"Ah…"
Anon, who was originally concentrating on practicing her stepping skills, was startled by the knocking sound and almost fell.
"Oh no, could it be Tomori coming to raid you tonight?"
Chihaya Anon was worried, and while speaking, she quickly looked for a hiding place.
Unfortunately, the room was only so big, and the wardrobe was full of clothes, so there was no place to hide.
"Don't be nervous." Kitahara Makoto sat up. "Tomori probably has something. My friend is still here, so she can't possibly come for a night raid."
"Then go quickly and ask what's going on." Chihaya Anon lay down directly and hid under the covers. "Ask at the door, don't let Tomori in."
"Got it."
"…"
Kitahara Makoto put on his shorts and got up, walking to the door.
As expected, the person knocking was indeed Tomori.
"Tomori, what's wrong?"
Kitahara Makoto stood behind the door, pretending to be sleepy and rubbing his eyes.
"It's Mutsumi," Takamatsu Tomori said with a worried tone, "Mutsumi's body is so cold, there's no warmth at all."
"Is her body temperature low?" Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a deep voice, "Tomori, go back to your room first. I'll be over once I'm dressed."
"Okay."
"..."
Closing the door, Kitahara Makoto turned and took a shirt from the wardrobe.
"Pervert Kitahara, what did Tomori-chan just say?"
Chihaya Anon poked her head out from under the covers, curiously asking about the situation.
"Tomori said that Wakaba's body temperature is super low, and she's a bit worried, so she asked me to go take a look."
Kitahara Makoto spoke as he walked to the bed, his gaze fixed on Anon.
"Since you promised Tomori-chan, then you should hurry over."
Sensing that something was amiss, Chihaya Anon quickly tried to hide back under the covers.
Unfortunately, before her little head could retract, Kitahara Makoto easily caught her:
"You called me a 'minnow' so many times. Before I go, of course, I have to collect some interest."
"No, go away..."
Chihaya Anon instantly understood the implied meaning.
But her attempt to dodge failed, and she was soon silenced by Kitahara Makoto's lips. She could only widen her eyes, glaring at him in embarrassment.
After Kitahara Makoto breached the city gates and invaded the city, the pink-haired girl finally couldn't hold on any longer and shyly closed her eyes.
Two minutes later.
Kitahara Makoto let go of Anon with satisfaction:
"I'll collect a little interest now. When I come back, there will be a hundred more kisses to take my time with."
Chihaya Anon was panting, and upon hearing this, she immediately got angry:
"Damn it, there aren't that many as a hundred!"
"..."
Kitahara Makoto left the room, first went to the bathroom to quickly wash his face, then came to the guest room next door.
Bang bang.
He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly, and Takamatsu Tomori stood behind it:
"Makoto-kun, come in quickly."
Kitahara Makoto stepped into the room, his gaze falling on Wakaba Mutsumi.
Mutsumi was sitting on the bed, hugging a pillow, playing on her phone. She looked completely normal, not at all like someone in danger.
"Mutsumi, is there any part of your body that feels uncomfortable?"
Kitahara Makoto asked softly.
"No," Wakaba Mutsumi looked up, her pretty face showing no emotional fluctuations, "It's very normal."
"But Mutsumi's body temperature is really low." Takamatsu Tomori gently bit her lower lip, her eyes worried, "I touched Mutsumi's body just now, and it felt like there was no warmth at all."
"Could it be that the air conditioning temperature is a bit low?"
Kitahara Makoto spoke as he glanced at the air conditioner's temperature.
Well.
It was set to twenty-seven degrees.
How could one not sweat all over when it's set this high in the middle of summer!
"Mutsumi, do you mind if I touch you?"
Kitahara Makoto asked softly.
Wakaba Mutsumi replied expressionlessly:
"I don't mind."
Kitahara Makoto nodded, touched Wakaba Mutsumi's hands and feet, and then her forehead. The temperature was indeed very low. Although not as exaggerated as Tomori said, it was certainly not a normal person's body temperature.
"Mutsumi, is your body temperature always this low, or is it just today?"
Kitahara Makoto asked softly.
"Always," Wakaba Mutsumi's tone was calm, "It's even lower at night."
Takamatsu Tomori asked from the side:
"How does Mutsumi feel now?"
Wakaba Mutsumi's long eyelashes trembled slightly:
"Very warm."
"Eh?"
"Makoto-kun's body is very warm." Wakaba Mutsumi's expression was calm, "Just now when Makoto-kun touched me, I felt some kind of warm sensation flowing into my body."
Hey, hey, Don't talk nonsense!
I only touched her hands, feet, arms, and so on! It was just the most ordinary skin contact, how could there be a warm sensation flowing through!
Kitahara Makoto turned his head to Tomori and whispered his guess:
"Mutsumi's body temperature being this low should be related to being cursed... The reason she feels warm is probably because I'm an 'exorcist'."
Takamatsu Tomori's eyes showed worry:
"Mutsumi's body temperature is so low, won't it be very dangerous at night?"
"It's not necessarily dangerous; Mutsumi just said it's not a one or two-day thing." Kitahara Makoto gently reassured her, "The answer book's question limit has been used up, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow for it to refresh... Oh, I know! I can ask Hana-chan, maybe she has a way."
"I'll go call Hana over."
Takamatsu Tomori's eyes lit up, and she quickly left the room.
A moment later.
Hana trotted in, her beautiful red eyes falling on Mutsumi, still speaking in her usual clipped manner:
"Daddy, sleep with."
