In the time loop, I do whatever I want

Mrs. Yukinoshita composed herself and smiled, "The ball has begun. If you'd like to dance with Yukino, you can go now..."

Then, as if she were looking forward to a laugh, she said slowly in a soft voice, "If you can't dance, then I'm really looking forward to seeing you make a fool of yourself in front of Yukino."

"Just a moment ago you were such a caring elder, and now you can say such cruel things. What they say online is true, women are indeed fickle... Please don't look at me like that, I didn't say those words."

Fushimi Makoto spoke calmly as he reached out his hand to her.

Mrs. Yukinoshita paused, then asked with a half-smile, "What does this mean?"

"It means 'invitation'."

Are you being polite?

Before Fushimi Makoto could even speak, she finished speaking as if she had already reached a conclusion: "You are impolite."

Fushimi Makoto muttered to himself, "Women are so fickle."

Mrs. Yukinoshita's gaze was cold and detached.

Fushimi Makoto remained unfazed: "But fickle women can also be very attractive."

Mrs. Yukinoshita was silent for a second, then, as if by magic, suddenly broke into a bright smile: "Like this?"

Fushimi Makoto was greatly surprised.

Fairy!

In an instant, she can transform from a dangerous aura to a gentle and charming demeanor.

Even Haruno doesn't have this skill... No, Haruno does, but she can't do it this perfectly.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Her smile remained, and her voice returned to its initial gentle tone.

Fushimi Makoto, looking wary, slowly backed away.

Seeing his expression, Mrs. Yukinoshita seemed amused: "Where's your invitation?"

With that look in her eyes and that posture, anyone who didn't know better would think she desperately wanted Fushimi Makoto to invite her to dance.

How can you play without nerfing this?

Fushimi Makoto calmly replied, "Don't try that on me, I won't fall for it."

So, Mrs. Yukinoshita extended her hand to him: "Do you think this means an invitation?"

Fushimi Makoto said without changing his expression, "Aunt Sayuri is here."

Mrs. Yukinoshita laughed: "You actually used this kind of trick to fool children in front of me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sawamura Sayuri's teasing laughter suddenly came from behind: "Oh dear, I think I've disturbed you."

Mrs. Yukinoshita's smile froze.

Fushimi Makoto suppressed a laugh and took the opportunity to slip away.

By the time she realized what was happening, Makoto Fushimi had already rushed to Yukino's table and was waving at her.

You little rascal!

She took a deep breath, and the moment she turned around, her expression had already returned to calm: "Excuse me, what did you just say?"

Sawamura Sayuri grinned, "The atmosphere seemed a bit off just now~"

Mrs. Yukinoshita retorted seemingly casually, "What do you mean?"

"That's a bit strange, isn't it?"

"It is a bit strange, just like the day you went to him for a massage."

"...Huh?"

"Little Lily, why aren't you smiling? Are you unhappy?"

"Since you know about that, does that mean I can also suspect you... huh?"

Sawamura Sayuri smiled again, deliberately not finishing her sentence and ending with a very intriguing nasal tone.

It's just about hurting each other, isn't that something anyone can do?

……

On the other side, at Makoto Fushimi's invitation, Yukino finally took his hand.

Yukino originally intended to stay there until the ball ended.

But Makoto Fushimi gave her an irresistible reason: "I'm not very good at dancing. If I accidentally step on your foot, you can stomp on it twice."

Yukino thought that statement was stupid.

But she was indeed tempted.

She had never heard of such a request before.

Moreover, she desperately needed a legitimate reason to take action against Fushimi Makoto.

Oh, I should say it's using your feet.

Eriri watched the two walk into the dance floor, and saw Makoto Fushimi holding Yukino's slender waist. Suddenly, she felt that the fruit in her hand didn't taste so good anymore.

The first thing Fushimi Makoto said when he got back was, "Want to try attending the ball? Anyone free?"

Eriri's reply was: "I have no interest!"

Now look what's happened, I'm unhappy.

“I should have agreed… I should have agreed before Yukino, even though she rejected me once. The opportunity was right there.”

Eriri muttered dejectedly.

Her current state is like someone who has argued with someone outside, and after returning home and thinking about it carefully, she realizes that she said the wrong thing and should retaliate in some way to win.

After Makoto Fushimi and Yukino finished their dance and returned, Eriri tried hard to control her expression, but then heard Makoto ask, "Eri, do you want to dance?"

“I said I won’t jump.” Eriri glanced at Yukino, whose expression was calm, and answered instinctively.

then……

Why can't I control my mouth?!

The blonde girl lowered her head, feeling as if she were wearing some kind of mask.

Moreover, it's an unattractive mask.

Chapter 358 Yukino: He's the Everyday Superman

The three men, including Fushimi Makoto, did not leave their seats until the music at the ball stopped.

Occasionally, guests would come over and chat with Fushimi Makoto and his group; some were young people, and others were older.

Most people are not familiar with each other in such situations, but those who want to improve themselves always try to seize the opportunity to become known to others.

Because of the continuous stream of guests, Eriri was no longer in a bad mood and quickly got up to greet them politely.

