The fading of the potion's effect was not something that happened suddenly without warning.
On the morning of the day the potion dissipated, when Agnes Digital had just woken up from her sleep, she had already noticed something strange. She felt as if something was trying to burst out from her heart.
But she suppressed that feeling herself.
Just as she had done in the past few days.
She knew what that feeling meant, and she was well aware that as long as she tried a little harder, the barrier that had long been teetering under Kitahara Shinji's attentive care would collapse in an instant, and she would return to normal.
But she didn't do that.
In fact, far from destroying that already shaky barrier, she had been carefully maintaining it these days, fearing that it would disappear one day.
The reason was also very simple.
She was afraid.
But unlike Agnes Tachyon, she hadn't developed any inflated personality due to this potion, nor was she afraid of her own disappearance.
She was just afraid that when she returned to normal, she would find that everything now was just a dream, a beautiful dream woven by Kitahara Shinji to take care of her.
Although at the beginning, she also wanted to return to normal, and felt that she had caused a lot of trouble for others, and had a considerable amount of self-blame in her heart.
But slowly, as time went by, her heart began to gradually change.
Not being able to feel positive feedback didn't mean she couldn't think, let alone that she couldn't tell who was good to her.
From the decisive action when he first discovered her abnormality, to the subsequent five minutes of 'why Agnes Digital is so important', to the twenty-four-hour care and meticulous attention afterwards.
Even though she couldn't feel any positive emotions in her heart, she still felt that this was the happiest week of her life.
Agnes Digital was a genius, and a very precocious and versatile one at that.
This was a good thing, but it also came at a certain price.
For example, compared to her peers, she lacked care from her parents.
It's not that Agnes Digital's parents didn't love her; in fact, her parents were quite responsible.
But the problem was that Agnes Digital herself was too outrageous.
Other children would cry when they first went to kindergarten, but Agnes Digital just looked at the other horse girls in the class and smiled, not needing any comfort at all.
Other children often played or had some interests that required their parents' constant worry and discipline.
But Agnes Digital was able to maintain her grades in the top three, and develop her morality, intelligence, physique, and aesthetics completely. Not only did she learn a lot, but she could also do everything no worse than other children.
The all-powerful horse girl was not built in a day, but started from a very young age.
As for her parents, it's not that they didn't want to provide her with help and care, but they couldn't even think of how to help and care for her.
Because she was truly more of a model child than other people's children, and she was the type that could operate fully automatically on her own. To manage her further would be to nitpick.
As for her excessive love for horse girls, her parents didn't care at all, and even supported it.
After all, their child was already so good, if she didn't have any flaws, they would feel uneasy.
And after arriving at Tracen, she had never received any care from anyone, but had always been taking care of others.
Because she was really omnipotent, and her personality was always enthusiastic, like a flame that would never be extinguished, constantly sprinkling her light and heat on others.
But she was not a real flame after all, nor was she truly perfect. She also longed for return and care.
It's just that her previous passion was too strong, and there were so many horse girls around her.
Let alone others, even she herself had not realized this.
Until that potion extinguished the flame, revealing the ashes beneath.
Only then did she realize that she was not as perfect as she had imagined, and that she also longed to be loved and cared for.
It's just that she didn't think she could enjoy this kind of treatment at first.
After all, she was a well-known pervert in the school, and her relationship with Kitahara Shinji was only that of a team horse girl. And she had already learned his trouble-averse personality very well during this period of helping out.
Not to mention that Miss Hayakawa was right next to her, and had also said that this situation could be handled by her and the Chairwoman.
But he agreed without any hesitation, and then showed an unprecedentedly serious attitude, protecting her to the point where she herself felt it was a bit excessive.
Twenty-four hours of constant companionship, sincere communication where she could completely open her heart, and even personal nursing care and learning new knowledge...
If before, she only had admiration and respect for Kitahara Shinji because of his abilities and deeds.
Then after a few days of care, a feeling called dependence was added, and it grew extremely rapidly, becoming lush and leafy in just a few days.
He let her know that she was actually loved, he let her know that there were many people who cared about her, he let her know that she could actually rely on others, and even...
So, she became more and more unwilling to lose all this.
She became more and more afraid that after she returned to normal, he would tell her that all this was just a kind lie woven to take care of her.
For this reason, she even had the thought of going to Agnes Tachyon to get another bottle of this potion, but she gave up in the end.
Because he had already paid enough during this time, and she couldn't continue to cause trouble because of her own willfulness.
Then, in this struggle and fear, time slowly passed, slowly approaching the destined deadline.
As the effect of the potion faded, the barrier in her heart began to shake.
