I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

This is a problem. If this continues, it'll be lunchtime soon. In her current state, if she gets hungry, then...

When he thought of this, Shinji Kitahara suddenly paused.

Wait, are you hungry?

After regaining his senses, Shinji Kitahara glanced at the chestnut hat that was still diligently licking the energy from his hand, and his expression gradually became subtle.

It was fine when I didn't realize what was happening.

Now that he'd realized it, Shinji Kitahara suddenly understood that, in a sense, Oguri Hat could now be said to be 'eating'.

It's just different from usual. When we eat normally, we eat food in the physical sense.

Despite her enormous appetite, thanks to Ma-niang's superb physical abilities and unique eating skills, Oguri Hattori is able to finish eating in about the same amount of time as everyone else.

But now, faced with this abnormal 'food,' let alone eating quickly, even though she was trying her best to lick and suck, the speed at which she could absorb that strange energy was still shockingly slow.

But if we could find a way to speed up her eating and fill her 'belly,' wouldn't that help her return to normal...?

To be honest, Shinji Kitahara wasn't entirely sure about this conjecture.

But the problem is that given the current situation, he didn't have much room for choice. After a moment's thought, Shinji Kitahara decided to give it a try.

If all else fails, let the solar eclipse cover it all.

He thought this, then closed his eyes and began to guide the energy within his body.

Dig, guide, and then release from your fingertips...

As he expected, after releasing that energy from his fingertip, Oguri Hat indeed moved to another spot and put his finger in her mouth.

But unlike before, this time, after Oguri Hat put his finger in her mouth, Kitahara Shinji did not remain still.

Instead, following her swallowing, he put his fingers into her mouth again and actively rubbed the back of her tongue with his fingers.

Perhaps because the finger had gone too deep, a look of discomfort was clearly visible on Oguri's face.

But soon, with Shinji Kitahara's comforting words and the increased output of energy from his fingertips, that uncomfortable expression quickly dissipated.

And after a while, I gradually got used to the feeling.

Oguri Hat's face once again showed that happy expression she had when enjoying delicious food, and she even actively cooperated with Kitahara Shinji's actions.

After calming Oguri Hat down and confirming that she wouldn't actually bite him, Kitahara Shinji breathed a sigh of relief and then prepared to begin the next step.

During his previous attempts, Shinji Kitahara discovered that the strange energy was not only under his control when it was inside his body, but could also be used by him even after it left his body.

However, compared to operating within the body, once outside the body, the lack of a material support makes it extremely difficult to manipulate that power.

But that's okay.

After all, Shinji Kitahara doesn't need to manipulate that energy in a very precise way right now; he just needs to disperse it and send it into Oguri's belly.

...Wait a minute, should this thing be put in your stomach?

As he began to guide that energy into Oguri's belly, Kitahara Shinji suddenly realized the problem.

After all, it's different from regular food. Although it looks like 'eating', Shinji Kitahara couldn't be sure what the digestive organs for this energy were.

However, soon, with his proactive 'feeding', the look of satisfaction on Oguri Hat's face grew stronger, and the pressure on him gradually decreased.

Thankfully, it seems the position wasn't wrong.

Seeing her reaction, Shinji Kitahara breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was preparing to keep things as they were, thinking he would quickly feed her and end it all,

As energy surged in, Kitahara Shinji gradually began to experience a strange sensation.

Because he wasn't yet proficient in controlling that kind of energy, Shinji Kitahara kept his eyes closed throughout the feeding process.

Even though he kept his eyes closed the whole time, as he fed him, after the energy flowed in to a certain level, Shinji Kitahara suddenly felt that he seemed to 'see' something.

That's not 'vision' in the normal sense, nor is it 'seeing' in the conventional sense. If you had to describe it, it's closer to 'touch'.

Because what constitutes that image is not the light received back from the retina.

Instead, it was the energy he dispersed within Oguri Hat that created the image through the 'collision' generated during the operation, like an echo.

