"Kitahara-kun is in great danger right now. We can talk about kissing later…"
Ijichi Nijika frowned, completely uninterested in interacting with the elementary schooler.
At this moment, Yamada Ryo spoke:
"Hana probably means to kiss Kitahara-kun."
"Eh?" Ijichi Nijika looked down at the Beast Eared Girl, "Hana wants me to kiss Kitahara-kun?"
The Beast Eared Girl nodded, still speaking in a broken manner: "Papa, imbalance, kiss, harmonize."
Kita Ikuyo had a question mark above her head: "What does that mean?"
Yamada Ryo translated from the side:
"The general meaning is that Kitahara-kun is currently in a very dangerous state, and the power within his body has lost balance. A kiss can help harmonize the power and restore him to normal."
Kita Ikuyo: "…Ryo-senpai, how are you able to translate that?!"
Yamada Ryo said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, I am a genius."
Kita Ikuyo: "…"
"Is that so…"
Ijichi Nijika silently bit her lower lip, a look of struggle on her pretty face.
The answer book's questions had been used up, so it couldn't be relied on now. They could only choose to trust Hana's method.
But kissing Kitahara-kun in front of everyone, no matter how she thought about it, was too embarrassing!
However, after only a few seconds of hesitation, seeing Kitahara Makoto's condition worsening, Ijichi Nijika quickly took a deep breath, clenched her small fists, and said:
"…I'll try."
Kitahara-kun was invaded by the black mist because he saved me, so I must take responsibility no matter what!
The Shimokitazawa Archangel is definitely not someone who forgets kindness!
"Eh?" Kita Ikuyo's eyes widened, and she quickly looked over, "Nijika is really going to kiss him?"
"There's no other way…"
Ijichi Nijika took a deep breath, her pretty face flushed, and walked to Kitahara Makoto.
Bocchi-chan parted her pink lips, wanting to speak, but the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
(I, I'm not even dating Kitahara-kun… At a time like this, I can only rely on Nijika-senpai…)
Looking at Kitahara Makoto, whose eyes were bloodshot and still had black mist swirling within them, Ijichi Nijika bit her lower lip, a hint of distress and worry flashing in her eyes. She no longer dared to hesitate, held her breath, and directly kissed Kitahara Makoto's cheek.
"…"
A few seconds later.
Ijichi Nijika straightened up, quickly took two steps back, her pretty face flushed, and wiped her lips, observing Kitahara Makoto's condition.
However, Kitahara Makoto was still kneeling in place, appearing unchanged.
"Hana, I've kissed him. Why is Kitahara-kun still unchanged?"
Ijichi Nijika looked at the Beast Eared Girl in confusion.
The Beast Eared Girl extended her small hand, pointed at Ryo beside her, and said expressionlessly: "It needs to be a kiss like Papa had with the nice person last time."
"Eh, eh, eh?!"
Ijichi Nijika's eyes widened instantly.
A kiss like Ryo and Kitahara-kun had, didn't that mean kissing the cheek wasn't enough, and it had to be a proper kiss?
"Wait a minute." Kita Ikuyo turned her head in shock, looking at Ryo, and puffed out her pink cheeks, "When did Ryo-senpai kiss Kitahara-kun?"
Yamada Ryo said nonchalantly:
"Well, when we entered the Otherworld last time, we encountered some unexpected situations… It's a long story, so I won't tell it."
Kita Ikuyo clenched her small fists: "Hurry up and explain it clearly!"
Yamada Ryo tilted her head and looked over: "Kita Ikuyo isn't dating Kitahara Makoto, so why does she care?"
"I, I don't care at all!" Kita Ikuyo immediately panicked, her gaze drifting, and she stammered, "I'm just curious!"
"Ryo-senpai and Kitahara-kun's contact was just an accident. We can talk about it slowly when we get back." Ijichi Nijika took a deep breath, her tone worried, "…The most important thing now is to get Kitahara-kun to wake up."
After a pause, Ijichi Nijika clenched her small fists: "…I can only try Hana's method."
After speaking, Ijichi Nijika took a deep breath, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, her pretty face flushed, and bent down again towards Kitahara Makoto.
"It's all because of me… I must take responsibility!"
Looking at Kitahara Makoto's face, which was inches away, Ijichi Nijika's pretty face was burning hot, her heart racing, especially since she was being watched by the others, which made the embarrassment level skyrocket.
"If it can really help Kitahara-kun, a first kiss… if it's sacrificed, then it's sacrificed!"
Ijichi Nijika took a deep breath, then suddenly pressed her lips against Kitahara Makoto's.
"Sh-she really kissed him…"
Kita Ikuyo covered her face with both hands, her small face slightly red, but her fingers were wide open, looking in shock at Nijika, who had sacrificed her purity.
Ryo had her arms crossed over her chest, her expression calm, as if she had no emotional fluctuations.
Bocchi-chan quietly clenched her small fists, her peach blossom eyes peeking through her thick bangs, looking at the two with a wronged expression…
Lips touched.
Ijichi Nijika could clearly feel that Kitahara Makoto's lips were sometimes burning hot and sometimes icy cold, indicating his condition was indeed very bad.
Fortunately, the most worrying situation did not occur; Kitahara Makoto did not actively invade.
"If I were to be pulled into a string in front of everyone…" Ijichi Nijika couldn't help but let her mind wander, "I would definitely commit suicide from holding my breath!"
After running out of breath, Ijichi Nijika quickly straightened up, her pretty face flushed, and quickly wiped her lips, enduring the embarrassment as she observed Kitahara Makoto's changes, quickly becoming pleasantly surprised:
"Eh, the red in Kitahara-kun's eyes seems to have faded!"
Yamada Ryo nodded: "It has indeed faded a bit."
"It's good that it's effective… Let's do it again."
Ijichi Nijika endured her shame, took a deep breath, and continued to help harmonize the yin and yang.
However, after the second kiss, Kitahara Makoto's condition remained unchanged.
"What's going on?" Ijichi Nijika couldn't help but become nervous, "Hana, why isn't the kiss working anymore?"
The Beast Eared Girl looked up with her small face: "Kiss, not enough, other nice person."
Yamada Ryo translated from the side: "Nijika alone isn't enough. Others must sacrifice their purity."
"…"
The air immediately fell silent.
"I'll do it."
Yamada Ryo stepped forward with a righteous air.
Under the gaze of the other girls, Yamada Ryo walked to Kitahara Makoto, bent down, and then kissed him nonchalantly, as if it wasn't a kiss, but just a very ordinary physical contact.
However, in a place no one saw, the girl's clear, fair earlobe was clearly tinged with a blush.
A moment later.
Yamada Ryo straightened up and raised her hand to wipe her lips.
"It really worked." Ijichi Nijika breathed a sigh of relief, "The blood-red in Kitahara-kun's eyes has faded a lot more… but he still hasn't returned to normal."
The Beast Eared Girl said expressionlessly: "Not enough, still need a kiss."
"…"
Nijika and Ryo had already kissed him. The only remaining people who could provide the seal were Kita Ikuyo and Bocchi-chan. As for the cousin they had just found, it was clearly not appropriate to ask her.
"Why is Nijika-senpai looking at me?" Kita Ikuyo's face turned crimson, and she quickly shook her head, "No, no, that kind of thing definitely isn't allowed, right?!"
Yamada Ryo tilted her head and looked over, her tone faint:
"Kita Ikuyo doesn't want Kitahara-kun to suffer a mishap, does she?"
Kita Ikuyo: "…"
