This is not the date I wanted.

"So, what exactly is this secret recipe you mentioned, Madam Boss?"

Taking advantage of a break from his part-time job, Shidao couldn't help but express his doubts and curiosity, and asked Mengyue.

"Well, it's not really a secret recipe. If I have to say..." Meng Yue paused for a moment, thinking for a moment before she smiled and replied, "Love it!"

He is full of love for his shop and hopes that every customer can show a satisfied smile in this space. He hopes that this shop will become the world's number one ramen shop.

At the same time, I also hope that the people I care about can be happy because of my efforts, so that I will feel happy too.

Then, I used this as motivation to continuously work hard on researching cooking, using my repeated failures as food, and finally achieved satisfactory results.

Well... to put it this way, it's actually just a reason to keep moving forward. Meng Yue looked at Shidao who was confused, and laughed out loud.

"Eh? That's nothing."

"Say...it's up to you to figure it out."

Meng Yue blinked mischievously at Shidao's stunned expression.

"Hey, is my clear ramen not ready yet?"

"Why are you still dawdling, get to work!"

"Eh? Wait a moment."

Just like this, Mengyue House is still doing a prosperous business today.

——————————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line between the extraordinary and the everyday——————————————————————————————---

Gradually regaining consciousness, Shidou opened his eyes and looked at the classroom at dusk. There was no one there except for himself and Mengyue who had just woken up in another seat. He tilted his head in confusion.

"Ah? This is a classroom... Meng Yue, shouldn't you be in the next class? By the way, where is the ramen shop?... So the one just now was... Meng?"

Hearing Shidou's words, Mengyue's mouth twitched slightly.

"Um... Hearing you say that, I'm basically certain that we had the same dream... I feel a little relieved. Orumi, come out and explain."

"learn."

A voice suddenly came out, and Ormori didn't know where it came from, and explained to Shidou and Mengyue.

"What happened just now was a simulation of an unusual love scene that I conducted using my authority. By having a relationship that was different from the usual one, I observed how Shido Itsuka reacted when we were together. This allowed me to more efficiently analyze and understand the nature of love."

"Well... an unusual love story, huh? Finally, there's something interesting in the game setting. I actually didn't feel confused about my identity at all, and the scene was very realistic, without any sense of disobedience."

Meng Yue said with some admiration.

"Well, in terms of correlation and changes in situations, this world has quite a wealth of data."

"That's true. I thought I could live a peaceful school life just like in reality... Well, it's okay."

Recalling the gorgeous sight of Meng Yue who was topless with only a chest binder at that time, Shidao couldn't help but think to himself that this was a good deal.

"...Handyman, if you don't forget the memory that just came into your mind within three seconds, I don't mind using some physical means."

A crisp sound came from Mengyue's clenched fist.

"Madam boss, I have completely forgotten it!"

……

At dinner time, due to special circumstances, Tohka Origami and others gathered at Shidou's house for dinner today.

Then, Mengyue will be in charge of dinner tonight.

"Oh, is ramen for dinner today? It's delicious, Mengyue!"

"...It turns out that this is an enemy that cannot be underestimated."

"Kuku... It's been a long time since we last met. Your skills have improved a lot. As a fellow countryman, I am very pleased."

"Well, it does taste good, but Shidou's cooking is not bad either..."

"Um...Kotori, I feel a little stressed when you say that."

"Oh, this is the first time that Yoshina has eaten such delicious ramen~ Mengyue-chan, you might as well open a ramen shop, and your business will definitely be prosperous."

"...Hmm! (Thumbs up!)"

"Mmm, delicious! You are worthy of being my honey."

"Ramen?... I didn't expect Miss Mengyue to make something like this. I'm a little surprised."

"I'm curious. Mengyue, did you add any special secret ingredients to such amazing ramen?"

"Well..."

Meng Yue chuckled, blinked her eyes, and slowly replied: "Yes, secret (゜▽＾*)"

09 Interlude Black Nun

==============================

The sun is slowly setting towards the west as time goes by. The dim red light shines on the earth, making the day in the game world transition to night.

"I say...why is everyone gathering in my room?"

Shidou looked at the uninvited guests who broke into his room and sat down very naturally, and his forehead was full of black lines.

"Hmm? Didn't we just say that we should all get together later to discuss the current situation? Shidou, are you saying you didn't hear it? Did the auditory nerves in your brain get eaten by termites?"

At this time, Kotori, who was in "commander mode" with a black headband, glared at Shidou and accused him in a harsh and venomous tone. However, Shidou had long been accustomed to his sister's tone, and asked while scratching his head in confusion.

"I heard it, but why is it in my room? Can't the living room be used?"

"Ah, is there something shameful that you don't want others to see?"

"That's not the case..."

Shidou didn't feel guilty about Kotori's smile, but...

"Oh~ This is Darling's room. It looks neat and tidy, and very boyish."

"Sorry to bother you..."

