After some reflection, Rei Fūya finally refrained from making dessert for various reasons.

First, Xiaoyou definitely couldn’t eat anymore, and second, he refused to make cream puffs (bread) for two of his classmates who were eating for free.

"Brother Ling, the cheese shrimp paste you made today is super delicious."

At the dinner table, Hasegawa Yu gave the blond man a thumbs-up and said, "This is the best shrimp paste I've ever had!"

The center is fluid and stringy, chewy and smooth, and it couldn't be more fragrant.

"If Xiaoyou likes it, eat more." Jiang Gu Ling accepted the compliment calmly, and did not forget to pick up a few pieces and put them in his bowl.

Kenji Hagiwara, who was standing by, looked at his colleagues who seemed to be in normal condition, then looked at the superstar who was struggling with the string cheese, eating it bit by bit, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

I always feel like something is wrong.

However, until the end of dinner, Kenji Hagiwara still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

It seems... I'll skip the whole process, but it's 100% certain that there's something wrong with Xiao Jianggu!

Quickly applying the formula and drawing conclusions, Hagiwara Kenji carried the orange-haired youth back to the bedroom. "Yu-chan, let me wash your hair. Didn't you just rinse it twice last night?"

Washing your hair with one hand is too much trouble. Hasegawa Yu, who had indeed been lazy last night, opened his eyes nervously. "Is it obvious that my hair is oily?"

His image!

"Don't worry, I deduced that~" Hagiwara Kenji's chest heaved, a smile hidden in his words. "You-chan really cares about your image."

"Keeping beautiful at all times is one of the essential qualities for an idol!" Hasegawa Yu said confidently.

Hearing this, Kenji Hagiwara couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Since regaining his memories, he hasn't had the chance to talk to Yu-chan about his own world. All he knows is that Yu-chan seems to be a very big celebrity, and her world has gods, magic, and even... a mermaid.

Thinking of the last point, Kenji Hagiwara unconsciously slowed down his pace for a moment.

He had never mentioned this when he told Jinpei-chan the relevant information. The same was true for Kouguchi, who probably didn't know that he had also guessed Yu-chan's mermaid identity.

one way or another……

"I'm really curious." Hagiwara Kenji murmured with empty eyes.

Even he, who is not usually very curious, was curious to the point of exploding!

Yuu-chan's appearance in mermaid form.

"Hmm?" Hasegawa Yu asked in confusion.

Putting her on a chair outside the bathroom, Hagiwara Kenji turned around to prepare for a hair wash. He suppressed his curiosity and found a new topic to distract himself. "Is Yu-chan's artist schedule very busy?"

"It's okay if I just stay in the country now."

Hasegawa Yuu lifted his injured leg and said, "I'm not pursuing film and television careers, and I don't appear in many variety shows anymore. When I don't have concerts planned, I follow a normal schedule."

Because he is famous enough, he can focus on what he likes. He no longer needs to appear on variety shows to promote himself. Now he basically only goes when invited by people with good connections in the circle.

Otherwise, most programs cannot afford his appearance fee.

It was only during the first few years after his debut that he was so busy that even his sleeping time almost disappeared.

Thinking back on what happened during that period, Hasegawa Yu still feels scared.

No fish told him that human celebrities have to do so many events and endorsements and a series of things. He thought that all he had to do was sing, but he ended up losing even the time to soak the fish tail!

While listening to Yu's speech, Hagiwara Kenji moved several chairs into the bathroom to form a simple "bed", and then carried the orange-haired young man onto it and laid him flat on the bed.

"Does Yuu-chan often go abroad?"

“When it’s busy, I fly three or four days a week.”

At this point, Hasegawa Yuu took advantage of his current supine position to look up at the man with semi-long hair above his head, "What about Kenji's police work? Does he encounter bombs every day?"

Hagiwara Kenji, who had only been working for a month after graduating from the police academy, paused imperceptibly, then replied without a trace of surprise, "Yes, we encounter over eighty bomb cases in a month."

Hasegawa Yu was shocked, "Is the world before the collapse so terrifying?"

"I don't know why, but there are so many cases in Tokyo, especially in Beika-cho."

Kenji Hagiwara turned on the shower and said to himself, "Looking at it now, it seems like it's because I'm at the 'center of the world.'"

These are the cases that only appear in detective and mystery series.

But it was really too much. Hagiwara Kenji was puzzled. Did the detectives in Beika Town have to deal with not only three bomb cases but also three murders every day?

Is there something wrong with the time setting here?

Hasegawa Yuu from the magical girl music show winked.

He is powerless to help with the "essential" problems of the world.

The topic came to an end, and the bathroom gradually became quiet, with only the sound of running water echoing between the empty walls.

Warm steam rose between the two of them, seeming to blur the boundaries between them.

Hagiwara Kenji moved a low stool and sat down, moving the shower head with one hand, and said in a low voice, "Yu-chan, is this water temperature okay?"

"Um."

Hasegawa Yu felt fingers inserted into his hair, and the fingertips lightly touched his scalp, the movements were gentle and slow.

The sound of running water faded away, and the aroma of sea salt and lemon shampoo filled the space again.

Staring at the light on the ceiling made Hasegawa Yu's eyes hurt, so he shifted his gaze to the semi-long-haired man who was foaming his hair.

From this angle, Hasegawa Yu could clearly see the other person's half-closed violet eyes, which were filled with concentration.

