I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Perhaps during the kiss, the force flowed in along with the saliva or something, and then, because it was not adapted to the human body, it slowly dissipated.

As for why others haven't discovered this yet, that's easy to understand.

After all, not everyone has such an outrageous ability to perceive and control their own body.

If left unchecked, that power will quickly dissipate on its own, and it's normal not to notice it.

If the changes in his body were only this, Shinji Kitahara might not be too worried. He could simply treat it as a new research topic and find an opportunity to study it.

But the problem is that, in addition to this power that dissipates on its own, he has also discovered a new power flowing through his body in the last two days.

Close your eyes, raise your hand again, concentrate your attention, and then guide that power to your fingertips.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and saw that there were some halos of light mixed with light pink and light purple on his fingers, which were now flowing slowly, giving people a rather subtle feeling.

To be honest, even though it was drawn from his own body, Shinji Kitahara didn't really know what it was or what its purpose was.

But his intuition told him that, unlike the things that had increased his strength before, this thing might be quite dangerous.

As for where this thing came from, Shinji Kitahara had some clues about it.

Strangely, it glows, and when the power is increased, a faint heart-shaped object rises up nearby...

If you say this has nothing to do with the drugs that Alice gave him before, he definitely won't believe you.

Perhaps due to drug residue, or perhaps because of the drug itself, his body underwent some changes.

In any case, Shinji Kitahara believed that this matter was inextricably linked to Elizabeth's drug.

However, Shinji Kitahara did not intend to go to Alice immediately.

Because it was already dark by the time he finished his experiment.

And tomorrow, there will be a debut match for Oguri Hat.

Shinji Kitahara thought for a moment and decided that since they had been training all day, it would be better not to disturb her rest. It would be more appropriate to go to her directly after Oguri Hat's debut competition tomorrow.

Moreover, if he were to encounter Galerizho in the arena, he might be able to ask him for a look.

Although this isn't their main area of ​​expertise, they are, after all, serious researchers, and even top-notch ones, so they might be able to figure out what the problem is.

With this thought in mind, Shinji Kitahara dispelled the glow on his fingers, returned to his dormitory, and after washing up, prepared to rest.

Shortly after he returned, a worried Nechika also returned to the dormitory, his eyes showing obvious concern as he looked at Kitahara Shinji.

Normally, Shinji Kitahara would definitely have noticed that Nai-tsachi's emotions were off.

The problem is that not long after Nachi and his relationship began, Shinji Kitahara automatically assumed that her behavior was a reaction to a failed confession and didn't pay much attention to it.

Then, amidst the undercurrents of various factions...

Time passed slowly, the moon gradually rose, and soon it was time to sleep.

With a belly full of worries, Nachi got into bed and, along with the other little pony girls, squeezed into the large bed that originally belonged to Kitahara Shinji, and slowly closed her eyes.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a slightly hesitant female voice slowly rang out from beside her.

"Hey, don't you guys think Shinji's hands look... kind of beautiful today...?"

Hands? Beautiful?

Necha was taken aback, somewhat surprised, not expecting that Special Week would have such a hobby.

Before she could be surprised for long, with the help of Special Weekly's words, her thoughts subconsciously recalled certain scenes from when she saw Shinji Kitahara's hand after returning, and her expression gradually changed.

For some reason, even though she didn't have any strange quirks, seeing that hand from her memories made Necha's heart beat a little faster.

To be honest, Nechika didn't think Kitahara Shinji's hands were anything special, and they looked no different from usual.

But I don't know why, even though nothing has changed.

But when I recall it today, that palm is filled with a mesmerizing magic.

It makes people unconsciously want to look over and focus their attention on his hands, as if simply looking at them is a wonderful enjoyment.

No, wait, maybe it's not a hand...

As the memories became clearer, Necha's gaze gradually moved downwards, finally locking onto the thing that truly exuded an unusual attraction.

That's a finger.

In her memory, there were fingers that emitted a faint glow, a mixture of pale purple and pale pink.

Chapter 187: Surveillance

The next day, early in the morning.

Shinji Kitahara woke up from his sleep and began his new day as usual.

Getting dressed, washing up, eating...

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened during that time.

Even the inexplicable attraction on his fingers slowly dissipated into the darkness, and by the time he woke up the next day, it had returned to normal.

Since the attraction had faded, the other little pony girls didn't dwell on it too much, treating it as a coincidence. After exchanging a few more words in private, they stopped paying attention to it.

As for Necha, although she had already received information from Ali Digital about Shinji Kitahara's transformation into a full-fledged character.

However, for various reasons, he didn't think about it that way. After Shinji Kitahara left to find Oguri Hat, he also went out and went to the training ground to carry out his own actions.

Then, after a while.

After meeting Oguri Hat at the agreed location, Shinji Kitahara went with her to the competition venue.

After settling Oguri Hat in and taking her to the preparation area, Shinji Kitahara went to the audience seats.

Originally, due to his own problems, Shinji Kitahara had planned to talk to Risa Kari.

But once they got to the audience seats, not only did they fail to get close to her, but even when Shinji Kitahara took the rare step of looking around to try and find her, he couldn't succeed.

Shinji Kitahara only found out after asking around among the trainers.

Galerizho is usually away from Treson Academy at least one day a week, and today happens to be one of those days, so naturally she won't be here to watch the match.

