"Is it the one from just now? Hmm, I’ve tried that size. Although it was so tight I could hardly breathe, how did the buttons pop off?"
"Exactly, I thought it was really tight at first too, then I bent over to pick up a comb... and... the buttons just popped off QAQ..."
After a critical hit from Tsukimi sakurazawa, and a follow-up stab from cute little Ise Yu, Asano Nazuki felt like her heart was already in tatters...
I’m fed up, let’s destroy this world that only cares about bust size...
"Well... let’s leave it at that. Anyway, I wore black stockings once, so I’ve explained myself to Shirakawa... I won’t coswitch as a witch today~"
"Why do you need to explain yourself to me? I didn’t ask for anything." Shirakawa Sawahei refused to take the blame, denying it.
"Alright, I get it... Let’s start quickly, the Halloween event."
"Hurry, hurry~ Shirakawa, turn off the light, let the pumpkin lantern light up..." cute little Ise Yu rubbed her little hands together excitedly, saying, "I’ve never watched a horror movie with friends on Halloween night before... Finally, I have a chance today..."
"Horror movie, so scary... sounds terrifying..." Black Hearted Lolita pretended, clinging to Shirakawa Sawahei’s arm, asking, "Shirakawa, you’ll protect us, right?"
Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at Ms. Tachibana Tomoku beside him, letting out a cold laugh, thinking to himself that Black Hearted Lolita’s acting was over the top. The truly scared girl was already sitting in the corner of the sofa, clutching the hem of her dress.
To take care of the more timid of the four girls, Shirakawa Sawahei deliberately chose the side so she would have someone to hold onto...
What? You think I crave Tachibana’s body? Want to hug her?
What I’m really afraid of is that Tsukimi and Ise Yu will get scared and scream, pushing towards me! Sitting next to the timid one at least spares me one side from sudden attacks.
As the light switch flicked off, Shirakawa Sawahei’s home went dark. Ise Yu Yuzhijin pulled the curtains shut, and the faint glow of the pumpkin lantern lit up, making the entire living room appear spacious and serene.
"It’s, it seems kind of scary right now... Shirakawa, why do you live in such a big house..."
"Stop talking, what movie to watch? Saw?"
"Horror movie, gotta pick a Thai one~ The United States’ horror movies are so-so... they seem to confuse gore with horror."
"Neon’s movies are actually good too... just that I’ve seen quite a few." said the idle girl, nodding. "Let’s find one that everyone hasn’t really watched yet!"
"How about a Huaxia film?"
"Ah... it depends on the era... Huaxia’s recent horror films are quite weird... the endings have nothing to do with the ghosts..."
"How about French horror movies? The vampire series..."
The long-legged cute girl and idle girl started discussing horror films from various countries, while Shirakawa Sawahei listened to the usual complaints about Huaxia horror movies, feeling speechless.
Thai ads and horror films, truly recognized as divine.
"Let’s watch this, ’Shutter’." Shirakawa Sawahei randomly picked a famous film from an online ranking, asking, "Any problems?"
The idle girl and whiner responded this way, and as the Blu-ray disc slowly slid in, the screen on the television started to display the movie.
"So exciting... Sakurazawa, want some popcorn?"
"Yeah, yeah... Shirakawa, do you want some?"
Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at the two, without saying a word. On the TV screen, the plot slowly unfolded with the male lead and female lead, who were photographers, gradually building up a terrifying atmosphere...
It wasn’t long before...
"This... it actually is kind of scary, huh..."
"Yeah, yeah, you’re right!"
The initially most excited Tsukimi sakurazawa and Ise Yu Yuzhijin began to put on forced smiles. Shirakawa Sawahei ignored them, continuing to watch the movie. Ms. Tachibana Tomoku beside him had unconsciously grabbed his coat.
Black Hearted Lolita: Ha, really? With my high IQ, I wouldn’t be scared by such petty tricks, right?
Black Hearted Lolita: This... seems to be a bit of a thrill...
Black Hearted Lolita: Shivering.jpg
Ten more minutes later...
Black Hearted Lolita: Hugging Tsukimi sakurazawa tight...
Even Shirakawa Sawahei, well-versed in filming techniques and intimately familiar with the core selling points of horror films, couldn’t help but feel a bit creeped out at this point. The image of the female ghost was so deeply ingrained, that even he, usually calm, started to feel a bit unsettled.
Why did we decide to watch a horror movie on Halloween! Should’ve gone camping instead! This Thai movie is quite something...
Tomoku Tachibana had already buried her head in Shirakawa Sawahei’s chest, a rare bold move for her, yet at this special moment, Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t even notice it.
"Shirakawa... I want to go to the bathroom..." said the whiner with a stiff and forced smile. Shirakawa Sawahei gave an "oh," and was about to get up. The idle girl, hanging on his arm, was startled by the movement.
"Shirakawa, what are you doing!"
"Tsukimi wants to go to the bathroom, I’m just going with her."
"Then I’ll go too..."
And so, each of the four girls clung to a part of Shirakawa Sawahei, trembling as they moved toward the bathroom...
Tsukimi sakurazawa looking bewildered, thinking to herself, "I just want to use the bathroom, does everyone have to come? You’re making me more nervous, you know!"
"Shirakawa... can you come in with me?" Tsukimi sakurazawa said, looking miserable, "That movie was really scary... boo hoo hoo..."
"You get in there!" Shirakawa Sawahei snapped, "You two weren’t this cowardly when I asked about the movie!"
"Who could’ve thought Thai movies were so unbeatable... boo hoo hoo... I’m almost traumatized...", Tsukimi sakurazawa said pitifully. "How about... later, I lay on you, Shirakawa, and you narrate the plot to me, is that okay..."
"Yes, yes, yes!!" the idle girl nodded frantically, agreeing to the suggestion.
Black Hearted Lolita hugged Shirakawa Sawahei’s waist, rubbing her little face against his back, signaling her agreement with the suggestion.
Tachibana Tomoku... hmm... the little girl was holding onto Shirakawa Sawahei’s arm, eyes closed, too afraid to open them... judging by her demeanor, she seemed to have tacitly agreed to the suggestion.
Shirakawa Sawahei was silent for a moment, feeling something wasn’t right...
The horror of the four is all left to me alone... is this really okay?
And... my lap only has so much space, one head from each of you is already full, isn’t it... if there’s no more room, either squeeze at the chest, or spread downwards...
Isn’t this position a bit off?