Furthermore, as the energy input increased, the range and clarity of the image gradually improved, slowly outlining the silhouette of Oguri Hat.

But this is not the end, but only the beginning.

After injecting a certain amount of energy, Shinji Kitahara was surprised to find that the energy that Oguri had swallowed did not seem to dissipate, but was stored up.

Moreover, it wasn't just about storage; after the energy he continuously injected was linked to the energy that she had previously swallowed, he actually regained control over the energy that Oguri Hat had 'eaten'.

This stuff doesn't look like it can be digested yet. I hope it won't give her an upset stomach...

Shinji Kitahara muttered to himself.

But the moment he muttered those words, something unexpected happened.

It was as if the city, which had lost power, had suddenly regained its power supply, after connecting to the energy that Oguri Hat had previously swallowed and regaining the ability to control it.

As the 'tactile sensation' increased, just like the lights of thousands of homes turning on, outlining the existence of the city, the outline of Oguri's hat in front of Kitahara Shinji instantly became much clearer.

But this is not the end.

Following the energy stored within Oguri Hat's body, Kitahara Shinji then reconnected with the energy threads that were spreading out along that stored energy and were currently circulating within Oguri Hat's body.

The 'tactile sensation' increased dramatically, and the image became clearer and clearer. It wasn't just the outlines that were drawn; more detailed things also began to appear.

Those things seemed like blood vessels and nerves, spreading throughout the body, intricate and complex, yet possessing a strange, almost logical beauty.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that they don't match any human body or horse girl's body.

Furthermore, there are many things, both inside and outside, that have not yet been described, or that have been described but are difficult to describe in words.

There was no temperature, no physical sensation, but there was definitely a feeling of 'touching'.

Moreover, although the image in front of me has the outline of Oguri Hat.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that it differs from the actual Oguri hat in many details, and there are some indescribable things inside.

If it were any other trainer in this situation, they would most likely think they were hallucinating.

Even if they don't think so, they certainly won't understand what it is, let alone study it further.

But as Kitahara Shinji looked at the bizarre scene before him and sensed the various 'tactile sensations' emanating from the little chestnut hat's body, a familiar feeling gradually welled up in his heart.

This thing... it feels a bit like the feeling I got from Sunday's tranquility...

Upon realizing this, Shinji Kitahara immediately understood and realized that he seemed to have 'seen' something extraordinary.

However, before Shinji Kitahara could investigate further, a new unexpected situation arose, preventing him from pursuing the matter any further.

Because that kind of energy was only recently created and its reserves are not very large, coupled with his frantic outpouring just now.

By the time he realized what was happening, the supply of energy in his body had already begun to become intermittent.

The scene before him began to flicker and blur due to fluctuations in the energy supply. He could no longer observe the current scene, let alone refine it further.

Fortunately, although the energy supply is starting to become somewhat insufficient.

But because of the crazy injection just now, at least Oguri Hat's side is full, or even a little stuffed.

Even before the energy began to dissipate, Oguri's eyes had already regained their clarity.

She just couldn't bear to let go of Kitahara Shinji because his eyes were closed and the finger in his mouth was so delicious.

As for Shinji Kitahara...

Seeing that his energy supply was running low and that the tightness of Oguri Hat's restraints on him was almost negligible, he breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to continue.

However, regardless of whether he decided to stop or not, Shinji Kitahara did not give up immediately.

After all, this was his first time using this thing. Although the energy supply was insufficient, he still had a large pool of energy in Oguri's body that he could manipulate through the link.

If we just let go like that, something unexpected might happen, and it could damage Oguri's hat.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, even though the energy supply is already insufficient.

But Shinji Kitahara still managed to hold on and place the energy into the location he had previously sensed within Oguri Hat's body—the one that stored the energy she had swallowed.

After confirming that they were in the correct position and after a while without any unusual movements, I slowly relaxed my control over them.

The process went smoothly, and nothing unexpected happened afterwards.

