In these past few days, to prevent Origami from doing anything foolish after waking up, Inaba Tsukiyo had been constantly on alert, even monitoring Origami's condition while bathing.
Coupled with the Tianyang Festival over the past few days, many things required Inaba Tsukiyo to transform into Illya to help out. As a result, the two fronts of Origami and school kept Inaba Tsukiyo extremely busy.
Now that the Tianyang Festival was over and Origami had woken up, she should be able to calm down after watching the video.
She just wanted to take a good bath, then take advantage of this day off to lie comfortably on her soft bed, relax, and make up for the rest she had missed these past few days.
At this moment, Inaba Tsukiyo took off her miko outfit and stood naked under the showerhead, rinsing her body.
The design of this showerhead allowed it to be hung on the wall with a mechanism to adjust its height up and down, which was to accommodate Inaba Tsukiyo's height requirements.
There was no other way; when she had bathed with others before, due to the height issue, she had to stand further back, which would expose her completely to everyone else.
Even though they were all girls, none of them had good intentions, so she had changed the showerhead to a movable mechanism.
The water from the showerhead continuously rinsed her body. Because the constant flow of water affected Inaba Tsukiyo's hearing, she did not hear anyone entering.
But she did notice the sound of someone undressing outside the bathroom.
Inaba Tsukiyo didn't think too much. Based on past experience, if Nia came in, she would either be very careful or just shout and rush in directly.
Kurumi was similar, except that girl would summon her clones, have one hold her from behind, and then personally wash her body with foamy hands.
This feeling must be what they call a sandwich; she was the part in the middle, with different versions of Kurumi on both sides—it was really too much.
Yoshino and Ellen were fine; those two were usually well-behaved, at most just helping her wash her hair or her back.
"Is that Yoshino? Come here, you can help me wash my back."
Inaba Tsukiyo, thinking it was Yoshino, turned off the faucet, found a stool, sat on it, pulled her long silver hair to the front, and made space for the other person.
After a brief silence, footsteps sounded behind her.
However, the other person had no intention of washing her back; instead, they hugged Inaba Tsukiyo tightly.
!!!
A soft sensation came, the body of a girl, but this height was clearly not Yoshino's.
Just as Inaba Tsukiyo thought it was Nia or Kurumi and was about to retaliate, she finally realized who it was.
"Origami?"
"Thank you... Thank you..."
Origami quietly hugged Inaba Tsukiyo, burying her head in Inaba Tsukiyo's shoulder and sobbing.
"Really... aside from being a little strange, you're truly peculiar. Nobody apologizes like this."
Blushing, she pulled away from Origami's embrace. This girl actually ran in naked to hug her. Did she think thanking someone required this level of intimacy?
Looking at Origami's soft, sobbing appearance, Inaba Tsukiyo sighed helplessly.
She had originally wanted someone to help her wash her back, but it turned into her getting her hair and back washed by Origami. This girl wouldn't become a bossy figure like Main Body Kurumi, would she?
Inaba Tsukiyo stopped Origami's attempt to hug her again, soothing Origami's emotions, trying her best to comfort Origami as an older sister.
Although it felt strange for her to do this as an older sister, her age was indeed greater than Origami's, so comforting Origami as an older sister was perfectly fine.
Her original plan to be a'salted fish' for the day was interrupted by Origami. Origami only calmed down in the evening and went back to her room to sleep quietly.
Inaba Tsukiyo, intending to get some good rest, lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Just as she was vaguely drifting off, the room door opened, and several figures stealthily entered the room.
After confirming that Inaba Tsukiyo was truly asleep, the few exchanged glances and, with great understanding, scurried into the quilt.
"Hmm?"
Soon, Inaba Tsukiyo noticed something was amiss, as if something was pressing down on her.
It wasn't a heavy object, but something very soft, like the feeling of limbs touching her.
Masaka!
Instantly wide awake, Inaba Tsukiyo opened her eyes and threw back the quilt.
Indeed, several people were hiding under the quilt! Good heavens, Yoshino, Nia, two Kurumi, the Yamai sisters, and Ellen were all there. How did she not know this bed could fit so many people? And it hadn't even collapsed!
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping and coming here?"
"Why? Hehe~ Can't you tell? We're here to have a pajama party with Tsukiyo-chan."
Since they had been discovered, Nia didn't try to hide it and directly told Inaba Tsukiyo their purpose for coming: they were here for a pajama party!
"Pa... pajama party?"
Inaba Tsukiyo didn't have much understanding of this term. She had been blind for hundreds of years and really didn't know much about pajamas.
And another thing, although it might sound a bit hurtful, she wasn't the kind of girl who had many friends.
Furthermore, in order to hide her immortality, she didn't have many friends, so naturally, there was no such thing as a pajama party.
