The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

This is also why she has been staying in her room the whole time and doesn't have the energy to move around much.

After all, not everyone is interested in an extra patient in their family.

What made her slightly uneasy was the isolated atmosphere of the Starlight Pavilion.

It shouldn't be in the city center; there was no sound of vehicles or pedestrians around the Star Pavilion.

Although it resembles a student dormitory, it seems to house some children around the same age as Nana Ohba and Hibiki Tachibana, and even during class time, you can hear these people talking.

Why is no one going to class?

This further confirmed for Yuki Uesugi that this was not a student dormitory.

After all, how could a regular student dormitory possibly allow her to stay there for several days?

Upon their first meeting, Nana Oba and Hibiki Tachibana immediately pointed out the problem of her ability malfunctioning, and even knew the name "Tomoe Shiraki".

Speaking of Miss Shiraki... she doesn't seem to have woken up yet.

Because Shiraki Tomoe is still unconscious, and the Silver Garden has no one who can solve the problem of Uesugi Yuki's power outage, the tormented Uesugi Yuki can only overcome it through her own willpower.

Although Yuki Uesugi is a person who likes to act cute, that's only when Yuko Kitagaki is around. If she has to face a situation where she has to pull herself together, Yuki will still do her best to overcome the difficulties.

At present, Yuki Uesugi doesn't actually want to go back immediately.

Tomoe Shiraki is still here.

Although it was unclear why Ms. Shiraki was here, she was, after all, a researcher whom he knew and who was quite important.

Although Yuki Uesugi really wants to go home as soon as she regains her mobility to prevent one of her family members from going crazy, she still needs to find a way to bring Tomoe Shiraki back.

At the very least, we should make contact with Tomoe Shiraki.

With that thought in mind, Yuki Uesugi, who had barely regained her mobility, endured the burning pain in her throat and dragged her limp body, intending to explore the house a little.

Surprisingly, despite the many secrets hidden in the house, Nana Oba and Hibiki Tachibana did not try to stop Yuki Uesugi from moving around freely.

After discovering that Yuki Uesugi was able to get out of bed, she asked another person briefly and then relayed the message to her: "Homura said you can move around freely in the Starlight Pavilion, but it's best not to step outside the gate. We'll take you back when it's time."

“…Thank you?” Yuki Uesugi felt that the other party was being a little too kind.

She didn't think an organization capable of creating such a residence in another dimension—let's assume that for now—would do charity work.

Since Yuki Uesugi was able to get out of bed and move around, she noticed the unusual things happening around her, which also explained her previous confusion about the location of the Starlight Pavilion.

The other party somehow managed to recruit a researcher like Tomoe Shiraki, who even kindly saved him.

It's really unpredictable.

Thinking this, Yuki Uesugi struggled to get off the bed and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, she tentatively walked little by little toward the door of the room.

She opened the door, her legs still a little weak, so she had to lean against the wall and walk slowly.

A pleasant fragrance wafted from the other side of the hall.

The lobby of the Starlight Pavilion features a bar, and inside is a spacious kitchen with curtains hanging down.

But is it really too early to start steaming rice at this time?

Speaking of rice...

"Welcome to Hibiki Restaurant. Today is my business day." As she spoke, Yuki Uesugi could clearly recognize Hibiki Tachibana's voice.

However, it was a bit stiff.

Then came Nana Ohba's slightly hesitant voice: "...Um, Hibiki? Isn't today Banana Cafe's opening day?"

She was very confused.

In fact, because she had nothing to do at the Starlight Hall, Nana Ohba would buy ingredients on weekends and provide everyone with desserts that she made herself.

She used to prepare desserts for her classmates in the Starlight Hall of Shengxiang Conservatory of Music.

At the same time, listen to everyone's troubles and offer your own solutions and comfort.

It's always been like this.

After leaving everyone, she felt uneasy if she didn't follow the same routine as before. So, even though the environment was very different now, Nana Oba still kept Banana Cafe open as usual.

She would prepare delicious banana muffins and drinks for the members of the Silver Garden who occasionally appeared, and that's how their relationship gradually grew closer.

However, today seems a little different.

Because, instead of her, standing in front of the bar was Tachibana Hibiki, who was wearing an orange-yellow apron.

