[Suguru said he's going to bond with people, asked me to order food first.] Chihori flipped through the menu in her hands, glancing over it quickly, [These dishes, they all seem pretty normal.]

System: [...Are you trying to get the rumored red umbrella, white pole?]

Chihori: [Eat and then lie down together?]

System: [And then the whole text ends, right!]

Chihori: [Okay, the foreshadowing is clear, the clues are obvious, the ending is an unexpected but logical O. Henry-style twist*, very smooth!]

(*In Chinese, "欧亨利式" (O. Henry-style) is used to refer to the kind of unexpected but fitting twist that O. Henry made famous in his writing.)

System: [Don't suddenly start reading comprehension!]

After the smooth, daily cross-talk ended, Chihori coughed lightly and continued to seriously browse the menu.

Following the usual order of meals, Chihori first ordered the necessary staple food, then ordered a few small dishes and desserts, leaving the rest for Suguru and Satoru to fill in when they came back.

She smiled at the waiter as she explained, and just as the waiter turned to leave, Chihori unexpectedly made eye contact with another pair of blue-grey heterochromatic eyes from behind.

The owner of the heterochromatic eyes was a young man (at least he looked young) with blue hair styled into three strands. He was standing there, with people passing by him, yet no one reacted to his presence, as though he were just air.

No one could see him.

System, greatly shocked, [...It's here, it's Special Grade Cursed Spirit—Mahito!!]

Chihori's eyes lit up, [It's here, my strawberry milk!!]

Both spoke simultaneously in the consciousness space, but their focuses were completely different.

The system froze for a second, falling into a strange silence.

In front of them, the blue-haired young man's face was marked with strange, intersecting stitches, yet it didn't spoil the overall balance and beauty. At the moment he made eye contact with Chihori, Mahito blinked and gave a delighted smile, as if he had just found a new toy.

"Hi," he smiled, his voice sweet, "Can you see me?"

The silver-haired girl in front of him was slender, with the ordinary cursed energy of an average person, nothing special. Yet, those focused green eyes staring right at him showed her uniqueness—she could see cursed spirits.

The freshly born Special Grade Cursed Spirit—Mahito was filled with curiosity about the world and humans. He (cursed spirits have no gender, but 'he' is used based on Mahito's appearance) had created various naive yet cruel experiments by manipulating human souls.

However, recently, he was starting to get bored of these.

At this moment, meeting a non-sorcerer who could see him, an ordinary-looking person, made Mahito feel the joy of [finding the next new toy].

System: At this point, Mahito hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the Saiyan, Amen.jpg.

Looking at the smiling face of Mahito, Chihori also lifted the corners of her lips, her dazzling smile silently mouthing: Hi, you're my U.Loveit*.

(*"优乐美" (Youlemei/U.Loveit) is a popular instant bubble milk tea brand in China. The iconic line from that ad was: "You are my U.Loveit."

This line became a viral catchphrase in China, and since then, "You are my Youlemei*" has been used playfully or flirtatiously in casual conversation—kind of like saying "You're my bubble tea" or "You're my favorite treat" in a cheesy, affectionate way.

So in memes, fanfics, or jokes, when someone says "You are my Youlemei/U.Loveit", it's a way of saying: "You're my fave," "You're mine," or "You're my sweet treat".)

Mahito: "?"

System: [?]

System: [...Please stop slipping in ads from every angle!!]

Mahito didn't understand what Chihori meant, but he figured it was probably some human way of saying hello—still in his learning phase, he silently committed the phrase to memory.

System: [No, absolutely not something you should be memorizing like it's legit!!]

Seeing that the girl in front of him wasn't afraid at all, Mahito's "I found a new toy" smile didn't waver one bit. He took a few steps forward, his mismatched blue and gray eyes gleaming with a strange light.

But just then, he suddenly stopped, as if he sensed something.

"...Looks like we'll have to meet again some other time, miss," Mahito said quietly, then with a swift, fluid motion, leapt straight out the second-floor window and vanished into the world outside!

Chihori's eyes widened slightly, but she couldn't exactly rush out after him either:
[Wait—my U.Loveit ran off—!!]

System: [Alright, how much did U.Loveit pay you? I'm from Xiangpiaopiao*, I'll double it!]

(*That's a parody of brand rivalry, like two overzealous drink mascots fighting for ad space in a comedy skit. Xiangpiaopiao (香飘飘; Xiāng Piāo Piāo) is a super popular Chinese instant milk tea brand—kind of like the Chinese equivalent of a grab-and-go bubble tea in a cup. It became well-known for its super catchy slogan: 300 million cups a year, enough to circle the earth.

Because of that wild claim, Xiangpiaopiao became a bit of a meme in China. People joke about how ridiculously ubiquitous it is, and it's often used in punchlines or as a comparison when mocking over-the-top marketing.)

Their back-and-forth was cut short by the sound of approaching footsteps. From outside the room came Suguru's voice, "Sister, we're back." As he spoke, the door swung open.

Satoru came up with him. The two moved fast, pushing the door open without hesitation—maybe they'd sensed the presence of a cursed spirit.

And maybe that's exactly why Mahito had backed off—after all, he'd only just been born. No way was he gonna pick a fight with the legendary Six Eyes this early on.

Satoru swept his gaze around the room, his brow slightly furrowed. He exchanged a look with Suguru.

Satoru Gojo: Only faint cursed residue here. Looks like a cautious spirit just passed through.

Suguru Geto: Carefully controlling and hiding its presence... Could it be that [Silver-Speed Cursed Spirit] from Tokyo we haven't caught yet?

System: [It's literally right in front of you guys (no mercy)]

"You're back just in time, I just ordered the main dishes," Chihori looked up with a smile and waved them over. "Go on, order the rest."

"Alright," Suguru returned her smile, then added, "Oh, I haven't properly introduced you two yet."

"This is my sister, Chihori Geto."

"Nice to meet you," Chihori gave a friendly wink.

"And this is my classmate, Satoru Gojo."
