"Strange... the diary actually updated?"
In the club room.
Anna quickly changed her clothes and was waiting for Elf to return. Bored, she took out the Losing Heroine Diary and casually flipped through it.
At this moment.
The content in the diary had changed drastically, completely different from what she remembered.
"When you see this sentence, time has already rewound... Meow meow meow?"
Anna widened her beautiful eyes, her face full of bewilderment.
"Was this sentence in the diary when I woke up this morning?"
Anna's expression was hesitant.
But after hesitating for only two seconds, Anna quickly shook her head.
"This sentence definitely wasn't there."
"I remember it very clearly."
"The beginning was clearly 'When you see this sentence, you are already a losing heroine'..."
"For so long, the beginning of the diary has never changed."
"So... what's going on now?"
Looking at the completely unfamiliar beginning of the Losing Heroine Diary, Anna's interest was instantly piqued.
"The handwriting looks so scribbled... but it's definitely my own handwriting."
Anna sat up straight and began to read earnestly.
[Mahiru possesses the ability to rewind time. During the time rewind, only she and Sora can retain their memories; everyone else will forget everything.]
[When you read this diary entry, but have absolutely no memory of it in your head, it proves that time has already rewound.]
[Mahiru activated time rewind to save second-year Misaki-senpai, the girl who cheated on the exam before... Elf isn't by your side, right?]
[Because Elf went invisible to film evidence.]
"Eh, time rewind?"
Anna widened her beautiful eyes, a look of disbelief appearing on her pretty face.
"But since Mahiru can stop time, rewinding time also seems very reasonable..."
[Attention!!!]
[This is not the first time time has rewound. When everyone went to the amusement park together, Mahiru unlocked the time rewind ability.]
[In other words, your memory could be reset at any time.]
[In the last few minutes before the previous rewind, I grabbed Sora, kissed him, and hugged him, did it all (* ̄︶ ̄)]
[The me after the rewind... what will you do?]
...
[This is the second rewind.]
[I kissed and hugged him too, and I also loudly confessed to Sora.]
[This is the third rewind.]
[Damn it, Sora is clearly my man! I've already branded him as mine!]
[This is the fourth rewind.]
[Slurp~ Sora is super delicious.]
"Wait... exactly how many times has time rewound?"
"Why don't I have a single bit of memory!"
Anna had no memories from before the time rewinds. Now, seeing the content in the diary, she only had one thought in her mind:
"I got cuckolded by myself?"
"No."
"I turned into a minotaur (cuckolder), and then cuckolded myself?"
"..."
Girls are quite peculiar creatures; once they get jealous, they'll even get jealous of themselves.
Anna was exactly like this right now.
"You guys went too far!"
"You even left an exclusive brand on Sora, you detestable thieving cats!"
"Ahhhh, so mad!"
"..."
While she was talking, Kuroneko, having changed her clothes, walked over:
"Anna, what are you saying?"
Smack.
Anna hurriedly closed the diary, put her hands behind her back, and stammered:
"Ahem, nothing... I just saw a very infuriating news article, it makes me so mad."
Kuroneko naturally noticed Anna's insincerity but didn't press further, just curiously looking around:
"Elf isn't back yet?"
"I don't know..."
Anna quickly shook her head:
"Maybe she was delayed by something."
Elf went out without even changing her clothes, and she hasn't been back for half the day. Could it be like the diary said, she actually went invisible to film a video?
Anna bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth, thinking seriously.
"No, I have to find Elf and verify this later..."
Elf had the fewest schemes and was not good at lying. A sudden question would highly likely yield the truth.
Meanwhile.
On the other side.
In a secluded corner of the hallway.
There were only two minutes left until the time rewind.
"Sora-kun, close your eyes."
Angel-sama's pretty face flushed slightly, still choosing to deceive herself.
Sora said in a low voice:
"I suddenly contracted a strange disease where I can't close my eyes."
"There's no such strange disease."
Shiina Mahiru glared affectionately with her bright eyes, reached up to cover Sora's eyes, and then stood on her tiptoes, kissing him with a flushed face.
Even though both of them knew perfectly well what they were doing, before officially dating, he just wasn't allowed to open his eyes.
Time quietly slipped by during the kiss, and they soon reached the loop node.
