Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Unsurprisingly, after Gao Hai said that, the girls' mental state immediately became more volatile.

Chapter 86: The "Fluid Exchange" Process Between Takami and Goto Ichiri

{So, Ahai, you think the reason you haven't been able to establish a mental link with Kaguya using the Black Watch is because your emotional connection isn't deep enough? And for Goto, it's because the crucial step of bodily fluid exchange is missing?}

After a brief fluctuation in the mental link, Chika quickly realized that Gao Hai had no such intentions and immediately asked him to reveal his true purpose.

{What?! Can't you just say it normally? Why do you have to use such an easily misunderstood way of saying it...}

Zhenfei's dissatisfied voice followed in the mental link. To be honest, she was a little frightened when she heard Gao Hai say those words. She was wondering if Gao Hai had a strong urge to satisfy his desires as soon as possible because of the pressure of surviving in the dungeon.

If Chika hadn't been the first to react and ask for the specific reason, Maki would probably have already been ready to help Takami vent his anger. But there's nothing that can be done about it. Compared to Chika, Maki is still relatively simple-minded when it comes to these kinds of issues. Even though she's no longer a completely innocent girl in her thinking, she still sometimes can't quite grasp things.

Of course, Gao Hai also enjoyed Maki's dazed and clueless nature, her insistence on going along with him despite not quite understanding. Especially during playtime, when he and Chika were guiding her, he felt a strange sense of pleasure in gradually dragging the innocent little flower into the abyss of depravity. Of course, despite saying that, Gao Hai didn't actually teach Maki anything particularly advanced. The more stimulating methods were mostly used when he and Chika were alone.

Well, we've gotten a bit off-topic. We're still in the dungeon, doing serious things, so let's not think about those things for now.

Thinking this, Takami turned around and saw Goto Ichiri walking up to him with a nervous expression and extending her small hand.

It was clear that the other person was quite nervous.

However, considering what he was about to do, feeling nervous was not a big deal. In fact, even Gao Hai was a little nervous at the moment, especially with You Dao's gaze fixed on him, which made him even more nervous.

{Stare——~}

Kita Ikuyo was watching Takami.

Although Kita had been shocked and somewhat excited by the gossip when she heard that Takami planned to exchange bodily fluids with Ichiri not long ago, she quickly realized that Takami had approached her friend and her attitude changed drastically. She began to treat Takami with a critical and scrutinizing attitude.

{So, Mr. Gao, even without any actual intimate actions, you've already established a very close relationship with Pochi-chan, is that right? Doesn't this contradict your previous statement that you wouldn't make a move on Pochi-chan?}

Kita asked this question in a serious tone.

I don't see any contradiction. Ichiri and I cooperated and assisted each other as comrades-in-arms, fighting together to fulfill our noble wish of saving others. In the process, we developed a harmonious and loving relationship, almost like family. I believe such a pure comradeship shouldn't be viewed simply as romantic love. Therefore, I haven't done or said anything wrong. Ms. Kita, your question is completely unreasonable.

Gao Hai's answer was very serious and earnest.

{Hmm... After spending so much time together, I don't really know what to say anymore. But Boqi-chan is, after all, an important friend of mine. Please, Mr. Gao, treat her well.}

However, although there was nothing wrong with Gao Hai's answer, Kita still stubbornly believed that he had the idea of ​​taking action against Ichiri. Although she was not wrong, Gao Hai felt that it was too rude to think like that before he actually took any action. After all, he hadn't done anything yet, had he? But it was not appropriate to continue arguing with this girl about this issue at this moment, so Gao Hai didn't say anything more and just focused his attention on Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri had already closed his eyes.

Her body trembled slightly as she held her hand up to Gao Hai's lips, her head turned to the side, seemingly too scared and shy to look at him.

Between her outstretched palms, one could see crimson bloodstains, the blood flowing from when Ichiri deliberately cut her palm, breaking the skin. The wound itself was no longer visible; as a Red Moon-level player, Ichiri possessed a self-healing ability far exceeding that of humans, so such minor cuts healed automatically in less than a minute. At this moment, only a small amount of still-wet blood remained on her palms, nothing more.

"So, shall we begin?"

Gao Hai looked at Yi Li's expression and was slightly troubled.

Is she trying to get me to lick her hand?