Perhaps because they had been staring for too long, the owner of those eyes lifted her eyelids slightly to meet his gaze, and said in a distressed tone that seemed real and fake: "You-chan is looking at me like that, does that mean Kenji-chan has a double chin?"

A certain atmosphere that had not yet taken shape was broken by this sentence.

"Kenji-nii should be confident in the hours of exercise he puts in every day," Hasegawa Yu retorted seriously, "Kenji-nii has a very clean jawline, no double chin at all."

"Pfft." Hagiwara Kenji chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment, Yu-chan. I'm very confident now."

Without waiting for Hasegawa Yu to say anything, he reached out and placed his hand on the other person's forehead to prevent the foamy water from splashing onto those beautiful eyes, "It's time to flush."

The water washed away the foam on the orange hair. Hagiwara Kenji took a dry towel that he had prepared in advance and wiped the hair under his hand until it was no longer dripping, then he carried the person outside.

Taking out a hair dryer from the cabinet, Hagiwara Kenji looked for an outlet while asking, "How do you feel, sir? Are you satisfied with Kenji-chan's service?"

"Give Kenji one hundred points." The hot wind blew, and Hasegawa Yu subconsciously closed his eyes.

Playing with the gradually fluffy orange hair between his fingers, Hagiwara Kenji said in a long tone, "Eh~ Is there nothing else?"

Hasegawa Yu hesitated, "Wait until the wound on my hand is healed and I wash it for Brother Kenji?"

"Need not."

While the hair dryer was drying, Hagiwara Kenji ruffled his hair a couple more times before turning it off and putting it away. "I received the reward."

Hasegawa Yu raised one hand to cover his head and looked at the other person suspiciously.

"Yu-chan's Soul Crown was touched?" Hagiwara Kenji looked back innocently.

Hasegawa Yu: “No.”

He also just realized that he felt nothing while washing his hair. It seems that it is okay for the location of the Soul Crown to be touched by others.

That's no reason to ruffle his hair!

Hasegawa Yu sat up straight, fixing his hair in front of a nearby mirror, and warned, "Don't touch your hair when it's done, Kenji-nii."

"Okay." Hagiwara Kenji rubbed it again and gave a comment this time, "You-chan's hair feels great."

Hasegawa Yu, who had combed his hair halfway, said: "!"

Kenji-chan, who had one point deducted, cleaned up the bathroom before leaving with a look of regret on his face.

In the bedroom, Hasegawa Yu sat on the bed and was rarely in a daze.

[What is Xiaoyou thinking about?] Noah's Ark asked with concern.

"I'm thinking about the contract mission." Hasegawa Yu pursed his lips, "Apart from my own resurrection and restarting this world, will I make any other wishes?"

For example...world fusion or something.

Although he is not clear about the memories of the remaining two rounds, from the memories he has received, he at least feels reluctant to leave Mr. Akai and the others.

It's good to have photos as memories. He will be able to recover after being sad for a while when he returns to his original world. Hasegawa Yu understands this.

But wouldn’t it be better if we could get to know each other’s news?

"The gods have listened to countless people's wishes and won't care if I wish for more."

Hasegawa Yuu had a point, "Goddess Aquaan Regina is so kind to us!"

In short, he is a fish with a background!

[Perhaps.] Before the matter is fully confirmed, Noah's Ark dares not to agree too much with the mermaid. [The answer should be revealed in the memories of the fifth or sixth episode.]

"Yeah." Hasegawa Yuu nodded, took out his phone, and immediately got busy with another thing. "Moruofushi-senpai is much more aloof online than in real life."

He sent nearly forty messages, but his senior only replied: I'm busy.

But I didn't reject him, nor did I tell him not to send messages anymore.

This proves that Senior Zhufu still reads the messages he sends, but probably replies based on his mood?

Thinking of this, Hasegawa Yuu became hesitant and began typing with one finger, which was not his usual practice.

In an apartment somewhere in Beika-cho, when Morofushi Keimitsu finished washing the dishes and returned to the living room, he saw the screen of his mobile phone on the table lighting up frequently.

“…”

Zhu Fujingguang suspected that You Xunran was plotting against him because of the yellow soybean smile that Zero sent him yesterday, and he had evidence.

As expected, all the unread messages in the phone were from Hasegawa Yu.

Zhu Fujing's eyelids were half closed. He clicked on the dialog box to remove the red dot, then put the phone aside and ignored it.

After a few minutes, the annoying vibration sound started again.

Despite this, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who still did not set it to do not disturb, frowned slightly and glanced at the last message in the dialog box.

[Y: What's for dinner today, Senior? Fathead fish is curious.jpg]

It has two heads and a body with blocks of color similar to Disney's Ariel, but the lines are very abstract. One can vaguely make out that it is probably a mermaid, blinking its eyes as big as light bulbs as it jumps on the chat interface.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyebrows jumped. Where did he find this emoticon pack? It's so ugly.

He moved his fingers: [If Xiaoyou is bored, you can go find someone else to chat with.]

Aren’t the three people who live with Hasegawa Yu enough for him to talk to?

【Y: Not boring.】

[Y: Didn't senior tell me to be more focused last time? So I'm going to chat with senior exclusively and not with anyone else. [Image: Fathead fish fist.jpg]

[Y: Don't worry, senior, I'm definitely super dedicated this time! ]

Zhu Fu Jingguang: ...

Is this what he means by "loyalty"?
