Free Web NovelChapter 496: BCL Chapter 491 Soyo: Mom, you’re going to be a grandmother!
First, Kitahara had Hana send Kita back, then he returned with Hitori.
"Makoto-kun, welcome back."
Mutsumi’s voice was the first to sound.
"I’m back."
Kitahara greeted her. There was no need to tell Mutsumi about the abnormal incident for now.
"Eat cucumbers?"
Mutsumi looked over with anticipation in her eyes.
"Not for now," Kitahara waved his hand, "I’ll take Hitori back first."
Kita had gone home directly through the mirror earlier, as her parents hadn’t returned from work yet and the house was temporarily empty. But Hitori couldn’t do that; Futari and Mrs. Goto were both home, so she had to stop by Kitahara’s house first before walking back.
"Hitori, let’s go."
Kitahara stepped towards the door.
"Oh..."
Hitori quickly followed with small steps.
The two came outside.
The evening breeze was cool.
The moonlight was like water.
The Commercial Street was still brightly lit, but the night in the residential area had quietly settled down.
"Hitori, do you want to ride a bicycle back, or walk?"
Kitahara asked softly.
Hitori looked up at him, her voice faint:
"I, I can do either..."
"Then let’s walk back," Kitahara decided, "Riding a bicycle gets us there in a blink, but walking allows me to spend more time with Hitori."
"Ah..."
Hitori’s face quickly flushed red, and she nervously lowered her head to look at her toes.
Kitahara extended his right hand and held Hitori’s soft hand, feeling the girl’s fingers were cool and exceptionally soft.
"It, it will be seen..."
Hitori’s body trembled slightly. She dared not pull away, only able to look up shyly with a flushed face.
"Hitori, don’t worry, my eyesight is super good," Kitahara promised, "If anyone appears, I’ll let go of your hand immediately."
"Oh..."
Seeing that Hitori didn’t object, Kitahara simply held Hitori’s hand and walked forward.
"Hitori, were you scared today?"
"No, no..."
"You say no, but your face was pale with fright then."
"..."
Hitori was speechless.
The scene at the time was indeed terrifying. For Hitori, who had never even killed a fish, she was trembling all over.
"Hitori, go back first, then come back tonight to soak in the onsen."
Kitahara said softly.
Hitori instinctively wanted to refuse, because as a hidden Oppai alien, when soaking in the onsen together, she always felt secretly stared at, which made her super shy:
"That..."
Kitahara said seriously:
"Hitori doesn’t want to have nightmares tonight, right?"
"Eh?"
"Seeing that terrifying scene, it’s highly likely you’ll have nightmares."
(Will I have nightmares tonight?)
(No, no way!)
(That scene has been in my mind, unable to be shaken off. Maybe I really will have a terrifying nightmare, where I become the victim and am chased... That kind of thing is so scary! Absolutely not!)
Seeing Hitori’s eyes widen in panic, Kitahara smiled:
"Of course, I definitely won’t force Hitori. If you don’t want to come, that’s fine too... What do you say, Hitori?"
Hitori stammered, her face flushed:
"I, I want to soak in the onsen..."
Although soaking in the onsen together was embarrassing, compared to nightmares at night, it suddenly became acceptable.
"Louder," Kitahara leaned his ear closer, "I didn’t hear you clearly."
Hitori: "...You’re bullying me."
The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they arrived at the intersection where the cats used to fight.
"What a pity."
Kitahara suddenly sighed.
"Hmm?"
Hitori looked up in confusion.
Kitahara sighed:
"It’s a pity we didn’t encounter those two cats fighting at the intersection today."
Hearing Kitahara mention the cat fight, Hitori’s thoughts were instantly pulled back several months ago.
It was also night then, Kitahara-kun was walking her home, and they encountered two super fierce cats fighting at this intersection. She was afraid of being accidentally hurt, so she suggested taking the alley. As a result, in the alley, they met a strange woman in a windbreaker, and then... then she had her first kiss with a boy in her life...
The scene she thought had quietly faded away now became vivid again, one after another.
The temperature on Hitori’s face rapidly rose, and she shyly lowered her head to look at her toes.
Kitahara became interested:
"Although there are no cats blocking the way and fighting, it doesn’t prevent us from revisiting the old place."
"Eh?"
"Let’s go back through the alley."
Kitahara led Hitori and stepped into the alley.
