The rest of the day passed peacefully.
Shockingly peacefully.
People swam.
Played games.
Ate leftovers.
Relaxed in the warm sunset glow.
Even the cursed spirits were calmer than usual.
Fred had somehow learned how to float on his back.
Nobody questioned it.
Eventually—
night started settling over Spirit Island.
Lights flickered on around the resort.
The ocean breeze cooled slightly.
And for the first time—
everyone finally looked toward the hotel.
Yuji stared upward.
"…We actually have rooms."
Megumi crossed his arms.
"…I still can't believe this place exists."
Hakari grinned.
"…Vacation arc continues."
Kirara sighed.
"…I'm blaming Takeru for everything."
Takeru pointed proudly at himself.
"Correct."
Then Gojo clapped loudly.
"Alright everyone!"
A grin.
"Room assignments!"
Immediate concern spread through the group.
Geto narrowed his eyes.
"…Why do you have that authority."
Gojo looked offended.
"…Because I'm trustworthy."
Everyone answered instantly:
"No."
Too late.
Gojo already had a clipboard.
Somehow.
The older Gojo and younger Gojo immediately started working together.
Which made things significantly worse.
Yuji pointed.
"…WAIT THERE'S TWO OF THEM DOING THIS?"
Megumi looked exhausted already.
"…We're doomed."
The assignments started.
Nanami and Higaruma got paired together almost immediately.
Both accepted it peacefully.
Hakari and Kirara were paired next.
Which honestly surprised nobody.
Yuji ended up with Choso and both Todos.
The room instantly became too loud.
Megumi somehow got put with Geto.
Which resulted in both silently accepting their fate.
Then—
Gojo looked toward Takeru.
Paused dramatically.
Smiled.
"Oh this one is special."
Every instinct in the building screamed danger.
Gojo cleared his throat.
"Takeru's roommates will be…"
Another grin.
"…Reina."
"…Aika."
"…Yorozu."
"…And Hana."
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Yuji slowly turned.
"…Oh no."
Megumi closed his eyes.
"…That's catastrophic."
Hakari immediately started laughing.
"…HE SET HIM UP."
Kirara pointed at Gojo.
"…You did that on purpose."
Gojo grinned proudly.
"…Absolutely."
The girls themselves froze instantly.
Reina looked away immediately.
Aika malfunctioned internally.
Yorozu tried to maintain confidence.
Hana blinked rapidly while Angel silently processed the situation.
Meanwhile—
Takeru just tilted his head.
"Oh."
A shrug.
"Cool."
Everyone stared at him.
Geto sighed deeply.
"…Hopeless."
Even Nanami muttered into his coffee:
"…Unbelievably oblivious."
Fred shook his head sadly from nearby.
"…Hopeless."
The curses nearby nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile—
the four girls were trying to survive emotionally.
Because unlike Takeru—
they all understood exactly how dangerous this room assignment was.
And somehow—
everyone else did too.
Gojo looked completely satisfied with himself.
"This," he announced proudly,
"…will be cinema."