This time, time flowed forward quietly, following Mahiru's will.
In the corner.
A little blonde secretly peeked out.
"Ahhhh! So mad!"
"Idiot Servant actually kissed Mahiru?"
"Damn it!"
"A Servant who betrays his master must be punished!"
"..."
A minute later.
With a soft pop, Angel-sama quickly stepped back half a pace. Her pretty face was flushed crimson, panting slightly, almost ready to drip blood. Even her fair, jade-like neck had turned pink.
"So fast?"
Sora opened his eyes, feeling unsatisfied.
Halfway through the kiss, Angel-sama's right hand had already slid down to his neck.
"Someone might come... I-I'm going to change clothes..."
Shiina Mahiru's pretty face was completely red. She explained in a low voice while hurriedly leaving.
People could appear in the hallway at any time, so she naturally didn't dare to kiss for too long.
Sora took out his phone, checked the time, confirmed that the time loop had ended, and turned towards the restroom.
"Uncle Suzuki, you can come out now."
Sora walked to the outside of the last stall and raised his hand to knock.
The stall door quickly opened. The drunken middle-aged man looked confused:
"Who are you?"
Previously, it was a male classmate who came over to ask for the diary. Sora hadn't entered the restroom, so the middle-aged man currently didn't know him.
"I am Misaki-senpai's friend." Sora's expression remained normal. "Please follow me."
"Where to?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for two seconds, then followed in confusion.
"To seek justice for Misaki-senpai."
Sora didn't waste words. He took out his phone to ask for Tia's location. Upon learning she was already in the office, he simply led the middle-aged man there.
There's no need to elaborate on what happened next.
A multi-party confrontation took place in the office.
Misaki's father, Kayo-senpai, Tia, and the two bullying girls were all gathered together.
The teacher was also a peacemaker. Even after seeing the video evidence, they still tried to smooth things over and minimize the issue.
But Tia argued strongly on the basis of reason, refusing to turn a blind eye. Coupled with the middle-aged man panting like a bull, almost going berserk, which terrified the teachers in the office, a satisfactory resolution was finally achieved.
First, Misaki-senpai's name was cleared. Then, the two bullies were ordered to have their parents come in to apologize together, and promise never to do it again, otherwise they would be expelled.
Finally, it was the black-haired girl, Kayo-senpai, who was to go directly to the hospital to formally apologize and seek forgiveness.
"Tia, thank you so much for today."
Sora thanked her softly.
"As the Vice President of the Student Council, protecting students is what I should do."
Tia waved her hand, not taking it to heart.
"Those two bullies are clearly still unresigned." Sora recalled their looks and gently reminded her. "If you encounter any danger, tell me immediately. I will appear by Tia's side as quickly as possible."
"Eh?"
Tia blinked. For some reason, her pretty face suddenly flushed rapidly red. Flustered, she averted her gaze:
"I-I know... I'm leaving first."
Everything was settled.
Before going to change clothes and eat, there was one more thing to take care of.
"Elf, let's go."
Sora softly called to the blonde loli and turned to leave the office.
Elf had been in an invisible state the entire time, following beside him without ever leaving.
"We'll go to the rooftop first to help you purify the side effects. There shouldn't be anyone on the roof right now."
Sora organized things methodically, talking as they walked:
"After the purification is done, everyone will go eat Nanyue cuisine together."
"Hmph~"
Yamada Elf crossed her arms over her chest, giving a light snort upon hearing this, kicking her feet as she walked forward.
The two, one in front of the other, quickly arrived at the rooftop.
Without any surprises.
The rooftop was indeed completely empty, not a single person in sight.
Sora walked over to a bench and sat down, then extended his right hand toward Elf:
"Let's start the purification."
Yamada Elf lifted her proud chin, strode over, and sat directly on Sora's lap.
"Elf-sama, you're sitting in the wrong place."
Sora reminded her.
"I am not sitting in the wrong place." Yamada Elf lifted her chin, speaking plausibly. "Daring to betray your master, you must accept the punishment of being a human chair."
"Why haven't I heard of this rule?"
"It didn't exist before, it does now."
Yamada Elf shifted her small butt, her cheeks puffed out, angry and unhappy:
"I saw everything just now, Idiot Servant actually kissed Mahiru..."
"Damn it!"
