Time Loop in Anime Multiverse, I Do Whatever I Want 40

"I haven't checked it out, so it should be average. After all, not many people around me are talking about it."

"That's exactly why."

"What do you mean, 'that's why'?"

"Only the people in the Occult Research Club could have taken such a beautiful photo of you."

Yumiko was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh: "I've discovered that you really know how to talk."

She was clearly interested now. She pressed one hand onto Fushimi Makoto's desk and leaned forward. As her waist bent, her hair cascaded down, causing a pleasant, fragrant scent to drift toward Fushimi Makoto.

"When do you have club activities? I want to visit your club," she said.

Nakano Itsuki frowned as she listened from the side, thinking that for a club visit, shouldn't one use a more polite attitude?

After all, there were other people in the club; if an outsider showed up suddenly, who could guarantee it wouldn't disturb everyone's focus?

But Yumiko didn't think about those things.

She wanted to visit Fushimi Makoto's club, and since she considered him a friend, she just said it directly.

"The first club activity should be this Saturday," Fushimi Makoto replied.

"In the afternoon, right? I'll come over to hang out then. It's a deal."

"Sure."

Fushimi Makoto agreed and then brought up another topic: "By the way, how did you feel about the photos I sent you last time?"

"They were amazing! I think your photography skills are good enough to charge for; you could definitely make money with them."

Speaking of this, Yumiko's beautiful face was full of smiles.

She noticed Nakano Itsuki listening nearby, but she didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, in her eyes, she cared more about Fushimi Makoto.

Whether it was the club he founded or his photography skills, she was interested in both.

Part of this was due to curiosity, and part was the admiration a teenage girl feels for a talented peer.

And this admiration was exactly what Fushimi Makoto wanted.

"If you want to take photos in the future, you can contact me anytime."

"It's a promise!"

Girls who love beauty would never refuse beautiful photos; even Yukino liked them, let alone a popular girl like Yumiko.

At noon, Fushimi Makoto saw an interesting scene in the cafeteria: Yukino had been invited to sit with Nakano Ichika.

She hadn't even made a bento, which clearly wasn't because she had become lazy.

It was likely that the experiences in the time loop were too rich and stimulating, leaving her in no mood to prepare a meal.

Fushimi Makoto was naturally invited by Nakano Ichika as well.

While he went to get his food, Yukino looked at the Nakano Quintuplets beside her, feeling a momentary sense of daze.

She hadn't had this thought before, but with all five of them appearing together by her side, the sight was truly dazzling.

Even she, as a girl, felt they were genuinely attractive.

And so, she thought of Fushimi Makoto.

That guy probably wasn't just planning to become good friends with Ichika; the other four girls were likely his targets as well.

Thinking of this, her mood suddenly soured.

"Yukinoshita, you don't look like you're in a good state today," Nakano Ichika had been observing her.

Yukino said indifferently: "Why do you say that?"

Nakano Ichika said with a smile: "I've noticed you've been zoning out a lot today. For example, not long after you sat down just now, you were clearly thinking about something else."

So she had a sharp side, too?

Yukino felt surprised.

She had assumed Nakano Ichika was just a girl with a bit of scheming but very low-level tactics.

"Ichika, don't pry into other people's private business," Nakano Itsuki reminded her from the side.

She even specifically said to Yukino: "Sorry, Ichika is just like that sometimes; she always likes to stir up trouble."

In Nakano Itsuki's eyes, Yukino was a club member, and since they would be working together in the future, she really wanted to maintain a good relationship.

"It's fine," Yukino replied with a rare, gentle tone.

Because Fushimi Makoto had told her that Nakano Itsuki was a girl who took things seriously.

Yukino admired girls with that kind of personality.

Nakano Ichika hadn't given up on her curiosity and asked deliberately: "Yukinoshita, did you not get enough rest?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.

The mention of not getting enough rest immediately made Yukino recall "that period of time" once again.

Her legs were being treated as if they were a beloved treasure by someone, and she could even feel it...

Yukino hurriedly controlled her expression, her tone flat: "Nothing, I just remembered something."

After she finished speaking, seeing Nakano Ichika staring at her curiously, she thought of the intimate relationship between the other girl and Fushimi Makoto, and couldn't help but add: "I made a mistake recently."

Nakano Ichika smiled: "A mistake? It's only human nature; after all, everyone makes mistakes."

"You two look like you're having a fun conversation?" Fushimi Makoto arrived after getting his food.

Hearing his voice, the beautiful legs under Yukino's desk clamped together inexplicably.

Nakano Ichika instantly lost interest in Yukino.

She didn't have to go to the film set today.

So, she had a plan.

Chapter 41: Cucumber Immortal Nakano Ichika

During the afternoon physical education class, Fushimi Makoto was playing volleyball with a few classmates again.

Unlike last time, he had the intention of testing his explosive power this time.