"Eh?"
Takamatsu Tomori looked at Kitahara Makoto in surprise.
"I'm not, I didn't!" Kitahara Makoto quickly defended himself, "Hana-chan sleeps in the small room next door, I've never slept holding Hana!"
Sleeping with an elementary school student, if he didn't explain it clearly, he'd be seen as a pervert!
"Daddy, hold good person, safe."
Hana pointed a hand at Mutsumi on the bed.
Hana always spoke in a clipped manner, so Takamatsu Tomori naturally translated from the side:
"Hana-chan means that if Makoto-kun holds Mutsumi while she sleeps tonight, it will ensure Mutsumi's safety?"
Hana nodded.
"Makoto-kun, I beg you." Takamatsu Tomori turned to Kitahara Makoto, whispering, "Please sleep with Mutsumi tonight."
Kitahara Makoto's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say:
"I don't think it's that serious... And even if you agree, Mutsumi wouldn't agree, right?"
The girl's calm voice sounded behind them.
"I agree."
"Huh?"
Kitahara Makoto looked over in shock.
She agreed so easily?
You've only known each other for less than a day, alright! Are you too trusting of others, or are you completely unaware of your own charm?
Mutsumi said calmly:
"Makoto-kun is very warm, very comfortable."
"No, Mutsumi, aren't you too trusting of me?"
Kitahara Makoto couldn't help but complain:
"Sleeping with a boy at night, you're in great danger, alright!"
"It's fine." Wakaba Mutsumi's expression was calm, "Tomori trusts Makoto-kun, so Makoto-kun must be trustworthy."
Your standard for judging people is too simple, isn't it! What if Tomori sells you off one day, are you still going to help count the money?!
"Makoto-kun, I beg you."
Takamatsu Tomori bowed, pleading.
"Whew..."
Kitahara Makoto sighed helplessly: "Tomori, won't you be jealous?"
"No jealousy." Takamatsu Tomori shook her head gently, her tone serious, "Makoto-kun is a very important person, and Mutsumi is also a very important person. I hope everyone I value stays together for life, never separating."
"..."
Tomori's ideological awareness was indeed super high, far beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
Mutsumi agreed, and Tomori also agreed, so Kitahara Makoto naturally had no reason to refuse. He could only say:
"Alright, I'll go back and get my phone first."
Back in the room.
Anon was leisurely lying on the bed playing on her phone. Hearing the movement, she looked up and asked softly:
"Pervert Kitahara, is Tomori-chan okay?"
Kitahara Makoto walked to the head of the bed and unplugged his phone charger: "Tomori is fine, but I'm in trouble."
"Eh?" Chihaya Anon looked up curiously, "What do you mean?"
Kitahara Makoto sighed: "I can't take advantage of Anon tonight."
"Pfft~"
Chihaya Anon's pretty face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft scoff:
"Tomori-chan is right next door, what else were you planning to do? Hurry up, what exactly happened?"
"It has something to do with Tomori's friend..."
Kitahara Makoto sat on the edge of the bed and softly explained the situation.
"What! She's actually letting you sleep with a strange girl tonight? What is Tomori thinking!"
Chihaya Anon's cheeks puffed out involuntarily.
Unlike Tomori, who had a saint-level awareness, Anon was a typical young girl: prone to pouting, fond of acting cute, and easily jealous. Hearing that Kitahara Makoto was going to sleep with another girl tonight, she immediately became unhappy.
It was me first!
It was all me first!
You should be holding me to sleep tonight!
"Is Anon jealous?"
Kitahara Makoto was not flustered at all.
"I'm not."
Chihaya Anon turned her pretty face away and snorted, "Pervert Kitahara, hurry up and go next door, don't delay you having both arms around people."
Kitahara Makoto leaned down and pressed Anon beneath him:
"It seems I have to kiss Anon until she agrees for me to go over."
"Tch."
Chihaya Anon snorted softly, "Don't think I'm as easy to fool as Tomori-chan... Wait, wait, pervert Kitahara, where are you kissing?!"
"There are many places to kiss, alright."
"No, don't kiss indiscriminately..."
Chihaya Anon initially wanted to hold on, but unfortunately, she clearly overestimated her endurance.
After just one minute, she couldn't bear it anymore and began to beg for mercy:
"S-sorry, I was wrong!"
Kitahara Makoto looked up and said:
"What were you wrong about?"
Chihaya Anon's pretty face was flushed like fire, and she revealed her little tiger teeth in embarrassment:
"I was wrong to even come over!"
"Hmm?"
Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow, about to lower his head again.
"Wrong, wrong."
Chihaya Anon quickly covered her chest, the skin on her neck turning scarlet, "I don't care anymore, Kitahara-kun, hurry up and go next door!"
"Then you go to bed early, don't stay up late playing on your phone."
Kitahara Makoto wiped the corner of his mouth, straightened up, "I still have to practice in the Dream World tonight."
"Nagging~"
Chihaya Anon snorted softly and quickly hid under the covers, "You also shouldn't do strange things tonight, be careful someone calls the police and makes you go to jail."
"I promise I won't do anything."
Kitahara Makoto waved his hand, walked out of the room, and went next door.
"Makoto-kun, you're back?"
Takamatsu Tomori looked up, her tone puzzled:
"Why did it take so long?"
"I went to the bathroom on the way."
Kitahara Makoto had naturally already thought of an excuse, then subtly changed the subject, "How are we sleeping tonight?"
