I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

She truly felt valued and cared for.

Then, to Shinji Kitahara's astonishment, Ali Digital's mood returned to its morning state in a very short time, and it even seemed to be in a better mood.

Seeing her like that just now, Shinji Kitahara thought she would be awkward for a while longer, and he had prepared several backup plans.

But to my surprise, she returned to normal in just a few words.

Although he had some doubts, after thinking about it, Shinji Kitahara finally attributed it to the fickle nature of children.

He also sighed, thinking to himself that Aili Digital was indeed a good child. Even when it was being difficult, it was so well-behaved and easy to coax. It was so worry-free that he felt a little sorry for it.

After Alice's digital status recovered, the afternoon's activities continued.

The only difference was that in the morning, Aili Digital had spent half the day playing with them.

So in the afternoon, Shinji Kitahara and Eclipse discussed the matter and decided to focus on playing with Alice's favorite digital products.

This time, however, Aili Digital did not resist the proposal as it had in the morning.

As for the reason, it could be due to habit, a desire to be cared for, or perhaps the previous conversation had resolved some of her inner conflicts.

But in any case, this time, she did not resist their kindness.

While visiting various places she liked, she also tried her best to take care of the other two's travel experience, and along the way, she also shared some stories about Kitahara Shinji's past that she could learn about.

Then, in this pleasant atmosphere, time slowly passed, and the sky gradually darkened.

A certain emotion was swelling within Alice Digital more and more clearly, so much so that the barrier formed by the potion was beginning to crumble.

Fortunately, we had the experience from last time, even though our emotions had become a bit excessive.

But through her own efforts, she managed to barely maintain the crumbling barrier.

She wanted to enjoy this rare moment of beauty a little longer, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Kitahara-senpai and Eclipse-san.

As for what will happen after she gets back, she plans to lie down in the infirmary and unleash her emotions, so that whether she bleeds or faints, she won't cause too much trouble for others.

Just as she was thinking this, Shinji Kitahara suddenly spoke up, saying that he had another place he wanted to go.

Alice Digital looked at the increasingly dark sky and was a little puzzled. After all, according to Kitahara Shinji's usual habits, they should have been back at the academy by now.

Despite their doubts, Aili Digital didn't question it and obediently followed Shinji Kitahara to the place he mentioned.

It was a mirror maze.

It's the kind of place where many mirrors are placed together for guests to go in and enjoy.

Does Kitahara-senpai like this?

Aili Digital was a little curious, so they followed Shinji Kitahara inside.

Although it's called a mirror maze, this place actually has nothing to do with a maze.

It's a space made up of many mirrors, reflecting people's images everywhere, which does have a strange and interesting feel.

Then, just as Alice Digital was curiously examining the reflections of the three people in the surrounding mirrors...

With a 'click', all the lights in the entire mirror maze suddenly went out.

Aili Digital was taken aback for a moment.

power cut?

Just as she was thinking this, a light appeared, accompanied by a crisp snap of fingers.

It wasn't a bright light, but rather a faint glow, similar to that of a light stick.

Blue, pink, yellow...

One glow stick after another lit up around her, and then began to sway little by little.

If it were just a few glow sticks, she probably wouldn't care much about the shaking.

But the problem is, this is a mirror maze.

After the faint glow appeared, one after another, reflections appeared around her, and by the time she came to her senses...

She seemed to be standing in the center of a stage, with countless people cheering her on.

Then, after the light sticks were waved...

New ethereal specks of light appeared, drifting around her and gradually forming her name.

After being reflected in the mirror above, it was as if the entire sky was filled with her name.

Finally, with the lighting and swaying of several beams of light, the mirror maze completely transformed into an illusory stage.

Alice Digital stood in the center of the stage, where she was the only one, staring blankly at the scene before her, unable to distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and turned to look behind her.

Then, she saw Shinji Kitahara waving his three fingers, each emitting a different glow, back and forth. On his other hand, golden light appeared, gradually changing and combining to form her name.

Beside him, Eclipse held a flashlight and swung it around, forming the pillars of light around the stage.

Upon seeing her looking over, Shinji Kitahara slowly stopped what he was doing, his expression gradually becoming awkward.

"Um, digital, I know this thing might look a bit silly, but you've helped me so much before, and you spent the whole day with us today. I just happened to have practiced this recently, so I wanted to show it to you. If you think it's awkward, I won't do it again..."

Accompanied by a familiar, warm, and soft touch.

The conversation in the darkness abruptly ended.

Chapter 153: You're kidding me!

The barrier shattered.

Originally, during the whole day of playing and with the occurrence of various events, Alice Digital's emotions had already swelled to a terrible level, and the barrier was already on the verge of collapse.

Just now, the dreamlike scene had already given her quite a shock.

