"Last time we entered Otherworld without any preparation and still returned safely. This time, there will be even less of a problem, so..." Kitahara Makoto said seriously, extending his right hand to Nijika, "Nijika-senpai, please feel free to rely on me."
"Why..." Ijichi Nijika's expression was complex, and she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, "Otherworld is so dangerous, why does Kitahara-kun insist on going with me?"
Kitahara Makoto said emphatically:
"Of course, it's to get Nijika-senpai to join my harem!"
Ijichi Nijika: "..."
Stupid Kitahara!
Hurry up and give me back the emotion from before!
"Of course, Nijika-senpai, please rest assured, I will absolutely not force you, nor will I use this matter to demand repayment for kindness."
Kitahara Makoto interlaced his fingers, his tone incredibly serious, "I will definitely make Nijika-senpai willingly join my harem."
"Impossible!"
The emotion vanished without a trace, and Ijichi Nijika glared at him irritably, "You might as well give up that idea early!"
"..."
With the conversation reaching this point, Ijichi Nijika finally stopped refusing, raising her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and softly said:
"You and Ryo-senpai were down from upstairs for so long, were you discussing this matter?"
I'm sorry.
The time was mainly spent on Ryo-senpai's lap pillow.
"Something like that."
Kitahara Makoto was vague, "The operation time is set for tomorrow, we can prepare in advance... water, compressed biscuits, first-aid medical kits, basic survival supplies cannot be lacking."
"Also, Futari, as a 'native,' she will definitely be able to help."
"And bring the answer book, if you encounter a problem, just ask directly..."
Looking at the handsome young man earnestly planning the necessary actions under the light, Ijichi Nijika subconsciously covered her chest, only feeling her wavering thoughts suddenly settle down.
Ijichi Nijika couldn't even move her gaze for a moment, only feeling incredibly at ease and reliable.
The discussion concluded.
The two walked downstairs, one after the other.
"How was it?"
Yamada Ryo looked up.
Kitahara Makoto nodded:
"Nijika-senpai is handled."
"Let's talk about it when we get back..."
Ijichi Nijika lightly coughed twice, not wanting to involve Kita and Bocchi-chan, "It's already dark outside, shouldn't we be heading back?"
Yamada Ryo didn't have a stomach ache this time, and said expressionlessly:
"Let's go."
"Senpai, wait, I'll go back with you."
Kita, who had already changed her clothes, trotted over, her face full of curiosity, "Ryo-senpai, what were you secretly talking about?"
Yamada Ryo said expressionlessly: "Talking about things children shouldn't hear."
Kita puffed out her pink cheeks: "I'm not a child!"
"I, I and Futari are going back too..."
Little Miss Anxiety walked over holding Futari's hand, also wanting to slip away.
"Futari, I'm going back."
Ijichi Nijika half-squatted down, stroked the Beast Eared Girl's small head, and said gently, "I'll come to see you again in a couple of days."
The Beast Eared Girl's expressionless demeanor was exactly like Ryo, looking even more like Ryo-senpai's daughter:
"Mama, little cake."
Ijichi Nijika's pretty face flushed slightly, knowing she couldn't correct her: "Got it, next time I come to play, I'll definitely buy you a little cake."
"..."
After saying goodbye, Nijika-senpai, Ryo, Bocchi-chan, and Kita all left, and the originally lively house instantly became quiet, with only Nagasaki Soyo remaining, as the crisis of being entangled by an evil spirit had not yet been resolved.
"It suddenly feels so quiet."
Nagasaki Soyo sat on the sofa, looked up at Kitahara Makoto, "Kitahara-kun, that thing we talked about in the kitchen earlier..."
"Meeting your aunt, right?"
Kitahara Makoto nodded in agreement, "No problem."
Many lice don't itch, many debts don't worry.
Besides, he did sleep in the same bed with the Tsundere Young Miss last night, so it was necessary to give her mother an explanation.
"Hoo..."
Nagasaki Soyo quietly breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile appearing on her face: "I've troubled Kitahara-kun, how about setting the time for the weekend?"
"Weekend..."
Kitahara Makoto pondered for two seconds, "Another day then, I don't have time this weekend."
Saturday was for pretending to be Chihaya Anon's boyfriend, and Sunday was for exorcising with Togawa-san, firing the first shot as a gold-medal exorcist, his schedule was already packed.
Nagasaki Soyo's voice was gentle: "Then we'll talk when Kitahara-kun is free."
Kitahara Makoto looked at the Tsundere Young Miss: "Soyo-san, are you staying overnight or going home tonight?"
"I have to be home before nine PM."
Nagasaki Soyo's pretty face flushed slightly, her gaze drifting, "Because of what happened last night... Mom directly set a curfew."
"Understood."
Kitahara Makoto nodded, "It's seven PM now, I hope that evil spirit imp will show itself voluntarily in the time to come."
"..."
After chatting with the Tsundere Young Miss for a while, Kitahara Makoto quickly brought over his schoolbag and began to read and study.
To get into Todai, besides talent, effort is also essential.
Seeing Kitahara Makoto start studying, Nagasaki Soyo sat on the other side of the table, also opened her schoolbag, and took out her textbooks.
But after only a few minutes, Nagasaki Soyo began to become distracted.
(Can't focus...)
Too many things had happened in the past few days: encountering an evil spirit in the amusement park, discovering Kitahara Makoto's identity as an exorcist, and then being caught red-handed by her mother last night... In short, she couldn't calm down to read at all now.
Nagasaki Soyo propped her chin with one hand, and secretly looked up at Kitahara Makoto across the table.
Under the bright light, the handsome young man across from her sat upright, holding a pen in one hand, earnestly reading and studying, his eyes deep, his expression focused... It had to be said that a serious and focused person indeed possessed a mysterious attraction, and Nagasaki Soyo couldn't even move her gaze for a moment.
Thump-thump.
Nagasaki Soyo suddenly clearly heard the sound of her heart beating faster.
Oh no, it's the feeling of being in love...
"Damn, damn it!"
Nagasaki Soyo's pretty face flushed, and she hurriedly averted her gaze, quickly taking out her phone to try and divert her attention.
"Damn suspension bridge effect, hurry up and disappear!"
"The purpose of contacting Kitahara-kun back then was just to save Togawa-chan!"
Thinking of Togawa Sakiko, Nagasaki Soyo's heart suddenly stirred slightly. Her slender fingers tapped on her phone, opening the chat box with Togawa Sakiko. Inside, it was densely packed with messages, but they were all sent unilaterally by her. If her gender were male, she would be the epitome of a simp.
It wasn't until the day before yesterday, when she encountered an evil spirit at the amusement park and complained to Togawa Sakiko, that Togawa-chan finally replied to her first message.
Nagasaki Soyo was so excited then that she almost cried.
Togawa-chan really does care about me!
Otherwise, why would she reply when she heard I was in danger?
Sincerity can move mountains!
Unfortunately, after Togawa Sakiko found out that she went to the amusement park with Kitahara Makoto, she stopped replying to her messages again.
At this moment, Nagasaki Soyo remembered the impulse she had during dinner:
"What would Togawa-chan's reaction be if I sent her photos of everyone eating together?"
