"I'll stay with Ryo…"
Seeing that Yamada Ryo was determined and couldn't be persuaded to leave no matter what, Ijichi Nijika had no choice but to stay.
Better safe than sorry.
Although she trusted Kitahara Makoto's character and believed he wouldn't do things like night raids or coercion, what if Ryo took the initiative?
Biological instincts don't differentiate between genders.
Just as boys are obsessed with such things, girls are equally curious about them.
If it were Bocchi-chan or Kita, Ijichi Nijika would naturally be very relieved, but with Ryo… she had no moral integrity whatsoever.
"Then you two sleep in the guest room."
Kitahara Makoto naturally agreed immediately. He had several 'cohabitation' experiences before, and it wouldn't cause any trouble in his life. In fact, with Nijika around, he could just lie down and be a slacker.
Nijika could manage everything in the house perfectly.
"It's still early…" Kitahara Makoto glanced at the time on his phone, "Want to read together?"
Ijichi Nijika nodded:
"Yes, we should read. Final exams are coming soon, and so many things have happened recently that I haven't seriously studied… Ryo, where are you going?"
Yamada Ryo tiptoed: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Don't even think about hiding," Ijichi Nijika stretched out her right hand and directly pulled Yamada Ryo back, "I remember clearly that you just went to the bathroom ten minutes ago."
Yamada Ryo still wanted to struggle: "I drank too much water…"
Ijichi Nijika's pretty face tensed: "Then hold it in."
Yamada Ryo pitifully clutched her stomach: "I feel like it's going to leak out…"
Ijichi Nijika: "…Don't say things like that in front of a boy!"
"…"
Yamada Ryo ultimately couldn't escape and was dragged to the table by Nijika, where the three of them studied together.
"Study hard, final exams are coming soon. I'm not asking you to get a high score, but at least pass, okay?"
Ijichi Nijika lectured while handing over the textbook.
Yamada Ryo, who had been full of energy just now, had now turned into a dried fish, flopping softly on the table:
"Nijika is even more naggy than Mom."
"Hmm?"
Ijichi Nijika's delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"Sorry," Yamada Ryo silently sat upright, "I'll read right away."
At the same time.
Kitahara Makoto was compiling today's math practice questions, then taking pictures and sending them to Bocchi-chan.
"Remember to finish these problems. I'll check them at the library tomorrow."
Gotō Hitori: "Yes, Kitahara-sensei."
Kitahara Makoto: "By the way, Nijika and Ryo are at my house, it's for…"
To build a harem without things going wrong, one must be upright; concealment and deception are absolutely not permissible.
Gotō Hitori: "Yamada Ryo really likes playing games."
Kitahara Makoto: "Do you want to come over and join us?"
Gotō Hitori: "S-Sorry, my mom and dad are home, so I won't go."
"…"
After messaging Bocchi-chan for a while, Kitahara Makoto put down his phone and seriously read his book.
Twenty minutes later.
Kitahara Makoto suddenly heard Nijika's gentle voice beside him:
"Kitahara-kun…"
"Hmm?" Kitahara Makoto looked up, "What's wrong, Senpai?"
"Um… do you have any more magic cookie?" Ijichi Nijika covered her forehead and said helplessly, "Ryo really doesn't understand."
Yamada Ryo, who had originally been sitting upright, was now sprawled on the table again, completely turned into a dried fish.
"There are no biscuits today, but I've gained a new ability that can also improve study efficiency," Kitahara Makoto said softly, "Do you want to try it?"
The biscuits had already been given to Bocchi-chan and Kita, so there was indeed no stock left.
Ijichi Nijika asked curiously:
"What method?"
"It's simple… Sudden Enlightenment."
Kitahara Makoto extended his right hand and placed it on Yamada Ryo's head beside him, gently rubbing for ten seconds as if petting a cat.
"Mew…"
Yamada Ryo did not resist at all; instead, she narrowed her eyes and let out a pleased purring sound similar to a cat's.
"That's enough."
Kitahara Makoto quickly withdrew his right hand.
"That's it?"
Ijichi Nijika was skeptical, feeling that Kitahara Makoto was taking advantage of the situation to play around.
"Yamada Ryo, please sit up straight," Kitahara Makoto looked at Yamada Ryo, "I'll explain the problems to you."
Under Ijichi Nijika's suspicious gaze, Yamada Ryo's originally dried-fish-like eyes quickly brightened:
"I feel it… knowledge is entering my brain."
Ijichi Nijika said in surprise:
"It actually works?"
"Of course," Kitahara Makoto looked at Nijika, extended his right hand, "Nijika, you try it too."
If he had asked Nijika if she wanted it, the girl's modesty would definitely make her refuse, but by directly reaching out, Ijichi Nijika would most likely not dodge.
Facts proved that Kitahara Makoto accurately grasped Nijika's little thoughts.
Facing the outstretched right hand, Ijichi Nijika's pretty face flushed slightly, and she indeed did not dodge, allowing him to pat her head.
"Has enough time passed?" Ijichi Nijika's pretty face was crimson, and she couldn't help but say, "You only touched Ryo's head for a few seconds just now."
Kitahara Makoto said earnestly:
"I'm sorry, Nijika is too cute, I couldn't help myself."
Ijichi Nijika glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed: "Take your hand away!"
"…"
Studying continued.
Ijichi Nijika soon felt that her study efficiency had indeed improved, but for some reason, some terrible thoughts unconsciously arose in her mind.
(It's been a long time since I kissed… I want a kiss… I want…)
Realizing her 'crush on teacher' thoughts, Ijichi Nijika was full of shame and quietly pinched herself under the table.
(Don't think nonsense, study hard!)
However, it was no use.
Random 'crush on teacher' thoughts still popped up in her mind from time to time, and she could only forcibly endure them.
10 PM.
Studying ended.
"I'll go take a shower first."
Kitahara Makoto got up and walked towards the bathroom, and soon the sound of rushing water could be heard.
"Hoo…"
Ijichi Nijika quietly let out a sigh of relief, shaking her head to dispel the terrible thoughts in her mind, and suddenly saw Yamada Ryo clutching her chest, staring unblinkingly in the direction of the bathroom.
"Ryo, what's wrong?"
Ijichi Nijika asked curiously.
Yamada Ryo answered truthfully: "I want to take a bath with Kitahara-kun."
"Eh? Eh? Eh?"
Ijichi Nijika was instantly shocked, "What do you mean by taking a bath together?"
"It means exactly what it sounds like." Yamada Ryo said without changing her expression, "I want Kitahara-kun to help me scrub my back."
"No way!"
Ijichi Nijika quickly shouted, her face flushed:
"You two aren't even dating, that kind of thing is definitely not allowed!"
Yamada Ryo tilted her head and looked over: "So, as long as I date Kitahara-kun, it's fine?"
"Eh?" Ijichi Nijika was slightly startled, her teeth unconsciously biting her lower lip, "Ryo, could it be that you… are really willing to join a harem?"
She remembered when Kitahara Makoto first said he wanted to start a harem, Ryo had said 'buy one get one free', but that was undoubtedly a joke.
But at this moment, both her tone and expression proved that the current Ryo was quite serious…
