I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

"Suko, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't you understand, Mr. Guinea Pig?"

She looked at him with amusement, suppressing her inner shame, while the tail behind her spun faster and faster.

Then, she bent down, approached Shinji Kitahara, and slowly reached out her hand toward his face.

"How oblivious you are! I've made it so obvious, Guinea Pig, why don't you understand? I..."

Just as her hand was about to touch his cheek, Alice stopped moving and her words came to an abrupt halt.

It wasn't that someone barged in at that moment, but rather that she had reached her limit.

Looking at that face so close to mine, feeling the warmth of his breath.

Despite the inner voice screaming madly, she hesitated for a long time before finally succumbing to the courage to take that final step.

After a brief stalemate, she suddenly raised her head again, still with a playful smile, and slowly began to speak.

"Of course I want you to help me take care of it."

She paused, stopping her rubbing of Kitahara Shinji, her tone somewhat enigmatic.

"You didn't get the wrong idea, did you, Guinea Pig? Well, if you'd like, considering how much you've helped me these past few days, giving you a 'reward' isn't out of the question..."

"no."

Shinji Kitahara rolled his eyes at her.

To be honest, he was genuinely taken aback by Alice's actions just now, and actually had a slight feeling that she might be about to confess her feelings to him.

Fortunately, this illusion only lasted for a moment before he returned to normal and realized that the woman was probably playing a trick on him.

And now, Alice's behavior has further confirmed his guess.

As for the reason, Shinji Kitahara thought it was probably because she was still resentful about what happened with the previous potion, so she wanted to tease him in this way and get revenge.

Furthermore, after being so frightened, Shinji Kitahara is now even less inclined to believe what Elisako says about this matter.

After all, if she's gone to such lengths to get revenge this time, she might do something even more outrageous next time.

He was mentally prepared for this and made up his mind that whatever she said next, even if it was a direct confession, he would just treat it as a joke.

After all, he's not stupid. He's been tricked by Alice in similar, but not as serious, methods many times before (though none of them worked). And now she's pulled this trick again.

Even though he's not a Saint Seiya, if he still doesn't learn his lesson after so many times, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Even so, he wasn't going to pretend nothing had happened after being tricked.

After all, she dares to do it now.

If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll probably become even more outrageous in the future, and she might go too far one day.

So, as a warning and to lower his opinion of her, after Eliseko let go of his hand, he immediately grabbed her ankle with his other hand.

Then, before she could finish speaking, his hand quickly reached up, found the right spot, and applied slight pressure.

The words stopped abruptly.

Then, after a moment of suppressed silence, pleading sobs began to echo in the temporary activity room.

It didn't stop for a long time.

Chapter 116: I Don't Mind If You Have Other Women

Since the matches between Ali Digital and Tokai Emperor were both in late August, Shinji Kitahara quickly returned to his peaceful life after punishing Ali Soko.

As for the winners' stage that followed, it went very smoothly.

Having personally cared for her during that time, Shinji Kitahara had gained a considerable understanding of Alice's physical endurance.

Although the technique was a bit stimulating, the timing was perfect, allowing her to regain basic mobility in front of the winner's stage. At most, her legs were still a little weak, and she couldn't exert much strength.

With this level of impact, it's certain that they won't be able to run the race.

But at least jumping around on the winner's stage is still fine.

So nothing unexpected happened, and we got through it smoothly.

Shortly after finishing Elise's match, Manchester City's tea house also submitted a formal application for her to join the team.

Shinji Kitahara had anticipated this.

After all, ever since he discovered that he could see and even touch his 'friends,' he could clearly feel that the Manchester tea house had started to stick to him.

Moreover, during this period, Manchester City Tea House and the horses under his name got along quite well.

Because of her shy personality and her sensible and obedient nature, she was quite popular, and they spent almost all their time together except when they were sleeping at night.

In addition, although she is nominally a trainer, she is actually just a figurehead, so it is quite normal for her to want to apply to join his team.

As for Shinji Kitahara's response, he naturally agreed.

Even disregarding the tranquility of Sunday, he kicked out the Manchester tea house where he had finally gained many friends and whose smiles were gradually increasing.

He couldn't bring himself to return to that lonely state where he was all alone, where even his only eccentric friend had been taken away by him.

Therefore, after Manchester City Café submitted its transfer request, Shinji Kitahara readily agreed and completed the transfer formalities for Manchester City Café within a day. And then...

Manchester Tea House also joined the training camp.

This doesn't sound like a big deal.

As mentioned earlier, due to various reasons, this hostel has completely become an activity for children to gather and have fun.

Manchester Tea House hangs out with this group of people every day and they get along very well, so it's only natural that they would join the training camp.

But the problem isn't with Manchester City's tea house.

Instead, it was Sunday tranquility that moved in with her.

Although for various reasons, the girls on Kitahara Shinji's side have now accepted and gotten used to the presence of Sunday tranquility.

The problem is that before this, they had only been in contact with Sunday tranquility during the daytime.

