Time Loop in Anime Multiverse, I Do Whatever I Want

Nakano Ichika suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around the back of Fushimi Makoto's neck.

As her pleasant scent washed over him, she exerted force with her arms, pulling his face firmly against her chest.

"Embrace of Makoto Kill!"

She mimicked the boys in her class, calling out softly with flushed cheeks.

As for Fushimi Makoto, he immediately delivered the classic line: "I can't breathe."

The young girl smiled, her face beet red: "Girls can be a little vengeful, you know. Last time, you mentioned my acting career without hesitation, and in front of other girls, too. I was so embarrassed back then."

She suppressed her shyness, looking at Fushimi Makoto's disheveled expression as he held his breath, and smiled like a little fox that had successfully stolen a treat: "But this time, I won."

As her words faded, her shyness reached its limit, and she turned and scurried away.

Fushimi Makoto caught his breath, feeling as if he could still sense the incredibly vivid sensation from just a moment ago.

I don't know if you won, but I certainly didn't lose.

Fushimi Makoto looked up at the apartment balcony and saw a few blurry figures.

He glanced at Nakano Ichika, who was stepping into the elevator, and thought to himself that once she got home, she wouldn't be winning anymore.

Everything was just as Fushimi Makoto had expected; up on the balcony, the four girls led by Nakano Nino were completely stunned.

"Ichika just hugged him!" Nakano Yotsuba said quite loudly.

Nakano Nino retorted irritably: "You don't need to tell me, the whole kitchen staff saw it."

Nakano Miku pressed her lips together tightly, and only after a long while did she say: "Is Ichika dating?"

"I don't know either."

Nakano Nino shook her head and instinctively looked at Nakano Itsuki, who had remained silent: "Itsuki, aren't you friends with Fushimi? Did you investigate their relationship?"

Nakano Itsuki looked up: "I didn't investigate."

"Ichika is our family; this kind of thing must be investigated thoroughly... wait, I remember you saying earlier that you went out with Fushimi today, too."

Nakano Nino recalled the key point.

At this, Miku and Yotsuba both turned their gazes toward her as well.

Feeling the stares of her sisters, Nakano Itsuki turned her head away in slight embarrassment and said sheepishly: "Ichika bought me a lot of meat buns, so I felt bad about following them around."

"You were bought off by a few meat buns? Are you really a meat bun monster!" Nakano Nino complained.

Nakano Yotsuba giggled: "That's definitely something Ichika would do; she's very good at bribing us."

"To be precise, she just likes to tease us," Nakano Miku added.

Nakano Nino raised a hand to her forehead; it seemed she would have to handle this herself.

That night, as soon as Nakano Ichika returned home from the set, she was subjected to a harsh interrogation by her sisters.

Fortunately, she had already stepped halfway into society, and her experience and mentality were more mature than her sisters', so she fought with all her might and finally defeated her opponents.

"Damn it, Ichika, you're getting more and more cunning!"

Nakano Nino found Ichika again after coming out of the shower; her loose pajamas couldn't hide her well-developed figure, and with her arms crossed over her chest, her stunning curves were even more pronounced.

She was pouting at the moment.

Although she was pouty even when she wasn't trying to be.

"Nino, you're just in time. I want to discuss something with you." Nakano Ichika wore a fawning smile.

"You're smiling so hideously, what do you want?"

"You have extra stockings, right? Lend me a pair."

"Huh?"

Nakano Ichika wheedled and begged, eventually managing to borrow a pair of stockings from Nino.

She put them on and looked at herself in the mirror.

My legs really are beautiful.

The only regret is that I'm not as tall as Kasumigaoka-senpai; otherwise, my legs would look even better.

Nakano Ichika picked up her phone, aimed it at her beautiful legs, took a picture, and sent it to Fushimi Makoto.

Fushimi Makoto replied quickly: [Why are you sending me food photos in the middle of the night?]

Nakano Ichika chuckled.

Then, she remembered something.

Earlier, when she used the "Embrace of Makoto Kill" on Fushimi Makoto, she had felt the presence of a weapon.

Although she wasn't great at her studies, she had heard a saying: Once one possesses a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises.

For a boy in puberty, the desire to kill is even heavier...

Nakano Ichika hadn't thought about doing that kind of thing so soon, but she also knew that it must be very uncomfortable for boys to hold it in all the time.

If I only use my hands, would that work?

But this kind of thing requires practice first, right?

She blushed, sneaking over to open the refrigerator in the middle of the night, and sure enough, there was a cucumber that Nino had bought for cooking.

She stole one.

Early the next morning.

Nakano Nino was about to prepare breakfast for her sisters when she inadvertently noticed that the number of cucumbers was off.

Who stole it?

Then, she immediately suspected Itsuki.

Chapter 29: Hooking Her Like a Bighead Carp

Over the next three days, Fushimi Makoto got everything sorted for the new club in one go.

Besides him, Ichika, Itsuki, and Yukino had all proactively filled out application forms.

