Shioyaki Lemon felt like her cheeks were about to burn up.
Her mind was a complete blank, only able to vaguely feel Kin-chan seriously guiding her shooting movements.
"Steady, don't shake."
Imaizumi Keita's voice had a reassuring steadiness, "Aim for the one at the top, yes, that pink rabbit."
Bang!
After a soft sound, the cork shot out and hit the target precisely.
The Pink Rabbit Doll shook and fell from the shelf.
"Wow! Hit it!"
Shioyaki Lemon subconsciously cheered, but was soon overwhelmed by a higher temperature of shame.
She hurriedly broke free from Imaizumi Keita's embrace, turned her back to him, not daring to look at him again.
"S-so amazing..."
The stall owner handed over the rabbit doll with a look of surprise, "Young man, nice marksmanship."
Of course, the most surprising part was Imaizumi Keita's serious way of flirting with the girl...
And he just happened to hit the target at once, showing off big time...
Imaizumi Keita took the doll, nodded to the boss, and then handed the Pink Rabbit Doll to her.
"Here, it's yours."
Shioyaki Lemon raised her flushed face, took the doll, and held it in her arms, feeling full of happiness.
"Then... the reward we mentioned just now..."
Imaizumi Keita leaned half a step closer, lowered his voice, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
Shioyaki Lemon subconsciously took a step back, looking around in a panic.
It wasn't that she wanted to go back on her word.
"T-there are too many people here!"
She blushed and reminded him in a low voice.
"Then let's find a place with fewer people?"
"...Um."
...
On the other side, Yanami Anna's situation wasn't great.
Tsukinoki Koto's comfort didn't help much.
Rationally, she knew everything the senior said was right.
But emotionally, the strong unease born of intuition tightened as time passed.
She knew Keita, and she also knew Lemon-chan's competitive spirit.
Over an hour.
A full hour of time alone.
For those two, it was enough for too many things to happen.
Will they kiss?
Definitely.
That bastard Keita had already confessed before.
Then... will they do anything else?
Like what she and he did...
Yanami Anna followed behind Tsukinoki Koto and the other absent-mindedly, holding a stick of newly bought Candy Apple, not eating a single bite.
Her eyes kept scanning the surrounding crowd, refusing to give up on finding the two who had disappeared.
Although she probably understood that the two who ran away wouldn't appear in a place like this...
But what if...
What if the two of them wanted to hide in the darkness under the lamp?
Komari Chika, following at the very back, looked at Yanami Anna's forced smile and remembered the sight of Shioyaki Lemon pulling Imaizumi Keita into another crowd just now, silently clutching the cuffs of her Yukata.
Yanami... she seems really uneasy.
And Lemon... she also...
Komari Chika felt her brain starting to get confused again.
Why did it become like this?
Everyone... should be friends...
She looked at the Cotton Candy stall not far away, then at the stick of Candy Apple Yanami had casually stuffed into her hand, and a sudden sense of inexplicable irritability surged in her heart.
"Um, how about I... go wait at the station first."
Yanami Anna stopped, looking a bit embarrassed, "I'm a little tired and don't want to walk around anymore."
"Eh? So early?"
Tsukinoki Koto was a bit surprised, but seeing her indeed pale face, she nodded understandingly.
"Okay, since Anna is tired, let's find a place to rest first."
...
On a Viewing Platform in Seaside Park, only a few couples were snuggling together, whispering sweet nothings.
Imaizumi Keita and Shioyaki Lemon leaned side by side against the railing, gazing at the moonlight reflected on the distant sea.
Shioyaki Lemon still held the pink rabbit plushie in her arms, and the blush on her face appeared particularly captivating under the moonlight.
"It's... so quiet here."
She whispered her sentiment.
"Mm-hmm."
Imaizumi Keita responded and turned his head to look at her.
"So, can I claim that reward from earlier now?"
Shioyaki Lemon's body tensed for a moment before immediately relaxing.
She turned her head, meeting his smiling eyes, and a similarly smiling expression appeared on her face.
"Of course you can."
She placed the rabbit plushie in her arms on a nearby stone bench, then took an active step forward, closing the distance between them.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, slightly tilted her head up, and offered her lips.
Imaizumi Keita wrapped his arms around her slender waist, taking the initiative.
Their lips and tongues intertwined.
Their breaths mingled.
Shioyaki Lemon only felt that Imaizumi Keita's charm was infinitely magnified at this moment.
Countless waves of male Hormones projected from Imaizumi Keita into her heart, and she felt her rationality being submerged by his gentle yet domineering force.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before, so she could only respond clumsily, driven by instinct.
She didn't know how much time had passed.
They only separated when Shioyaki Lemon ran out of breath. Leaning against Imaizumi Keita's chest, she felt a bit unsteady on her feet.
"Hah... Hah..."
Shioyaki Lemon, her face flushed crimson, buried herself in Imaizumi Keita's embrace to soothe her agitation.
Although they were different types of girls, when it came to passionate things like kissing, they ended up becoming quite similar...
However, this was most likely due to his own reasons...
Imaizumi Keita thought to himself.
After all, no matter how differently girls could handle it, under the enhancement and influence of his succubus abilities, they all inevitably ended up begging him to stop...
The reason he hadn't used his succubus abilities to do more things, or to test more people...
Was simply because Imaizumi Keita felt that satisfying the few beautiful girls in front of him for now was enough...
He wasn't someone who wanted to stir up some earth-shattering endeavor either...
Doing the right thing at the right stage; he himself cherished this relaxed and adorable campus life very much...
Shioyaki Lemon pressed her forehead against Imaizumi Keita's chest, not looking up at him for a while.
Only after calming her emotions did she ask him in a muffled voice.
"So... are you satisfied now, Kin-chan?"
"Mm, very satisfied."
Imaizumi Keita's voice was full of laughter as he freed a hand to gently ruffle her hair. "I give this reward five stars."
Hearing his praise, Shioyaki Lemon's heart instantly felt sweet.
The physiological joy from the hormonal surge, mixed with the emotional value Imaizumi Keita provided, made her feel a bit dizzy.
Looking at Imaizumi Keita, a sudden curiosity welled up in Shioyaki Lemon's heart, and she couldn't help but voice it.
"Kin-chan..." she asked softly, "Earlier... when Anna was holding onto your arm the whole time, what... were you thinking?"