Seeing that Yili nodded slightly but remained standing still with her eyes closed, Gao Hai hesitated for a moment before lowering his head and leaning closer.

He reached out and grasped the girl's slender fingers.

After becoming a player, Ichiri's physical abilities improved, and the calluses on his hands, which he had developed from years of playing guitar, all fell off. His fingers felt as delicate and smooth as a baby's, making them irresistible to touch.

If he could, Gao Hai would like to savor and play with it carefully, but now is not the right time. So, after grabbing the girl's outstretched fingers with both hands, he pressed his lips to the bloodstains on her palm and gently sucked on them.

"Woo..."

Yili's body trembled slightly, her eyes tightly closed, her cheeks flushed, and she let out a mournful cry.

Gao Hai could taste a faint metallic flavor in his mouth. Although he was quite interested in licking the girl's hand, he had to admit that drinking blood wasn't very enjoyable. Gao Hai wasn't a vampire, after all, and couldn't taste anything pleasant in this liquid. So he quickened his pace, sticking out his tongue and licking Yi Li's hand again and again, swallowing all the blood flowing from her cut hand.

"Woo... Wu..."

Yili's entire face was flushed red. Under the continuous stimulation of the palm, she was swaying and looked like she couldn't even stand up.

"rerorerorerororeroro~"

Amidst the girl's mournful cries, Gao Hai had to admit he was starting to enjoy licking, even licking the blood a few more times after finishing. Of course, because someone was watching him, he reluctantly let go in the end. The pink-haired girl, immediately released, took a large step back, squatted down, and gasped for breath. Looking at her flushed face, an outsider might have thought Gao Hai had sexually assaulted her.

In terms of specific actions, it seems almost the same as indecent assault...

{It feels so strange...}

Kita Ikudai, who witnessed the entire process, had a complex expression. She realized that the longer she stayed inside Takami's body, the more enthusiastic she seemed to be about "watching the drama unfold." She even subconsciously found it amusing to watch Ichiri's hand being licked by Takami, thinking Ichiri's reaction was similar to Maki's when Takami teased her. However, after snapping out of her spectator mode, and remembering that Ichiri was her good friend, Kita felt a strange mix of emotions—a complex sense of guilt and unease.

Hmm... I think I've got a new idea~

Chika, who was also watching, had a slight smile on her lips. She didn't find the exchange of bodily fluids between Takami and Ichiri particularly special, after all, she had tried many things far more intense than that. However, from Ichiri's reaction, she sensed that this behavior might be even more stimulating for shy girls than some unusual games, and might even become a brand new game idea, so she became slightly excited.

"Anyway, thank you very much, cough cough no, now it's my turn."

Gao Hai, who almost blurted out his true thoughts, looked slightly embarrassed, but he quickly forced himself to regain his composure and tore off the tip of his right index finger with his teeth.

The pain from the pain in his fingers was now so intense that Gao Hai wouldn't even flinch. So even though his fingers were bleeding profusely, he remained expressionless and calmly extended them towards Yi Li.

"I understand, I will do my best."

Yili's expression was very serious. She took several deep breaths before stepping forward, holding Gao Hai's outstretched hands, and then slightly opened her mouth.

Carefully, she gently took Gao Hai's fingertips into her mouth. During the process, she seemed a little afraid of hurting Gao Hai, so she quietly raised her head to look at Gao Hai's expression. When she saw that he was also staring at her, she quickly looked away.

Then, the girl's lips moved slightly, and she put Gao Hai's entire index finger into her mouth. Her warm tongue gently touched Gao Hai's finger, and then she began to suck the blood from the finger and swallow it.

"Gulu..."

Perhaps due to some nervousness and anxiety, Ichiri's swallowing sounds were slightly louder.

Gao Hai remained silent, simply feeling the sensation of his fingers inside the girl's mouth.

It's hot, wet, and itchy.

Something feels a little strange, like the atmosphere has become odd. Is it just my imagination?

"Wow~"

Chika couldn't help but speak up.

{This... Pokemon...}

Kita's eyes widened. At that moment, she felt as if she were getting to know her friend all over again, and she could hardly believe her eyes.

Is this really the Boqi-chan I know?

