"Without further ado, let's quickly deal with the side effects before Haruno wakes up, so…"
Natsuki looked at Yukino and asked softly:
"Will you take them off yourself, or do you want me to help?"
"…"
Yukino bit her rosy lower lip tightly, unable to answer.
When she entered the room, she knew this would happen, but when it came down to it, she still couldn't face it calmly.
Whether she took them off herself or let Garbage-kun help, it was all too terrible!
Despite not being in a relationship, she had to take off her clothes in front of a boy and let him help… Although it was for the sake of saving the world, Yukino's feelings were still conflicted and embarrassed.
Natsuki comforted her:
"Don't be nervous. Just think of me as a doctor. There's no gender distinction in front of a doctor."
Yukino covered her chest with one hand and couldn't help but retort:
"Do you have a medical license?"
Natsuki shook his head and said:
"No."
Yukino snorted softly:
"No means practicing medicine illegally, three years minimum."
"Alright." Natsuki raised his hands, "Then I'll help with a massage as your boyfriend. That should be acceptable, right?"
Yukino's pretty face immediately stiffened:
"Garbage-kun, clarify your identity. I never agreed to a relationship."
"Yes, yes." Natsuki said helplessly, "How about you lie down first, close your eyes and pretend to be asleep, and then leave the rest to me?"
"…"
Yukino's expression was hesitant.
Natsuki reminded her:
"It's almost dawn. If we delay any longer, it'll be too late."
"Hoo…"
Yukino hesitated for a few seconds, finally made up her mind, let out a soft breath, and then lay down on her back by the bed, her eyes sharp, warning:
"Only eliminate the side effects. Don't do anything else irrelevant."
Yukino didn't have much confidence in a boy's self-control.
Although Natsuki was usually reliable, the situation was different after all.
A lone man and woman, in the same room, and he was helping to eliminate side effects… What if Natsuki couldn't control himself and just pounced on her?
It wasn't impossible, so she had to warn him beforehand.
"Understood." Natsuki softly promised, "I like Yukino, and unless Yukino herself agrees, I definitely won't do anything excessive. I don't want Yukino to dislike me."
"Heh."
Yukino couldn't help but say sarcastically, "You say that so skillfully, you've said that to many people, haven't you?"
Natsuki's expression was calm, and he admitted:
"That's right, I've indeed said it to everyone. Scum-kun and Garbage-kun refer to me."
Natsuki never liked being a literary youth; he was just despicable, a scumbag, shameless and lewd, and he wanted everything.
If you don't even dare to admit your own true feelings, how can you expect girls to compromise and accommodate you?
This world has always been about the thick-skinned getting what they want. As for sentimentality and depression, whoever wants that can have it.
Yukino: "…"
On the matter of shamelessness, there was no way to be sarcastic anymore, because it caused no harm.
"Yukino, close your eyes." Natsuki instructed, "I'm going to start."
Yukino's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, slowly closing in conflict, then she turned her head to the side.
Out of sight, out of mind.
As long as she couldn't see, she could pretend nothing was happening… Could she?
However, Yukino soon realized she was wrong.
And very wrong.
Closing her eyes didn't make nothing happen; instead, it made her other senses more acute.
Like now.
Even though it was just ordinary contact between fingers and skin, Yukino felt as if electricity was colliding and erupting, a tingling sensation instantly sweeping through her entire body, making her instinctively want to let out a soft moan. She barely managed to swallow the sound that rose to her lips, relying on her willpower.
However, the matter was not over.
The urge, forcibly suppressed by willpower, did not dissipate; instead, it accumulated like a tide, spreading continuously.
Her throat became itchier and itchier, and a sound wanted to escape.
Yukino continued to bite her silver teeth and endure, but after a short while, just biting her teeth was no longer enough. To combat the increasingly strong urge, her hands had no choice but to tightly clench the bedsheet beneath her.
"As expected of Yukino, her endurance is super strong."
Looking at the long black-haired girl whose face was explosively red but still silent, Natsuki silently gave a thumbs-up in praise.
