The girl couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly held up her phone, saying, "Everyone, look at this! I saw Fushimi on a trending channel!"
"Eh?"
The other four were all taken aback.
Nakano Nino was the most agitated and quickly leaned in.
When she watched the video content, she was also dumbfounded.
This is what you called having a way to solve it?
Leading the police on a desperate chase through the city in the middle of the night?
"What is Makoto doing? Is he in trouble?"
Nakano Ichika was incredibly anxious and instinctively wanted to call him.
But she quickly realized that Fushimi Makoto was currently on the run; wouldn't calling him just distract him?
So, she forced herself to steady her emotions and called her father instead.
"Fushimi-san is running so fast." Nakano Yotsuba replayed the video, leading to a new discovery.
Miku watched for a while and nodded, "Really fast."
Nakano Yotsuba scratched her head and said, "Did you notice? Fushimi-san's face was caught on camera in the video. His expression looks especially relaxed, and his timing on the turns is very steady. He must be very familiar with the route. The whole video looks like... he's exercising?"
This remark earned her a synchronized eye-roll from the four sisters.
Who in the world uses a police chase as a form of exercise?
In fact, Nakano Yotsuba was spot on.
Fushimi Makoto was indeed exercising.
These past few days, aside from studying music composition, he had been desperately improving his physical fitness, speed, and agility.
A police chase could be considered a decent way to train.
Anyone who has played GTA knows that when you don't want to be caught by the police, you can always keep your eyes peeled and ears open, unleashing incredible skills to evade capture.
The prerequisite is that you don't get out of the car and start a shootout with the police.
Fushimi Makoto was currently playing a live-action version of GTA.
His current speed wasn't enough to outrun a police car, so he decided to start an "obstacle course," leading the police through all sorts of bizarre routes.
The police officers' stamina was nowhere near that of the cheating Fushimi Makoto. After chasing him for a few blocks, the officers were completely exhausted and crouched by the side of the road, gasping for air.
"How can kids these days run so much? Is he an athlete or something?"
A middle-aged officer panted, his uniform completely soaked through.
His colleagues were too busy catching their breath to respond.
Just then, an arm reached out from the side, holding a bottle of mineral water: "Have some water, officer."
"Thanks."
The police officers thanked him one after another; they were indeed parched.
But as they twisted off the caps and looked up casually, they realized the person handing them water was none other than Fushimi Makoto.
"You..."
The officers were stunned. Was he here to mock them?
Fushimi Makoto said with extreme friendliness, "You all worked hard today. I'm quite sorry for causing you such trouble."
One officer asked in surprise, "So, you've decided to turn yourself in?"
"No, I've decided to go home. Goodbye."
As soon as Fushimi Makoto finished speaking, he decisively ended today's time loop.
[Host may choose to retain the memories of any target. Do you have any such need?]
"No need."
With a flash of white light, Fushimi Makoto reappeared in his own home.
His phone vibrated; Yukino had sent a good morning greeting.
Fushimi Makoto looked at the bright weather outside the window and muttered to himself, "It's time to find a moment to go see Yukinoshita."
He typed a reply: [Good morning, my cute bro.]
Yukino: [If possible, please refrain from communicating with me using such troublesome language.]
Fushimi Makoto did not reply.
Because he had a plan.
And so, on the 27th day of the time loop, relying on his experience from the previous days, he "borrowed" the motorcycles belonging to those two hoodlums early in the morning.
He left one by the side of the road and rode the other one away himself.
In the days past, he would kick a local hoodlum every single day.
Once, relying on his improved physical stats, he leaped into the air and kicked two people flying with a double strike.
The movement was perfect and cool, leaving Nakano Nino's heart fluttering.
Donning his helmet, he rode his motorcycle toward Yukino's apartment.
On the way, he sent a message to Yukino: [Bro, hurry up and eat breakfast, I'm coming over to hang out with you.]
Chapter 36: Yukinoshita, I'm Going to Conquer You
Morning.
Having just woken up, Yukino stared at her phone in a slight daze.
There were no outsiders in the house, so she was wearing only a light-colored camisole nightdress, not even wearing any undergarments beneath it.
