In the time loop, I do whatever I want

Matsukaze Mayu nodded at first, then seemed a little hesitant: "But A-Cheng is very capable. He's good at everything he does."

"That's why it would be even more rewarding if we beat him."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was in high spirits at that moment.

That's how it's done in shonen manga; to create a sense of accomplishment, you have to portray the villains as powerful enough.

Fushimi Makoto happens to be the powerful type in their eyes.

Matsukaze Mayu neither refuted nor agreed; that was just her personality. Since her best friend had made up her mind, she was willing to go along with it.

“Fushimi, you come up with the idea.” Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed at Fushimi Makoto’s face, deliberately letting out a wicked laugh: “If the prize you come up with doesn’t satisfy us, then we’ll have to punish you.”

“This is completely unfair.” Fushimi Makoto said this while skillfully shuffling the cards.

He put on a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he spoke: "If the stakes for playing cards are too high, can you accept that?"

“I have no objection,” Hiratsuka Shizuka said first.

“Me too,” Mayu Matsukaze chimed in.

With a snap, Makoto Fushimi placed the shuffled playing cards on the table: "For every game you lose, you either have to take off a piece of clothing or drink a glass of water."

He even brought out a 300ml water cup: "Just this size."

"what?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka and Matsukaze Mayu were both stunned.

I told you to do something exciting, but I didn't tell you to do something this exciting!

Hiratsuka Shizuka unconsciously brought her legs together, pressed her hands against her pants, and glared at Fushimi Makoto with a flushed face.

Matsukaze Mayu's face also flushed, but she didn't object.

Given the close relationship between the three of them, and the fact that they had done everything they could, it seemed that this kind of prize was the only way to satisfy the desire for "excitement."

Moreover, this kind of game sounds exciting, similar to intimate little games that lovers would play.

“I have no objection,” Matsukaze Mayu said again.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked over in disbelief.

Matsukaze Mayu blushed and said, "As long as A-Cheng continues to be the landlord, the two of us can continue to work together."

Hiratsuka Shizuka perked up.

Yeah, it's not like I'll necessarily lose.

If the two of us keep winning, we can strip this guy bare!

Just imagining the scene of Makoto Fushimi being stripped naked by her and then awkwardly covering certain areas with his hands ignited her fighting spirit.

“Wait, there’s no rule in Dou Dizhu that forces you to choose your role,” Fushimi Makoto interrupted the two.

Hiratsuka Shizuka coughed: "But this is our first time playing, so I think we can add this restriction."

Fushimi Makoto looked troubled: "This is too unfair."

Hiratsuka Shizuka rarely saw such an expression on his face, and she immediately became excited: "Come on, come on, there's no one else here anyway..."

Her face flushed as she spoke, and she mustered her courage to ask, "Don't you want Mayu and me to keep losing?"

"I want to," Fushimi Makoto admitted.

"Let's get started quickly. As long as you win, we absolutely won't cheat!"

"Okay, let's try it out first."

Fushimi Makoto appeared embarrassed, but inwardly he was already grinning from ear to ear.

He possesses superhuman perception, so no matter what his opponents are thinking or how they play their cards, they are practically transparent to him.

Of course, luck is indeed a very important factor in games like Dou Dizhu.

But Makoto Fushimi still has a trump card up his sleeve.

He had just keenly sensed that Matsukaze Mayu didn't actually want to win...

Although he didn't understand why Matsukaze Mayu had temporarily become a "traitor," now that his situation was stable, all he needed to do was welcome victory.

As the game began, Makoto Fushimi got a good hand in the first round, and Mayu Matsukaze was the mole again, so he won this round very easily.

"This time my luck was a bit bad," Hiratsuka Shizuka muttered, casually taking off... one sock.

Matsukaze Mayu paused for a moment, then suppressed a laugh and followed suit, taking off one of her little white socks as well.

"Alright, continue," Hiratsuka Shizuka urged.

Fushimi Makoto sighed: "Even a sock counts?"

"How can that not count?"

"You might as well just drink a glass of water."

"I'm not thirsty now, thank you."

The more Fushimi Makoto pretended to have a headache, the happier Hiratsuka Shizuka became.

But she didn't realize that she had unknowingly fallen into a trap.

In the following rounds, Matsukaze was truly played by this mole. She could have played a card, but she pretended not to have any big cards.

Amidst Hiratsuka Shizuka's frantic mutterings, Fushimi Makoto won five consecutive matches.

They each made a point of drinking a glass of water. Although 300 milliliters wasn't much, it was enough for them when they didn't feel like drinking.

Therefore, the scene in the living room changed.

Makoto Fushimi was still wearing the same clothes as before, calmly shuffling the cards.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was left with only her top, and she had to press down the hem of the top to sit tightly in her seat.

Matsukaze Mayu fared better because she had a quick idea: she took off her inner garment first, leaving her with a perfectly intact school uniform skirt.

Her figure was just too good. Even though she was still wearing her top and uniform skirt, without the clothes underneath, her extremely mature and sexy curves were still perfectly outlined.

