- She cannot eat anymore. Even a blackhole can be filled up
- The person responsible could also be the solution. Take Ichihime to Miki Nikaidou.
I grabbed Ichihime and prepared to head for the hospital.
[Ichihime]Master, Ichihime hasn't made tea for you yet, nyaa—
[player]That's okay. In fact, I'm not that into tea.
She would soon forget whatever I said anyway. I only wanted her to stop giving me tea. I felt like I could hear the tidal waves in my stomach as I walked.
Central Hospital
When we arrived at the hospital, there was already a long queue all the way from the main hall to the hospital entrance. Weirdly, everyone seemed to be in good spirits, making me wonder if I had come to the wrong place.
[player]Excuse me, do you know what happened today? Why are there so many people at the hospital?
I patted the person in front of me, trying to understand the situation.
Stranger A
[Stranger A]Are you also here to see a doctor? I don't really know what happened either.
[player]Alright, thanks.
[Stranger A]Are you also here to see a doctor? I don't really know what happened either.
...//nThis sounds so familiar. Did they also eat Miki Nikaidou's food?
[Ichihime]For some reason, Master suddenly brought Ichihime to the hospital! Do you know why?
As I was thinking, Ichihime started to chat with the person standing next to us.
[Stranger A]Are you also here to see a doctor? I don't really know what happened either.
[Ichihime]For some reason, Master suddenly brought Ichihime to the hospital! Do you know why?
[Stranger A]Are you also here to see a doctor? I don't really know what happened either.
[Ichihime]For some reason, Master suddenly brought Ichihime to the hospital! Do you know why?
...//nNow we have two repeaters.//nJust when I was worried about how to separate them, someone patted me on the shoulder.
[Stranger B]Just give it up. It's not Sekai's fault.
[player]What do you mean?
[Stranger B]Her name is Sekai. She had become like this ever since a man in a black cloak gave her a strange candy. Fortunately I didn't eat it.
[player]What kind of candy?
He took something from his pocket and put it in my hand. It was a candy in the shape of a rabbit's head with a familiar grin.
I immediately recalled the final scene of the cat monster incident.
[player]I think I know who is behind all this mess. Can I borrow this candy?
[Stranger B]I wanted to take it to the doctor, but looking at the length of the queue, we probably won't be able to see one until the end of the day. I think we can trust you for this one. The future of Sekai depends on you!
Kaguyahime's Home
I took the candy and Ichihime to Kaguyahime's home. She was talking with a young man in a black cloak, while the man was holding some similar rabbit-head candies in his hand.
Here came the evidence.//nI rushed over and grabbed the young man, who was trying to run away the minute he saw us.
[player]Why did you do this?
[Kaguyahime]Oh c'mon! This is clearly a gift from the goddess. How dare you question my decision?
[player]How do you call this intermittent amnesia a gift?
[Kaguyahime]Uhehe, getting rid of the bad memories is a blessing, isn't it? Take that poor kitty for example. I helped her to forget the horrible food she ate yesterday, you know?
[player]...Whatever, give me the elixir.
[Kaguyahime]There is no elixir, but the duration of this pois-I mean, gift, is not that long anyway. It will last one day at max.
[player]You said poison, didn't you?! Hey!
[Ichihime]Woah~~~~~~~~~ Master, why are you swinging back and forth? Oops? What's going on? Why am I seeing more Masters?!
[player]What are you talking about!? You are the one swinging around!
[Kaguyahime]See, they will heal themselves. A goddess never lies! Well, now that the dwarf is alright, I shall excuse myself. Bye-bye!
I didn't have time to run after Kaguyahime because I had to catch Ichihime, who was still swinging.
[Ichihime]Master, Ichihime feels so sick. My stomach is burning... Nyaa-ouch, Miki's cooking is so terrible...
Did that candy manage to delay the effect of yesterday's dinner until now?//nSo the bad memories weren't erased. They are just delayed!
Thank goodness Ichihime is fine. I will make that rabbit pay for this later.//nBut Ichihime really should stop eating food offered by strangers.
