Are you, as meal replacement users, ready for the consequences?

"I'm not going anymore, thank you for your concern, I'm much better."

Deng chatted briefly with the classmates who cared about her, then took out her lunchbox from her desk.

I rushed out the door today, but still managed to get to school. I hope the sauce from my lunch wasn't spilled.

"This is?"

At my feet, a small, unmarked lake-green bottle stood quietly, seemingly forgotten by its owner.

After putting down the lunchbox, Deng picked up the medicine bottle.

The medicine bottle wasn't very big, and with the help of the classroom lights, Gao Songdeng could clearly see that there were still more than half a bottle of pills left inside.

"Is this Xiaoning's?"

The lamp placed the medicine bottle back on Toyokawa Ningko's table, and she continued eating her lunch, her mind filled with various thoughts.

Didn't Ningzi say that she was cured?

Deng picked up a piece of fried tempura with chopsticks and carefully put it into his mouth.

Now that you're cured, why do you still need to take medicine?

Moreover, I don't think I've ever seen this kind of medicine before.

Although Gao Songdeng's knowledge of medicines is not comprehensive, she has been looking through the medical catalog every night before falling asleep ever since she heard that Ningzi had been sick and was not in good health.

She had at least taken note of all the types of drugs available on the market.

Deng, having taken a closer look, stopped overthinking and continued enjoying her lunch.

Ah, the sushi broke into a few pieces from the long journey, and Lucy…

……

The midday sun is lovely, and it's wonderful that everyone at Yuuchi is so happy and joyful.

Ningzi greeted each of the evil female copper maids who passed by.

Wow, you bunch of adorable little devils!

It's so great to run into you shameless, clueless, sticky idiots every day.

Recalling all the places she had passed through that morning, Ningzi remembered that during the first class, the medicine was still obediently in her pocket.

In truth, she wasn't even sure if the bottle of purple pills had been left in the classroom.

It might have slipped out of my pocket while I was playing with the lamp on the grass that morning.

Ningzi chose to go back to the classroom first simply because she really wanted to see what her little lamp was doing.

As for that bottle of medicine, we can just look for it while we're at it; it shouldn't be a problem if we don't take it anyway.

After all, I'm a normal human being now, and normal human beings don't take medication to treat mental illness.

Ningzi stopped in her tracks.

It should be all better now, right?

I can't even hear the teddy bear's voice anymore...

But why would we see a piano sea bell?

Oh no, it looks like I need to take more medicine; I'm not fully recovered yet.

Ningzi carefully approached the back door of the classroom, tiptoeing and moving slowly along the wall.

"Wow! You scared me! Xiaodeng, I've finished eating. What did you have for lunch today?"

Suddenly, she jumped out from behind the lamp, but perhaps she had already gotten used to Ningzi's sudden loud and boisterous manner.

The lamp was only slightly startled, and then continued to eat its lunch calmly.

Hmm... Ningzi, who likes to scare people, is also cute.

"Xiao Ning... I have fried tempura in my bento box today, would you like to try some?"

Deng pushed the lunchbox towards Ningzi and handed her chopsticks.

"Oh, really? Then I'll just dig in without being polite."

Ningzi snatched the chopsticks from Deng's hand and, as if savoring a delicious meal, inserted them into her mouth, carefully experiencing the various lingering flavors on the chopsticks with the tip of her tongue.

It has the flavor of sauce, the flavor of seaweed, but most importantly, it is also filled with the scent of Takamatsu lamps.

"It's delicious! I'm full. Thank you for the meal."

After Ningzi finished tasting the chopsticks, she sincerely put her hands together and thanked the lamp.

“Xiao Ning…”

"I'm going to sit down for a bit, you can continue eating."

Deng's cheeks flushed again. After teasing Deng as usual, Ningzi returned to her seat and found that the lost dark green medicine bottle was now sitting obediently on the table.

"What? So it really was placed here."

As Ningzi played with the medicine on which everyone placed their hopes, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Why does it feel like the lamp is a more effective medicine than this bottle of medicine?

The lamp, the deliciousness.

The lights are also comforting.

But... if possible, I really don't want Deng's initial affection for me to come from Xiangzi.

The medicine bottle was put into the desk, and the pills made a rustling sound as they clattered together.

The thought of this makes me a little irritable.

After hesitating for a moment, Ningzi decided to take out a pill and swallow it with the water.

Since things have come to this, let's take the medicine first.

Ch49. Are there really people who can't tell the difference?

Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy, first year class B.

