As soon as Rohan returned to Orion Academy after a busy lunch break,

He ran into Ichinose in the Class 1 hallway—perfect timing.

He casually asked if she had managed to get the merch she wanted,

And Ichinose beamed, leading him to her locker to proudly display her prize.

"They said other items will be available later,

But this acrylic stand was limited per location—only a few per store."

"Oh! So you actually got it? That’s insane!"

"Right? I really got lucky.

The odds were so low that I was actually planning to go again tomorrow during lunch."

A chef Ullul and a server Blueby.

The background and outfits made it clear—

It was themed around working at the collaboration café.

Some people might think—@@novelbin@@

“It’s just an acrylic block with a printed design—what’s the big deal?”

But Rohan understood.

He knew exactly why this was a big deal.

"Limited edition merch? Yeah, that's huge."

Having enjoyed Abyss City in the same way,

Rohan could fully empathize with Ichinose’s passionate dedication.

"Noah must’ve come in clutch."

"She did! But since we got it so early, I couldn’t feed her as much as I planned.

We even ended up going to a normal restaurant afterward."

Even with her eyes open,

Ichinose’s chirpy voice made her seem like a cheerful little canary.
