Animania: Everyone Loves Me

Mutsumi originally thought Soyo would be very angry, at the very least would condemn her a couple of times.

The speed at which Soyo calmed down, however, far exceeded her expectations.

No one knew what Soyo thought of, but the expression on the face kept changing, shock, confusion, anger, guilt... many emotions that should contradict each other intertwined together, yet instead of exploding like a fuse burned to its end, they miraculously dissipated.

Only, Mutsumi did not become relaxed because of this.

Perhaps it was the sixth sense unique to girls, she always felt that Soyo's current attitude was more like the calm before a volcanic eruption.

However, even if Soyo really had other plans, that's a matter for later.

To this doll-like beautiful girl, at the moment... there's undoubtedly a more important matter.

"Onii-chan," Looking at the video call that had already been hung up, she tilted her head, her long hair soaked by water gently hanging down, like dewy green pothos, "Can you... continue helping me wipe my back?"

Since the sneak away had already been discovered, at least she couldn't give up halfway and waste all previous efforts.

Right?

[The Next Day]

Ding~ Dong~

Accompanied by the crisp end-of-class bell, Shuka's lunchtime officially arrived.

"Kaito-kun, do you want to go to the cafeteria for lunch together?", The girl with dreamlike beautiful cherry-pink long hair smiled brightly, showing two sharp and cute tiger teeth.

"Chihaya-san?", Kaito came back to his senses and gently shook his head at her.

"Why do I always feel like you look so spiritless... Are you sick?", Today still full of energy, Chihaya Anon supported her chin with both hands, somewhat worried, "If your body really feels bad, I can accompany you to the infirmary, okay?"

"No, not that kind of thing," Kaito was silent for a while before saying, "Just... I had a bit of insomnia last night, so I had to resort to some special methods to fall asleep."

"Eh?"

Anon tilted her head, 'Special methods?'

'W-Wait a second!'

'Speaking of which, I have indeed seen similar rumors on certain emotional forums. Boys in puberty at this age, during quiet nights, would use a kind of... method to quickly exhaust themselves to help with sleep...'

'C-Could it be, Kaito-kun does that kind of thing too?'

"What are you imagining?", Seeing this pink-haired baby dragon blush so abruptly again, Kaito sighed and tapped her little head.

After coming out of the bathroom last night, he changed into pajamas, returned to his bedroom, collected the moon essence for the day, and was about to rest.

Not long after, little Mutsumi followed over.

At first, the girl would find some seemingly reasonable excuses, like "afraid of thunder" or "had a nightmare." But perhaps because the number of times they slept together recently had increased, she stopped finding excuses. Every time it was bedtime, she would very naturally hug her little pillow and knock on his door.

Habit is truly a scary thing. Even Kaito subconsciously accepted this situation and didn't raise objections.

Later, Raana also became unwilling to be left out and insisted on sleeping with him too.

A single bed squeezed with three people, one can imagine how tight the space was.

Little Mutsumi was still okay; her sleeping posture had always been very well-behaved, neat and proper, never causing trouble.

But the cat-girl's sleeping posture was more... wild.

Like a koala hanging on his chest, even drooling a very suspicious transparent liquid from the corner of her mouth.

Kaito did try adjusting her sleeping posture, but usually couldn't last more than a few minutes before the silver-haired girl in deep sleep would instinctively return to her original position.

Just like a resilient spring, no matter how hard you press, it always bounces back.

With his cultivation level, he had long lost the physiological need for sleep. Even if he didn't sleep for months straight, it wouldn't be a problem.

So the reason he looked spiritless was more due to mental exhaustion from being tormented by the cat.

Especially after waking up and finding his pajamas soaked in that transparent liquid known as "drool," the silver-haired girl who had half her body collapsed onto his chest, her milky white nightdress crumpled up above her navel, exposing a segment of blindingly white slim waist, and her legs restlessly draped over his knees, like a clingy octopus.

Thankfully, people's physiques aren't all the same. If it were an ordinary person being pressed on all night like that, they might've been sore all over and even walking would be difficult.

"Ahahaha, I-I just thought of something happy...", Realizing she misunderstood something, Anon gave two awkward laughs and hurriedly changed the topic, "Let's not talk about unhappy things anymore. Kaito-kun, how about I tell you a joke?"

Kaito raised an eyebrow, "Sure, go ahead."

Anon cleared her throat and said seriously, "Once upon a time there was a big dummy, who really liked to say 'no.' No matter what others asked, she always said no. Have you heard this joke?"

'Hmph! To reestablish my tall and perfect goddess image as smart and graceful Anon-chan, I even specially did homework last night.'

'Even I was tricked the first time I saw this joke, there's no way a mere Kaito-kun could see through it...'

"You already told this joke before."

"Eh eh eh?", Anon was stunned, "No way?"

She clearly just saw this joke last night. How could she possibly have told Kaito before?

"You really told it before."

Anon furrowed her brows and thought hard for a while, "Really didn't."

"You definitely did."

Kaito shook his head, glanced at the latest message received on his phone, and stood up to leave, "If you don't believe me, think harder."

'Could it be... my memory got messed up?'

Chihaya Anon sat dumbfounded in her seat, scratched her head, "But in my memory... I really haven't told it before…"

'Chihaya-san is still too easy to deal with.'

'Really makes people worry whether she'll be tricked by frivolous bad men in the future.'

But thanks to her, Kaito's mood had indeed improved quite a bit.

On the phone screen, there was still a message from Yumiko, asking him to go to the calligraphy club room. Seemed like she had something to talk to him about.

Kaito didn't delay and arrived at the clubroom, only to find there wasn't only one person inside.

Aside from the familiar blonde girl, even Bocchi was there.

The little girl still had that cautious look, hiding in the corner pretending to be a mushroom.

Hearing movement, she just raised her head and quickly glanced at Kaito who entered, her small face blushing for some reason, then lowered her head again.

Only, Kaito found it a bit strange.

'Unlike usual, this time, the look in her eyes toward me seems to have produced some... strange change?'
