"Wait—"
Kitahara Makoto finally remembered what he had forgotten.
Earlier at the onsen inn, Kita had a sudden accident, and he rushed over, completely forgetting about the Soyo-kun he was chatting with.
"Could I have been unfriended already?"
Kitahara Makoto felt a little guilty. Not replying after reading a message was indeed very infuriating.
He'd send a message to test the waters. If he was unfriended or blocked, he'd just have to bother the manager again.
"I'm very sorry, I encountered a very urgent emergency and just got home."
A few seconds after the message was sent, the status bar quickly changed to [Read].
"Good." Kitahara Makoto relaxed, "Looks like I haven't been unfriended. Soyo-kun, it seems you're destined to suffer tonight."
At the same time.
On the other side.
Nagasaki Soyo, lying in bed after her bath, looked at the message with an expressionless face.
"Heh, foolish man!"
"Are there still high school students who don't play with their phones for two or three hours now?"
"It's clearly just an excuse to string people along!"
"…"
Nagasaki Soyo took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, and her slender fingers quickly tapped on her phone: "Ah, I'm fine, Kitahara-kun didn't encounter any danger, did he?"
It's best if he gets hit by a dump truck and reincarnates into another world, that way Togawa-chan can come back to me!
Kitahara Makoto: "The matter has been resolved, I didn't encounter any danger… How about I recommend some games to Nagasaki-kun now?"
Nagasaki Soyo: "Then I'll leave it to Kitahara-kun."
Kitahara Makoto: "How old is your younger cousin now?"
Nagasaki Soyo: "Twelve, he's still an elementary school student, you know."
Recommending games to elementary school students?
Well, there's no question, of course, it's Elden Ring, Sekiro, and Ghost of Tsushima!
Elementary school students will definitely be very happy, get addicted, and find it hard to extricate themselves. In the end, they might even be able to help break their internet addiction!
(Speaking of which, Sekiro is truly a masterpiece, I love playing it, but unfortunately, I can't beat it…)
Nagasaki Soyo: "Hmm, they all sound like very interesting games… Um, Kitahara-kun, do you have time tomorrow? I haven't played games before, and I don't know anything, so could I trouble you to help me pick some out?"
The Tsundere Young Miss's thousand-layered scheme—
The topic chosen was the game field that boys are most interested in. After talking so much, sunk costs have already been incurred. At this point, if she issues an invitation, no boy would be able to refuse, right?
Kitahara Makoto: "…Sorry, I'm very busy tomorrow, I don't have time."
Bang!
Nagasaki Soyo clenched her fist and punched the pillow in her arms.
She was actually rejected?
Her plan was clearly interconnected and seamless, and he dared to refuse?
Infuriating!
Extremely infuriating!
After punching the pillow a few more times, Nagasaki Soyo vented her frustration, then bit her lip lightly and replied to the message:
"It's okay, after all, important matters come first… Then, Kitahara-kun, are you free the day after tomorrow?"
"Tsk~"
Kitahara Makoto raised his eyebrows slightly.
Whether it's Japan or China, girls aren't that proactive.
Now that the Tsundere Young Miss is inviting him so proactively, she definitely has ulterior motives.
Kitahara Makoto: "I don't know if I'll be busy yet. Let's talk about it the day after tomorrow."
This was the truth.
Even though ghost Senpai's father was returning, whether all problems could be resolved was still up in the air.
Nagasaki Soyo: "…"
Hardened, hardened.
Her fists were hardening.
If this guy dared to appear in front of her, she would definitely stomp on his face with her foot!
It was so hard for her to swallow her shame and invite him, only to be rejected repeatedly. Does she not have any dignity?
Nagasaki Soyo took a deep breath, her pretty face filled with murderous intent: "Alright then… We'll talk when Kitahara-kun is free. I'm going to sleep first."
"…"
The chat ended.
Kitahara Makoto glanced at the time, it was exactly 10:03 PM, so he found the late-night food videos he had just downloaded and saved, and shared them all at once with several girls.
It turned out that high school girls nowadays really don't go to sleep at 10 PM.
Within a few seconds, messages from the girls popped up one after another.
Togawa Sakiko: "Sending this kind of video in the middle of the night is a bit too much."
Kita: "Wow, so amazing! They all look super delicious!"
Takamatsu Tomori: "I saw roasted bugs, I want to eat them."
Gotō Hitori: "Th-that… Kitahara-kun, did you send the wrong message?"
Lastly, it was Nagasaki Soyo, who was just about to put down her phone.
"…I've already taken off my skirt, and you show me this kind of video?!"
Before clicking on the video, Nagasaki Soyo actually hesitated for a few seconds.
It was said that some boys would deliberately send some indescribable bad videos to girls late at night.
No way?
Could it be that the previous chat made Kitahara have a misconception, stirring up his desires, losing his rationality, and then wanting her to watch that kind of unsightly thing?
Nagasaki Soyo's heart rate quietly accelerated, her pretty face full of disdain.
Didn't want to watch.
If it were Togawa-chan's naked body, then fine, but a boy's stuff must be disgusting!
But… she had to watch.
This thing might be evidence. If it really was an unsightly bad video, she had to save it immediately as evidence, then give it to Togawa-chan tomorrow to expose Kitahara Makoto's ugly true colors!
Taking a deep breath, Nagasaki Soyo held her breath, half-expecting and half-nervous, and clicked on the video.
The next moment.
A mellow, deep male voice entered her ears:
"High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods…"
Nagasaki Soyo: "???"
I've already taken off my skirt, and you show me this kind of thing?
Sharing food videos in the middle of the night, are you even a man?!
Kitahara Makoto waited for a while, and seeing that the daily task status had changed to 'Completed', he quickly retracted the food video he had just shared: "Sorry, sorry, I accidentally sent the wrong message."
Miss Fallen Ojou-sama: "Don't send it wrong again in the middle of the night next time."
Kita Kita: "Eh eh eh, Kitahara-kun, don't retract it, share it with me again! The dishes in the video look so tempting, I can't suffer alone, I have to share it with friends to watch!"
Takamatsu Tomori: "Where can I buy roasted bugs?"
Gotō Hitori: "It really was sent wrong…"
After chatting with the girls for a bit, Kitahara Makoto exited the chat software and then opened the System.
[Daily Task: Midnight Poisoner]
[Task Description: Please send food videos to five people individually after 10 PM tonight, and ensure that they watch the video]
[Current Status: Completed]
[Task Reward: Your cooking skill level has permanently increased]
A realization related to cooking surged into his mind: what is 80% hot oil, what is hot pot cold oil, what is wide oil dissuasion… Kitahara Makoto already knew how to cook, and now he estimated he had reached the level of a professional chef.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
Cooking isn't difficult; the real trouble is the preliminary preparation of ingredients and the subsequent cleaning of pots, pans, and bowls. Kitahara Makoto still preferred to eat fast food outside.
"After a whole day of hard work, I've finally completed all the tasks…"
Kitahara Makoto straightened his back, full of anticipation.
As today's four daily tasks were all checked off as completed, a line of text popped up again on the game panel:
[Congratulations, you have completed all daily tasks today. You have received one lottery chance. Would you like to draw the reward now?]
"…Draw!"
