Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

Seeing Hayakawa Rena walk into the house, Kageyama put away his insect device and quickly followed.

"Poor Kageyama, being played like a puppet by a woman."

Yuuma sighed and shook his head. He had previously thought highly of Kageyama's relationship.

Now, he feels that Kageyama can't handle this woman.

From Yuzuru's own perspective, he felt that Hayakawa Rena also carried a secret that no one else knew.

"Is it fate that brought us all together?"

Yuzhen stared at the store entrance for a moment, suppressing her doubts.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's go inside and have dinner. I believe this was just a minor incident tonight."

"Tonight's banquet was prepared by Heaven itself."

Yuzhen smacked his lips; it had been a long time since he had tasted a meal cooked by Tiandao.

"When can we invite Shuhua out for dinner too?"

The group walked into the store together, and Yuzhen walked up to Tendou and asked him a question.

Tendou looked wary, sized up Yuuma, and slowly said, "She's still in high school, so she doesn't have much free time."

"Besides, the alien insects have already dragged too many people down with them, and the tree flower cannot know about these things."

As an ordinary tree flower, it was well protected by the Heavenly Dao.

Even now, she still doesn't know what her brother does for a living.

"Then let's wait until the matter of the protozoa and the aliens is over."

After trying to figure it out herself, Yuzhen didn't give Tendou a chance to speak and ran back into the store.

"..."

After thinking it over, Heaven decided it was time to let the tree flower make some new friends.

Once everything settles down, there's no problem with us all getting together for a meal or something.

"Heavenly Dao, come quick! What are you still doing out there?!"

Upon hearing Kagami's voice, Tendou casually replied and slowly walked into the shop.

Inside the store

The overhead lights have been replaced with a soft, warm yellow light that shines perfectly throughout the teppanyaki restaurant.

In addition to the mackerel, cold tofu, and miso soup prepared by Tiandao, Xiaoxu also added the most important teppanyaki and curry rice, along with various other dishes and snacks.

A dazzling array of delicious food was laid out on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

Especially the newcomer, Hayakawa Rena, stared intently at the large table of food in front of her, unconsciously swallowing her saliva.

As a doctor, she spends all her time at home outside of work hours, and all her food is fast food.

Upon suddenly encountering a delicious meal that looks and smells amazing, one naturally can't resist.

At Xiao Xu's invitation, everyone took their seats in turn.

"Let's eat!"

Chopsticks were stretched out and picked up all kinds of dishes, and everyone enjoyed their meal.

During a break from eating, Kageyama glanced up at everyone chatting at the table and felt a moment of disorientation.

He had never dared to dream of such a scene before, but now he was one of them.

Those dirty, sad memories gradually faded in his mind, freezing into a gray photograph.

I think I have the courage to move forward.

Kageyama felt exceptionally at ease; the feeling of being constantly abandoned gradually disappeared thanks to everyone's collective efforts.

"I'm a little envious of you."

Hayakawa Rena sat down next to him, put a mackerel in her mouth, and said to him.

"Are you envious of...me?"

When did he become someone others could envy?

Kageyama looked at Hayakawa Rena and saw a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

Not everyone is born liking solitude; at least, Hayakawa Rena is not one of them.

Long ago, she had a happy family, but a sudden accident left her to live alone.

"If you feel lonely and insecure, then join our big family."

Kageyama was completely unaware that he was extending an invitation of love to someone.

"Join us...?"

Hayakawa Rena looked at the child in front of her and felt a warmth welling up in her heart.

If she were 20 years old, she might have been tempted to join this group.

But she is 25 years old now, and is no longer the withdrawn and depressed girl she was on campus.

Therefore, the advice given to the child only evoked a sense of warmth within me.

"I have things I want to do, and I probably won't be able to fit in here."

"Besides, I can live perfectly well on my own, Kageyama-kun."

She tilted her head and winked at Kageyama.

When Kageyama saw Hayakawa Rena wink, he immediately lost his composure, and his chopsticks fell to the table with a clatter.

The others were drawn to the commotion and turned to look.

All they saw was a dazed Kageyama and a composed Hayakawa Rena eating her meal.

"Everyone, what's wrong?"

Hayakawa Rena pretended not to know anything, avoided Yuuma's gaze, and asked the others.

"Why……"

Yaguruma looked at Kageyama with a disappointed expression.

She's just a woman, yet she's made you so infatuated. You're hopeless!

Where is your pride, your confidence, your toughness?!

"Cough cough."

When Kageyama saw that everyone was looking at him, his face quickly flushed and turned red.

Not wanting to be stared at by the others any longer, he picked up the miso soup, gulped it down, and covered his face.

"Watching them date is definitely a different feeling."

Yuzhen held Xiaoxu's hand and looked at Kageyama with a smile, not lingering on Hayakawa Rena at all.

He guessed that Hayakawa Rena was probably connected to the Zerg, and not in a good way.

That's why she was so hostile and even afraid of him after recognizing his identity.

"I might be able to talk to her when I have some time."

A thousand thoughts swirled in her mind, all hidden in Yuzhen's lowered eyes.

"I'm stuffed."

Because of the commotion caused by Kageyama, Hayakawa Rena, who was sitting next to him, put down her chopsticks, said something to everyone, and got up to walk outside.

I ate here with the intention of using Kageyama as a shield, so the rest of the experience was just a pleasant surprise.

She didn't really need to stay here for too long; after all, they were family, and she was just an outsider.

"Kageyama!"

Watching Hayakawa Rena leave, and then looking at Kageyama who was still drinking miso soup, Yuma called out to him.

"Um?"

Kageyama put down his empty bowl and looked at Yuuma.

"Aren't you going to see them off?"

Yuma gestured towards the door with her chin, and only then did Kageyama realize that Hayakawa Rena, who was beside him, had already left.

"I'll go right now!"

He quickly put down the bowl in his hand, grabbed a sesame seed cake from the plate, and ran out the door in a few quick steps.

"What a fool, hopeless."

Kagami shook his head, feeling that he was much slower to understand than Yuuma was back then.

Could it be that Yu is some kind of dating master?

As Kagami thought of this, her gaze toward Yuuma became somewhat fiery.

If he can learn something from Yuma, will he be able to find a girlfriend?
