As for casting another water spell... his mental energy is already exhausted, and casting another one would only make him faint.
So Kiyono Makoto decided to grit his teeth and tough it out with his body.
The set's active effect hasn't been turned off yet; it can at least withstand one more attack.
Unexpectedly, Hinako Fukami simply gripped his wrist tightly without launching an attack, her eyes flashing with a complex expression as she gazed at him.
"...Three, two, one!"
[Entry successfully removed!]
Upon seeing the notification, Kiyono Makoto activated the ring's active skill without hesitation, instantly disappearing from sight.
The next second.
Under the tense gaze of the girls, ripples suddenly appeared in the air in front of Eriri, and then a figure appeared out of thin air.
"return!"
"Junior is finally back!"
"..."
The girls cheered.
"Kiyono-kun's face is so pale, what's wrong?"
Kato Megumi looked up at her, her tone worried.
"I'm fine..."
Kiyono Makoto pressed his temples, feeling dizzy and his mental energy depleted. Just as he was about to tell everyone to hurry up and leave, a soft buzzing sound suddenly came from his mind.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the outfit's activation time had reached its maximum duration and was now automatically ending.
"Eh?"
Eriri was startled when she saw the 'damage gauge' suddenly flash red and emanating a dangerous aura.
"The ritual of destiny must be completed as soon as possible, or things will go terribly..."
However, the next second...
After seeing the contents of the destiny ritual, Eriri suddenly widened her eyes, and her fair and delicate face quickly turned red.
"Kiss, kiss?!"
"They even specifically state that kissing on the cheek is not allowed?"
"The ceremony was absolutely terrible!"
"..."
Eriri, embarrassed and annoyed, clenched her fists, wanting to make a run for it.
But the thought was forcibly suppressed as soon as it arose.
"If we run away now, won't that idiot Seino break up?"
Seeing Kiyono Makoto's pale face, furrowed brows, and pained expression, Eriri silently bit her lower lip.
no.
We cannot escape.
That idiot Qingye is clearly in a lot of pain right now. If the previously accumulated damage bursts out, it'll be extremely dangerous, right?
So... so we have to make a sacrifice...
Seeing the countdown rapidly decreasing, Eriri didn't have time to think. Instinct quickly overcame her shame, and she walked briskly to Kiyono Makoto, her voice trembling slightly with embarrassment:
"Idiot, you idiot Qingye... bend your waist!"
Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto instinctively bent over.
"......call!"
Eriri took a deep breath, her blush spreading to her earlobes and even her neck. She suddenly raised her hand to cup Kiyono Makoto's cheeks, and then, under the subtle gazes of the girls, quickly stood on tiptoe, closed her eyes, and shyly kissed him.
(Stay calm, don't panic!)
(I was saving someone... just like giving them CPR, nothing more!)
"..."
The girls exchanged glances, and the atmosphere subtly became more delicate.
"Heh~"
Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and let out a soft, unintelligible hum.
Rio Futaba remained calm, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, and instead analyzed the situation rationally:
"It is now certain that the content of the destiny ritual will change depending on the amount of damage caused."
Kato Megumi's expression was indifferent; she simply twirled a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingers, seemingly unconcerned about anything. However, upon closer inspection, one could catch a subtle downward slant at the corner of the girl's lips.
Finally, it was Nishimiya Shoko's turn. She blushed with embarrassment, nervously looking down at her toes, only daring to steal glances.
A moment later.
The ritual of destiny was quietly completed.
Eriri took a half-step back in a panic, her pretty face flushed and burning hot, almost as if it were about to bleed.
"That was just CPR!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest, her tone playful:
"Sawamura-kun is really 'helpful,' isn't he? His face was practically bursting with redness, yet he used first aid as an excuse. This is such a textbook example of tsundere behavior; I've decided to include it in my new work."
"No way!"
Eriri raised her hand to wipe her lips, feeling both embarrassed and angry. "Let's get out of here quickly!"
Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath, looked down at the blonde twin-tailed girl in front of him, and said in a gentle voice:
"Lady Eriri, thank you for saving my life."
"Hmph~ I'm making my escape first."
Eriri rushed into the blue vortex in a panic.
"Junior, here's your backpack."
Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly handed over a backpack:
"The supplies are all inside."
Seino Makoto nodded:
"Everyone, let's evacuate."
Generally speaking, stripping an attribute will cause the life form to collapse immediately, but that was a deep-sea hatchling after all, and no one can guarantee that there won't be any changes. It's definitely better to evacuate as soon as possible.
The girls nodded in agreement, quickly walked towards the vortex, and then evacuated Silent Hill.
As Kiyono Makoto was the last to leave and stepped into the vortex, he suddenly sensed something and instinctively turned his head.
Not far away, Hinako Fukami reappeared out of thin air, but she did not attack; she simply gazed at him silently.
Their eyes met.
Kiyono Makoto felt a pang of guilt and decisively retreated.
The park's cold announcement rang in my ears immediately:
[Player meets evacuation criteria... Evacuation successful]
The next second.
A slight feeling of dizziness crept in.
Kiyono Makoto opened his eyes and found himself back in the familiar black sphere space.
"It's finally over..."
I heard my senior's relieved voice.
Kiyono Makoto turned his head and saw the languid-looking senior, Eriri, her pretty face flushed, glaring at him with embarrassment and annoyance; Nishimiya Shoko, who was timidly counting ants with her head down; Kato Megumi, who was curiously observing her surroundings; and Futaba Rio, who was covering her chest with her right hand.
They were all neatly arranged, not one was missing.
Clearly, after officially forming a team, clearing the dungeon will lead to entering the same black sphere space.
"Before the dungeon ends, everyone can inquire about the cost of full healing."
Rio Futaba spoke softly, drawing everyone's attention, and shared a little trick: "We can judge the severity of an injury by the cost of treatment. If the cost is low, treatment is generally unnecessary; just go back to reality and rest."
Upon hearing Rio Futaba's suggestion, the girls naturally nodded in agreement and began inquiring about the treatment costs.
"Treatment cost for 100 points..."
"I only need a few dozen points for treatment..."
The girls began to speak up.
Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses:
"Treatment at the amusement park is expensive, but if it doesn't exceed 300 points, there shouldn't be any major problems."
After she finished speaking, Rio Futaba suddenly noticed that Makoto Kiyono's expression was off, and tilted her head to look at her:
"Kiyono-kun, why aren't you saying anything?"
Seino Makoto took a deep breath, his eyes twitching slightly:
"My treatment costs... will require 10,000 points."
Chapter 67 Futaba: I want to experience water magic.
"Ten thousand points?"
Rio Futaba looked up in surprise, her first reaction being disbelief:
"Did Kiyono-kun misspell an extra zero?"
Kiyono Makoto presses his brow:
"You read that right, it's an extremely high treatment fee of 10,000 points."
"...This is not scientifically sound."
Rio Futaba blurted out:
"Even for a player who is critically injured and on the verge of death, the treatment fee is only a few thousand points. Ten thousand points is outrageous."
"Junior, what are you talking about?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked over curiously.
Kato Megumi said softly:
"Um, Kiyono-kun said that deep treatment requires a payment of 10,000 points."
"ha?"
Upon hearing this, even the still embarrassed Zhai Li couldn't help but look up at her:
"You're kidding, right? We've all been together the whole time. Our treatment costs are either hundreds or tens of yuan, so why does that idiot Qingye only get 10,000 points?"
"Could it be that their cheating was too obvious, so they were punished by the park?"
Makoto Kiyono: "......"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's thoughts stirred slightly, and she pursed her beautiful lips:
"Wait, we weren't with Junior the whole time... He was all alone when he led Hinako away. Could something have happened during that time?"
Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses:
"Kiyono-kun, take a look at your character panel."
"No need to look anymore..."
Kiyono Makoto sighed helplessly and directly displayed the character panel.
