On a pleasant afternoon, the girl lazily stretched her waist in the sunlight. A faint pink scent permeated the air. Looking at the sturdy body in front of her, Alice Nakiri's lips curved slightly upward.
He was finally back. After making them wait so long in this place, last night was finally their revenge! It felt even better than usual, like rain after a long drought.
"Awake? Can you get off me now?"
While playfully touching Alice Nakiri, he put on a 'victimized' expression. These two attitudes were truly infuriating!
Seeing this, Alice, very displeased, reached out and pinched his cheek, molding it into various shapes. While doing so, she pouted. This guy really was the type to blame others first.
They were the ones who were truly being bullied!
Being given the cold shoulder for so long, this guy was truly heartless. Wasn't he afraid they would leave him? Although that was impossible, Hoshino Sora's arrogant attitude was truly annoying!
For some reason, she always felt like she was being manipulated.
"Ugh, take this!"
With his cheek being bullied, he naturally couldn't not retaliate. Hoshino Sora reached out and with a slight movement, made Alice Nakiri tremble all over, and also earned a beautiful eye-roll. This guy had no martial ethics, actually ambushing her when she wasn't paying attention...
"You're cheating!"
In an instant, a blush spread across the girl's face, and after a soft cry, she collapsed onto Hoshino Sora's body. The surrounding girls, hearing the sound, one by one got up and then noticed the two intertwined.
"Me too, Sora, I want special treatment too!"
Watching Alice Nakiri receive special attention, Shiina Mashiro's voice came from not far away.
Before Hoshino Sora could react, Shiina Mashiro directly got up from the bed and pounced, her pristine white blanket falling away, revealing the girl's flawless figure.
"Wait, let me stay a bit longer. I haven't felt this way in a long time. I think it's necessary to initiate the second war."
Looking at Shiina Mashiro, who was snatching her spot, Alice Nakiri immediately stopped her pushing motion. Her body slightly hunched forward in a protective stance, firmly guarding her high ground.
Evidently, her earlier words were just a way to add fun; she wasn't truly annoyed by Hoshino Sora's surprise attack from behind. It must be said, girls are truly hard to understand.
"I agree. After a good night's sleep, my stamina has recovered quite a bit. I can fight again!"
Hisako Arato rubbed her eyes and sat up. Looking at Hoshino Sora, who was pinned beneath Alice Nakiri, she also showed an extremely strong desire to fight.
"Then let Hoshino-kun suffer another defeat!"
"Hmph, yesterday was a huge success!"
The girls spoke one after another, their faces bearing varying degrees of fighting intent. How could over a month of accumulated loneliness be completely resolved by just one or two times?
"It's not certain who will win or lose. Yesterday, I was just going easy on you. Today, I'll definitely show you my prowess! I hope you won't beg for mercy later."
Looking at the girls united together, Hoshino Sora did not flinch. On the contrary, he arrogantly spread his arms, denying their achievements from last night.
"Anyone can talk big. The truth will be revealed in our actions. With so many of us sisters, how could we not defeat you alone? Last night was the best example; don't be too arrogant!"
Yumeko Jabami, Tadokoro Megumi, Mito Ikumi, and Shinohiru had gathered around at some point, kneeling on the bed, their eyes fixed on Hoshino Sora.
After a good night's sleep, they had recovered most of their energy and were ready for the upcoming battle. They figured Hoshino Sora wouldn't recover as quickly, and this time, they might actually see him beg for mercy!
"Then let's fight to our heart's content! You can use any means you want, but this time, I won't hold back like yesterday. I hope you won't beg for mercy later."
Hoshino Sora said with a grin, then took the initiative to attack, reaching out in all directions. His formidable combat power was displayed at this moment, causing the girls' hearts to tremble slightly, and finally, they were defeated, their armor scattered, unable to fight again.
For an entire day, without even having time to eat, the group spent a wonderful night together in the bedroom, completely oblivious to the outside world, which was in an uproar over them. Erina Nakiri had just appeared outside when she was summoned to the principal's office.
"Where did you two come from? Is there a new passage nearby? And this little girl is..."
As Merchant Xingchen was exposed to public view, Lin Han voiced her confusion, her expression slightly shocked. She was certain that this little girl wasn't with them when the two entered the Gourmet Continent.
It couldn't be that they made one in three months, could it?!
"We came from a place that cannot be spoken of. This is my husband's new disciple. As you might guess, she is a native of the Gourmet Continent."
Gently stroking Merchant Xingchen's little head, Erina Nakiri looked up at Lin Han and spoke with a gentle expression.
"A place that cannot be spoken of? It shouldn't be the Dark Cuisine World, right?"
"No, I can assure you of that."
Seeing Lin Han's sudden solemn expression, Erina Nakiri gently shook her head. Upon receiving her affirmative answer, Lin Han's expression improved somewhat, but she still felt puzzled.
What exactly had these two experienced during their month-long disappearance? And where had they returned from? It felt as if things were slipping out of her control.
On the other side, Lin Chichi also received news of Hoshino Sora's return via text message. So, after dinner, she angrily rushed to his doorstep, knocking and waiting for a long time, but no one responded.
After thinking for a few seconds, she bent down, took out a key from under the doormat, and let herself in. However, the house was very quiet at this moment. Although it was night, the lights were off, as if no one was home.
"How can there be no one? Did they go out for dinner..."
Lin Chichi turned on the flashlight on her phone, casually closed the door, and then looked around. After confirming no one was there, she prepared to leave. However, before she left, she heard a sound from upstairs.
"Mice?"