"Banana Cafe has been open for so long, at least give Hibiki Restaurant some space." Tachibana Hibiki said impatiently, but the blush on her face betrayed her. "This customer, please have a seat."

Nana Ohba found it amusing; her dream had just stirred up some unpleasant memories, leaving her feeling somewhat listless. She could tell that Hibiki Tachibana was subtly showing concern for her, so she readily agreed: "Okay~"

According to the rule of being open on weekends, the menu is determined by the owner.

However, the aroma of the rice, coupled with the fact that the person standing in front of me was Tachibana Hibiki...

Half a minute later, Nana Ohba smiled and reminded her, "I can eat anything except rice bowls."

"Eh..." Hibiki Tachibana was a little unwilling, "It was really delicious..."

“After all, I’m not a carb fanatic~” Nana Ohba said, her mood easing slightly.

PS:

Today's last tweet: Su Youzi, a transmigrator and a second-year student at Huiqunyuan Private Academy.

Human trash.

When she was seventeen, she finally awakened the "raising a cute girl to become stronger" game system.

Sakura Mai: Yuzu-chan is truly the most alluring person in the world.

Saotome Yukina: Everyone should have at least one moment in their life when they forget themselves for someone else.

Nine Tiger Hunters: She likes me as much as I like dogs.

Su Youzi: Believe me, Xue Nai... my relationship with them really is just a transaction.

Title:

36. Alone

Viewers who flooded into the live stream at 10 o'clock sharp were stunned for a moment when they saw what was happening in front of them:

[Today's camera pans out and we're right in the Silver Garden!]

[Actually, I thought it would be from the Dream Weaver's perspective.]

[Banana seems to have something on her mind...]

Last night's scene was crucial. Although Nana seemed to easily crush her opponent, that stage performance still brought back some memories.

Did she have a similar conversation with someone on that stage?

Hibiki Tachibana, who had been rejected by Nana Oba from her recommendation of rice bowls, clicked her tongue in frustration.

However, she did prepare more than just rice.

Turning around, she put on gloves, took out the creamy roasted vegetables that had been put in the oven earlier, served them with a bowl of rice, and placed them in front of Nana Oba.

Although Hibiki Tachibana is not as good at cooking as Nana Ohba, her time living alone has honed her life skills to an excellent level.

The craftsmanship, while not top-notch, is certainly very good.

Most of the time, when Nana Oba is too busy to manage everything in the kitchen by herself, Hibiki Tachibana will quietly lend a hand.

"...glug glug glug..."

A rumbling sound came from the side.

Nana Ohba, who was sitting at the bar, turned around and saw that it was Yuki Uesugi who had gotten up at some point.

The latter was now clutching her stomach in embarrassment, a distinct blush appearing on her pale face.

It smelled so good that her stomach started growling on its own.

So, there were now two people sitting at the bar eating.

Hibiki Tachibana poured another glass of milk and placed it in front of Yuki Uesugi. After doing all this, she heard Nana Oba praise her:

"Hibiki's cooking is really delicious."

She muttered, "It's alright... but I'm not very good at making desserts, and I certainly don't put in a huge pile of bananas like you do."

This is also why Hibiki Tachibana chose "restaurant" instead of "cafe"; she is only good at making simple things that can fill your stomach, although they taste pretty good.

"So, can we talk now?" Tachibana Hibiki rested her chin on her hand, staring into Ooba Nana's eyes.

Unlike Nana Oba, she wasn't gentle and would use tactful methods to ask questions.

She tends to ask directly when she wants to.

Of course, this only applies to companions.

[Xiang Ye is so considerate. He seems so easygoing, I never expected him to be like this.]

She might look like a delinquent, but she's actually a good kid.

To be honest, it seems like there aren't any truly evil people in the Silver Garden.

[But it really hurts when you hit someone...]

Will Banana talk about her past and her companions?

I'm curious why she reacted so strongly to Shiori Hachiya. In fact, yesterday's angry outburst clearly showed that she was genuinely upset.

[Is this with someone I've only met twice?]

Perhaps he was thinking of an important companion.

The audience was quite curious about Nana Ohba's previously undisclosed state of mind.

Who wouldn't be curious?
