Time Loop in Anime Multiverse, I Do Whatever I Want

Nakano Nino relaxed significantly.

"Then I'm starting," Fushimi Makoto said.

Nakano Nino spoke up quickly: "Sure, but I think just getting a massage is a bit boring, so why don't you chat with me?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

Nakano Nino pretended to be casual: "Anything is fine... oh, right, I've actually been wanting to talk about those things. After all, you're the only male friend I have, and I'd be happy to share what I've seen and heard elsewhere with you."

After saying this, she praised herself internally for being a genius; she had found an entry point so quickly.

Fushimi Makoto, however, was thinking: No wonder she hasn't blown her cover yet; it turns out she's trying to fish for information.

He immediately smiled and said: "That works. I'm actually curious about how you've been getting along with the elders in that place. If you have any worries or run into any troublesome matters, try to say it sooner rather than later. Don't bottle it up inside."

Elders?

Where does Ichika go after school usually?

Nakano Nino fell into deep thought.

But the next moment, she was unable to think normally at all.

Because Fushimi Makoto had started.

He was giving her a proper, professional massage.

Fushimi Makoto had studied massage during his time loops and had long since trained this skill to a professional level.

As he earnestly massaged Nakano Nino's back, even through her clothes, the girl felt as if she could sense his warm palms.

Most importantly, the massage, with its perfectly applied pressure, made Nakano Nino feel incredibly comfortable.

It felt so good that she couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she even felt the urge to let out a soft hum.

"How's the pressure?" Fushimi Makoto asked specifically.

"It's, it's very comfortable."

Nakano Nino closed her eyes unconsciously, her entire body and mind relaxing.

The fatigue accumulated from her daily life and school was released in this very moment.

Her tense muscles loosened, and that dreamy, tingling sensation spread throughout her entire body in an instant, then continued to amplify, causing her legs to press together instinctively and her eyelashes to flutter gently as waves of pleasure and comfort flooded her brain.

In the end, she couldn't hold it back; her lips parted slightly, and she let out a hum like a lazy cat.

So comfortable.

Is this what Ichika gets to enjoy all the time?

No, wait, judging by his tone earlier, Ichika probably hadn't experienced this before either.

So am I the first one to be this comfortable?

The girl lay on the bed, feeling blissful, thinking that she, Nakano Nino, was finally getting the good treatment.

As for the investigation or whatever, she had long since forgotten about it.

And as Fushimi Makoto listened to her pleasant hums, he knew in his heart that it was time to start the hunt.

So, using a gentle tone, he called out: "Nino."

"What is it... hm? Hm!"

Nakano Nino opened her eyes wide and turned her head.

She almost thought she had misheard.

Fushimi Makoto maintained his gentle demeanor: "My guess was right after all. You are Nino, not Ichika."

Nakano Nino was stunned.

Her fair, delicate face quickly turned bright red.

Shame, embarrassment, and the unease of being exposed to her face made her want to run away instinctively.

But Fushimi Makoto had anticipated this, reaching out to press down on her back: "Don't feel embarrassed. I could guess it because this must have been a prank suggested by Ichika, right?"

"Right, it was Ichika!"

Nakano Nino nodded instinctively.

In that instant, she thought: Since he already knows, I might as well sell Ichika out so I don't have to keep feeling awkward.

Fushimi Makoto continued: "I thought so. Ichika has mentioned you to me before. She said you're the one who worries the most at home and is always looking out for everyone; you're their most reliable backbone."

Nakano Nino stopped struggling to get up. She lay back down with a flushed face, her mouth curling into a smile she couldn't suppress, though she spoke with a haughty tone: "At least she knows my worth. Honestly, she pulls plenty of pranks on me at home."

Fushimi Makoto smiled: "Looking at it that way, the reason your muscles were so tense must be because of all the worry and hard work you put in for everyone on a daily basis."

"Is that so?"

Nakano Nino thought about it and felt it made sense.

"So, just stay still for now and relax. I'm not bragging, but my technique is quite professional."

"I can already tell; you're really good at this."

Nakano Nino closed her eyes in satisfaction.

He was right; she worked so hard for everyone, cooking and handling all the chores, so what was wrong with her enjoying herself for once?

Seeing the timing was right, Fushimi Makoto unleashed his ultimate move: "If we go out in a bit and you pretend you haven't been exposed, how do you think Ichika will react?"

Nakano Nino's eyes lit up: "She'll definitely be dying of curiosity, but since she's still pretending to be me, she won't be able to ask directly."

He was really good at talking; no wonder Ichika was on such good terms with him.

The scales in the young girl's heart began to tip.

She straightened up slightly, turned her head, and said with a beaming smile: "Are you going to help me prank Ichika?"

"If you're willing, I can cooperate," Fushimi Makoto said.

Then, his tone shifted: "Now, it's time for the leg massage."