Therefore, when he leaped high and completed a terrifying volleyball spike, the way his classmates looked at him changed.

It wasn't that they couldn't receive the ball at the speed of that spike; they were simply afraid to.

The volleyball hit the ground with a loud "thud," then bounced high into the air, flying off to who knows where.

"Fushimi, did you use a cheat code?"

Fushimi Makoto's teammates also voiced their doubts.

"I actually haven't used much strength yet." Fushimi Makoto shook his arm, feeling that he possessed even greater power.

"You call that not using much strength?"

The few classmates clearly didn't believe him.

Fortunately, the internet is well-developed nowadays, and everyone had long since seen the terrifying explosive power of professional volleyball players online, so they weren't scared away from playing volleyball by Fushimi Makoto.

Everyone unanimously agreed that Fushimi Makoto must have held back his strength last time.

Other students nearby also saw that scene.

For example, Hayato Hayama.

He looked at the direction the volleyball bounced off toward with a stunned expression, muttering to himself: "If the club president finds out about this, he'll probably try his hardest to recruit Fushimi into the soccer club."

What Fushimi Makoto displayed just now wasn't just explosive power.

Agility, speed—he could see all of it clearly.

Watching Fushimi Makoto laughing and chatting with his classmates, he couldn't help but recall the words the other had said last time: "I feel like I'm very busy every day, but I don't know what I'm busy with."

He remembered this sentence deeply because he thought of his own current situation.

Actually, there were quite a few people paying attention on the girls' side as well.

There were only two handsome guys in the class; Hayato Hayama was chatting with friends, which wasn't really worth watching, so it was better to appreciate Fushimi Makoto's athletic ability.

Yumiko stood among several friends, arms crossed, nodding repeatedly with an appreciative look in her eyes.

The more outstanding Fushimi Makoto performed, and the more the female students paid attention to him, the happier she became.

After all, in the entire class, besides Nakano Itsuki, she had the best relationship with Fushimi Makoto.

Of course, that was her own assessment.

"Yumiko, do you think Fushimi will join the volleyball club? That spike of his just now was really exaggerated," a friend beside her asked.

Yumiko said confidently: "Absolutely impossible. He has his own club; a person's energy is limited."

There was one more thing she didn't say out loud: If Makoto was too busy, how would he take photos for her in the future?

She had already made up her mind to turn Fushimi Makoto into her personal photographer.

Only in this way could she continue to get a steady stream of beautiful photos.

Their relationship could also be maintained indefinitely.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a bit lucky; it was fortunate that she had taken the initiative to chat with Makoto a few times back then, otherwise, she would have missed out on such an impressive friend.

One had to know that at the very beginning, she had only paid a little attention to Fushimi Makoto because he was good-looking.

Later, Hayato Hayama showed great interest in Fushimi Makoto, mentioning him every other day, to the point where she couldn't help but say: "Are you secretly in love with Fushimi?"

With her friends around her paying attention to Fushimi Makoto, she was naturally influenced as well.

Recalling the time Fushimi Makoto said she had a real knack for candid shots, she couldn't help but smile.

Yumiko immediately scanned her surroundings and quickly found Nakano Itsuki, who was chatting with classmates.

Everyone had changed their clothes for P.E. class; a beautiful girl like her, with golden hair and long legs, should have been the most eye-catching girl in the entire venue.

Yet, after Nakano Itsuki changed her clothes, her chest advantage became even more obvious.

Yumiko truly couldn't understand what the five girls of the Nakano Family grew up eating; how could they have such full chests while also possessing looks that made other girls jealous?

Looking closer, damn it, Nakano Itsuki's hip line was actually this good too!

She thought of the rumor she heard at noon: the five sisters, Fushimi Makoto, and Yukino had eaten lunch together.

The other party was a friend of Fushimi Makoto, looked good, and was low-key, so she decided to try and get on good terms with Nakano Itsuki.

Once Yumiko had an idea, she walked over immediately.

"Miura-san?" Nakano Itsuki also noticed her.

Yumiko arrived in front of her and asked with her usual smile, "Itsuki-san, do you want to go hang out after school?"

"Eh? Me?" Nakano Itsuki pointed at her own face in surprise.

"That's right, I feel like we could be friends." Yumiko was as confident as ever.

Compared to that Nakano Nino, she liked the one in front of her much more.

"Although I'm very grateful for the invitation, I have things to do today," Nakano Itsuki said apologetically.

"Did you make plans with a friend?"

"I made plans with Ichika to go find Fushimi, but as for what exactly we're doing, it's not convenient to go into detail."

Go find Makoto?

Yumiko's expression turned suspicious.

There were many ways to interpret that sentence.

It could mean everyone agreed to go shopping, or it could mean going directly to a boy's house as a guest.

Could it be the latter?

If so, wasn't their relationship a bit too close?

Yumiko hesitated for a moment, deciding to test the waters after school.
