"..."

Bai Yi stared blankly at Sakuragi Hitomi's lovely flower-like smile, feeling goosebumps rising all over.

Sakuragi, you...

Why are you looking at me with such a sinister smile?

"Come on, eat up, Bai Yi～"

"..."

Bai Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked down at the Western breakfast on the table, even suspecting that Sakuragi Hitomi wanted to poison them all.

"I'm starting."

However, Ye Shiyu did not suspect a thing, merely bowing her head to pick up bread and the high-end jam beside it.

But under her expressionless exterior, the gaze she cast at Sakuragi Hitomi wearing an apron was equally inhuman!!

An apron?

It's just the outfit that suits you, Sakuragi Hitomi...

But, seeing that your cooking skills are not bad, maybe in the future, when Xiao Huan and I start a new family, we could hire you as a nanny?

Then when Xiao Huan and I go on dates, you can dutifully stay behind to clean the house for us.

Just like tomorrow.

"Aw!"

Thinking so, Ye Shiyu bit into the bread, as if tearing into the flesh of the other losers.

"Tastes good, aw!"

Only Spencer felt simply happy and thought Sakuragi Hitomi's breakfast was delicious.

She couldn't sense the eerie atmosphere at the dining table at all.

But Bai Yi couldn't hold it any longer.

Holding the bread, she couldn't help but ask,

"Did something happen yesterday that you didn't tell me?"

"..."

At these words, the room fell silent instantly.

Then, Ye Shiyu and Sakuragi Hitomi both answered almost in unison,

"Hehe, how could that be, Bai Yi..."

"No."

You guys are acting weird, you know?

Bai Yi didn't believe them and pressed on,

"Really?"

However, the responses from Sakuragi Hitomi and Ye Shiyu were equally synchronized,

"Of course it's true."

"Mm."

"..."

Bai Yi increasingly felt there was something fishy with the two, but she couldn't tell what exactly.

And this feeling of knowing something's up but not knowing what made Bai Yi scratch her head in frustration.

Having no choice, she turned her gaze to Spencer.

Spencer, you're an honest person, I trust you wouldn't lie to me, right?!

"Spencer, what about you?"

"Aw?"

Enjoying her bread, with a bit of jam at the corner of her mouth, Spencer glanced at her.

"Mmm..."

Then, she actually sank into thought, as if the answer was about to surface.

What kind of reaction is this?!

At this moment, not only was Bai Yi full of anticipation, but even Sakuragi Hitomi and Ye Shiyu were inevitably drawn to her attention.

But in the next second, she suddenly smiled and bit into the bread, saying,

"Not telling you, aw!"

"..."

The atmosphere at the table returned to harmonious tranquility, filled with sunshine.

Nobody spoke, but it seemed everyone had a bright future ahead.

Only Bai Yi almost choked on her frustration.

Am I human, am I even human?!

Damn it, what are you hiding from me?!!!

...

...

"An Le..."

At this moment, in the restaurant offering breakfast at the hotel opposite the apartment, Yan Huan and An Le each carried a breakfast to their seats.

Seated, An Le had just picked up her chopsticks when the motionless Yan Huan suddenly spoke, drawing her attention.

"What's up, Xiao Huan."

Yan Huan looked up at her, paused for a second, then asked,

"Nothing much, just wanted to ask about your plans afterward."

"Hmm..."

As An Le thought, her mind inevitably surfaced the earlier Tentacle Purgatory interface.

Maybe later she would find a chance to activate it, expelling the superpowers of the other hosts, and finally willingly give up Little Thumb.

Originally, she planned to fulfill that promise with Xiao Huan before...

But now, Xiao Huan had already forgotten.

And she no longer wanted to use her abilities to do so either.

Perhaps Kuixiang and Hayashi were right...

Even if they did that, it wouldn't make them truly a couple.

If that's the case...

Then so be it.

Thinking so, An Le revealed a somewhat relieved smile, then said,

"I... don't really want to stay with the study group anymore; maybe I'll go back to reunite with the main group for more training soon."

Actually, An Le had no intention of reuniting with the main group; she just wanted to keep Yan Huan in the dark while she first checked out Tokyo.

She needed to find a suitable place to unleash Tentacle Purgatory.

"..."

However, Yan Huan almost instantly realized she was lying.

