The hallway had mostly recovered from the fart spray catastrophe.
Mostly.
Some people still looked traumatized.
Others looked way too proud of themselves.
Takeru leaned against the wall with his coffee.
"So…"
A sip.
"What now?"
While everyone was distracted thinking—
Takeru sneakily reached over and grabbed a second cup.
Smooth.
Quiet.
Almost impressive.
Nanami noticed immediately.
Didn't say anything.
Just took another sip of his own coffee.
Higaruma also saw it.
He looked at Takeru.
Then at the second cup.
Then simply looked away.
Neither of them snitched.
Yuji stretched.
"…Food."
Nobara immediately agreed.
"…Absolutely food."
Megumi sighed.
"…That's your answer to everything."
Yuji pointed.
"…Because food is important."
Hakari grinned.
"…Arcade."
Kirara looked exhausted already.
"…Why are you always ready for gambling."
Hakari shrugged.
"…Talent."
Gojo raised a hand dramatically.
"…Movie marathon."
Geto immediately responded.
"…That sounds terrible with this group."
"RUDE."
Uro crossed her arms.
"…Shopping."
Ryu nodded.
"…I could go for food and shopping."
Kashimo cracked his neck slightly.
"…Fight something."
Everyone looked at him.
Kirara pointed.
"…See this is why nobody trusts you with spray bottles."
Takeru quietly sipped from the second coffee cup.
Still unnoticed by most of the group.
Nanami noticed again.
Still stayed silent.
Higaruma looked mildly amused.
Haibara suddenly raised both hands excitedly.
"…Beach day!"
Silence.
Yuji blinked.
"…We literally have a cursed spirit island now."
Takeru nodded thoughtfully.
"…True."
Megumi rubbed his temples.
"…I hate that sentence is real."
Gojo suddenly grinned.
"…Wait."
A pause.
"…What if we combine all the ideas."
Immediate concern spread through the hallway.
Geto narrowed his eyes.
"…That sounds dangerous."
Gojo pointed dramatically.
"Beach."
"Food."
"Games."
"Shopping."
"Movies."
A grin.
"And chaos."
Kirara immediately shook her head.
"…You lost me at the last one."
Hakari looked inspired.
"…I'm listening."
Nobara pointed.
"…As long as there's good food."
Yuji nodded aggressively.
"…And snacks."
Takeru casually kept drinking his second coffee.
Then Nanami finally spoke.
"…That is your second cup."
Silence.
Everyone turned slowly.
Takeru froze mid-sip.
Yuji pointed immediately.
"…HE LIED."
Megumi stared.
"…You said one cup."
Nobara looked betrayed.
"…You became a double-cupper overnight."
Hakari burst out laughing.
"…THE ADDICTION ARC."
Kirara sighed deeply.
"…It took less than ten minutes."
Takeru raised a finger.
"In my defense—"
A sip.
"…this one is also good."
Nanami closed his eyes briefly.
"…I should've said something sooner."
Higaruma shrugged slightly.
"…I was curious where this would go."
And the hallway once again descended into loud arguing, laughing, and complete nonsense.
A perfectly normal morning for them now.
