Lost in the darkness, Alain couldn't help but wonder what kind of sweet words the bad woman was going to say to him.
Judging from their current interaction, Mita had a way of flirting with him. If he hadn't known about the information gap and had the safety guard, he might have fallen for it without realizing it.
Then, Alain suddenly noticed that the body fragrance tickling his nose seemed to be getting closer, as if someone had put a flower right under his nose, gently inhaling.
Next, a faint warm breeze brushed his face, and from the even rhythm, it must be breathing.
So, the question arose. There was only him and Mita in the room right now, so...
Why was Mita's breathing so close to him?
Alain was already a bit tempted to open his eyes and take a look. However, a feeling spread from his nose again.
And this time, it wasn't a smell, but a touch.
Like a smooth jelly, resting on his nose, with a bit of warmth and a faint fragrance.
Alain was a bit confused at this moment. Why did Mita have to get so close just to say sweet words?
And the next second, the girl answered his question.
Like a spring breeze brushing Alain's lips, it touched and separated in an instant. But the touch of her lips, which could be described as momentary, felt longer than a century to Alain.
His mind was in chaos, from whether he had turned off the gas stove at home to whether he would ever have a chance to clean up the resources on his online drive.
Until Mita removed her small hands from his cheeks, and the coolness of the air returned to the sides of his face, he realized a fact:
He had been kissed by Mita.
Although it was just a peck, it still caused some kind of shock to Alain.
He opened his eyes and saw the blush and shyness on the blue-haired girl's face.
"Is this proof okay with you?"
Her hand clutched the hem of her dress, her restless legs shifted awkwardly. Her gaze was sometimes lowered, but sometimes it rested on Alain's eyes, flickering uncertainly.
Alain didn't answer, but instead reached out and touched his lips.
He stood there for a full three seconds before accepting reality.
Mita had actually interpreted his implied sweet words as "smooching"...
This... made the bad woman seem a bit too cute.
Alain sat on the sofa, holding his head. The system panel popped up at this time, the progress bar increasing from 45% to 60%.
[You have successfully obtained a chance to use Virus Scan in this mission.]
Virus Scan, just as the name implies, is to check if there are any viruses in the room you are currently in.
"One kiss, quite a lot of progress... but I can't kiss too much. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold back."
And the virus that the safety guard identified at the moment—Mita—was right beside him. Alain thought this was a rather useless skill.
"Um... Alain? Don't you like it?"
"No, sorry... let me calm down first."
Alain temporarily suppressed the chaos in his thoughts, adhering to the truth of "escaping is shameful but useful," and focused his attention on the system panel.
But Mita didn't let him off the hook.
The girl sat beside Alain. He looked at the floor in front of him with complex eyes, thinking that he was still doubting something.
"If you're worried or angry... I can assure you. This is my first kiss..."
Alain's thoughts suddenly froze. He realized that if he had, in a sense, tricked the bad woman out of her first kiss, wouldn't he have become the bad man...
What a corny way of putting it.
Speaking of which, teasing the bad woman had gone a bit too far, and it even stirred up a bit of guilt in his heart.
He kept repeating "this woman wants to turn him into a cassette tape" and "she's very likely a lunatic," and only then was the turmoil in his heart suppressed, and reason returned.
"As soon as you assured me, I actually wasn't angry anymore."
Alain forced a smile and patted the head of the girl sitting beside him.
"It's just that when you came over and kissed me, my brain didn't process it... in other words, I was too happy."
In his occupational-disease-tinged words, the girl, who was originally worried about whether she had done something wrong, was slightly stunned, and then a warm smile blossomed.
"Yes! If Alain is happy, I'm happy! Hehe~"
Mita, sitting beside him, couldn't help but hum a little tune. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Alain also had time to temporarily sort out the current situation.
First of all, the bad woman whose first kiss he had stolen was indeed very cute, there was no denying that.
Secondly, there was indeed something hidden inside Mita's wardrobe, which he needed to go and investigate. Perhaps it was also Alain's curiosity getting the better of him.
What the bad woman wanted to hide, Alain believed was what he should find out.
And for now, he still needed to stabilize Mita, making her think that his curiosity about the wardrobe was gone.
Then, Alain's gaze swept around the room, finally landing on the photos hanging on the wall.
In the photos, Mita's smile was even more radiant than the sun. Or she was wearing a swimsuit, her slightly tanned back flawless and suggestive.
And Alain did discover a problem.
"Mita, those photos are all very beautiful."
"You've always lived here, right? Then who took those photos for you?"
"To be precise, this world isn't just me."
Mita's mood at the moment was cheerful, just like her low ponytail swaying with her calves.
"When the time is right, should I 'introduce' them to you?"
"Okay. To be honest, I feel much more at ease."
Mita tilted her head, looking at Alain's profile with confusion.
And the young man's words slowly came,
"I thought you were the only one in this world, and I was worried you'd be lonely. Hearing you say that, you must have friends, right?"
The girl murmured the word, pondered for two seconds,
"I guess you could say that?"
"Hmm. You need to get along well with your friends."
"No... as long as you can always be here with me, that's enough."
Mita's eyes narrowed slightly, as if sparkling with brilliant colors, her gaze more direct than a fleeting shooting star.
Seeing this, Alain's breathing slowed down.
The overly suggestive atmosphere was too much for even Alain, who had an occupational disease, to handle, so he changed the subject and praised,
"You probably didn't have a low ponytail before, did you?"
Mita didn't seem to understand what he was saying, and Alain continued.
"Although your current hair is also very beautiful, I think you're also very cute with short hair."
Alain's thoughts returned to when he had just arrived in this world, to the photo of short-haired Mita in that room. Compared to the current girl, she lacked gentleness, but had more playfulness and innocence.
Unexpectedly, this time Mita didn't respond to everything like before.