The more Yamada Elf spoke, the angrier she got, her small head directly bumping against Sora's chin.
Thump.
"Idiot Servant is clearly my property!"
Sora remained unfazed:
"Don't stay up late at night, your eyes are playing tricks on you."
"My eyes are not playing tricks! I saw it perfectly clearly!" Yamada Elf's pink cheeks puffed up high, very angry. "Idiot Servant is a thieving cat!"
Hey, hey, we aren't even dating, it doesn't count as stealing, alright!
"I'm going to brand Servant right now..."
Yamada Elf's small face was completely red, leaning forward and getting closer.
"What are you going to do?"
Sensing something was wrong, Sora leaned back.
Unfortunately, the back of the bench was right behind him, there was completely nowhere to hide.
"Don't hide!"
Yamada Elf's small face was already flushed, her eyelashes trembling lightly. Her eyes contained only a little bit of shyness, mostly it was eagerness to try:
"It's not like we haven't kissed before. We kissed on the rooftop last time."
Last time didn't count as a kiss, it could only be called an accident, just like CPR definitely doesn't count as a kiss, right!
"This is this lady's punishment for Servant, Idiot Servant must obediently accept it."
You call this a punishment?
It's clearly a reward, alright!
Yamada Elf took a deep breath and kissed him directly.
The girl's movements were clumsy and green, completely lacking any technique. Sora inexplicably felt a subtle sensation of being rooted up by a pig.
But compared to Angel-sama, Elf clearly had much less sense of shame. Her desire to explore and thirst for knowledge were very strong, and she actually wasn't shy at all, but firmly took the initiative.
Several minutes later.
Elf, who was almost out of breath, finally couldn't hold on any longer. She pressed a hand against Sora's chest and tilted her head back.
Pop~
With a soft sound, the girl's rapid breathing instantly echoed on the rooftop.
"Hah... haha..."
Yamada Elf's pink lips were slightly parted, panting lightly, her eyes misty:
"So this is what kissing feels like... so comfortable..."
"The purification is complete."
Sora wiped the corner of his mouth and gently patted Elf's back:
"Hurry up and get up, go change clothes."
"My body has absolutely no strength left, let me rest for a bit~"
The blonde loli leaned softly against Sora's embrace. Her voice was sweet and cloying, sounding clearly like she was acting spoiled.
"I-Is this my voice?"
Yamada Elf startled herself. While feeling shy, her curiosity grew even stronger, and she looked over with expectant eyes:
"Idiot Servant, let's do it again?"
Sora: "..."
Oh no.
Did Elf get addicted to it?
"Kiss me again... no, punish Servant once more." Yamada Elf's eyes sparkled, and she kissed him again. "After molding Servant into my shape, we'll go downstairs."
Sora: "..."
What do you mean 'mold into your shape'?
Did you secretly read terrible manga!
A moment later.
Sora held the hand of the limp Elf as they walked down from the rooftop, and then went their separate ways.
Elf went to the girls' club room to change clothes, while Sora returned to the classroom to change.
"I'm back."
Yamada Elf quietly returned to the club room. She saw the club room was already empty, everyone basically having left, leaving only Anna and Kuroneko.
"Elf is back?"
Anna went to meet her, then spoke the words she had prepared long ago:
"Did you give the video you took to Tia?"
"I already gave it to Tia..."
Halfway through speaking, Yamada Elf suddenly realized something, her beautiful eyes widening rapidly:
"Wait, Anna also remembers the time rewind?"
(...Time really did rewind!)
Hearing Elf's words, Anna no longer had a shred of doubt in her heart.
(The content in the diary was indeed written by 'me'!)
(So that means... is time going to rewind again later?)
Anna's pretty face flushed red, thinking about how she should write in her diary later so as not to lose to 'herself':
"My stomach hurts, I'm going to the restroom for a bit."
Before she finished speaking, Anna had already scurried out of the club room.
"Time rewind?"
Kuroneko's ears twitched slightly, looking over curiously:
"What did Anna mean by what she just said?"
"Ah, I forgot Ruri doesn't have her previous memories..."
Yamada Elf hesitated for two seconds, quickly and happily starting to gossip.
Servant and Mahiru didn't ask me to keep it a secret, so it's definitely fine to tell Ruri, right?
