Bochang's room underwent a thorough search.

Apart from the inconspicuous trash bin, every other area caught the pink-haired girl's attention briefly.

"Stelle actually isn't here?" March 7th stopped searching, her face filled with confusion. "Then where could she have gone?"

Bochang turned and replied, "How would I know? I already told you earlier, but you didn't believe me..."

March 7th stood frozen for a moment, feeling that something was amiss.

However...

She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

«Have I overlooked something?»

As this thought crossed March 7th's mind, she suddenly sensed...

There was something distinctly off about this room.

It felt like among a group of ducks, there was an extra mouse.

At first glance, one might overlook it.

But... upon closer inspection, the presence of the mouse became apparent.

"This trash bin...isn't it unusually large?" March 7th's gaze sharpened.

At that moment, Bochang's heart trembled slightly; he hadn't anticipated that she would notice Miyu's trash bin. It was truly unexpected.

Quickly trying to divert attention...

Bochang hastily changed the subject and said, "Listen...if you really want to find Stelle, why not just send her a message asking where she is? There's no need to make things so complicated."

"You're right...that makes sense. I'll text her now." March 7th fell for the distraction, no longer focusing on the trash bin issue, likely due to its ability taking effect.

This relieved Bochang once again.

"Phew..."

One can only imagine, if Bochang hadn't obtained Miyu's trash bin earlier,

Stelle might have been captured by March 7th by now.

Watching as the pink-haired girl took out her phone,

Bochang interrupted, "March, I'm about to sleep now. Why don't you go search outside instead?"

"It's not like staying up a bit longer will kill me. What's wrong with this young lady checking around?" March 7th rolled her eyes.

Bochang remained silent, unable to respond.

In the next moment...

March 7th sent out a message.

No notification sound emerged from the trash bin.

It seemed Bochang's delay wasn't futile; Stelle had likely turned off her phone's sound by now.

After several seconds passed...

March 7th glanced at her phone screen and said, "Stelle replied. She mentioned she couldn't sleep well and decided to take a stroll outside the Divination Commission. Looks like I falsely accused you after all..."

"See, now you know," Bochang casually waved his hand, feeling no guilt for deceiving the innocent girl.

Despite getting her answer, March 7th didn't leave immediately.

The pink-haired girl, clad in a white bathrobe, placed one hand on her hip and glared fiercely at Bochang, saying, "However... don't think this absolves you that easily, Bochang. What's going on between you and Serval? During the day, I saw such intimate photos of you with her—closer than we've ever been together!"

Hearing March 7th's words, Bochang felt an immediate headache coming on.

It was clear that the pink-haired girl's jealousy had spilled over. With too many people around earlier, she hadn't confronted him then. Now, with fewer witnesses, March 7th began causing trouble.

[Dating Options activated.]

[Option 1: Attempt to defend yourself: "Believe me, March, my relationship with Serval is perfectly innocent." - Completion Reward: March 7th storms out slamming the door.]

[Option 2: Generously admit: "Yes, there is indeed something unusual about my relationship with Serval." - Completion Reward: Stelle and March 7th temporarily leave the party.]

**[Option Three: Flash a peace sign: "Since you put it that way... March, let's take photos today. You can snap as many as you want."—Completion Reward: Obtain a random item, ranging from small as a matchstick to large as a star destroyer. Note: Such items will...]

[Option Four: Grasp March 7th's shoulders, kiss her forehead, and say: "Can you feel my sincerity now?"—Completion Reward: Yandere Gaze. Note: Beware of sudden attacks from behind!]

If Stelle weren't here, Option Four would likely have been available.

Unfortunately...

Stelle was still hiding inside Miyu's trash bin.

This prevented Bochang from choosing the fourth option. Both options one and two offered negative rewards, indicating they were entirely unfeasible.

The only choice left for Bochang was option three.

Having made his decision, Bochang promptly flashed a peace sign and said, "Since you put it that way... March, let's take photos today. You can snap as many as you want."

"Hmm? You finally decided to cheer me up? Not bad." Hearing this, March 7th's initially sour mood instantly shifted, and she beamed with a radiant smile. "That's what you said; don't go back on your word later."

Go back on his word?

As soon as these words left Bochang's mouth, he began regretting them.

Taking photos with such a beautiful girl like March 7th...

was indeed enjoyable.

But...

after snapping countless pictures, one would inevitably feel tired.

Moreover, Bochang himself wasn't particularly fond of photography. Whenever March 7th wanted to take photos before, he would casually click just a few shots.

If she asked for more, he always found various excuses to decline.

Even Stelle was no exception.

March 7th smiled sweetly, eagerly grabbing her camera.

A sense of weariness crept over Bochang as he watched the pink-haired girl's excitement.

He hoped that March 7th would finish quickly, without further disrupting his rest time with Stelle.

Of course...

despite calling it "rest time," Bochang knew he might struggle to truly relax. He feared tossing and turning before eventually falling asleep.

March 7th swiftly grabbed Bochang.

The two began taking photos right within the room, with the pink-haired girl incessantly chattering.

"Bochang, strike a more appealing pose! Get closer to me, even closer..."

"Bochang, at the Seat of Divine Foresight earlier, didn't you create lotus flowers by blowing air? Why not do it again so I can capture some shots."

"No? Why not?" March 7th held onto Bochang's hand firmly. "Already photographed at the Seat of Divine Foresight? But that was then, this is now; they're not the same thing. How can you compare them?"

"Besides, now we're supposed to take pictures together, which wasn't the case before."

"Hmph... You promised today would be all about letting me photograph freely. Don't tell me you're backing out already," March 7th continued relentlessly.

Her words flowed non-stop as she snapped photo after photo.

Listening to her chatter, Bochang felt his head spinning, losing all sense of time. He simply went along like an obedient robot, unsure of Stelle's situation hidden inside the trash bin.

Feeling like a mere robot, Bochang continued to accompany March 7th's whims.

Meanwhile, he couldn't help but worry about Stelle hidden inside the trash bin.

"Is her foot getting numb...?" Bochang muttered to himself.

Suddenly, March 7th grabbed his clothing, her cheeks slightly flushed, and declared, "Perfect... Now that we've finished taking photos with clothes on, it's time for some without."

"Huh?!"

Bochang slowly typed out a series of question marks, momentarily perplexed by what she was suggesting.

However, judging from her demeanor,

March 7th seemed completely serious.

Because...

She forcefully removed Bochang's trench coat, leaving only his white T-shirt underneath and black pants below.

"March, March, calm down!"

"Aiya, if I'm not embarrassed, why should you be? Just take them off when told," March 7th insisted assertively, her spirits high yet tone impatient.
