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

He never expected that this skinny man would have the courage to fight back.

"**!**!" The tattooed man cursed repeatedly, wiping his eyes constantly with his sleeve.

Disorganized footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Several baseball team members rushed into the sports warehouse with baseball bats in hand.

"That's him!" Misaki Nikaido shouted, pointing at the tattooed man.

The baseball team members stepped forward and gave him a righteous beating.

Seeing this, Shirakawa finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

"Shirakawa, are you alright? Your hand... I'll take you to the infirmary." Misaki Nikaido grabbed Shirakawa's arm with one hand and hugged his waist with the other, heading straight for the infirmary.

Teachers and security guards also continued to gather in the sports storage room.

"It's all my fault. I'm the one who caused you to get hurt. If... if I hadn't gone with Okada back then, none of this would have happened." Nikaido said in a choked voice, his voice full of self-blame.

"Actually, this hand injury wasn't from a knife cut. I actually tripped and fell..." Shirakawa made up an excuse, trying to lessen Nikaido's guilt.

"You can't believe you fell like that while wrestling, don't lie to me, Shirakawa..."

It doesn't feel right to tell her now that I jumped from the third floor to find her.

It will only increase her sense of guilt.

Shirakawa had almost recovered his strength and stood up, supporting himself on Nikaido's shoulder.

"Shirakawa...do you want me to carry you?"

"No need, boss, I'm fine now."

"Is that so?" Misaki Nikaido blushed, lowered her head, and wiped away her tears, as if she had made up her mind.

Suddenly, she hugged Shirakawa tightly.

"Eh......"

The warmth emanating from Nikaido's body, and the faint fragrance of his hair near her ear.

And that large, soft flesh pressed tightly against Shirakawa's chest.

"You, Shirakawa, I've only known you for a short time, why are you helping me like this?" Nikaido buried his face in Shirakawa's shoulder and asked.

Nikaido doesn't know Shirakawa, but Shirakawa knows her!

During this period of game strategy, Shirakawa kept seeing Nikaido's character portrait in front of him, which can be described as growing fond of him over time.

The key is the game's storyline, where Nikaido seems to have been corrupted by Okada and forced to become his RPQ at his beck and call.

Having finally crossed over into the game and been given a chance to change the ending, Shirakawa naturally chose to save her.

"There's probably no reason."

Shirakawa used his uninjured hand to hug Nikaido as well, gently patting Nikaido Misaki's back to comfort her.

Nikaido looked up and met Shirakawa's gaze.

Her face was slightly rough, and she wasn't wearing heavy makeup. The eldest sister, whose face was flushed, was staring at her.

What a nice view.

Shirakawa was mesmerized.

Misaki Nikaido closed her eyes and slowly moved her face closer.

My heart started pounding.

How strange, I've never felt this way before.

It was as if Shirakawa were an old friend he had known for a long time.

Shirakawa could feel Misaki Nikaido's warm breath.

He closed his eyes.

The atmosphere had built up to this point, and it was time to let the arrow be released.

"Shirakawa-kun, are you alright?"

Suddenly, the voice of Akita's homeroom teacher came from the other end of the corridor behind them.

The two immediately separated and stood side by side, pretending that nothing had happened.

Akita noticed the two blushing and the ambiguous atmosphere between them, and suddenly understood something.

"I'm glad you're all alright. I'll head to the warehouse now." Ms. Akita left in a hurry.

"Let's go to the medical facility first... um!"

Nikaido grabbed Shirakawa by the collar with both hands, pressed him against the wall, and kissed him.

A fleeting kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"This is my first kiss," Nikaido said cryptically.

The walkthrough is progressing so fast?

Shirakawa had only been in this world for less than two days when Nikaido's older sister...

Is this the world of butter?

8. Hypnosis

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the mission to save Misaki Nikaido.

[Award awarded: Permanent residency rights in apartment building number xx, unit xx.]

[Received reward: Basic room and board voucher]

[Mission completed with a perfect rating, receiving extra rewards: 1 bottle of female eyebrow medicine and 1 bottle of purification potion.]

Shirakawa lay in the infirmary, one hand wrapped in bandages, the other fiddling with his phone.

The basic issues of food and lodging have been resolved, but what are these purification potions and eyebrow-enhancing potions?

I can understand eyebrow-touching medicine, but purification potion sounds dangerous, like something from another world.

It's best not to move unless absolutely necessary.

Shirakawa turned off his phone, picked up the melons and apples given to him by his homeroom teacher and classmates from the small cabinet next to him, and enjoyed the quiet afternoon.

Due to the seriousness of this incident, school has been dismissed early.

Okada and the tattooed man were also taken away by the police, and Nikaido, as a victim, also gave a statement to the police.

Shirakawa's injuries weren't too serious; he should be almost fully recovered after a few days of rest.

Benedict! Benedict!

There was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock..."

"Come in quickly." Without asking, Shirakawa knew who it was.

Jackie entered the room with her hands in her pockets, looking rebellious.

"Xiaobai, are you feeling better?" Jackie pulled up a stool and sat down.

"It wasn't a serious injury to begin with..."

"Ignoring minor injuries can lead to serious illnesses."

"That's true, but school's already over, what do you want from me?"

"Can't I just come and visit you when I'm bored?" Jackie laughed, taking an apple from the bedside table to eat as well. "Consider this a thank-you gift for the red bean bread."

He's so outgoing and friendly.

However, when it came to the thank-you gift, Shirakawa remembered it.

"Um, back in the library earlier..."

"how?"

"Thank you."

"I didn't do anything."

"No, because you came right away when I messaged you."

"Eh~ So?" Jackie tilted her head, moved a little closer, blinked her blue-green eyes, and asked.

Even after knowing the answer, they still ask follow-up questions.

"Well, it just makes me feel really safe," Shirakawa said, turning his head away. "Thank you..."

"You're blushing, aren't you?" Jackie giggled, like a little devil, and brought her pretty face close to Shirakawa's.

They're so close.
