When Hakuto woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, the protest from his stomach told Hakuto that he needed to eat now. Moreover, the pendant hanging around his neck and the ring on his finger also reminded him that it was ti to make offerings.
The door was pushed open, and then a girl walked in from outside.
"Yukinoshita-san?"
Hakuto looked at his room, then at Yukino.
Then, suddenly, Hakuto rembered that after entering the door yesterday, he had imdiately passed out.
"You're awake. Then, eat."
Yukino placed a breakfast in front of Hakuto.
"Um..."
"Last night, I stayed over at Mifuyu-san's place. Although this breakfast can't compare to what you make, I hope it won't disappoint you."
Hakuto didn't stand on ceremony and took it. Yukino then explained to Hakuto what had happened yesterday.
Yesterday, they had heard the noise and rushed over. They found Hakuto unconscious. They had originally wanted to take him to the hospital, but Natsuki said that Hakuto had just exhausted too much energy, so he was unconscious. A good sleep would fix it.
So, Yukino stayed to care for Hakuto. The others went ho. After all, the incident yesterday was considered to have been caused by Yukino.
Although the others also wanted to stay to care for Hakuto, Natsuki ultimately decided that Yukino would stay, and the others would go ho.
Seeing the self-reproach on Yukino's face, Hakuto comforted her.
"Don't overthink it. What happened yesterday had nothing to do with you. I overestimated myself."
He had gotten carried away. That was Hakuto's feeling. He had clearly thought about lying low before, but in the end, he couldn't resist showing off in front of Yukino and the others, or in short… trying to act cool.
And because of that, this whole thing had happened.
He needed to learn from this incident and absolutely not make the sa mistake again.
He finished the breakfast Yukino had prepared in a few gulps. Hakuto stood up and stretched his muscles. Then he asked Yukino, "So, shall we go to school together?"
"I've already asked for leave for you. You don't need to go to school today."
"Forget it. I'm fine now. And if I don't go to school, I won't have anything to do."
Seeing her expression, which seed to want to say sothing but hesitated, Hakuto said to Yukino, "Don't feel self-reproachful. Besides, I've already received my reward for yesterday."
Reward?
Thinking of sothing, a blush appeared on Yukino's face.
"Okay. Then let's go to school together."
Yukino turned her head away. She couldn't help but think of when she had kissed Hakuto yesterday. For so reason, her mind had gone blank, and she had kissed him directly on the lips.
After confirming that Hakuto was fine, Yukino went to school with him. However, they separated shortly after. Yukino was a student in Class B, and Hakuto was in Class F.
Hakuto walked into the classroom. When he reached his seat, he saw Mizuki's sowhat concerned gaze.
"Hiji, what's wrong?"
Hakuto asked Mizuki, confused.
"Ah, well, Hakuto, you look a bit unwell today. Are you okay?"
"I look unwell? I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Hiji."
'Did I look a bit unwell?'
"Indeed. You look kind of listless today, Hakuto. Could it be..."
Looking at Hakuto, Yuji gave a smile that all n would understand.
"Yuji, could it be what?"
Akihisa asked Yuji.
Well, not all n understand.
"Nothing. Akihisa, ignore this guy."
[Listless? Could it be that I really overdid it yesterday? Should I soak so goji berries in my thermos to replenish myself? It should be better to replenish now than to wait until middle age when I have no choice, right?]
Early in the morning, Hakuto suddenly updated his diary, catching the attention of a group of people. After reading the content, everyone fell silent.
[But seriously, what's going on? Just cooking a dish made feel like I had rewarded myself dozens of tis?]
[Damn it. Other Transmigrators are all kinds of aweso and overpowered. And ? I collapsed from just cooking a dish. Is there any justice? Is there any law?]
Erina gritted her teeth, grinding them so hard she nearly broke them.
Last night, she had learned from her grandfather that the ability to infuse emotions into cooking was sothing only Super Chefs possessed. And Hakuto...
'Damn it. A guy who had never studied cooking had made a dish that only a Super Chef could make.'
Thinking of this, Erina couldn't help but want to bite sothing. If Hakuto were in front of her, she would probably bite him without hesitation.
Natsuki, however, chuckled lightly.
'Sure enough, ignorance is bliss. But I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for you. With those two existences watching over you, you're probably...'
Natsuki thought of the two Spirits on Hakuto.
This was even more exaggerated than a novel's protagonist. At least novels have so logic. While this defies all logic.
Spirits above gods. Having one is so lucky that not even describing it as your ancestors' graves emitting green smoke for eighteen generations would capture a fraction of it. (T/N: Ancestors' graves emitting green smoke is considered a highly auspicious and lucky sign. It indicates that the deceased ancestors are at peace, blessing the family, and that good fortune, prosperity, or success is coming to the descendants.)
And Hakuto had two.
If it weren't for the fact that the ring had been about to be driven away by the Spirit attached to Yotsuya yesterday, the ring probably wouldn't have been exposed. Natsuki would never have guessed that the ring was on the sa level as the Spirit on Yotsuya.
'It's possible. Hakuto might really be the person we're looking for.'
Natsuki felt hesitation in her heart.
She didn't know if she should make Hakuto a candidate.
'I'll observe a bit more. Maybe Hakuto is just lucky. I'll keep observing.'
…
anwhile, in Class F.
"Huh? Declare war on Class F? Why?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Hakuto was completely confused. The girl in front of him was the war declaration ambassador from Class A, Kinoshita Yuuko.
"To cooperate with the school's work and to help more students master Summoned Beasts, Class A has proposed a Summoned Beast War against Class F. The losing side must agree to one condition from the winning side."
