"Juju, here's your towel," Kitagawa Marin walked over with the towel. "And a bathrobe."
"Thanks, Marin."
Juju whispered her thanks.
"Oh, don't be so polite." Kitagawa Marin walked to the refrigerator. "It's so hot. Do you want an ice cream before taking a bath?"
"No, thank you." Juju hesitated slightly, then shook her head and said, "I'd rather take a bath first."
"Then we'll have ice cream after you co out."
"Okay."
Juju agreed, then glanced at Amamiya Natsuki again, hugged her towel and bathrobe, and padded off to the bathroom.
"What about Natsuki?" Succubus Girl turned her head to look over. "Ice cream, popsicles, and cola, choose yourself."
"I'll have a cola."
Amamiya Natsuki naturally wouldn't be polite.
"Mmm, so comfortable—"
Opening the refrigerator, a cool breeze greeted her, and Kitagawa Marin narrowed her eyes in pleasure.
At the sa ti, a Human Head-kun appeared in the refrigerator again.Z
The first ti she saw the human head in the refrigerator, Kitagawa Marin was indeed startled, almost screaming, but now that she saw it almost every day, she had long grown accustod to it.
It must be said that habit is indeed a terrifying power.
Reaching out as if she saw nothing, Kitagawa Marin took out a can of cola and an ice cream for herself, closed the refrigerator, turned around, and ca before Amamiya Natsuki:
"Here, for you."
Amamiya Natsuki took the cola: "Why do I sll instant noodles?"
"I ate instant noodles last night." Kitagawa Marin coughed twice. "Because I couldn't sleep alone last night, I got up and made instant noodles…"
"My dad usually loves watching movies. On weekends, he'll watch several movies in one go. When he gets hungry at night, he'll secretly cook instant noodles behind my back."
"But every ti the sound of boiling water wakes up, and I'll get up and insist on eating. Instant noodles at night are super delicious, maybe because I have to fight with Dad for them."
"So when I really can't sleep at night, I'll get up and make a box of instant noodles."
Kitagawa Marin spoke while walking to the balcony, opening the window for ventilation.
"Indeed." Amamiya Natsuki retorted, "Food snatched from soone else's bowl tastes better."
"Correct answer." Kitagawa Marin put her right hand on her hip and said, "Turn on the TV and watch for a while."
"Yes, yes."
"…"
This Succubus Girl walked to the sofa, sat down beside Amamiya Natsuki, tore open the plastic packaging of the ice cream—it was a Lotte brand waterlon-flavored popsicle—then extended her pink tongue and gently licked it.
"Mmm, it's the latest episode of World's Amazing Stories."
Kitagawa Marin's eyes lit up.
The latest episode of World's Amazing Stories was playing on TV. The content was simple: the female protagonist was walking ho late at night after work when she encountered a blond man trying to flirt. So she took out her phone and pretended to be on a call with her father to make him back off.
"She's lying—" Kitagawa Marin saw through the truth at a glance. "The phone screen isn't even lit, how can she make a call?"
Amamiya Natsuki said from the side:
"It's clearly a tactic."
Unfortunately, one who often walks by the river cannot avoid getting his shoes wet.
The female protagonist encountered a flirtation again tonight, took out her phone with the screen off, and tried the sa trick again. Who knew she would be seen through by the blond man at a glance?
Then… this blond man couldn't beco a warrior of love like Amamiya Natsuki.
Instead, he listened to his headphones, nodding and bowing in trepidation, indicating that he would never flirt with the female protagonist again.
The female protagonist was greatly surprised and asked what had happened. The blond man said there was a man on the other end of the phone who sternly warned him not to court death.
"How is that possible?" The female protagonist widened her eyes and murmured, "…My father is clearly dead!"
Kitagawa Marin sat up straight and leaned closer to Amamiya Natsuki: "Here it cos, here it cos, the twist is coming."
The show World's Amazing Stories was originally famous for its various twists.
The two continued to watch TV.
A mont later.
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Marin: "Clearly, you guessed wrong."
The twist did not co.
The female protagonist initially thought it was a street prank and was very concerned. After that, she began to verify it with various people. As long as she shouted 'Dad' into her phone with the screen off and handed the phone to others, others could chat happily, as if soone really existed on the other end of the phone.
"Could it be The Truman Show?" Kitagawa Marin analyzed again, "Is everyone acting for her?"
"No." Amamiya Natsuki took a sip of cola. "If it were The Truman Show, details would definitely be added in various inconspicuous corners of the cara."
Just like that, three years passed in a blink of an eye.
The female protagonist was about to enter the wedding hall and went ho to reunite with her mother, ntioning the supernatural incident with her phone.
The mother initially didn't believe it until she heard that long-missed voice, and soon tears stread down her face.
Seeing this, Amamiya Natsuki was speechless.
Three years!
Do you know how I lived these three years?
Strangers, colleagues, friends, you told so many people about the phone, let so many people talk to your father, why did you forget your mother!
