Chapter 272
Speaking of the photo that would surprise Nijika and Ryo after the performance, Ikuyo instantly guessed what the photo was.
Those are photos that Ishikawa Hayato took of her!
The photo itself isn't important; what matters is what happened after it was taken.
She rushed over and snatched the phone back as if she were grabbing it.
"That's it! It's just a regular photo."
Ikuyo spoke, she remembered that Ishikawa Hayato was not in that photo, which reassured her somewhat.
But everyone noticed her panic.
Having already decided to see things through to the end, Nijika and Ryo had no intention of giving up. Hitori, too, became curious about the story behind the photo because of Ikuyo's strange behavior.
Hitori directly pointed out the difference in this photo.
"This photo was taken by a falcon, right..."
Nijika recalled the last photos and messages she saw before Ikuyo took her phone back.
"Judging by the time, it must have been around the music festival. So that's why Kita- chan said she had something to do that day..."
Liang asked with a hint of schadenfreude.
"You seem so nervous, did you do something afterwards?"
The worst-case scenario has occurred.
The three of them, each contributing a sentence, pushed the situation towards the scenario Ikuyo feared most.
"I'd rather not have this..."
Ikuyo a troubled expression, but then suddenly noticed Nijika's somewhat deep gaze.
She realized that if she didn't explain, they might guess something even more outrageous.
She hesitated for a moment, while all three of them were debating whether to stop, and even Nijika said, "Well, it's not good to push ourselves too hard..."
Ikuyo, seemingly going all out, shouted loudly to mask her shyness.
That was my first kiss!
The Women's Association reached its first major milestone, making it truly deserving of its name.
"Ah..." Nijika didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or marvel at how quickly the two of them had made their progress without anyone noticing.
Although Liang knew the outcome, he was still not surprised.
"The Falcon actually gave its first kiss under those circumstances."
"Now that it's been exposed to this extent, Ikuyo has nothing to be afraid of," she said softly.
"No, actually it was me..."
The three of them were dumbfounded.
With Hitori trembling yet admiring expression, Ichiri asked, "Was it Kita- chan who took the initiative?"
Ikuyo nodded silently.
"That's amazing!"
Even Liang couldn't help but admire her. Although her first kiss was more exciting—a stolen kiss across the corridor with her back to three people—she wasn't entirely proactive.
Ikuyo sat in the pool, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed.
Liang knew there was nothing more to dig into about this person; at most, she could only hear about the interesting stories of their relationship.
She's not a masochist, and she's not particularly interested in how her boyfriend and her friends hang out in private.
She turned to Hitori, who was still looking amazed, and said...
"Then it's Bocchi's turn. When was his first kiss?"
This question is too simple; even Nijika could guess it directly.
"It's the day after Kita- chan, right?"
"Yes..."
Hitori Ichiri understood why the other two were so shy.
It's really embarrassing for people you know, or even those who are even remotely connected to this matter, to know this.
Seeing that Hitori seemed to be melting, the three of them tacitly stopped asking her questions.
The three women, who were very familiar with Hitori, knew that if they continued, they would be soaking in Hitori juice instead of water.
This incident also caused them to calm down a bit from their initial excitement.
However, Liang glanced at Nijika and, seeing that she seemed about to end the conversation, continued.
"The next one is Nijika."
All three were very curious about how Ishikawa Hayato won over Nijika.
"Huh?!"
Nijika was startled.
Ikuyo didn't care about Nijika's reaction, which seemed like she was trying to avoid him, and smiled as she approached to ask.
"That's right! Ijichi-senpai, please tell us quickly too."
A fair woman will not allow anyone to shirk their responsibilities.
You have to reveal roughly the same amount of information as others.
Nijika noticed this from Ikuyo's increasingly bright and approaching gaze.
"Then... I didn't..."
Ikuyo smiled and waved his hand.
"At this point, Ijichi-senpai, there's no need to hide anything anymore."
Nijika's embarrassment gradually turned into awkwardness.
It's true...
Liang noticed her embarrassment and asked directly, "You haven't even kissed yet?"
The oldest, Nijika, nodded weakly.
