Late afternoon light filtered through the curtains of Akari Hayashi's bedroom, casting long golden stripes across the floor. She sat cross-legged on her bed, staring at the glowing blue System Shop interface hovering in front of her. Twenty-four point eight million points sat comfortably in her account, but one ability had been nagging at the back of her mind for days.
Sacred Gear: Food Summon.
She hadn't used it once since the early days. Unlimited food was nice when she was still pretending to be a normal civilian, but now? With twenty-four million points, captured fallen angels, Boosted Gear, Fiendfyre, and holy weapons, it felt… redundant.
More than redundant. It was dangerously OP. If anyone in this world ever found out she could summon infinite gourmet meals, mythical ingredients, or entire banquets on demand, it would break the global economy overnight.
Restaurants would collapse. Farms would go bankrupt. Black markets would riot trying to get their hands on her power. It was too flashy, too noticeable, and she no longer needed the crutch.
Akari exhaled slowly.
"Time to let it go."
She tapped the shop open.

A faint ripple passed through her soul as the ability detached cleanly. No backlash. No loss of anything else. The shop had made the Infinite Womb obsolete, and now it had made Food Summon obsolete too. She felt lighter. Cleaner.
Akari leaned back against the headboard, a small, satisfied smirk tugging at her lips.
"Damn… I just saved this world's economy," she muttered to herself. "No more infinite food glitches crashing markets. You're welcome, humanity."
She closed the shop, stretched, and stood up. The house was quiet — Asia was still resting upstairs after yesterday's events. Akari had work to do later, but for now, she felt good. Really good.