Everything had reached its limit. Even though she was actively maintaining that shaky barrier, the effect of the potion had a time limit.
A feeling of blockage appeared in her chest, her face began to turn pale, and her consciousness became a little scattered.
Kitahara Shinji discovered her abnormality at the first moment and took her to the infirmary, but after an examination, there was no problem. She was even healthier than an ordinary horse girl.
"Her heart is beating a little fast. It feels like a neurological reaction caused by intense emotional fluctuations. She should be fine after resting for a while..."
That's what the school doctor said.
And according to Kitahara Shinji's own dual judgment from both himself and the system, there was no problem with Agnes Digital's body right now, plus the school doctor's words...
So the effect of the potion is probably wearing off?
Kitahara Shinji also thought of this.
However, looking at Agnes Digital's appearance, he was still a little worried, so he placed her on the hospital bed.
Time began to pass, drop by drop, and the barrier in her heart slowly thinned.
Then, a crack appeared.
Crack—
With a sound like shattering glass, the long-lost positive emotions began to pour into her heart along that crack. A strange emotion began to brew in her heart, and even her gaze began to change.
"Senpai..."
She murmured unconsciously, attracting Kitahara Shinji's attention.
"What's wrong?"
"...Can you hug me?"
The crack gradually widened, and the emotions in her heart began to surge, craving the person in front of her for comfort.
Kitahara Shinji thought she was like Agnes Tachyon at that time, worried that she was about to disappear and feeling insecure, so he didn't have any doubts. After she spoke, he reached out and hugged her, pulling her into his arms.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, I'm right here..."
"Senpai..."
She also subconsciously reached out her hands and hugged the person in front of her, burying her head in his chest, lightly sniffing the only scent that could make her feel at ease.
Senpai's scent seems to be better than that of a horse girl...
I want to stay in his arms like this, but it's probably all a dream...
After I wake up, after I return to normal, he will tell me that he did this just to take care of me, and then everything will go back to the way it was...
"No, it won't."
His voice suddenly sounded.
The girl in his arms stiffened slightly.
"Senpai, how did you know..."
"Because I've encountered similar situations before, and your performance is too obvious."
Kitahara Shinji sighed, feeling the trembling coming from his arms, raised his hand, and gently rubbed her pink hair, his tone gentle.
"The things I said to you before were not said to comfort you, they were all my true thoughts."
"All my promises still stand. As long as you want, you can follow me anytime, you can say whatever you want to learn, and you've helped me a lot, so you can ask for any other reward you want..."
"And if you don't mind, if you have any bad feelings in your heart in the future, you can come and tell me. Although I may not be able to help you solve them, at least I can listen and provide some help..."
"So, don't be afraid, Digital. I'm right here."
After a pause, he lowered his head and smiled at the girl in his arms.
"Do you remember our promise? You can't refute it, and you're not allowed to doubt it. You have to be obedient to me and not have the slightest doubt, because... you're really important to me, and that's not just to comfort you."
"Senpai..."
The barrier collapsed inch by inch, and the suppressed emotions began to erupt.
Agnes Digital's eyes began to become cloudy, and her arms embracing him also began to exert a slight force.
But this cloudiness only lasted for a moment, and then it regained its clarity because of his words just now.
Senpai didn't lie to her, it wasn't a dream, she can still continue to rely on him after she wakes up, but...
Is this enough?
The barrier completely collapsed, and all the feelings accumulated during this week fell like the collapsing sky.
She began to gasp for breath, greedily sucking in the scent of Kitahara Shinji, to satisfy the throbbing in her heart, and her face gradually turned red.
Not enough, not enough, I want more...
Her body began to move up slightly, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and her eyes became more and more dazed.
Senpai, her senpai, I like him so much, I want him so much...
I want to be with him, I want to melt in his arms, I want to be taken care of by him for a lifetime...
Thinking like this, sucking in the tempting scent in front of her, a certain desire in her heart began to expand.
She gently opened her mouth, her arms holding him also began to exert force, and her body also began to move slightly.
I want more, deeper...
Kitahara Shinji noticed her strangeness, but did not show any panic, let alone try to escape. He still held her quietly, with a faint smile on his face.
And perhaps influenced by Kitahara Shinji's calmness, or for some other reason.
The moment her teeth were about to touch Kitahara Shinji's skin, the second before she was about to take some action, Agnes Digital's consciousness returned to clarity.
Then, she froze on the spot.
She, what was she trying to do just now?
Looking at the defenseless neck in front of her, she couldn't imagine what consequences would be caused if she bit down, let alone what it would be like if she let the impulse in her heart go.