Yawata Kairin glanced at her math teacher, who was giving a passionate lecture, and then idly opened her phone.

Just another ordinary day.

Umiri (Yawata Uminori): I'll be waiting for you at the school gate in a bit.

Neko (Toyokawa Ningko): Huh? You can't do that, my sister is here.

Umiri: You have an older sister too.

Neko: You're nothing but a nobody, not worth mentioning. You... don't call me from the school gate, and remember to watch my eyes before you act. Then follow me onto the tram. Do you need any more supporting roles today?

Umiri: Okay, the requirement is that the keyboardist of a band became the stepfather of his girlfriend, who is also the bassist of the same band. The two girls were arrested yesterday for fighting, and the band is short-handed and needs a backup performer.

Neko: Are all you rock musicians this carefree? You're still thinking about rehearsing in this situation?

Neko: 6

The other end stopped replying, and the chat history with Ningzi ended with a short and blunt "6", which Hailing didn't pay attention to.

Yawata Kairin was in a great mood today. After parting ways with Toyokawa Neko yesterday, she went to a specialty store that sells cute toys and wandered around for a long time.

A cute and cuddly girl like Toyokawa Ningko will definitely love the teddy bear she bought.

Inside the desk, a palm-sized teddy bear lay listlessly in a blue gift box, enjoying its remaining days as a silly doll.

After waiting a while longer and seeing that there were still no new messages, Hailing simply turned off her phone and continued listening to the lecture.

Hmm... Why is this lesson about math? I don't understand it at all.

Since things have come to this, there's no harm in leaving it there a little longer.

Hailing propped her head up and tried to listen for a while longer, but she found that she really couldn't understand it.

In fact, many students in the class were not paying attention in class. Some of them gave up because the universities they wanted to apply to did not require math scores, and they thought it was useless to listen.

Some people are prepared to spend money to study abroad, which doesn't require high math skills.

The remaining lesbians pursued their studies for various reasons.

For example, the black panda lady sitting in front of Hailing.

Although she could no longer keep up with the math teacher's thinking, Yawata Kairin was still taking notes very seriously.

Firstly, it would make it easier for me to study at home and see if I could succeed; secondly…

After class, Hachiman Kairin left her seat and walked to Shiina Tatsuki's side.

Shiina Tatsuki's day wasn't going well. This morning, Hachiman Kairin noticed her heavy dark circles and pale complexion.

It's like this guy accidentally killed a poor, innocent girl a few days ago, and then spent the whole weekend feeling regret and remorse.

"uh-huh?"

Just standing next to Riki, Hachiman Kairin experienced what it felt like... a normal human being had stumbled into a black hole.

"Is everything okay?"

Using Lixi's head as a desktop, Hailing placed her handwriting on it.

"fine."

Shiina Tatsuki's voice was very low and nasal, and his frustration was clearly exposed.

"Are you really okay?"

Thinking that the other party probably wouldn't need her notebook anymore, Hailing took the burden off Lixi's head.

If this child doesn't study hard, he'll only be able to get into university.

"Don't bother me, I'm in a really bad mood right now... Sorry, I was too harsh with you just now."

Lixi scrambled to her feet from the table, her tone initially irritated. After a brief, shocked silence, a flicker of sadness appeared in her eyes.

It is precisely because of one's lack of control over emotions that one harms others, and after causing harm, one feels guilty and internally drained, making one's ability to control emotions even worse...

Lixi lay down again.

I'm so bad, really.

"Looks like you haven't rested well. Get some rest early tonight. I'm leaving now."

Hai Ling didn't care about Li Xi's tone; she knew that everyone has a few unfortunate days.

What else can we do but be more tolerant?

"Hey, are you taking leave again to go and do a guest appearance?"

“Hmm,” Hachiman Kairin shrugged as she passed Misaki Hatsuka’s seat. “But this time is different, Riki. I’ve finally found a partner.”

"A partner...?"

Upon hearing this, Shiina Tatsuki felt even more troubled and depressed.

Hailing has found a partner, but where is my partner?

Oh, so you've all finished visiting.

Watching Hachiman Kairin depart, Shiina Tatsuki sighed and put on his headphones.

It's fine to just stay slumped over the table like this.

Only when the trunk rots away do flowers sprout from its remains.

I'm so damn pissed off.

……

Umiri: Is it out yet?

Neko: No, you're an idiot. I'm in class, okay?

Umiri: Why are you replying to messages during class?

Neko: Mind your own business! You nobodies! Mind your own business.

Urgent, urgent.

"This guy."