"Oh my god, Mr. Shidao's room, I'm a little excited and curious~"

"The room is filled with the scent of Shidou's body fluids... (deep breath)"

“Hehe, you actually came to this room of my possessions. Then I will try out my duty as the Lord of Hell and open all the treasures in this space!”

"Complain. Yakuya, that's the job of a hero."

How should I put it... Being looked at in the room by a group of women of the same age as me always makes me feel a little uneasy... in many senses.

"……stare."

"Um... Is it okay for Orumi to just stand there and watch? Why don't you come in and discuss this?"

Looking at the Shou who had been standing by the door without saying a word and staring at everyone, Shidou tried to communicate with him.

In response to Shidou's invitation, Orumi shook his head slightly.

"No, at this stage I have no plans to participate. Although I have gained a lot of interesting information from the unusual romance, it is still a little lacking, so for now I plan to remain on the sidelines as an observer..."

"Oh no, there's a serious bug in the game!"

Suddenly, Meng Yue's scream interrupted Huo Shou's words.

“——!? What’s the problem?”

In response to Mengyue's question, a rare serious expression appeared on Huo Shou's originally calm face.

"What's wrong Mengyue, did you discover something important?"

Shidou also asked with great concern. After all, from the perspective of guest appearances, apart from Kotori who already knew about the game, the one who had the deepest understanding of this world was Ryougi Yumezuki who had extremely high attainments in the field of electronic technology.

As everyone held their breath and waited for the other party to answer, Meng Yue said in a deep voice with a very serious and earnest expression:

"There are no pornographic books in this room!"

…………ha?

"Hentai! Hentai! Shidou, shouldn't your room be filled with erotic books like 'Giant Squirting--', 'Rape the Cute Loli--', 'Hornworm Hands vs. Magical Girls'?!"

"Who the hell do you think I am, Meng Yue!"

Shidou shouted in a tone that almost threatened to flip the table.

"How is that possible! It is absolutely impossible for a modern high school boy not to put a few movies in the philosophy folder of his computer or to put one or two erotic books under the bed or in the interlayer of the bookcase! - Absolutely! No! Impossible!"

“Huh? It’s obviously an extreme prejudice, why do I feel speechless? Σ( ° △ °|||)︴.”

"Ahhh~ Darling, this kind of book is shameless~ If you want it... I'm shy but I won't refuse."

"Hmm? What is an erotic book? A book about how to make delicious food?"

"Ah~ Tohka-chan, this is Shidou-chan's secret as a man, so it's better not to ask~"

"To think that such a bug would appear... This is a good opportunity to know Shidao's personality... orz."

"Hahahaha... I have countless erotic books in my treasure trove. I, I don't feel shy at all."

"It is pointed out that Yakushi's face has turned red."

"Hello, haunted! Xixian, you are the same."

By the way, why do everyone seem to be so sure that I have hidden pornographic books in the real world? Σ( ° △ °|||)︴? ! Has pornographic books become a certainty? ?

"No, everyone... This was not a design error. It was carried out according to the normal process."

To Shidao's relief, Orisho shook his head and said something fair on his behalf.

However, after hearing Ormori's next words, Shidou could no longer laugh.

"This game is for all ages, so items above the R18 level cannot be projected into this world."

"Ah~ Orumi-chan, I feel like your explanation isn't really an explanation at all..."

"?"

"No... nothing."

Looking at Ormori who tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face, Shidou's mouth twitched slightly. Feeling the various looks cast at him by the people present, he turned around and silently covered his face with his hands.

My eyes are weeping, my heart is bleeding, I want to say a thousand words, but I can't say anything. If I look at the pit on the ground, I swear I will never get out of it.

Good poem, good poem~ (laughs)

"Alright, alright! This party isn't about chatting with strange girls. Enough with the jokes, let's get down to business!"

Kotori gj! You are indeed my lovely sister!

Facing Shidao's grateful eyes, Kotori turned her head slightly, her face slightly red, and whispered to Shidao hesitantly:

"Um... Shidou, the thing in your room... should be a sister-related one, right?"

"..."

Question: What is the psychological shadow area of ​​Qiu Shidao at this time (laughs).

Well, putting aside the pranks of Yu Xing's show, everyone present sat in a circle and began to seriously discuss what happened in the game world today.

"Hmm...So after a day, does everyone have any interesting information about this world?"

After Kotori adjusted herself with a light cough, she looked around at everyone present and asked.

"Hi!" Then, Tohka was the first to raise her hand with full of energy.

"Okay...Tohka, go ahead."

"Yeah, this world hasn't changed at all! Whether it's Mengyue's dinner or Shidao's bento, they're both equally delicious!"

"Ah... Really. Does anyone else have anything to say?"

In response to Tohka's foodie remarks, Kotori sighed helplessly and continued to ask.

"Come to think of it, what happened with Meng Yue is indeed..."

Shidou turned his gaze towards Mengyue with a slightly thoughtful expression.

"Well, it was a good experience to use Shidao as a handyman. If you come again, I'd welcome you."

"Ha ha……"

In response to Meng Yue's smile that was as bright as the sun, Shidou could only respond with a wry smile.
