But what made Ichiko not know whether to laugh or cry was that there were several brand new takeout boxes in the trash can.
She poked her head into the kitchen and found Haruko standing on a small stool, cooking porridge in a serious manner.
As if sensing her presence, Haruko turned around and smiled, "Ichiko is up. I made breakfast. Want to taste my cooking?"
Ichiko said meaningfully, "Really? I saw takeout boxes outside."
What making breakfast?
It was clearly pouring the ordered takeout into the pot and reheating it.
Upon hearing this, Haruko blushed shyly, "I wanted to make it for Ichiko myself, but I don't know how. Although this was ordered as takeout, if you round it up, it has passed through my hands, right?"
"Honestly, secondary processing will make it less tasty."
Ichiko's voice was helpless, but she was very happy.
This kind of Haruko was very rare. She really liked the obedient side of her, separate from the yandere.
And Haruko was acting out this obedience according to her preference.
Having grown up alone in her previous life, how could she not even know how to cook rice and stir-fry? It was just that in front of her.
Being a little more obedient was enough.
Because she liked her like this.
Because of this, she wouldn't leave her.
But at the moment Ichiko turned around, the smile Haruko had been wearing instantly froze, and her pupils contracted slightly.
It was an expression of extreme shock and fear.
In her line of sight, a "Haruko" completely black appeared out of thin air, leaning against the kitchen wall.
She spoke softly, "The obedience you're acting out isn't you at all, is it? What's the point of letting her like you like this?"
The hidden unease in her heart was dug out.
It made her hair stand on end.
At this moment, Ichiko suddenly turned around, "Oh right, Haruko, how about I teach you how to cook next time? Eating takeout often isn't good for your health."
The Black who was leaning against the wall disappeared.
The voice in her ear also stopped abruptly.
Ichiko seemed to sense Haruko's abnormality and asked doubtfully, "Haruko?"
Haruko quickly snapped back to reality, nodded, and smiled, "Okay."
Under the cover of Intermediate Acting, everything seemed so normal.
It wasn't until Ichiko left that Haruko uneasily asked in her heart, "System, did you hear a voice just now?"
["Besides the host and the female lead Ichiko, were there any other voices?"]
Haruko opened her mouth but didn't answer.
Hallucinations, auditory hallucinations?
Is it her inner demon, unconsciously affecting her?
Haruko shook her head, not wanting to think about these things, and walked out carrying the porridge.
After Ichiko finished washing up, the two of them sat together at the dining table.
Haruko blinked, "Ichiko, how do you want to eat?"
Ichiko took out a hair tie, tied her gray-black hair into a ponytail, and chuckled, "How else can you drink porridge?"
Haruko gave two options.
"One is, you drink it yourself."
"The other is~" Haruko drew out her voice, her index finger touching her delicate pink lips, "I'll feed you."
As for how she would feed her, Haruko didn't need to say.
Ichiko had already thought of it.
During the time in the little black room before, her only source of taste was Haruko's "feeding."
Ichiko looked at the obedient Haruko and couldn't help but think, the current Haruko shows no signs of having an episode. It's okay to refuse, right?
She tried to soften her voice, "Just eat normally."
"Okay~"
Haruko nodded gently, without any other reaction.
Still just two words.
Obedient.
As long as I'm obedient, Ichiko won't leave.
She added this silently in her heart.
But then she noticed that the hallucination that had disappeared earlier, the Haruko emitting a black aura, had reappeared at some point.
She was sitting on the edge of the sofa with her legs crossed, propping her chin with one hand, watching this scene with a playful look.
