"Kiss, kiss, kiss..."
Hearing what the Female Ghost said, Hitori Gotō's round eyes immediately widened, followed by her small face suddenly flushing red, and white steam rushing out from the top of her head.
No!
Absolutely not!
You can only kiss and hug after you're in a relationship!
She and Kitahara-kun were just ordinary friends, they absolutely couldn't do that!
Hitori Gotō shook her head quickly, but a vivid little scenario involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Sunset twilight.
In the empty classroom.
She nervously closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and then Kitahara Makoto leaned down to kiss her...
Thump!
Thump, thump, thump!
Hitori Gotō felt her heart suddenly accelerate, almost leaping out of her chest, and her whole body began to feel dizzy, her feet unsteady.
Kitahara Makoto lightly coughed twice, changing the subject, "Hitori-chan and I are not dating yet… Are there any other ways to replenish energy?"
Facing Kitahara Makoto's question, the Female Ghost's attitude was quite respectful:
"Exorcist-sama is exceptionally talented; ordinary physical contact should also be able to replenish energy."
"Physical contact?"
"Like holding hands."
"…"
Kitahara Makoto turned to look at Little Miss Anxiety, saying casually, "Hitori-chan… what do you say?"
"H-holding hands…"
Hitori Gotō lowered her head, her small face flushed crimson, as if it was about to drip blood, and her two small hands nervously distorted the corner of her clothes.
However… the panic in her heart quietly subsided, and she even secretly let out a sigh of relief.
(N-no choice… if it's just holding hands… it seems acceptable…)
Seeing Little Miss Anxiety blushing and stammering, Kitahara Makoto knew that Bocchi-chan had agreed.
After all, with Bocchi-chan's shy and introverted personality, even if she agreed, she wouldn't be able to say it out loud.
Kitahara Makoto quickly understood the reason behind it.
"Human nature always tends to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say, 'This room is too dark, we must open a window here,' everyone will surely object. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open a window. Without more drastic proposals, they will not even carry out peaceful reforms."
If he had initially said that holding hands was needed to replenish yang energy, with Bocchi-chan's shy and socially anxious personality, she definitely wouldn't have been able to agree.
But at first, it was a more intense kissing and hugging, and now, settling for less, only holding hands is needed to replenish yang energy, which is barely acceptable.
Kitahara Makoto suddenly felt a little suspicious.
Could this Female Ghost… be intentionally helping him out?
"I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat first." Kitahara Makoto naturally wouldn't voice his thoughts, changing the subject, "Then we'll go look for Shen Tian's parents."
Togawa Sakiko lightly pursed her pink lips and said,
"What do you want to eat? My treat."
Although Bocchi-chan stepped forward and voluntarily became the Female Ghost's host, Togawa Sakiko, as a party involved in the ghost incident, naturally had no reason to just walk away.
Calling Bocchi-chan to come along was indeed a bit of a trick, but it didn't hide Togawa's kind nature.
That's right.
The Togawa before him was actually a rare, pure-hearted Conspirer.
Kitahara Makoto pondered for a moment, then casually said,
"I haven't had ramen in a long time. Let's have ramen tonight… Hitori-chan, is that okay?"
"Mm-hm." Hitori Gotō quickly nodded in agreement, "I haven't had ramen in a long time either."
Togawa Sakiko secretly let out a sigh of relief: "…Then let's go."
The three left the music classroom and walked downstairs.
"Togawa-chan!"
Just as they walked out of the teaching building, a brown-haired girl suddenly ran breathlessly in front of the three of them, excitedly saying,
"I just heard from a friend that they saw you at school, and I rushed back from outside immediately. It really is Togawa-chan!"
Togawa Sakiko frowned slightly and said,
"Is there something you need?"
The brown-haired girl excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Togawa Sakiko's right hand, and then quickly said many things:
"I have so, so many things I want to tell Togawa-chan!"
"Why did Togawa-chan suddenly leave the band?"
"And why did you transfer schools without saying a word?"
"I sent you so many messages, why didn't Togawa-chan reply to a single one?"
"I'm really worried about you, Togawa-chan, did you run into trouble?"
"Tell me, we can work together to find a solution!"
"…"
Looking at the agitated brown-haired girl who spoke so much in one breath, Kitahara Makoto's expression was subtle, and he had already guessed her identity.
Nagasaki Soyo.
(If I'm not mistaken… you're the performer of the famous 'Kneel of the Century' scene, right?)
(She's clearly a scheming, dark-bellied Miss Fallen Ojou-sama, but in her desperate breakdown to find her beloved, her reaction is to humbly kneel… If this were in the Chinese server, she'd definitely be ranked behind dogs.)
"I'm sorry, I have something very important to do right now." Togawa Sakiko took half a step back, pulling her right hand free, her attitude quite cold and ruthless, "Please don't stop me."
The brown-haired girl looked as if she had been dealt a heavy blow, biting her lower lip, appearing quite humble:
"I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. Let's go to our usual restaurant for tea, and then I'll properly apologize to Togawa-chan…"
Togawa Sakiko ignored her and turned her head, saying,
"Kitahara-kun, let's go quickly."
"Okay."
Kitahara Makoto nodded slightly, and as they brushed past each other, he couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at Nagasaki Soyo.
Humble.
She's truly too humble!
If you were a different gender, not a girl but a boy, you'd be a super standard simp!
"…Who was that boy?"
Watching Kitahara Makoto and the two girls disappear into the distance, Nagasaki Soyo irritably bit her fingertip.
"That look when we brushed past each other was super annoying."
"Togawa-chan has never had male friends. Why is she suddenly so close to a boy?"
"Are they dating?"
The timid Bocchi-chan behind Kitahara Makoto was completely ignored by Nagasaki Soyo.
"Eh, wait—"
Nagasaki Soyo's eyes suddenly widened, and a guess that made her body stiffen emerged in her mind.
"Could it be that Togawa-chan is… pregnant out of wedlock?!"
"Suddenly leaving the band, dropping out of school for no reason, was actually to secretly go outside and have a baby?!"
Nagasaki Soyo's vision went black; the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Many students now secretly eat forbidden fruit, and accidents can easily lead to life. She heard that a girl in the neighboring school got pregnant and then dropped out for maternity leave.
Everyone was so happy together; besides an accidental pregnancy, Togawa-chan had no reason to leave everyone, right?
Damn it!
Nagasaki Soyo lowered her head, the highlights in her eyes quietly disappearing, and a gray aura floated around her entire body.
Her most cherished Togawa-chan, whom she usually couldn't bear to even touch, was actually secretly stood up and kicked by someone!
That boy must be dealt with immediately!
She must save Togawa-chan!
As for the child… it's no big deal, just write my name and Togawa-chan's name!
