Morning continued in the weirdest way possible.
Takeru was still half-asleep on the futon before finally sitting up properly.
He stretched slowly.
Yawning.
Cracking his neck.
"…Alright," he muttered.
"…Now I'm awake."
The moment he said that—
SLAP.
Reina appeared out of nowhere and smacked him across the face.
Before he could even react—
SLAP.
Aika.
SLAP.
Hana.
SLAP.
Yorozu.
Everyone froze.
Yuji blinked rapidly.
"…WHAT JUST HAPPENED."
Megumi stared.
"…Why were they all waiting."
Nobara looked impressed.
"…That coordination was incredible."
Hakari was already laughing.
"…THE COMBO ATTACK."
Kirara pointed.
"…And somehow his shirt is back on."
Takeru held his cheek.
"…Ow."
A pause.
"…What was that for?"
The girls gave absolutely no explanation.
None.
They just turned around and walked out of the room.
Silence.
Geto blinked once.
"…I feel like he deserved that somehow."
Gojo nodded immediately.
"…Definitely."
Utahime sipped a drink calmly.
"…Agreed."
Takeru pointed toward the door.
"…I would like context."
No answer.
Then—
the door slid open again.
Kashimo walked in first.
Then Ryu.
Then Higaruma.
Then Uro.
Yuji immediately narrowed his eyes.
"…Why do they look suspicious."
Megumi noticed the items in their hands.
"…Coffee…"
A pause.
"…And fart spray."
Silence.
Hakari immediately started laughing again.
"…OH NO."
Before anyone could even ask—
Nanami's eyes widened.
He stood instantly.
And RAN out of the room.
Everyone stared.
Yuji pointed.
"…WHY IS HE RUNNING."
Higaruma calmly handed Nanami a coffee as he sprinted past.
"…Smart man."
Then—
Kashimo sprayed the fart spray.
Instantly—
the room collapsed into chaos.
"AAAAAHHH!"
Yuji stumbled over a blanket trying to escape.
Megumi almost tripped over Hakari.
Nobara grabbed a pillow over her face.
Kirara was already halfway out the door.
Gojo teleported outside immediately.
Geto looked personally betrayed.
Utahime finally broke composure.
"…WHO BROUGHT THAT."
Ryu was laughing uncontrollably.
Higaruma calmly drank coffee in the middle of the destruction.
And Takeru—
still waking up—
just sat there stunned.
"…Nanami knew."
Outside the room—
Nanami took another sip of coffee peacefully in the hallway.
"…Experience," he muttered.
Inside—
everyone was still fumbling over each other trying to escape the chemical nightmare.
