Chapter 184 Mahiru’s Awakening (Additional update)
The next day, as soon as it was light, Xia Sheng opened his eyes.
He slept very little last night, but when he woke up, he felt refreshed.
It was as if my whole being had been elevated.
After all, he has grown up, matured, and become a real man.
He turned his head and saw an extremely cute face, with fair skin, delicate features, and a touch of baby fat.
However, there were two clear tear tracks on her cheeks.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, but a smile played on her lips, her expression radiating happiness and peace.
Xia Sheng just looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Shiina Mahiru's eyelashes fluttered, and the next second, she opened her eyes.

She seemed still dazed, blinking repeatedly until her vision gradually cleared.
The first thing that catches the eye is Xia Sheng's face, which is all too familiar.
"Xia Sheng...?" She paused for a moment, a little confused.
Why did I see him the moment I opened my eyes?
"You're awake? Do you want to go to bed earlier, or maybe ask for a day off?"
"A request for leave... what do you mean... hiss!" Shiina Mahiru was about to move when she suddenly gasped.
The discomfort and pain immediately reminded her of what had happened last night.
She froze, her face instantly turning bright red, as if it were about to bleed.
"Hehe, you remember now?" Xia Sheng laughed heartily upon seeing this.
"You're still laughing!"
Shiina Mahiru quickly pulled the blanket over her head, then punched Natsuo's chest, but she had no strength at all.
"Are you sure you want to do this? It's all just smells, isn't it?" Xia Sheng reminded him.
"You...it's all your fault!" Shiina Mahiru poked her head out again, glaring at him shyly.
Her brows radiated a bright and charming beauty, yet her still youthful appearance created a striking contrast.
It combines cuteness and charm seamlessly, making it extremely alluring.
"You can't blame me for this. How could I possibly stand it when you were like that?" Xia Sheng cried out, accusing himself of being wronged.
"You...you can't work that hard, can you?"
Shiina Mahiru felt unbearably embarrassed and agitated whenever she recalled what happened last night.
Why was she so impulsive last night?
She wasn't regretting it, but rather she couldn't believe she had been so courageous.
But the atmosphere last night really made her lose control.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault," Xia Sheng immediately admitted his mistake.
It's ridiculous to not act innocent after getting a good deal.
"Hmph~ That's just a perfunctory response~"
"So what do you want? I'll do whatever you say today."
"real?"
"real!"
"Then make me breakfast, I'm hungry," Shiina Mahiru said sweetly, pleading.
"No problem." Xia Sheng patted his chest confidently.
He'll still make a little something for breakfast.
"Then you should go quickly, I need to tidy up the room."
"Your health...why don't you rest for half a day first?"
"No, the smell is too strong, and the bed is a mess. How can I rest like this?"
"You can come to my room to rest."
"No way~ I can move around, it's not a big problem," Shiina Mahiru retorted stubbornly.
"Are you sure there won't be any problems?" Xia Sheng asked with some doubt.
"You were just gasping for breath."
"I just wasn't paying attention... I'm really fine!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, but don't push your luck."
"I know, get up quickly."
"OK."
Xia Sheng got up, pulled up the blanket, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of snow, delicate and seemingly transparent.
He didn't get enough of it last night.
Beside the snowy landscape, a plum blossom was in full bloom, and he felt a surge of pride the moment he saw it.
His one and only moment of brilliance was his doing.
"Don't look!"
Shiina Mahiru also noticed the flower. She was so embarrassed that she quickly pulled the blanket over herself.
"Okay, okay." Xia Sheng said indulgently, and then got out of bed.
Shiina Mahiru was too embarrassed to look at him, even though she had already seen him last night.
Afterwards, the thoughts are different; the awkwardness remains unless you get used to it.
But this is not something you can adapt to overnight.
"Wait a moment, I'll take a shower first and then make breakfast."
"good....
"Then be careful, don't be reckless," Xia Sheng said with concern.
"I understand, you should go now!" Shiina Mahiru urged him as she carried him on her back.
"Okay, okay."
Xia Sheng sighed, grabbed his clothes, and left the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
The bedroom fell silent. Shiina Mahiru remained motionless, staring at the wall with her wide eyes.
She was lost in thought.
