One World, One Ichika

She was truly sleepy now, and boldly kissed Fushimi Makoto's cheek. Satisfied, she returned to her previous spot and asked with concern, "Oh, right, I just remembered, how are you going to sleep later?"

Fushimi Makoto glanced at the large bed behind him. "I can sleep sideways without any problem."

"That would be uncomfortable."

"Actually, I've had enough sleep. You might not believe it, but I don't really need that much sleep."

"Really?" Nakano Nino didn't believe it.

Fushimi Makoto met her sleepy eyes. "If you don't believe me, I'll go to your room to rest, is that alright?"

Nakano Nino blushed; no matter how direct she was, this was too fast.

How can someone sleep with a boy as soon as they've decided they like him?

She wasn't even ready to give herself away yet.

Despite her shyness, she still got Fushimi Makoto a new set of supplies.

Before leaving, she smiled brightly and said, "Goodnight."

Fushimi Makoto: "Good night."

This time she did not linger.

Because she was extremely tired.

It was already quite late, and the coffee could only do so much. Besides, after calming down from her intense emotions, she was immediately overcome with drowsiness.

Fushimi Makoto, on the other hand, was not sleepy at all.

He threw the sheets and duvet cover into the washing machine, opened the window to ventilate the room, and then sat down in the dark living room.

Twenty minutes later, as he was engrossed in playing a mobile game with his headphones on, he caught a glimpse of a door opening in a room.

Are there more experts?

Fushimi Makoto was startled.

Then, Nakano Ichika tiptoed out of the room.

Nakano Ichika also saw Fushimi Makoto. She paused for a moment, then lowered her voice, her face full of surprise, and asked, "You were waiting for me? And you came all the way to the living room to wait for me?"

Fushimi Makoto glanced at the 3:40 AM timeline on his phone, then leaned back strategically. "Your question really caught me off guard."

"Huh? Looks like I was just being presumptuous?"

Nakano Ichika walked over with a smile.

By this time, there was no more movement from Nino's room, even though she had been stopped several times.

Once she was completely relieved, her steps became lighter.

But as soon as she arrived beside Fushimi Makoto, before she could even sit down, she smelled a familiar fragrance.

Wait, what does this taste like...?

Nino likes the scent of the shower gel!

Nakano Ichika's eyes sharpened.

Fushimi Makoto had been preparing all along, and now that he noticed Ichika's mood had changed, he casually remarked, "Nino came to see me earlier."

Nakano Ichika was taken aback, not expecting the other party to confess voluntarily.

Fushimi Makoto's expression remained natural. "Speaking of which, you only came out now. Did you accidentally fall asleep?"

"I did fall asleep, but not accidentally." Nakano Ichika turned to look at the guest room, her mind already on guard.

Fushimi Makoto chuckled. "You didn't think Nino was in my room, did you?"

"That's hard to say~"

Nakano Ichika responded with a forced smile, but her body moved over involuntarily.

When she saw that there was no one in the room, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she was really afraid that Nino would end up in Fushimi Makoto's bed, and if that happened, she would really be cheated out of her home.

Huh?

Why are there no sheets or duvet covers in Makoto's room?

Why does the mattress look wet?

Nakano Ichika soon made a new discovery.

She returned to Fushimi Makoto's side, her teasing undisguised. "Makoto, you came all the way to the living room just because you wet the bed... Pfft."

In the end, she couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing.

Fushimi Makoto calmly replied, "It seems your observation skills aren't sharp enough."

Why do you say that?

"You overlooked the teacup on the table."

"Oh, you accidentally knocked over the teacup. I thought you wet the bed. What a relief!"

Nakano Ichika covered her mouth, laughing quite happily.

If it weren't so late, her sisters would definitely have heard her laughter.

Fushimi Makoto's apology was very natural. "I'm so sorry, I was so engrossed in my phone that I didn't even hold the teacup properly. I'll take the mattress out to air it out when the sun comes out later."

"It's okay, I often eat sitting on the bed too, and sometimes I drop crumbs on the bed."

Nakano Ichika, of course, wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

What she cared about was why Nino came to see Fushimi Makoto in the middle of the night.

Is it possible that Nino, like herself, came here for a night raid?

If that's the case, then haven't I fallen behind?

Her emotions kept shifting, and finally she went around behind the sofa, bent down, and took the initiative to hug Fushimi Makoto's neck. "You can't even sleep in your room, so are you planning to sit here until dawn?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Fushimi Makoto didn't deny it. "Anyway, I've had enough sleep, so why don't I wait until you get up and then make you breakfast to express my apology."

"Breakfast isn't important."

Nakano Ichika smiled gently, seemingly casually asking, "Since neither of us can sleep, now you can give me extra help and help me improve."

Interesting.

Progress is secondary; accumulating practical experience is the real goal.

The translation is: She wants to start her routine skincare routine.

Fushimi Makoto understands this.

