Now, less than half an hour remained before returning to the Warhammer world.
Ejie opened a dose of Panacea and consumed it.
Don't misunderstand—it wasn't to restore his energy.
After all, after nearly five hours of those indescribable activities, his body was certainly somewhat depleted.
It was purely to let his body gain more strength and energy in advance, so that when he returned, he could easily resist that harsh situation.
As for why he didn't wait until just a few minutes before being transported back to take it, it was because taking the Panacea then might not allow the medicine's energy to be fully released in just a few short minutes.
"Mm, this really suits you better."
The gentle yet somewhat seductive voice came from the tender lips before him, her hands also adjusting his collar slightly. She was like a virtuous wife properly grooming her husband who was about to go out.
So Ejie also looked at himself in the full-length mirror beside him. His attire wasn't some formal suit and tie outfit, but rather Gothic-style clothing.
He had to say, Saeko's intuition was quite accurate—this attire was very fitting for the world he was returning to.
Though it would immediately be put to the torch after returning.
"By the way, do you really want to use that place?"
"What?"
Ejie momentarily couldn't understand what Saeko Busujima was saying.
"That place Mrs. Takagi almost mistakenly used at first."
This statement made Ejie's face stiffen slightly, his expression showing some embarrassment.
His embarrassment wasn't because Saeko Busujima had discovered this point.
Because Saeko Busujima's playful gaze seemed to say that he had seemed very eager for Yuriko Takagi to go with the mistake, and that Yuriko Takagi's character type excited him even more.
So seeing that he was actually thinking about this lady made him feel somewhat guilty.
As for Saya Takagi's request for him to temporarily become that person in Yuriko Takagi's delusional world, Ejie currently felt no guilt about it.
If he felt guilty, he would have refused from the beginning.
He didn't want to be that hypocritical and pretentious.
Though actually he was still somewhat hypocritical, because he somewhat acted as if he was compelled to do it due to Saya's request.
"Ahem!"
A deliberate cough sounded. Looking over, it was the twin-tailed glasses girl glaring at him.
Obviously, she had heard Saeko Busujima's words.
After a brief silence—
"You will come back, right?"
Saya Takagi asked this, her angry gaze becoming complex.
"This..."
"Of course he'll come back. After all, he's probably thinking about some rice bowl dish. If you, Takagi, directly promise this now, he'll definitely fight desperately to survive and come back to eat this feast."
This statement left Ejie speechless as he looked at Saeko Busujima.
By the way, how did she know about that meme? She probably learned it from Black Cat.
Don't slander him like that—he wasn't thinking that.
Well, okay, maybe just a little bit.
However, with Saeko Busujima's interruption, the words that would have made the atmosphere depressing were swallowed back.
Saeko Busujima did this deliberately, not wanting him to say it.
Thinking about it, what he wanted to say would be like setting a classic flag in anime if he said it.
Saeko Busujima might not know about the "flag" meme, but she roughly understood what he would say. It might seem like jinxing things, so she forcibly interrupted with such words to change the atmosphere.
"You, you pervert, what are you thinking!"
Saya Takagi seemed to be trembling with anger, her twin tails almost standing on end.
Look at those exposed fangs grinding—she seemed like she wanted to bite him hard.
The next second, Saya Takagi suddenly grabbed an empty beer can beside her and threw it at the doorway, startling the people there.
Two people were hiding there—two girls with very similar character designs in his view: Mikoto Kiba and Rei Miyamoto.
"Um, we didn't hear anything."
Knowing she'd been discovered, Mikoto Kiba stopped hiding at the doorway and walked in, making this obviously guilty statement.
No one had asked what she heard, yet she revealed herself—wasn't this exactly "protesting innocence"?
"Yeah, didn't hear anything about rice."
Rei Miyamoto's face also stiffened—she was really bad with words...
It must be because her brain was still affected by alcohol, making her easily blurt out her thoughts.
Then, her brain couldn't help but recall the scene she'd witnessed, leaving Rei Miyamoto's feelings very complex.
After Teacher Shizuka and the others had engaged in that competition and burst into that scene, they weren't shocked by it but participated instead.
So Rei Miyamoto couldn't help but have such thoughts.
Why hadn't she also gotten hot-headed and joined in? Why hadn't she gotten completely drunk?
Then the atmosphere became very subtle, everyone falling silent as time flowed, approaching 4 AM.
The closer it got, the more restless emotions appeared on everyone's faces. Only two people remained relatively calm: Ejie himself and Saeko Busujima.
"Don't..."
Saya Takagi immediately swallowed back an ominous word.
She wanted to say "don't die," but saying that felt like setting a flag.
The reason she was so uneasy was that this guy had now taken several more doses of Panacea.
Being smart, she immediately realized that after he left, the place he was returning to would immediately have unimaginable encounters that would immediately injure him, forcing him to use multiple doses of Panacea in advance.
"Ten seconds left."
Senior Saeko Busujima suddenly said this, making Saya Takagi's face change.
Looking at the wall clock, there were clearly three minutes left until 4 o'clock.
Then she immediately realized this clock was running slow.
Hearing this, Mikoto Kiba also became nervous, widening her eyes without blinking.
She wanted to see how this mysterious guy, who seemed to be from the future, would leave.
"Ten seconds?"
Rei Miyamoto was stunned, her lips moving. What should she say?
"If—if you come back, I—I and Mom..."
These shy and embarrassing words became quieter and quieter. Then, just when she seemed about to reach the key content, it was suddenly cut off.
Because the person disappeared without warning, leaving the speaker stunned.
