They all have hidden attributes!

"I need nothing but you. You fill my heart, until death do us part."

"Cheng, love is as great as death. I will always stand by your side. Please don't ignore me."

She inadvertently revealed what Makoto Takahashi was thinking.

The whisper reached his ears, and he immediately held his breath, his heart pounded wildly, and his body visibly stiffened.

The impact of this statement was so strong that it caused the brain to refuse to understand its meaning for a moment.

Makoto Takahashi let out a soft breath, propped himself up, and looked at Junko Shiraishi. A charming and gentle smile appeared on her beautiful and delicate face, leaving everyone speechless.

A strong impulse surged in his chest, and the emotions welling up in his heart drew him to reach out, obeying the desire in his heart.

"...Chun Ke."

Makoto Takahashi kissed the beautifully curved snow neck, and Junko Shiraishi raised her flushed face, her voice suddenly becoming coquettish: "What...is wrong?"

"I like you."

"I love you, Cheng."

......

dong dong——

A knock sounded on the door, and Shiraishi Junka's misty, wine-red eyes were filled with a watery light of doubt.

"Sister Chunke, are you there?"

Hanakawa Kaori's clear, girlish voice rang out from outside the door, and Takahashi Makoto remained silent.

I almost forgot, Hanakawa Kaori doesn't like to sleep at night.

What is she doing coming over in the middle of the night?

What's with the teacher accompanying the school trip? How could she let her run out of the hotel alone in the middle of the night? He thought impatiently as he kissed Shiraishi Junka's delicate collarbone.

"Junko-nee? Are you asleep?" Hanakawa Kaori knocked on the door again.

Shiraishi Junka hugged Takahashi Makoto's head tightly, brushed aside a few strands of long black hair stuck to her face with her other hand, and parted her red lips slightly, uttering a hoarse voice: "...Not yet."

Makoto Takahashi stared wide-eyed, raising his face to meet her gaze.

"We're about to tell ghost stories, do you want to play with us?" Hanakawa Kaori asked.

"No," Shiraishi Junko refused.

Makoto Takahashi pretended not to hear.

"I want to talk to you," came Maya Uesugi's cold voice from outside the door.

Makoto Takahashi's expression froze on his face, while Junka Shiraishi wore a happy expression, as if she wanted to accept everything about him, and hugged Makoto Takahashi tightly.

"I'm sleepy tomorrow."

"Isn't Chun Ke still awake?" Hanakawa Kaori asked.

"...You woke me up."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"...It's okay, see you tomorrow."

Outside the door, Kashima Reiko, who hadn't said a word, felt that Shiraishi Junko's voice, which sounded like a dying swan, was somewhat familiar. She tried to recall it carefully for a long time but couldn't find the memory. She then turned around and left with Hanakawa Kaori and Uesugi Maya.

Chapter 152 Bear, Danger!

"I understand, Makoto doesn't only like me."

With an extremely relaxed expression, Shiraishi Junka leaned against Takahashi Makoto's chest, her long black hair cascading down: "As long as I have the right to love you, that's enough."

Under the bright lights, the two lay side by side, the white folds of the sheets filled with a moist, rose-colored scent, accompanied by a perfect sense of languor.

Makoto Takahashi slowly opened his eyes, feeling a sense of fulfillment and relief, and was in a rather pleasant mood.

He looked down at Shiraishi Junka's charming face, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a sense of peace and happiness could be clearly seen in her beautiful wine-red eyes.

"...So warm."

Shiraishi Junko raised their clasped hands, her shy, husky voice easily shaking Takahashi Makoto's rationality: "Big and sturdy, unlike mine."

As she spoke, she leaned her whole body against him, reaching out to hug him and filling the space between their bodies.

Her pale red lips emitted a soft yet clear voice, distinct and warm.

"like."

The breath brushed against the lips and stirred the ends of the hair.

Faced with such a dangerous senior, Makoto Takahashi must stay on high alert in order to suppress the urge to break free from the cage of reason.

"I think I'll go back tonight." He sat up straight and got out of bed.

Shiraishi Junko is skilled at teasing, but she has poor stamina and seems very fragile; even touching her fair and slender fingers makes one feel uneasy.

Makoto Takahashi couldn't bring himself to treat her roughly, so he could only temporarily distance himself from the temptation.

A system panel pops up in front of you.

You deeply realize that she is both vulnerable and obsessed with it.

[Reward: Lv.4 Throwing Mastery]

[Weakness Type: When playing together, there is a small chance to trigger Friendship Training, resulting in a slight increase in all attributes]

The assistance card I obtained when I first met Shiraishi Junka has only now had its hidden attributes unlocked.