This willpower was indeed commendable.
However…
"Don't tear up the bedsheet." Natsuki complained faintly, "You'll have to pay for it then."
Yukino's breathing became erratic, her voice slightly trembling:
"You… you shut up!"
"Yes, yes."
"…"
The treatment continued.
After scolding Natsuki, Yukino gritted her teeth and endured again. She thought she could hold out until the end, but she miscalculated once more.
The moment his finger reached the peak, the accumulated urge finally surged back like a tide, and a low groan uncontrollably escaped her lips.
"Hmm... Mmm--!"
The girl's trembling and hurried whimpers echoed through the room, turning the entire room pink.
"I didn't, I don't have." Natsuki quickly raised his hands to prove his innocence, "That was just a normal method to eliminate side effects."
Yukino's pretty face was about to drip blood, and her voice trembled:
"You, you shut up..."
Natsuki asked:
"Then shall I continue?"
"Hmm..."
Yukino involuntarily let out another soft hum, opened her eyes, and glared at him with murderous, Shame eyes.
What about asking for her opinion?
He didn't even wait for her reply and just went for it. Commit seppuku!
Twenty minutes later.
The side effects on Yukino finally disappeared.
"Hoo... hoo..."
The black-haired girl, now Hirano again, lay on the bed, her right hand covering her forehead, breathing rapidly and covered in sweat.
For some reason, although the air conditioning was on in the room, Yukino was drenched in sweat.
"You've sweated so much, you must be uncomfortable. Shall I carry you to take a bath?"
Natsuki suggested.
...
Yukino didn't want to say a word now. When Natsuki reached out, she slapped Natsuki's arm away with a 'pah', then turned over and sat up, covering her chest with one hand, about to leave.
"Wait, there's one more thing." Natsuki looked at Yukino, unable to resist teasing her, "Yukino still remembers the promise in Swallow Cave, right?"
At that time, in order to cross the sea of Night-Shining Sand, Yukino signed an unequal agreement, agreeing to let Natsuki tease her afterward. Only two days had passed, so Yukino naturally wouldn't forget.
"That's enough for today." Yukino glanced over, "We'll talk about it later."
Natsuki said seriously:
"There was no time limit set for the agreement. I want it now."
"You go away."
Yukino's eyes were filled with embarrassment; she could tell what Natsuki was thinking at a glance.
Asking her to fulfill the agreement at a time like this clearly meant he wanted to take advantage of her and do something even more excessive!
"Alright, not agreeing is fine, but you have to pay some interest, right?" Natsuki pointed to his cheek, shamelessly, "Kiss me once, and I'll let you go back after you kiss me."
Yukino's pretty face froze, saying:
"Garbage-kun, don't push your luck."
"It's Yukino who's going back on her word." Natsuki was not at all flustered, arguing eloquently, "Paying interest is very reasonable, isn't it?"
The previous treatment had consumed a large amount of Yukino's willpower. Hirano felt dizzy now, and even her judgment was significantly weakened.
Since she was the one who broke the agreement first, then paying interest... seemed reasonable?
Seeing the hesitation on Yukino's face, Natsuki immediately pressed his advantage, leaning close to Yukino and saying:
"Hurry up and kiss me. It's almost dawn. If we delay any longer, Haruno-nee will wake up."
That's right, my sister should be waking up soon, I can't delay any longer...
The urgency from reality once again reduced Yukino's judgment.
The black-haired girl hesitated, then tiptoed and lightly kissed Natsuki's cheek, her pretty face flushed, saying:
"Is, is that enough?"
Natsuki touched his cheek, then suddenly said with burning eyes:
"I still don't think it's enough."
"Eh?"
The next second.
Natsuki directly extended his right hand, wrapped it around Yukino's soft and slender waist, then lowered his head and directly kissed the girl's pink, moist lips.
"Hmm--"
Yukino wanted to refuse, but her body was half a beat too slow.