"This can't be right. Why are we always losing? Is this guy's luck with cards really that good?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's cheeks were flushed, and she didn't dare to leave her seat.

"This kind of gameplay really requires a lot of luck," Matsukaze Mayu said guiltily.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was also embarrassed at this moment and had no idea that her best friend was the mole. She gritted her teeth and urged Fushimi Makoto to shuffle the cards quickly.

She has to win it back.

In the parlance of shonen manga: She has a reason why she can't lose!

Although Makoto Fushimi sensed Shizuka Hiratsuka's determination, unfortunately, he also had his reasons for not being able to lose.

Matsukaze Mayu stopped acting as the mole, but Fushimi Makoto got a royal flush and four twos in the last hand, and he had no idea how he was going to lose.

As he played his trump card, he turned to look at the stunned Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Make your choice, water or..."

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was about to say she would choose to drink water, Matsukaze Mayu, who was sitting next to her, blushed and said, "I won't choose to drink water."

Ok?

What is she saying?

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around abruptly and saw Matsukaze Mayu stand up shyly, her voice still soft and sweet: "Makoto, close your eyes first."

Fushimi Makoto obediently closed his eyes.

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared blankly as her best friend's skirt fell to the ground, momentarily speechless with surprise.

But soon, something even more surprising happened.

Because Matsukaze Mayu actually walked barefoot to Fushimi Makoto, casually pulled away the strands of hair that had fallen to the corner of her mouth, and threw her body, which was a little cool from the air conditioning but smelled wonderful, into his arms.

She was like a koala in a movie, her slender arms hooked around Fushimi Makoto's neck, and her long, fair legs straddling her sides.

cunning!

That's too cunning!

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally understood.

You're clearly just emotionally charged and using not drinking water as an excuse.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was both angry and embarrassed: "How are we supposed to play if you keep acting like this?"

Fushimi Makoto stretched his hand straight out, passing it through Matsukaze Mayuka's soft body: "I can continue."

"And what about her?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was even angrier.

Although she knew that the real reason she was angry was because the person in her arms wasn't her...

"I'm out of chips, Shizuka," Mayu Matsukaze said shyly.

Hiratsuka Seiichi was speechless for a moment.

That's absolutely true.

She could only suppress her envy and possessiveness, feigning annoyance as she said, "So, you're saying you want to hold Mayu while I play cards? Are you sure that's convenient?"

Fushimi Makoto had already opened his eyes by this time: "I also feel that this is not very convenient. How about I take her back to her room first, and then we can continue our duel?"

“Okay.” Hiratsuka Shizuka agreed to the suggestion.

But after Fushimi Makoto left with Matsukaze Mayu, he never returned...

Hiratsuka Shizuka waited blankly in the living room for five minutes before belatedly realizing she might have fallen into a trap.

"You two bastards!"

She didn't even bother to put her clothes back on and rushed over barefoot.

The playing cards in her hand were scattered all over the floor, and the whole table was a mess, but no one cared.

Because all three of them were busy.

……

Over the next few days, in addition to tutoring Eriri every day, Makoto Fushimi tested his own perception.

After Chiba influenced the husky's thinking and judgment with his perception, he kept it in mind.

After some testing, he finally figured it out.

His perception can indeed change other people's thoughts, but only if the other person has not been enhanced by the [Fantasy Badge].

His friends and classmates, as long as he focuses on changing their minds, he succeeds every time.

But Yukino and the others won't be affected.

Especially for Hiratsuka Shizuka, an older single woman who often fantasizes and is constantly "enhanced," when others are affected by Fushimi Makoto's perception, there will be at least a pause of one or two seconds, and then everything will be as usual.

Unlike Hiratsuka Shizuka, she was completely unaffected and continued doing what she was doing as if nothing had happened.

"So according to this situation, this is what Dad meant by 'only magic can defeat magic'."

Makoto Fushimi wasn't disappointed, as he hadn't originally intended to use the [Delicate Emblem] to control Yukino and the others.

After all, he's the school's superhero, not a hypnotic school superhero...

After school on Thursday, Makoto Fushimi did not go to the club room, but left with Yumiko.

Because Yumiko told Makoto Fushimi that she was going to the kendo and judo clubs, and her friends had been bothering her for days.

"Your friend wants you to join these two clubs?" Fushimi Makoto understood.

"Well, they said they saw hope for the club's future success in me. I don't want to participate myself because I don't have that much time."

"So you're still going over there now?"

"I finally went over to tell them. I have a good relationship with them. We're the kind of good friends who often go shopping together when we have nothing to do."

"I understand. So, what's the purpose of you asking me to go with you?"

"The strongest woman should walk alongside the strongest man."

When Yumiko said those words, her smile and demeanor seemed to change.

Some people at school privately say that she has the demeanor of a "queen".

And her current aura is indeed very queen-like.

However, in Fushimi Makoto's mind, even when she was in full force, she was at most just a little queen.
