Chapter 147

She was overjoyed.

Although Falcon was paying attention to others, he was still so attentive to her.

Bocchi knew perfectly well that she had already entered the one-way trolley called Love, and the trolley was still accelerating, with no intention of braking, even though she was the one controlling it.

At this moment, nestled in Ishikawa Hayato's arms, she felt incredibly happy, even wishing she could press her entire body against him.

However, she was still somewhat rational and wouldn't actually do that in front of the other three.

Furthermore, she sensed that if they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, Ishikawa Hayato would definitely not agree to any closer contact with her.

Seeing that even the two of them weren't going to play in the water anymore, Kita also left the water.

The three of them went back to the villa to take a shower.

In the bathroom, Kita finished her shower early and looked at Bocchi. She was a little worried about whether Bocchi could handle things on his own, since Bocchi had been walking unsteadily when he came back before.

However, her kind offer was rejected by Bocchi.

"Kita- chan, don't wait for me, you can go out now."

"Are you really okay, Gotou-san?"

"Hmm, it's nothing."

Seeing that Bocchi didn't need help, Kita didn't linger and turned to leave the bathroom.

Only after watching Kita leave did Bocchi finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

After the outermost door opened and closed again, Bocchi took out Summoning Ticket that was completely wrapped in a sealed bag from the towel and placed it on the shelf next to him.

She hesitated for a long time before finally looking away and continuing her shower.

Meanwhile, Kita, having left the bathroom, dried himself off in the changing room, dried his hair, changed his clothes, and went outside.

She walked into the lobby and saw Ishikawa Hayato sitting on the sofa, looking at his phone and waiting for them. She walked over and sat down a little distance away from him.

After a moment's hesitation, she spoke, somewhat powerless.

"I feel like I owe Gotou-san more and more..."

Although Ishikawa Hayato is one of the causes, Kita is certain that he can help resolve the issue.

Ishikawa Hayato looked up at her and, seeing her sullen expression, knew she was serious, so he spoke.

"Then you can be nicer to me, I'll be nicer to Bocchi for you."

Kita was surprised by Ishikawa Hayato's answer and couldn't help but exclaim.

"This method of repayment is absolutely terrible."

Ishikawa Hayato suddenly realized that this was a rare opportunity to spend time alone with Kita during this trip, so he sat down without hesitation next to Kita.

Kita watched him warily.

Ishikawa Hayato said.

"Let's put it another way. Aren't we a couple now? Your business is my business, and my business is your business."

"And this was a mistake we all made together."

Kita knew very well that she was the one who caused things to develop into what they were now, and seeing him take responsibility like this made her feel much more relieved.

But she was only touched for a moment before she realized something was wrong. She looked at him with a hint of disdain and said in a coquettish and teasing voice.

"Is there something you need, Hayato-kun?"

"Kita's energy is low, I want a hug."

Ishikawa Hayato was outspoken.

Kita was surprised that he actually dared to say that. He glanced back at the quiet bathroom and said in a low voice, annoyed.

"That's terrible! Gotou-san is still here!"

Ishikawa Hayato could tell that her refusal was not firm.

"It takes at least 6 or 7 seconds to get here from the bathroom door to here."

Kita a moment, torn between the guilt that Ishikawa Hayato had lessened and his own feelings.

In the end, she was defeated by her true self, and seeing Ishikawa Hayato interacting with others made her very resentful.

I always feel like you're going to turn me into a bad person...

She complained softly.

Hearing that she didn't refuse, Ishikawa Hayato pulled her into his arms and made her sit on his lap.

Kita was about to complain, he heard him say that.

"Yesterday, Ikuyo was right in front of me all day, but I didn't dare to get too close. It was really painful."

Not only him, Kita herself felt the same way. Hearing Ishikawa Hayato say that, she felt a sense of joy that the two of them were thinking the same thing.

Seeing that Ishikawa Hayato's Ishikawa Hayato were still relatively obedient, she let him hug her, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

Aren't we just like that worst couple in a TV drama right now?

"It could get even worse."

Ishikawa Hayato pouted with a smile.

"No."

Kita reached out and pressed his hand to his lips.

