Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Zhenfei couldn't help but think back to the afternoon when she had burst into tears in Gao Hai's arms.

That feeling of grievance and pain has not completely disappeared even now.

After realizing that as a team trying to survive, she couldn't leave Gao Hai or stop other women from getting close to him, the girl's feelings of grievance and sadness never subsided. She only calmed down a little after venting to Gao Hai.

Why?

She really wanted to confront Gao Hai at that moment.

Why should this kind of thing happen to me? Why should you, you bastard, get entangled with other women? Why should I be the one to give in?

These words swirled in the girl's mind, but she ultimately didn't say them aloud.

Because she knew it was pointless to question Takahashi with those words; she had chosen to keep him hanging from the start, and she had chosen not to respond to him. Moreover, Fujiwara Chika had given her life to save him. After being imprisoned in the rock crevice for dozens of days, it was that woman who chose to strap a bomb to herself and trigger the killing rule in her veins to save Takahashi.

Such a sincere act would naturally win favor; if Haijun wasn't moved by it, then he wouldn't be him.

However, I still feel very unhappy.

"Ugh……"

Maki sighed as she soaked in the bathtub.

She lowered her head, examining her fair body, and then couldn't help but think of Fujiwara Chika's terrifying frontal armor, her expression darkening.

If I hadn't run away from Haijun's house that day...

No, there's no point in thinking about that now, and besides, I could never accept something like that anyway.

So annoying...

Dating is really hard.

I just like someone, why did I have to go through this?

Maki sighed again, leaned against the side of the bathtub, and looked up at the mirror in the bathroom that was covered with water droplets.

Let's go on a date with Haijun again tomorrow.

Then, in a couple of days, when Haijun comes to the school for his security guard interview, I'll take him for a walk around the school. Hmm, he was wearing sunglasses when he hugged me at school, so he shouldn't be recognized by other students, right?

So, what is Haijun doing these days?

Maki suddenly felt like trying to use the blessing that links them together, and wanted to move to Gao Hai's side to check on the situation.

However, she eventually gave up on the idea. After all, it was already very late, and if she suddenly disappeared from home, it would be difficult to explain to her family. Therefore, it was better not to do that.

slam-la-

I got out of the bathtub, dried myself off, and changed into my pajamas.

Princess Zhenfei let out a long sigh and strode back to her bedroom.

Meanwhile, at Gao Hai's home.

"Whoa!"

Chika's panicked, mournful cry echoed from the bathroom.

"What's wrong?!"

Gao Hai, who was outside the door, heard the sound and came over to ask.

"N-nothing, the water is just a little cold."

Chika's voice came through the door in a muffled sound.

"The water heater in the house is quite old, so you have to let the water run for a while before you get hot water."

Gao Hai patiently explained the situation to Chika, and the girl responded with "oh oh" sounds from the bathroom, followed by the sound of running water.

This is the second girl to take a shower at Gao Hai's house.

Unlike Maki, who took a shower at home after getting caught in the rain last time, Fujiwara Chika is staying here this time.

Gao Hai had already tidied up the guest rooms on the first floor.

As for the idea of ​​sleeping together, Gao Hai had such thoughts, but considering that Qian Hua was only reluctantly going along with him, he felt that such a forced relationship would be unpleasant, so he decisively gave up on this option.

It's still a real shame, though. Tsk, both Maki and Chika stirred his fire and then abandoned him for various reasons. What kind of situation is that? Do Japanese girls like this kind of back-and-forth?!

To calm himself down, Gao Hai finally chose to play a game. He selected an extremely difficult roguelike dungeon game and set it to the highest difficulty. In less than half an hour, one of his four recruited heroes went berserk and three died. Looking at the results screen that made his blood pressure soar, Gao Hai's mood immediately calmed down.

Great, then there shouldn't be any problems.

"Ah Hai, can you help me blow-dry my hair?"

The sound of the door opening and Chika's voice rang out at that moment.

"Oh that's fine."

Gao Hai responded in agreement, then turned his head and froze.

The girl standing at the door blinked and gave Gao Hai a sly smile.