Yan Huan lowered her eyes, but the next moment, she bit her lip and said,

"...the day after tomorrow, An Le."

"The day after tomorrow?"

"Yes. I'll come to find you the day after tomorrow. Before that, I have a bit... to wrap up about the study group."

Yan Huan raised her eyes and looked into An Le's eyes, speaking word by word,

"Before then, don't do anything, okay?"

"Don't... do anything?"

An Le was puzzled, but Yan Huan flashed a lovely smile and said,

"Yes, after all, I'll be coming to find you the day after tomorrow. We'll go out and have fun then. If you go out to play ahead of time, won't it be boring?"

"Is this... so..."

An Le thought Yan Huan knew what she was planning to do, which made her a bit nervous.

Unexpectedly, it was because...

Eh, eh, eh?

"Wait, is Xiao Huan going to hang out with me the day after tomorrow?"

The next second, An Le showed a surprised expression.

"Yes."

Yan Huan nodded, affirming this promise.

Tomorrow, she would go to Akihabara to get the Crab Medicine and then find An Le the day after tomorrow.

Just one day...

Just wait for me for one day!

During this time, you can't do anything...

"Can you promise me, An Le?"

"Of course!"

An Le nodded happily but still shyly scratched her cheek,

"But if I don't do anything, should I just stay in the hotel all day tomorrow?"

"It's not that you can't do anything, otherwise it would be too miserable. Hmm... or you could think about where we should go the day after tomorrow?"

Just don't cause any trouble for other hosts.

"Okay, I promise you, Xiao Huan."

Looking at Yan Huan's sincere gaze, An Le pressed her lips together and smiled in agreement.

For some reason, after hearing Yan Huan's invitation, the heaviness in her heart unconsciously lightened a bit.

Then...

After going out with Xiao Huan the day after tomorrow, go ahead with that thing.

That's what An Le thought.

Seeing her agree, Yan Huan finally let out a sigh of relief and picked up her chopsticks.

Thus, breakfast was quickly resolved.

After eating, Yan Huan and An Le temporarily parted ways at the hotel entrance.

Yan Huan needed to go back to the apartment. Since tomorrow was the official battle, today she had to check if there was anything exposed and ensure safety.

Plus, it was only this morning when she woke up that she suddenly remembered:

She forgot to invite Bai Yi to Akihabara tomorrow.

In any case, she had to be fully committed to tomorrow's life-and-death rush.

"Then I'm off, An Le."

"Okay, Xiao Huan, see you."

"We'll see each other the day after tomorrow."

"See you the day after tomorrow!"

An Le waved her hand, standing there obediently, watching Yan Huan leave with a smile on her face.

Only when she couldn't see Yan Huan anymore did she withdraw her gaze and wonder,

"So... what should we do today and tomorrow?"

Just when An Le was puzzled, her phone suddenly rang.

"Ding~"

Is it mom and dad?

An Le wondered as she picked up her phone and found it was a message from Plane.

Miyake Huhu: "Hello, Xiao An Le, you should be in Ying Country now, right?"

Peace and Joy: "Yes, yes, we are! Why, Teacher Miyake?"

"Ah, remember I invited you to an event during the previous physiology class? I was wondering if you have time tomorrow?"

Tomorrow...

An Le originally planned to scout the area first, but for some reason, she changed her mind after Yan Huan's invitation just now.

Forget it, everything should be left until after the day after tomorrow.

So, tomorrow, just go out with Teacher Miyake to join the event...

"Yes, Teacher Miyake!"

"That's great, there are many teachers from Ying Country here, you'll surely be amazed! And there are so many things here that match your taste~"

"Hmm..."

An Le was a bit socially anxious, not really interested in the former, but the latter intrigued her quite a bit.

So she could only continue typing, asking,

"Then I'll come over tomorrow. Where should I meet up with Teacher Miyake?"

"Where are you staying in Tokyo? Should I come pick you up tomorrow?"

"No need, no need, I'll just take the subway!"

An Le always instinctively refused to trouble others with things like that.

"Alright then..."

Knowing An Le's nature, Miyake Huhu did not insist and simply replied,

"Tomorrow our event is in Akihabara. Just come over at noon. Once you're there, I'll meet you at the station, and we'll all have lunch together!"

Seeing the text from Miyake Huhu, An Le pressed her lips together and showed a slight smile,

"Okay!"
