"Ah, it's finally over."
"That slime Boss was so hard to beat."
"Good luck, successfully obtained the Priest's healing skill..."
There's no need to elaborate on what happened in the game space. The monsters inside had no intelligence, and every monster-beating process was exactly the same. Kitahara Makoto, with his three clumsy teammates, was once again defeated by the Boss.
Opening his eyes with a weary heart, Kitahara Makoto had just exhaled when Tomori's nervous voice rang in his ears:
"E-everyone's exposed, quickly cover yourselves."
"Huh?"
Kitahara Makoto instantly felt less weary, quickly looked up, with only one lyric echoing in his mind.
[Little rabbit, white and white...]
Whether in the real world or the Otherworld, entering the game space only took one minute.
Before entering the game, the girls had always covered their bodies with their arms.
It hadn't been an issue before, but once their souls entered the game space, their bodies in reality would enter a comatose state. In this situation, their hands would naturally fall.
"Eh? Eh? Eh?"
"Kitahara-kun, quickly close your eyes!"
"Don't peek!"
"..."
Waking up, the three girls immediately cried out in shame.
Scientific research proves that the male brain actually only thinks about two things: one is violence, and the other is...
Just now, beating slime in the game space satisfied his violent nature, and now opening his eyes to see a rare sight satisfied his other nature...
"Oh no!"
Kitahara Makoto's expression changed slightly, and he quickly took a deep breath to divert his attention.
Unfortunately, his body's instincts were completely beyond his control, directly entering combat mode.
At the same time.
A cold gust of wind happened to blow by, directly blowing away the towel Kitahara Makoto had draped over himself.
The four girls looked over in unison, their eyes widening.
"A-Anacondas..."
Takamatsu Tomori instinctively exclaimed in surprise, stumbling back half a step, clearly startled.
"Kitahara-kun, quickly put your clothes on!"
Togawa Sakiko snapped back to reality, her pretty face quickly flushing, and she swiftly turned her head to look elsewhere.
Kitahara Makoto said awkwardly:
"The towel was blown away by the wind."
"You quickly turn around!" Nagasaki Soyo's pretty face was crimson. "I'll go pick up your towel!"
Chihaya Anon's heart raced, her face flushed, and she became even more convinced of her idea:
"Kitahara-kun is indeed a demon!"
"Such a terrifying Anaconda... it'll go straight to the stomach, won't it!"
"..."
"Tomori, I'll help you heal first."
Togawa Sakiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief, squatting in front of Takamatsu Tomori, having just inherited the Priest's ability.
As white light shone down, the scrape on Takamatsu Tomori's foot quickly healed as good as new.
"Thank you, Sakiko." Takamatsu Tomori thanked her softly. "It doesn't hurt at all anymore."
"You're welcome." Togawa Sakiko lightly bit her lower lip, her tone remorseful, "If it weren't for me, everyone wouldn't have encountered danger."
"It's not Sakiko's fault at all." Nagasaki Soyo quickly said upon hearing this, "We ourselves chose to come help, and no one could have predicted the accident. If anyone is to blame, it's definitely me. If I hadn't attracted the evil spirit, none of the subsequent events would have happened."
Togawa Sakiko tightened her pretty face:
"Soyo is still the same as before, always likes to take all the responsibility upon herself..."
The Gravity Radar quietly sounded an alarm.
Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, covering his body with the towel, and forcefully entered the Gravity Minefield, saying with conviction:
"Stop talking, the one who should apologize is me."
He hadn't dared to face the Gravity Minefield before, but now... Kitahara Makoto stated that it was absolutely no problem.
He had already passed the self-destructing harem level, so why fear a mere Gravity Field?
"Eh?"
Nagasaki Soyo looked at him in surprise.
Why was Kitahara-kun joining in?
"It's all my fault." Kitahara Makoto said seriously, "Since I chose to have a harem, then all your sins should be borne by me."
Togawa Sakiko: "..."
Nagasaki Soyo: "..."
"By the way, have you noticed that the environment is a bit off?"
Kitahara Makoto took the opportunity to change the subject.
"Eh?" Chihaya Anon looked around in confusion, "It doesn't seem like anything has changed, has it?"
"Is it the wind?"
Takamatsu Tomori, however, was exceptionally meticulous and said hesitantly, "The wind seems to have picked up."
Upon being reminded, the girls finally realized that the wind had indeed grown stronger imperceptibly; not only were the waves higher, but their hair also began to get disheveled.
"I remember clearly that when we first came ashore, there was only a slight breeze," Kitahara Makoto said with a serious tone. "Now, not only has the wind grown stronger, but the temperature also seems to be dropping."
Togawa Sakiko pursed her pink lips: "Kitahara-kun means the weather is changing?"
"But the sky hasn't changed at all."
Chihaya Anon looked up at the sky. The painting-like sky showed no change, making it impossible to distinguish between day and dusk.
"The Otherworld is different from the real world; the sky always looks the same," Kitahara Makoto said with a serious expression. "Although I'm not sure what the wind means, to be safe, it's better to leave early."
"The problem is we can't go anywhere, can we?" Chihaya Anon looked around. "Besides cliffs and reefs, you can't even see a blade of grass."
The steep cliffs blocked their way, and beneath their feet were only large and small reefs. Once the wind and rain started, there would be no place to hide.
Nagasaki Soyo suggested, "What if we jump into the sea and swim to one side?"
"It's not safe." Togawa Sakiko gently shook her head. "The wind and waves are getting stronger; it would be dangerous if we hit a reef."
"Leave it to me." Kitahara Makoto stepped forward again. "I have a way."
Takamatsu Tomori suddenly looked up at the sky with her small face:
"It's snowing."
"Eh?"
The girls looked up at the sound, and sure enough, they saw tiny snowflakes falling from the sky.
Chihaya Anon exclaimed, "It's really snowing!"
"No wonder it feels colder and colder." Nagasaki Soyo hugged herself. "It's so strange that it just started snowing like this."
Kitahara Makoto exhaled lightly and walked to the edge of the cliff:
"It seems we need to hurry."
Although the bathrobes had been wrung out for the most part, they were still very damp and couldn't be worn. If the wind and snow grew stronger, all four girls, except Kitahara Makoto, would definitely catch a cold.
"Kitahara-kun, are you going to climb the cliff?"
Togawa Sakiko was slightly startled, then quickly guessed what Kitahara Makoto wanted to do.
"That's right." Kitahara Makoto nodded. "Staying here is definitely not an option. I'm going to see what's behind the cliff."
The cliff was about ten meters high. Although it was almost vertical, its surface was not smooth but had many bumps and cracks. While an ordinary person couldn't climb it, Kitahara Makoto was very confident in himself.
Togawa Sakiko furrowed her delicate brows:
"That's too dangerous."
"But we definitely can't stay here and wait for death; someone has to step up." Kitahara Makoto exhaled lightly, his voice gentle. "Don't worry, I definitely won't be in trouble until Togawa joins my harem."
