I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Because of Oguri Hat's previous actions, Kitahara Shinji also noticed that she seemed to really enjoy being fed by him.

However, Shinji Kitahara did not suspect Oguri's behavior; on the contrary, he felt that she was safer because of it.

During his past life as a homeless man, Shinji Kitahara had met many little pony girls who didn't like to eat properly or were picky eaters.

If you want them to eat properly, you have to coax them or even feed them.

Moreover, it's not just horse girls; many human babies also have this problem, which is a common issue among children.

As for Oguri Hat, in his eyes he was just a child, and a child with a somewhat naive personality at that.

Although they have a good appetite, it's not surprising that they enjoy being fed—it's just a child's nature after all.

Then, during the rest of the game, Shinji Kitahara fed her while playing the board games he had on hand.

As for details such as the fingers being licked and sucked during the feeding process, and the fact that the two seemed to be getting closer and closer, Shinji Kitahara didn't pay too much attention to them.

Perhaps in the past, he would have paid attention to these issues and tried to remind and correct her.

But over time, Oguri had already helped him get used to this through various means.

As for correction, Shinji Kitahara did try, but ultimately failed.

In addition, Oguri Hat usually performs very well in other aspects, so Kitahara Shinji reluctantly chose to tolerate her small, harmless flaw.

After that, time quietly slipped away amidst this feeding.

As the snacks gradually disappeared, without anyone noticing, Oguri Hat moved from sitting opposite Kitahara Shinji to sitting next to him, and the distance between them kept getting closer and closer.

By the time only a few snacks remained, the fingers of the hand that Shinji Kitahara was using to feed the children were already covered in the smell of Oguri Hat.

It was at this moment, driven by the hunger in her heart that still could not be satisfied even so, that Oguri Hat took a new action.

"Trainer Kitahara, I saw them playing a game in class before, it looked really fun, but I don't know why nobody wanted to play it with me..."

Hearing her words, Shinji Kitahara raised his head in confusion.

Although he hadn't been to Oguri Hat's class, he had heard that Oguri Hat was basically regarded as a mascot in the class because of her personality and was quite popular with the other horse girls. Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't have occurred.

But as soon as Oguri Hat finished talking about the game, Kitahara Shinji immediately knew why they weren't including her.

Pocky game.

Specifically, it involves two people each holding a Pocky stick (a long, thin biscuit coated with chocolate) from either end and eating it little by little as they move forward.

During this process, the two people's faces and lips will constantly get closer, or even touch.

As they get closer, the pressure on both of them will increase, and the one who gives up first will lose.

Perhaps for the horse girls in the same class as Oguri Hat, playing this game might be a challenge.

But Shinji Kitahara had no doubt that Oguri was there specifically to eat Pocky.

Let alone beating her, it's uncertain whether she can even feel the pressure...

but now......

"Can Trainer Kitahara play with me for a bit?"

Little Chestnut Hat blinked, his eyes filled with anticipation and hope.

If this request had been made by any other horse girl, Shinji Kitahara would have refused on the spot.

After all, although this game is a game, it is somewhat dangerous to play. If you're not careful, you could easily end up kissing.

But the chestnut hat...

Looking at the little chestnut hat in front of him, whose face practically screamed with anticipation and hope, Shinji Kitahara hesitated.

He wasn't worried about Xiao Lima, after all, his impression of Xiao Lima was that she was easy to take care of and sensible, and he didn't doubt that such a natural and well-behaved child would have any bad thoughts about him.

But the problem is that this game is really a bit... well, Shinji Kitahara just can't seem to get it right.

So after hesitating for a moment, Shinji Kitahara finally decided to refuse her request and began to seriously explain to her why the game was not suitable for them.

After listening to his explanation, Oguri Hat remained silent for a moment, his mood gradually sinking, and even his ears folded up listlessly.

Seeing her like this, Shinji Kitahara felt sorry for her, but there was nothing he could do but try to continue feeding her, but it didn't work well.

Moreover, it wasn't just that the effect was poor; after this state continued for a short period of time, Oguri Hat's depression became increasingly obvious.

Am I disliked?

Although she didn't complain or say anything, Shinji Kitahara easily read the doubt on her face, and his eyes gradually became conflicted.

A moment later, after the air pressure in the room had dropped to a certain level, Shinji Kitahara sighed and pinched Oguri Hat's cheek.

"I don't hate you, I just feel that this game is a bit... well... not really suitable for us to play together."

"But if you really want to, I'm willing to play with you for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Oguri Hat's mood began to rise at a visible speed. After confirming that Kitahara Shinji did not dislike playing the game with her, she immediately agreed.

As for Shinji Kitahara, although he agreed to play the game with Oguri Hat, he wasn't particularly worried.

After all, although this thing is a bit dangerous, as long as you don't insist too much, just pretend for a while at first, and then just give up when you get closer.

This way, we can make Little Chestnut Hat happy without actually going to such extremes.

Moreover, Oguri Hat was probably just curious and wanted to try this thing out of curiosity. She was a little bothered by her friends' rejection, so she wanted to ask him to give it a try. After she experienced it once, she would probably lose interest.

So, after Oguri Hat agreed, Kitahara Shinji didn't hesitate much and immediately pulled out a Pocky stick.

Then, the next second, he felt something more in his arms.

Looking up at the little chestnut hat sitting in his lap, Shinji Kitahara tentatively spoke.

"Hey, Oguri Hat, what are you doing?"

Little Chestnut Hat blinked, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

"Didn't we say we were going to play Pocky?"

"No, I mean, why are you sitting on my lap...?"

"That's how I see them playing."

......OK.

Shinji Kitahara sighed, thinking that he should finish up quickly and not dwell on the matter any longer.

