But before he could touch it, the watermelon catapult moved on its own and suddenly launched a big, juicy watermelon into the air!

"So enthusiastic?" Satoru twisted midair, catching the watermelon with a smooth and stylish move.

Feeling the weight in his arms, he grinned and praised loudly, "I like this plant. Super hospitable watermelon!"

Suguru's mouth twitched. "No, that's definitely not hospitality... Judging by usual plant behavior, that's its way of attacking."

The next second, the watermelon catapult suddenly launched another melon—this time aimed at Shoko.

Shoko blinked, a little surprised, but still managed to catch it cleanly. The catapult seemed to have adjusted the strength and angle just right, letting the watermelon land perfectly in her arms.

Right after that, it threw one each to Suguru and Nanami. Finally, it tossed one with just enough force to land right on the wooden table, stacking neatly until the whole tabletop was filled.

Everyone: ...This many?

A treatment they'd never experienced before—surrounded by a paradise of watermelons!

A strand of hair fell near Shoko's cheek as she smiled slightly. "Doesn't seem like an attack... Looks like it really is a hospitable melon."

"Thank you, Watermelon-san!" Haibara's eyes sparkled as he hugged the watermelon in his arms. He looked around at the watermelon-filled scene, eyes wide and brimming with emotion. "Waaah, so many melons... it's like I've ascended to heaven..."

"Whoa, it's a Melon-pult!" Chihori suddenly popped up from the side—she'd just come back from the sunflower field on the other end.

—Yes, kind-hearted Chihori had gone back to that sunflower she'd pulled up earlier as a weapon, and replanted it on a sunny hilltop with care.

Right now, Chihori was glowing with energy as she looked at the Melon-pult. "How did this one grow?"

Haibara cleared his throat and explained, "Well, um, I dropped a piece of melon just now, and before I knew it, boom—a full-on Watermelon-san sprouted out."

"Drop a piece of melon in summer, harvest a thousand fruits in return." Chihori gave a thumbs-up. "You really are the generous mother of melons, Haibara-kun! No wonder you've achieved melon freedom!"

Haibara: "Uwah! I—what an honor?!"

Nanami still remained calm. He raised a hand and patted the watermelon. "Can we eat this?"

"Won't know till we crack it open," Satoru chimed in, still hovering nearby with his clover-copter buzzing. He casually grabbed a fruit knife from the wooden table and spun back. "Wanna slice open this Melon-pult and see?"

But before he could make a move, the Melon-pult suddenly spoke—loud and gruff, "You tryin' to slice me open? What do you think you're doing?!"

Everyone's first reaction: WTF?! This thing can talk now?!
(System: Following in the footsteps of Toothache Starfruit, Melon-pult has also gained speech!)

Everyone's second reaction: "Wait, stop! Don't hurt the actual Melon-pult!!"
(System: [SOMEONE'S M*RDERING A MELON! MELON STAND OWNER IN DANGER!])

Satoru clicked his tongue and wiggled his fingers. "Hey, this is just to find out if it's ripe or not~ One clean slice and mystery solved!"

Suguru: "That's still no reason to chop someone up, Satoru!!"

The Melon-pult's voice was steady and resonant. "I run a watermelon stand, not a baby nursery. You think I'd be serving up unripe watermelons?"

"Thanks so much, Watermelon-san. Even if it was unripe, with this much heart, it'd still taste great." Haibara was moved to tears again. "I'm just so happy... to eat this many melons..."

Chihori, who had been quiet and thinking the whole time, suddenly raised her hand. "Hold up, I have a good idea."

Everyone: "What?"

"In this blazing summer heat—anyone up for some chilled watermelon?" Chihori asked.

"You mean putting all these into the fridge?" Suguru tilted his head, frowning slightly. "The student dorms don't have one... but I think the staff rooms might. Not sure if there's space though..."

"No need to go through all that. We can make it happen right at sunset—once the light gets dim enough." Chihori smiled and winked. "Remember our Ice-shroom? One of the plants that popped out in that pig-stampede chaos during the board meeting."

Everyone: "!" Of course they remembered!

Satoru eagerly raised his hand. "Oh oh, I got it! If we put all these watermelons next to an Ice-shroom and freeze the whole area—we'll get a bunch of chilled watermelons~!"

"No need to move all these melons around either. Just one from Watermelon-san should be enough."

Chihori lightly coughed into her left fist, then looked up with clear green eyes. "Actually... what if we just made an Ice Melon-pult?"

Everyone: "!"

—That? Straight to the endgame!

System: [? The first ever purple card plant... was born just to eat chilled watermelon?!]

Chihori: [Is chilled watermelon not a good enough motivation? This is summer chilled watermelon we're talking about!]

The sun sank beneath the horizon, and the darkness slowly devoured the last sliver of light, eventually swallowing up the entire sky.

Only a few scattered sunflower fields at Jujutsu High continued to glow faintly, flickering on and off, creating a unique nighttime view.

In a pitch-black classroom, several figures stood quietly.

In the silence, Haibara whispered, "...Um, why are we doing the experiment in here again?"

"We needed a relatively enclosed space," Suguru explained. "And clearly, this place is perfect for that."

Nanami pressed his lips together. He didn't seem particularly interested in taking part in this activity, but he still showed up because he didn't trust his friend Haibara to handle it alone. At the moment, he calmly analyzed, "But why a classroom? I think the underground lab would be more suitable for something like this."

"That would normally be the case," Shoko nodded, "but—"

"But in case something goes wrong, a classroom is obviously the best choice!" Satoru jumped in cheerfully, gesturing with excitement. "Right here, right now, stand on this stage and tell me loudly—have you ever dreamed of blowing up a classroom?!"

Nanami, deadpan: "No."

Satoru: "Nanami, you're no fun at all—"

"Alright, let's begin," Suguru coughed lightly to cut off their pointless banter.

Chihori placed the Melon-pult on the teacher's podium. She circled it a few times in thought. "Does it... not have a mouth? How did it talk earlier—some kind of magical ventriloquism?"
