The girl mumbled something, then sighed with mixed feelings:

"......really."

Volume 1: Chapter 54 She still has to thank us

After a brief moment of annoyance, Shiina Hiyori did not let it control her emotions.

As a well-read reader, she knows that there are always some troubles that people can't help but encounter, even if they understand the consequences.

It is precisely at times like these that we must remain calm.

only......

The girl's long legs were slightly crossed under the table. She stood on tiptoe, a little embarrassed and annoyed, letting her two small feet rub against each other.

Feeling the still tingling sensation on the soles of her feet, the girl gently bit her lower lip, trying to distract herself.

This subtle difference did not escape the notice of the senior student in front of her.

Are you feeling unwell anywhere?

Kiryuin Fuka rested her chin on her hand, her eyes slightly drooping, and her gaze held a hint of concern.

"A coffee shop of this caliber should be equipped with basic first aid facilities. If it's an injury or an allergic reaction... I doubt the junior would mind running an errand for you."

Su Wei nodded, looking at Shiina Hiyori with an expression that suggested she might not need help.

Hiyori Shiina's face showed a slight bitterness; she was actually quite conflicted inside.

After all, just because I took off my shoes and gave them to that monster, the soles of my feet developed this inexplicable, tingling, ant-like itching sensation... That's just too strange!

'Could it be that I actually have some rare, hidden illness lurking in my body?'

"I didn't feel anything before, but now that I've been dragged into the exam room as an intruder, the excessive tension has caused my mind to tighten, which has led to the physical symptoms?"

'Or is there some hidden pathogen on that monster?'

'And it's the kind of strange disease never before seen in medical history, the kind that will eventually be named after me?'

Something called "Hiyori Shiina Syndrome" or something like that...

Hiyori Shiina let her imagination run wild, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to voice her guess.

After all, it's a bit too embarrassing for a teenage girl to discuss the unusual appearance of her feet in front of boys.

What's the difference between this and dancing naked in the street?

The girl could only shake her head slightly and cough lightly, trying to steer the conversation back on track:

"I'm fine, senior. I was just thinking about some things."

"Actually, we also went through a black ball test the day before yesterday. However, when we confronted the test targets, we learned from them that... those monsters do not seem to be native to our world."

After gathering her thoughts, Shiina Hiyori continued:

"I've been thinking about what roles the monsters that were thrown here, the black spheres that forced us to take the exam, and us who were treated as players... each of us played a different role in this process."

Upon hearing this, Kiryuin Fuka turned to look at the X-GUN that was quietly placed on the table.

"Who knows about things like that?"

She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her tone becoming somewhat wistful:

"Perhaps we are just living in a novel meant for entertainment."

"These so-called black spheres, monsters, and life-or-death trials... are just settings that some unknown author made up to please readers who exist in a higher dimension. Perhaps, he himself hasn't even figured out the specific function and underlying logic of these settings yet."

Hiyori Shiina fell silent.

Unconsciously, she lightly kicked the table frame with her toes, leaving shallow marks on her toes from her stockings, as if expressing her distress over this absurd world.

Su Wei, standing to the side, glanced at Kiryuin Kaede with some surprise.

Although given his public persona, his words don't seem out of place, and there's no need to delve into them too deeply.

But this did give Soviet some inspiration.

'A fabricated setting made up to please people...'

In a sense, she wasn't wrong.

Isn't the Black Ball game essentially a product of his drastic modifications to please himself and pass the time?

As for those monsters, their greatest significance seems to be merely serving as stepping stones for the students' growth.

Suvimo stroked his chin, his thoughts wandering.

It has a system that provides random daily items that will not be recycled.

Putting aside everything else, just considering the gadgets in Doraemon, traveling through time, restarting the world, and even modifying the underlying logic of the world are not difficult tasks for him.

Perhaps, all of this was actually a closed loop created by himself at some point in the future, when he had grown tired of playing with it, using a certain prop to "reverse cause and effect"?

Su Wei believed that this possibility was not small.

However, he did not experience any feelings of guilt or moral burden as a result.
