"Then I'm going in…"
Kita Ikuyo clenched her small fists, took a deep breath, and finally mustered the courage to step into the field of flowers.
The moment she entered the field of flowers, Kita's originally nervous gaze instantly became blank, staring blankly at the center of the field of flowers, then stiffly lifting her feet to walk towards it.
"She really couldn't last even a second…"
Kitahara Makoto sighed, exerted force with his hand, and quickly pulled Kita out of the field of flowers.
Verification successful.
As long as someone helps, it's entirely possible to pull out someone who has just strayed into the field of flowers.
"Kita, why are you crying?" Ijichi Nijika asked with concern, her eyes worried.
Kita Ikuyo sniffled, tears welling up: "I… I saw my great-grandmother…"
"…"
No time to mourn the deceased great-grandmother; now it's Kitahara Makoto's turn.
"Kitahara-kun, we're ready." Ijichi Nijika said softly, her expression serious.
Yamada Ryo: "You are chosen, go."
Kita Ikuyo: "Great-grandmother… My great-grandmother…"
The four girls stood ready.
Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo stood together, both grasping Kitahara Makoto's left arm, while Kita and Bocchi-chan held his right arm. If anything went wrong, they would immediately pull Kitahara Makoto out of the field of flowers.
As for Sakurajima Mai, she stood quietly to the side, acting as a lookout.
"...I'm going in."
Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, silently activated [Sage Time], and then stepped into the field of flowers.
Buzz.
The moment he stepped into the field of flowers, Kitahara Makoto felt a sudden inexplicable gravitational pull from the center of the field of flowers, and he involuntarily looked over.
The next second.
The originally empty center of the field of flowers, surprisingly, revealed a petite and exquisite… Beast Ear Girl?!
Upon closer inspection, this Beast Ear Girl was incredibly petite and exquisite, sitting in the middle of the field of flowers. She had beautiful silver long hair, and bright wine-red eyes. She was even wearing a proper maid outfit. From a distance, the Beast Ear Girl's small face was incredibly delicate and cute, her skin as white as snow and flawless, like a porcelain doll meticulously crafted by God, without a single flaw from head to toe.
"Hiss~"
Kitahara Makoto took a light breath of cold air.
What was going on?
Why did others see their great-grandmothers or deceased mothers, while he saw a Beast Ear Girl?
And a white-haired + red-eyed + beast-eared one at that?
The next second, a force suddenly came from his arm, pulling Kitahara Makoto directly out of the field of flowers.
"Kitahara-kun, are you alright?" Ijichi Nijika looked over anxiously, her eyes filled with worry, "After you entered the field of flowers just now, although you didn't walk towards the center, you suddenly froze. We… we were a little worried, so we pulled you out."
"I'm fine…"
Kitahara Makoto came back to his senses and couldn't help but look at the field of flowers again, but it was empty in the middle. The white-haired, red-eyed Beast Ear Girl from before had vanished without a trace.
"It's good that you're alright." Kita Ikuyo asked curiously, "Kitahara-kun, what did you see in the field of flowers?"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
A white-haired, red-eyed Beast Ear Girl, is that something he could say?
Definitely not.
If he said it, he would definitely be considered a pervert!
"I saw something incredible…"
Kitahara Makoto mumbled evasively, while pondering in his heart.
Clearly, this field of flowers was quite peculiar, capable of reading the deepest desires in a person's heart, then manifesting corresponding illusions to lure people deeper into it…
"Alright, I admit it."
"I am a white-haired, red-eyed, Beast Ear Girl enthusiast."
Kitahara Makoto admitted it frankly.
It was well-known that Chinese people were all white-haired, red-eyed enthusiasts on average. He was Chinese in his previous life, so having special preferences was normal and not strange at all.
"That White-haired Beast-ear Girl loli just now, every part of her fit my aesthetic. If I hadn't activated [Sage Time], I probably would have, like Nijika and the others, been mesmerized and gone deep into it…"
Kitahara Makoto exhaled lightly and looked at the girls: "Nijika-senpai, you can let go of me now. We've just verified that I can maintain conscious awareness in the field of flowers."
Ijichi Nijika's eyes were a bit worried: "But you just now…"
"I saw an incredible illusion just now, that's why I was spacing out." Kitahara Makoto said gently, "I'll prove it to you right now."
The proof was simple.
Kitahara Makoto stepped into the field of flowers again, and in the center of the field of flowers, a silver-haired, red-eyed Beast Ear Girl appeared once more. This time, she even spoke, her voice soft and sweet, full of a desire that made one feel pity:
"Good person… belly so hungry…"
However, this time, Kitahara Makoto directly ignored the Beast Ear Girl's existence.
Illusion!
It's all an illusion!
It's just a reflection of my inner imagination. How could there be such a cute Beast Ear Girl in the world!
"You see, I'm perfectly fine." Kitahara Makoto turned around and looked at the girls behind him, "I have to thank Nijika-senpai and Mai-senpai, I was able to stay conscious because of them."
Seeing this, the girls finally relaxed.
Kita Ikuyo cheered happily: "Kitahara-kun is indeed super amazing!"
Ijichi Nijika breathed a sigh of relief, a sweet, relieved smile appearing on her pretty face: "It's good that Kitahara-kun is alright."
Yamada Ryo tilted her head: "It seems Kitahara-kun is indeed not an ordinary person. The plan for physical amnesia needs to be revised."
You jerk! I just saw your body, how much of a grudge do you hold?!
"We can leave now." Kitahara Makoto turned and walked out of the field of flowers, stating his solution, "I'll carry you out of the field of flowers. As long as your feet don't touch the ground, you shouldn't be affected… Who wants to go first?"
The girls looked at each other, and Ijichi Nijika quickly cleared her throat twice:
"Um, let Kita go first."
"I… I'll go if I go." Kita Ikuyo's small face flushed slightly, and she stepped forward without hesitation.
As a socially Apprentice girl, Kita's adaptability was far superior to ordinary girls, and she rarely got stage fright at critical moments.
"Then let's start with Kita."
Kitahara Makoto reached out and easily picked up Kita Ikuyo.
"Ah…"
Kita Ikuyo let out a soft gasp and quickly raised her arms, nervously wrapping them around Kitahara Makoto's neck.
Their eyes met.
The red-haired girl's originally fair and jade-like pink cheeks rapidly flushed at a visible speed, then she shyly averted her gaze.
Yamada Ryo tilted her head expressionlessly: "Kita is blushing."
"Bl-blushing is normal, right!" Kita Ikuyo looked away, her small face crimson, and couldn't help but retort, "When it's Ryo-senpai's turn later, she'll definitely blush too!"
It was her first time being princess-carried by a boy, how could she not blush?!
Yamada Ryo's tone was unwavering: "I won't blush."
Kita Ikuyo: "I don't believe you."
Yamada Ryo: "You forgot, I didn't blush even when my body was exposed before."
Kita Ikuyo: "…"