Nakano Nino was startled and asked with a bit of bashfulness: "Do we really need a leg massage too?"

She wasn't wearing stockings; if his hands touched her legs directly, would she get some kind of strange feeling?

Fushimi Makoto remained patient: "It's fine if you don't want to."

Hearing him say that, Nakano Nino hesitated for a moment, but decided to enjoy it anyway.

Besides, he didn't have any bad intentions, and his massages were so comfortable!

It was the kind that was truly, genuinely comfortable.

A trustworthy boy really felt completely different from her female friends.

Ichika couldn't be allowed to hog Fushimi Makoto all to herself.

Harboring her own little thoughts, Nakano Nino lay back down and said adorably: "Although I don't feel like I really need a massage, since you're so professional, I'll leave it to you."

It was at this very moment that the system's task interface appeared.

[Host has triggered a new task: Nakano Nino has developed trust in you and likes you as a friend, but as an old soul, it is very difficult for the host to become friends with a beautiful girl. Therefore, please tell her father in front of both of them: You can rest assured and entrust Nakano Nino to me.]

[Note: This task is only considered complete upon receiving Nakano Maruo's verbal consent.]

[Task Reward: Nakano Nino's Gift.]

Sure enough, after the beginner tasks, all subsequent tasks had increased in difficulty.

Moreover, to trigger follow-up tasks after the beginner phase, the target needed to be particularly concerned about the host or have developed an intense interest.

This meant that, perhaps even without Nakano Nino realizing it herself, she was already thinking about "jumping the gun."

Fushimi Makoto recalled his previous meeting with Nakano Maruo and roughly knew what he had to do.

At the same time, his hands landed on Nakano Nino's beautiful legs, and the girl's body immediately tensed up.

"Please relax," he reminded her.

Nakano Nino gave a soft "mm."

So shameful, but so comfortable.

And a little ticklish, too.

Chapter 44: Nino is the MVP, Ichika is a carried player

After a full professional routine, Fushimi Makoto had thoroughly massaged Nakano Nino into a state of comfort.

From her shoulders to her back, and finally to the girl's beautiful legs, Fushimi Makoto eventually took off her socks, and she agreed half-heartedly.

It was during this foot massage that Nakano Nino fell into a state of mixed comfort and shame.

TL;DR: It felt great, but it felt a bit too great.

By the time Fushimi Makoto stood up, Nakano Nino was still lying on the bed, her expression incredibly bashful.

She couldn't help it; inside her skirt, there was a little bit of... dampness.

Hold it in, control your expression!

He absolutely must not find out.

Nakano Nino kept telling herself.

"Nino, I'm getting ready to head out," Fushimi Makoto said at this moment.

Nakano Nino immediately opened her eyes, tilted her head, and asked while enduring the shame: "What do I need to do next?"

She still remembered the plan to prank Ichika.

Today was supposed to be her and Ichika teaming up to prank Fushimi Makoto, but now that he had seen through it, she couldn't continue.

Fortunately, she was very interested in Fushimi Makoto's proposal.

"You don't need to do anything, just lie here. Remember, if you want the prank to work, you must stay calm," Fushimi Makoto said, having prepared in advance.

Nakano Nino asked skeptically: "Stay calm? I understand, but am I really just supposed to lie here?"

Fushimi Makoto lowered his voice: "You just need to lie there, and Ichika will lose her cool all on her own."

"?"

Nakano Nino didn't understand the meaning of those words at first.

By the time Fushimi Makoto opened the door and stepped out, she heard Nakano Ichika's voice, feigning composure: "Are you two done with the tour?"

Then came Fushimi Makoto: "Done."

"Then what about her? Why hasn't she come out yet?"

"She's lying inside... hey, where are you running off to?"

Accompanied by Fushimi Makoto's feigned tone of surprise, Nakano Nino heard a flurry of hurried footsteps.

The next second, Nakano Ichika arrived at the bedroom door.

When she saw Nino lying on her side on the bed, she was completely dumbfounded.

For a moment, it felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Nakano Nino looked at her expression and couldn't hold it back, bursting into laughter: "Pfft, hahaha, what kind of expression is that?"

Just as Fushimi Makoto had said earlier, Nakano Ichika turned bright red on the spot.

But before she could even open her mouth, Nakano Itsuki's voice came from behind her: "Why are you just standing at the door instead of going in? What's wrong with Nino?"

Nakano Itsuki crowded over as well, and when she saw Nino lying on the bed, she also froze for a moment.

Nakano Nino remembered what Fushimi Makoto said about staying calm.

She sat up unhurriedly and let out a yawn: "What's wrong with both of you?"

Nakano Itsuki was extremely shocked: "Why are you on Fushimi's bed?"

When Nakano Ichika heard the word "bed," her entire beautiful face collapsed.

Nakano Nino said slowly: "He said my muscles were tight from recent exhaustion, so he gave me a little massage."
