Time Loop: Doing Whatever I Want

After leaving home, Ichika flagged down a taxi.

Although Makoto's house wasn't far, she was very anxious.

So much so that it showed clearly on her face.

This caused the driver to quietly speed up.

As someone experienced, he immediately understood.

A young, pretty girl like Ichika getting in with "urgent" written all over her face – he guessed what was going on.

"Young people lost and anxious in their first love, huh? Let me lend you a hand."

The driver got fired up on his own.

Ichika didn't notice at all.

She first replied to Makoto on her phone: [I'll tell you next time.]

Then came the main event.

She decisively messaged Yukino: [Were you busy earlier because of Makoto?]

Yukino replied quickly this time: [Although I find your assumption a bit strange, it could be understood that way.]

They were friends in business but didn't get along personally.

So Yukino used a typically cryptic tone.

Ichika: [So I guessed it right, Yukinoshita. That thing you said before, "Only fools would date him," was just to fool me.]

Yukino: [Are you out of your mind?]

Ichika's eyes locked onto the phone screen: [Answer me—are you trying to fool me?]

This time, almost a full minute passed before Yukino replied: [I don't recall having any obligation to explain such things to you.]

It's her!

It really is her!

Ichika felt completely certain.

When someone faces a question without answering directly, but instead chooses to respond like that, it usually means they feel guilty.

Ichika gripped her phone tightly, her eyes burning with fiery determination.

That was the spirit to fight.

Though she doubted that even if she went to Makoto's house after messaging Yukino, she might not see Yukino.

"She'd definitely retreat beforehand. After all, she doesn't even want to meet me privately anymore."

Ichika remembered their past interactions.

The last time she saw Yukino waiting in the rain under an umbrella, she contacted her to meet, but Yukino firmly refused.

Since then, Ichika was sure Yukino had become unreliable.

Only fools would date him?

Hah, you've probably been torn over whether to be a fool or not.

In fact, Ichika hit the mark.

At this moment, Yukino was sitting at her desk, lost in thought.

She had been so focused on researching filming that she left her phone in the living room.

After chatting with Ichika, she couldn't calm down to continue studying.

Her mind was chaotic.

Yukino took a deep breath, massaging her brow to ease her restless feelings.

"That idiot, why come bother me when there's nothing else to do? Does she like the feeling of losing?"

Yukino really didn't understand why Ichika suddenly started picking a fight.

But when Ichika mentioned "only fools would date him" again, it completely disturbed Yukino's previously calm heart.

Just as Ichika guessed, Yukino was conflicted.

Be a fool and date him?

No way. That guy is a player. I could never date someone like that.

Yukino got angrier and angrier. It was all Ichika's fault. Now she couldn't even read.

…

On the other side,

Yumiko had already left.

And she left feeling both refreshed and embarrassed.

Facing the boss in phase two, she really had no strength to fight back. A rookie heroine like her didn't have the gear or stats to fight a boss.

But Yumiko was confident. Even now, stubbornly believing she could put up a fight against Makoto.

If a heroine isn't brave, what's the point?

This was a trial!

So she acted bravely and was defeated in a flash.

It perfectly fit the oft-used online joke: "Gone in an instant."

At the end, she had a clever idea and borrowed a pair of sports shorts from Makoto.

After all, she still had to go home.

Makoto's reaction was: 6.

Ichika and Nino hadn't even returned the sports shorts they borrowed.

At this rate, he'd soon become a wholesale supplier of sports shorts.

Still the free kind.

Yumiko, being too shy, not only didn't notice Makoto's strange look, but even forgot the originally planned dinner invitation.

"The rice was cooked too much."

Makoto tied on an apron, thinking he would just make fried rice with the extra rice later tonight.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

He went to the door and looked through the peephole. Standing outside was Ichika.

The girl stood with her hands behind her back, a sweet smile on her face. This scene felt very familiar to Makoto.

Another surprise attack?

Last time, Ichika had done just that—silently sneaking over, catching him completely off guard.

But Makoto thought to himself, since she came at this time, she probably hadn't eaten dinner yet. The extra rice would be perfectly eaten by someone.

As he opened the door, before he could finish saying, "Why are you here?" a pleasant fragrance suddenly hit his nose.

After that, the girl's soft and warm body leaned against him.

Rarely, she hugged Makoto and said in a tone full of longing, "I missed you, Makoto."

There's a trick here!

Makoto's mind was very clear.

He was certain there was something else behind this.

So he calmly pulled the girl inside to change shoes, teasing her, "It's the first time I've seen you so suddenly affectionate, but it is really cute."

Ichika smiled sweetly and asked, "Isn't affection a good thing?"

"It's good, but have you ever heard this saying? Sudden affection often makes people uncomfortable."

"Huh? Makoto, do you mean you're no longer used to me like this?"

Makoto smiled: "Good, this kind of you fits the usual mischievous feeling you have."

The smile in Ichika's eyes widened: "I can actually be even more lively."

"For example?"