Anxiety, fear, confusion...
And just at this moment, Kitahara Shinji pulled his collar, revealing his left shoulder, and then rubbed her hair with his right hand. His tone was not only free of fear and care, but also had a gentle and comforting meaning.
"Bite here, it's okay here."
Because of his contact with many horse girls, Kitahara Shinji knew that some horse girls would subconsciously bite to vent their emotions when their emotions fluctuated violently.
It was not to satisfy their appetite, let alone to eat. It was just a behavior of venting emotions similar to a human kiss.
It's just that because the physical quality of a horse girl is far superior to that of an ordinary person, this kind of kiss is a little more intense, which is also the origin of the bite marks on those trainers at the previous meeting.
And although the physical quality of a horse girl is three times that of a human, in terms of bite force, it is only a little higher than that of an ordinary person, and when they bite, they are only symbolically light bites, so generally there will only be teeth marks, and there will be no safety problems.
As for Agnes Digital, the effect of the potion had just worn off, and she had not received any positive feedback before.
Now that she suddenly recovered, the mental fluctuation must be great.
And with only him, a close person, by her side, he was completely acceptable to her biting him as a buffer for her emotions to prevent her from having any sequelae due to this impact.
And because he was in the infirmary right now, let alone biting his shoulder, even if she lost control of her emotions and bit his neck artery with excessive force, she could be rescued immediately without any danger.
Not to mention that he already had a stamina potion ready in his hand, just waiting for her to bite down and pour it into her mouth.
But the situation Kitahara Shinji had anticipated did not happen.
Although Agnes Digital did approach his exposed left shoulder and did bite down, she bit very restrainedly.
Gentle, restrained, and with a slight tremble.
The lips and teeth touched the skin, but he couldn't feel any pressure from the teeth. On the contrary, because of the excessive restraint and slight trembling, it was a little itchy, and even had a playful and teasing meaning.
It was more like a kiss asking for something than a bite.
"It's okay to use a little more force."
He comforted her softly, not minding using his own body as a buffer for Agnes Digital's emotions.
Then, the moment his voice fell, he was stunned.
Because just after his voice fell, warm liquid dripped from his shoulder, with a sweet and fishy smell in the bright red.
He turned his head and looked at Agnes Digital, and then saw her blissful expression, with blood constantly dripping from her nose.
But facing this strange scene, Kitahara Shinji let out a sigh of relief.
She's back, the normal Agnes Digital is back!
It was just that at the same time, he was also slightly confused in his heart, thinking to himself that there were no horse girls near her, so how did she suddenly get excited?
However, he didn't dwell on it for too long, and soon put it behind him as a result of the potion wearing off.
Seeing him look over, Agnes Digital also turned her head, the strong feelings in her heart almost turning into substance.
"Senpai, I—"
She looked like she wanted to say something.
But in the next second, as her emotions and consciousness recovered, other things that had been suppressed behind them also began to emerge.
For example, pleasure.
Before she could finish her sentence, along with the pleasure that almost melted her whole person, Agnes Digital's body stiffened for a moment, and then...
Thump—
With a literal river of blood, Agnes Digital's body quickly went limp in Kitahara Shinji's arms, and her brain also entered a brief shutdown due to the stimulation of excessive pleasure, instantly losing consciousness.
But even though she was unconscious, her expression was still very satisfied.
She kept muttering "Kitahara" and "Senpai" in her mouth, as if her world was only left with these two words.
As for Kitahara Shinji, he looked at her lying in his arms, and then at his clothes that were half-soaked with Agnes Digital's blood, and sighed with some exhaustion.
I just bought these clothes last week...
But even so, he didn't blame Agnes Digital at all.
He carefully put her back on the bed, and after a dual judgment with the system and his own eyes that she was fine, he called a doctor to check on her again.
After confirming that it was just her old habit acting up, he didn't worry too much.
After all, she often had nosebleeds when looking at horse girls, and this time, because she fainted in advance, the bleeding wasn't particularly heavy.
But even so, he still didn't leave. He still stayed by her bedside, and then took out two phones.
One was to browse forums and group chats, and the other was to help Agnes Digital with her work, while also keeping an eye on Agnes Digital's condition on the hospital bed.
And just as he was seriously playing with his phone, Agnes Digital's head tilted slightly, and her originally closed eyes also opened a slight crack, secretly sizing him up.
Senpai really didn't lie to her...
Then she...
Not knowing what she was thinking, some blood flowed from Agnes Digital's nose again, and then she completely fainted.
But this time, the expression on her face seemed to be even more satisfied than before.
And happy.
