As Kitahara Makoto approached, the evil spirit in the swimming pool seemed to sense danger. It had been quietly floating at the bottom of the water, but now it suddenly became agitated. The black hair covering the swimming pool began to dance wildly, looking eerie and disgusting.
"Hurry up and help me!"
Kitahara Makoto didn't care so much. He clenched his fist and prepared to destroy the evil spirit, but unfortunately, being in the water significantly reduced his strength. He failed to destroy it with one punch, but instead made the Swimming Pool Evil Spirit completely go crazy.
Seeing this scene, Kitahara Makoto gritted his teeth and pounced on it, directly locking the evil spirit with his body.
Fortunately, after a while, under the baking of the Dutiful Exorcist's physique, the evil spirit at the bottom of the water finally turned into a cloud of black gas and completely dissipated.
"It's done... cough cough!"
Kitahara Makoto breathed a sigh of relief, just about to relax when a mouthful of water suddenly choked in his throat.
His swimming skills were already very average, and now being choked by the water, he immediately panicked.
Fortunately, at this time, a figure quickly swam over from the surface of the water, grabbed Kitahara Makoto, and swam towards the surface with all its strength.
Splash!
The two rushed out of the water.
"Cough cough cough..."
Breathing in fresh air again, Kitahara Makoto finally relaxed, coughing while gratefully looking at Togawa Sakiko in front of him:
"I can't repay you enough for saving my life. I'll be at Saki-chan Tongxue's disposal from now on..."
Togawa Sakiko's pretty face was flushed, her pearly teeth tightly biting her lower lip, saying shyly:
"Y-You... take your hand away first!"
"Huh?"
Kitahara Makoto was slightly stunned, only to realize that his right hand was grabbing a soft lump. He subconsciously squeezed it, and the wonderful feeling of tenderness and elasticity immediately filled his entire palm...
"Ugh... !"
The girl's painful voice escaped her lips.
Kitahara Makoto finally realized what he had grabbed in his confusion and quickly let go of his hand:
"I really didn't mean to, Togawa-san please believe me!"
"..."
Togawa Sakiko's pretty face was as red as fire. She quickly retreated to create distance, raised her hands to cover her chest, and glared at him with shame and anger.
"... Don't say anything!"
Nearby, some gossip-loving classmates had already cast curious glances. Togawa Sakiko was so ashamed that her face was burning. She didn't want to stay for even a second longer, glared at Kitahara Makoto with shame, and turned to swim to the shore.
"Alright, now Togawa-san will hate me again..."
Kitahara Makoto sighed helplessly, but his mind couldn't help but recall the soft touch just now.
"Speaking of which... the touch in the dream and reality seems to be slightly different?"
"If there's a chance next time, should I go into the dream again to compare?"
Once you've experienced some things, it's very difficult to quit.
Having learned about the side effects of his dream-entering ability from Takamatsu Tomori in the morning, Kitahara Makoto swore at the time that he would never enter anyone's dreams again, but now, not even a day has passed, and he has already begun to waver... Having experienced Homelander's happiness, it's really hard to resist.
"But never mind."
"If my secret ever gets out, I'll surely be sentenced to death."
Kitahara Makoto shook his head, banishing the degenerate thoughts from his mind, and raised a hand to wipe the water from his face.
"I really need to practice swimming more in the future. The feeling of choking on water is just too terrible…"
"Stare—"
A shocked gaze came over.
Kitahara Makoto sensed it and looked over, only to see Togawa Sakiko had already returned to the edge of the swimming pool. At this moment, her eyes were wide, and her expression was a mix of shyness, anger, and shock as she looked at him.
"Hmm?"
Kitahara Makoto was slightly startled and looked at his right hand in confusion.
"Wait, Togawa-san, you misunderstood. I was just wiping the water from my face, I really didn't mean to indirectly use your facial cleanser!"
Unfortunately, she didn't give him a chance to explain. Togawa Sakiko bit her lower lip in embarrassment and anger, turned, and left, quickly disappearing from sight.
"…"
The swimming class quietly ended.
Kitahara Makoto packed his things, grabbed his backpack, and prepared to return to the teaching building.
Just as he walked out of the swimming pool, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of a pink figure flashing in a dark corner.
"Hitori-chan… what are you doing here?"
Kitahara Makoto walked over curiously, and Bocchi-chan, hiding in the dark corner, immediately came into view.
"Kitahara-kun…" Seeing that it was Kitahara Makoto, Bocchi-chan's little face quickly flushed crimson again. She stammered softly, "The last class this afternoon is swimming class…"
"There are too many people now… I'll wait until it's almost time for class to go in and shower…"
So that was it.
As someone with social anxiety, Bocchi-chan was naturally afraid of showering with her classmates, so she hid in the corner beforehand, planning to sneak in after everyone else had finished.
"Then wait a bit longer before going in." Kitahara Makoto was not in a hurry to return to the teaching building. "Did you eat the biscuit I gave you at noon?"
"I ate it." Gotō Hitori nodded quickly, a bright light shining in her eyes. She happily clenched her small fist. "The effect… was very good. Although I didn't understand some of what the teacher said, I remembered all of it."
Bocchi-chan's first class in the afternoon was history. Before class, Gotō Hitori obediently followed the advice, went to the restroom to eat the biscuit, and then nothing happened.
When the bell rang, Bocchi-chan returned to the classroom with a nervous heart, lowering her head and hiding in the corner as usual. But she soon surprisingly found that she could hear everything the teacher said on the podium clearly.
"So this is what it feels like for knowledge to enter my mind…"
After confirming the magical effect of the biscuit, Gotō Hitori immediately became excited.
No one wants to be at the bottom forever. If her ranking in the next exam could go up, her parents would surely be very happy, right?
"It's good that it has an effect." Kitahara Makoto said gently, "Hana-chan can make a box of magical biscuit every day. Study hard from now on, and we'll get into Todai together."
"Mhm, mhm."
Gotō Hitori nodded subconsciously upon hearing this.
Two seconds later, Bocchi-chan, who had come to her senses, quickly blushed again, nervously lowering her head to look at her toes. Unfortunately, her view was blocked by her chest, and she couldn't see her toes.
"Oh, right." Kitahara Makoto asked again, "Did anything strange happen after you ate the biscuit?"
Gotō Hitori shook her head: "Nothing happened at all…"
"That's good." Kitahara Makoto opened his schoolbag and took out the remaining biscuit. "There are three biscuits left. I'll give you two… Wait."
The final 'surprise' was among those three biscuits. Before figuring out what the surprise was, he was indeed quite curious.
If he ate all the biscuits in one go now, would he know what the so-called surprise was?
Kitahara Makoto pondered for a few seconds, finding it quite feasible. So he briefly explained his idea to Bocchi-chan, and Little Miss Anxiety naturally had no objections.
"Crunch, crunch."
Kitahara Makoto directly threw the three biscuits into his mouth and then quietly waited.
"It seems like nothing happened…"
Before he finished speaking, Kitahara Makoto suddenly felt his vision rapidly descending, as if he had accidentally entered a land of giants, watching Bocchi-chan turn into a 'giant' before his eyes.
Before he could figure out what was happening, he heard Kita's light gasp from behind him:
"…Wow, what a cute doggy!"
