Only then did the turmoil subside, officially concluding the Tsukimiyama incident and sealing it away in archives.

......

The next morning, it was broad daylight.

The mist in the forest had not completely dissipated, and glistening dewdrops accumulated on the broad leaves, eventually dripping slowly under their weight.

The three, who had no choice but to spend the night on the road, began a new day.

"All right?"

Ash held an empty disc, his expression as serious as if he were challenging a Gym Leader.

"All right."

Xiao Gang nodded steadily, his spatula already in place, looking every bit like a soldier ready for battle.

"Pikachu".

Standing beside Ash, Pikachu nodded solemnly.

He indicated that he was also ready.

Immediately, the two people and the mouse moved in unison, all turning their gazes to the starfish that was quietly waiting to the side.

"Go!"

Sea Star nodded.

As Misty's Pokémon.

He was indeed the best candidate to fire the first shot of the rebellion.

Take a deep breath.

With a touch of tragic grandeur in its movements, the starfish darted to Xia's sleeping bag.

He then poked the curled-up figure inside the sleeping bag.

It seemed that the two people and the mouse were about to join the group.

"Hmm~"

But Xiaoxia just smacked her lips and mumbled incoherently in her sleep.

"Stop fooling around... starfish..."

She rolled over, showing no intention of getting up, and instead wrapped her sleeping bag even tighter.

Xing was furious!

This is making myself look bad in front of my older brother!

Mission failure is a disgrace to the planet!

Without the slightest hesitation.

It extended another tentacle, its core shimmering slightly.

A chill quickly condensed, and the tip of the tentacle was instantly covered with a thin layer of frost emitting wisps of white steam.

Then, with lightning speed—

One stretch!

Let's explore!

It broke through the sleeping bag's defenses and precisely nestled against Xia's warm nape!

"Eeya—!!!"

A sharp cry, loud enough to startle a sparrow from the nearby treetops, shattered the morning's tranquility!

Xiaoxia, who had originally wanted to stay in bed, was jolted out of her sleeping bag as if she had been electrocuted, completely losing her sleepiness!

"Starfish! You...!"

She was both shocked and furious, but before she could finish speaking—

The assembly line operation that had been prepared over there immediately started!

Serve the plate!

Serve the rice!

Food delivery!

The whole process was smooth and seamless, with perfect coordination, as if they had rehearsed it countless times in silence.

Before Xiaoxia could fully recover from the cold stimulus and the confusion of being suddenly awakened, she quickly stuffed a spoonful of warm, thick soup into her mouth.

"...Ugh! Ugh!"

Her eyes widened as she tried to protest, but her taste buds were overwhelmed by the delicious flavor, and she swallowed unconsciously.

The soup was perfectly balanced, with the savory aroma of mushrooms and the sweetness of tree fruit blending together beautifully, prompting her to take another sip.

Xiaoxia, still somewhat dazed after swallowing with difficulty, was about to say something to the starfish.

"Pikachu".

But Pikachu has already made its second move.

Xiaoxia subconsciously murmured to Pikachu, who had just handed her the bread.

"Thanks……

Then he looked at the starfish.

"What are you looking at!"

"I....."

"What are you saying!"

Xiao Zhi immediately interrupted, as if time were the most precious thing in the world.

"Do not speak while eating or sleeping!"

"Eat quickly! You'll be on your way after you finish eating!"

The enticing aroma of food wafted into their nostrils, coupled with Ash's urging.

Xiaoxia subconsciously sped up her eating, stuffing large mouthfuls of food into her mouth.

"Faster! Faster! Faster!"

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! Full speed ahead!"

Xiaoxia seemed to be completely led by the rhythm.

Ash, Brock, Pikachu, and Staryu, who had just returned from packing their sleeping bags, exchanged a knowing glance.

"How is it? Does this breakfast taste to your liking?"

Unlike Ash's urging, Brock asked in an extremely gentle and harmless tone.

"It's delicious..."

Xiaoxia swallowed her food and answered vaguely, completely unaware that she was jumping into a trap.

The hot food warmed her up and even helped her get rid of her morning grumpiness.

"Then," Xiao Gang's voice carried a hint of coaxing, "from now on, let's make breakfast according to this standard and efficiency, and eat like this every day, okay?"

"it is good……"

Her brain, not yet fully activated, hadn't even registered what was happening, and Xiaoxia subconsciously agreed again.

Plans are in place!

perfect!

"Did you record it?"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu nodded and made a victory sign with its little paws.

You can rest assured that the mouse will handle things well!

Ash was about to high-five Pikachu in celebration when Brock stopped him with a look.

The four of them, barely suppressing their excitement, began to happily enjoy their breakfast.

Huh? What are they so happy about?

She slowed her chewing, her gaze sweeping back and forth across the joyful faces of her companions.

When they saw Ash and Pikachu devouring their food without any regard for appearances, even their own Staryu eagerly using its tentacles to roll up the food and feast...

Xiaoxia, whose brain had finally completed its power-on self-test and loaded all cached data, suddenly realized the problem.

Something's not right.

She clearly didn't get up to cook!

Where did they get this delicious and visually appealing breakfast they're eating now?

Seeing Xiaogang add rice to Xiaozhi's bowl so naturally, and then add a spoonful of soup to Pikachu's bowl, Xiaoxia instantly understood everything.

She looked at the food in her hand, then suddenly looked at Xiaogang.

"This breakfast...you made it!?"

"correct."

broken!

She fell for their trap!

Xiaoxia's face was filled with grief and indignation as she recalled Xiaogang's words.

What?! Eat like this every day! Follow this standard!

This hater is clearly trying to sideline himself! He's going to take sole control of the team's cooking!

If that's the case... if that's the case!
