I think this pic is from ch.23 that Poopam translate in Yadech.com
As I said I will spoil bathroom scene of Ryu and Mayumi but before that I will describe first. This scene is after Ryu recover and go back to rest at his house with Mayumi. As Kittiya translate in AF is end of ch 16 in a book but this scene is in ch 23 so, it will skip many scene that important such as a scene that Ryu ask Mayumi to wipe his body and propose marriage to her again. So, if you dont understand my spoil you can ask me.
At Onizukas home (ch 23)
Mayumis car comes back to home. Yazuo that nearest the window hear the voice and turn back to report Ryu
Doctor Takahashi is come back, Boss.
Ryu nod and wave his hand to chase all of member in his room out. Because he dont want Mayumi curious in his project that may meet often.
Will Onyabun practice sword this evening? Katsu ask because otherwise he will go to meet Taichi follow his order. Ryu quiet for a while and little nod to him.
Tonight I will persude Mayumi to practice with me, I dont want all of you corner me because I am not strong enough 4 bodyguards look to each other and laugh a little and Nobu answer him first.
No one dare to corner Onyabun. Because we all know you arent fully recover.
Thats it; I dont want anyone to sympathize me. Hurry to go out. He wave to chase his subordinate again and stand up to prepare to practice sword with a girl that he loves. And dont go practice room too, I dont want bodyguards all of 24 hours.
4 men laugh. After they separate Ryu come to downstairs for welcome Mayumi that just walk in and smile to greet him.
Tadaima. (Im back). Mayumi speak first.
Come back already? How do you do today? Are you tired?
No, todays easy. She answers and sends her bag to Fumiko to keep at bedroom.
If that so, Will we practice sword just a little? But if youre hungry.
Im not hungry. She denies and hurries to accept with happy face and hug his arm. Practice sword is better I want to exercise too. I dont practice for many days.
Ryu smile widely after he see cuteness of her and lead her out from house to practices gym that nows soundless because he order his subordinate dont take care of him this tonight.
Mayumi go in and open the light and change her dress. After she go out Ryu walk in oppose her. While wait him dress, she start to swing sword for warm her body. When he comes out, both start to practice same as ever.
In the end, Ryu ask her to test for 1 game. Though shes different weight and skill with him but she hurry to accept it.
I concede you 1 point.
Mayumi frown and want to deny but she rethink again and know her skill is very far from him though his body not fully recovers. So she nod and widely smile.
Ok. I want to know I can get more 1 point from you or not.
Her eyes dance with excitement. When both kneel down to respect opponent, both eyes glance at each other. She grasp bamboo sword in her hands tightly and little walk while find an appropriate location and look for his off guard. Both tip of sword is lifted to waist in a same level. Both probe and test others concentration. Finally, Mayumi start first.
Arrgg
Sound crashing bamboo swords often many times. Because Ryu can protect her sword that intend to hit at his mask. When she miss, she still swing to hit his stomach but Ryu can guess her and lift sword to protect her many times. When she loss of rhythm she run out and turn back to attack again but when shes lifting sword to attack him Ryu shout loudly together with sword that hit on her mask
Meng! (Kendo mask) 1 point. He calls out his point.
Mayumi compress her lips with moody and try to concentrate at her sword again and look at Ryus attack way. When he moves again she can figure it and lift sword to protect in time.
But every time to lift sword to protect his attack, it make her arm start to hurt and know about different force. So she uses more quickly to dodge this attack.
A big sweat is break out from her forehead even has a cloth that cover under a mask. But Ryus attack is seriously and strongly more that Kendo that she ever practices. It makes her more tired.
Both eyes look at each other, no one avoid. Both determine to be a winner in this game and both want 1 more point to win.
Arrrg.. Mayumi start to attack agin, this time she hit at his stomach but Ryu sweep her sword away and turn back to defense. She rushes again to hit at his ankle and he can protect again. At that time, she turns her sword up and hit on his mask quickly while Ryu never think of that. Finally she calls out.
Meng! 1 point.
Ryu let sword down and little laugh while take off his mask.
Youre excellent. I dont think you use my little off guard to make a point. Ryu praise her. Mayumi also take off her mask, her face is red and full with sweat. Her lips start to smile that can win him, she look up to his face
Thank you for praise me, Its because of you yield for me.
Ryu look down to her, her red cheeks make his heart start to beat out of rhythm. So, he lifts his finger to touch it gently.
Youre really excellent. His voice softly same as his eyes that gentle while see Mayumi with loves and proud.
Her breath stumbles in her neck after she sees his eyes. May times that he look her like this and move far from her. Like shes forbidden thing that untouchable. But today her eyes show all of her love that give to him, she want him to know how much she think about him.
Ryu never miss eyesight that she look at him while slowly low his head, his hand lift up her chin to recive a kiss.
She expect. Slowly close her eyes and waiting But kiss warm lip touch like a butterfly wings that fly away and moves back again.
Dinner maybe ready now.
Mayumi open her mouth.. His voice hoarse until he coughs many times to speak other words.
You go up to shower first and we will meet at eating room. Ryu turn back to her suddenly and erase a picture of beautiful face that close eyes for wait a kiss but he cant start it. Because he know if he kiss her this time, it will be release his hungry and it will be a sexual force that naked, widely and rough more than gentle kiss like she expect for him.
Ryu. Her voices hoarse like try to stop crying. You hate me until you turn your face back like this dont you?
What! Ryu turn back suddenly What thing make you think like that? He groan because his think is opposite from it. That more violent every time until make him almost uncontrolled himself. If he still continuing last kiss, it will ending and make her scare his emotion more.
You move back every times were close, thats make me know. Her eyes turn red and try to take off an amour at her arm and stomach and try to go back to home. But strongly arms hug her from behind and stop her.
You misunderstand Mayumi-jung, I ever hurt you sometimes because of my emotion. And I feel mistake everytimes, I dont want to hurt you anymore because if I let it happen as I want, you will scare me.
She stand still confuse and understand.
Please wait for our marriages night and you will know I never think to separate you.
After finish speaking he loose his hug and walk into dressing room. He put down sword to shelf and walks through curtain to inner room. He stands still and take a deep breath many times to give him a times before to take of his cloths to cabinet quietly. He think Mayumi will understand his feeling and forgive many things that happen in many serious days ago.
Finally he naked and walk through inner door to bathroom and stop at a tap to wash his body and walk into a bathtub. He doesnt think to call someone to rub his back because he wants to be alone in weakness time like this.
But he heard a softly walk closer from his back.
Go back! I want to be alone.
That walks stop and Ryu order again.
Tell doctor, I will come back 30 minutes later.
Maybe. Its better if we come back together?
