Fortunately, Hoshino Miru quickly left the laboratory, or Futaba Rio wouldn't be able to calm down.
Just preparing to take a secret photo when the person suddenly woke up - anyone would feel nervous.
Futaba Rio touched her chest. She'd actually forgotten to turn on the alcohol lamp just now. Even she herself didn't know what she was doing - truly too embarrassing.
After calming her emotions a bit, Futaba Rio took out her phone and found the group chat particularly lively.
"Pure Little Kitty: So nervous, he replied to me, he said he'll be there soon!"
"Karin: What, it's starting now?"
"Water Mage: This is Little Kitty's super action power!"
"Want Ice Cream Today: Little Kitty! Calm down, where are you meeting?"
"Pure Little Kitty: At the school library."
"Want Ice Cream Today: Such a terrible place, doing such things can't be seen by people!"
"Pure Little Kitty: I'm a library administrator. There aren't many people here at noon."
"Want Ice Cream Today: I see. What do I do, I seem to be getting excited!"
"Super Beautiful Girl: Tsk tsk, library - a good place for business."
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: Wait, you all wait, really bringing a remote to the library?!"
Futaba Rio was slightly stunned. She remembered Hoshino Miru just said someone asked him to go to the library, coincidentally the same as what Pure Little Kitty said.
There... wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Futaba Rio felt she was overthinking. Her group members were classmates nearby. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
"Pure Little Kitty: Not chatting anymore, I already see him!"
...
On the other side, Eriri looked at the group chat records with a shocked face.
She'd only not looked at the group chat for half a day. The result was the group leader not only came back today but first drained her little boyfriend until exhausted, then came online unhurriedly.
This... this was too enviable! Damn person!
Eriri gritted her teeth. She couldn't clearly say what she was envying - anyway, she was particularly jealous and envious.
She'd been with Hoshino Miru for so long without any progress at all, while the group leader was doing it constantly - this was something she fundamentally couldn't do.
However, the hateful one was Hoshino Miru, actually turning a blind eye to her, this childhood friend!
She'd already worked so hard in doujinshi, yet Hoshino Miru showed no reaction. She was a childhood friend! Shouldn't normal people think about grabbing a childhood friend's twin tails every day!
Not only did Hoshino Miru not obediently listen, yesterday he even ganged up with Kasugano Sora to bully her, spanking her little bottom - truly too hateful!
Eriri had wanted to fiercely retaliate today, but at noon the other party didn't know where he'd run off to. She was so angry she wanted to make a voodoo doll.
While disparaging Hoshino Miru, Eriri peeked at everyone's chat messages and discovered Pure Little Kitty seemed to plan to go for real. She immediately widened her eyes.
Wait, when did her virgin group members become this bold?
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: Wait, you all wait, really bringing a remote to the library?!"
"Super Beautiful Girl: Making a fuss - not everyone is as timid as you, unable to even capture your own childhood friend."
"Karin: A certain virgin better obediently shut up."
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: That's enough from you all. Doing this will get you pinned to the ground and directly made into cream puffs!"
"Want Ice Cream Today: Otherwise?"
"Karin: Girls must use any means necessary for victory."
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: You're all too shocked!"
"Super Beautiful Girl: Though I also think it's not quite good, Childhood Friend-chan's reaction is too excited. Pure innocent virgin?"
"Karin: Definitely. In the whole group, she's the most innocent. Even secretly taking photos makes her silly happy for days."
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: I didn't! Don't slander me!"
Eriri's face turned red in the classroom. The classmates beside her found it inexplicable. Fortunately, she immediately suppressed the shame in her heart and quickly calmed down.
"Pure Little Kitty: Um, when he comes, what should I do?"
"Karin: When he comes, pretend to accidentally twist your ankle and throw yourself into his arms."
"Water Mage: Roll your skirt shorter, then find an excuse to climb the library ladder and have him help hold the ladder. That way he can see when he looks up."
"Super Beautiful Girl: Directly stuff the remote into his hand and let him figure it out!"
"Want Ice Cream Today: Take him to a corner, then secretly throw the remote in your hand on the ground. When he picks it up, just cover your skirt with a red face."
Eriri sneered coldly. As expected, all virgins. The only experience they could reference were classic plots from doujinshi.
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: Little Kitty, don't listen to them. These are all too deliberate, with no reference value."
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: Since you called him over, pretend you need his help with something. When he comes over, accidentally expose your remote."
"Want Ice Cream Today: How is this method different from my method?"
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: Hmph, it's different. If he's really the person Little Kitty likes, he definitely won't press it - he'll actively protect the girl's face."
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: So we need to find a way to make him press it. Like doujinshi where they immediately do it at the slightest disagreement - that's pure dreaming."
"Water Mage: What she said makes so much sense, I actually can't refute it."
"Karin: What dream am I having? Today I actually see Childhood Friend trying to teach us how to conquer boys?"
"Super Beautiful Girl: Understood. Someone sold their account."
Eriri gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. Though she really hadn't won over Hoshino Miru yet, they didn't need to doubt her like this, right?
She was after all a recognized beautiful girl at school. People had even given her love letters before!
Really hateful. Being a virgin didn't mean she had no experience!
Thus, Eriri decided to open their eyes.
"Iron-Blood Childhood Friend Faction: I'm too lazy to waste words with you all. Little Kitty, listen up. I'll teach you how to conquer him!"
"Pure Little Kitty: Nods obediently.jpg"
...
Soon after, Eriri received thanks from the other party and couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth. As expected, someone could still believe in her abilities.
Eriri inexplicably began looking forward to it, then felt somewhat ashamed.
How strange - it wasn't her personally going on stage, so why did she also feel nervous?
No, she wasn't nervous. She was just thinking about whether her method would work. This was a matter of face.
Eriri worked hard to make herself calm, but her brain couldn't help wildly imagining.
If she were the one with the remote, what would Hoshino Miru's reaction be?
Would it be like most plots - directly pinning her against the wall, palm touching her thigh, carrying a somewhat playful smile, then toying with the remote, suddenly pressing it when her face turned red...
Eriri's face turned red again. No good, the one going on stage wasn't her - why fantasize about this!
Right, she was just waiting for Pure Little Kitty's good news. It had nothing to do with Hoshino Miru!
