"E-even if Ryo-senpai says that…" Kita Ikuyo's face was burning hot, and she stammered, trying to evade, when suddenly her eyes lit up, "Eh, wait, Bocchi-chan is still here! Let Bocchi-chan go and kiss him!"
Although she didn't dislike Kitahara-kun, that was a once-in-a-lifetime first kiss, and she didn't want to give it away in a place like this!
At a time like this, she could only 'sacrifice' her best friend to protect herself.
"…"
Gotō Hitori's face was as red as fire, and she was already speechless, shaking her small head like a rattle drum.
If it were just her and Kitahara Makoto, Bocchi-chan might barely be able to muster the courage to sacrifice herself to save him, but for her to kiss a boy while being watched by others…
She couldn't do it!
She absolutely couldn't do it!
"Don't be modest." Yamada Ryo's tone was calm and light, "Adding Kita Ikuyo probably won't be enough. It'll be Bocchi-chan's turn later."
Kita Ikuyo: "…"
Gotō Hitori: "…"
Things had come to this, and there was no point in saying more.
Although it was super embarrassing, she really couldn't just stand by and watch Kitahara Makoto suffer a mishap.
Kita Ikuyo could only inch her way to Kitahara Makoto, her small face crimson, emphasizing:
"It's, it's just to save him… just like giving artificial respiration to someone who's drowning. Everyone, don't misunderstand!"
Yamada Ryo crossed her arms over her chest and said expressionlessly:
"Tsk~ I suddenly thought of an idiom."
"What?"
"Burying one's head in the sand, deceiving oneself and…"
"Ah, ah, ah! Ryo-senpai, you're so mean!" Kita Ikuyo pouted angrily, shouting in embarrassment, "Don't say anything!"
"…"
Kita Ikuyo gripped her small fists, took a deep breath, and then, with a flushed face, suddenly pressed her lips against Kitahara Makoto's.
"So hot…"
Kita Ikuyo closed her eyes in a panic, and after a brief blankness in her mind, it was quickly filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts.
(My first kiss is gone just like that, completely different from the beautiful scene I imagined… I'll definitely regret it when I think about it later, right?)
(So Kitahara-kun's lips are soft and warm…)
(The accidental kiss last time only lasted for one second, and I didn't feel anything. Now, this is a real kiss…)
(If I had known this would happen, I might as well have been in the gym storage room… Wait, we're not even dating, so that kind of thing definitely wouldn't be okay, right?)
Lost in thought, her breath quickly ran out, and Kita Ikuyo hastily retreated, pulling away, quickly wiping her lips, her face flushed red, and she said breathlessly:
"The… the artificial respiration has been done!"
"If Kitahara-kun still doesn't wake up, it's not my business anymore!"
Ijichi Nijika lightly furrowed her brows and turned to look at Bocchi-chan:
"The black aura on Kitahara-kun has mostly dissipated, but he still hasn't woken up…"
Yamada Ryo said calmly:
"Bocchi-chan, the rest is up to you."
"Eh?"
Gotō Hitori nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, timidly raised her eyes to look at Kitahara Makoto, who still showed no signs of movement, her palms sweating from nervousness.
Of course, in front of everyone, I'll kiss Kitahara-kun…
No…
No, no, no!
That kind of thing is too embarrassing no matter how you think about it!
Bocchi-chan's personality was the exact opposite of Ryo-senpai; she was already shy and introverted. Even before she kissed him, her face was already so red it looked like it was bleeding, and her body was starting to sway.
"How about I do it?"
The Blonde cousin pushed up her glasses, saying nonchalantly:
"After all, it's a life-saving favor, and I don't mind…"
"…I…I'll do it!"
Gotō Hitori suddenly mustered her courage.
Everyone else was fine, but a strange cousin she met for the first time… she absolutely did not want to lose to her!
Dizzily walking up to Kitahara Makoto, Bocchi-chan suppressed her shame and slowly leaned in. Memories of the past few days suddenly flashed through her mind.
Their first meeting was at the Train Station platform.
Later, her identity as Guitar Hero was exposed, and her bread was tricked away…
Hiding in a corner to eat her bento, she accidentally overheard Kitahara-kun and Togawa Sakiko's conversation, and then she met the ghost Senpai. They went shopping and ate together, and even at the onsen inn…
And catching dolls together after school.
The first time they ventured into the Otherworld, Kitahara-kun carried her the whole way.
Walking together in the evening, picking up her mother to go home together.
She ate the animal crackers and turned into a cat, and Kitahara-kun carried her to the park…
And the most memorable scene was encountering the strange windbreaker in the alley on the way home, and then Kitahara-kun leaned down and kissed her…
"I've already kissed him before, so… it's fine…"
Little Miss Anxiety's eyelashes trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and, with all her strength, dizzily pressed her lips against Kitahara Makoto's.
"Just as I thought."
Ijichi Nijika felt complex emotions.
Just now, her cousin had already spoken, yet Bocchi-chan still mustered her courage and chose to sacrifice herself… If there wasn't a special feeling, Bocchi-chan wouldn't have been able to do this no matter what, right?
Scumbag Kitahara!
Bocchi-chan must be one of his future cheating partners!
"Hoo… hoo…"
After only a few seconds, Gotō Hitori felt as if she had used all her strength. She panicked, retreated, pulled away, and quickly looked down at her toes, letting the steam gush from the top of her head.
To actively kiss a boy with others watching, being able to stand now was already quite good.
At the same time.
Kitahara Makoto, who had been stiff and motionless, suddenly blinked.
"Ah, Kitahara-kun blinked!"
Kita Ikuyo shouted in surprise.
Under the expectant gazes of the girls, Kitahara Makoto slowly looked up and stood up.
"Kitahara-kun, how do you feel now?"
Ijichi Nijika let out a sigh of relief and asked with concern.
"I feel much better." Kitahara Makoto pursed his lips, an action that instantly made the faces of several girls flush. "Just now, I felt like my whole body was going to break down. Thanks to you all, I was able to recover."
Yamada Ryo tilted her head and said:
"Does Kitahara-kun remember what just happened?"
"I was just cursed by a strange entity, I didn't pass out." Kitahara Makoto's expression was calm. "Of course, I know what happened."
"…"
Upon hearing this, except for Yamada Ryo, who remained expressionless, Nijika and Kita's faces quickly turned red, their eyes darting away. Bocchi-chan, caught off guard, turned into a radish ball and hid in the corner.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood my future self."
Kitahara Makoto wanted to take back what he had said earlier.
The side effects were indeed painful when they erupted just now, but his future self hadn't tricked anyone.
If it were normal times, wanting Nijika and Bocchi-chan to line up and offer kisses?
Dream on!
But now, not only did he get kisses, but he could also openly start a harem…
"You all took my purity without my consent." Kitahara Makoto said with a serious expression, "You must take responsibility."
"Eh?" Kita widened her eyes, looking over in confusion, "What is Kitahara-kun talking about?"
You're the one who took advantage, how can you have the nerve to ask others to take responsibility!
Yamada Ryo said expressionlessly:
"How does Kitahara-kun want us to take responsibility?"
"Of course…" Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, directly laid his cards on the table, and said emphatically, "You all should date me."
If you don't even dare to say "date me" loudly, how can you start a harem?
Go home and sell sweet potatoes!