She didn't wear the t-shirt and shorts that Gao Hai had prepared for her.

At this moment, the woman who appeared in front of Gao Hai, Fujiwara Chika, was only wearing a bath towel.

Her fair shoulders and collarbone were clearly visible.

Both thighs were also almost completely visible.

For Gao Hai, who had finally managed to calm down, the impact of this scene was far greater than the patriarch's nagging in the game.

"Why you……"

"Um, the clothes are a little uncomfortable in my chest, hehe, anyway, this bath towel is quite big, so I just wrapped it around myself. And I did take precautions, you know, see for yourself—"

Chika chuckled smugly and released her grip on the towel, revealing a small clip on it to Takahashi.

Should I use clips to hold the bath towel in place to prevent it from falling?

Gao Hai nodded expressionlessly, and then saw Qian Hua walk up and hand him the hair dryer.

"Then, please ask Ah Hai for help."

Chika tilted her head and chuckled as she spoke.

Do you want me to help you blow-dry your hair, or do you want me to help you step onto the adult ladder?

Gao Hai really wanted to give a serious critique, but considering the awkward situation that might result from such a critique, he simply took the hair dryer without saying a word, then moved a stool over for Chika to sit down, and stood behind the girl to dry her hair.

Amidst the buzzing sound, Gao Hai gently stroked Qian Hua's long pink hair, while the girl hummed a song softly, closing her eyes contentedly as Gao Hai played with her hair.

It has to be said that drying long hair after it gets wet is quite troublesome, and it took Gao Hai a lot of time to dry Chika's hair. After confirming that her hair was dry, the girl, who was only wrapped in a bath towel the whole time, saw that Gao Hai had gone to play games again, so she happily went up behind him to watch him play.

The delicate fragrance from the girl's hair wafted into my nostrils.

Feeling Chika's presence behind him, Takahashi found himself unable to concentrate on the game screen.

【youdied】

Not long after, large, blood-red characters appeared, and Gao Hai's character fell on the snowfield, next to three galloping black horses.

"Hmph, Ah Hai's gaming skills are really bad."

Chika, who was standing behind Gao Hai, laughed.

"Uh, no, it was just an accident."

Gao Hai, of course, would never admit that he was bad at the game; he simply switched to another game and started playing again.

Then the surrounding air became clearer, and I could even feel a soft touch on one shoulder.

Chika leaned directly onto the back of Gao Hai's chair, her body touching his shoulder.

I could feel her breath on my neck.

And the tingling sensation of the hair falling down on the skin.

【die】

Then, after a short while, these large red characters appeared on the screen.

"Hehehe, Ah Hai doesn't seem to be doing so well."

Even without turning his head, Gao Hai could imagine the smug expression on Chika's face.

There is no doubt that she did it on purpose.

This girl really likes playing with fire.

"Actually, there's another game that I'm particularly good at, and I'm sure I won't lose."

Then Gao Hai spoke softly.

"Oh, what game—wait a minute?!"

Before the girl could finish speaking, Gao Hai turned his head and kissed her lips directly.

You can see the panicked look on Chika's face.

But then she quickly calmed down, staring at him with wide eyes, her gaze even carrying a hint of provocation.

Gao Hai then stuck out his tongue expressionlessly.

"Woo...Woo..."

Chika panicked a bit and instinctively tried to struggle.

However, Gao Hai naturally wouldn't give her a chance. He reached out and pressed Qianhua's head down, firmly fixing her in place. He kissed her deeply, forcing her to confront him directly.

The girl's breathing quickly became rapid.

Before long, Gao Haisong spoke, and Qianhua almost sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Ugh, what kind of game is this...?"

Chika, her cheeks flushed, protested with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

"How can this not be considered a game? Besides, I've already won!"

Now it was Gao Hai's turn to show a smug expression.

Gradually, it became late at night.

As the clock approached midnight, Takashi turned off the game console and prepared to go to bed. Chika, who had stayed in the game room watching him play until now, yawned and prepared to go back to her guest room on the first floor to sleep.
