"Hehe, really? I also feel like I've gotten a lot stronger!"

"Idiot Tsubaki, you're a girl, why are you so concerned about this?..."

"Get up, Kana, quickly help me see if my skin has really... become much whiter?"

"Yes, and it feels smooth to the touch, like a peeled egg!"

"Really?! Kana, your skin is so good it's practically glowing!"

"And also, I feel like...your...that place...is it...more erect?"

Xiao Ai's voice was full of mischievous laughter.

Camellia looked in the direction of the sound.

In the center, there was a huge circular hot spring pool.

Kana, Tsubaki, Ai, and Miyuki were soaking naked in warm water.

They laughed and looked at each other's refreshed bodies.

Water droplets slid down their smooth, delicate skin, reflecting a crystalline luster under the light.

At this moment, there was no trace of the blood and death that had previously stained their bodies.

……

When Kana, Tsubaki, Ai, and Miyuki noticed Asaka standing at the door, their delicate faces immediately blossomed into bright smiles.

Kana waved first, her voice clear and crisp.

"Camellia! You've arrived!"

"Quick, come down and soak together! The water temperature is super comfortable!"

"Yes!"

"The commander-in-chief won't mind!"

Tsubaki also shouted loudly towards the camellia.

"..."

Seeing my four friends actually come back to life!

And he looks more energetic than before!

Camellia's eyes welled up with tears.

Forget about being reserved, she took off her school uniform.

With a "plop," it came down as well.

……

After a long while, when Yachahua and the other girls had finished playing around and their tense hearts, which had been strained by the series of events, gradually relaxed, they wrapped themselves in bath towels and stepped out of the pool.

Because she was used to wearing heavy makeup, Ya Chahua removed all her makeup at this moment, revealing her clean face.

That face, which was originally covered with various colorful makeup, now looked exceptionally delicate, with fair and smooth skin. It lacked the usual flamboyant and sexy vibe, and instead had the youthful and gentle charm of a girl next door.

Especially those eyes that are always emphasized by heavy eyeliner and false eyelashes.

Now that she has removed her makeup, she looks even clearer and brighter, with a hint of shyness and unease about seeing her bare face for the first time.

This caused all four girls to pause in their movements.

"Wow... Camellia..."

"You...you look even better without makeup than with makeup?"

Chun's eyes widened slightly.

"Yeah yeah."

Xiao Ai nodded in agreement. "Your skin looks so good, and your features are even more delicate. You look even prettier than when you're wearing makeup!"

Kana and Miyuki also gave her approving looks.

Being praised so directly by her friends made Ya Chahua feel a little embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously touched her face.

She usually uses heavy makeup to cover herself up.

This is the first time I've ever appeared in front of my friends without makeup like this.

"Yes, really... I rarely go without makeup..."

"Ita said in a low voice, a little shyly."

……

Shortly after.

When Natsume Ryo saw Asaka emerge from the bathroom, his gaze lingered for a couple of seconds.

After removing her slightly exaggerated sexy makeup, Ya Chahua's features appeared exceptionally soft and delicate, with fair and smooth skin, curved eyebrows and eyes, and a natural sense of innocence, making her look completely different from her previous flamboyant and rebellious appearance.

She exudes a pure and shy charm, like a girl next door.

"Um……"

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen you without makeup."

"Although I haven't really noticed you much in the past, I have to say that you look much more refined without makeup now than before."

"Really, really?"

"Natsume-kun...do you prefer a more innocent type?"

This was a sudden compliment from Natsume Ryo.

Chahua blushed instantly, her cheeks burning hot again as the blush faded. She instinctively lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting the sash of her bathrobe, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

"No."

"I just feel that this style suits you better."

"Of course, it's just my personal hobby, don't worry about it."

After saying that, Natsume Ryo didn't pay much attention to Asaka's reaction, but instead glanced at the time on his phone.

—It's almost 8 p.m.

"Alright, it's getting late. You're still students, and you have classes tomorrow."

"If I don't go home this late, my family will definitely worry."

"Let me take you away from here first, so you can catch the last tram."

Upon hearing that they were leaving, the four cursed dolls who had just been "resurrected"—Kana, Tsubaki, Ai, and Miyuki—did not react in any particular way.

After all, they now obey Natsume Ryo's words absolutely.

Yachahua paused for a moment, then nodded with mixed feelings after thinking about everything that had happened that day.

Upon hearing this, Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi also came over.

Natsume Ryo said no more, his thoughts subtly shifting.

[/tpe [r=15] Coordinates of the quiet alley near the school gate]

Instruction execution.

Om-!

A slight feeling of being pulled apart came again.

next second.

The scene before everyone's eyes changed.

We arrived at the quiet alley outside Zongwu High School.

"Alright, it's very close to the tram station from here, you should still be able to catch the last tram."

Natsume Ryo was the first to step out of the alley and survey the situation on the street.

Kana, Tsubaki, Ai, and Miyuki followed closely behind. Asaka came close behind, secretly glancing at Natsume Ryo's profile before quickly lowering her head, her cheeks burning.

Originally, Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi were looking around with curiosity.

After all, this long-lost "outside world" was full of novelty for them.

……

But when Geng Xizi noticed Achaka's girlish demeanor...

She couldn't help but cover her face and chuckle as she moved closer to Natsume Ryo.

I nudged him with my elbow.

"Hey, Natsume-kun."

"Look at that girl, Ya Chahua, she seems to have a bit of a crush on you..."

"..."

Ying Xizi also cast a rare glance over, clearly having noticed the same thing.

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo glanced at Asaka.

When the latter met his gaze, she immediately lowered her head like a startled rabbit.

Natsume Ryo understood this perfectly well, but didn't intend to point it out. He wasn't particularly interested in the feelings of these young girls; dealing with the module's current affairs was more important.

result.

Buzz-buzz-

The cell phone in Natsume Ryo's pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone; the caller ID showed "unknown." He pressed the answer button.

—The voice of Rena Kurashiki came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey?"

"N-Natsume-kun?!"

"Great, you finally answered the phone!"

"..."

This sounds like a scam.

Natsume Ryo frowned slightly.

At the same time, Kurashiki Rena's voice came from the other end of the phone.

The background was filled with the sounds of clamorous discussion.

“Natsume-kun, because my mother’s car was still parked at that restaurant last night.”

"My mom and I just got out of the police station!"

"Those police officers were asking all sorts of questions!"

In the end, they still managed to categorize last night's restaurant incident as a gang fight and brush it off.

"However, I heard that there were mass casualties in many places last night, and they were all classified as gang fights."

"Natsume-kun, do you think these incidents might all be the work of the parasites?"

"Also, the police said they found a lot of things in my mother's car!"

"For example, there are ropes, knives, duct tape, and things like that!"

"After investigation, it was found that the driver my mother hired had recently become addicted to gambling and had borrowed a lot of money from gangsters at exorbitant interest rates."

"As a result, I lost everything betting on horse races."

"The gangsters want to break his legs."

"So you're thinking of taking the risk of kidnapping your employer to get a ransom to pay off your gambling debts?"

"This driver certainly knows how to play the game."

"However, is it true that there have been frequent mass casualties recently?"
