Chapter 1989 Relieving Anxiety

Thirty minutes later, no Ichihara Jun returned for vengeance. Either he chickened out or he switched his tactic and decided to just wait for me to leave the house. Whichever the case, that eased up my lesson to Koharu-chan.

I got to focus on instructing her and teaching her according to the lesson plan Ayu and I created.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

On top of the usual set exercise, I had her run on a treadmill, draining her of her stamina. Then while she was recovering, I lectured her about the different stances before letting her try them out.

She was left-handed so she quickly picked up the southpaw stance.

From there, I had her keep it up for a prolonged duration while I circled around her, correcting her form.

While we were in this lesson, Ichihara-san who had nothing to do but pace around their house kept on checking on us.

I lost count after five. Each time she would show up, she’d stay for a few minutes, watching her daughter then look at me worriedly as if she was already praying for my safety against Ichihara Jun.

In response, I kept trying to reassure her and ask her to relax but to no avail.

She kept getting anxious that she probably already downed a whole teapot and gone to a few bathroom breaks.

Another thirty minutes passed like that.

After leaving for the nth time, I listened to her frantic footsteps that continued to pace near this room. For sure, she’s going to enter again after five minutes. As I’ve already tried stopping her and calming her down, it’s already futile to do so again

Koharu, who was throwing her fist at the mitts paused and giggled, “Onoda-sensei, can we take a break?”

“Oh. Sure. Drink something and rehydrate yourself.”

Koharu shook her head, “No. I’m not tired yet. You keep looking at the door, sensei. You’re concerned for mom. I’ll do something. Wait here.”

With a hint of playfulness in her voice, Koharu raised her arm, gesturing for me to take off her gloves for a moment.

Well, she’s not wrong with her assumption but what is she going to do? She can’t just reprimand her mother, right?

In any case, I figured out I also needed a break. I have to check my phone. I have to warn Marika not to come here today. She should still be with Sena but I couldn’t be certain that she wouldn’t return home soon and join us again here.

If Ichihara Jun truly opted to wait for me to leave, he wouldn’t miss Marika coming here. He might intercept that girl and make things more troublesome for us.

“Alright. Come back. Still, hydrate yourself before returning. I’ll teach you something you can use against your cousin.”

“Understood, sensei! Hehe.” Koharu laughed like a gremlin as she tottered towards the door.

As soon as she exited the room, I heard their voices spilling into the room.

“Y-yes. I’m sorry for the trouble, sensei.”

“No problem. I asked Koharu-chan for this.”

I said that because Koharu kept winking at me. She probably wanted me to take the credit. I don’t know what she’s trying to accomplish here but it’s probably harmless.

“I... I see. It must have been distracting.”

With shame once again occupying her face, Ichihara-san lowered her head.

At least she’s aware, right?

I approached Ichihara-san and moved behind her.

Before she could express her surprise, my hands landed on her shoulders and I started massaging them.

“You’re too tense, Ichihara-san. Let me help you relax. Also... Koharu-chan, can you bring me your mother’s gloves? Bring yours as well.”

“Yes, sensei!”

The girl obediently sprinted to the corner where the gloves were located. On the other hand, Ichihara-san’s tense body gradually straightened before slowly loosening up.

By the time Koharu returned with the gloves, Ichihara-san was already breathing ruggedly after releasing all the tension in her body.

My hand slid to her back before eventually settling on her waist, grasping her naked skin. Well, it’s not anything sexual. I was just supporting her body, preventing her from slumping down.

Upon noticing that, Ichihara-san let out another sigh before glancing behind her to look at me, “T-thank you, sensei. I’m alright now.”

“Mhm. That’s good. Give me your hand, Ichihara-san.”

“Eh? What?”

“I mean, I’ll help you wear these.” I grabbed the gloves that Koharu brought and lifted it in front of us.

Really, this woman, what is she misunderstanding there? Luckily for her, Koharu failed to notice her flustered expression. Looks like she’s already mentally exhausted.

Is it okay to push her physically too? I don’t know. But we don’t have that much of an option.

After I helped the mother and daughter duo wear their gloves, I resumed my lesson.

This time, I let Koharu hit the speed bag while I instructed her mother to complete the revised set exercise.
