"Tomori, there's a light on inside the house."
Chihaya Anon whispered.
"I see it." Takamatsu Tomori said softly, "They must have found Sakiko, otherwise Makoto-kun wouldn't turn on the light."
"Hurry, I remember there was a window earlier where the curtain wasn't fully closed."
Nagasaki Soyo's heart was excited, and she quickly made a decision.
The three of them, holding umbrellas, quickly went around to the window where the curtain wasn't fully closed, stood on their tiptoes, and looked inside.
"It's Sakiko!"
Seeing the slender blue-haired girl inside, Nagasaki Soyo immediately became excited.
Takamatsu Tomori widened her eyes: "…What did Makoto-kun say? Sakiko looks like she's about to cry?"
"There are so many mosquitoes." Chihaya Anon suggested softly, " Since we found her, why don't we first ask Kitahara-kun to open the door, and we can go inside to talk… Eh, eh, eh?!"
Under the secret gaze of the three girls, Togawa Sakiko suddenly stepped forward and rushed into Kitahara Makoto's embrace.
"Sure enough, Sakiko has also been captured…"
Nagasaki Soyo's mood was subtle and complex.
That kiss on Friday night had completely prevented Nagasaki Soyo from deceiving herself any longer.
(I clearly have a good impression of Kitahara-kun, even love…)
Although her body couldn't move at the time, her mouth could still speak.
Why did she mess up in the end when she could have simply asked Kitahara Makoto to help her take off the necklace?
Nagasaki Soyo, in the dead of night, tossing and turning, finally seriously confronted her inner feelings.
It was that she subconsciously did not resist, and even implicitly somewhat anticipated more intimate contact…
The only thing she didn't expect was that after Kitahara Makoto kissed her, he would directly reveal himself and invite her to join his harem.
Nagasaki Soyo had originally thought she would never agree, but now her heart was quietly wavering.
(If Togawa-chan agrees to join the harem… maybe I can consider it too?)
(In that case, I could be with Sakiko forever, right?)
"Tsk, another one."
Chihaya Anon puffed out her pink cheeks slightly.
(One after another, how many girls is he involved with?!
Even if you're a monster, your kidneys will give out!)
Takamatsu Tomori, on the other hand, silently clutched her chest and murmured:
"Sakiko… and Makoto-kun…"
At the same time.
In the living room.
After Togawa Sakiko's emotions calmed down, Kitahara Makoto suddenly felt a gaze like daggers on his back.
He silently raised his hands and said:
"Togawa-chan, there's something I forgot to tell you just now…"
"What is it?"
Togawa Sakiko took half a step back, looking at Kitahara Makoto's once again wet shoulder, her pretty face slightly flushed.
How many times had it been?
The first time she got Kitahara-kun's clothes wet was in the music classroom that day, and after that… she couldn't remember, but it had been many times in total.
However, in front of Kitahara-kun, it was okay to occasionally show a weak side, right?
Kitahara Makoto honestly said:
"The reason I knew you were injured was that Soyo sent me a message saying a friend saw someone very much like you at the hospital…"
"Eh?"
Togawa Sakiko's heart immediately filled with a bad premonition:
"Is Soyo outside?"
"…And others."
"Others?"
"To find out about Togawa-chan's situation, I asked someone to help me ask the answer book…"
Kitahara Makoto spoke while looking at the window beside them.
Togawa Sakiko's bad premonition grew stronger.
She quickly turned her head to look and saw three small heads lined up from top to bottom behind the not-fully-closed curtain.
Buzz—
Togawa-chan only felt her head buzzing, and her pretty face rapidly flushed at a visible speed.
Everything about her hiding in Kitahara-kun's arms and crying just now was seen?!
A moment later.
Nagasaki Soyo, Takamatsu Tomori, and Chihaya Anon, the three girls, walked into the genkan one by one.
"Sakiko, I'm sorry, I asked Kitahara-kun to help me find you.
Rikki sent me a message saying the figure she saw at the hospital looked a lot like you, and you weren't replying to messages, so I was very worried… I'm terribly sorry."
Facing her former white moonlight, Nagasaki Soyo immediately bowed and apologized.
Togawa Sakiko's blush had not yet faded from her pretty face.
Hearing this, she said:
"It's okay… Is Rikki also at the hospital? I didn't see her."
As she partnered with Kitahara Makoto to start the weight loss business, the burden of life finally lifted.
Coupled with finding someone reliable again, Togawa Sakiko finally no longer wrapped herself in cold ice.
"It's good that Sakiko isn't angry…"
Nagasaki Soyo breathed a sigh of relief, and an apologetic expression quickly appeared on her face, "I didn't ask Rikki why she went to the hospital."
Goodness, she didn't even ask.
It really was a superficial friendship, wasn't it!
"Rikki said her mom had a cold, and she went to the hospital to help get medicine."
Takamatsu Tomori said softly.
Togawa Sakiko looked up: "It's good that Rikki is okay."
"…"
Silence fell.
The former friends stood face to face for the first time.
Although there was much they wanted to say, they all fell silent for a moment.
"Sakiko, is the injury on your forehead serious?"
Nagasaki Soyo asked worriedly.
"It's not serious." Togawa Sakiko gently shook her head, "The doctor said it will be fine in a few days."
Nagasaki Soyo was still very worried: "Will it leave a scar?"
Togawa Sakiko's gaze lowered as she looked down at the floor: "Don't worry, the doctor said it won't leave a scar."
"…"
Everyone was very understanding, and no one mentioned Togawa-chan's weak appearance from just now.
However, Soyo and Tomori's gazes were both on Togawa Sakiko.
Only Anon, with her arms crossed over her chest, secretly came to Kitahara Makoto's side, poked him quietly with a look of disdain.
"Why is Anon-san scolding me?"
Kitahara Makoto looked innocent.
"How dare you ask why?" Chihaya Anon lowered her voice, her small canine teeth faintly visible, "Don't forget your identity!"
Kitahara Makoto looked bewildered: "What is my identity?"
"He really forgot!" Chihaya Anon puffed out her pink cheeks. "He's supposed to be my fake boyfriend, but now he's entangled with so many other girls… If my friends see us, where will I put my face?"
Kitahara Makoto said nonchalantly:
"If your friends see us, Anon-san can just take the opportunity to break up, right?"
"…Stupid Kitahara!"
Chihaya Anon's small fangs gleamed coldly; she really wanted to bite him.
He's actually looking forward to breaking up so much. Don't I have any face left?
"I haven't finished tidying up yet, the house is a mess, there isn't even a teacup…" Togawa Sakiko clearly didn't want to talk to everyone when she was at her most disheveled, so she planned to open the door and send them off. "That's enough for today. Let's meet again another day, okay?"
"Sakiko…"
Nagasaki Soyo looked over pitifully, clearly not wanting to leave just yet.
They had only exchanged a few words, and no problems had been resolved. She wanted to stay and help Sakiko no matter what.
However, facing her former crush, Nagasaki Soyo was cautious and restrained, afraid of making Sakiko, who had finally been willing to talk, escape again. She could only cast a pleading look at Kitahara Makoto.
"Leave it to me."
Kitahara Makoto returned a reassuring look, then stepped forward:
"We'll talk about other things later. Let's heal the wound on your forehead first… Togawa-chan, you don't want to leave a scar, do you?"
