"Yeah~"

Hanako smiled and said, "In order to ensure that our student life does not leave any regrets, Mr. Danrito seriously suggested that we spend some time outside of the cassette tapes and interact with each other in a close and friendly manner~"

"Hmm? Intimate interaction?"

Xiaochun blinked, as if she had picked up some bad thoughts from the memories of [Data Deleted]. Suddenly, her eyes became sharp. "What the hell are you thinking about?! That kind of thing is not okay!"

"Oh~ What kind of thing is it?"

Hanako came over with a smile and said, "I'm thinking about having afternoon tea together, studying together, shopping together. What's wrong with that?"

"Huh? Ah, t-that's it! I..."

Under Hanako's powerful offensive, General Koharu threw away his armor and weapons, and his army was completely defeated. He could only cover his face and shout: "I don't know anything about this kind of thing!!!"

During the passionate interaction between Koharu and Hanako, Hifumi also turned her attention to Azusa beside her. Before that, Azusa had accepted the Peloro ballpoint pen she gave her, which means! Azusa doesn't hate Peloro!

As long as you don't hate Pelolo, there is a possibility of acceptance, and the possibility of acceptance means that you can develop into potential friends with the same hobbies!

"Um, Xiaozi!"

Hifumi grabbed Azusa's hand and said, "Would you like to come with me to learn about the cuteness of Peloro? As a senior in the Peloro community, I will teach you how to get into it!"

"Tathagata..."

A drop of sweat dripped down Azusa's forehead. Hifumi was so enthusiastic that she didn't know how to respond. But Azusa still couldn't forget her special reward. She turned around and asked Danrito, "So, how are your future study plans going?"

"Morning classes remain the same, it's time for the cassette tape instruction," Danrito said. "The pilot program here has proven that my cassette tapes are quite useful in education. This advanced experience can be introduced to Abydos Academy; they're in dire need of them."

"Huh? You're using us as a pilot?" Koharu's eyes were sharp. "Mr. Danrito, you haven't thought about this at all, have you?!"

"Abydos..." Hanako looked up from teasing Koharu. "I heard that Abydos seems to have finally made some progress recently. It seems that the original student council of Abydos has owed a lot of debts..."

"Yes, most of it was the fault of loan sharks, but I've solved the problem for them temporarily." Dan Lidou put his hands on his hips proudly. "However, the creditors haven't been able to collect the money yet, so the debt problem isn't completely solved. But I've asked them not to invest money in Caesar's credit group."

Qianxun first release: 9501 80909

"Ah... this is really..." Hanako immediately understood. "Are you planning to go straight to Huanglong?"

"It's still a little bit off," Danrito said bluntly. "—Let's get back to the point. The afternoon classes will be reverted to your previous study sessions. You won't need to rush through the lessons like you were studying from the tapes during this time."

After flipping through the schedule, Danrito took out the cassette he had put away and said, "I'll arrange some activities for you guys when the time comes. Of course, I have no objection if you want to study on your own."

Dan Lidou has gained some experience as a teacher. Although he handles most of the teaching, caring about the students' physical and mental health is also what a good teacher should do! So, when Dan Lidou cares about his students, he is also fulfilling his teacher's obligations!

"If there's anything inappropriate, just change it! It's a simple matter~"

Danrito pressed the start button on the cartridge, ushering everyone into the game. "This will last until the second simulation test. Let's see how this week's work-rest combination works..."

If we use a development game as an analogy, in the first week, everyone in the remedial class was like someone who had only taken numerical training courses, without considering their social needs at all. However, starting from the second week, while improving the panel values, they also began to choose some social plots that might trigger events.

"I am coming."

Azusa arrived at the familiar Q&A room. Before him stood the NPC, the "Sphinx Mystery" NPC, the "Bengyuan" (Bengyuan). After a week of interaction, this NPC, casually created by Danrito, had transformed from a large, audible ball of light into a fully formed humanoid.

"Please sit down, Azusa-kun."

With long white hair, a slender figure, and a mature appearance, the Collapse Body itself was not sure what it should look like, so when it came to modifying its appearance, it asked Zi to give it some advice.

Azusa didn't have many familiar faces, but the thought of her captain suddenly popped into her mind. So, as she pinched the face of the Collapse Originator, she subconsciously imagined the captain's appearance. And finally, for some unknown reason, Azusa caused the Collapse Originator to change its long hair color to match her own.

"What's wrong today? You seem a little unhappy?"

After the initial transformation, Zi's Q&A room had transformed into the 'Gaia Library,' nestled beneath a turquoise sky, amidst a lawn and surrounded by numerous bookshelves. Amidst the picturesque, sunny garden, a podium and a desk stood opposite each other. The Collapse Source sat behind the podium, perusing an unnamed book.

"Mr. Danrito, the time it takes to load the cassette has been reduced."

