"...Ryo-senpai, it's your turn."
Kitahara Makoto passed through the field of flowers and returned to the park.
This time, the "transport" target was Yamada Ryo.
"Thank you, Kitahara-kun."
Yamada Ryo was expressionless, opening her arms and letting Kitahara Makoto pick her up.
It must be said that this Ryo-senpai was quite taciturn. Even when Kitahara Makoto held her in a princess carry, her expression remained calm, her eyes lazy, and there wasn't a hint of blush on her fair, jade-like cheeks.
"Nijika-senpai, Mai-senpai, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
Kitahara Makoto greeted them and walked into the field of flowers with Yamada Ryo in his arms.
Swish swish swish.
The moment they entered the field of flowers, countless aerial roots surged towards them, but they were completely unable to stop Kitahara Makoto's steps.
As Kitahara Makoto walked forward, his gaze involuntarily shifted downwards, landing on Yamada Ryo's stomach.
When she had fallen into the field of flowers earlier, Yamada Ryo's dress had already been torn off by the aerial roots. Now, she was only wearing Kitahara Makoto's shirt. When standing, it was fine; the shirt was large enough to be used as a dress. But now that Kitahara Makoto was holding her, the shirt was naturally not long enough, revealing not only her panties but also her lower abdomen.
When answering the questions yesterday, Kitahara Makoto hadn't looked closely. Now, upon closer inspection, he found Yamada Ryo's stomach surprisingly attractive.
Her skin was fair and her waist was slender, not to mention the clear line contours—what was that about?
That thing was an ab line, wasn't it?
And what was with those clearly visible abdominal muscles!
How did you, a girl with lazy eyes, radiating a lazy aura, who might even be poor enough to eat grass, manage to get abdominal muscles and an ab line!
However, speaking of which, black lace paired with a girl's ab line indeed looked quite good, making it hard to look away.
"...Does it look good?"
Yamada Ryo suddenly spoke, asking expressionlessly.
Kitahara Makoto subconsciously replied: "It looks good."
Yamada Ryo tilted her head and looked over: "Do you want me to give it to Kitahara-kun as a thank-you gift?"
Their eyes met.
Looking at the short-haired girl with a large 'Kuzu' character appearing on her forehead, Kitahara Makoto narrowed his eyes and agreed:
"It's a deal. Ryo-senpai, you have to keep your word."
Yamada Ryo: "…"
He who often walks by the river cannot avoid getting his shoes wet.
At this moment, the rampant Ryo had finally met her match.
The two quickly passed through the field of flowers.
Kitahara Makoto put down Yamada Ryo, rested briefly, and then turned to walk back again.
"Kind-hearted mister, hungry…"
"Scram."
Without hesitation, Kitahara Makoto walked past the silver-haired, red-eyed Beast Ear Girl and quickly returned to Nijika and Mai-senpai's side.
"Nijika-senpai, and Mai-senpai, who's first?"Looking at the two Bunny Girls in front of him, Kitahara Makoto's mood was quite complicated.
Twice he had foreseen the future, and both times the two Bunny Girls in front of him were his girlfriends. Unfortunately, happy times were always short-lived, and the scene of being backstabbed with a cleaver was even more unforgettable.
Keep your distance!
He must change the future of being backstabbed!
"Let Mai-senpai go first," Ijichi Nijika quickly said. "I'll stay for last."
Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly, not declining, and parted her pink lips to say:
"Then I'll trouble Kitahara-kun."
Although they had only been together for a short day, she already understood Ijichi Nijika's personality: an extremely strong sense of responsibility, always thinking about taking care of others, and even acting like a mother taking care of her daughter when dealing with Yamada Ryo… In short, she had a motherly personality.
"Mai-senpai, shall we go?"
Kitahara Makoto reached out and gently scooped Sakurajima Mai into his arms.
Unlike 'carrying' Hitori and the others, Kitahara Makoto was incredibly serious this time. One hand supported Sakurajima Mai's thigh, the other rested on the girl's shoulder, and he kept his gaze straight ahead, not lingering on the girl's snowy white shoulders or tempting cleavage. He was focused on being perfectly proper.
"…Kitahara-kun, why aren't you looking at me?"
Unexpectedly, Sakurajima Mai was the first to break the silence.
This Bunny Girl wrapped her arms around Kitahara Makoto's neck. Because of the close distance, Kitahara Makoto could even clearly smell the faint fragrance on her. She hadn't bathed for several days, yet he didn't know why she had such a body scent… Perhaps she was truly 'marinated' in it.
Unlike her previous coolness and aloofness, Sakurajima Mai's eyes were noticeably more lively now, and her voice was inexplicably a little playful:
"You're so stiff. I won't eat Kitahara-kun, you know."
You won't eat me, but one day in the future, you'll backstab me with a cleaver!
Kitahara Makoto said solemnly, "I'm scared."
"Eh?" Sakurajima Mai paused slightly, tilting her head. "Scared of me?"
"That's right, the Bunny Girl is too cute," Kitahara Makoto still looked straight ahead, complaining, "I'm worried I won't be able to control myself, commit an unforgivable sin on impulse, and then spend the rest of my life pedaling a sewing machine in prison."
"I see," Sakurajima Mai's expression was normal. "Being so cute that it makes people commit crimes, it's quite troublesome for me too."
Kitahara Makoto: "…Mai-senpai, shouldn't you be more modest?"
Sakurajima Mai: "Excessive modesty is hypocrisy, you know."
"Oh?"
Kitahara Makoto let out a soft 'oh' and lowered his gaze to Sakurajima Mai's face.
Although the light in the Otherworld was not bright, Kitahara Makoto could see clearly that the tips of this Bunny Girl's ears, as white as jade, were now tinged with a blush, and even her fair, jade-like cheeks had a rosy flush.
"…Mai-senpai, are you blushing?"
"I'm not!"
Sakurajima Mai denied it immediately.
Kitahara Makoto recalled the scenes from the future timeline and couldn't help but complain, "So… Mai-senpai is actually the high-attack, low-defense type, aren't you?"
"…"
Sakurajima Mai bit her lower lip hard, her bright, clear eyes simultaneously enduring shyness and glaring at him. It had to be said, the action was unexpectedly very cute.
"I've changed my mind now."
"Hm?"
"Originally, I intended to tolerate Kitahara-kun doing some excessive things out of gratitude for saving my life. But now, I think it's better to send Kitahara-kun to prison to pedal a sewing machine."
"Suddenly I feel so hurt."
"Kitahara-kun, don't look at me. Just being looked at by you makes me feel like my chastity will be taken away."
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility… cough cough."
Kitahara Makoto almost bit his tongue, finally swallowing the rest of his words.
The scenes of the foreseen future flashed in his mind; he almost said something very dangerous. Thankfully, he reacted quickly.
Take responsibility?
He might just lose his life if he wasn't careful!
After exiting the field of flowers, Kitahara Makoto simply dropped Mai-senpai onto the ground, then turned and left without a word.
He must maintain distance, absolutely not be tempted by the Bunny Girl's beauty!
"Kind-hearted mister…"
"Get lost. If you call me 'Kind-hearted mister' again, I'll feed you big bones."