But now, the thought of a ghost circling around me when I close my eyes sends a surge of unease and dread.

Heavyweight contenders like Ali Digital, Ali Souko, and Kusakabe are fine, but Oguri Hat's obsession with what ghosts taste like is also acceptable.

But others...

Especially Zhou and the East Sea Emperor were alright. Although the East Sea Emperor was added later, Cao Shangfei saw that she was really scared, so he switched places with her.

She slept outside, allowing the Emperor of the East Sea to huddle together with Special Week, shivering beside the eclipse.

But not Necha.

After all, her problems have improved considerably due to treatment, and she has become more flexible and in control of her body.

However, the problem is not completely solved yet. If we let her sleep in a crowd, the impact might be even greater than that of a peaceful Sunday.

The problem is, she's the kind of horse girl who's quite afraid of ghosts.

She was fine during the day, but at night, feeling the eerie atmosphere around her, she didn't dare to close her eyes, let alone sleep.

So, in this situation, partly out of fear and partly out of some inexplicable emotion, Necha sat up in bed and looked at the man beside him who was on a makeshift bed on the floor, preparing to go to sleep.

As mentioned before, because of the tranquility of Sunday, Nechika had already squeezed into Kitahara Shinji's small single room under the pretext of being afraid of ghosts.

Even so, the two did not sleep together. Instead, Shinji Kitahara gave her his bed and slept on the floor below.

When he first heard that Shinji Kitahara wanted to give him his bed, Nachi wanted to refuse.

But when she thought about how it was where he slept and could smell the strong odor emanating from it, she couldn't bring herself to refuse the tempting offer due to some inexplicable emotion.

Now, with the arrival of Sunday's tranquility, I feel the fear in my heart.

A new, bold idea began to slowly emerge in her mind.

"Mr. Kitahara."

She spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly.

"what happened?"

Shinji Kitahara looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Necha remained silent for a while, his face gradually turning red under the cover of darkness, and his tail began to wag gently.

"Um, may I... sleep with you...?"

Her voice was soft, and it grew softer as she spoke, but it was still so clear in the quiet night.

silence.

awkward.

As time went by, Necha became increasingly flustered and subconsciously spoke again.

"Um, Mr. Kitahara, I didn't mean anything by it, I'm just a little scared and can't sleep..."

"Come down."

Shinji Kitahara sighed, feeling helpless.

Do you need me to help you move the blankets?

Necha paused for a moment, then shook his head stiffly, his voice barely audible.

"No need, I can do it myself..."

As she spoke, without waiting for her brain to give any command, her body moved on its own, and she carefully got out of bed.

She moved her bedding close to Kitahara Shinji's, then dragged her stiff body to lie down inside.

After getting close to Shinji Kitahara, the fear in Nachi's heart lessened considerably due to the filling of certain emotions.

For some reason, after getting out of bed, although the fear in my heart lessened, the eerie feeling actually increased.

She lay there for a while longer. Although she could close her eyes, the eerie atmosphere and the new things so close to her made it even harder for her to fall asleep.

And it was at this moment that Shinji Kitahara's voice rang out once again.

"If you're really scared, come closer."

As soon as she finished speaking, Necha's body stiffened slightly, and then she obediently pressed herself against him.

Even though there was a blanket between us, I could feel that familiar, reassuring sense of security, and gently inhale the familiar scent so close to me.

Although the eerie atmosphere around them inexplicably intensified again, the fear in Necha's heart almost completely dissipated.

Or rather, it is gradually replaced by another emotion.

Does this mean I'm sharing a room with Mr. Kitahara...?

As a strange thought suddenly popped into her head, Necha's face began to burn.

Her body moved closer and closer to the one she had longed for day and night, and her expression gradually relaxed.

While she relaxed, Shinji Kitahara looked increasingly melancholy.

But it wasn't because of Necha, but because of the other side of Necha, the one who was holding him tightly, whose body and blanket were worn through.

Sunday was quiet.

Before Necha had even sat up, Zhou Ri Ningjing slipped into his small private room and plopped down on him with a look that said, "I'm going to sleep with you tonight."

As mentioned earlier, Zhou Ri Ningjing has a rather outgoing and proactive personality.

After they met, except for the initial period when she was frightened by the solar eclipse, she never hid her desire for Kitahara Shinji. She even once grabbed his hand and pulled it to her chest.

As time went on and they got to know each other better, and as certain tests were conducted, Zhou Ri Ningjing's gaze towards Kitahara Shinji became increasingly ardent.

Just how to say it.

During a period of free time in the past, Shinji Kitahara, for various reasons...

For example, being interrupted by random things, or the fact that the Manchester City tea party hasn't officially joined the team yet, or that they're not quite sure how to start researching the Ghost thing.

Shinji Kitahara was unable to investigate and study the quiet situation on Sunday, but he did conduct some basic tests.

The most crucial point, of course, is the study of the degree of contact between the two parties.

As for the test results...

How should I put it? It's just a bit strange.