According to Nakano Ichika, Yotsuba might join this week, but she wasn't sure about the other two yet.

During these three days, because Nakano Ichika had landed a role, she only saw Fushimi Makoto at school; the rest of the time she was busy, so they could only chat online, and...

She would send photos of herself that she thought were very beautiful.

To this, Fushimi Makoto's response was: "Your photography skills are still as mediocre as ever."

Whenever this happened, Nakano Ichika would always take a photo of her own beautiful legs and attach a line of text: "Since you're so good at taking pictures, why don't you come and take some of me?"

This was no longer a simple provocation; it required a heavy counterattack, a solo kill in real life!

Fushimi Makoto already had a plan in mind.

Matsukaze Mayu had also returned to normal over the past few days, and whenever she saw him, she no longer dodged his gaze in shyness like she did that day.

After all, the fact that she had made soy milk for him personally still made her quite embarrassed.

During this period, a small episode occurred: Fushimi Makoto received a call from his parents in this world.

His father mentioned on the phone that the Yukinoshita family from Chiba had visited several times, acting very polite the entire time and frequently mentioning Fushimi Makoto, expressing their appreciation.

"That Mrs. Yukinoshita is planning to bring us into a business deal, but I'm a bit worried. Makoto, are you very familiar with their family?"

His father, an ordinary office worker, expressed his unease.

"Rest assured, because I have a very good relationship with the Yukinoshita family, they are genuinely trying to help our family."

With his repeated assurances, the couple finally felt at ease.

Mrs. Yukinoshita's move had indeed exceeded his expectations.

He had thought that the beautiful lady would at most invite him to a meal occasionally, using the dinner to bring him and Yukino closer.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Yukinoshita's feedback would come so quickly, choosing to attack his family's base directly.

If nothing goes wrong, the elders of the two families will interact more frequently in the future, and because of the binding of interests, their relationship will only get better.

Because of the time loop, Fushimi Makoto didn't care as much about money as he did before he transmigrated.

However, since Mrs. Yukinoshita was willing to help his family make money, he wouldn't refuse.

"Aunt Yukinoshita is using a pincer strategy."

At noon that day, Fushimi Makoto sighed while sitting in the cafeteria.

Yukino, who had been dragged over by him to eat together, looked up and said expressionlessly, "You were secretly chatting with my mother again?"

"Secretly? Yukino, although you are second in the grade, sometimes your word choice is indeed not very accurate." Fushimi Makoto corrected her.

Yukino had long since figured out his personality, so she chose to ignore him and continued to ask, "What did you talk about with my mother?"

"Nothing much, it's just that from her words, I can feel that she probably hopes I will join the Yukinoshita family."

"..."

Yukino didn't say anything this time.

This was indeed something her mother would do.

Therefore, she couldn't be sure if Fushimi Makoto was joking.

But she also had her own way of dealing with it: "So, you really want to marry into the family?"

Fushimi Makoto smiled: "I'll say it again, why isn't it you marrying over here?"

Yukino didn't blush this time; instead, she smiled playfully: "If you plan to conquer me now, then I'm looking forward to your plan."

"You're in such a hurry?"

"Although you are first in the grade, your word choice is also not very accurate." Yukino retorted.

Then, she said unhurriedly: "You should know that now that I'm mentally prepared, the difficulty of conquering me has increased significantly."

Fushimi Makoto: "It's fine, at worst I'll just go and conquer Miss Haruno."

Yukino's expression stiffened.

She couldn't help but sigh: "If your personality could be a bit more serious, I would probably be very happy to have a friend like you."

Fushimi Makoto said calmly, "If I truly had such a rigid and old-fashioned personality, I wouldn't have been able to survive the time loop."

Yukinoshita fell silent.

A moment later, she said softly, "It was my oversight."

She could sense Fushimi Makoto's emotions.

Those days must have been incredibly agonizing.

He wasn't wrong; if someone with a rigid personality had to endure a time loop, they would likely be driven insane by the infinitely repeating time.

Just as Yukinoshita was about to change the subject, she noticed Fushimi Makoto seemed to be studying her.

She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What is it?"

Fushimi Makoto smiled slightly. "I've discovered that the gentle version of Yukinoshita is even cuter than the shy version."

Yukinoshita covered her forehead, looking at him with utter disdain. "Can't you think about something serious other than these things every day?"

"Speaking of which, I've already finished the plan for the club's short film shoot."

"Hm?"

Yukinoshita hadn't expected him to change the topic so quickly.

But being an excellent girl, she immediately kept up with the pace. "I've looked up information over the past few days; even for just shooting a short film, there are so many, many things that need to be done."

Fushimi Makoto: "I can do them all."

Yukinoshita: "?"

"Whether it's lighting, sound recording, or directing, I've studied all these jobs."

"Starting to show off again, are we?"

Yukinoshita responded indifferently, though in her heart, she felt a bit of admiration.
