Time Loop in Anime Multiverse, I Do Whatever I Want 47

"..."

As Nakano Ichika successfully stood up, Fushimi Makoto turned around to tidy up the bedsheets.

It was at this moment that he heard a rustling sound coming from behind him.

At first, he didn't pay much attention, assuming Nakano Ichika was just adjusting her clothes.

But when he finished smoothing the sheets and turned around, he saw the young girl staring at him with a flushed face, suddenly reaching out her hand.

Her voice sounded somewhat seductive at this moment: "I can't wear this anymore."

Fushimi Makoto glanced at the fabric in her hand and fell into deep thought: "Are you, uh, planning to give this to me as a collectible?"

Nakano Ichika's eyelashes fluttered with embarrassment: "Do whatever you want with it, just don't continue this topic!"

Even if she didn't consider herself a girl with "high attack but low defense," how could she dare to keep chatting about such a shame-inducing topic?

Fushimi Makoto reached out and took it, not feeling awkward in the slightest.

After all, there was someone right in front of him who was far more embarrassed than he was.

However, he still made a point to clarify: "I admit that my hobby of playing with legs is a bit perverted, but I really don't have a fetish for collecting things like this."

Nakano Ichika seemed to have seized an opportunity and smiled cunningly: "So you finally admit you're a pervert?"

Fushimi Makoto paused, then chuckled.

Because she was too embarrassed, she was trying to find an excuse to deflect her own inner shame.

It just so happened that her reaction was quick enough to grasp the opening immediately.

Fushimi Makoto couldn't help but laugh: "Some people, despite having such a low health bar, refuse to admit it and just try to shift the blame."

"I don't know what you're talking about~"

Nakano Ichika turned around with a beaming smile, not letting him catch her expression.

At this, Fushimi Makoto asked: "Are you planning to go back like this today?"

Nakano Ichika understood what he meant, turned her head back, and said with a hint of shyness: "My skirt is quite long, don't worry, I won't have a wardrobe malfunction."

Fushimi Makoto took a pair of short athletic shorts out of the closet: "This will be safer."

Nakano Ichika was stunned for a moment, then took the shorts with a wry smile: "Then I'll wash them and return them to you later."

Fushimi Makoto patted the pocket where he had stashed the fabric: "I'll wash that for you, too."

Nakano Ichika gave him a reproachful glare: "Turn around first, I need to put on the shorts."

Fushimi Makoto thought to himself that it wasn't as if he hadn't seen it already.

But he turned around anyway.

He was actually feeling quite stifled himself.

However, he did gain something from this.

Because he discovered that Nakano Ichika, just like Matsukaze Mayu, belonged to one of the Four Divine Beasts...

So he remembered a particularly outrageous joke from the internet: I'm not a pervert, I just feel that only the spawn point can give me a sense of security.

This time, Nakano Ichika didn't linger any longer; she changed into Fushimi Makoto's athletic shorts, fixed her hair and expression in the mirror, and returned to the living room.

The four of them chatted briefly in the living room before the three beautiful girls said their goodbyes and headed home.

Nakano Itsuki was quite diligent; she took the initiative to borrow a study plan from Fushimi Makoto, intending to continue reading it when she got home.

On the way home, Nakano Ichika acted very composed, showing no flaws at all.

Therefore, Nakano Nino didn't suspect a thing; she just chatted casually with Ichika about the club.

"I remember Itsuki saying there's another member in this club, right?" Nakano Nino asked.

"Yeah, she's Yukinoshita Yukino," Nakano Ichika nodded.

"Then why didn't Fushimi call her over today?"

"I asked him, and he said that given Yukinoshita's current overall strength, she doesn't need extra tutoring at all."

"Tsk, is this the weight of being second in the grade?"

When the three returned home, Nakano Nino was about to change her shoes, and Ichika, who was standing in front of her, happened to bend over to put on her slippers.

It was precisely this bending motion that allowed her to see Ichika's skirt being pulled up.

Naturally, she saw the athletic shorts underneath Ichika's skirt.

Nakano Nino immediately had a giant question mark pop up in her mind.

Because Nakano Ichika had let her guard down upon arriving home, she was unaware of this, only thinking about taking a shower as soon as possible.

"Nino, what's wrong?"

Nakano Itsuki finished changing her shoes and couldn't help but feel confused seeing Nino standing there in a daze.

Nakano Nino pointed her finger blankly in the direction Ichika had left: "Safety shorts."

Nakano Itsuki was even more confused: "What's wrong with safety shorts? Don't all girls wear them? Even I bought several pairs."

Nakano Nino shook her head vigorously: "No, that's not what I meant. I meant she was wearing men's athletic shorts!"

Nakano Itsuki: "???"

Chapter 48 Nakano Ichika: Nino is no longer safe

The Nakano Family bathroom.

