I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

When the two interacted, he was so excited that his whole body trembled, and warm liquid began to flow from his nose, almost dripping onto his clothes.

The reason it was "almost" is because it happened just as her nose started bleeding.

The experienced Shinji Kitahara immediately turned around, took out a tissue to stop the bleeding, and then showed a helpless expression.

"Try to restrain yourself a little, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to turn back halfway to take you to the infirmary."

After Shinji Kitahara finished speaking, Alice Digital slowly came back to its senses from the immense bliss.

"I'm sorry, senior, I'll be more careful..."

As she spoke, Alice Digital seemed to remember something, took out a vial of medicine from her small bag, and drank it directly.

Upon seeing her gesture, Shinji Kitahara raised an eyebrow.

"Um, Digital, what were you drinking just now...?"

After drinking the potion, although Alice's eyes still shone with a blissful light, her excitement level had clearly decreased considerably.

When Shinji Kitahara asked the question, Ali Digital did not hide anything and answered frankly.

"It's an emotional desensitizer that Suko specially developed for me, so that I won't be too emotionally agitated and delay important matters when needed..."

"...What about the side effects?"

"...No side effects."

After a pause, she added.

"There were no side effects observed, at least throughout the entire day of testing."

Upon hearing her words, Shinji Kitahara's expression gradually became subtle.

Why does this feel so familiar?

It seems that some time ago, there was a guy with the same name starting with "Alice" who also thought of using a drug to get back at him because "there were no side effects during the testing period".

Then......

A moment later, Shinji Kitahara shook his head, shaking the strange sense of déjà vu out of his mind.

After all, this time Alice Digital didn't drink any pleasure suppressants, and he didn't plan to give her any treatment. Plus, it's been tested, so there shouldn't be any problem... right?

Well, to be honest, Shinji Kitahara was still a little unsure.

But the problem is that Aili Digital's situation is what it is.

Without this medicine, let alone the whole day, I'd probably have to turn back and take her to the infirmary shortly after leaving home.

So, although he felt a little uneasy, Shinji Kitahara didn't dwell on it too much.

After a brief conversation, he led the two of them out the door.

Because she simply wanted to play with the eclipse, and she didn't have any particular hobbies.

Shinji Kitahara didn't plan any route; he simply led the two of them for a casual stroll through the streets.

Normally, he and Eclipse didn't communicate much; they just walked one after the other, behaving no differently than usual.

As for Aili Digital, they silently followed behind the two, their eyes fixed on them, afraid of missing any moment of their interaction.

After some time, while passing by a shop, Eclipse stopped and tugged at Shinji Kitahara's sleeve.

"I want to try that."

She pointed to a claw machine inside the store that was piled high with chibi-style horse girl dolls.

Since the eclipse was of interest to him, Shinji Kitahara certainly wouldn't refuse.

Go into the store, exchange for game currency, and then start playing.

While Eclipse is quite absurd in terms of running and fighting ability, it is indeed not very good at delicate tasks like claw machines, which cannot rely on its own strength and require the use of tools.

In addition, she had never played with anything like this before. She tried more than twenty times, but she couldn't even hook the doll with the claw, let alone catch it.

However, even though it was never successful, after more than twenty attempts...

The other two, however, noticed that Eclipse didn't seem interested in the claw machine; rather, it simply wanted something from inside.

Those are the brightly lit, Q-version dolls from Aili Digital inside.

As a member of the "Horse Girl" group who has won two G1 championships in just one and a half years since her debut and has a very well-known reputation, Ali Digital has naturally released some merchandise related to her.

Moreover, for various reasons, compared to other horse girls, Ali Digital's merchandise is more popular.

She was especially popular with the horse girls she had helped, and many of them would put a doll of her on their bedside table to express their love and gratitude for her.

Hmm? You're asking why we didn't express it face-to-face?

Isn't that obvious?

After all, the dolls won't hug and suck on the clothes they've used, nor will they show a grim smile after they thank them, and they certainly won't faint from a nosebleed in certain situations.

In comparison, she herself is, well...

This is a version of Lord Ye's love of dragons, as described by Teresa.

After discovering that Miss Eclipse only wanted her chibi-style doll, Alice Digital was naturally excited again.

But thanks to the effects of the medicine, he didn't immediately pass away, so he took the initiative to step forward and try to help the eclipse.

Eclipse didn't refuse; after she explained her purpose, it simply stepped aside to make way for her, and then...

Crash, crash.

As another dozen or so game coins fell, Aili Digital's expression gradually became awkward.

Although she saw that Miss Eclipse wasn't very good at this kind of thing, and that Miss Eclipse was obviously trying to grab her doll, she impulsively came up to help.

But she seemed to have forgotten that she wasn't actually very good at this kind of thing...

Although her room also has many horse girl dolls or various related items.

But those were either gifts she made herself, or gifts she bought directly or received from others.

Although I've tried to obtain it through claw machines before...