"I also find it strange." Kitagawa Marin's expression was hard to describe. "The person who misses Dad the most must be Mom, right?"
"A whole three years, not three days or three months, why didn't you tell Mom?"
Speaking of this, Kitagawa Marin suddenly sat up straight and said:
"Eh, eh, eh, not good! Not good, not good, not good!"
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look: "What's suddenly wrong?"
"In the dungeon, we t a middle-aged uncle-level player, already thirty or forty years old." Kitagawa Marin looked over nervously, "Natsuki still rembers, right?"
"I rember." Amamiya Natsuki nodded, "Kurosawa, only said his last na, don't know if it's real or fake."
"So it's super bad!"
Kitagawa Marin leaned forward, exhaling a pleasant waterlon scent, eting Amamiya Natsuki's eyes, "My dad is also a middle-aged uncle, will he also be chosen as a player by the ga?"
"I called Dad yesterday, and his voice sounded super tired. He hung up after only a few words."
"Could it be that he was also chosen as a ga player?"
"Don't guess wildly." Amamiya Natsuki said, "Maybe your dad is just working too hard."
"But we can't rule out the possibility of him being chosen by the ga, can we?" Kitagawa Marin bit her pink lips, her expression worried.
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Why don't you send him a ssage and ask?"
"No." Kitagawa Marin quickly shook her head. "Dad always likes to report good news and hide bad news. If he really is a player, he definitely won't say it, and it will make him worry about …"
Buzz buzz buzz.
Amamiya Natsuki frowned and waved her hand.
Not long after, the buzzing sound started again.
"Oh, how annoying!"
Kitagawa Marin stood up in annoyance, put the whole ice cream into her mouth, and started swatting mosquitoes. It must have been when she opened the window for ventilation that mosquitoes flew in from outside.
What's the most annoying sound in sumr?
It must be the sound of mosquitoes.
No other.
Mosquitoes, these things, are simply humanity's lifelong enemies. As soon as you hear that buzzing sound, even the best mood imdiately becos irritable.
Slap!
Kitagawa Marin began her mosquito-killing operation.
Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!
At the sa ti.
In the bathroom.
Juju had just finished bathing. Since it was already late, she didn't take a long bath, just simply washed her body with soap and prepared to go out.
But as soon as she opened the door a crack, she heard strange sounds coming from the living room.
Slap…!
Slap, slap…!
The colliding sounds were exceptionally loud, like thunder striking Juju's heart.
"No, no way?"
Juju's body suddenly stiffened, suspecting she had misheard.
Taking a deep breath, Juju was about to push the door open, but the slapping sounds outside the door beca more urgent and intense.
"…"
Juju's eyes widened, her body froze, her small face rapidly flushed at a visible speed, and white steam billowed from the top of her head.
"You two are too impatient!"
"If you really want to do that kind of thing, at least wait until I leave!"
Juju's small face was crimson like fire, her pearly teeth biting her lower lip, and the rapid thumping of her heart in her chest could be clearly heard.
"Could it be that they forgot I was still bathing in the bathroom?"
"It must be."
"Otherwise, why would they do that kind of thing… Eh, wait!"
Juju suddenly widened her eyes, thinking of another possibility.
"C-could it be intentional?"
"Precisely because I'm bathing in the bathroom, he forces Marin to do that kind of thing, feeling it's more stimulating…"
"Pervert!"
"Too perverted!"
Juju's small face was already red to the point of exploding, her body stiffly hiding behind the door. She dared not make a sound, nor dared to push the door open. She could only tightly press her legs together, enduring her body which was quietly becoming strange, while holding her breath and continuing to eavesdrop, simultaneously completing the unseen scenes in her mind.
"No, wait— Juju is still in the bathroom, wait until Juju leaves."
"I can't hold back anymore. Precisely because Juju is in the bathroom, it's even more exciting."
"W-wait, not there… What if Juju hears?"
"Wouldn't that be even better? Let Juju join in, the three of us play together, triple the fun."
"…!!"
Juju shook her head quickly, trying her best to dispel the terrible images in her mind, and breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
To actually want the three of them to play together, how could I possibly agree to that kind of thing!
I'd rather die than yield!
I won't agree!
Fortunately, not long after, the sounds from the living room ca to an end.
"Phew…"
Juju couldn't help but sigh in relief, feeling dizzy and her legs turning to jelly. If she hadn't been leaning against the door, she would have almost lost her balance.
"It should be over, right?"
Just as she was wondering when she could co out, a muffled groan, seemingly of extre frustration, ca from the living room again.
"Mmm mmm mmm—"
At the sa ti.
In the living room.
As expected of an enemy even the Bald Cape Demon King couldn't defeat, Marin worked hard for a while before finally swatting the mosquito.
Looking at the mosquito in her hand, Kitagawa Marin was about to put her hands on her hips and gloat for a mont when her expression suddenly changed. She eagerly leaned in front of Amamiya Natsuki, grunting and gesturing continuously.