Facing the Hōgen-tai who looked like his captain and, judging by his hair color, his sister, Azusa said, "...He thinks we've been immersed in cassette tapes for too long, and it's easy for us to lose touch with the outside world."

"this is correct."

The Collapse Source closed the book and cast a gentle gaze at the girl before him. "In pursuit of my promise, you've indeed spent too much time and energy in this virtual world. Games are only a part of life, but not everything. The same goes for your classmates. However, according to my calculations, your scores should have already passed the first test."

"Yes, but it's not enough." Zi shook his head and said, "I want to get "Mystery of the Sphinx". This level of achievement alone is not enough."

The Collapse Body's eyes became more and more appreciative: "...Then, let's begin today's question and answer session."

Under the clear blue sky, in order to protect everyone's happiness, the girl began a new learning session.

"—what do you think of her?"

Dan Lidou stood in the clouds, looking at the yellow sandy land.

"Azusa is a hard-working and kind child."

Another incarnation of the Collapse Body is responding to Danrito's summons.

"She wants to protect everyone's happiness, and I want to help her."

Danrito looked at the Collapse Source: "What do you want?"

"Yes, I do." The Collapse Source nodded solemnly, "I want to help Zi and do the right thing."

217. Dessert Department, touching farewell!

As for player data, game companies can actually check it.

While player data, including account passwords, authentication information, and more, is inherently private, these days, identity privacy, no matter how important, is ultimately passed on to various companies' databases under various verification restrictions.

Even if you have quit a game for a long time, you can still receive "character voice calls" from the other company. When you recall every detail of the game, you will remember that your private information has already been flying all over the world.

However, the reason I mentioned this is just to explain that Danrito claims to have a completely private room, but as the GM, he himself can see it from the backstage.

"Hmm...but I'm just looking for normal player data feedback. I'm not so bored as to go out of my way to stare at others."

Danrito quit the game and was about to take out his computer to continue his work on modifying the Chronicle game when his keen ears heard a noise coming from outside the window.

"...I think Danrito is here?"

"But... the tea party said we can't go in here..."

The voice was soft and small, and it sounded like someone who knew Danrito. Although Danrito's hearing was good enough to hear the two girls talking, without the help of the Kamen Rider system, this was the limit of what he could hear.

"Hmm? Someone who knows me?"

Danrito closed his laptop and walked towards the window. This area had been designated as a "special area" for the cram school club, a measure Nagisa had devised to prevent further spies from doing anything else. Besides corralling all the suspects, the plan was to prevent others from coming into contact with these "suspects" they had selected.

Therefore, other students were not allowed to approach the area around this building. Trinity Academy was a large institution with plenty of space, so they didn't care about just one or two buildings.

Walking to the window, Danrito opened it and shouted in that direction, "Who is calling Honkami?"

"Whoa?!"

A figure straightened up instantly and met Dan Lidou's eyes. Now, Dan Lidou could see clearly who that person was.

She had golden twintails, a red jacket, and a slightly flushed face, but still had that familiar, slightly unhappy expression on her face—she had the same expression when she first met Danrito.

"What a beautiful classmate, what a rare guest."

Danrito raised an eyebrow. "Then the other one is also a member of the dessert club?"

"Hello, Mr. Danrito..."

The black-haired girl, appearing slightly embarrassed, shyly greeted him from behind the tree. The current situation was indeed a bit awkward. With a slight twitch of her nose and a pursed lip, Ellie bowed slightly. "It's been a while since I last said hello."

"What's going on?" Danrito transformed into a Collapse Virus and flew out of the house, then condensed into a human form. "Team building for the dessert club? Where are the other two?"

He still had some memory of the little guys who nearly came to blows with Danri over cake. He only remembered that when they ran into the After School Dessert Club, they happened to be caught up in a fight over a limited-edition cake. Fighting over cake was a common part of Kivotos's daily life, so it was a must-try.

"Hesha and Xiaoxia set off first to grab a good position."

Hao Mei put her hands on her hips, reminding people of another girl driving a giant robot. She raised her head and said, "I heard that you seem to have been staying at Trinity recently, so I just came to see what you are busy with. By the way, I want to invite you to try the limited dessert. Do you have time?"

"Want to buy me dessert?" Danrito said, quite surprised. "I thought you should have blacklisted me last time."

"S-Stop talking so much! Didn't you divide the cake in the end?"

Haomei blushed, causing Ai Li beside her to smile, covering her mouth. "Haomei, ever since she heard you were staying at Trinity, has been planning to repay your debt. After all, you didn't steal the cake; you just came early and bought it. After coming to your senses, Haomei has seriously reflected on her irrational behavior."

"Eri——! Don't say anything unnecessary!"

Haomei's face flushed red. Her hidden secret was exposed, and she felt a little embarrassed: "Dan Lidou! Just tell me whether you want to go or not!"