Just to be safe, Shinji Kitahara closed his eyes and waited a few more minutes. After confirming that the energy inside Oguri's belly had indeed calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes.

When Kitahara Shinji opened his eyes, the girl in the chestnut hat, who was secretly showing off his fingers, was stunned for a moment. Just as she was thinking about how to explain, Kitahara Shinji spoke first.

"Don't speak or move yet. Feel if there's anything that feels uncomfortable on your body."

Oguri Hat paused for a moment, then followed Kitahara Shinji's instructions and felt her entire body. Then, while sucking on Kitahara Shinji's finger, she mumbled something indistinctly.

"I feel a little hungry..."

After a pause, she added.

My tongue and chin also feel a bit sore...

Nonsense, don't you even remember how long you just licked me?

Shinji Kitahara mentally scoffed, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, he slowly withdrew his finger, which was covered in Oguri Hat's drool and was still dripping down.

Then, Shinji Kitahara took out a tissue and wiped his fingers and other places she had licked while preparing to ask her about what had just happened.

Just as Kitahara Shinji was thinking about how to ask a question, Oguri Hat blinked, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and then spoke again.

"Um, Trainer Kitahara, although I don't feel unwell, my lower abdomen feels a little warm, and it also feels a little... no, it's nothing."

My lower abdomen feels warm?

Shinji Kitahara was taken aback, then looked at Oguri's belly.

Because Oguri's winning outfit exposed her navel (mainly to prevent her from feeling constricted after eating a lot).

Therefore, Shinji Kitahara easily saw the halo emanating from it, which was somewhat similar to the one on his hand earlier.

Originally, Shinji Kitahara wanted to use both visual observation and system analysis to see if she had any problems.

But to Shinji Kitahara's surprise, after he looked over, Oguri Hat pulled her skirt down and lifted the hem of her clothes so that he could see what was happening there more clearly.

Under normal circumstances, Shinji Kitahara would definitely stop her from doing this, and would also give her a lecture afterwards.

But after seeing the condition of Oguri Hat's abdomen, his words suddenly caught in his throat. His eyes were fixed on Oguri Hat's lower abdomen, and his throat bobbed involuntarily.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't see anything he shouldn't have seen, nor did he develop any feelings for Oguri Hat; he was simply shocked by what he saw.

And it wasn't just him; after lifting his shirt, he was also stunned to see the extra thing on his lower abdomen.

"Um, Trainer Kitahara, did you draw this on me just now? It's quite pretty..."

As she spoke, Oguri Hat stretched out her finger and curiously touched the beautiful pattern on her lower abdomen that emitted a pinkish-purple glow, but she couldn't feel anything, as if the pattern came from under her skin.

"of course not......"

Shinji Kitahara instinctively wanted to deny it, but after thinking of something, he suddenly stopped speaking.

After a moment of silence, looking at the rather subtle pattern on Oguri's lower abdomen, Kitahara Shinji spoke with difficulty.

"Um, Oguri-hat, can I touch that place? Just for a moment...?"

"of course can."

Oguri immediately nodded in agreement, and not only did she actively cooperate with Kitahara Shinji's actions, but she also nudged him closer.

She was even afraid he couldn't see clearly, so she tried to pull her skirt down further—but was stopped by Shinji Kitahara.

After stopping Oguri Hat, Kitahara Shinji hesitated for a moment when he looked at the pattern on her lower abdomen that gave him a sense of familiarity. Then he slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on her abdomen.

Then, the moment he touched the pattern, the familiar sense of control returned, and Kitahara Shinji saw the full picture of the pattern.

Those weren't patterns, but rather the overflowing manifestation of the excess energy he left inside Oguri Hat's body.

As for why it's located in the lower abdomen...

Shinji Kitahara thought for a moment, although he remembered that he should have placed that energy in Oguri Hat's stomach.

But looking back now...

Shinji Kitahara's expression gradually became subtle.

That location, it seems, indeed, looks like...

It's located quite a bit lower than the stomach.