The problem is that when she sees all the cute horse girl dolls in the shop window, she can easily get caught up in indecisiveness or become overly excited.

Then naturally she couldn't grab anything anymore, and eventually she gave up. Even later, when her doll-making skills became superb, she had to bear a considerable part of the responsibility for this.

Just as Aili Digital was at a stalemate and its morale was gradually declining.

Shinji Kitahara, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, sighed and walked over.

"Let me try."

With that, Shinji Kitahara gripped the joystick, and then...

Blah, blah, blah.

With the sound of three coins rolling down in succession, three Q-version dolls from Aili Digital appeared in front of them.

The reason there are three is not because Shinji Kitahara wanted one for each person.

There were only three Q-version Aili Digital dolls in the claw machine, so he simply grabbed them all.

Then, after taking the doll out, Shinji Kitahara also learned why Eclipse wanted it.

"Here you go, this is a thank-you gift."

As she spoke, Eclipse handed the doll that Shinji Kitahara had just picked out for her to Aili Digital.

Seeing that Aili Digital seemed a little stunned, Eclipse added another sentence.

"I really like the clothes you gave me."

As soon as the words were spoken, a tremendous sense of happiness enveloped Aili Digital.

However, due to the effects of the medicine, she did not faint as blissfully as usual. Instead, after a brief refusal, she accepted the doll handed to her by Eclipse with a silly grin.

After giving a doll to Ali Digital, Eclipse then handed a doll to Shinji Kitahara. Although she didn't say anything, it was clearly a gift for him.

Faced with this gift from the solar eclipse, Shinji Kitahara felt a mix of emotions, but he did not refuse.

After giving away the plush toys, since he still had some game coins left, Shinji Kitahara asked the two girls who wanted to play more.

After a moment of silence, seeing that Eclipse didn't seem to want to continue playing, Alice Digital spoke up somewhat hesitantly.

"Um, senior, could you teach me how to play this? If I have the chance sometime, I'd like to catch some and take them back to my dorm..."

"of course can."

Shinji Kitahara readily agreed.

Then......

A moment later, Alice Digital, half-embraced by Shinji Kitahara and with her hand held, stiffened slightly.

"Pay attention to the joystick's movement speed, as this will affect the grappling hook's stability..."

"Before you start trying to grab anything, you must first decide on your target; you can't be indecisive..."

"Your hand must be steady, otherwise even a slight deviation could lead to completely different results..."

As Shinji Kitahara spoke, he manipulated the AIRI Digital device with a very serious expression, clearly indicating that he had entered a certain state of mind.

Under his operation, Aili Digital easily grabbed many dolls in succession.

Normally, if she could catch so many horse-girl dolls, she would probably be incredibly excited and wouldn't care about anything else.

But now, feeling the warmth in her hands and listening to the gentle teachings in her ear, there are other things that she can no longer ignore compared to the dolls in front of her.

Luckily, I got some medicine for Xiaosuko before coming, otherwise...

With the help of the medicine, although Aili Digital blushed a little, it did not show too many abnormalities.

Furthermore, with his back to Shinji Kitahara and his focused teaching demeanor, Shinji didn't notice his situation at all, making Shinji even more grateful for his prior preparations.

While feeling fortunate, a hint of doubt also flashed through Aili Digital's mind.

Although the medicine was very effective, why does the smell and my current state feel somewhat familiar...?

It must be an illusion.

she thinks.

Then he focused his attention back on the claw machine in front of him, enjoying the close interaction with his senior while also attentively listening to his instructions.

What Alice Digital didn't know was that her feelings were not a misperception.

Because this potion is indeed not a newly developed one, but an improvement on the previous potion that blocked all her positive feedback.

And this improved version of the medicine does indeed have no side effects.

The problem is that, because it is an improved version of the drug, its operating principle is exactly the same as that of the previous drug.

If the previous potion created a barrier that blocked all her positive feedback.

This time, the potion created a barrier while simultaneously opening a hole in it, in order to control the degree to which she received various positive feedbacks.

During previous tests, we didn't receive much positive feedback.

So by the time the effects of the medicine wore off, the positive feedback she had received had already seeped into her heart little by little through that hole, leaving little residue and causing no unusual symptoms.

However, the problem is that this hole also has a limit to its transmission capacity.

The previous few times, while somewhat intense for her, weren't that stimulating, though they did allow her to accumulate a lot of emotions.

But because there was a whole day to relax, it eventually came to an end.

However, if the stimulation is excessive, the hole cannot transmit all of it.

But what happens to the lingering and accumulated emotions if the transmission fails...?

But this is not the most important.

Most importantly, it is accompanied by various actions of Shinji Kitahara and Eclipse.

Outside the barrier in Aili Digital's mind, a massive amount of positive feedback has begun to accumulate rapidly, even exceeding the capacity of the hole.

If we stop now and let her go home to rest for a day, there might still be a chance to save her.

But let alone stop, the sun outside has only just risen and is still striving towards noon.

Or to put it another way...

Today's journey has only just begun from this moment on.