Recalling the idyllic and beautiful scenes of the talented senior artists in the art club in the small studio, Makoto Takahashi's already pleasant mood was filled with joy.

Get some rest.

He finished dressing, turned around and looked at Shiraishi Junka with gentle eyes: "I might not have much time tomorrow, goodnight."

"Good night."

There was no need to instruct her on keeping it a secret; Shiraishi Junko would take her situation into consideration. The only thing she needed to worry about was getting Tachibana Yuki's approval as soon as possible.

After helping her turn off the lights and closing the door, Makoto Takahashi walked through the corridor and left via the emergency staircase.

Stepping out of the hotel, a chilly night wind swept over me.

Sapporo is still awake. On both sides of the street, izakayas, convenience stores, love hotels, adult shops... colorful lights dispel the silence of the night.

On the taxi ride back to the hotel, my restless heart couldn't calm down.

Let's go back and take another shower.

With that feeling in mind, I walked into the hotel lobby and happened to run into Hanakawa Kaori buying bottled water at the front desk.

She was wearing a long-sleeved tracksuit and pants. When she saw Makoto Takahashi return from outside, she didn't make a fuss. She just blinked and gave him a mischievous smile.

"Ah, brother, Sister Maya isn't asleep either. She's staying up all night writing her research report."

"Another all-nighter?"

Makoto Takahashi habitually raised his wrist, then suddenly felt a little empty. Looking down, he realized his watch was left in Junka Shiraishi's room.

He took out his phone, and the screen showed that it was past midnight.

"I'm going to sleep right away, I won't be a third wheel."

Hanakawa Kaori waved and ran lightly toward the elevator, her swaying purple highlights particularly eye-catching:

“Sapporo has many places suitable for nighttime outings. I’ll send the photos to my brother as soon as I get my phone back.”

Nighttime stroll in Sapporo?

That sounds like a bad idea.

However, considering that Tachimi Yuki might come at any time, if she and Uesugi Maya clash tomorrow, going out for a night trip tonight would be a better option.

Makoto Takahashi turned and walked towards the emergency exit, climbed the stairs back to his room, took off his clothes, washed away his fatigue, and took out new clothes from his suitcase to put on. By then, Hanakawa Kaori had already sent him a late-night travel guide.

In addition, there is one more piece of information.

[Judging from Lengzi's performance tonight, Xing will most likely arrive in Sapporo tomorrow morning.]

I see, well done, Hanaori!

She knew that Makoto Takahashi needed to spend time alone with Maya Uesugi, which is why she gave her advice.

Takahashi Makoto roused himself, went downstairs to the door of Uesugi Maya and Kashima Reiko's room, took out his phone, and sent a message to Uesugi Maya.

[Takahashi: Shall we go on a date?]

[Maya: Now?]

[Takahashi: From Mt. Moiwa, you can see the entire Ishikari Plain at night. There's also an aquarium that stays open late. If you get tired, you can rest at a bar, and you can also go to Nijo Market to eat the freshest seafood.]

[Maya: I knew Rikka would be coming tomorrow]

Upon seeing this message, Takahashi Makoto turned around decisively, intending to go back to his room to sleep.

[Maya: Wait for me a moment]

He stopped, leaned against the corridor wall, and silently praised Uesugi Maya's greatness.

A few minutes later, the door beside her opened softly, and Uesugi Maya, dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the room, drawing everyone's attention.

Her smooth, glossy black hair fell naturally over her shoulders, highlighting her fair and delicate face. A black turtleneck sweater and black trousers accentuated her beautiful figure, and she wore a black wool coat that reached below her knees.

With no superfluous embellishments, only high-quality clothing, she exudes a cool, elegant, and calm feeling, like delicate snowflakes foreshadowing the approaching winter.

"Why didn't you come out with us when Hanaori came to find you?" Uesugi Maya asked, her hands in her coat pockets as she walked toward the elevator.

Takahashi Makoto walked alongside her, casually making up an excuse: "I'm a little sleepy, and I didn't think you'd play along with her nonsense."

"I originally wanted to go find Shiraishi."

"Want to chat with her? In the middle of the night?"

"Tell her to think it over carefully and stay away from you."

"How awful, Yoru."

The two took the elevator downstairs. Horikita, the supervisor of Class 1A, carried a chair and sat in the corner of the elevator hall. Takahashi Makoto walked over, reported his whereabouts, and said that he was going to the aquarium.
