"You can still talk?"
Kitahara Makoto looked down at the red-haired girl.
Kita Ikuyo blinked her eyes, looking pitiful: "So I'm just old, not… bah bah, it's just that my body can't move, Kitahara-kun, hurry up and replenish my magic."
"Not only can she talk, she can also complain, so she seems to be in good condition." Kitahara Makoto half-squatted, turned to look at Bocchi-chan, and said gently, "Don't worry, Kita-san will be fine."
Bocchi-chan nodded tearfully: "Will Kita really be okay?"
"Don't worry, she'll definitely be fine." Kitahara Makoto said gently, "You get up first and let me examine Kita-san's body."
"Oh…"
Bocchi-chan obediently agreed, then got up and moved aside.
As everyone knows.
When a person squats down and then stands up, they usually support their knees with their hands to maintain balance, and Bocchi-chan was no exception.
However, at this moment, she was only concerned about Kita lying on the ground, completely forgetting that she was only wearing a loose white bathrobe. When she bent over and stood up in front of Kitahara Makoto, an indescribable gravitational wave instantly attracted Kitahara Makoto's attention.
So big.
The moon is so big tonight.
Kitahara Makoto even heard the sloshing sound of Slime in his ears.
Bocchi-chan really hid her true strength; this was definitely not the development a high school girl should have!
"Eh eh eh?!"
The Little Miss Anxiety was obviously extremely sensitive to others' gazes. Kitahara Makoto had only glanced, but the Little Miss Anxiety still noticed.
Gotō Hitori quickly stood up straight, her small face rapidly flushed at a visible speed, and then she frantically covered her bathrobe.
Kitahara Makoto coughed lightly, then turned to look at the Ghost-senpai next to him:
"Senpai, what's going on?"
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." The Ghost-senpai apologized timidly, "It must be because I possessed her for too long."
Kita Ikuyo: "Kitahara-kun, don't be so fierce, I agreed for Senpai to possess me."
Kitahara Makoto: "Don't talk when you're lying on the ground."
"…"
As he spoke, Kitahara Makoto took Kita Kita's right hand.
So cold.
Even though she was soaking in the onsen, the girl's skin was ice-cold, as if it had no temperature at all.
"How do you feel?"
Togawa Sakiko asked softly from the side.
"Hmm, I feel like something warm is flowing into my body…" Kita Ikuyo blinked her eyes, describing the sensation, "It's warm and very comfortable…"
Not long after, Kita Ikuyo happily shouted:
"My fingers seem to be able to move."
"That's good."
The few of them collectively breathed a sigh of relief; being able to recover was the most important thing.
A moment later.
"…Hahahaha, full health restored!"
Kita Ikuyo cheered happily, her hands and feet finally able to move freely. As she spoke, she tried to get up, but when she did, she realized her body was still a bit uncoordinated. She swayed, and in a gasp, subconsciously grabbed Kitahara Makoto's bathrobe.
Whoosh.
Kitahara Makoto's bathrobe was pulled directly to the ground.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The three girls widened their eyes, subconsciously looking over, and then their three pretty faces simultaneously flushed red.
"A, a large python…?!"
Kita Kita subconsciously murmured, followed by steam rapidly rising from the top of her head. She was so ashamed she wanted to die, and with a splash, she jumped into the onsen pool.
Kitahara Makoto could only say helplessly:
"Kita-san, can you please return my bath towel first?"
Kita Ikuyo then came to her senses, her small face crimson, and she quickly threw the bath towel in her hand over:
"S-sorry! I didn't do it on purpose!"
"Actually, I don't mind…"
Kitahara Makoto took the bath towel, wrapped it around his body, confident in his thick skin.
"Kitahara-kun, you can go back now!"
Togawa Sakiko's pretty face was crimson as she quickly said, looking elsewhere.
"…Then I'll go back first."
Kitahara Makoto nodded, reason quickly overcoming desire, and turned to leave.
"Phew…"
Hearing Kitahara Makoto's footsteps fade away, Togawa Sakiko covered her chest and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, she was really a little worried that Kitahara Makoto would act like a beast and turn into a werewolf… Such exaggerated things should only appear in manga, right?!
Shaking her head to dispel the images in her mind, Togawa Sakiko then noticed Bocchi-chan next to her:
"Eh, Hitori-chan… actually fainted?!"
At the same time.
Nagasaki Soyo was still waiting for the fish to take the bait.
One minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Three minutes passed.
"…Very good, I've noted this grudge!"
Looking at the avatar that showed 'read' on her phone but had no response, Nagasaki Soyo clenched her pink fist, her pretty face filled with murderous intent.
The message was read, but there was no reply at all. Infuriating, super infuriating!
There was nothing more to say about what happened next.
The four of them finished their onsen bath, left the onsen inn, and the Ghost-senpai disappeared directly, returning to Tsukinomori Academy.
Kitahara Makoto and the three girls walked in silence all the way to the Train Station. The three girls all lowered their heads and said nothing, the atmosphere quite awkward. Finally, they took the train and went home separately.
No words were exchanged along the way.
Kitahara Makoto sat on the train going back, always feeling like he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten until he got home.
After returning home, it was exactly 9:30 PM.
"The time is just right."
Opening his school bag, Kitahara Makoto took out the insects he had caught today, turned on the small sun heater used for winter warming, and began making insect specimens.
Not long after, the "Insect Book" quest was successfully completed.
"There's only one more quest left, and then I can get a gacha chance…"
Kitahara Makoto was invigorated.
[Daily Quest: Midnight Poisoner]
[Quest Description: Please send food videos to five different people after 10 PM tonight, and ensure that the other party watches the entire video]
"This quest is very simple, just a flick of the finger."
Kitahara Makoto picked up his phone, opened Niconico and began looking for food videos.
"Nice, it's you."
Kitahara Makoto quickly found the video he wanted.
After selecting the video, the next step was to share it with his friends.
As for whether the other party would already be asleep… Are you kidding? It's only 10 PM, what high school student would be asleep!
Kitahara Makoto opened his chat app and looked for today's victims.
"Bocchi-chan, Sakiko-san, Tomori-chan, Kita Kita, and the unusual Nagasaki Soyo… Exactly five people."
Among them, Bocchi-chan and Sakiko were added yesterday.
Kita Ikuyo was added by her proactively during a casual chat at Tsukinomori Academy this afternoon. The social butterfly girl lived up to her reputation.
Kitahara Makoto originally planned to share the last one with the manager of his part-time job, but now that Nagasaki Soyo proactively tried to get close, she became a better candidate.
