"...You dared to reach out right after the lights were turned off?"
Ijichi Nijika opened her eyes in shame and anger, turning her head to look at Kitahara Makoto.
"When Ryo falls asleep, won't you just completely crawl over!"
Seeing Kitahara Makoto brazenly fumbling around, Ijichi Nijika couldn't bear it anymore and pinched Kitahara Makoto's hand.
Her original intention was to warn Kitahara Makoto to quickly take his hand away, but instead of retreating, Kitahara Makoto grabbed Nijika's soft hand and quickly intertwined their fingers.
"Let go..."
Ijichi Nijika tried to break free, but Kitahara Makoto held on tightly, making it impossible to escape.
"No letting go," Kitahara Makoto whispered, "Nijika-senpai put my pillow in the middle, so I have nothing to hug. Then let me hold your hand while we sleep."
"Excuse!"
Ijichi Nijika was both shy and angry, biting her silver teeth:
"That's clearly the pillow I just took out of the closet!"
Saying he couldn't sleep without a pillow was clearly an excuse! Whether it was the fragmented visions of the future or their interactions these past few days, she had never seen him use a pillow!
Kitahara Makoto was unmoved and continued to intertwine their fingers:
"I don't care, I don't care, anyway, I want to hold Senpai's hand while I sleep."
"..."
Ijichi Nijika's skin was too thin after all. Faced with the unreasonable Kitahara Makoto, she couldn't think of a countermeasure and was worried that too much noise would be discovered by Yamada Ryo, so she could only bite her silver teeth lightly, tacitly agreeing to the little secret of intertwined fingers.
Time quietly slipped away, minute by minute.
Ijichi Nijika had originally thought she would be too nervous to sleep, but who knew her heart rate only accelerated for a short while before quickly calming down.
Not only that.
A strange sense of security even welled up in her heart.
Not long after, Ijichi Nijika felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, subconsciously holding Kitahara Makoto's right hand in return, and then unknowingly drifted into a dream.
As for Yamada Ryo, her breathing had already become even.
Kitahara Makoto, however, was still quite awake, waiting silently in the dark.
A moment later.
A gentle throb came from his mind.
"It seems I've entered the Dream World woven by Hana..."
Kitahara Makoto let out a soft breath, then launched an attack in nightmare form.
There's no need to say much about what happened in the dream.
Hana worked for money; as long as the cake was in place, the service was naturally satisfying, and the Dream World she wove was indeed a classic scene from "Survival Road."
In the dream, Kitahara Makoto and Nijika studied together, practiced dancing with Ryo, and occasionally went out to fight zombies for entertainment. This continued for about a week until both girls felt bored and wanted to return to the real world. Only then did Kitahara Makoto communicate with Hana in his mind, asking Hana to end the dream business.
Waking up from sleep.
It was already dawn, with faint morning light appearing outside the window.
"Mmm..."
As soon as Kitahara Makoto opened his eyes, he heard a soft murmur by his ear.
Borrowing the faint morning light, he could see that Ijichi Nijika had crossed the pillow at some point, and her entire body had burrowed over, holding his arm tightly like an octopus.
"What time is it?"
Ijichi Nijika opened her eyes groggily.
"Half past five," Kitahara Makoto responded softly, "It's still very early."
Ijichi Nijika's voice was sleepy: "Then I'll sleep a little longer..."
As everyone knows.
If you dream a lot at night, you will feel mentally tired and listless the next day.
This was Ijichi Nijika's state at the moment.
The Dream World woven by Hana didn't have a specific time scale, but the three of them had indeed stayed for a long time. Now that she was awake, Ijichi Nijika felt as if she had stayed up all night, extremely tired.
"Nijika-senpai, I want to kiss you."
In a daze, Kitahara Makoto's voice sounded by her ear.
Ijichi Nijika wanted to refuse, but her eyelids were so heavy she couldn't open them at all, even feeling that the voice she just heard was just an illusion.
The next second.
Ijichi Nijika felt the familiar burning touch imprinted on her lips, proving that what she had just heard was not an illusion.
"Mmm..."
Ijichi Nijika subconsciously parted her pink lips, allowing Kitahara Makoto to invade.
The three of them had stayed in the Dream World for a long time, and Kitahara Makoto certainly wouldn't be well-behaved and honest. Instead, he would seize every opportunity to tease Nijika and Ryo.
After being teased many times, Ijichi Nijika slowly became accustomed to it.
Like now.
Her brain was incredibly tired, coupled with the habits unknowingly formed in the Dream World, which made Ijichi Nijika instinctively cooperate with the kissing.
However, Kitahara Makoto only kissed for a short while, then quickly stopped.
"Hoo..."
Ijichi Nijika let out a soft sigh of relief, feeling a bit confused in her grogginess.
"It ended so quickly?"
Facts proved that Kitahara Makoto did not end there, but shifted his position.
Ijichi Nijika soon felt a tickle on her neck, and her drowsiness couldn't help but dissipate by half:
"He's... he's kissing my neck?"
Although it was the first time her neck had been kissed, Kitahara Makoto's movements were very light and gentle, not making her uncomfortable at all, but rather giving her an indescribable sense of comfort.
Coupled with the fact that her drowsiness had not completely dissipated, Ijichi Nijika did not protest immediately, but chose to acquiesce.
However, not long after, Kitahara Makoto let go of Nijika's slender neck.
"Hoo..."
Ijichi Nijika secretly let out a sigh of relief, thinking it was finally over.
However, not long after, Ijichi Nijika realized she was wrong, incredibly wrong.
Kitahara Makoto had no intention of ending there; instead, he chose to push his luck.
The Nijika-brand steamed bun successfully entered his mouth.
"Mmm--"
Ijichi Nijika's eyes widened, her head suddenly tilted back, and her unseen toes beneath the blanket suddenly arched.
"Nijika, what's wrong?"
Yamada Ryo asked groggily.
"N-nothing..."
Ijichi Nijika's pretty face was flushed, and her voice was trembling slightly.
"A-a mosquito just bit me..."
At the same time.
Kitahara Makoto's movements also stopped.
Fortunately, the light in the room was dim, so Yamada Ryo didn't discover the secret snack.
"Fighting zombies is so fun, Nijika never joins us..."
Yamada Ryo's voice was sleepy, talking about what happened in the dream.
"I have no interest in zombies at all... Ah!"
Ijichi Nijika let out another soft cry.
"Another mosquito?"
"Y-yes..."
Ijichi Nijika's voice trembled, and she felt utterly mortified.
Ryo was already awake and talking right next to them, and he still dared to... How dare he!
If she were discovered, she would never be able to face Ryo again!
Ijichi Nijika held her breath, secretly pushing Kitahara Makoto, wanting him to leave quickly.
But Kitahara Makoto completely ignored her, continuing to slowly savor.
Pushing his luck!
He was clearly pushing his luck!
Shame and nervousness swept through her body, making Ijichi Nijika's body incredibly sensitive. Her voice and body trembled simultaneously, and she still had to be careful not to let Yamada Ryo discover them. Ijichi Nijika felt like she was going to break.
I'm tired.
Let it be destroyed.
Let this world be destroyed quickly!
"I'm going to the bathroom..."
Yamada Ryo yawned and sat up.
"I, I'm going too!"
Ijichi Nijika seized the opportunity, pinched Kitahara Makoto hard, and then, flustered, got up and fled.
No.
Must escape.
It is said that during that period, boys' rationality would return to zero, degenerating into beasts. Once Ryo-senpai left, Kitahara Makoto would surely escalate, right?
He might even take advantage of people like in those short films...
Escape!
Must escape!
