"Hana, what's going on with Mai?"
Kitahara Makoto pulled the Beast Eared Girl to a corner and asked quietly.
"Meow?"
The white-haired beast-eared girl looked up, her expression bewildered.
Kitahara Makoto whispered:
"Why did Mai suddenly become a different person? Is it related to you?"
"No change."
"She's completely different from before we went out, isn't she?"
"It's her."
"Are you sure?"
"It's her."
"…"
This white-haired beast-eared girl was muddled and spoke in incomplete sentences, often making irrelevant remarks. If one encountered an impatient person, a few words from her could give them a headache.
Fortunately, Kitahara Makoto, as her master, had a mysterious telepathic connection with his 'mount'. By asking questions and using telepathy simultaneously, he finally managed to somewhat clarify the whole story.
First of all.
The sudden transformation of the aloof Mai into Succubus Mai was indeed related to the Beast Eared Girl; her beautiful red eyes were proof.
As a Ghost Story , the Beast Eared Girl naturally not only had a bottomless appetite but also various incredible abilities. Because the Beast Eared Girl was muddled and couldn't describe them clearly herself, Kitahara Makoto temporarily called them 'Idealistic Powers'.
As the name suggests, this power cannot be explained by materialism; quantum mechanics would be useless.
What's worse, Hana herself couldn't control this power, and it might affect others from time to time. Mai had bad luck; when she came out of the bathroom after showering, she happened to be affected by Hana's Idealistic Power, which seemed to have caused her memory to become confused, and then she turned into her current state.
"Mai won't be in danger, will she?"
Kitahara Makoto asked in a low voice.
"No danger."
The Beast Eared Girl was expressionless.
"That's good…" Kitahara Makoto breathed a sigh of relief. "Can Mai return to normal?"
"Yes."
"How long will it take to return to normal?"
"Don't know."
"…"
Kitahara Makoto helplessly covered his forehead: "You go to the room first, close the door, and don't come out until I call you."
The reason for Mai's memory confusion might be due to proximity, so he decided to temporarily send the Beast Eared Girl back to her room to see the effect.
"…Wait!"
Kitahara Makoto exhaled softly, and a flash of lightning suddenly crossed his mind.
If her memory was problematic, why would Mai think today was their 100-day dating anniversary?
That was something that would happen in the future!
Could it be… Mai also had future memories?
Kitahara Makoto suddenly remembered that before he left, Sakurajima Mai asked him to help her get soap. If he remembered correctly… Mai said to get it from the cabinet then?
Mai had clearly just entered the house for the first time, so how would she know the soap was in the cabinet?
Unless… Mai also foresaw the future.
"You're kidding me!"
After discovering the truth, Kitahara Makoto felt completely overwhelmed.
So not only did he foresee the future, but Mai also foresaw the future?
At the same time, under the influence of the Beast Eared Girl's Idealistic Power, Mai's memory became confused, and thus the future Mai from another timeline descended into the present world.
His intuition told Kitahara Makoto that this was the previously unknown side effect of the ability.
The problem was, this side effect was too much of a pain!
He was still thinking of changing the 'chopping' future, but had the 'chopping' girlfriend already descended upon him?
"So dangerous, I almost ended up headless."
Kitahara Makoto wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, suddenly realizing the danger.
Fortunately, the current Mai was the future Mai from their '100-day dating anniversary'. If the blackened, 'chopping' Mai had descended, wouldn't he have been dead the moment he walked in?
Kitahara Makoto then thought of the great angel of Shimokitazawa.
Since Mai also foresaw the future like him, what about Nijika?
Could she also have foreseen the future?
Thinking of this possibility, Kitahara Makoto felt numb.
"Kitahara-kun, what are you spacing out about?"
Sakurajima Mai's impatient voice came from behind him.
"Who exactly is this child?" Sakurajima Mai said, crossing her arms and frowning slightly. "She's out so late, her family must be worried. Kitahara-kun, quickly send her home."
Kitahara Makoto turned around and looked at his future 'girlfriend Mai' with complex eyes: "This is Hana. She's homeless and living on the streets. I've decided to keep her from now on."
Sakurajima Mai tilted her head and looked over: "So Kitahara-kun doesn't want the reward you've been looking forward to?"
Kitahara Makoto was startled: "What reward?"
"…What do you think?"
Sakurajima Mai pursed her pink lips, turned her body, blocking the Beast Eared Girl's sight with her back, then leaned forward slightly, a slender finger hooking her bathrobe and pulling it down.
The moon was truly white tonight…
Kitahara Makoto only felt his eyes instantly filled with white holy light.
It must be said, although Mai's development level couldn't compare to Bocchi-chan, it was more than enough to instantly defeat Nijika and Kita combined, potentially causing a 'chest murder' if one wasn't careful.
Looking at the deep chasm that could drown the bravest sailor, Kitahara Makoto had only one thought in his mind:
Which high school student could resist such temptation?!
"Cough cough…"
Kitahara Makoto's heart was burning, almost having his reason pierced through by desire.
Throw her out!
He would throw the Beast Eared Girl out immediately!
Although she was a mount, she could only be looked at, not ridden. On the other hand, the Mai in front of him, since she was his future girlfriend Mai, she could definitely be ridden…
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Kitahara Makoto remembered his final outcome of being 'chopped', which finally allowed him to calm down.
The current state was not permanent; it was just confusion caused by Hana. She would return to normal after some time.
What if Mai suddenly returned to normal while he was doing something excessive… Kitahara Makoto was certain that he would 100% end up in prison, working the sewing machine.
"Mai, please respect yourself." Kitahara Makoto took half a step back, his expression serious. "We're not actually that close."
"Not close?"
Sakurajima Mai tilted her head and looked over. After blinking her red eyes, a playful smile suddenly appeared on her pink lips.
Kitahara Makoto cautiously took half a step back:
"Mai, what do you want to do?"
Bang.
Sakurajima Mai grabbed Kitahara Makoto's collar and pushed him onto the sofa:
"Not close, huh?"
Kitahara Makoto was about to get up when, in the next second, a soft, sweet body sat on his lap.
The sweet scent of the girl instantly filled Kitahara Makoto's nostrils, making his mouth dry and his heart race.
Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain his sanity:
"Mai, don't mess around. I'm going to call for help..."
"Call for help, huh?"
Sakurajima Mai leaned in close, grabbing Kitahara Makoto's collar. Her breath was warm and sweet, making Kitahara Makoto's scalp tingle.
Dangerous!
Too dangerous!
Kitahara Makoto could only turn his head away, struggling to keep the string of his sanity from snapping: "Mai, I was wrong. Please get up first..."
"Wrong, huh?"
Sakurajima Mai's smile was dangerous and charming: "I'm a succubus. How could I let food that's already in my mouth go... Kitahara-kun, you're mine today."