Nakano Ichika's small face came closer, pressing against his cheek, forming an ambiguous position.

Then she said the words Fushimi Makoto had expected, "Come on, come inside with me."

Chapter 99 Ichika, One World

"Come lie down, I recently learned this, so I'll practice on you~"

In Nakano Ichika's bedroom, the girl must have cleaned and prepared in advance. The whole room was not as dirty and messy as usual. Not only was it well ventilated in advance, but all the furniture and floors were also cleaned.

At this moment, she sat on the edge of the bed and Fushimi Makoto, holding a box of ear-cleaning tools in her left hand.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone use others as guinea pigs and say it so confidently."

Fushimi Makoto joked, walked over, took off his shoes, and lay down on Nakano Ichika's lap.

Even through her pajama bottoms, he could feel the girl's firm, rounded thighs.

"The term 'guinea pig' isn't quite accurate, you know. I studied it in secret for a long time, and even Nino and the others haven't experienced it."

Nakano Ichika opened the box with a smile, her words full of the expectant attitude of "You're the first one, haven't I been good to you?"

"So, does that mean I had the luckiest episode today?"

"That's right."

Nakano Ichika bent down and carefully cleaned Fushimi Makoto's ears, saying smugly, "Actually, I should have come to find you a long time ago, but Nino is so naughty, she blocked my way all night without sleeping."

Fushimi Makoto couldn't help but chuckle, "I was wondering if that was true, but it turns out Nino really did it?"

"Yes, Nino is getting more and more outrageous. What kind of younger sister doesn't sleep and just waits to intercept her older sister?"

Nakano Ichika sighed dejectedly.

Before Fushimi Makoto could speak, she smiled and said, "However, in the end, I still came out slightly better."

Fushimi Makoto said that wasn't necessarily true; Nino had already taken the step of stealing the base.

He closed his eyes, contentedly enjoying Nakano Ichika's "reward".

He was enveloped in the girl's lovely hair and body fragrance.

Because he was lying in Nakano Ichika's arms, and when the girl lowered her head to clean his ears, her chest naturally pressed against his head.

It has to be said that Nakano Ichika really knows how to flirt.

Even though Yukino didn't rate her skill level as high, she was really good at these little tricks.

"I don't have any scenes to film today, so I can stay home all day," Nakano Ichika said with a smile in her eyes.

This statement came out of the blue, sounding like she was just chatting casually.

But Fushimi Makoto knew that she was implying to him that she could play with him until the afternoon.

Without filming work, she can completely relax and doesn't need to memorize lines or practice her acting skills in advance.

Fushimi Makoto continued, "Not just today, your scenes are almost all filmed. After we finish filming the two scenes for the supporting characters, we'll add a few more shots for you, and then we can move on to post-production editing."

Nakano Ichika seemed intrigued by the topic, her eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness. "What kind of reaction do you think we'll get after the short film is officially released?"

"Of course, the reviews are mostly positive."

"You're so confident?"

"It's not that I'm confident, but I have complete faith in you all. I've seen your hard work and dedication. Everyone's put in so much effort; if we still don't succeed, then there would truly be no justice."

"Hehe, even though I know you're just praising me on purpose, I'm still very happy."

Fushimi Makoto stretched, but because he was lying down, when he raised his hand, he touched a soft, warm touch.

He said "I'm sorry" insincerely.

Nakano Ichika blushed slightly, but smiled and bent over, the movement even more pronounced than before.

Now Fushimi Makoto was completely humiliated.

She looked into Fushimi Makoto's eyes, the blush on her face adding a touch of allure, "What do you think we should do in this atmosphere?"

Fushimi Makoto: "Didn't you say you wanted me to give you special tutoring? Now that we can't sleep either, why don't we just get started?"

Nakano Ichika nodded with a smile, "Okay, you said it yourself."

She thought Fushimi Makoto was joking, so she played along.

To everyone's Fushimi Makoto then said, "Given the quality of this short film, I bet Aunt Yukinoshita will definitely help promote it after watching it. If all goes well, your fame will officially take off."

Nakano Ichika was stunned.

No, you're actually talking to me seriously now?

But right now my mind is full of inappropriate things!

Fushimi Makoto seemed oblivious and continued, "In my estimation, even if your acting skills don't reach movie-level standards after the short film airs, those production teams will definitely still be willing to give you a chance, after all, popularity is very valuable."

Seeing that he was serious, Nakano Ichika pondered, "So my chance has really come?"

"Yes, your chance to become famous has arrived. With your personality and abilities, seizing this opportunity shouldn't be difficult. However, your age will likely attract jealousy from your peers. Remember to maintain a positive attitude. If you really suffer any injustice, come find me."

Fushimi Makoto casually patted her thigh; it felt really nice.

Hearing his confident tone, Nakano Ichika's beautiful eyes sparkled. "You'll help me get revenge?"

"Otherwise what?"

"I understand, I'll listen to you."
