[MHCISQD] Chapter 435: A Night with Hado Nejire

"Invest? You?!"

Glancing at Hado, Renault couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Your savings, besides supporting your family, haven't they all been spent on food? Thinking of investing now?"

"Why not?" Hado tilted her head, expressing dissatisfaction. "I still have two years until graduation! I can definitely save enough money to invest in these two years!"

"You..."

Renault spoke halfway before turning off the hairdryer and then directly pulling her into his arms.

"If you want to invest, do you really want to invest that much?"

Leaning against Renault's chest, Hado said with a smile, "Yup, I want to invest, with my own ability of course!"

"Alright, I'll see how you perform. If you end up not investing anything, you might have to work for me."

"Hmph, just wait and see." Holding Renault's hand, Hado looked confident.

"Oh, the facial mask's time is up; wait for me a moment."

Leaving Renault's embrace, Hado hurried to the bathroom to remove the facial mask and check her skin.

After a while, she came out and sat on his lap, hugging him.

"Nee, Renault, how about not leaving today?"

Looking at Hado's slightly blushing face, Renault naturally knew what she was thinking.

Confirming this relationship was a result of careful consideration on his part, coupled with her sudden confession after graduation.

During this time, Renault had been at school, while Hado, having officially graduated, had been busy with Ryukyu, learning more experiences. The two of them hadn't had much time together.

This time, although they met under unexpected dangerous circumstances, it was clear that Hado didn't intend to let this opportunity slip away.

Smelling the fragrance of the shower gel on his senpai, Renault's hands mischievously wandered under her robe.

Looking at her even more rosy face, he finally answered, "You've booked a room for me. If I really leave, you'd probably go crazy, huh?"

"Hmm, as long as you know."

After saying that, Hado held down Renault's misbehaving left hand and twisted her body.

"It's still too early, don't... not at this moment!"

Usually carefree and lively, Hado appeared shy and embarrassed, just like any regular girl in moments like these.

However, Renault obviously had no intention of letting her go so quickly. Holding her body, he pressed her onto the sofa.

Watching her fair shoulder revealed by the loose robe, he restrained his desire to go further and just held her, playing some small games between a couple.

After about fifteen minutes, there was a knock on the door, and both of them immediately sat up.

Renault went to open the door, while Hado quickly tidied up her appearance.

Opening the door, Renault finally saw Ryukyu.

"Finished reporting everything?"

Ryukyu wasn't too surprised by Renault's presence here. As she walked inside, she casually replied, "Yeah, submitted video records and some audio logs, went through the whole process. The research facility is crucial, so things got a bit complicated. Fortunately, we were the ones who eventually figured it out among all the investigators."

"Anyone else involved?"

"It's a serious matter, so five offices were assigned to investigate. Luckily, it was us. If it were another office, the damage would probably be severe." Ryukyu still shivered at the memory of those Kaijin and the Shocker Combatmen.

Hado, with her arm around Ryukyu, grinned and said, "Well, now that the mission's done, let's not dwell on it. Ryukyu, this hotel has a top-notch hot spring service. Let's try it tonight and relax!"

"Yeah, definitely need to unwind."

Nodding, Ryukyu looked at Renault. "How about a drink tonight?"

"With pleasure."

Late at night, after soaking in the hot spring and having a few drinks, Ryukyu, thoroughly relaxed and quickly fell asleep as soon as she entered her room.

Meanwhile, both Renault and Hado showed restraint, not drinking too much, and far from getting drunk.

Because there were more important things to come.

===

After a round of clapping of love, Hado, in a daze, rested in Renault's arms. It took a while for her to recover. This first time was a bit too thrilling for her.

Glancing at the time, it was almost 2 AM.

Fortunately, there was no hurry to return the next day, so a late sleep was not a problem.

Holding Renault, Hado suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Renault, if you resume your off-campus work study, what about the combat class you're teaching in Class 1-A? Kadoya Tsukasa-sensei is also not at school, so there'll be a need for a replacement, right?"

"No need to replace me." Renault said while playing with her long hair. "My teaching sessions are only two to three times a week. I can manage my time to be at school for half a day. As for today's training, I've already arranged for someone to take my place."

"Someone?" Tilted her head, Hado looked at Renault with a hint of understanding. "You're not thinking of letting..."

"Yeah..." Renault smiled. "Mikoto is always complaining about being bored. This time, I can give her something to do. I already discussed it with the school this afternoon. With her skills, there's no problem."

"She can indeed replace you, but I feel like those freshmen will have a tougher time than before."

"It's not a bad thing to bear a bit more when you're young."

"Hehe, talking as if you're so old." Biting Renault's jaw, Hado blushed. "Renault, I've rested enough. How about... another round?"

===

The next afternoon, U.A.

Before class, everyone in Class 1-A knew that Renault had once again been granted permission for an off-campus work study and hadn't returned since yesterday. They also understood that he wouldn't be leading today's combat class.

"Finally, things might be a bit easier."

"Yeah, Renault-senpai's training is just too intense!"

"I've been wanting a break from that madness."

As the Class 1-A students gathered at the training ground before Theresa arrived, they discussed in hushed tones.

Soon, Theresa arrived, and observing the relaxed expressions of the students, she couldn't help but smirk a bit.

"Today, Renault indeed doesn't have time for class."

There was a brief pause, making those who were celebrating moments ago instantly tense.

"But..." As expected, here comes the twist.

"But Renault has already arranged for someone to substitute for him in today's class. So, each and every one of you, don't think you can escape this."

Just as Theresa finished speaking, a rush of wind came from above, and a dark figure descended in front of everyone.

With long hair, dressed in black, and bearing an uncanny resemblance to Renault, the figure looked at the group and sneered.

"Look forward to today's game, rookies."
