Sakura Dormitory.
Monday morning.
It had rained lightly all night, and the cherry blossoms in the courtyard looked exceptionally bright and fresh.
Kisaragi Rin sat at the dining table, full of energy, enjoying his breakfast.
Opposite him sat Shiina Mahiru, who had come to invite Kisaragi Rin to school together, but was then pulled in by Kanroji Mitsuri to sit at the dining table.
"Is it not to your taste?"
Seeing Shiina Mahiru eating in small bites, Kisaragi Rin put down the Weekly Magazine he had gotten for free and asked.
"No, on the contrary, it's very delicious."
Shiina Mahiru was wearing her school uniform, her flaxen hair meticulously styled into a cute hairdo. Having changed into indoor shoes, the tips of her feet, encased in black tights, were shyly exposed to the air.
The soft bread was exceptionally sweet, a taste of happiness in every bite.
However, this happiness made Shiina Mahiru feel a little uneasy. She turned her head to look at Kanroji Mitsuri, who was busy in the kitchen.
Kanroji Mitsuri had just opened the oven, allowing golden light and fragrant aromas to fill the air.
"Is this also the power of the transcendent?"
Shiina Mahiru was very certain that her culinary Skills were already at the peak of what a mortal could achieve.
Just a few days ago, she could still instruct Kanroji Mitsuri on making modern desserts, but today she was completely defeated by Kanroji Mitsuri's casually baked honey bread.
"Don't worry about that, Mahiru, your cooking is already very delicious."
Noticing Shiina Mahiru's thoughts, Kisaragi, uncharacteristically, comforted her.
Skill Book - Radiant Cuisine
Description: Pre-made dishes, allowing direct mastery of the ninth major cuisine, in addition to the other eight major cuisines.
Effect: Infuse love into ingredients, then use your hands to create radiant, happy dishes.
Conditions of Use: Wear sunglasses when opening the lid~
Last night, Kisaragi Rin spent 1500 Paradise Coins to buy the Skill Book for Radiant Cuisine from the Paradise. After using it himself, Kisaragi Rin extracted this Skill into an Ability Seed through the Workshop and fed it to Kanroji Mitsuri.
This was both a predetermined decision and preparation for the next game.
The Occupation book - captain requires sufficiently excellent crew members, one of whom is a chef. However, a chef of mortal Skill cannot be called "excellent."
Only transcendent culinary Ability can meet the requirements for the Occupation conditions.
As for why he bought Radiant Cuisine and not Shokugeki Cuisine?
Kanroji Mitsuri was already preparing for the opening of the dessert shop at Deer God Shrine, and Kisaragi Rin and she did not want to see customers suddenly have their clothes explode in the store.
Moreover, the potency of Shokugeki Cuisine might even attract interviews from comedians on TV shows, ultimately leading to outrageous store reviews like "delicious to the point of explosion" and "old men regaining their second spring."
"I know."
Shiina Mahiru shook her head and then made a cute gesture to cheer herself up. She wasn't so unreasonable as to compare herself, an ordinary person, to a player.
"Mm." Kisaragi Rin said nothing more.
After breakfast, Kisaragi Rin prepared to leave with Shiina Mahiru for Soubu High.
Hachiman Hikigaya had also finished his third game on Friday, apparently having obtained something, and wanted to contact Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino to deal with it.
And Yukinoshita Yukino also had many things she wanted to tell him.
Plus, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, who hadn't yet come to pick up the white letter... it could only be said that Kisaragi Rin still had many things to do.
However, these matters were no longer dangerous, marking his entry into peaceful daily life.
"By the way, Kisaragi, after you graduate from high school, do you plan to pursue further studies, or do something else?"
Shiina Mahiru suddenly asked.
"Perhaps the Chief Priest of Deer God Shrine, or perhaps the Director of Chiba Zoo."
Kisaragi Rin answered without thinking.
These two career paths, of course, depended on whether Kisaragi Rin could defeat Shikanoko Noko before graduating from high school.
If he won, he would be the head of the organization.
If he couldn't win... then he would first manage Deer God Shrine until the moment he could defeat Shikanoko Noko arrived.
"Chief Priest? Director?"
Shiina Mahiru didn't quite understand the connection, but she had already heard what she wanted to know.
That is, Kisaragi Rin had no intention of continuing his studies after graduating from high school.
However, it was quite common in Japan for people to return and manage family businesses after graduating from high school.
Since Shiina Mahiru knew about Kisaragi Rin's special nature, Medea didn't use magic to influence her perception.
She already knew that Kisaragi Rin had suddenly acquired a Deer God Shrine under his name, or rather, Shiina Mahiru knew a lot about many things in the apartment.
For example, Shizuka Marikawa and Busujima Saeko came from a world where zombies suddenly broke out, and for example, those Strange Tales that Kisaragi Rin found in various parts of Chiba... these strange things had successfully caused Shiina Mahiru's brain to crash many times.
"So you're really not going to Todai…"
Stealing glances at Kisaragi Rin next to her, Shiina Mahiru was thinking about what path she should take in the future.
She had no financial worries, only entanglement regarding this relationship.
If she continued her studies.
Whether it was Todai or a high school in Chiba, none were actually very far from Sakura Dormitory, but meeting Kisaragi Rin every day would definitely be impossible.
But if she didn't pursue further studies.
She could apply to Deer God Shrine, or help out at Kanroji Mitsuri's dessert shop, or even open a coffee shop right next to Kanroji Mitsuri's dessert shop, which would be perfectly fine.
Shiina Mahiru thought more and more, even forgetting that she needed to turn at the intersection.
Kisaragi Rin took Shiina Mahiru's hand, stopping her from potentially bumping into a utility pole.
And Shiina Mahiru, whose hand was enveloped by Kisaragi Rin's, quickly forgot everything in her mind, pretending to be calm and ignoring her flushed, hot cheeks.
With an intelligence of up to 60 points, even if Kisaragi Rin hadn't specifically activated his Singularity Eye, Shiina Mahiru's Peek could not escape Kisaragi's eyes.
Kisaragi Rin was… as calm as still water about this.
The reason this Angel knew so many things about Sakura Dormitory was partly because she herself wanted to investigate, and others didn't mind telling, and partly, of course, because of Kisaragi Rin's tacit approval.
Just as the nearby proprietresses were also curious about why Kanroji Mitsuri and Kisaragi Rin were together, Kanroji Mitsuri only shyly modified a modern love story to tell them, instead of excitedly saying that Kisaragi Rin had crushed Akaza in front of her.
Shiina Mahiru was special; given her relationship with Kisaragi Rin, there would be no other possibility than becoming a "confidante" in the future.
The people in the apartment saw this, which is why she had the possibility of joining the inner circle.
However, Shiina Mahiru had her own considerations. After being saved by Eclipse last time, she had never communicated about the transcendent with Kisaragi Rin or shown any intention of deepening their relationship, so Kisaragi Rin calmly maintained the status quo with her.
Releasing Shiina Mahiru's hand, Kisaragi had already seen the gate of Soubu High in the distance.
