He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

But what's with the smell on him? It's so irresistible.

I want to smell it again...

"Hey, were you with Sakura last night...?" Jackie fanned the air in front of her nose, trying to stay awake.

"How did you know?"

"Of course I know, I've talked to Sakura about you too." Jackie leaned closer and whispered gossip, "So, how did the battle go last night?"

"You're asking about something like this... I'm a little embarrassed." Shirakawa didn't give a direct answer.

"Alright, alright, then I won't ask about that. But I have other questions I'm curious about."

"go ahead."

"How did you end up in the ICU? How did your wound heal so quickly? Did you get some superpowers from that goddess Ming?" Jackie kept asking.

She also wanted to know more about Shirakawa's fun and interesting things.

Yes, it is, it's probably...

Just then, the spider Cecilia bit him hard with her spider fangs.

"Ah!" Shirakawa cried out in pain.

"What's wrong? Did your injury from yesterday flare up again?" Jackie asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Well, the superpower... it just adds to my personal charm." Shirakawa quickly made up an excuse.

“Shirakawa,” Cecilia communicated through their senses, “the past is the past, and the present is the present. In the past, it didn’t matter how you survived in this world. I could still use my divine power to save you at the general store. But now, we are bound together, and you can’t casually reveal information about the two of us.”

"Not even Jackie? We're close comrades who've been through a lot together." Shirakawa didn't seem to care.

Catherine has already self-destructed, so there are no other threats to Cecilia.

"It's precisely because of her that it's not working; after all, she's related to that woman by blood."

Cecilia could always find a resemblance to Catherine in Jackie's every smile and gesture, which made her a little PTSD-prone.

Seeing her makes her feel very uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, I understand," Shirakawa reassured Cecilia.

What she said makes sense; I had indeed been too lax.

His life is now almost tied to Scythia's, so he should be careful for Scythia's sake.

"Hey, Xiaobai, what are you thinking about now?"

"Ah, no, nothing," Shirakawa quickly stammered, changing the subject. "Why did you get here so early?"

"I'm the group admin, and as the leader, I'm definitely the first one to arrive. As for you, are you feeling guilty for dragging us down, so you came early to prove your sincerity?"

"more or less."

"Hmm, but there's still more than half an hour... How about we go to the game club's activity room to rest for a bit? There are games to play there, and Ayako shouldn't be there yet," Jackie suggested. "Have you ever played King of Fighters? I've been practicing a lot lately, want to have a match with me?"

"Let's play for a while, then let's go check out the activity room."

There's nothing much to do right now, so playing some games to kill time isn't a bad idea.

---

Community activity room.

Shirakawa and Jackie chatted and laughed all the way. When they opened the door, they saw Aya lying flat on the carpet on the floor, holding a game controller in her hand, and fast asleep with a fluffy Pikachu pillow under her head.

"At this hour... Hmm... I wonder if Ayako stayed up all night here?" Shirakawa asked doubtfully.

"Maybe...?"

There are security guards patrolling the school every night, so it's highly unlikely that Ayako would stay here all night.

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, one can notice that Ayako has a thick circle of dark circles under her eyes, making her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face appear much duller, and her short blue hair is also messy.

"Shirakawa, be careful. When I came to the school before, I sensed the power of some lost items on her," Cecilia warned.

"Lost item? What item?"

“I’ve lost my power now, so it’s hard to find it… But don’t worry too much, nothing’s happened for so many days, so that item is probably not dangerous.”

"Is that so..." Shirakawa's intuition told him that something was wrong.

He turned to ask Jackie.

"You said before... that Ayako was missing for a period of time, right?"

"Yes, she disappeared and then reappeared, but she didn't tell me in detail what happened."

"That's it..."

"Oh, stop thinking about it." Jackie sat cross-legged on the blanket, picked up the controller from Ayako's hand, and turned on the PS5. "Let me show you my true strength."

"No, Jackie, aren't you worried about Ayako looking like this?"

"I'm worried, but Ayako is sleeping here now, so it's safe. Whatever happens, we'll have to wait until she wakes up! Let's play games first, let's play games first."

Jackie couldn't wait any longer and wanted to have a match with Shirakawa.

Shirakawa glanced at Ayako. Jackie was right; seeing how haggard she looked, it was best to wait until she woke up before making a decision...

He sat cross-legged on the ground, looking worried, and picked up the handle...

ten minutes later.

"No, no, you must be cheating." The screen then displayed the words "Player 1, controlled by Shirakawa, won."

She's lost three games in a row. No matter how she plays, it seems like she can't beat Xiaobai.

"I've also practiced a little," Shirakawa said with a smug smile.

Before his transmigration, Shirakawa was deceived by a scumbag woman, which led him to spend a lot of time playing games in his rented apartment.

After this intense training, even if he hadn't played for a while, he could quickly recall the feel of the game again.

In addition, the succubus blood in his body enhanced his strength, reaction, and agility.

It's more than enough for Jackie, who's a complete novice.

"It's not fun, it's so boring, I'm not playing anymore." Jackie pouted, lay down, and threw the controller on the blanket.

When playing with Ayako, she patiently guided her and occasionally let her win a couple of rounds, unlike Shirakawa who kept beating himself up.

"Hey... Jackie, don't be angry. If you practice more, you'll catch up with me sooner or later."

It's unclear whether Shirakawa was being sarcastic or trying to comfort her.

Jackie ignored Bai Chuan, turned over in a huff, took out her phone, and started chatting with someone.

Shirakawa also launched King of Fighters, constantly scrolling through his recent game records in the game menu.

"Hey, Cecilia, are any of your lost items related to the game?"

"Games... I'm not too familiar with that..."

Cecilia is an old-fashioned person; it took her several months to figure out how to use that laptop.

“Okay,” Shirakawa continued searching bit by bit until he found a strange game.

dokidoki Lolita Girlfriend

The cover features a pretty, petite, dark-haired girl carrying a small backpack, bending slightly and striking an adorable pose.

Checking her playtime, I discovered that Aya has been grinding this game like crazy these past few days...

He glanced back at Yako again. Such a pretty girl, playing a game about a loli girlfriend to the point of neglecting to eat and sleep?

We need to investigate this further.

"Let's go, Xiaobai, Xiaoxi and the others have arrived." Jieqi got up from the blanket and patted the dust off her body.

"Okay, sure." Shirakawa finished packing and got up to leave.

Let's investigate further after today's events are over.

After Shirakawa and Jackie left, the cute little girl on the screen blinked.

The flat paper cover was transformed into animation, and the body slowly began to move.

"Ako, Ako!"

The little girl kept calling out Ayako's name in a strangely childish voice.

Yako got up in a sleepwalking state, her body swaying unsteadily, and her hand gripped the handle.

"I love you so much, Ayako, I love you so much, I love you so much, I love you so much, without you, my world is a blank, I only want you, I only want to be with you,"

The little girl kept muttering to herself.

His entire body began to gradually break down, revealing a lustful smile, while he held a fruit knife in his hand.

"Ahhh, only death can separate us..."

As the little girl silently chanted like a curse, Ayako's hand gripped the handle, but her body gradually disappeared until her entire body vanished.

The handle slammed heavily onto the blanket, and the entire club room became empty. Silence reigned.

Only the game on the screen began to run slowly.