Hitori’s face was burning hot; she couldn’t say no at all, lowering her head and letting Kitahara lead her forward.
They hadn’t walked far when Kitahara stopped:
"The location is correct, it’s right here."
Hitori quietly raised her head, her peach blossom eyes looking around through her long bangs, and quickly remembered what had happened at this spot.
(It’s the place where I first kissed Kitahara-kun...)
Slap.
Kitahara raised his right hand and pressed it directly against Hitori’s ear, pinning Hitori against the wall:
"At that time, to avoid startling the woman in the windbreaker, I kissed Hitori without even saying hello. Every time I think about it, I’m scared, what if Hitori hated me, what if she never spoke to me again..."
"I, I didn’t hate you..."
Hitori quickly shook her head.
Kitahara smiled:
"So now we need to make up for that regret, starting with Hitori’s consent... I want to kiss Hitori, Hitori-sama, may I kiss you?"
"Tha, that..."
Hitori’s face was flushed and burning, her gaze drifting, not daring to meet Kitahara’s eyes.
"I like Hitori."
"Ah..."
"I super like Hitori-sama."
"..."
(No!)
(Confessions like that, you only need to say them once... Don’t be so unfair!)
"Hitori, are you willing to let me kiss you?"
Kitahara’s voice continued:
"If you don’t say anything, then I’ll assume Hitori hates me."
(How, how could I possibly say something so embarrassing!)
The two words "I’m willing" were on her lips, but she couldn’t utter them no matter what.
Hitori’s face was burning hot; she could only muster her courage and express her attitude through action.
Taking a deep breath.
Hitori forced herself to resist the urge to shyly lower her head. Her long eyelashes trembled nervously, she tightly closed her eyes, and then shyly looked up.
Kitahara smiled, no longer teasing Hitori, and lowered his head to gently taste the girl’s soft, sweet, lips.
Thump-thump-thump~
Hitori clearly heard her heartbeat quicken, as if a small animal was wildly scrambling inside her.
Her head quickly became dizzy. In a trance, Hitori suddenly remembered the emotions from her first kiss: panic, shyness, feeling pitifully small and helpless.
But now...
It felt very comfortable. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Very happy.
She wanted to keep kissing, never stop.
A moment later.
With a soft ’pop’ sound, Kitahara and Hitori finally separated.
"Huu... huu..."
The girl’s rapid breathing immediately echoed in the alley.
"Hitori’s lung capacity is too poor," Kitahara rubbed Hitori’s head, "You need to exercise more in the future."
Hitori’s face was flushed and burning, her eyes moist and watery. Hearing this, her tone was resentful:
"You, you were the one who kissed for too long, Kitahara-kun..."
"One more kiss."
"No, no! If I don’t go back, mom will worry!"
"..."
At the same time.
At the Ijichi home.
Seika had just finished bathing and was being helped back to her room by Nijika and Ryo.
"Sister, are you really not going to drink the panacea?"
Nijika was quite tired, placing her hands on her hips and saying:
"I feel like your injury is very serious."
"Absolutely not drinking that stuff!"
Seika bit her teeth and flatly refused:
It’s just a backache. A night’s rest should be enough. When I was in high school, I once fell off the parallel bars during a PE class. My back hurt terribly then, but after sleeping at home, I was perfectly fine the next day.
Nijika said speechlessly, "Sister was still very young back then, and her body recovered quickly. Now she’s already..."
"Hmm?"
Seika smiled, narrowing her eyes, "Am I old now?"
"Of course not, Sister is not old at all. Everyone says you look like a university student." Nijika quickly raised her hand to cover her lips, then turned and fled, "Well, Sister, you rest well tonight. I’m going to take a bath first. Message me if anything happens."
"Hmph~"
Seika softly hummed, then boredly lay down on the bed.
Ryo stepped forward and said casually, "Do you want me to give the convenience store Manager a massage? It should make you feel more comfortable."
Seika was surprised, "Ryo knows how to massage?"
Ryo said lightly, "Well, my parents run a hospital after all, so I occasionally learn some useful skills."
Seika hesitated for two seconds, then softly said, "Then I’ll trouble Ryo to give me a massage."
"Leave it to me."
Ryo gave a thumbs-up, then took off the black band bracelet from her wrist and casually placed it next to Seika’s pillow.
