- This is a medical issue and must be addressed immediately. Take Ichihime to a doctor.
- There are three primary concerns in life: what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Nothing could be done before we learn more about Ichihime's conditions. I must find out what happened to Ichihime at Miki Nikaidou's place.
Wanjirou and I took Ichihime to Miki Nikaidou. He had been complaining all the way.
[Wanjirou]Look at the time, I'm sure that woman has already started preparing lunch. Aren't we just going to kill ourselves?
[player]Ichihime seems to be getting worse. We can't just sit and wait anymore.
[Wanjirou]But why do I have to go with you?
[player]If four of us can start a Mahjong game, maybe Nikaidou will forget to cook.
[Wanjirou]I think you are just trying to take revenge on me for making you drink the tea.
[player]How can you think so mean of me? But yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking.
[Wanjirou]...
Tenhoukaku
Miki Nikaidou's Tenhoukaku is not far away from Mahjong Soul Shrine. Seeing her in an apron, I tried to not run away and pushed Ichihime forward.
[Ichihime]Miki, good day, nyaa!
[player]Nikaidou, please help Ichihime.
Miki Nikaidou
[Miki Nikaidou]Oopsie, what happened? Ichihime looks alright, doesn't she?
[player]Ever since she came back from your place, she kept repeating the same thing.
[Ichihime]Miki, good day, nyaa!
Meanwhile, Ichihime demonstrated her symptoms.
[Miki Nikaidou]Oh? This is quite interesting.
Miki Nikaidou walked around Ichihime as if she had discovered something fun.
[Ichihime]Miki, good day, nyaa!
[Miki Nikaidou]Good day, Ichihime!
[Wanjirou]What exactly did you give her yesterday? She's been like that for all night.
[Miki Nikaidou]Oh, yesterday... Hehe, speaking of that, you are quite lucky. I was just about to improve yesterday's cooking techniques and make the same dishes. Why don't you eat them yourselves?
[player]I don't think... we need to eat them in person.
[Miki Nikaidou]Hmm? But how can you know where the problem is without eating?
[player]You've got a point, but...
[Wanjirou]What if all of us end up like her?
[Miki Nikaidou]Hmm... That's a good point. Well, guess I won't eat then. If something really happens, at least I can still remember the recipe and explain the situation to the doctor.
...How confident must she be to accept the connection between Ichihime's problem and her cooking without even questioning? Wanjirou and I exchanged looks. Guess we had no choice.
Miki Nikaidou had always been very enthusiastic about cooking. But enthusiasm alone wouldn't be enough for a lot of things.
As we ate, I saw Wanjirou's face turned darker. But I certainly wouldn't look any better.//nWhen I swallowed the last mouthful of food, I suddenly heard Ichihime's screaming.
[Ichihime]Nyaa——————
I looked up. She seemed terrified.
[Ichihime]Since when did the day start?! Ichihime had been eating from dinner all the way to lunch at Miki's place!!!
[player]Ichihime, do you still remember what happened after last night's dinner?
[Ichihime]Nyaa... Ichihime felt terrible. Someone gave Ichihime a candy and said I would feel better after eating it... When Ichihime finally realized what happened, it's already this time...
[player]Nikaidou, have you ever given Ichihime any candies?
[Miki Nikaidou]Nope. She finished the meal and really wanted to go back, so I let her go.
It must be someone else then. But who could it be?//nI really couldn't find any clue and had to give up. I must teach Ichihime to not eat food offered by strangers.
The incident was finally resolved, and my vision went dark as I lost consciousness.//nMiki Nikaidou's dishes were surely toxic... Hope Mahjong Soul Shrine and Ichihime would remember my sacrifice.