The hem of the nightdress was very short, barely covering the base of her thighs, revealing her beautiful legs without reservation. Her thighs were fair, tender, and rounded, while her calves were slender and delicate, as if they could be held within a single grasp.
The toes inside her slippers were pink and plump, with neatly trimmed nails that, on such a morning, looked as striking as petals blooming in spring.
Yukino's phone screen still displayed the message Fushimi Makoto had sent: Bro, hurry up and eat breakfast, I'm coming over to hang out with you.
"What does he mean by 'hang out'?"
Yukino couldn't figure it out.
Surely he didn't mean he was coming over right this second?
She pondered for a moment, feeling that such a thing was indeed in line with Fushimi Makoto's personality.
But she couldn't think of a reason for him to come looking for her so early in the morning.
To go to school together?
Probably not.
If he just wanted to experience going to school with a girl, he could have easily contacted the five Nakano sisters, or perhaps Kasumigaoka, the upperclassman everyone at school talked about.
Yukino couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she decided to make breakfast first.
After eating, she was about to return to her bedroom to change clothes when the doorbell rang.
At the same time, her phone vibrated.
Yukino picked it up to see another message from Fushimi Makoto: [Bro, hurry up and open the door, I'm right at your doorstep.]
Question marks appeared over Yukino's head.
Is this guy for real?
She quickly replied with a "Wait a moment," hurried to her bedroom to grab a long coat to throw on, and then went to the door.
Looking through the peephole, she really did see Fushimi Makoto.
But why was this guy wearing a motorcycle helmet?
What kind of high school student wears a helmet to visit a girl early in the morning?
Yukino wrapped her coat tightly around herself and opened the door.
Fushimi Makoto's auto-aim instantly activated, subconsciously sweeping over her fair, tender calves and the snow-white feet inside her slippers.
"Please mind your eyes."
Yukino subconsciously pulled her feet back, then asked with a headache, "Why are you here to see me at this hour?"
Fushimi Makoto: "I'm here to mooch a meal."
Yukino let out a cold laugh: "I'm closing the door."
Fushimi Makoto remained unhurried: "Fine, I'm here to take you out to have some fun."
Yukino closed the door without hesitation.
Fushimi Makoto's expression didn't change at all.
After waiting for three seconds, the door was indeed opened again.
There was no expression on Yukino's beautiful face: "I have to state this in advance, I don't want to go to school with you."
"What's the reason?"
"It's too conspicuous, especially since you're still wearing that helmet..."
"Then you can rest easy, I've already taken the day off."
"Hm?"
Yukino was stunned for a moment.
Then she saw Fushimi Makoto smile: "So you need to take the day off too."
The words "Are you crazy?" almost popped out of her mouth.
But she reacted immediately.
In that instant, Yukino's eyes stared straight at Fushimi Makoto's face, and the arms she had been using to wrap her long coat around herself loosened subconsciously, revealing... her flat chest.
If it were Nakano Ichika wearing a nightgown without any underwear, it would definitely be obvious at a glance.
But since it was Yukinoshita Yukino, well... it was completely impossible to tell.
"A time loop?"
Yukino completely ignored the neckline of her nightgown, her breathing becoming rapid.
Fushimi Makoto nodded.
Yukino clenched her small fists in excitement, then repeatedly adjusted her emotions before slowly relaxing them.
Finally, she stepped aside and said softly, "Come in first."
Fushimi Makoto took off his helmet and walked inside.
The two arrived in the bright, clean living room, and Yukino said with a complicated tone, "I thought that sentence you said to me last time was just a joke."
Fushimi Makoto asked, "Which one?"
Yukino glared at him immediately; she knew this guy was doing it on purpose.
Fushimi Makoto smiled. "Oh, I remember now. It was the one about me taking you along for the next time loop."
Yukino looked away. "Please sit for a moment; I'm going to go change my clothes."
Fushimi Makoto reminded her, "Remember to ask for leave."
Yukino's footsteps faltered.
Fushimi Makoto's voice sounded again, "Everything will reset tomorrow."
Yukino agreed this time.
Just as he said, since she had entered a time loop, there was no point in going to class properly anymore. Everything would reset anyway, so she might as well take today to ask him about a few things.
Yukino stopped suddenly at the bedroom door and looked back at that guy's face.