It must be said that Ryo wasn’t just talking big; she really had some skills. Under her massage, Seika clearly felt her back become much more comfortable.
However, after not long, Ryo stopped.
"Eh, is that it?"
Seika reluctantly turned her head.
"Massage can only relieve, not cure." Ryo’s tone was calm, "Continuing to press won’t have a better effect... I’ll go out first."
"Alright then." Seika said with regret, "Ryo, go rest."
"See you tomorrow, Manager-chan."
Ryo glanced at the black bracelet next to the pillow, then casually turned and left.
After waiting a while in the living room, Nijika quickly came out after her bath.
Ryo put down her phone, "Nijika, it’s about time to go to the onsen."
"Um... how about we talk about it tomorrow?"
Nijika’s pretty face quickly flushed upon hearing this, naturally knowing what would happen if they went to the onsen tonight.
"Tomorrow and tomorrow, tomorrow is endless." Ryo slowly said, "Besides, it’s just soaking in the onsen. Nijika, there’s no need to be shy."
Nijika: "..."
It sounded good, but once they went, it definitely wouldn’t be as simple as just soaking in the onsen!
However, thinking of Kitahara’s kindness today, Nijika lightly bit her teeth, and finally, with a flushed face, followed Ryo towards the mirror.
Such a great kindness indeed needed to be repaid as soon as possible...
"Hana-chan?"
Upon reaching the mirror, Nijika softly called Hana’s name.
Ripples quickly appeared on the mirror’s surface, and Hana emerged, then took Nijika and Ryo away.
Arriving at the Kitahara household, the two discovered that there were quite a lot of girls soaking in the onsen today.
Besides the two of them, Kita had already arrived, Hitori was also present, and then there were Tomori, Soyo, Sakiko, Taki, Anon... It could be said that everyone except Mai had basically come.
"Excellent, everyone is here." Kitahara stood up, "Let’s go to the onsen."
A moment later.
In the corner of the onsen pool.
"Taki, you look very unwell. Are you alright?"
Soyo asked with concern.
Taki’s tone was particularly resentful, "This is your body, not my body."
Soyo’s tone was innocent, "But Taki said before that you would never switch bodies back in this lifetime."
Taki: "..."
That was just angry talk, okay? Don’t take it seriously!
Taki took a deep breath, gritting her teeth and saying, "No later than tomorrow, I absolutely must switch bodies back!"
She had spent the entire morning searching for various pregnancy-related knowledge, discovering that nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite were just the most basic challenges, and that she would experience all sorts of hardships later on. So, she finally made up her mind that she absolutely had to switch bodies back!
Being taken advantage of only required enduring for half an hour, but if she didn’t switch bodies back, she would have to suffer for a full ten months. Even an idiot would know how to choose.
Soyo blinked, lowering her voice and saying, "But to switch bodies back, you have to do that kind of thing with Kitahara-kun."
Taki’s heart raced, her face flushed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "It’s all because you guys didn’t pay attention to safety at all!"
"Eh?"
Soyo was startled, genuinely puzzled this time, "What is Taki talking about?"
Taki’s sudden change in attitude must be related to the Wish Note, but how could it be related to safety?
"Ugh..."
A wave of nausea and the urge to vomit surged up again. Taki quickly took a deep breath, her eyes extremely resentful, "Did Soyo not feel anything at all before?"
Soyo asked curiously, "What feeling?"
Taki said resentfully, "Nausea, wanting to vomit, loss of appetite, suddenly craving sour things..."
The more Soyo listened, the more familiar it sounded, and she lightly pursed her lips, "Could it be a sickness?"
"It’s not sickness..." Taki covered her lower abdomen with her right hand, her voice faint, "I’m pregnant."
Keep it a secret?
Of course, it shouldn’t be a secret.
This was Soyo’s body, Soyo’s baby. Anyway, Soyo would definitely know once the body was switched back, so there was no problem in telling her in advance.
"...Wh-what?"
Soyo stared blankly with wide, beautiful eyes, her mind a blank.
"I said..." Taki covered her lower abdomen, "Soyo, you have a baby in your belly. I already tested it this morning with a special tool."
"Eh eh eh eh eh?!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Soyo finally came back to her senses, letting out an incredulous gasp.
(Taki is actually pregnant?)
(Wait a minute, that’s my body, so that means it’s my baby?)
(Mom... you’re going to be a grandmother!)