Nakano Ichika had just walked in with her clothes and hadn't even had time to close the door when Nino appeared in the doorway.

"Nino? Are you... here to take a bath too?"

Nakano Ichika looked at the clothes in her sister's hands and immediately felt a twinge of guilt.

She was still wearing Fushimi Makoto's athletic shorts under her skirt.

"It's been a long time since we took a bath together." Nakano Nino walked in and shut the door behind her, clearly having no intention of leaving.

Oh no!

Nakano Ichika hurriedly racked her brain, trying to find a way out.

However, a single sentence from Nakano Nino left her completely stunned: "Don't bother trying to fool me. I already saw it when we were changing shoes earlier."

A flicker of unease flashed through Nakano Ichika's eyes: "What did you see?"

Nakano Nino asked with annoyance: "Are you still trying to play dumb at this point? Ichika, do you really want me to say it out loud?"

The moment the words left her lips, she reached out, grabbed the hem of Ichika's skirt, and lifted it up.

Those dark blue athletic shorts immediately came into view.

Nakano Ichika had completely lost the chance to lie.

But Nakano Nino's tactics didn't end there.

She pulled out her phone, flipped to a screenshot of the post Ichika had made on her alt account, held the screen in front of Ichika's face, and cleared her throat: "May I ask, is the owner of this account Nakano Ichika from Toyosaki School?"

Nakano Ichika: Holy crap, I've been doxxed.

Nakano Nino was thoroughly satisfied.

She crossed her arms over her chest, striking an interrogator's pose: "Start talking."

Nakano Ichika knew she couldn't bluff her way out of this. Her mind raced, and she put on an awkward expression: "Well, actually, I didn't have a choice."

"No choice?" Nakano Nino frowned.

"Yeah, because Makoto's massage technique is so comfortable that it caused my underwear to..."

Nakano Ichika deliberately left the sentence hanging, looking at Nino with a shy and embarrassed expression before lowering her head with practiced grace.

Everything was done with perfect fluidity.

It wasn't just because of her acting skills; it was also because she was "playing herself."

After all, that experience from earlier was, for a teenage girl, ultimately quite embarrassing.

Even if she considered herself mature enough.

As her perfect performance concluded, Nakano Nino found herself blushing as well.

"So you also..."

Nakano Nino stammered, unable to bring herself to finish the sentence.

What does she mean by "also"?

Nakano Ichika froze, then quickly realized what was going on.

Wait a minute, was my wild speculation from earlier actually true?

Did Nino really get so worked up during her massage?

Does that mean she's been wearing wet...

Nakano Ichika felt a sense of profound respect.

She knew that even after she had specifically wiped herself off when she climbed out of bed, she still felt uncomfortable.

Who would have thought that her own sister could endure that uncomfortable feeling for so long!

Nino is a tough one.

Nakano Ichika thought to herself.

"Alright, alright, let's go take a bath first."

Nakano Nino was feeling incredibly flustered now.

Terrified that Ichika might continue the previous topic, she turned around, face flushed, to take off her clothes.

Nakano Ichika chuckled to herself, thinking she had cleared the hurdle.

The two sisters sat into the spacious bathtub one after the other, both unable to help but let out satisfied hums.

Nakano Nino gazed at Ichika's face, blurred by the steam, and asked curiously: "Did you specifically ask Fushimi to borrow a pair of shorts?"

Nakano Ichika went with the flow: "Yeah, I'm not as tough as you. I couldn't have held out until now like you did."

"Shut up!"

Nakano Nino was overcome with shame and anger.

The situation was already embarrassing enough as it was, and now that Nakano Ichika was rubbing it in her face, how could she possibly handle it?

Nakano Ichika stared at her sister's blushing face and suddenly asked, "Nino, what do you think of Makoto?"

Nakano Nino was stunned. "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

"Just curious, you can say whatever comes to mind."

"Tch, I have a feeling you're up to something again."

Nakano Nino rolled her eyes at her sister.

But she didn't think too much about it, looking up at the steam-filled ceiling as she said, "He's pretty impressive."

"For example?"

"Don't you already know? Whether it's his cooking or how seriously he takes things, he's quite impressive. Oh right, his massage skills are also top-notch; I suspect he's been learning that since he was a kid."

Listening to Nino's answer, Ichika quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Her sister's words were just the typical admiration one might feel for someone capable.

Looking at it this way, Nino was still safe for now.

Nakano Ichika thought to herself, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Nino say with a smile, "By the way, I've decided to spend more time with him from now on."

What are you planning!

Nakano Ichika's internal alarm bells went off, but she asked calmly, "What's the reason?"

Nakano Nino smiled lightheartedly. "I think he's a pretty good guy, and since his cooking skills are so high, we should have plenty to talk about."

No!
