this afternoonshe must have gone for a massage, huh."
Mafuyu's eyes lit up.
"If even Hiratsuka-sensei was full of praise, can I try it too?"
"Absolutely."
Rei Ao glanced at the living room couch, which was already quite full.
So he suggested, "Because a full-body massage requires lying down, let's go to the guest room."
"Alright."
They both stood.
"Ahem!"
Before they left, Mai coughed twice, giving Rei Ao a sharp stare.
The chat group lit up:
Sakurajima Mai: "@Rei Ao, you're not going to do anything questionable with Kirisu-sensei, are you?"
Rei Ao: "What are you imagining? It's just a massage."
Sakurajima Mai: "It better be!"
Stella: "What's going on here?"
Rei Ao: "Stella, my dear princess, how are you feeling these days?"
Stella: "Ugh, what do you mean 'my princess'? You're so annoying~"
That classic tsundere attitude. She spoke as if she disliked it, but her blush and shy smile were unmistakable.
Stella: "Hmph! There's nothing wrong with my bodyI'm totally healthy."
Though earlier, she'd been in trouble. Her first time was so rough she could barely walk afterward.
She'd finally almost fully recovered, aside from occasional tingling in certain places.
But another major problem remained: it was very awkward facing certain people in the group with whom she'd already "been very frank."
Stella: "By the way, Mai was just saying somethingwhat's going on?"
Rei Ao: "Nothing. I'm just helping a teacher relax her stiff body through a massage."
Misaka Mikoto: "What's so noteworthy about that?"
Sakurajima Mai: "Heh heh."
Sakurajima Mai: "Well, let's add the following conditions: The teacher is a young, pretty woman, with fair, supple skin, a curvy figure, wearing black stockingshow does that sound?"
Misaka Mikoto: "???"

Chapter 400: Full Body Massage that can lead to something...
After Mai Sakurajima's explanation, everyone understood her concerns.
After all, the person Rei Ao was massaging was a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged teacher in black stockings. In that situation, wouldn't it be hard for something not to happen right away?
And this was Rei Ao, no less!
Megumi Kato: "But didn't Rei Ao-kun already spend the entire afternoon with Shizuka-sensei today?"
Miko Yotsuya: "Huh?"
Mikoto Misaka: "Is he some kind of beast?!"
Mai Sakurajima: "No, Megumi, you've got it wrong. It wasn't Shizuka-sensei; it's Kirisu-sensei."
Mai Sakurajima: "Her two students have been coming to my place for extra lessons lately, and Kirisu-sensei comes along too."
Megumi Kato: "Oh, I see. Sorry, I misunderstood."
Mikoto Misaka: "Misunderstood? Don't you think that's even worse?"
Miyuki Shiba: "Worse in what way?"
Mikoto Misaka: "Well, if he's already gone after one teacher, he's definitely going for the second!"
"Would Rei Ao-kun really make a move on Mafuyu-sensei?"
Seeing everyone's discussion, Rizu Ogata suddenly lost the will to continue studying. At that moment, Rei Ao and Mafuyu Kirisu had already headed into the guest room, leaving the door slightly ajar.
"How do we do this, exactly?"
Mafuyu Kirisu had never experienced a massage before.
"Just take off your jacket and lie down on the bed."
"Oh, okay."
She did as instructed, lying down flat.
Mafuyu felt a bit shy about having her back turned to someone like this.
"Do you want me to massage from top to bottom, or bottom to top?"
"Um, top to bottom, I guess."
She picked one at random.
"All right."
Rei Ao started with her shoulders.
In truth, everyone in the chat group was worried for nothing. He really was just planning to give her a massagehe had no other weird ideas in mind.
However, a full-body massage can still have some surprising effects.
At first, Mafuyu only felt pain. Her shoulders were way too stiff. Ordinary massage alone couldn't fully loosen such tight muscles. You'd normally need a complete essential oil massage, at least. But Rei Ao neither knew how to do that, nor would Mafuyu likely agree to it.
So he tried another approach. He infused his fingertips with a small amount of magical power, gently and imperceptibly improving Mafuyu's physical condition. As the massage went on, it didn't take long for Mafuyu to feel a warmth spreading through the soreness of the pressure. She looked pleasantly surprised.
"Rei Ao, your massage really seems effective. My shoulders feel warm and a bit more relaxed~."
"Of course it helps. Your muscles have been tensing up from long periods of sitting or standing. Now that they're loosening, it's only natural you'd feel a lot better."
Rei Ao smiled. "Shall I continue, then?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Mafuyu Kirisu was now fully confident in Rei Ao's massage skills.
He pressed on.
The magic flowing into her body gradually softened her rigid muscles. Mafuyu's face showed increasing relief.
"Whew~ this feels so nice~"
She blurted her thoughts out without realizing it, then remembered Rei Ao was still there.
"Kirisu-sensei, don't worry about it," he said.
"A proper massage really does relax your entire body."
Mafuyu's cheeks went pink. "Uh, no, I I'm fine."
"Is that so?"
Rei Ao gave a faint grin. "Then your shoulders are done, Kirisu-sensei."
"Oh, okay."
But suddenly, Rei Ao's hands moved downward.
"Next is your waist."
He set his hands on Mafuyu Kirisu's waist for a new round of massage.
"!!!"
Mafuyu's eyes opened wide. This was a completely different sensation from her stiff shoulders. Every press felt like a faint electric current stimulating her muscles, so intense that she almost cried out. Luckily, she stifled it.
This isn't good!
The stimulation kept building. Though highly effective, she absolutely couldn't continue like this. She had to stop him!
"Rei Ao, I"
She'd just started speaking when Rei Ao increased the pressure.
"Wah!"
She totally lost control of her voice, her toes in those black stockings curling.
"What's wrong?"
"N-nothing. Your massage is good, but"
Even while blushing, Mafuyu still acknowledged his technique.
"If that's all right, then."
Rei Ao lifted his hands.
Mafuyu thought the massage was over and breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next second, she was stunned. Rei Ao had no intention of stopping.
"However, that's not enough. Kirisu-sensei, your body is unbelievably stiff; I need to apply more force."
You could say Mafuyu's muscle rigidity was even worse than Shizuka-sensei's. It seemed being a teacher was indeed tough.
"What?"
"For instancelike this."
Mafuyu Kirisu narrowed her eyes. She looked back to see Rei Ao pressing down on her back again.
"Hiss!!!"
She finally understood the meaning of painful pleasure. Just that one press seemed to reinvigorate her body, which had become stiff from all those hours sitting or standing.
And it wasn't the end, just the start of another round of massage.
So a massage can be this comfortable. She felt she was beginning to understand why so many people enjoyed foot massages.