"For example…"

She paused, then smiled mischievously, dragging out the tone: "I just smelled the scent of another woman on you."

Makoto's face remained unchanged, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought, there's a trick."

Her sudden hug just now was for this reason.

Just as Makoto was about to speak, the charming scent from the girl surrounded him again.

This time, she hugged Makoto's waist, stood on tiptoe, her competitive gaze fully revealed:

"Since you smell like another woman, then cover it up with my scent."

Genius, discharged from the hospital!

Makoto was stunned.

He had never seen such a flirtatious move before.

Ichika was already very skilled at kissing.

She learned fast and kissed with great enthusiasm.

On the way here, she sprayed her favorite perfume and applied her favorite lipstick.

"Only this way can I completely cover Yukino's scent!"

That was what she thought in her heart.

Naturally, she ate dinner at Makoto's house.

She wasn't in a hurry to go home, and while sitting next to him on the sofa, she suddenly linked her arm with his, pressed her cute little face close, and quickly took a photo with her phone.

"What's this?" Makoto felt she was up to something again.

Ichika laughed and put away her phone: "Since the atmosphere is like this, not taking a sweet photo together would be unacceptable, my dear captain."

Makoto said, "You're acting strange today."

Ichika replied, "Nope, I'm always like this."

Makoto rested his chin on his hand, pretending to think: "If you're always like this, then you must have poisoned the lipstick, or why else would I be so suspicious now?"

Ichika rolled her eyes at him with a smile.

Makoto was sure she wanted to cause trouble, just didn't know who her target was.

Was it Yukino?

Very likely.

Or her wary sister Nino?

That possibility wasn't small either.

This question seemed difficult, but the solution was simple.

Makoto chatted with her for a while. When he got up to get some snacks, he quickly sent a message to Yukino on his phone: [Yukino Yukino, please respond.]

No reply from Yukino.

Makoto: [Calling the adorable second Miss, urgent matter.]

Within five seconds, Yukino replied: [Say it quickly.]

Makoto: [Won't you reply unless I add "adorable"? Ha, Yukino, you rascal.]

Yukino: [Do you want me to block you?]

Makoto: [Getting to the point, has Ichika contacted you?]

Yukino: [She contacted you too?]

Makoto got his answer.

Ichika's target was Yukino.

Remembering that earlier she suddenly called him, then ended the call with "I'll tell you next time."

The answer was obvious.

She had mistaken Yumiko for Yukino because he didn't answer the phone.

Makoto calmly sat back down: "That photo you just took, it's probably not just for your own collection, right?"

Ichika smiled slyly: "You can think more about it."

Makoto: "You want to send the photo to Yukino to break through her defenses?"

Ichika was surprised: "You guessed that too?"

Makoto seriously advised: "There's something I have to tell you early. Yukino's stats are terrifyingly high, whether online or offline, she's all stats."

"She's really strong, but I'm not bad either~"

Ichika wouldn't admit defeat, of course.

Besides, she still had four younger sisters.

"Wait, what do you mean by offline?" She suddenly caught the key point.

Makoto seriously said: "Yukino's Aikido is very good. I observed carefully; if she gets serious, about four or five adults can't get close to her."

Ichika was stunned.

Why didn't you say you had this special ability earlier?

Thinking of how many times she provoked the other party and clearly saw her getting angry, Ichika felt like she had been wildly dancing on the edge of self-destruction.

This was important information, I must remember!

If she really angered Yukino, and Yukino pinned her down in front of Makoto and the sisters so she couldn't move, it would be too embarrassing.

After careful thought, Ichika decided to mostly act as a keyboard warrior online and keep offline interactions mostly to testing and teasing.

When dinner time came, Mayu suddenly arrived. Makoto added a pair of chopsticks, planning to eat a little less himself since he could make a late-night snack later.

During dinner, Mayu and Ichika mostly talked, with Makoto occasionally joining in.

Mayu's personality got along with everyone, and Ichika liked this about the beautiful teacher.

After the meal, the two women took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Makoto stayed in the living room enjoying the male lead's unique privilege.

From the moment Mayu came in, she and Ichika secretly sized each other up.

She hadn't really observed carefully before—turns out Ichika's figure was quite good, with a bust size comparable to her own.

And since Ichika was a blooming young girl, it was hard not to be envious.

Ichika also envied Mayu for her mature woman's charm, something adolescent girls deeply long for.

Ichika had always considered herself mature, but in words and deeds, Mayu had become her object of admiration.

While thinking this, she suddenly thought of a good idea.

Mayu was gentle, kind-hearted, and a neighbor to Makoto.

Ichika casually said, "Teacher Matsukaze probably knows already that Makoto is really popular with girls."

Mayu was slightly surprised: "That's true, he has many beautiful girl friends around him."

Probably more than friends, right?

Ichika kept smiling: "Makoto trusts you so much, and with so many beautiful girls around him, I think you should seriously consider keeping an eye on him for the future."

"Huh? Me? Keeping an eye on him?"

Mayu pointed at her face, shocked.