Finally, no one came over, and Fushimi Makoto saw that Yukino and Eriri both felt a sense of relief. He couldn't help but joke, "These meaningless greetings are really boring. If someone came to cause trouble, you two might be more alert."

Yukino didn't even bother to look at him: "Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't cause trouble for others in this kind of situation."

Eriri nodded, "I occasionally accompany my mother to these kinds of gatherings, but I've never seen anything like the situation you described."

“I’ve actually never seen it either,” Fushimi Makoto said.

"Then why did you bring this up?" the two beautiful girls asked, puzzled.

Makoto Fushimi: "That's how it's portrayed in short dramas."

Even Eriri stepped back in disgust.

After a while, Fushimi Makoto felt there was no point in staying there and said, "I'm going out for some fresh air. What about you guys?"

"Together." Yukino shared this idea.

“I’ll go too,” Eriri chimed in.

The three of them went for a walk outside the villa. Fushimi Makoto took the initiative to start a conversation, asking the two girls about their recent progress.

Yukino remained as diligent as ever; she didn't need anyone to urge her on.

She only needs to think of Ichika Nakano, who stands at the top of her peers, and her body will instantly be filled with fighting spirit.

Eriri was very interested in this topic, her face beaming with happiness: "I've clearly felt myself improving these past few days, and I even took a test..."

As she spoke, her breathing became rapid with excitement: "You'd never guess how much my speed and stamina have improved! Even my strength has increased; I can easily carry my wardrobe around the house and run back without any effort!"

Fushimi Makoto subconsciously imagined Eriri at home with nothing to do, practicing shuttle runs in the living room while carrying a huge wardrobe.

It's tough!

Yukino didn't fill in the blanks in her mind.

Because she actually experienced all of the changes Eriri mentioned.

Moreover, she knew that her improvement far surpassed Eriri's.

He punched through even such a sturdy door panel...

She couldn't help but think of the bamboo dragonfly, the Anywhere Door, and the pendant she always wore on her wrist.

Now, she has every reason to believe that the so-called scientific exercise plan is neither scientific nor reasonable.

It is metaphysics.

Like a bamboo dragonfly that can fly.

Yukino's chest heaved faster and faster; she was secretly thrilled that she had realized the truth.

However, she wouldn't tell anyone about this, not even her good friend Eriri.

Having a secret to yourself is a pleasurable thing.

With this topic in mind, the three of them, including Fushimi Makoto, stopped talking and found chairs to sit down in the villa's courtyard.

Eriri did most of the talking, with Yukino occasionally chiming in with a word or two.

Makoto Fushimi is in charge of keeping the conversation lively and ensuring there are no awkward silences.

Just as the three were chatting and laughing, a young man with long hair and fair skin walked over.

This person's hairstyle was very distinctive. Makoto Fushimi almost immediately remembered that in one of the Kamen Rider series he watched before his time travel, the character played by Takeru Satoh had this kind of long hair.

Of course, the man's hair wasn't the main point; what truly caught Fushimi Makoto's attention was the young man's identity.

Saito Sakai.

He's the one who ruined Mrs. Yukinoshita's business back then, and he's the one who angered her.

Fushimi Makoto had used the Anywhere Door to thoroughly investigate the other party's information over the past few days. This guy's schedule was too chaotic, sometimes going out during the day and sometimes late at night. Fortunately, he had all the information, and he was planning to meet the other party in a couple of days. He never expected to run into him today.

He recalled his earlier conversation with Yukino and the others about "rich people who cause trouble".

Perhaps his words will come true.

Yukino and Eriri stopped talking as they saw Sakai Saito walking towards them.

"He's the person Aunt Yukinoshita mentioned back then," Fushimi Makoto reminded her.

Yukino nodded in realization, her expression turning cold.

Eriri didn't understand, but she could sense that something was wrong, so she obediently shut up and decided to observe from the sidelines first.

"Excuse me, could I borrow a light? I forgot to bring my lighter." The other person smiled as he approached Fushimi Makoto and his companions, holding a pack of Kabila cigarettes.

That smile looked quite friendly.

However, Fushimi Makoto was able to sense the hostility in the other party's heart.

"Sakai Saito, right? Do you need something from me? Or are you looking for Yukino?" Fushimi Makoto got straight to the point.

The other person was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that Fushimi Makoto would recognize him.

His smile was somewhat enigmatic: "So, Ms. Yukinoshita told you about her?"

“You haven’t answered my question yet,” Fushimi Makoto reminded him.

Sakai Saito waved his hand dismissively: "I just wanted to chat with you guys because I just arrived and it's not interesting inside. As for you, Fushimi Makoto, I've read a lot of your news. You're quite interesting."

Makoto Fushimi: "Really? But I find you rather boring."

Saito Sakai: "Oh, it seems you have a good relationship with the Yukinoshita family. But what happened last time was actually a misunderstanding. I was drunk at the time and just thought it would be fun. You can understand drunk people, right? My mind was all muddled, and I accidentally ruined the Yukinoshita family's cooperation."