Ikuyo found it hard to believe, but looking at Nijika's current state, she had no choice but to believe it.
"Eh... Hayato-kun actually..."
Liang observed Nijika's appearance and analyzed the situation.
"It's probably because she didn't want to, otherwise Falcon definitely wouldn't have hesitated."
After a moment of silence, Nijika couldn't help but complain to the three people who had various experiences.
"You guys were too fast! How could you do that kind of thing so quickly!"
"That kind of thing?"
Liang Mingming knew perfectly well, but pretended not to know and asked a question in return.
Ikuyo suddenly acted foolishly.
"Hmm, what does Ijichi-senpai mean?"
Hitori didn't speak, but instead fell into thought.
Looking at their reactions, Nijika was filled with doubt and began to wonder if she hadn't made herself clear enough.
She opened her mouth, trying to say the word.
"S... se..."
The word was harder to say than she had imagined; Nijika felt her face turn red before she could even finish uttering it.
Upon seeing her like that, and seeing the beginning of the poem, Ikuyo immediately realized what was going on and shyly interrupted her.
"Ah... I understand, Ijichi-senpai, please stop talking!"
After she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of her shyness, but her face was still flushed.
Rather, the four girls in the bathroom all had flushed faces; there was nowhere there to cool them down.
"It's different from what Ijichi-senpai thought..." Ikuyo glanced at Ryo, and seeing that she didn't react, she continued, "Among those people who have done things with Hayato-kun, Ryo-senpai is probably the only one, right?"
Nijika was stunned, blinking blankly.
She knew that Ryo and Ishikawa Hayato had done it, and what Ikuyo meant by saying that was...
She hadn't done it either, and not even Hitori?!
Nijika looked about Hitori away.
Hitori nodded after noticing her gaze.
For some reason, Nijika breathed a huge sigh of relief, and her tense heart, which had been taut since the start of the conversation, suddenly relaxed.
She herself wasn't sure why this was happening; perhaps it was because she felt that the others hadn't reached the finish line before she entered.
Regardless of what she really thought, she did feel much more comfortable.
"Does this mean that only one shameless person will be caught?"
Nijika only uses such unrestrained and sharp-tongued remarks with Ishikawa Hayato and Ryo.
I wasn't bothered by the sarcastic remarks; I offered a calm explanation.
"We get along very well. Since we've met someone we like so naturally, we should make it happen as soon as possible."
Nijika felt defeated by Liang. Had this person forgotten that he was a girl?
"Take him down... you take down Hayato-kun?"
Ikuyo smiled admiringly.
"Ryo-senpai is really wild."
Hitori hearing Ryo's words, Ichiri stared straight at Ryo.
Liang noticed Hitori's gaze and asked.
"Bocchi, what's wrong?"
Hitori paused for a moment and then asked.
"How did Liang Sang... win him over?"
Her words froze the two Yangjiao beside her. They glanced at Hitori, then looked at Liang without making a sound.
In the past, Nijika might have interrupted this conversation, but now she couldn't help but follow in Hitori and Ikuyo's footsteps.
Liang glanced at the three of them and, seeing that Hitori wasn't angry or jealous, but simply curious, spoke up.
"I simply expressed my willingness to do it, and then arranged a time with him."
Hitori, it dawned on him that he was the same as her.
But since she didn't actually know much about those things, she wanted to learn more so that she would be more confident and less flustered when the time came.
"Anything else...?"
At this moment, the two guys who had been leading the conversation fell silent, unusually quiet, watching the two talk from the steaming pool.
Ryo knew what Hitori was worried about. She glanced at the Yangjiao group, who were clearly curious but too embarrassed to ask.
She's not the type to say everything, but she's in a good mood today, and it's also a way of fulfilling her promise to Ishikawa Hayato that she'd help him with his perverted love life.
"There's nothing else to worry about. He didn't really understand this before, but now that he's skilled... you should remember how fast Hayabusa learns things, right?"
Ikuyo, Nijika, Hitori had no clear understanding of that aspect, but a powerful landmark appeared in their minds.
At this moment, Nijika was thinking:
