"Excessive, too excessive, not even a single bite for me…"
The Secretary was teary-eyed, slumped on the table, her morale having plummeted to negative.
She couldn't cheer up at all.
Although she knew it was for her own good, she still felt incredibly wronged.
Marin ate so much, and she got nothing, it was too biased!
"Here."
Half a portion of fried rice was suddenly placed in front of Fujiwara Chika.
"Eh?"
Fujiwara Chika looked up in surprise.
Amamiya Natsuki said as a matter of course:
"As a chef, it's normal for me to have a shaky hand, isn't it?"
"You actually shook out that much." Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but say, "Black-hearted chef!"
Amamiya Natsuki handed the spoon to Chika and said:
"Eat quickly, time is short, and there are other things to be busy with."
"I'm deeply grateful!"
Fujiwara Chika's eyes sparkled, and she quickly took the spoon, "I'm eating!"
As she took a bite of the glowing fried rice, the girl's joyful moan once again echoed through the Cafeteria.
It was as if it had magic, making people blush and their hearts race.
A moment later.
After finishing half a plate of fried rice, Fujiwara Chika's pretty face was flushed like fire, and she trembled slightly as she lay on the table, her eyes like a spring pool, ready to overflow at any moment.
"Strange, why does it feel like Chika is eating a different dish than me?"
Kitagawa Marin's voice was puzzled, and she gently tugged on Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, whispering.
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head to look: "That's because you haven't seen how other people eat glowing dishes."
It is well known that humans cannot create something they have never understood in a dream.
Marin had never been to the izakaya, had never seen Miss Sakurako and The Slit-Mouthed Woman eat, so she naturally couldn't understand Chika's reaction.
"…Finished?"
Fujiwara Chika felt a sense of loss.
"Get up, go find Kaguya." Amamiya Natsuki reached out and said, "If there's enough time later, I'll make you another portion."
Fujiwara Chika's eyes sparkled, she took Amamiya Natsuki's hand, quickly got up, and clenched her fists, saying:
"Full health restored."
"I can take on ten!"
"…"
The two companions were gathered again.
The three left the Cafeteria and walked towards the courtyard.
Along the way, the two girls chattered about what had happened since they separated.
"You actually encountered so many things." Kitagawa Marin exclaimed.
"Eh, eh, this is already the second restart?!"
Fujiwara Chika was equally shocked.
"That's right." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Chika, sighed, "The last time I saw you was in the Cafeteria, you were eating tonkotsu ramen, and this time I see you, you're still eating, you're definitely a foodie."
"I don't know why I was in the Cafeteria." Fujiwara Chika stammered, her pretty face slightly red, "It's normal for girls to like delicious food, right?"
"That's right." Kitagawa Marin put her right hand on her hip, chiming in, "A love for delicious food is a girl's nature."
That's true, but of the three of you, one is quietly reading, one is taking a bath in her room, so why are you the only one in the Cafeteria?
"Eh, eh, I see Kaguya-chan."
Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up, and she pointed towards the cherry blossom tree.
Amamiya Natsuki looked in that direction.
A full moon hung in the sky.
The moonlight was like water.
Making one's heart clear.
Under a huge cherry blossom tree, a girl in a bunny girl costume was once again sitting on a long bench, quietly reading a book.
The three headed straight for Kaguya.
"Kaguya-chan!"
Fujiwara Chika opened her arms and hugged Shinomiya Kaguya's body tightly.
Shinomiya Kaguya frowned slightly, and her voice was cold:
"Fujiwara, why are your clothes wet?"
"Cough cough, it's sweat."
The water that wets clothes is not necessarily sweat; it could also be other liquids.
"Don't touch me." Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head away in disgust, reaching out to push Chika away, "Go take a bath and change your clothes quickly."
"What, Kaguya-chan actually dislikes me?"
Fujiwara Chika feigned grievance.
"Yes."
Miss Ice Princess never spoke indirectly.
Amamiya Natsuki said from the side:
"With so much sweat on you, if it were me…"
"Stare—"
The Secretary puffed out her cheeks and glared.
"I don't dislike it." Amamiya Natsuki said seriously, "You can hug me for as long as you want."
"Hmph."
Fujiwara Chika softly snorted, then finally moved her gaze away, satisfied.
Miss Ice Princess looked up upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashing in her beautiful eyes.
To speak to Fujiwara in such a tone, what was the relationship between this man and Fujiwara?
Kitagawa Marin put her right hand on her hip and asked:
"Natsuki, how do we wake Kaguya-san up?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Wake up... What does that mean?"
"You won't be able to understand it now," Fujiwara Chika waved her hand, "You'll know later."
"Different people require different methods," Amamiya Natsuki pressed his eyes, pretending to be Miko, "After activating Miko's ability, I can occasionally see strange knowledge... You all step back a bit, leave the rest to me."
"Alright."
Chika and Marin didn't waste time; they stepped back upon hearing him, leaving the space under the cherry tree to Amamiya Natsuki.
"Kaguya-san, Chika is your best friend, isn't she?"
Amamiya Natsuki sat on the other end of the bench.
Shinomiya Kaguya closed her book, turned to look at him, her voice cool and clear: "What do you want to say?"
"You also don't want your best friend to be hurt... No, let's try again." Amamiya Natsuki interlaced his fingers, "Kaguya-san, have you ever seen The Matrix?"
"I've heard..."
Amamiya Natsuki completed it a step ahead:
"I've heard of it."
He then continued: "Do you think the world before us is real or illusory?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face showed no expression as she said:
"If you want to..."
"If you want to discuss the brain in a vat problem, is that it?"
Amamiya Natsuki once again finished her sentence first.
Shinomiya Kaguya's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
What's wrong with this man?
Why does he know what I'm about to say?
"Let's continue. For the next questions, please answer silently in your mind; don't speak them aloud," Amamiya Natsuki extended a finger, "Do you like a bunny girl uniform?"
Shinomiya Kaguya silently thought: "No."
Amamiya Natsuki synchronized: "No."
"If someone forced you to wear a bunny girl uniform, what would you do?"
"Make him disappear."
"Make him disappear."
"..."
The eerie synchronization, identical down to a single word, made Shinomiya Kaguya furrow her brows, and she couldn't help but say:
"...Mind reading?"
"No," Amamiya Natsuki shook his head, "The fact is the world is restarting; we've had the same conversation many times already."
"Impossible."
Shinomiya Kaguya instinctively denied it, finding it unbelievable and utterly absurd.
World restarting?
What kind of concept is that?
I'd rather believe you have mind-reading superpowers!
However... the seed of doubt had already been planted.
"Then, may I ask why you are wearing a bunny girl uniform?"
Amamiya Natsuki raised the small mirror he had prepared, and while Kaguya was doubting life, he quietly approached her.
Waiting for the seed to slowly sprout and grow?
Of course, he would eat the seed along with everything else!
"Not much time left."
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly showed a solemn expression and looked up at the sky.
Miss Ice Princess lost her composure and instinctively looked up with him.
The next moment.
Amamiya Natsuki revealed his true intentions; in front of Chika and Marin, who were not far away, he suddenly attacked again, forcibly kissing Miss Ice Princess.
