"What would Togawa-chan's reaction be if she saw these photos?"
Nagasaki Soyo pursed her pink lips. Once the thought arose, it lingered.
Although the misunderstanding had been resolved, Kitahara Makoto and Togawa-chan were not dating, and Togawa-chan was not pregnant, their relationship was definitely not ordinary.
The evidence was simple.
That night on the Commercial Street, she personally saw Kitahara Makoto and Togawa-chan holding hands. Even if it was a necessary method of replenishment, Togawa-chan's face was clearly red at the time.
There aren't many truths in this world; a blush on a girl's face is worth a thousand words.
If it were a boy she disliked, even if she had to hold hands with him to replenish energy, Togawa-chan would surely have a cold expression, not blush and be shy, right?
Nagasaki Soyo quickly thought of herself again.
The suspension bridge effect is incredibly annoying; it can easily distort people's rationality. Even though she kept telling herself, 'The wise don't fall in love,' she still felt her face flush and her heart race when she saw Kitahara Makoto now.
So, would Togawa-chan, who was also entangled by an evil spirit, also be affected by the suspension bridge effect?
Most likely, yes.
"Eh, wait—"
An impulse suddenly surged in the Tsundere Young Miss's mind.
Togawa-chan was first, and she was just a latecomer, but if she came from behind and snatched Kitahara-kun, would Togawa-chan regret it with tears in her eyes?
Thinking of this, a strong sense of immorality and excitement suddenly surged into her heart.
"No, don't think nonsense!"
Nagasaki Soyo quickly shook her head, driving away the chaotic images in her mind.
"The wise don't fall in love!"
"And the only person I truly care about is Togawa-chan!"
Taking a deep breath, Nagasaki Soyo's slender fingers tapped the screen, selected the photos, and then sent the message.
"If Togawa-chan truly cares, maybe I can take this opportunity to ask her out for a talk..."
At the same time.
Togawa Sakiko, who had been chatting with ghost Senpai for a long time, was walking home when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate gently.
"It's Soyo again..."
Taking out her phone from her bag, Togawa Sakiko couldn't help but frown as she saw the string of messages popping up on the screen.
Ever since she left the band last year, Soyo had sent her messages almost every day, sometimes even several a day, but the more she did, the more resistant she felt—
No matter what, it was her fault for rudely leaving the band and hurting everyone. Her girlish pride also prevented her from revealing the fact that her family had fallen on hard times. Guilt and complex emotions intertwined, and she had no idea how to face Nagasaki Soyo.
As time went on, this guilt might slowly fade, but every message from Soyo would make her recall the mistakes she had made...
Hesitating for two seconds, Togawa Sakiko still opened the message, but she had already decided to read it without replying.
"With Kitahara-kun around, even if Soyo encounters an evil spirit, there's no need to worry... Eh?!"
Looking at the photos on her phone, Togawa Sakiko's bright eyes widened instantly.
No mistake.
She had eaten at Kitahara-kun's house before, and the living room was indeed identical... Soyo was actually eating at Kitahara-kun's house today?
And there were so many girls?
Looking at the harmonious Kitahara Makoto and the several girls, Togawa Sakiko silently bit her lower lip, suddenly feeling a little wronged.
I'm out here working hard to earn money and support the family, and you're at home having a party with so many girls?!
Too much!
Absolutely too much!
Seeing the message turn to 'read,' Nagasaki Soyo's heart leaped with joy, and she quickly continued to send messages:
"Togawa-chan, don't misunderstand. I came to Kitahara-kun's house to ask Kitahara-kun to help with exorcism…"
Of course, Nagasaki Soyo naturally chose to conceal the incident from last night, when she called Kitahara Makoto over to help with an exorcism, only to be caught red-handed by her mother in bed.
She secretly raised her eyes to look at Kitahara Makoto, and seeing that Kitahara Makoto was still studying diligently and not paying attention to her, Nagasaki Soyo quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and her little scheme immediately surfaced.
"There's also one more thing, I don't know if I should tell Togawa-chan…"
"The cute girl with the blonde side ponytail in the photo seems to have a very unusual relationship with Kitahara-kun."
"The child with the fluffy beast ears called Kitahara-kun 'Papa' and then called that blonde girl 'Mama'."
"Many things happened today, and I can't explain them all in a short time. If Togawa-chan is curious, would you like to come out for tea together?"
"I'll tell you all the news then."
"…"
"Papa and Mama?"
Looking at the new message that popped up on her phone, Togawa Sakiko immediately frowned.
She didn't think Soyo was lying, after all, the truth of such a matter could be easily found out with a simple question.
So, what was the relationship between that blonde girl with the side ponytail and Kitahara-kun?
One is Papa, the other is Mama… their relationship must not be simple, right?
Togawa Sakiko suddenly felt a sense of urgency well up in her heart.
If she stood still, Kitahara-kun might be snatched away by someone else, and the two would eventually drift apart…
Shaking her head, she drove the chaotic thoughts out of her mind. Togawa Sakiko bit her lower lip lightly. She had originally intended to ignore it, but her fingers had already unconsciously replied to the message:
"Then… let's have a cup of tea."
"Eh?"
Seeing the message pop up on her phone, Nagasaki Soyo's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she abruptly stood up.
"Soyo-san, what's wrong?"
Kitahara Makoto heard the movement and looked up in confusion.
"I suddenly remembered something very important that I forgot to do. Let's stop here for today." Nagasaki Soyo suppressed the excitement in her heart and happily packed her schoolbag, "Kitahara-kun, goodbye."
Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow and said:
"It's still early, and the evil spirit hasn't appeared yet. Are you sure you want to go back?"
Until now, the evil spirit imp had not appeared.
"It doesn't matter." Nagasaki Soyo's eyes sparkled, her face full of joy and excitement, "Anyway, Kitahara-kun said that as long as I'm not afraid, that evil spirit can't do anything to me."
Evil spirit?
For Togawa-chan, it doesn't matter if I'm haunted by an evil spirit!
"Kitahara-kun, I'll be leaving."
Nagasaki Soyo bowed slightly, then walked away with light steps, practically running.
"It feels like she's going to see a long-lost relative…"
Kitahara Makoto silently complained in his heart, but he had no intention of digging deeper. He saw the Tsundere Young Miss out the door and returned to the living room to continue reading.
In a blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
"Phew… it's almost time to go out."
Kitahara Makoto checked the time, then stood up to leave.
He had asked Little Miss Anxiety in the evening, and Gotō-san was still working overtime tonight, so he naturally needed to secretly escort her.
"Hitori-chan, I'm setting off."
Kitahara Makoto sent a message to Bocchi-chan as he left.
Strangely, even when he reached the vicinity of the Gotō residence, Bocchi-chan still hadn't replied to any messages.
"She didn't come out to wait for me today?"
Not seeing the peeking Little Miss Anxiety at the door, Kitahara Makoto couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Something's not right…"
