Is this okay?

Just then, footsteps sounded outside.

Tread...  

Kaneki noticed this and his expression hardened. He quickly said to Sumire Muroto:

"Someone's coming! Ms. Sumire Muroto, I'll hide first, but please don't tell anyone I'm coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaneki used a shovel to dodge under the table.

Then he ran into Leng Mo head-on.

"..."

"..."

"..."

For a moment, the three fell into an eerie silence.

……

In Xiaoyuan's temporary communications.

Stranger: What a coincidence!

Ken Kaneki: Yeah, what a coincidence.

stranger:……

Kaneki Ken: ...

Sawa: ?

……

Just as Leng Mo, Jin Mu, and Muroto Sumire were feeling an unprecedented sense of embarrassment, the people outside walked in.

The person who came was He Zhen.

"Doctor! Save me! I feel like I'm going to die! You're a doctor and a scientist, you must have a way!" Kazuma cried out in anguish as soon as he saw Sumire Muroto.

"Huh... what's going on?" Sumire Muroto felt uneasy about Kazuma's sudden entrance. "You didn't fall for it too, did you?"

"You must keep this a secret. I'm only telling you this! The ramen is poisoned!!"

"What?!" Sumire Muroto exclaimed in shock, astonished to hear someone betray her once again.

"My senior, Madoka, has put Gastrea virus and a poison that makes you want to poop but can't! Gastrea virus is easy to deal with, we already have a perfect vaccine, but there's nothing we can do about the poison that makes you want to poop! Doctor, only you can save me now!!" Kazuma cried out in anguish.

"..."

Hearing this, Sumire Muroto suddenly felt weary and sighed, asking:

"You knew perfectly well why you still got infected?"

"It's all Tatsumi's fault! I clearly prepared two bowls of non-poisonous ramen, intending to have a hearty meal after our work, but Tatsumi mixed up the poisonous and non-poisonous ones, and we only realized it after we finished eating! If... if others find out, they'll laugh at me for who knows how long! I don't want this! Only you can save me now!"

"..."

For a moment, Sumire Muroto was at a loss for words. She knew it was poisonous and still got infected. Should I call her stupid or careless?

But at that moment, footsteps could be heard again outside.

This time it's two people!

"What?! Someone's here! Doctor, let's talk later, I'm hiding first. Don't tell anyone about me!"

Kazuma noticed someone coming in and excitedly said something, then before Sumire Muroto could react, he used a shovel to hide under the table.

Then I met up with Leng Mo and Jin Mu.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the room instantly.

then……

In Xiaoyuan's temporary communications.

Stranger: What a coincidence.

Kazuma Sato: Yes, what a coincidence.

Kaneki Ken: I'll strangle you, you bastard!

Homura Akemi: ?

The scene became extremely awkward. Kaneki, in a fit of rage, grabbed Kazuma by the neck, wishing he could strangle the scoundrel to death.

Kazuma stared wide-eyed, completely unprepared for such a coincidence.

Just then, someone walked in from outside. Kaneki stopped what he was doing, and the three of them quietly crouched under the table, wondering who it was.

The three of them held their breath and concealed their presence, carefully trying not to be noticed by those outside.

At that moment, Ouma Shu's voice rang out from inside the room.

"Hello, Ms. Sumire Muroto."

"Hello, Sumire Muroto," Mana Ouma's voice followed.

Sumire Muroto looked at the two people in front of her with a subtle and strange feeling in her heart.

You guys aren't here for a cure too, are you?

"We hope you will keep what happens next a secret and not tell anyone."

"Please speak..."

Sumire Muroto's eyes twitched, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.

Your next sentence will be, "Ramen is poisonous!"

"The ramen we had before contained gastroenteritis and a toxin that couldn't be excreted!" Shu Ouma explained solemnly.

"Nani!?"

You guessed right!

Sumire Muroto stared in shock at Shu Ouma and Mana Ouma, not surprised that there was poison, but that she had guessed correctly.

Calm down and ask what happened.

"so?"

“We hope you can develop an antidote…” Ouma Shu looked at Muroto Sumire awkwardly.

"Why?" At this moment, Sumire Muroto didn't care about anything else; she was just curious about the purpose of these two guys in front of her. Had they also fallen for it? How did they get infected?

"Ah, this..." Shu Ouma found it difficult to speak for a moment.

Mana Ouma, however, said nonchalantly, "That bastard Kaneki tricked us! He got tricked by Kazuma, gave up on himself, and threw a bucket of ramen soup in our faces! We were doomed even if we weren't!"

"..."

For a moment, Sumire Muroto's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but think of someone under the table.

At this moment, Leng Mo and Kazuma, who was being choked, looked at Kaneki subtly, making Kaneki feel a little embarrassed.

I never expected you to be like this, Kaneki.

At the same time, Mana Ouma earnestly said to Sumire Muroto, "So I want to ask the doctor to develop an antidote."

"Then why not contact your people?" Sumire Muroto asked subtly.

"We don't want to be laughed at by those 'Gates'!" Mana Ouma said firmly, "If Madoka-senpai finds out, then a certain 'Gate' will definitely know, and he'll laugh his head off. We definitely don't want to be laughed at by him!!"

"..."

Kazuma and Kaneki, who were under the table, glanced at Leng Mo with a knowing look, while Leng Mo remained completely bewildered.

So what if I laugh at myself? Why should I treat others differently?

I'm shivering and freezing!

When will the gate system finally stand up?

Just then, there was another commotion outside!

"I wonder what Amo and Muroto Sumire are up to."

It's Madoka's voice!

Shu Ouma and Mana Ouma's eyes widened instantly, completely unexpected that Madoka-senpai would come here!

The two immediately said to Sumire Muroto:

"Oh no! Someone's coming!"

"It's Senior Xiaoyuan!"

"Ms. Sumire Muroto, please keep this a secret."

"Ji and I will hide first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Ouma and Mana Ouma simultaneously used a shovel to hide under the table.

Then he ran into Kaneki, Kazuma, and Reimoto.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

This moment is just like that moment.

In Xiaoyuan's temporary communications.

Stranger: What a coincidence!

Ken Kaneki: Yeah, what a coincidence.

Kazuma Sato: What an incredible coincidence!

Shu Ouma: I'll pinch you, Kaneki!!

Ouma Mana: I'll strangle you, you bastard!!

Altair: ?

In an instant, Shu Ouma was choking Kaneki by the neck, Kaneki was choking Kazuma by the neck, and Mana Ouma was choking Leng Mo by the neck.

Leng Mo felt hurt by this, as he hadn't done anything... he just laughed it off.

Sumire Muroto sensed a commotion under the table, strangely limited to that area.

So how did you all get infected?

I had no idea that I had gotten infected with Leng Mo's virus. How are you guys so amazing??

Just then, Senior Xiaoyuan appeared outside.

"Yo-ho! Amo, are you there?"

"He's not here," Sumire Muroto replied earnestly when she saw Madoka-senpai.

"Is that really true?" Senior Xiaoyuan chuckled.

"Huh?" Sumire Muroto was a little confused. Was this a good thing?

"Since Amo isn't here, I'll tell you a secret. I poisoned the ramen!"

"Nani!?"

You didn't get infected too, did you?!

Sumire Muroto stared in shock at Madoka-senpai, those words instantly popping into her mind, before realizing something was amiss.
