There wasn't much to say about the story of "The Ring."
From the mont the videotape appeared, everyone, even Umi and the other two who had only heard about the movie without seeing it, knew that sothing terrifying was about to happen.
Yukiho was fine; she sat on Kaede's other side, and with a boy present, her fear was sowhat lessened.
In contrast, Umi on the other side would flinch every ti a scary image appeared.
Even though Kotori next to her kept comforting her, saying it was just a movie and all fake, Umi still couldn't control her emotional changes.
And as she watched, Kotori suddenly realized that Umi's reaction was quite amusing.
Kaede's unintentional action seed to have triggered a certain girl's mischievous personality.
The ninety-minute movie finally ended.
Kaede got up to open the curtains, and only then did Umi blink, belatedly, her entire body relaxing.
"It... it's over?"
With light returning to the room, Umi felt her body had no strength left.
She said in a weak voice, "How... how did I even watch that...?"
"Was it that scary?"
Kaede, who had returned, chuckled and said, "It should be alright.
Since I knew it was your first ti watching, I gave warnings in so places."
"That's not the sa..."
Even though it was over, Umi, as if holding back a flood, spoke in a voice that was almost crying, "I'm never watching a horror movie again! It was so scary!"
For a mont, Kaede and Eriri didn't know how to comfort Umi.
And just then, the two of them noticed that Kotori, who had been sitting next to Umi, had a strange expression, looking at Umi with an odd smile.
Kaede couldn't help but gasp, wondering if he shouldn't have let everyone watch a horror movie together.
However, Kotori's expression ca and went quickly.
Before Kaede and Eriri could speak, she had already reverted to her usual refined young lady deanor, gently stroking Umi's long hair and softly saying, "It's okay, Umi.
Let's do sothing not scary next."
Kaede quickly followed, saying, "Exactly, exactly.
There are still so snacks at ho; do you want so?"
It took several minutes, but they finally managed to soothe Umi.
Yukiho, anwhile, blinked blankly, as if seeing Umi for the first ti.
Snacks were brought out, drinks prepared, and after everyone started eating, Eriri checked the ti.
She got up and went to the bedroom door; it was ti to wake Honoka, who had been sleeping for two hours.
As soon as she pushed open the door, Eriri's expression couldn't hold, and she chuckled, saying, "This girl, her sleeping posture is really interesting."
Since it was almost November, the blankets prepared at ho weren't thin; they had so thickness.
But unexpectedly, Honoka, after falling asleep, had already kicked off half the blanket in just two short hours.
She lay sprawled on the bed, occasionally smacking her lips, seemingly dreaming of eating sothing delicious.
"Sigh, she's not even afraid of catching a cold."
Eriri walked in, first covering Honoka with the blanket, then nudged her, saying, "Honoka, it's ti to get up.
You've slept for quite a while."
"Mmm..."
Being nudged, the deeply sleeping Honoka slowly opened her eyes, wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Ah, good morning..."
"What good morning? It's afternoon now! Do you even rember where you are?"
"Um... where am I?"
...This girl, she'd probably be easily tricked if taken out.
Eriri shook her head, only able to continue, "It's ti to get up; we're about to have afternoon tea!"
And at the ntion of food, as if by muscle mory, Honoka's eyes instantly widened.
She sat up and said, "Food! Ah... this is... hehehe~~~"
It seed she had realized.
Eriri smiled and patted her head, saying, "Alright, hurry up and get up.
Snacks and drinks are ready.
Change your clothes and go wash up in the bathroom; I'll get you a towel."
"Okay~~~"
After Eriri left, Honoka stretched.
She was completely well-rested and full of energy, so she quickly put on her clothes.
After changing and making her bed, she washed her face.
Honoka ca to the living room, saw everyone eating, and imdiately shouted as she ran over, "Ah! You all didn't wait for !"
Kotori, delicately eating a macaron, smiled and said, "Whose fault is it that you slept until now, Honoka?
An hour is usually enough for a nap."
Umi also didn't speak up for Honoka at this mont.
After a delicious macaron and so fruit juice, she said, "Honoka, you were sleeping the whole ti; how could you know my suffering?
I felt like half my life was gone just now.
By all accounts, these snacks shouldn't be for you; I should get more!"
It was truly unexpected that even the usually refined Umi would say such a thing; it seed horror movies had a significant impact on people.
Hmm, in the future, it's better to consider the psychological endurance of the participants before choosing this activity.
Honoka, anwhile, was a bit bewildered by Umi's words: "Eh? What exactly happened?"
Then, with her younger sister Yukiho's explanation, she finally understood what had transpired.
After listening, Honoka's eyes widened.
She looked at everyone and said, "Eh!!! You guys were just watching a horror movie, and you didn't even call !
I wanted to watch too!"
"?"
Yukiho asked her sister, puzzled, "Sister, do you still want to watch a horror movie?
Aren't you most afraid of those?"
"Of course I'm afraid!" Honoka affird frankly, nodding her small head and saying, "Precisely because I'm afraid, I don't dare watch alone, and I never even think about it.
But today was such a good opportunity; we could have watched it together!
Instead, you all didn't call and just let sleep alone!
Ah ah ah, what a pity! Kaede-nii, how about we find another movie to watch now!"
Before Kaede could speak, Umi imdiately hugged Honoka and shouted, "No! Absolutely not!
If we watch again, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Umi, whose emotions had almost recovered, would truly not dare to sleep if she had to repeat what happened just now, fearing that sothing terrifying might appear from nowhere after she went ho tonight.
Being hugged by Umi, Honoka swayed, unable to reach for a macaron.
She quickly retracted her suggestion: "Waaah, I know, Umi, no more watching, no more watching, let get sothing to eat!"
But unfortunately, Umi had no intention of letting go, leaving Honoka to complain bitterly.
