Huff... run... huff~
Olivia, who’d stayed up late last night deep in thought, finally got her reward—only to have her biological clock completely messed up. She overslept and was woken by her mom, who usually rises later than her.
The flustered girl sprinted all the way with a cream bread clamped in her mouth. It wasn’t about school tardiness—she’d planned to skip class early today anyway. But if she arrived too late and missed Natasha before first period, she’d be stuck waiting two whole hours.
So, the blue-haired loli summoned speed she’d never had even during her past-life 1000-meter PE test. She charged forward relentlessly. Finally, at a corner near the school gate—*thud*—she crashed!
Her vision went black as she slammed into a tree-like figure. She toppled backward, the cream bread spinning through the air in a wild arc—three and a half flips forward, four backward—before *splat*, landing right on her shirt’s chest.
“Ah… gah, hiss, that hurts…”
Sitting dazed on the ground, Olivia finally looked up at the equally stunned guy before her.
Hiss—
Something’s off. This 1.9-meter giant, the flowing chestnut hair, the handsome profile… could it be…
G-Gawain?!
Gawain looked up too, spotting the shocked Olivia. They froze for two seconds, then reacted completely differently.
The Hero was overjoyed—he hadn’t gotten to thank his senpai yesterday. But realization hit: had he just crashed into her? Though he’d been walking normally while Olivia rushed blindly, the boy always blamed himself first. He crouched close, hand outstretched, voice tense: “A-are you Olivia-senpai? I’m so sorry! My fault—I didn’t see you. Are… are you okay?”
On her side, Olivia’s brain crashed. The blue-haired loli stared at the Hero in panic. How… how did she bump into this guy again?! No way! His face brought back painful memories. Nope, she didn’t want ties with him!
Her flustered face twisted into pure grievance, silent, expression morphing into a “> <” emoticon.
Gawain panicked harder, fearing he’d made his benefactor cry. He crouched, glancing around, gaze locking on the cream bread stuck to her shirt. The smeared cream stained the pure white fabric, milky blotches spreading along her perky chest’s edge—looking… rather alluring.
But Gawain didn’t dwell on that. He just thought he’d dirtied her clothes. Was that why she was upset? He pulled out a handkerchief, then—on impulse—gently plucked off the bread under Olivia’s shocked stare. Next, he dabbed the stain with the cloth…
…
“AHHHHHHHHHH—! PERVERT—!”
The blue-haired loli abandoned the bread, clutched her chest, and sprinted off, kicking up dust. Gawain stood frozen, dumbfounded. Slowly, he stared at the cream-stained handkerchief, realization dawning… his face flushed crimson.
No, senpai, that’s not what I meant—!
He turned to explain, but Olivia had vanished.
Oh no!
[Gawain: Guys, you won’t believe this—first thing at school, at the gate corner, I bumped into a clumsy schoolgirl cutie with bread in her mouth crashing into my arms~]
[LOL, classic rom-com setup, so cliché~]
[Real heroine confirmed—script for a heaven-sent win locked in!]
[Streamer’s stingy? Won’t let the MC feel more?]
[MC meets streamer = instant flustered bunny mode~]
Hundreds of meters away, Olivia crouched in a corner, face flushed, panting hard. Her calmed mood reignited red-hot as she peeked at the comments.
AHHH, who posted these?! Any mods here? Mods! Ban them!!!
[I admit shouting for imaginary mods is cool, but your chest-grabbing, face-covering escape was pathetic!]
…
Olivia didn’t dare reply, just ignored them… Yet her heart still raced.
Mmm… groped… touched…
That… pervert!
Sure, it was through clothes—and now she recalled, he’d probably meant to wipe the cream. But… still wrong! Gawain, don’t you realize how intimate that was? So dense, ugh…
Though… maybe inevitable? How else run a harem without being dense and kind?
But no! She wasn’t close to him, didn’t want to be. And why… why had her whole body jolted with tiny electric tingles just now?
But inside, she was a boy, right? Was this reaction too sensitive?!
Ha… haha, maybe… not used to this girl’s body yet? Should she go home and… touch herself more?
Olivia fretted there until a familiar figure passed by. Spotting the blue-haired loli cupping her chest in thought in the alley, the girl greeted in surprise: “An-chan?! Morning~ Hey… what’re you doing?”
“Huh? Natasha?” Olivia dropped her hands, whirling around flustered. A trace of blush lingered on her nose despite her forced calm. “Ahem, I… researching opposite-sex bodies—no, breakfast! Ha… haha… Anyway! Forget that—”
She’d just remembered her mission. Luck! Meeting Natasha at the gate saved her a trip. The blue-haired loli lunged forward, gripping Natasha’s hand firmly, eyes blazing: “Natasha, lend me money~!”
The blonde bombshell froze. After a beat, she tilted her head, eyes wide: “Eh? EH?!”
