"...Hand of Stripping?"
Looking at the answer given in the book, Ijichi Nijika's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned to look at Kitahara Makoto, expectantly saying:
"Kitahara-kun, you just used this ability, right?"
Kitahara Makoto nodded: "I already know how to save Ryo-senpai."
The Hand of Stripping ability is to seize an external object from the target's body. Without a doubt, the insect that burrowed into Ryo-senpai's body definitely belongs to an external object, so it can be completely peeled away.
Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath and instructed:
"Ryo-senpai, Soyo, please help me first and quickly take off all of Ryo-senpai's clothes."
"Eh?"
"Don't leave a single piece, even the panties must be taken off!"
"Eh, eh, eh?"
Ijichi Nijika widened her eyes and couldn't help but say: "We agreed to save people, why do we have to take off all of Ryo's clothes?"
"You all just saw that the Hand of Stripping can only randomly peel off one external object and cannot specify a target."
Kitahara Makoto's tone was serious as he quickly explained, "Moreover, continuous use of the ability will consume a lot of mental energy. Perhaps I'll faint before I catch the bug."
"So, the safest way is to take off all of Ryo-senpai's clothes, leaving only the bug, and then I can kill it with one strike."
"...I understand."
Ijichi Nijika bit her lip, her eyes quickly firming up.
Faced with matters of great importance, she believed that Kitahara Makoto would definitely not joke on this occasion, so it was said that only by taking off her clothes could Ryo be saved.
"Soyo-san, please come over and help."
Ijichi Nijika clenched her fist and quickly walked towards Yamada Ryo, while pleading for help.
"Ah...coming."
Nagasaki Soyo hurriedly followed, came closer, and looked at Yamada Ryo's moist lips. Tsundere Young Miss felt complicated.
How annoying!
The boomerang effect had not yet disappeared. Nagasaki Soyo could not deny her affection for Kitahara Makoto. At this moment, the boy she had a crush on was being snatched away in front of her...
Nagasaki Soyo suddenly remembered a famous game line:
Hesitation leads to defeat.
"Kitahara-kun, can you let go of Ryo first?"
Ijichi Nijika raised her eyes and asked.
"No."
Kitahara Makoto grabbed Yamada Ryo's shoulders and shook his head upon hearing this, "Once I let go, Yamada Ryo might still attack people, like she just kissed me..."
"Eh, eh, eh?"
"Kitahara-kun, hold on tight, don't let go!"
Regardless of gender, as long as their sexual orientation is normal, they would not want to be kissed by the same sex.
Nagasaki Soyo took a half step back nervously. If she could choose, she would rather let Kitahara Makoto kiss her than let Ryo touch her: "Ryo-senpai's safety comes first now. There's no time to consider so much. Ryo-senpai will definitely forgive us."
"N-no mistake..."
The two girls quickly cooperated and began to take off Ryo's clothes together.
Fortunately, in preparation for entering the Otherworld, only various foods and first aid supplies were prepared. The clothes on the girls' bodies were all everyday clothes, so it was not difficult to take them off.
Before long, Yamada Ryo's clothes were stripped off, leaving only the last two pieces of underwear.
Nagasaki Soyo's pretty face blushed slightly: "Do we have to take off the underwear too?"
"Take it off, now is not the time to hesitate."
Ijichi Nijika took a deep breath and looked at Kitahara Makoto with a red face, "... Kitahara-kun, you can't peek!"
The last time she accidentally entered the Otherworld, he had already openly seen everything, okay?
The rustling sound rang out again.
The last two pieces of underwear on Yamada Ryo's body were quickly taken off.
"Huff..."
Ijichi Nijika gently breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance with Nagasaki Soyo. Both girls had rosy cheeks, feeling subtle and ashamed.
Taking off all of her friend's clothes in front of a boy, although it was to save her, there was still a sense of betrayal and shame.
Kitahara Makoto carefully checked and saw that Yamada Ryo didn't have earrings, hair clips, or other accessories. Only then did he feel relieved. Immediately afterward, he stretched out his right hand, aimed at Yamada Ryo, and silently used his ability:
"Seizing!"
The next second.
An insect whose body was between illusion and reality suddenly appeared in Kitahara Makoto's palm. Perhaps because of the sudden change in environment, it looked obviously a bit dazed.
Pfft—
Without saying a word, Kitahara Makoto clenched his right hand, directly crushing the bug into a cloud of black mist, which quietly dissipated into the air.
"Hmm..."
Yamada Ryo groaned softly, her slender eyelashes trembled gently, and her eyes quickly became agile.
"Ryo, are you okay?"
Ijichi Nijika asked nervously, "How do you feel now?"
Yamada Ryo covered her body with her hands: "A little cold."
"Eh?"
"Give me my clothes first."
Yamada Ryo said expressionlessly, "Not wearing clothes might cause a cold."
Ijichi Nijika blinked her eyes and quickly reacted:
"That... Ryo still remembers what happened just now?"
"I remember it very clearly."
Yamada Ryo put on her clothes while saying nonchalantly, "I was just controlled, but my consciousness was very clear. I knew everything that happened just now."
While speaking, Yamada Ryo raised her right hand, as if indifferently wiping away the liquid that had not yet dried at the corner of her lips, but if you looked closely, you could find that Yamada Ryo's earlobes were clearly stained with a touch of crimson.
"..."
The air fell silent for a moment.
The atmosphere was inexplicably subtle.
Finally, Ijichi Nijika coughed lightly, breaking the silence:
"It's good that Ryo is okay... Kitahara-kun, what do we do now?"
"Let's rest for a while, eat something, and drink some water."
Kitahara Makoto's tone was calm and his expression was natural, "Everyone has run so far, they must be tired."
Kissing is kissing, so what?
He was the victim, there was no need to apologize or feel guilty.
Kitahara Makoto even wanted to do it again, after all, the feeling was quite good...
"That's right, let's all take a break first."
Ijichi Nijika opened her backpack, took out food and drinks from it, "Have a sip of water first."
The four people found a rock to sit down and began to eat and drink, replenishing their strength.
"Let's synthesize the information we just obtained."
Kitahara Makoto looked up and drank half a bottle of water, then said softly, "The monster in the village is an unknown insect, and the number is currently unknown."
"These bugs obviously don't have high intelligence, but they have a strong desire for human bodies and seem eager to parasitize humans."
"After the bug invades the body, it will soon lose control of the body, but there is no immediate danger to life in the short term."
Nagasaki Soyo pursed her lips and raised her hand:
"I think the number of bugs shouldn't be too high. Samurai armor is expensive, and ordinary people in the past definitely couldn't afford it."
"We can't go back to the village for the time being."
Ijichi Nijika bit her lower lip, her expression solemn, "If Kitahara-kun is parasitized by the bug, there will be no way out."
Kitahara Makoto said softly:
"My body should be able to resist the bug's parasitism..."
Just now, Yamada Ryo suddenly kissed him, wanting to parasitize the bug in his body, but the bug seemed to be restrained by the Dutiful Exorcist's physique, which allowed Kitahara Makoto to be safe and sound.
Nagasaki Soyo looked up: "Kitahara-kun is just guessing, there's no way to be 100% sure that you won't be parasitized, right?"
"..."
Kitahara Makoto stopped talking, he really couldn't be 100% sure that he wouldn't be parasitized.
At this time, Yamada Ryo, who was eating chocolate, suddenly said:
"I thought of a way."
"Eh, what way?"
Ijichi Nijika hurriedly looked over expectantly.
"It's very simple..."
