A moment later.
Kitahara Makoto and Takamatsu Tomori each changed their clothes and walked out of the fitting room.
As the two stood together, the eyes of the sales assistant next to them immediately lit up, and she sincerely praised them:
"You two customers are super compatible!"
Tomori-chan's height is only 1.55 meters, which can be described as petite and cute. Now, standing with Kitahara Makoto and wearing the same couple's outfits, it perfectly creates the feeling of the most adorable height difference.
Hearing the sales assistant's praise, Takamatsu Tomori's small face flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head.
There were many customers coming and going in the store. Hearing the praise now, they all cast curious glances.
"That girl is so cute."
"The boy is also very handsome."
"They look super compatible together."
"…"
Takamatsu Tomori was already a bit afraid of interacting with strangers. Hearing the discussions around her, she nervously took half a step back, instinctively hiding behind Kitahara Makoto, and nervously tugged at the corner of Kitahara Makoto's clothes.
"Ah~ So cute, like a little animal!"
A woman's face was full of excitement; she was just short of taking out her phone to take a commemorative photo.
Throughout history, countless facts have proven that high Appearance really makes you more popular.
Coincidentally, both Kitahara Makoto and Takamatsu Tomori had high Appearance . Now, standing together and wearing the same style of couple's outfits, they quickly became the most radiant high school couple in the entire store.
"Hmph~"
Chihaya Anon crossed her arms over her chest and let out an almost imperceptible hum, the gloomy feeling in her heart growing stronger.
This pink-haired girl was good in all other aspects, except she was a bit vain and liked to show off. Now, seeing Kitahara Makoto and Takamatsu Tomori become the center of attention, her eyes inevitably held a hint of resentment.
The hum was very soft, and no one else heard it, only the female sales assistant nearby vaguely heard it.
"Eh?"
Quietly glancing at the resentful Chihaya Anon, the female sales assistant secretly sighed:
In a group of three, one is bound to get hurt.
After buying clothes, the three went to buy some candles as props, then ate something simple, and then headed to the onsen inn.
The journey was silent.
Arriving at the entrance of the onsen inn, Chihaya Anon took out her phone and contacted her friends from the KTV one by one, quickly letting out a sigh of relief:
"Everyone hasn't arrived yet, so no need to worry about being seen. Shall we go to the room and wait first?"
Kitahara Makoto nodded: "Then let's go to the room first."
After completing the check-in procedures, the three received their keys and went to the room together.
Summer is the off-season for onsen, so there were few guests, and the entire onsen inn was quite quiet.
"It's almost evening, and everyone will arrive soon. Let's go over the battle plan one last time," Chihaya Anon pushed up the glasses on her nose, her expression serious, "Tomori-chan was right, human wisdom has its limits. The more you play with schemes, the more likely mistakes will occur. The simplest, most foolish method might surprisingly have a miraculous effect…"
Takamatsu Tomori said calmly: "I didn't say that."
Chihaya Anon: "…"
"I can testify," Kitahara Makoto added, "Tomori-chan Student really didn't say that."
"…"
"Cough cough, anyway, the meaning is similar, don't mind the details," Chihaya Anon quickly changed the subject, then intertwined her fingers and propped up her chin, "Actually, there's no need for a very elaborate plan. Just saying 'during the curse removal process, you must not open your eyes no matter what,' should be fine… After all, the most difficult hurdle has already been overcome."
In the event of helping Anon's friends remove the curse, the most difficult part was actually how to get those girls to take off their clothes without raising suspicion.
But this problem wasn't a problem at all—they came to an onsen inn to soak in the onsen, so taking off their clothes was perfectly reasonable, right?
Kitahara Makoto nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, the world is essentially a huge makeshift operation. Accidents and oversights are too normal. Just act according to the situation; don't strive for perfection or try to formulate a flawless plan."
For example, Mandela, who always hovered between death and life, finally passed away in 2013. Five days later, South Africa held a televised memorial service for Mandela for the whole world. The government outsourced the translation services to a private company, and the company temporarily hired a 'sign language expert.' As a result, during the live broadcast of the global memorial service, this translation expert was flustered, panicked, and sweating… In short, it was a complete mess.
A subsequent investigation revealed that this old man didn't know sign language at all and was also a schizophrenic patient. The global memorial service directly turned into a global joke.
If such an important occasion can have oversights, it's too normal for accidents to happen in reality.
"There's still some time until dark," Chihaya Anon looked at her phone and suggested, "Tomori-chan, Kitahara-kun, why don't you soak in the onsen and rest for a bit?"
Kitahara Makoto agreed: "Then let's soak in the onsen… since we're already here."
Chihaya Anon: "…"
Although they were in the same room, Takamatsu Tomori would definitely not agree to soak in the onsen with a boy, so the two naturally soaked separately.
No need to say more about what happened next.
Kitahara Makoto came out of the onsen, Tomori-chan Student went in, and at the same time, Chihaya Anon's phone vibrated; a friend had already arrived at the onsen inn.
"I'm going out to pick up my friends," Chihaya Anon stood up, leaned forward, and instructed, "After I leave, Kitahara-kun, don't take advantage of Tomori-chan."
Kitahara Makoto said helplessly:
"In Anon-san's eyes, is my character that bad?"
"Of course I trust Kitahara-kun's character," Chihaya Anon stuck out her pink tongue, "But it's better to be safe than sorry, isn't it? Tomori-chan is so cute, and Kitahara-kun is a boy, so you're bound to have impulses, right?"
"Impulse is the original sin. Many people commit impulsive crimes because they get a hot head, and then they regret it terribly afterward. Kitahara-kun, you must remain calm."
Kitahara Makoto's expression remained unchanged: "I'm always super calm."
"Then I'll go out first…" Chihaya Anon was about to leave when she suddenly remembered her revenge plan to conquer Kitahara Makoto yesterday. Her eyes shifted, and she lowered her voice, "Kitahara-kun, you can't take advantage of Tomori-chan. After today's matter is over, I'll give Kitahara-kun a few special reward coupons."
Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow and asked, "Special reward… what's that?"
"It's just a special reward." Chihaya Anon glanced guiltily towards the onsen, whispering, "For example, Kitahara-kun could use a special voucher to have me accompany him on a date or go shopping."
Kitahara Makoto was expressionless: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in shopping."
"It's just an example, it's not only for shopping." Chihaya Anon raised her hand to tuck a strand of dark hair behind her ear, leaning slightly forward, whispering into his ear, her breath like orchids, "Other special rewards can also be redeemed~"
Kitahara Makoto: "..."
Something's not right!
This pink-haired girl is nine-tenths not right!