A hot, scalding sensation, like a volcanic eruption, quickly came from her lips, melting away the girl's remaining willpower. Yukino's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
A moment later.
Yukino, her will returned, finally woke up, struggled free, panting, then clenched her fists and angrily punched Natsuki.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Natsuki prostrated himself in apology, his apologetic gesture exceptionally practiced.
"Hmph." Yukino breathed rapidly, raised her hand to wipe her lips, her pretty face crimson, almost dripping blood, "The promise has been fulfilled, there will be no next time."
"Wait." Natsuki quickly looked up and said, "There's not enough time..."
"You shut up!"
Yukino's pretty face hardened, and she turned and left, her black hair gently swirling and fluttering in the air, leaving only a lingering subtle scent.
Seven-thirty in the morning.
Breakfast time.
The group met in the hotel's restaurant.
"Natsuki-kun, good morning."
Haruno smiled brightly and waved, calling out.
"Haruno-nee, morning."
Natsuki nodded, his gaze falling on Yukino, and he smiled casually:
"Yukino, good morning."
Yukino looked straight ahead, not looking at Natsuki at all, and opened her lips, coldly uttering a single word:
"Morning."
Natsuki didn't mind, feigning surprise:
"When did Yukino's side effects disappear?"
Yukino was drinking milk and almost crushed the cup when she heard that.
When did the side effects disappear? You know better than anyone, don't you?
Saying something like this now is clearly intentional trouble-making.
"It should have been last night?" Haruno propped her chin, "When I woke up this morning, Yukino was already ordinary."
Sayu swallowed her bread and said from the side:
"It feels a bit regrettable. Yukino-chan's clothes look better when she's big."
Yukino took a deep breath, resisted the urge to complain, and changed the subject:
"Hurry up and eat. No matter what, we have to complete the extreme challenge today."
...
After breakfast.
The group got into a jeep and headed to Angel Falls again.
Without a word, they arrived in front of Angel Falls. Yukino once again took out her future diary to check if today's diary content had changed.
As the diary warmed slightly, lines of text quietly appeared on the diary:
[After eliminating the side effects, you successfully climbed Angel Falls]
[Your favorability towards Natsuki has increased]
[You found that sister Haruno was very strange every night, but you didn't pay attention to it, considering it personal privacy]
[Three months later, you found yourself becoming an aunt]
"Auntie??"
Yukino's eyes widened, and she quickly reacted.
In other words... her sister will get pregnant in two months?
Yukino pursed her lips, unable to resist turning to look at Haruno.
Her sister had indeed been very strange these past two nights. If she knew the truth, would she be able to prevent her sister's future pregnancy?
Haruno is only twenty years old now, just in her second year of college, and she's also a player. It doesn't seem suitable for her to have a child... If she can prevent it, she naturally should.
"Yukino, what did the diary say?"
Haruno asked loudly.
"No problem." Yukino exhaled lightly, put away her future diary, glared at Natsuki, and then said, "We can do the extreme challenge today."
Natsuki was very innocent: "Why are you glaring at me again?"
Yukino said expressionlessly:
"Shut up, don't talk."
My sister is actually getting pregnant within two months. Besides you, there's no one else!
"Natsuki-kun~" Haruno raised her right hand and said with a smile, "Help me paste the Possession Skill. My spirit is with you."
Natsuki turned to look at Haruno, saying in a subtle tone:
"No problem."
Haruno didn't know he knew everything. Sure enough, girls also like lewd.
"Amamiya-sama." Sayu quickly said, "Me too!"
Unlike Haruno, Sayu pasting the Possession Skill really meant she wanted to climb mentally together.
A moment later.
The skills were pasted, and Natsuki and Yukino chose their climbing route and began the extreme challenge.
"Yukino, you go first." Natsuki looked at Hirano, saying seriously, "I'll follow you from below."
Climbing a waterfall thousands of meters high, even for a player, there's no guarantee of 100% no mistakes. So Natsuki had to stay below. Once Yukino encountered danger, he would decisively activate Time Stop and rescue Yukino.
