'What does "first do then do" mean?'
At first, Nijika hadn't reacted yet, her expression clearly a bit blank.
But she quickly got the meaning, her pretty face rapidly turned red, the steaming shame transformed into thick fog, floating above the girl's head.
"Wa-wait!"
Seeing the situation was not good, Gremlin Ryou crossed her hands in front of her chest defensively, vigilantly saying, "This is just a small immature suggestion from me, if you don't agree then forget it, I'll go find Kita instead, Bocchi definitely won't refuse either..."
"Not allowed to find them!", Nijika instinctively blocked in front of her.
The Great Angel quickly realized that her behavior seemed a bit too intense, also revealing some little thoughts that couldn't be spoken aloud, hurriedly coughed, and hummed, "As the leader of Kessoku Band... I-I have the responsibility to protect the teammates' physical and mental health."
"Kita and Bocchi are both good kids, I can't let you lead them astray."
Gremlin Ryou: *Stare—*
"Al-alright! Didn't you say you still need to take a bath! It's already very late, after bathing hurry and go back to sleep," Nijika really couldn't stand her weird gaze, forcibly enduring the embarrassment, hurriedly urged:
"I-I'll be waiting for you on the bed!"
"Hmm?"
Gremlin Ryou looked a bit troubled, also couldn't care to joke anymore, "You're going to sleep here too?"
She had her own plans for tonight, if there was an extra third wheel, it would definitely be awkward.
"Is there a problem?", Nijika also looked puzzled, wrinkling her delicate nose, "We clearly used to sleep together before, right? Why are you making that face like I'm bothering you?"
They had been good friends since junior high, and also attended the same school through high school and university.
During school trips, sometimes the hotel rooms were tight, the two often squeezed together, even bathing together happened a few times.
'Of course, it is because I was planning to night raid someone,' Gremlin Ryou sighed, 'I had everything planned.'
'In this unfamiliar environment, going to the toilet at night, getting back and mistakenly entering the wrong room, isn't that normal?'
'Not noticing someone else on the bed, lifting the quilt and crawling in, also normal?'
'Having a habit of sleeping without clothes, that is equally normal?'
'It's well-known that people get hungry easily at night.'
'So dreaming about eating a chicken wrap and drinking soybean milk because of hunger is even more normal, right?'
'In short, coincidence, everything is coincidence.'
Actually, it wasn't necessary to definitely develop anything.
But, having such an experience could greatly close the distance between them, it counted as a very useful shortcut.
For a thin-skinned little girl, maybe such a plan was too advanced.
Gremlin Ryou wasn't very concerned with worldly opinions; compared to useless shame, meat that reached the mouth was more delicious.
Just like the widely spread joke, if bowing once could give you ten thousand yuan, what would you do?
When you bow the first time, your friends feel embarrassed, your parents are furious.
When you bow the tenth time, everyone falls silent.
When you bow the hundredth time, your parents would worriedly ask if you're tired, and your friends would enviously and jealously ask, "Can I bow a few too?"
Same logic.
When she milked the first time, Nijika might scold her for making an early move and not following martial ethics.
When she milked the tenth time, Nijika would fall silent, and start to get restless.
When she milked the hundredth time, Nijika would start worrying if she was tired, and if she really couldn't hold on, she herself would volunteer to take shifts.
But this perfect plan, unfortunately, died before it even began.
"No problem if it's no problem...", Gremlin Ryou was full of depression, "But why did you suddenly think of sleeping with me? Didn't you always complain about my bad sleeping posture?"
'Of course, it's because I want to supervise you.'
Although this premonition was a bit unreasonable, but based on Nijika's understanding of Ryou, 'If I let her sleep alone in one room, this girl... Will definitely sneak out at night to do bad things, right?'
Having herself by the side, at least she would have some scruples.
Nijika crossed her arms, lightly hummed, "Is it not allowed? Or is it... you actually have other plans?"
"How could that be?", Gremlin Ryou sighed, her golden eyes full of disappointment, "Nijika, with so many years of friendship, am I really so untrustworthy in your eyes?"
The Great Angel shook her head.
But before Gremlin Ryou could say something comforting, she quickly added, "It's not 'not trustworthy,' it's 'very untrustworthy'!"
'Someone who can fight stray cats for sausages has zero credibility.'
'Well, you really do see people very clearly, huh,' Gremlin Ryou became even more depressed, but since things were already said to this point, she could only regretfully give up tonight's plan.
However, you can guard for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Temporarily endure, avoid the sharp edge.
Hide strength and bide time, seize the opportunity again.

As dawn rose, the distant sky showed a faint fish-belly white, appearing with the extremely weak morning light, revealing a bit of warmth.
Kaito opened his eyes, first looking at the unfamiliar ceiling.
His sleep quality was always very good. Last night after getting into bed, he looked at his phone for a while, mainly chatting with Yumiko, the little girlfriend was chattering to him about her dad and mom; after hearing their daughter got a boyfriend after returning home, they were very worried, afraid she would be deceived, and even proposed to meet Kaito.
Such a small thing was naturally no problem, and he had nothing to hide anyway, so Kaito straightforwardly agreed.
Since today was already the last day of the holiday, the final meeting time was set for Saturday.
After that, the two didn't chat for too long, said goodnight to each other, then rested, sleeping till morning.
Looking at the phone beside him, it was just 6:30.
Although today was the start of school, at this time for most students, it was still the sleepy stage; even if awake, eight or nine out of ten would go back to sleep again.
Kaito didn't mind; with his cultivation, even not sleeping for several months would be fine, sleeping was just to experience life.
After getting dressed, he normally went to the bathroom to wash up.
The outside sky was still a bit hazy, the light not very bright, but enough to see, so he didn't turn on the light.
While brushing teeth facing the mirror, the door behind him gave a "click" and was pushed open.
"Mm...", A sleepy-eyed Nijika walked in, with tender small hands covering her mouth, still unable to stop yawning.
Noticing someone was in the bathroom, she didn't mind at all, thinking it was her own home, and thus the one inside must be her sister Seika.
After greeting "sister," Nijika naturally walked to the toilet, pulled down her panties, and then sat down.
The sound of trickling water, in the narrow bathroom, was like a small constantly flowing stream.
Kaito: "..."
Kaito: "!"
