He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

"In theory, it should be more than enough, but... it will take time for your body to adjust."

"Do I still need to adapt?"

"Of course, Auntie's share of erotic power has been used up. Now, only Akita's and Nikaido Maki's shares remain. I need to refine their essence and put it into your body. I also need to constantly adjust and fine-tune it to allow your body to adapt. During this process, our bodies need to be in close contact and completely merge together..."

Cecilia's tone was very excited, and the patterns on the spider's abdomen began to shimmer.

I have a feeling that Cecilia was talking about that kind of "dual cultivation" technique.

"You mean you want to find a place to do it with me?"

"Correct."

"You wouldn't be thinking of me and then using the power of adaptation as an excuse to lie to me, would you?"

"No way~~ Oh dear, don't think about it so much, there's no time, let's hurry to the infirmary!" Cecilia said impatiently.

As for why the location was chosen to be the infirmary, the reason is simple: the infirmary has beds, and it's more comfortable to sit there.

After finishing his conversation with Cecilia, Shirakawa looked at Ako again.

"Yako, I have some urgent business to attend to and need to leave for a while. Why don't you go and meet up with Jackie and the others first?"

Although Ayako said she was fine, Shirakawa was still worried about her mental state.

With Jackie around, things should be a little better.

"Okay, Shirakawa, see you later?"

"see you later."

After seeing Ako off, Shirakawa went straight to the infirmary.

273. Gather, set off, bonfire party!

Sakura and Jackie arrived at the entrance of the sports warehouse.

A small sign hangs in front of the sports storage room that reads, "The paint is not dry, please do not enter."

Decorating during the school festival? That's impossible.

The two women felt that things were not so simple and that there must be some secret inside. They were about to push open the door.

Unexpectedly, the warehouse door was pushed open by the people inside first.

Maki, her face flushed, was seen carrying a rag and a bucket, about to walk out of the sports storage room.

Behind him, Nikaido was carrying a transparent garbage bag. The bag was filled with white stuff, seemingly all toilet paper and wet wipes.

"Sister, Nikaido?"

"Oh! Sakura!" The two exclaimed in surprise, greeting Sakura at the same time.

At the same time, he hid the rag and plastic bag behind his back.

This is clearly a sign that he has done something wrong.

"You guys...were you cleaning the sports storage room just now?" Jackie asked.

"Yes, just now, we ran into the PE teacher, and he asked us to help clean up." Maki racked her brains and made up a random excuse.

Cleaning the sports storage room for the school festival? What a stupid excuse she could come up with, especially considering she's a top student.

Nikaido silently complained.

Jackie clearly didn't believe it, and she asked Nikaido, "Is what Maki said true?"

"Ah, that's right, it's true. I'm exhausted after cleaning all day." Nikaido pretended to stretch.

There was nothing Nikaido could do but continue making up an excuse based on Maki's story.

Strangely, these mortal enemies, who are like oil and water, ended up cleaning the sports warehouse together during the school festival.

No matter what you think, something is wrong.

Sakura also felt that her older sister and the others were suspicious. Just as the two of them were about to go in to take a closer look, they were stopped outside by Nikaido and Maki.

"Jackie, Ayako, how is she? Is she feeling any better?" Maki quickly changed the subject.

"I've left it in Shirakawa's care."

"Wasn't it taken to the infirmary?"

“No, Shirakawa said he… knows some special psychological treatment methods that can alleviate Ayako’s symptoms,” Jackie replied.

"Shirakawa knows quite a lot." Maki put down the bucket. "We're almost done tidying up. Let's go take a look around the classrooms."

“Yes,” Nikaido echoed.

The more they try to cover it up, the more suspicious it seems.

Jackie and Sakura exchanged a glance, nodded, and, as if on cue, rushed inside together.

There was nothing unusual in the sports storage room, no wet paint, and the dusty little windows were open.

Only the cushion used for adjusting the height was damp, as if it had been soaked in something.

Sakura sniffed carefully; there was a faint fishy smell in the air.

A gentle breeze blew in through the small window above, quickly dispelling the fishy smell and replacing it with fresh air.

It seems there really is nothing unusual.

"See? We're just cleaning!" Maki said, pretending nothing was wrong.

