After hanging up, Rita looked at Shiina Mashiro, who was staring at her, and patted her little head. Though the call had ended, Rita no longer had the same thoughts as before!
Just as Rita was about to return to her room and continue tinkering with her game script, she suddenly sensed something!
Akizuki Marina was in trouble! So... Akizuki Kōzō had made his move?
Startled, Rita hurriedly used the curse mark to observe what was happening around Akizuki Marina from several kilometers away.
"So you finally made your move... Akizuki Kōzō!"
She had thought he would keep enduring it. It seemed he could no longer hold back.
But the situation was urgent now. Rita had to rush over immediately, or else... her reward would slip away!
"Mashiro..."
With that in mind, Rita stood up and looked at the adorable Shiina Mashiro on the sofa.
"?"
Shiina Mashiro said nothing, only staring at Rita in confusion.
"I need to go out for a while. Don't wait up for me tonight! As for dinner... just have some snacks. Your eating habits have been abnormal for a long time anyway!"
Shiina Mashiro sometimes treated baumkuchen as a staple food. She could skip meals... but she could not go without baumkuchen. If Rita's cooking had not been fairly decent, Shiina Mashiro might have eaten nothing but baumkuchen!
"You're going out? You won't be back tonight?"
Hearing that, Shiina Mashiro stood up as well, suddenly becoming serious.
"I'll be back. It might just be a little late."
Rita froze for a moment... Shiina Mashiro's reaction was slightly unusual, but Rita still answered honestly.
"Oh~ Then come back early."
Hearing Rita say that, Shiina Mashiro relaxed a little and sat back down on the sofa.
She did not ask Rita what she was going out