"Go, why not?" Tan Lidou said with a smile, "Of course I'll go if someone invites me!"

However, despite his promise, Danrito didn't leave immediately. He would wait another half hour until the morning tape lesson was over before leaving the cram school.

“Aa ...

Hifumi stretched vigorously; she'd been sitting in the game area for a while. Although she studied with Peloro-sama every day, how should I put it…study was all about the atmosphere. Even though she was surrounded by her beloved Peloro, after a while, Hifumi still felt a little…wanted to see others.

"It's really fun to play and study with Pelolo-sama, but I also want to share this feeling with others~"

Hifumi turned around, and the others were forced to exit the study space. Koharu's blush had diminished considerably compared to the first week. Perhaps she'd gotten used to the [Data Delete] thing. While her cheeks still occasionally blushed with delusions, she was now able to maintain her expression in front of ordinary people.

"Huh... This is what it feels like to be an elite."

Xiaochun was very satisfied with the results of her special training, but Hanako had remained the same from the beginning to now. No one knew how Hanako learned in the question-and-answer space. The expressions of the other three people changed after they came out, but only Hanako had the same expression from the beginning to the end.

This kind of determination is admirable!

"Then, according to the adjustment of the study plan, the afternoon will be your free study time."

Danrito stood at the podium, putting away the Mystery of the Sphinx cassette. "Whether you want to bond, continue studying, or just take a stroll around this area, it's all fine. I have an appointment later, so I won't be playing with you any more."

"You have an appointment?" Hanako asked in surprise. "Is this your job?"

"Not really." Danrito said honestly, "The dessert club invited me to try their limited-edition dessert."

"Ah! How cunning! I want to go too!" Hifumi shouted loudly, "It's so unfair that Mr. Danrito can go out! I also want to go to the real Peloro handshake meeting!"

"Isn't the restoration in the game enough?"

"That's different!" Hifumi said seriously, "Atmosphere and environment are both important factors!"

"So, you admit that the Peloro in the game is better restored?" Danrito said with a smile.

"Well... you really can't see seamless doll clothes in real life."

218. Parting is also the opportunity to meet again next time

This is a very small dessert shop.

The store is located on a small road quite inside the Trinity School District, and its customer flow is much lower than that of stores on the main road.

However, even in such an alley, this shop still managed to hold on well, and even managed to attract a steady stream of customers. Regardless, discovering such a dessert shop was a pleasant surprise for the four members of the After School Dessert Club.

"Why is it called a limited edition? Because when not many people know about this shop, the flavor of this shop can only be tasted here, so this kind of taste can also be called a limited edition."

Xiao Xia leaned her shield against the wall. She had already placed orders for several of the store's signature dishes. For this store, preparing fifteen cakes at once was indeed an unexpected workload - usually they only made one or two at a time.

However, since Haomei and Ai Li who went to invite Danrito haven't arrived yet, we'll have to wait as long as we can.

"Hesa, how did you find this store?"

While waiting, Xiao Xia's eyes sparkled, her legs swung, and she asked Hesha, who was sitting across from her, a question: "I just looked up this store, and there wasn't much mention of it on the app. How did you find it, Hesha?"

"Just...sweeping the streets."

Kazusa held her cheek with one hand, looking as lazy as a black cat in the afternoon sun. "Like I said, although I love tasting desserts with you guys, I also like to enjoy some quiet time alone. So when I'm looking for a dessert shop like this, I'll walk along these side streets."

"However, most of the shops on the side streets aren't that great. But there are a few that are truly amazing, like this one..."

Hesha looked at the chef busy in the kitchen. "It used to be run by an old man, but now his grandson has probably taken over. They used to make traditional desserts, and I wanted to try some to see if the taste has changed since they took over."

"Hey~ That's really interesting~"

Xiao Xia laughed and said, "It seems I need to follow you around more often in the future. Who knows if you have hidden treasure shops like this~"

Kazusa's body sank slightly, a natural movement after she sighed. "Please spare me some peaceful time."

"Hesha, Xiaoxia, we are here~"

Ai Li's soft voice came from outside the house. Xiao Xia turned her head and saw Ai Li and Hao Mei walking into the shop with Dan Lidou.

"Hmm, I didn't know there was a cake shop here." Danrito looked around for a moment and found two other familiar people. "Hey, isn't that Xiaoxia and Kazusa?"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Danrito." Kazusa nodded as a greeting, and Xiaoxia waved to them: "Come and sit down, the cake has been ordered and will be here soon~"

A chance meeting is also fate, tripping over a roadside stone is also fate, meeting over a limited edition cake is also fate, and so, parting is also fate that will lead to another meeting. Danrito took a seat beside the others in the dessert department, and Koharu raised her hand to greet the kitchen manager.
