"Anon-chan, can I open my eyes?"
The petite girl, with only a towel covering her, stood in the center of the candles, her hands covering her body, her voice filled with shyness.
"No, you can't." Chihaya Anon, wearing a white bathrobe, said sternly, "Momoka-chan must keep her eyes tightly closed. You absolutely cannot open them before I tell you to, otherwise not only will the nightmare curse not be removed, but the situation will become even worse."
"I-I understand…"
The little white lamb girl nodded weakly, clearly a meek and submissive personality, which is why she became Chihaya Anon's first 'test subject'.
"Also." Chihaya Anon extended her right hand, "Momoka-chan, give me your towel."
"Eh?" The little white lamb girl in the center of the candles immediately tensed up, her voice filled with shame, "W-why do you need to take the towel?"
Chihaya Anon felt a little guilty:
"Momoka-chan, don't be nervous, it's just for the ritual."
The little white lamb girl's voice was shameful: "A ritual that doesn't allow clothes… it feels so strange…"
"Don't worry about it," Chihaya Anon comforted her. "We're both girls, so it's fine to not wear clothes."
The little white lamb girl stammered: "Even if Anon-chan says so, it's still really embarrassing…"
"Bear with it, the ritual will be over in two minutes at most." Chihaya Anon promised, "Momoka-chan, we are beloved friends and family, please trust me."
"O-okay then…"
"…"
After some negotiation.
Chihaya Anon successfully obtained her friend's last modesty towel.
The little white lamb girl stood in the center of the candles, eyes tightly closed, back to the door, only able to cover her body with her hands, her face already flushed with shame.
"Done."
Chihaya Anon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Kitahara Makoto, and mouthed: "Kitahara-kun, it's your turn now."
Momoka-chan has her back to Kitahara-kun, and with only candles in the room, the light is so dim, so she shouldn't be seen, right?
I'm sorry, Momoka-chan.
To lift the curse, this is the only way. Let you suffer a little, and I'll bear the blame… As long as you don't know, you can pretend nothing happened.
Unfortunately, Chihaya Anon didn't know that Kitahara Makoto had previously received a vision enhancement reward. Although the candlelight was dim, it was enough for him to see everything clearly.
Of course, while he saw, Kitahara Makoto had no messy thoughts. After a slight nod, he quickly extended his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air towards the little white lamb girl.
The next second.
A mass of grayish-black mist suddenly appeared in Kitahara Makoto's palm.
"Indeed, this is the correct way to use the Hand of Stripping…"
Kitahara Makoto was quite satisfied. He suddenly clenched his right hand, and with a faint, hollow scream, the nightmare curse was directly crushed.
"Anon-chan, what was that sound just now?"
The little white lamb girl's body trembled, and she turned her head nervously to ask.
"Don't open your eyes." Chihaya Anon's tone was serious, "The ritual is eliminating the curse."
"I-I understand…"
On the other side.
After Stripping the curse, Kitahara Makoto didn't linger, quickly turned and left the room, returning to the hallway.
Takamatsu Tomori, meanwhile, stood in the corner where the candlelight couldn't reach, quietly closing the door.
"Momoka-chan, you can open your eyes now." Seeing that the lingering trouble was eliminated, Chihaya Anon immediately sighed in relief, her voice clear, "The nightmare curse has been resolved!"
"That fast?"
The little white lamb girl opened her eyes, her tone skeptical.
Chihaya Anon put her hands on her hips and proudly lifted her chin, saying, "Have I ever lied to Momoka-chan before?"
"No…"
"So, just trust me. Get a good night's sleep tonight, and Momoka-chan will definitely thank me first thing tomorrow morning." Chihaya Anon proudly hummed, "Next person, next person. Momoka-chan, you can go back to the onsen now."
"..."
There was no need to elaborate on what happened next.
Chihaya Anon was the Student Union President during middle school, the undisputed leader of her small group, and her words and actions were highly convincing. Although today's 'exorcism ceremony' was a bit messy, it didn't require Kitahara Makoto and the girls to have physical contact, greatly reducing the chances of exposure.
Although there were minor accidents along the way, with the cooperation of the three, Kitahara Makoto did not expose his presence and quickly and smoothly succeeded in Stripping the curses from everyone's bodies.
"It's finally over…"
Kitahara Makoto breathed a sigh of relief, lowering his voice: "Tomori-chan, let's go back first."
Regardless of their character or personality, Anon's friends were basically all beautiful girls. As Kitahara Makoto admired each one, pressure unconsciously accumulated.
"Mm."
Takamatsu Tomori covered her chest with both hands, her face flushed, and returned to the next room with Kitahara Makoto.
A moment later.
A soft knock sounded at the door.
Kitahara Makoto got up to open the door, and then Chihaya Anon, wearing a bathrobe, slipped in, her hands clasped together, her face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Kitahara-kun and Tomori-chan, for today! Tomorrow, I'm treating everyone to yakiniku!"
Kitahara Makoto said softly: "Let's talk about treating tomorrow. Tomori-chan can't go back now."
He still had to tell Chihaya Anon about the broken underwear. He had just suggested buying new underwear outside, but Takamatsu Tomori shook her head and refused, saying she wanted Anon to help.
"Eh?" Chihaya Anon looked over curiously, "What's wrong with Tomori-chan?"
"The underwear…" Takamatsu Tomori's face was crimson as she covered her chest and explained softly, "The underwear is ripped…"
Chihaya Anon: "…"
Ripped?
How big must it be to rip underwear?!
"I understand the situation, leave it to me." Chihaya Anon's tone was resentful, "Let me go back and tell my friends first, then I'll go buy underwear for Tomori-chan…"
Takamatsu Tomori's face was red: "I'm troubling Anon."
"…"
A moment later.
"Kitahara-kun, help!"
Looking at the message from Chihaya Anon, a question mark appeared directly above Kitahara Makoto's head.
You said you were going to buy underwear, why are you shouting for help?
Chihaya Anon: "I'm outside the onsen inn, Kitahara-kun, come out quickly, I can't hold on."
Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly, greeted Takamatsu Tomori, and left the room.
Stepping out of the inn, the sky had completely darkened, and it had started raining again at some point. The rain and mist were continuous, making it muggy and humid.
"Kitahara-kun, I'm here!"
Under a tree not far away, a pink-haired girl holding an umbrella waved at him.
Kitahara Makoto ran two or three steps through the rain to the tree, only to see Chihaya Anon with teary eyes and a face full of grievance.
"The steps are so slippery in the rain, I just fell, and my foot hurts so much." Chihaya Anon grabbed her skirt, her voice full of grievance, "I can't walk now."
Kitahara Makoto looked down. The pink-haired girl's knee didn't seem to be injured, and the bandage from yesterday was still on, but her skirt was soaked, so it seemed she had indeed fallen accidentally.
"Give me the umbrella." Kitahara Makoto sighed helplessly, "You go back to your room, I'll go buy things."
"No." Chihaya Anon shook her head, "I promised Tomori-chan, I must keep my word… And Kitahara-kun doesn't even know what size to buy, right?"
Sorry.
He had seen the size clearly just now.
