"It's getting late." Ijichi Nijika looked up at the window. Unconsciously, the sun had already set, and the sky was filled with sunset clouds. She stood up and said softly, "Thank you for your hospitality today, Kitahara-kun. We'll head back now…"
Yamada Ryo's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly clutched her stomach, saying expressionlessly:
"Ah, my stomach hurts so much."
"Eh eh?!" Kita looked over worriedly, "What's wrong, Ryo-senpai?"
Yamada Ryo clutched her stomach with both hands and collapsed onto the sofa:
"I ate too much; my stomach is bloated and painful. Let's rest for a while before leaving."
"…"
Because Yamada Ryo was 'unwell,' Ijichi Nijika had no choice but to temporarily stay.
"I'll go wash the dishes…"
Bocchi-chan quietly slipped into the kitchen, preparing to clean the dishes and chopsticks.
"Ah, I almost forgot." Kita Ikuyo raised a hand and slapped her forehead, looking at Kitahara Makoto, "Kitahara-kun, quickly take our clothes out of the washing machine."
Nagasaki Soyo gently tugged at the hem of her shirt, her pretty face slightly red, saying:
"The clothes should be dry by now. Please, Kitahara-kun."
As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. The two girls now absolutely dared not approach the drum washing machine.
Kitahara Makoto sighed, and as he walked towards the washing machine, he said:
"You two, don't be so curious next time."
Kita raised her hand and swore: "There definitely won't be a next time!"
Kitahara Makoto retorted:
"Don't swear; be careful of boomerangs flying back."
Kita wrinkled her small, delicate nose: "There's no such thing."
"Boomerang…"
Nagasaki Soyo, however, had a slightly flushed face, her gaze drifting and darting away.
Indeed, one shouldn't speak too confidently. For example, for herself, the boomerang had already flown back.
Walking to the washing machine, Kitahara Makoto opened the drum lid and took out the clothes of Tsundere Young Miss and Kita.
The school uniform jackets were fine, but when he took out two pieces of underwear, Kitahara Makoto's expression immediately became subtle.
As the saying goes, there's no harm without comparison, and now, it was indeed so.
Although they were both first-year high school girls, the difference in size and measurements between the two girls could be described as heaven and earth!
Whoosh—
Kita snatched the underwear away, her face flushed crimson, shouting in embarrassment:
"What are you looking at, Kitahara-kun?!"
Nagasaki Soyo's pretty face was also slightly flushed: "Kitahara-kun, you can give us back our clothes now."
"…"
The two girls took their clothes and went to the room together.
Nijika-senpai sat alone in the corner of the sofa, lost in thought.
Beast Eared Girl and Futari held hands, watching an animated show on TV.
"Good, the family atmosphere is quite harmonious."
Kitahara Makoto nodded in satisfaction and was about to go to the kitchen to help when a hand suddenly reached his waist and gently poked him.
"Ryo-senpai?"
Kitahara Makoto turned his head to look, seeing Yamada Ryo behind him, and asked curiously:
"What are you doing?"
"Come with me."
Yamada Ryo, expressionless, walked upstairs.
The two went upstairs one after another and soon arrived at Kitahara Makoto's room.
Kitahara Makoto asked in confusion:
"What are you doing in my room, Ryo-senpai?"
"…"
Bang.
Yamada Ryo closed the door with her hand, turned to look at Kitahara Makoto, and said expressionlessly:
"Kitahara-kun, you wouldn't want your secret to be discovered, would you?"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
Wait, why does that sound so familiar?
He remembered.
Back at the Train Station, he seemed to have said the exact same words to Bocchi-chan.
"Ryo-senpai, what are you talking about?"
Kitahara Makoto was confused.
Yamada Ryo said with a blank expression:
"A few days ago, after waking up in the morning, my chest was faintly painful. Was it Kitahara-kun who rubbed it?"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
It really was him.
At that time, he didn't know that the dream would affect reality. In the dream, he did do some excessive things to Yamada Ryo.
Yamada Ryo continued:
"I always sleep very soundly and have never injured myself. Moreover, everything in the dream was super clear, as if it really happened."
"Of course, I didn't suspect Kitahara-kun at that time. I just shared the dream with Nijika out of curiosity."
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
You even shared such an embarrassing dream with others?
Aren't you ashamed at all!
"Nijika told me that she had the exact same dream as me." Yamada Ryo tilted her head and looked over, "It's an incredible event that two people dream the same dream, which has never been heard of before."
"But if it's related to the incredible Kitahara-kun, everything is possible."
Yamada Ryo took half a step forward, with no emotional change on her pretty face: "So… Kitahara-kun has the ability to enter other people's dreams, right?"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
A drop of cold sweat fell directly from Kitahara Makoto's forehead.
Terrifying!
Just based on this little bit, you can actually guess the truth. Even Conan would have to offer you tea!
"Sorry, I don't know what Ryo-senpai is talking about…"
Kitahara Makoto chose to persevere to the end. Anyway, what happened in the dream cannot leave any evidence.
"Is that so?"
Yamada Ryo tilted her head. She took out her right hand, which had been hidden behind her back, and in her hand was the "answer book".
"Kitahara-kun, do you need me to ask a question?"
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
No wonder you didn't ask questions in the living room just now. It turned out that you saved it for now as a trump card!
"Sorry, I was wrong." Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath and decisively lowered his head to apologize, "I do have the ability to enter dreams, but there are many restrictions. I can only enter dreams when others dream of me, and I only realized yesterday that the behavior in dreams can affect reality."
"I shouldn't have bullied Ryo-senpai in the dream, I'm very sorry."
"I guarantee there won't be a next time!"
There's no way to deny it.
The answer book will not lie. As long as Yamada Ryo asks a question, his ability to transform into Homelander in the dream will also be exposed, so it's better to apologize now.
"…"
The atmosphere in the room quickly fell silent.
Kitahara Makoto was still wondering what Ryo-senpai's attitude would be. The next second, the girl's indifferent voice rang out:
"I forgive you."
"Huh?"
Kitahara Makoto raised his head in surprise.
She forgave him so easily?
Ryo-senpai, your magnanimity is really unfathomable! If you were born in ancient times, you would definitely be able to become a female prime minister!
Yamada Ryo said calmly:
"When we were in Otherworld, it was Kitahara-kun who saved everyone. That's a life-saving grace. Even if Kitahara-kun wanted to... touch me in reality, I would agree."
Kitahara Makoto: "…"
In that case, it seems like he's at a loss?
"But now it's all written off." Yamada Ryo said expressionlessly, "It's really too much to bully people in dreams against their will, so the favor is offset."
Kitahara Makoto breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stated: "It's enough that Ryo-senpai is willing to forgive me."
"However…" Yamada Ryo tilted her little head slightly, and a subtle light flashed in her eyes, "My choice to forgive doesn't mean that everyone will forgive Kitahara-kun… Kitahara-kun, you don't want your secret to be known by everyone, do you?"
