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

Oh no, it seems like the progress has stalled here.

Until Jackie pushed open the door and walked out as if hypnotized.

Huh? What's going on now?!

58. The Strange Pocket Watch

A few minutes earlier, when Shirakawa and the Mito sisters made contact.

Jackie and Ayako discussed their strategy behind the door.

"Hey, why isn't Anshi Hiroshi following the plan?" According to Shirakawa's plan, Anshi should have ordered all the girls on the rooftop to capture Shirakawa.

"Looks like he's not so stupid after all."

"And who are these two?" Jackie asked, pointing to the two sisters.

Midori Maki and Midori Sakura were rubbing against Shirakawa's sides, making Ako and Jackie unable to bear watching.

"The Mido sisters in our class are Shirakawa's neighbors, and they have a pretty good relationship with him."

"Wow, so many people seem to like him? Who else in your class likes Xiaobai?"

"No, but why are you so concerned about Shirakawa? Could it be that you..."

"Impossible, how could that be?" Jackie waved her hands repeatedly. "We're just good friends, don't talk nonsense."

"I understand..." Ako often played those visual novel dating simulation games, and that's probably how the tsundere characters in them would respond.

Things did not go as expected, and the Mido sisters began to act more and more boldly.

If this continues, Shirakawa will be fighting two people on the rooftop in full view of everyone!

"Yako, I'll go in first."

"how?"

"If things drag on like this, it will be very disadvantageous for us. Xiaobai is also tied up now and can't come according to his plan."

"I'll go with you." Yako thought Jackie was going to fight Anshi to the death, so she volunteered to fight alongside him.

"No need. I'm the only one here who can't be hypnotized. I have my own plans. You just need to act according to the situation here."

After Jackie finished speaking, she used her shoulder to push open the rooftop door, still pretending to walk like a zombie.

Her sudden appearance surprised everyone present.

She walked step by step to the front of the line and waited.

It turned out to be the case.

Jackie wanted to pretend to be hypnotized so that she could take the pocket watch while Anshi Hiroshi was giving her orders.

This tactic is very dangerous; if An Shi discovers it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

An Shihongzhi's eyes lit up when he saw the female exchange student wearing a men's school uniform.

With her blue-green eyes and highlighted hair, her appearance stands out among the group of Japanese girls, making her a good choice for a change of pace.

"come here!"

Jackie stepped forward blankly.

Anshi showed Jackie his pocket watch, then pointed to his slightly chubby cheeks and ordered her, "You, kiss this."

Hypnosis also requires a process; you can't jump straight into the main topic.

Just like with the girl we just hypnotized, if you do it directly when she refuses the command, it will make her completely wake up.

Jackie approached step by step, bending slightly as she slowly drew near to Anshi Hiroshi.

"Hey, you bastard!!!" Shirakawa roared, feigning anger, in order to attract Anshi's attention and make it easier for Jackie to succeed.

Anshi Hiroshi closed his eyes slightly, preparing to receive a sweet kiss from the beautiful girl.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

what?

Jackie was clutching a small earring in her hand, the tip of which was stained with bright red blood, and blood was seeping from a wound on her wrist.

Anshi's pocket watch was also snatched by Jackie.

Success! Jackie's first reaction upon receiving the pocket watch was to use it to restore everyone to their original state.

However, Jackie suddenly felt a wave of nausea, as if she had picked up something disgusting like a cockroach or a rat. Her stomach churned, her head throbbed, and she could vaguely hear a woman whispering in her ear.

Jackie couldn't understand what she was saying, but the sound made her feel very uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of Jackie's momentary lapse in concentration, An Shi kicked her hand, causing the pocket watch to fall to the ground.

The moment the pocket watch hit the ground, Shirakawa broke free from the Mido sisters, strode forward, and pounced like a basketball player grabbing a loose ball to snatch the pocket watch.

Anshi, clutching his wrist, didn't have time to bend over. In his haste, he stepped on the pocket watch and kicked it hard. The metal pocket watch slid down the ground, causing Shirakawa to miss his target.

For the safety of the students, the rooftop is surrounded by a green mesh iron fence.

The pocket watch slipped out from a gap under the fence.

The gap was small, only big enough for one arm to fit through.

A third of the pocket watch's volume protruded from the edge of the rooftop; if one were not careful, the watch would fall to the ground below.

"Everyone, seize them!!" An Shihongzhi commanded.

Upon hearing the order, all the girls on the rooftop began to surround Shirakawa and Jackie.

Jackie covered her head, feeling dizzy and weak, sweating profusely, and tried her best to stabilize herself.

Oh no, there's no time left.

Shirakawa pushed off with his hind legs, leaped forward, and reached for the pocket watch.

Fortunately, there was a chain attached to the watch, and you could get the pocket watch by grabbing the thin chain.

But that's easier said than done.

Shirakawa leaned to the side, his shoulder pressed against the fence and the ground, his hands constantly reaching out and grabbing.

The other hypnotized girls grabbed Shirakawa's feet and clothes, trying to drag him out.

Shirakawa's other hand gripped the mesh of the fence tightly, his toes hooking onto the underside of the fence. The wire mesh was digging into his fingertips, causing them to swell and turn red due to poor blood circulation.

Once I get the pocket watch, everything will be over!

In his haste, Anshi Hiroshi kicked Shirakawa repeatedly in the back and lower back, the pain causing Shirakawa to groan with each kick.

Upon seeing this, even the hypnotized Mido sisters stepped forward and pulled on Hiroshi Anshi's body, trying to protect Shirakawa.

Jackie also recovered and began to stop the group of girls from pulling at Anshi.

On the rooftop, two men and a group of women were pushing and shoving each other, creating chaos.

Just a little bit, just a little bit!

Shirakawa has already touched the chain and will soon be able to get the pocket watch.

Seeing this, Anshi Hiroshi became furious. He flung the Mido sisters away and, as if he had gone mad, stomped hard on Shirakawa's shoulder.

Shirakawa's hand trembled slightly, but this tremor caused the pocket watch to shake. The chain flew swiftly from Shirakawa's fingertips, and the pocket watch fell freely from the high-rise building to the grass in the green belt below.

"Hurry up!" Bai Chuan shouted, but his whole body ached, and his arm was sore and numb from insufficient blood supply.

Upon seeing his pocket watch fall, An Shihongzhi hurriedly began running downstairs.

Jackie followed closely behind, desperately chasing after Anshi.

Shirakawa managed to pull himself out of the gap and staggered downstairs.

The sound of three people's footsteps, like the beat of a drum, echoed in the hallway.

The students in the classroom were also attracted by the sound, and they gathered on both sides of the corridor, swaying as they walked downstairs.

Wait until we get downstairs.

Fat otaku Anshi can't outrun Jackie at all.

Jackie pulled on Anshi's shoulder, stretched out her leg, tripped Anshi, and stepped on him, making it impossible for him to get up.

"Xiao Bai! Go get the watch quickly."

Shirakawa nodded, clutching his injured shoulder, and quickly ran towards the green belt.

But suddenly, a thin figure stood up from the grass in the green belt.

Yes, that's right!

Yako was clutching the pocket watch in her hand.

That's great! It was definitely the right decision to leave Ako behind!

We have won this time.
