Facing the earth, eyes wide in grief, Haibara sobbed, "My watermelon!! My watermelon—!! I didn't even get one bite, waaaaah—!!"

He collapsed to the ground. "Waaah, this summer's too cruel! My watermelooon—!"

While the cheerful bowl-cut boy mourned the tragic loss of his beloved fruit, right where the watermelon had landed, something with eyes suddenly sprouted from the ground!

"?" Haibara's sobs caught in his throat.

Uh... what is that?

—A new plant had been born!

Haibara had both hands on the ground, staring blankly at the watermelon that suddenly popped up from the soil.

Beside him, Nanami noticed his friend had fallen flat when the watermelon appeared. He reached out to help him up—only to catch sight of the watermelon that had just burst out of the ground.

Nanami: "?"

Nanami: "...What is that?"

Yu Haibara, with his signature energetic bowl cut, stared dumbfounded at the melon, his hand trembling as he reached out. "Th-this is a watermelon...? Is this the universe making it up to me with a watermelon?"

"No no no, there are no such things as gods in this world, we gotta rely on our own hands!"

He paused for a second, then suddenly hesitated.

"But then again, curses are real... so maybe gods exist too?"

"But I only dropped a small piece of watermelon—how could I be compensated with a melon this big? Is this one of those river god situations? Ugh, is this a hallucination or a test?!"

System: [Random association detected—gold, silver, and iron axe scenario! What did you drop: a piece of rind, a melon seed, a melon slice, or a whole watermelon?]

Haibara suddenly looked serious. Just before his hand touched the melon, he pulled back and shook his head hard. "No—I'm a second-year jujutsu sorcerer now. I absolutely won't be tempted by a watermelon! I will pass the legendary river god's test!!"

Nanami: "."

He silently chose to just help his friend off the ground first.

"What river god?" Not far off, Shoko turned slightly in their direction after hearing Haibara's shouting. "There's never been a river here—well, unless you count rivers of sweat and tears."

"Huh? Wait, what's that on the ground?" Shoko clearly also noticed the weirdly sprouted watermelon.

Nanami paused for a second, then looked back at the watermelon catapult, growing out of the ground—eyes, expression, and all. He stared at the plant in silence, almost unnerved.

It looked like an ordinary watermelon, but layered over it was a human-like expression... plus a thrower's basket straight out of some medieval catapult. The whole vibe—somehow—felt oddly familiar.

Nanami looked up, and in the distance, those swaying sunflower faces came into view. That's when it finally hit him...

—That art style confirmed it. It came from the same family of plants!

Standing next to Shoko, Suguru also looked over. His eyes landed on the watermelon catapult and he froze for a beat, then walked over. "Haibara, don't tell me—"

"Yes, I dropped a piece of watermelon." Haibara, now wiping off the childlike sadness on his face, declared firmly, "But I'm honest. I would never take even a sliver more than I dropped!" The spirited boy clenched his fist. "This watermelon right here isn't mine!"

Suguru: "...No, that's not what I was trying to say."

He cleared his throat, then gave Haibara a warm smile. "Congratulations, Haibara. You've given birth too."

System: [Don't use that midwife tone and delivery, Suguru!!]

Haibara: "???"

'Senpai, what are you even saying, I don't understand a thing!!' Haibara's thoughts spiraled into cosmic dog-mode.

Nanami gave a "figures" kind of look. He patted his friend on the shoulder and calmly explained, "Remember the plant lesson? Under special circumstances, people can also produce plants. That watermelon was born from you."

"Me...?" Haibara blinked in surprise.

"That's right." Suguru's eyes crinkled as he smiled gently. His voice dropped a little. "Go ahead, Haibara. Gently pick up your watermelon. That's your precious child."

"My child...?" Haibara was still deep in his cosmic dog-brain enlightenment state. He instinctively followed his senpai's lead, awkwardly yet carefully cradling the watermelon catapult in both arms.

Suguru looked at him with encouragement and admiration in his eyes. "Well done, Haibara."

System: [This art style is getting weirder and weirder!!]

Shoko walked over in a few relaxed steps, half-lidded eyes lowering as she casually reached out and poked the watermelon nestled in the catapult's basket. "Can the watermelon in this part be taken out?"

"Hehe, you won't know till you try!" A cheerful and familiar voice suddenly cut in—it was Satoru, who had somehow come back again!

"Satoru? That was fast." Suguru turned around in surprise. "Looks like you've got experience now. Just need a few more rounds to really get used to it."

Satoru: "We don't need a few more rounds, thank you very much!" His tone lifted playfully. "But this time I'm back in a brand-new style!"

—Everyone looked up to see Satoru hovering in midair, a three-leaf plant spinning on top of his head.

Everyone else: "?"

Satoru pointed at the three-leaf clover on his head, which looked suspiciously like a Doraemon-style bamboo copter, and beamed. "When I flew off just now, this clover thing suddenly popped out on my shoulder, so I just stuck it on top of my head—and guess what, turns out it unlocked a new mode!"

"Doraemon's bamboo copter—"

Shoko: "Hmm... visually, not even close."

Satoru: "As long as it works, who cares what it looks like!"

System: [♪ If I had a robot cat, I'd name him Doraemon~ With bamboo copters and time tunnels, we'd go anywhere—♪]

"Sure, I can float now with Limitless, but this way is way more fun!" Satoru was all pumped up, pitching the clover-copter to the others. "Reclaim your lost childhood—today!"

Shoko calmly exposed him, "Your childhood seems to have never left you."

Suguru added, "Shoko's putting it politely. I'll say it in plain language—can you be any more childish, Satoru."

"Hey hey, that's harsh. Weren't we just playing with fairy wings a few days ago? At our age, this stuff is just right," Satoru laughed, then zipped off to the other side, floating light as air.

"Anyway, let me help test if this watermelon can be taken out!" With the clover still spinning overhead, Satoru hovered over to the watermelon catapult cradled in Yu Haibara's arms, lifting a hand to scoop up the watermelon from the basket.