"I'll set a ten-second countdown on my phone. When the timer goes off, it'll start, and the first person to give in loses."

After Shinji Kitahara finished speaking, he took the Pocky stick into his mouth.

Little Chestnut Hat nodded, then leaned over with a hint of curiosity and gently bit the other end of the Pocky.

Then, Shinji Kitahara pressed the countdown button.

Then, as the numbers on the screen gradually reached zero, a bell rang, signaling the end of the game.

Yes, that's right, it's the end, not the beginning.

Although Shinji Kitahara had planned everything perfectly beforehand, he seemed to have forgotten one thing: explaining the rules of the game to Oguri Hat.

But this can't be considered his oversight, because according to Oguri Hat, she had seen many friends play this game, so she should know how to play it.

But for various reasons, she didn't know, or rather, subconsciously didn't try to understand, the rules of the game.

So, the instant the bell rang, just as Shinji Kitahara was about to slowly begin munching on his Pocky, he felt a soft, warm touch on his lips.

Immediately after the touch, the owner of that soft touch seemed not to be finished. With a slightly stiff movement, she pried open his mouth and began to try to take the remaining piece of Pocky from his mouth.

During the process of taking it, perhaps because she felt it was inconvenient, Oguri Hat simply reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck to stabilize herself.

Moreover, during this process, due to the excessive movement, the two lost their balance and fell directly onto the sofa, their bodies pressed together.

Realizing what was happening, Kitahara Shinji instinctively wanted to speak up and remind her.

However, because her mouth was blocked, she not only failed to speak, but the subconscious movement of her tongue also aroused a reaction from Oguri Hat, making her search even more serious.

It seemed they wanted to examine every corner of his mouth to see if there were any remaining Pocky crumbs hidden anywhere.

The soft, warm touch continued to move around, and a sweet taste gradually spread.

Just then, as Shinji Kitahara was about to take further action, trying to push her away and tell her that this was not how the game was played.

A series of rustling footsteps came from outside the door.

Then, in Kitahara Shinji's despairing gaze, accompanied by the sound of a key turning the lock.

The door is open.

Chapter 138: I guess I won?

Ten minutes later, at Shinji Kitahara's dormitory.

Shinji Kitahara looked at the obedient-looking girl in front of him, savoring the lingering sweetness on his lips, and felt incredibly melancholy.

What's going on?

On the other side, Eclipse, who had just entered, sat quietly to one side with a calm expression, only occasionally glancing at the two people in front of her and the remaining Pocky on the table, a hint of curiosity would flash in her eyes.

Ten minutes earlier, under Shinji Kitahara's despairing gaze, Eclipse opened the door, and there was no one following behind.

The moment he saw her, Shinji Kitahara felt as if he had gone from hell to heaven, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

But he soon realized that he had relaxed a little too soon.

Even after hearing someone come in, Oguri Hat showed no sign of stopping. Instead, his attack intensified, as if he wanted to search every inch of Oguri Hat to find the remaining Pocky sticks.

As for the solar eclipse, after seeing the scene inside the house, it made no comment.

He walked in calmly, closed the door behind him, and sat down next to them, looking at the two people entwined on the sofa with a hint of curiosity, completely ignoring Shinji Kitahara's pleading gaze.

After about two more minutes, Oguri Hat finally stopped what she was doing, slowly raised her head, swallowed several times, looked at Kitahara Shinji, and spoke with a slightly uncertain tone.

"So, I guess I've won?"

Kitahara Shinji: "..."

You won my ass, you idiot! Do you even know what you just did?!

Although he already knew that Oguri Hat's brain was basically only interested in eating, Kitahara Shinji never expected her to be this naturally clueless.

So, after Oguri Hat let go of him, he quickly sat up and began to seriously lecture her, emphasizing how inappropriate her behavior had been.

As always, Oguri was very well-behaved and obedient when faced with Shinji Kitahara's lectures.

But this obedience only made Shinji Kitahara feel helpless.

How should I put it...

Little Chestnut Hat is basically good in every way, and she's very obedient. She usually does whatever he says, whether it's training or daily life.

And it will be executed exactly as it was, without any compromise.

She was so obedient that Kitahara Shinji sometimes wondered if she would obey his orders without hesitation, even if he had ordered her to wash herself clean and wait for him in bed.

But when it comes to food, this child is incorrigible.

Although he hasn't committed any major offenses, he has consistently had various minor habits, such as licking his fingers, and nothing I say seems to work.

Furthermore, Shinji Kitahara is not the type of person who demands perfection from others.

After all, he himself is still thinking about giving up all day long, so of course he wouldn't be so hypocritical as to not allow others to have flaws.

In the past, because Oguri Hat performed very well in other aspects, he would only occasionally lecture her because of her shortcomings in this area.

Later, when they found that lecturing didn't work, they simply stopped lecturing altogether.

At the time, he thought it wasn't a big problem, and there was no need to overreact. Besides, Oguri Hat was doing very well in other aspects, so it shouldn't be a problem to indulge her a little in this regard.

But today, Oguri's behavior was something he really couldn't accept.

It's not that he felt he was being taken advantage of, but simply that he felt things couldn't continue like this with Oguri Hat.

Although his name contains the character for "little," Oguri Hat is actually quite old.

However, he debuted later than others, so even though he was older than the Emperor of the East Sea, he debuted a year later.

Now, the child is almost grown up, but his personality is still so innocent and he does things recklessly. He even holds someone down to give him deep CPR for a Pocky contest.

How can you expect him to feel at ease?

So, for Oguri's sake, Kitahara Shinji then gave her a continuous 15-minute lecture.