"Is this so..."

Shinji Kitahara nodded, then looked thoughtful.

If the qualified researcher, Galerizo, isn't around, then to find out what's going on as soon as possible, we'll have to go find Elisako...

But as for Alice, well...

After a moment's thought, Shinji Kitahara decided that it was more reliable to wait for Kirito to return than to go directly to Kirito.

Having made his decision, Shinji Kitahara stopped hesitating and turned his attention to the match, preparing to leave after watching the game.

But as I watched, Little Chestnut Hat's debut competition still hadn't arrived.

Accompanied by a soft fragrance, a rather voluptuous horsewoman sat down beside him, her long, cascading blue hair falling down her back, and her purple eyes shining like jewels.

One of the eldest daughters of the Mejiro family, Mejiro Ardan.

As someone with maxed-out counter-surveillance skills, Shinji Kitahara naturally noticed her arrival.

He noticed her, but instead of greeting her, Kitahara Shinji quietly shifted his position away from her after she sat down, making a point of keeping his distance.

The reason he did this was not because Kitahara Shinji disliked Mejiro Ardan that much, but simply because he was a bit of a coward to the Mejiro family.

Especially since, not long before, Shinji Kitahara had commissioned the renowned general Nutō to secretly deliver a conditioning plan to Ardan Meguro that might improve her health.

Although he had instructed Nutao not to tell Aldan who sent it.

The problem is that there are very few people in the academy who are capable of criticizing her, and during this time, she has been keeping an eye on him.

In this situation, she may not have any concrete evidence, but there is a good chance that she will suspect him. She might even be here to ask him a direct question.

Just as Kitahara Shinji was having these doubts, Meguro Ardan spoke up.

"Hello, Kitahara trainer, nice to meet you. I am Mejiro Ardan."

She spoke with a smile, her tone gentle.

"Hello, Ardan."

Shinji Kitahara responded, paused, and then spoke.

"Are you here to watch the game too?"

Meguro Ardan shook his head and spoke calmly.

"No, I came to see you."

I knew it.

Shinji Kitahara's lips twitched, but he didn't panic much.

Because, as he just said, because of the previous situation.

Perhaps Megumi Ardan would suspect that the treatment plan came from him, but there would certainly be no concrete evidence.

If she really asks, as long as he firmly denies it and plays dumb appropriately, it shouldn't be difficult to get away with it...

"I heard that you are a trainer at the Manchester City Tea House, and that you can even see or meet her 'friends'. Is that true?"

...What the heck?

Kitahara Shinji was stunned.

He was prepared for Ardan Megumi to directly question him about the origins of the body conditioning plan; he even had a mental rehearsal ready. But then...

Fortunately, it wasn't a tricky question. Although he was initially taken aback because it was different from what he expected, Shinji Kitahara quickly nodded after realizing what was going on.

"Well, that's right."

Since there was no need to lie about this, Shinji Kitahara simply admitted it readily.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time Shinji Kitahara had been asked this question.

In fact, the fact that Shinji Kitahara could see, or even have contact with, Sunday tranquility had become an open secret in Tressen, and many people came to him to inquire about it.

Curiosity aside, I was still quite surprised to hear that 'ghosts' were real.

Besides the tranquility of Sundays, there are other 'strange' things in the academy (mainly what is said in the tea house, and for some reason, Shinji Kitahara himself has never seen them).

The curiosity and excitement on the faces of those horse girls would fade at a visible speed, and some would even curl up their tails.

It seemed that Shiro Ardan was also quite curious about this, and Kitahara Shinji was generous in sharing his various observations and experiences.

Originally, Shinji Kitahara thought that Ardan Meguro would be like the other horse girls, although he was very curious at first.

But after listening to the story, especially after hearing the description of some strange phenomena that actually exist on campus.

Although it was broad daylight and in a crowded training ground, I wasn't exactly trembling with fear, but I was definitely a little nervous.

But to Shinji Kitahara's surprise, after listening to his story, Aldan Meguro was not only not afraid, but his emotions became even more excited.

Especially after he finished talking about those strange phenomena, although her demeanor remained dignified and elegant, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

Then, after noticing her behavior, Shinji Kitahara suddenly remembered something.

Although it wasn't widely known on campus, he remembered hearing someone mention Megumi Ardan before he transmigrated; apparently, he was a paranormal enthusiast...

Moreover, unlike other horse girls, Mejiro Ardan isn't the type to feign interest in something she doesn't truly believe in; she's genuinely unafraid of such things.

Thinking of this, Shinji Kitahara suddenly had a bad feeling.

Wait, what's next...?

"When I have time, may I visit that 'Sunday Serenity' at your place?"

Meguro Aldan smiled and spoke, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"of course can."

Upon hearing that it wasn't a team application, Shinji Kitahara breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.

Then, after agreeing to Meguro Ardan's request to visit, Kitahara Shinji chatted with her about this for a while.

Then, after some time, as the Oguri Hat match began, Mejiro Ardan also had something to do. After politely saying goodbye to Kitahara Shinji, he left quite calmly.

Then, watching her leave the arena, Shinji Kitahara's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally slowly settled down.

"So it was about the ghost..."

After muttering something under his breath, Shinji Kitahara leaned back in his chair, watching Oguri Hat slowly enter the arena, his expression gradually relaxing.