"Your palms are so soft."

Ishikawa Hayato gave him a kiss, Kita withdrew his hand as if he'd been electrocuted.

"Abnormal!"

"Thanks."

I wasn't complimenting you!

"Ikuyo just took a shower and she smells really nice."

"I didn't ask you to praise me at this time!"

"Ikuyo, who was running around happily on the beach earlier, was also very cute."

"Stop talking!"

Kita embarrassed by the teasing that he even pulled his legs back.

Ishikawa Hayato stopped teasing her and smiled as he watched her shy yet slightly displeased expression.

Noticing Ishikawa Hayato's teasing gaze, Kita turned his face away to avoid being seen, but quickly looked back at the door.

Of course, she didn't realize anyone was coming; she just didn't want to hide, but was too shy to face Ishikawa Hayato's gaze directly.

"Ikuyo, to avoid us becoming a terrible secret couple, should we..."

"No."

Kita's tone was unusually resolute.

Although she has good social, athletic, and learning abilities, she has always been the one receiving help from Bocchi.

Whether it was asking Bocchi to perform for her at the beginning, or almost causing Bocchi to be bullied later, or learning guitar, or many other things, she always caused Bocchi trouble.

Even if Bocchi said it was okay, she still couldn't honestly tell Bocchi that she was dating Ishikawa Hayato.

And...

"What do you want after I tell you? Do you want me to be one of your many girlfriends?"

She punched Ishikawa Hayato's leg with her heel and complained with a laugh.

"What do you mean how many... only four..." Ishikawa Hayato said weakly.

"So you've really planned this out?"

Kita.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent. She was thinking, her bluish-yellow eyes darting rapidly across the ground.

Ishikawa Hayato watched her quietly and attentively, watched her sitting cutely on his lap thinking, watched her little feet dangling but still not reaching the ground, only her slippers barely touching the ground, every movement of hers was indescribably adorable.

He didn't disturb her.

She hesitated for a long time before she spoke.

Let me think about it.

"Ikuyo ~~"

Ishikawa Hayato pouted, touched Kita immediately became alert and glanced down the corridor.

"Can't kiss..."

As she hesitated, Ishikawa Hayato said.

"I know."

"Um."

Kita felt relieved. She knew this man was taking advantage of her, but he wouldn't lie about a promise.

Just as she was thinking this, a force came from the waist where Ishikawa Hayato's Ishikawa Hayato were wrapped around her, causing her to lean against him.

She looked at Ishikawa Hayato with disdain.

"What do you want?"

"Shouldn't we be closer?"

Kita, sensing that he wasn't using much force, but he didn't let go of her shoulders.

She hesitated for a moment, then relaxed and muttered a curse under her breath.

"Asshole..."

"I'd be happy if you called me a pervert."

I won't make you happy.

Their voices were very close, soft and gentle, like they were coaxing each other, or perhaps sighing softly.

The low sound made my ears itch and my heart tingle.

His head was pressed against the side of her face.

The girl's hair was soft, with fine black strands and a delicate fragrance. Even her sideburns felt like downy hair, and it was very comfortable to touch.

As they whispered sweet nothings to each other, Ishikawa Hayato noticed Kita's breathing quicken slightly. He could sense that she wanted to complain about something, but for various reasons, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

As her heartbeat became increasingly noticeable.

He slowly and gently kissed Kita's cheek.

After a brief taste, Kita quickly pushed him away and sat silently on Ishikawa Hayato's lap, adjusting her breathing.

Ishikawa Hayato lowered his hand and continued to gently massage her waist, feeling the happiness of her heartbeat resonating with his.

For a long time, the two remained silent until the sound of the bathroom door opening echoed from the other end of the corridor. Kita fled and sat on the sofa in the spot furthest away from Ishikawa Hayato.

126. The first bell

After showering and drying himself, Bocchi came out of the bathroom and dried his hair in the dressing room.

As the hairdryer hummed, Bocchi's long pink hair swayed in the breeze.

Although she firmly believed that Ishikawa Hayato would keep his promise to take care of her in the future, there was still a sliver of fear in her heart that she couldn't shake off.

Just in case...