Then, after discovering the source of that dreamlike vision.

Beyond the shock and surprise, certain emotions within her exploded like bombs, instantly shattering the crumbling barrier.

Excitement? Surprise? Happiness?

Aili Digital didn't know how to describe the feelings she was experiencing at that moment.

The barrier collapsed instantly, and a massive amount of emotions, no longer obstructed, flooded into her mind in a flash.

Logically speaking, based on her past behavior, after these emotions flooded her mind...

Even if she didn't suffer a physical bloodbath, she should at least have fainted from excitement.

Strangely, she showed no signs of fainting, nor was there any bloodshed.

My emotions were churning, and my old habits weren't working.

So, instinctively, she took a step forward, walked towards that person, hugged him, and then expressed her feelings in the most primal way.

What is she doing?

she does not know.

What will happen next?

She doesn't know either.

All she knew was that, at this point, only this action could express her feelings for him and temporarily soothe the surging emotions within her.

The intimacy continued in the darkness.

As for the lighting, the Eclipse turned off its flashlights as soon as it began to embrace the sun, and it has not turned them back on since.

He simply stood quietly in the darkness, listening to the tender sounds emanating from his ear, without making a single sound.

Then, because people's perception of time is less acute in the dark.

Shinji Kitahara couldn't say for sure how long this passionate encounter lasted, but it seemed to have been longer than the one with Oguri Hat.

Even after their passionate encounter ended, the arms that had been embracing him did not let go.

After a brief pause, he felt a warm, soft touch on his neck again, accompanied by a slight, ticklish biting sensation that caused no pain but rather a feeling of itch.

However, although the biting sensation was not strong, it kept moving, from left to right, from top to bottom, and even climbed up to his ear at one point, as if it wanted to mark his whole body.

After an unknown amount of time, the biting finally stopped, but the little hands still held on tightly, and he felt something buried in his chest.

There was no bleeding, and no fainting.

Because of those overstimulated behaviors, they have now all transformed into attachment to their predecessors.

This is not just the effect of a single dose of medicine, but the result of long-term efforts.

After the last drug incident, Aili Digital had already realized this.

Even if she doesn't want to be the female lead, if she wants to continue getting along with her seniors, she definitely can't keep maintaining that state of constant bloodshed or fainting.

Even if her seniors are willing to tolerate and take care of her, she herself cannot accept causing trouble for them because of her own reasons.

So a long time ago, she began to try various ways to restrain herself and constantly look for ways to reduce the probability of an accident when she came into contact with Kitahara-senpai.

At first, her attempts failed many times.

Not only did she faint, but she also smeared blood on Kitahara-senpai several times, causing a lot of trouble and even making her consider giving up at one point.

But later, it was Shinji Kitahara's tolerance and encouragement that made her choose to persevere. In the process of slowly adapting, she gradually figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

This time, it was partly due to past training and partly due to the effects of drug residue.

With a tiny bit of 'assistance' from an unknown entity, she successfully suppressed her instincts and expressed them in another way.

After she finished expressing herself and calmed down, although her face was still flushed, she did not let go of his hand and silently buried her head in his chest.

silence.

Then, with a sigh, something embraced her and gently patted her back.

At the same time, I felt a warm sensation on my head, and it started to rub gently.

Then, after comforting her for a while, a voice filled with helpless concern rang out.

"Do you feel better?"

Alice Digital's ears twitched, then she nodded slightly and gave a soft, barely audible "Mmm".

After a moment of silence, another sigh was heard.

"Next time, don't take any medicine without testing for side effects. If it's really unbearable, bring it over and let me test it for you. You can use it after I confirm there are no problems..."

"......no."

A soft voice interrupted Shinji Kitahara.

He paused for a moment, then lowered his head in the darkness to look at the girl in his arms.

Then, a soft but firm voice rang out.

"This is not a side effect of Xiaosu's medicine, but my own fault."

"I like Kitahara-senpai."

The hand that was rubbing her head paused for a moment.

But Aili Digital still has no intention of stopping.

Because she didn't have the same subservient power as other horse girls, things were fine before, since nothing had happened, and she could still secretly like him.

But now, after this has happened.

Although she knew that as long as she went along with Kitahara Shinji's words, she could easily shift all the blame to Alice's medicine and fool him.

But Aili Digital didn't want to do that.

Because she didn't want Alice to take the blame for her own actions, and she didn't want to deceive him.

Therefore, even though they know that the chances of getting a response after saying this are infinitely close to zero.

They might even be guarded against or resisted by him in the future, or even excluded from the Kitahara Cup.

But she still chose to tell the truth.

Moreover, even after she finished speaking, her face was so red that it was almost steaming.

She still forced herself to lift her head, stood on tiptoe, and once again offered him the warm, soft treat, proving her feelings to him.
