Kaito was devastated at this moment. He felt his internal energy being continuously pumped outwards, which made him even more devastated.

"So this is the side effect?"

He finally understood why Guangyou had that smile, but what was infuriating was that he hadn't objected.

Kaito just wanted to save a tool, but who knew it would turn out like this!

"I will never trust that brat again."

Kaito felt as if his stomach was churning, and it hadn't calmed down yet, making a constant popping sound.

The boys and girls sitting around him looked at him with disdain and got up to change seats.

They were secretly relieved that the movie theater wasn't full yet, so they still had a place to choose from. Otherwise, they would have had to endure the odor or give up on the movie altogether.

Feeling the gazes of those around him, Kaito felt like he was sitting on pins and needles; for the first time, he experienced the awkwardness of being around people.

"Kaito? What's wrong?"

Aoko frowned, covered her nose with her hand, and asked with concern, "Did you eat something bad? Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

"bathroom?"

Kaito seemed to have grasped at a straw and hurriedly got up and ran outside. Before he had run a few steps, he stumbled and almost fell.

He turned around and looked at Qingzi seriously, pointed to the handcuffs that were binding the two of them together, and asked, "Qingzi, can you unlock these handcuffs? I need to go to the bathroom."

"All right..."

Aoko took out her key from her pocket, and just as she was about to unlock the door, she suddenly remembered her purpose. After a moment's hesitation, she made her decision in secret. After unlocking the door, she said to Kaito, "I'll go with you."

Kaito stared at Aoko with his mouth agape in surprise: "Going together?"

Realizing her grammatical error, Qingzi blushed slightly and quickly explained, "I'll wait for you at the door, don't misunderstand."

Kaito nodded to indicate that he understood. Now it wasn't a question of whether Aoko should go or not. He said to Aoko, "Then hurry up, I can't wait any longer."

"oh."

The two quickly got up and left their seats, running towards the entrance of the screening room.

...

Outside the screening room, Kōyū and Ai leaned against the wall and talked by the door.

Ai took a popcorn out of the bucket and brought it to Kōyū's lips, asking with a hint of confusion, "What are we doing out here?"

"nothing."

Guangyou opened his mouth to take the popcorn and replied, "I'm afraid you'll lose your appetite if you stay inside any longer."

He himself didn't care, having been in even worse environments before, but this wasn't a critical moment, and he couldn't do something like eating popcorn while smelling farts.

This is not something an ordinary person could do.

"Why?"

Ai was pulled away from the screening room by Kousuke before Kaito's attack, and she didn't know what had just happened.

Guangyou gave a wry smile, waved his hand, and said, "You'd better not know about this kind of thing; it really affects your appetite... ah~"

"oh."

Ai nodded obediently and stopped asking questions. At the same time, she took out a piece of popcorn and fed it to Kōyū.

The freshly popped popcorn crunched in his mouth, and the milky aroma filled his entire mouth with each bite. Plus, it was Ai who was feeding him, so Kōyū was quite enjoying it. However, this situation was soon disrupted.

"You just wait, I will definitely come back."

Kaito strode out of the screening room, and when he saw Kouyu next to him enjoying being fed by a beautiful woman, his expression became extremely complicated.

Embarrassment and anger were clearly expressed on his face. Although he now knew what Guangyou's method was, he couldn't forgive himself for being embarrassed in public.

Without pausing, he bypassed Kōyū. Kaito didn't have time to argue with Kōyū; his priority was to go to the restroom and then carry out the plan.

"Kaito, watch where you're going!"

Aoko followed behind him, her face full of anxiety. She didn't know what had happened to Kaito, and she was worried that he had food poisoning or something, fearing that he would collapse on the ground while walking.

Kaito didn't respond; instead, he quickened his pace and ran towards the bathroom.

Now, time is running out...

"Pfft~"

...

A poem says:

He left quietly, just as quietly as he came.

He waved his sleeves, leaving without taking a single cloud with him.

"They've gone, but the clouds not only didn't take them with them, they also brought with them an indescribable smell."

Kōyū turned his head to watch Kaito's figure disappear around the corner, shook his head, and sighed softly, "I'll find a chance to make it up to him later, like treating him to popcorn later?"

"Sashimi is also good."

"Pfft~"

Hearing the sounds echoing in the corridor, Guangyou put away his teasing thoughts and thought to himself, "I should treat him to a nice meal; he's having a tough time."

"You really have a twisted sense of humor."

Ai twitched the corner of her mouth, withdrew her hand, and put the popcorn she had originally given to Kōyō into her own mouth.

Guangyou missed his bite and scratched his head awkwardly. Hearing the sound of a movie starting inside, he changed the subject: "Let's wait a little longer before going in. The movie has already started."

"Um."

Ai wholeheartedly agreed. Going in now would definitely ruin her appetite for popcorn, so she decided to wait a while.

After listening to the audio film broadcast for a few more minutes outside, the two returned to their seats inside the screening room.

The air was as fresh as when I arrived, only there were fewer people around...

...

Aoko stood at the door of the men's restroom, and every now and then she could hear the sounds coming from inside that hadn't stopped since earlier. She couldn't help but call out, "Kaito, are you alright?"