Pochi-chan, timid and shy like a little animal, who likes to hide herself and has a hard time talking to anyone. Now… now she can actually do this, sucking on a boy's finger while timidly staring at him, making this incredibly suggestive gesture…

Pochi-chan, has she unknowingly entered a realm I've never personally experienced?!

"Coo...Coo-choo..."

You can hear the faint sound of saliva flowing as your tongue rubs against your fingers.

Goto Ichiri had already focused.

Although this was incredibly shameful for the girl, once she decided to do it, she tried her best to concentrate completely. At this point, she completely ignored Gao Hai and the two onlookers, and began wholeheartedly licking, sucking, and swallowing the blood from Gao Hai's fingers.

Although the girl herself may not have intentionally wanted to achieve any effect, it was precisely her unintentional seriousness that brought a stronger impact.

Originally, due to the long time they fought side by side during the final playthrough of Yoruyama Middle School, Takami could hardly see Goto Ichiri as a member of the opposite sex anymore. Emotionally, he was close to seeing her as "family." At this moment, he felt a long-lost surge of excitement, so much so that he wanted to say something like "I'm going to go for it" to Sekiro.

However, in the end, he managed to control his emotions and took the initiative to remind Yili, who was too focused, to stop.

"Well, that's about enough. We just need to complete the [fluid exchange]. So swallowing a mouthful of blood should be enough to meet the requirements."

As Gao Hai spoke, he gently pulled his finger out of the girl's mouth.

Somewhat absorbed in the moment, even though she had stopped moving because of Gao Hai's words, her tongue still unconsciously entwined around Gao Hai's fingers.

As a result, when Gao Hai pulled his finger out, Yi Li also opened his mouth slightly and stuck out his tongue.

The crystalline threads stretched out in mid-air, like two small hands holding the girl's tongue and Gao Hai's index finger, trying to reconnect the two.

However, as the thin thread was quickly stretched and broken, Goto Ichiri fully regained consciousness. She stood there blankly, stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her head, met Takami's gaze, and then completely lost control of her expression, turning around abruptly and running away.

"call……"

Gao Hai only let out a long sigh of relief after Yili disappeared from sight.

{It seems Ah Hai is somewhat tempted; this type seems to suit his taste quite well~}

Having completely seen through Gao Hai's wavering emotions, Qianhua covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing him in the mental link.

{Is that really Pochi-chan...?}

Kita Ikuyo, who never expected her companion to display such a subversive charm, will probably be going to be withdrawn for a while.

In any case, the process of exchanging bodily fluids between He Yili and Yili has been completed.

Whether it will work or not remains to be seen until the next playthrough, but Takahashi has a vague feeling that it should work between him and Ichiri. Even if his relationship with this girl doesn't develop as deeply as that of Maki, Chika, and Miko, the absolute trust between them is enough to meet the basic requirements for establishing a connection.

As for Hayasaka... we've had one discussion so far, and there should be some progress, so the next thing to consider is Kaguya.

Thinking this, Takahashi turned around and looked around. Then he saw Kaguya Shinomiya standing not far away, her eyes wide, her cheeks flushed, and her fists clenched.

Great, everything is in place here too.

{Yo, Kaguya, you've arrived.}

Gao Hai waved and greeted them via the temporary mental link.

{Gao Jun, um, um, do I have to do that kind of thing too? Or like before, with another one...}

Kaguya, who clearly misunderstood something, took a step back and pointed at Takahashi's index finger, which was still covered in saliva, her voice filled with shock.

Chapter 87: The Issue of Emotional Communication Between Takami and Kaguya Shinomiya

To be honest, when Kaguya heard Takahashi say he wanted to deepen their relationship through the temporary mental link, she was actually a little at a loss.

As someone who only managed to take the final step in her relationship with Takami right before the start of the fourth instance, and who was essentially dragged along by her companion Hayasaka to complete this crucial step—a situation that was embarrassing in many ways—Kaguya was more or less aware that her relationship with Takami wasn't going smoothly. However, despite knowing full well that things couldn't continue like this, Kaguya's personality prevented her from taking any initiative to be intimate.

According to Kaguya's own plan, although she might not admit it, she would most likely continue the ambiguous relationship. She might occasionally take the initiative to invite Takami on a date, but more likely she would try to imply through various means that Takami would take her on a date.

Therefore, she had no idea what was going on at this moment.