But how could that possibly fool Sakura?

As sisters who grew up together, Maki can see through Sakura's lies, and Sakura can certainly see through Maki's lies as well.

Sakura dashed over and pounced on the mat. The moment her nose touched the mat, she immediately recognized the scent.

I've eaten it countless times, and I can attest to Shirakawa-san's delicious taste and Nikaido's distinctive scent.

"Did you two sleep with Shirakawa-nii?" Sakura asked.

Nikaido and Maki were immediately stunned, looking at each other, completely at a loss for words.

Nikaido's thoughts were still stuck on the time when he formed an alliance with Sakura to steal Shirakawa away.

Maki had just opened up to Sakura last night, but she was afraid that Sakura would find out and become unhappy.

She paired up with Nikaido solely because of her competitive spirit and jealousy; she wanted to surpass Nikaido.

Although in the end, I became immersed in desire as I did it...

"Don't treat me like a child!" Sakura shouted angrily. "Tell the truth, did you and Shirakawa-nii do it or not?"

Maki had never seen her sister angry with her before, and knowing she couldn't hide it from her, she could only nod.

When Nikaido saw Maki admit it, he realized there was no need for him to hide anything, and nodded in agreement.

Jackie's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

Have these two irreconcilable enemies already entered the multi-person combat phase?

Do they fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot?

"Now that you and Nikaido have both clashed with Shirakawa, how about we all get along well from now on?" Sakura asked.

When Nikaido and Maki are both present, they will most likely argue. Sakura has a good relationship with both of them in private, and she doesn't want to take sides with either of them. However, sometimes she has to choose between the two, which puts her in the middle and makes her feel quite uncomfortable.

So she wanted the two of them to get along well. As long as they put aside their past grievances, everything would be fine, whether it was about their future relationship or matters concerning Shirakawa-ge.

"I'm sorry, Sakura." Maki glanced at Nikaido and shook her head. "I still can't..."

"Why did you all do that kind of thing with Shirakawa-nii together...?"

“Sakura, as you know, I’ve always been strict with myself at school. I listen attentively in class, actively answer questions, and complete my homework diligently. I strive for perfection in everything, even my job as a disciplinary committee member. Although I’ve resigned from it now, I still work very hard to complete any job or task, all in the hope of getting into a good university, finding a good job, relieving my mother’s burden, and allowing my mother, you, and Shirakawa to live a happy life free from worries about food and clothing.”

"I know, sister."

"But this Nikaido, she does nothing, always sleeps in class, violates school rules and regulations, and sometimes leads those delinquents to fight. Everything she does goes against my wishes. A girl like her has no future. I hate her. I don't want her to be with Shirakawa. I want to win. I want to surpass her, whether it's her position in Shirakawa's heart or anything else..." Maki blushed and touched her flat chest and lower body.

Even the matter of Se Se is something they want to win.

“I don’t like you either,” Nikaido said. “You’re always so rigid and harsh, and you don’t know how to be tactful. You’re right, my grades are indeed terrible, and I’ve even ranked last in school several times, but so what? I like him, I like Shirakawa. Also, don’t make predictions about other people’s lives and futures. Even if I can’t find a good job, I can still support myself by working on a construction site.”

“School is a place to study hard and improve yourself, but you are just wasting your days in a daze.”

"So what? I can protect Shirakawa if he's in danger... Can you do that?"

"What can you protect? This isn't the Stone Age anymore. What can you do with all that muscle?"

"Is that not allowed? This is the result of my daily hard work in exercising and working out. Oh, by the way, my family also owns a ramen shop. If Shirakawa is with me, we can inherit the ramen shop. What can you offer Shirakawa?"

"What's so great about a run-down ramen shop..."

The two began arguing again, engaging in a heated verbal battle, each trying to hit the other's sore spot.

The grudges between delinquent students and disciplinary committee members cannot be resolved by a single act of lovemaking.

"Alright, alright, truce, truce," Jackie stepped between the two. "Don't argue on such a joyful day as the school festival. Talking about the distant future is meaningless. I think I've figured it out. You two look down on each other. But aren't you overlooking a crucial factor?"

"What factors?" the two women asked in unison.