Even during the time she lived with Victorica, she couldn't see anything, so how could she have a pajama party? Even if she wanted one, she would just be a dress-up doll for others!
Kurumi clapped her hands, and the room door opened again. Several clones entered from outside, each holding a futon to spread on the floor.
After the futons were laid out, the clones gave Main Body Kurumi a 'I'm counting on you' look and then exited.
Kurumi and Nia each grabbed one of Inaba Tsukiyo's hands and tossed her towards the futon.
Because of the futon, Inaba Tsukiyo had a soft landing. Just as she landed, several excited voices came from behind her.
Realizing what was happening, Inaba Tsukiyo immediately performed a tactical roll, dodging Nia and the others' pounce.
Just as she thought she had escaped, a cute cry sounded.
Turning around, Inaba Tsukiyo saw that it was Yoshino rushing towards her.
If Nia and the others were doing this, Inaba Tsukiyo wouldn't even think twice and would just dodge to the side, but Yoshino was different.
To prevent Yoshino from falling onto the bed like the others, Inaba Tsukiyo quickly reached out, adopting a hugging posture.
She successfully caught the pouncing Yoshino, but Inaba Tsukiyo also ended up lying on the futon, with Yoshino sprawled on her chest.
At this moment, Yoshino was wearing a cute rabbit pajama, her face slightly flushed as she looked at Inaba Tsukiyo.
"Why are you doing this kind of thing with these people? You're a good girl, Yoshino."
"No... that's not it. Actually... actually Yoshino isn't a good girl."
Surprisingly, Yoshino actually interrupted her words. Although very shy, she still mustered her courage and looked at Yoshino.
"I'm worried... I'm worried that Tsukiyo-chan might suddenly leave. I'm afraid that Tsukiyo-chan, after experiencing many things in other worlds, will eventually forget me, so... so..."
"What the hell? Why would you think that? What do you mean forget you? How could I possibly do such a thing?"
What a joke. She originally didn't have many friends, and people with close relationships like Yoshino were even fewer. To actually say she would forget Yoshino because of people from other worlds? What a joke!
"Tell me? Who told you such things? Who portrayed me as that kind of person? Tell me, Yoshino."
Yoshino seemed not to have expected things to develop in this direction. According to the original script, wasn't Inaba Tsukiyo supposed to comfort her, saying that no matter if she went to other worlds, such a thing wouldn't happen?
However, seeing Inaba Tsukiyo's very angry appearance, Yoshino didn't dare hesitate either, pointing out the original culprit of the matter, which was Nia beside her, sweating bullets.
This was very awkward. As their strongest vanguard, Yoshino was actually persuaded so easily! They originally planned to have Yoshino first lower Inaba Tsukiyo's guard, then make their move.
"There's no choice. If we don't play our trump card now, we'll have no screen time left, Kurumi!"
"...Alright. Really, I told you not to use knowledge from galgames to predict Tsukiyo-chan's actions. It's completely useless."
Although she hadn't browsed countless galgames like the God-sama, Nia was confident she was more reliable than the guys under Kotori's command, so everyone half-believed and half-doubted her memories.
Facts proved that even with strong theoretical knowledge, without any practical foundation, you'll only end up with a face-slapping outcome, and a face-swelling one at that.
[Swish!]
Kurumi and Nia pulled open their sleeping robes in one go, directly revealing the sleepwear underneath.
Hmm... theoretically, the clothes they were wearing could be called sleepwear, but this kind of semi-transparent sleepwear that reveals the skin underneath is already a bit like lingerie.
Inaba Tsukiyo, who originally intended to lecture Nia, was directly stunned by this scene. Good grief, is this the so-called pajama party? Isn't it too stimulating! Is a girls' pajama party really like this?
Nia and Kurumi looked at their results with satisfaction. Besides them, Yakushi and Yuzuru also displayed their sleepwear. Only Ellen was somewhat retreating, not really daring to take off her sleeping robe.
This scene was noticed by Yakushi and Yuzuru. Under Ellen's flustered expression, each grabbed a corner of her clothes and gave a sharp pull, revealing the sleepwear inside.
"Ellen... even you..."
Inaba Tsukiyo looked at Ellen with a complicated gaze, not expecting even the loyal Ellen would do such a thing.
"No! It's not like that! God-sama! Things aren't what you think!"
Ellen felt so wronged. Being tricked by Nia was one thing, having to wear sleepwear she would absolutely never wear normally.
Now it might even cause Inaba Tsukiyo's favorability to drop, making her own situation even more awkward.
If possible, Ellen really wanted to strangle Nia to death. At worst, she'd perish together with this woman. After all, she'd long disliked her.
Just as Ellen wanted to explain, the room door suddenly [Bang!] was opened from the outside.