My mind is clearly in a mess, but I don't know what's in the mess.
She still couldn't calm down about this.
But she showed no remorse.
There's no use in overthinking it; she should just let things take their course. She believed her decision last night was the right one.
"Hiss!"
Just as she was about to get up, Shiina Mahiru gasped again, feeling quite uncomfortable and in obvious pain.
She couldn't help but feel both angry and ashamed towards Xia Sheng. How could he work so hard, like an ox, without ever getting tired?
She frowned, but the corners of her mouth turned up as she slowly sat up.
Since she was all alone, she didn't need to hide anything anymore, so she simply lifted the blanket, revealing that she was completely naked.
The room was filled with moonlight.
She looked down at the bright plum blossom, her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but bite her lip.
After hesitating for a while, she finally got out of bed, barely able to stand, and walked with a limp.
She took out the scissors and went back to the bedside. The sound of scissors clicking filled the bedroom.
After quickly taking a shower, Xia Sheng went to the kitchen, looked at the ingredients, and unsurprisingly, there was nothing there.
After all, Shiina Mahiru hasn't been staying here for the past two days.
But there's still rice and red dates, so he can make red date porridge, which is also suitable for Shiina Mahiru to eat now.
After rinsing the rice and washing the red dates, Xia Sheng began to cook the porridge with great skill.
He used to live alone. Although he couldn't cook many dishes, he could still make porridge.
However, he never expected that coming to this world would be so useful, and the first one he ate was Shiina Mahiru.
This is truly wonderful.
While the porridge was cooking, Xia Sheng hummed a song and chatted happily with Yui Yuigahama.
He was asking her to help him ask for leave.
Shiina Mahiru is definitely not fit to go to school today, and he can't leave her home alone.
She had just given herself to him and was feeling insecure; he needed to be there for her.
As for the reason for taking leave, Natsumi didn't explain much, only saying that Shiina Mahiru wasn't feeling well and he needed to take care of her.
That's not entirely wrong.
After all, he was too embarrassed to explain the real reason.
He didn't need to hide it; this kind of thing would be discovered very soon, on Friday.
After Natsumi finished cooking the porridge, Shiina Mahiru tidied up the room. She changed into her usual home dress and walked out with a limp.
Compared to usual, she seemed unchanged, but her cheeks were rosy, and the charm between her brows was exceptionally captivating.
She has matured.
"It smells so good!"
"There's nothing special, just some red date porridge," Xia Sheng said.
"Then I'll have to look forward to it."
"Um."
The two then ate breakfast quietly, without exchanging words; the only sounds were the slurping of their porridge.
After finishing breakfast, Natsumi washed the dishes and sat down on the sofa in the living room with Shiina Mahiru.
The two leaned against each other, their fingers intertwined, doing nothing.
After a long while, Shiina Mahiru spoke up: "Natsuo, I think I can use magic now."
"I know," Xia Sheng nodded.
Last night, he heard the warning: Shiina Mahiru had awakened.
Like him, they became extraordinary.
"How did you know?" Shiina Mahiru sat up straight and looked at him curiously.
"I sensed it."
"How can you sense this?"
"Because you and I are the same kind of people, and besides, you are already my woman." Xia Sheng looked at her intently.
"Um...what?" Shiina Mahiru lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"Hehe~ Let me see what your abilities are first," Xia Sheng said, changing the subject.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Shiina Mahiru closed her eyes, sensing the power within her body. She could control it at will, like a switch, with the power at her command.
She turned on the switch.
Xia Sheng, who had been watching her, suddenly widened his eyes.
Visibly, Shiina Mahiru's appearance had changed. Her long, smooth, flaxen hair was now covered in dark gray, gradually spreading from the top of her head to the ends.
In an instant, her hair color turned silver-gray.
Not only her hair, but also the color of her long dress changed from pure white to deep black.
The moment she opened her eyes, her demeanor underwent a dramatic change, transforming from gentle to wicked.
She smiled slightly, a smile that was both charming and unrestrained.
"Mahiru, what are you doing...?"
"Mine, I think it's called a reversal."
"Reversal..."

It's definitely a reversal. If Shiina Mahiru was an angel before, then she is now a fallen angel.