"Mm."
Yukino nodded lightly, not refusing. After taking a deep breath, she began to climb first.
Of course, it was impossible to wear a skirt when climbing. Yukino was currently wearing black leggings, so there was no possibility of accidental exposure.
Without delay, the two of them, one after the other, began to climb upwards.
Sayu clasped her hands in front of her chest, activated the Possession Skill, and while looking up, she quietly prayed in her heart.
In contrast, Haruno was much calmer, only occasionally letting out a soft cry in cooperation.
"So high."
"When Yukino looks down, I feel like I'm going to faint."
"Ugh, I can't do it, my legs are already starting to feel weak..." Haruno hugged Sayu, "Sayu-chan, let me hug you, I'm already about to lose my balance."
Sayu naturally didn't doubt it and obediently let Haruno hug her.
hen, once again, he was marked with a possession seal by Haruno.
At the same time, "I feel… quite relaxed."
Natsuki looked at the lush primeval jungle beneath his feet and gave his assessment.
He had originally thought rock climbing would be very difficult, but once he actually started, he realized that with his current physical fitness, rock climbing wasn't very hard at all.
He climbed two hundred meters in one go, without a red face or gasping for breath, and didn't even feel much fatigue.
"Don't talk," Yukino said from above, "Keep a steady pace, don't relax or slack off."
"Yes, yes."
"…"
There's not much to say about the rock climbing process.
Without the giant [beep] trouble, Yukino's body could easily cling to the cliff face, greatly reducing the danger.
Although her physical attributes were not as good as Natsuki's, they were far beyond ordinary people, and she didn't need to stop and rest midway.
The two climbed one after another at a steady pace, only wasting some time when they encountered difficulties.
Forty minutes later, both successfully reached the top of the waterfall.
"Very good, challenge successful."
Natsuki grabbed a protruding rock at the top of the cliff, flipped himself onto the cliff, and then received a game notification that the stage challenge was completed.
"Let's have some water first."
Natsuki exhaled lightly, took out a bottle of energy drink, and handed it to Yukino, "Replenish your energy, and we'll complete the next challenge directly."
The two only rested once midway, almost climbing a thousand-meter-high cliff in one go.
After climbing up, they were inevitably parched and indeed needed to replenish their energy.
In addition to freehand rock climbing, they could also complete the Leap of Faith challenge — simply put, it meant jumping directly from the top of Angel Falls without any protective measures.
Natsuki had only one comment for this challenge: he was crazy.
As is well known, when the height exceeds a certain limit, falling on water is no different from falling on concrete.
Jumping from a thousand-meter-high cliff is not a near-death experience, but a 100% guarantee of death, with absolutely no other possibility.
Fortunately, Natsuki and Yukino were not ordinary people.
Before coming, they had already discussed a countermeasure.
Auxiliary tools like parachutes couldn't be used, but it didn't say skills couldn't be used.
Later, the two would jump together, and when they were close to the water, Natsuki would activate Time Stop, then adjust their entry angle and throw in buffering items into the water in advance.
They would most likely be able to complete the challenge.
"No rush."
Yukino took the energy drink, took a sip, then took out her plain Future Diary, and looked down.
A moment later, the diary became slightly warm, and lines of text quietly appeared:
[You and Natsuki embraced and leaped down Angel Falls; you successfully passed the challenge]
[Your favorability towards Natsuki has increased]
[Two months later, you discover that your elder sister Haruno is pregnant]
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Yukino couldn't help but lightly raise her delicate eyebrows.
The increase in favorability wasn't important; successfully passing the challenge was enough.
It's just… why did her sister's pregnancy happen earlier?
The content of the Future Diary had not yet ended, and new text was still appearing.
[Three months later, at a celebration banquet, you drank the wine handed to you by Haruno]
[That night, Natsuki came to your room; you did not refuse, making the mistake every drunk girl makes]
[The next day, your elder sister Haruno came to your room]
[Natsuki successfully had a sisters rice bowl]
Yukino: "…"
