"Go wash your hands... I'll go bring the food over."
"..."
After the group had a quick bite of omelet rice, the doorbell rang.
"I'll go open the door."
Kiyono Makoto put down his chopsticks and got up to open the door.
A girl with long, straight black hair reaching her waist appeared outside the door. She was stunningly beautiful and had a languid expression. It was Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Good morning, junior!"
"morning."
Seino Makoto nodded:
"Did you have breakfast, senior?"
"Not yet. I came over right after washing my face and brushing my teeth after hanging up the video call." Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes brightened slightly. "Is my junior going to prepare a meal for me?"
“We just ate.” Kiyono Makoto opened the door for her. “There’s a cup of instant noodles in the kitchen. Senpai, go make yourself some.”
"It's been a long time since I've had instant noodles."
Kasumigaoka Utaha strode in, her eyes sparkling, seemingly unconcerned about eating instant noodles, and simply said with a gentle breath:
"Well, but I'd rather eat the cup noodles that my junior made himself."
Eriri's ears twitched, and she subconsciously retorted:
"If you want cup noodles, you can just make them yourself, right?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and spoke in a languid tone:
"The cup noodles my junior makes taste better."
Eriri snorted softly:
"You've never eaten it before."
"I've eaten it."
"Huh?"
A hint of reminiscence flashed in the senior's eyes as she looked up at Kiyono Makoto, her voice unusually gentle:
"That was a snowy night when my junior and I were alone... I'll never forget the feeling then. (P) Three-year-old s? Nine-year-old 3)
"..."
Makoto Kiyono quickly remembered that he and his senior had indeed eaten instant noodles together when they were caught up in a random dungeon:
"I didn't expect my senior to remember."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes sparkled: "Such precious memories, of course I can't forget them."
"Hey, how long are you two going to keep talking?!"
Eriri quickly puffed out her pink cheeks and rushed between the two:
"Do you mean I don't exist?!"
"Tsk~"
Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked her tongue softly and tilted her head to look over:
"Is Sawamura jealous?"
Eriri, hands on her hips, arrogantly denies it:
"Tch, I'm not jealous at all. I just can't stand that guy comes in and starts ordering people around."
The senior student's eyes flickered: "Junior, what do you say?"
"stare--"
Eriri squinted and looked over.
Kiyono Makoto: "..."
Nishimiya Shoko nervously cleared away the dishes, preparing to go to the kitchen to wash them. The introverted and self-conscious girl had absolutely no courage to get involved in this chaotic situation.
Yukino Yukinoshita, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, observing human diversity.
Fortunately, the doorbell rang again at that moment.
"I'll go open the door."
Kiyono Makoto decisively turned and slipped away.
The door opened, and there stood Futaba and Sage.
The snow globe has been upgraded to a space equipment, and such an important event naturally arouses everyone's curiosity, prompting them to come in person.
"Good morning, Xiaohui."
Kiyono Makoto greets him:
"Come in quickly."
"Hey... good morning."
Kato Megumi stepped into the entrance hall, her gaze sweeping over the girls, and said lightly:
Good morning, everyone.
It was daytime, and Kato's presence wasn't as faint as it was at night; the girls greeted Kato Megumi one after another.
"Kiyono, where's the snow globe?"
Rio Futaba arrived wearing a white lab coat, adjusted her glasses, and took out a notebook, displaying a remarkably rigorous academic attitude.
How large is the interior space of the snow globe?
Does time flow at the exact same rate as in the real world?
"Are other people allowed to come and go as they please?"
"..."
"Futaba has too many questions." Kiyono Makoto slightly moved the corner of his mouth, silently giving a thumbs up in his heart. "I just went in with Eriri and confirmed that there are no monsters inside. We'll only know the answers to the other questions after we verify them one by one."
Rio Futaba nodded gently and extended a slender finger to touch the snow globe.
As a result, nothing happened and everything was quiet.
"...Can't I get in?"
Futaba tilted her little face up:
Has anyone else tried it?
At Futaba's suggestion, the girls all stepped forward to try, but without exception, none of them were able to enter the interior of the snow globe.
"Verification complete."
Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses:
"It seems that only Kiyono can activate the snow globe."
Seino Makoto paused for two seconds:
"When I first entered the snow sphere, a tiny cube floated in front of me. I touched it and it merged directly into my body... Although it wasn't shaped like a key, it must have been a key."
Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, her tone unusually curious:
"Um... what happens if I use a Snowball in a dungeon?"
Eriri's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she said in a clear voice:
"Apart from that idiot Seiye, no one else can activate the Snow Sphere, and the monsters should be in the same boat... In other words, as long as we hide inside the Snow Sphere, wouldn't we be invincible?"
“It’s not that simple.” Rio Futaba shook her head, her tone calm. “According to the information we’ve gathered so far, Paradise will dynamically balance the difficulty of the dungeons.”
"Give me an example."
"Many players will buy high-powered guns, but in certain dungeons, the damage of guns will be forcibly reduced... and even in some puzzle dungeons, the park will restrict players from using skills."
Rio Futaba paused slightly before summarizing:
"If the Snow Spheres could be used without restriction in dungeons, the effect would be too overpowered for other players, and the Paradise would definitely restrict or weaken them."
Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly in agreement:
"Futaba is right. We can't just pin our hopes on the Snow Sphere. Our own strength is the only thing that matters."
Eriri was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this:
"I went around with that idiot Seino earlier, and it was completely empty, there was nothing there."
"Well, it should be good for cultivation."
Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest, her voice languid and pleasant:
"After this attribute enhancement, ordinary training is almost meaningless. The focus of cultivation needs to be shifted from attribute improvement to skill improvement."
“But as everyone knows, cultivating abilities is quite troublesome. Whether it’s a park or a stadium, there is a risk of exposure. The space at home is too small to fully utilize the abilities… The Snowscape Ball is very suitable for cultivation.”
Kiyono Makoto turned his head to look over:
"Senior, hurry up and eat. After you finish, let's go to the snow globe for a field trip."
"..."
Half an hour later. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial sentence.)
The girls were all dressed and ready.
Kiyono Makoto suggested:
"Let's hold hands and see if we can go in together."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was the first to extend her slender right hand:
"Junior, take my hand."
"what?"
