A cellphone’s ringtone is echoing in our room.
Yuma; ...Senpai, your phone’s ringing.
Yanagi; Yeah, it’s ringing, huh?
Yuma; You’re not answering?
Yanagi; ………
Yanagi; I already quit that.
Yuma; Yanagi-senpai… You’re serious, aren’t you.
Yuma; ...If there’s anything I can do to help you, please tell me.
Yanagi; Haha. Thanks.
Yuma; Ah, do you want a red viper drink?
Yanagi; That's okay. It’s not like I’ve lost my physical strength.
My ringtone, which had been playing on and off for the last ten hours or so, finally stopped. My phone probably died. The person I hold dearest might try to contact me, so I can’t leave it like that. I plugged it in, and my eyes fell on Yuma’s bookshelf.
Yanagi; ...Hey, you like SPICY☆LOVER too, Yuma?
Yuma; Eh? Y-yes.
SPICY☆LOVER. It’s a shoujo manga featuring anthropomorphizations of spices, popular among middle school students.
Yanagi; I just discovered it recently, but it’s quite popular right now, isn’t it? There’s a collab cafe where you can eat the protagonist Karina’s curry, and employees dressed as the characters say “smell my scent” while adding seasoning to you food. It's such a hit you have to line up for five hours.
Yuma; Yes. Because of that-- ah, no. Certainly, the many different ikemen characters surrounding Karina, battling with scents, have been very well-received.
Yanagi; Yeah. But, the one they just introduced, uh… Cumin? The flashy character.
Yuma; Ah, yes. He uses specific spices in the rice shower to stop his lover from having a change of heart. And he’s a painter, right?
Yanagi; A girl I know really doesn't like Cumin.
Yuma; Eh?
Yanagi; “Even though he doesn’t have feelings for them, he toys with however many girls’ feelings he wants for his own enjoyment!” is what she said.
But there's one aspect of Cumin’s character I can't relate to. I wasn't able to protect myself.
Yuma; That’s… yeah. I think she’s right.
Yanagi; It’s a pretty strong criticism.
Yuma; If there’s more you’re not saying, feel free to tell me.
Yanagi; Haha. If I kept going, you’d die from the shock.
Yuma; ?
Yanagi; ...It’s nothing.
Yanagi; (It doesn’t have anything to do with me anymore.)
Mamoru; Everyone at Shinonome Gakuen, good morning! This is Hodo Mamoru of the press club, bringing you an emergency report on the mystery incident that’s sweeping the school!
Female student A; Skin… drying out…
Female student B; Uu… water… water…
Mamoru; You may have understood from that footage; currently, the female students of Shinonome Gakuen are suffering from a “skin desertification phenomenon”, the cause of which is unknown. The number of affected students is increasing rapidly!
Mamoru; Excuse me, could I ask you for a comment!
Female student A; Round… eggplant… looks delicious…
Female student C; Uu~.... uu~....
Mamoru; R-round eggplant? A-as we’ve just seen, hallucinations that every male student of Shinonome is a vegetable are also spreading! The school is in chaos!
Senri; Yuni-tan, listen to this~! When we were in the hallway, a girl told the lion that he looks like he’s “half cabbage, half purple cabbage”! That’s awesome!
Takaomi; Shut up. Didn’t she call you a carrot?
Touji; What a coincidence. Mere moments ago, I was called an “expensive-looking cob of corn”. To notice my polished hairstyle, she knows where to focus her eyes.
Yuni; You all look delicious!
