"What's the rush? I said, I'm not done talking." Toji clicked his tongue softly, then muttered to himself, "Whatever, if we split it up like this, that counts as two separate promos, I guess."

For safety and convenience, he'd stored the strawberry milk Chihori gave him inside his cursed spirit, Ugyou, who usually served as a living weapons vault.

Now that they were more familiar (plus thanks to the whole "son deal"), Toji had openly told Chihori about Ugly Treasure's* existence.

(*Gege Akutami never gave Toji's cursed spirit an official name, "Ugly Treasure (丑宝)" became a widely recognized nickname in Chinese fans for this weird but reliable cursed storage worm.)

Before he left, Chihori had even specifically said:

"To keep up a clean and hygienic brand image, make sure when you take the strawberry milk out of Ugly Treasure, you do it away from people—and wipe off any residue really thoroughly, okay!"

Toji's face was basically: what a pain.jpg

Chihori: "Did you hear me, Toji-san? You absolutely mustn't ruin our Dog Cocky Cat branding!!"

The silver-haired girl had waved her hands around, nagging him like crazy.

Toji sighed. "Got it."

Now, spotting the fresh Dog Cocky Cat strawberry milk in Riko's hands, Toji immediately locked on.

Satoru tensed, ready to attack. Suguru quickly shielded Riko and Kuroi, pulling them back.

Toji lazily half-opened his eyes and called out, "Hey, you little Star Plasma brat, don't drink that milk. Hold on to it. I want it later."

Satoru: "?"

Suguru: "?"

Riko blinked in confusion for a second—then suddenly shouted in shock, on the verge of tears, "You're a full-grown man! Why are you trying to steal a middle schooler's strawberry milk—!!"

Everyone turned to look at him with that hard to describe expression.

Toji: "."

Toji (completely shameless): "Yeah, I'm snatching it. So what?"

Chihori was in an office inside the Dog Cocky Cat building when she got the message, and she made it to the scene pretty fast.

At the scene, Naoya was leaning against the wall looking super impatient, while Megumi was carefully wrapping the sleeping golden mushroom in a handkerchief, shooting Naoya an occasional glare full of judgment.

Megumi's eyes were basically saying: Deadbeat parent who just abandons their kid without raising it.

Naoya (#): "......" I already told you, that mushroom has nothing to do with me!!

The blond fox had just been about to snap when he caught sight of a silver-haired girl walking toward them.

As soon as Naoya saw her face, he froze, then frowned and said in shock, "...Why the hell are you here too?!"

Seriously, what kind of clingy ghost are you?!!

He quickly recovered from his initial slip-up and put his expression back in place, returning to his previous cocky pose.

"Don't tell me you work at Dog Cocky Cat?"

The blond guy raised an eyebrow, chin tilted slightly up, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he said, "Oh—don't tell me you're broke and can't even afford food now? Looks like the Gojo family really doesn't give a crap about you."

Next to him, Megumi paused for a second when he heard that last part, and a kid's natural confusion popped up:

'...What's the Gojo family got to do with this? Isn't big sister's last name Geto???'

Right then, the silver-haired girl walked quickly toward them. Naoya puffed up his chest and kept his arrogant stance, but quietly stayed on guard in case she tried to attack him when she got close.

She was getting closer—closer—

Naoya's whole body tensed up, but Chihori just strode right past him and walked straight up to Megumi in a few quick steps. "The child's okay, right? Let me see—oh my god, what a cute little golden baby!!"

"Yeah, he's sleeping really soundly." Little Megumi lowered his voice and gently rocked the handkerchief-wrapped golden mushroom.

"Look at those adorable spots, it's melting my heart," Chihori said, her eyes reflecting the sleeping Sun-shroom.

"I like its colors too." Megumi nodded in agreement.

Completely ignored Naoya Zen'in: "."

'What the hell is this?! A freaking mushroom's more interesting than him now?! What happened to his dignity?!'

Naoya finally snapped and yelled to get everyone's attention, "So what the hell are you even doing here? I came to see your top boss, hurry up and bring that woman out!"

"Hm?" Chihori stood up and turned around, blinking. "Oh, you mean Her Highness Dog-head Rose?"

Naoya: "What?"

"Dog-head Rose. That's the official title of Dog Cocky Cat's top boss."

Naoya: ...What kind of ridiculous and outdated title is that?!

His sharp, fox-like eyes narrowed, and he said irritably, "I don't care what she's called. I just need to see her. Right now."

Chihori nodded. "Of course, you can. But first, there's a tiny little condition."

Naoya narrowed his eyes. "Oh?"

"Come on, little sea urchin," Chihori said, turning to Megumi with a burst of energy. "Sing us the summon condition!"

Megumi went quiet for a second, clearly super unwilling to play along (System: no "clearly"—he definitely didn't want to play along).

But after letting out a sigh, he still cooperated and started singing:
"Once upon a time there was a Dog-head Castle, with a queen who was off the charts~
Shout 'Dog-head Rose' loud and proud, Her Highness will show up right now~"

Naoya Zen'in: "???"
Why the hell are you suddenly singing?!

Naoya's face darkened. "Are you messing with me right now?"

"No, the customer is always right. We'd never do that," Megumi said calmly, looking up. "It's just... our boss is kinda weird. If you want to summon her, you need to shout: Dog-head Rose shines bright."

Naoya: ...Is this some kind of curse?

"We really don't have any other way," Megumi said.

The proud heir of the Zen'in family went quiet for a second. There was no way he was going to shout something so humiliating and weird!

But if he didn't meet the boss, wouldn't that mean he wasted his whole winning ticket? He came all the way here just to see Toji-kun!

Naoya fought a whole internal battle on the spot, and in the end, he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, glanced around to make sure no one else was watching, and finally gave in.

"You swear yelling that will make her show up?" he asked, suspicious. "How does your boss even know someone's shouting it?"

Megumi replied, "That's a physics question. You'll understand soon."

System: [That's right. A physics question. Chihori's logic.jpg]
