Chapter 31 - chapter 27:let's retcon something(update)

In Haruka's Bedroom

3:00 A.M.

In the dim moonlight of his room, we see Haruka lying on his bed, sweating like he just ran a marathon in the Sahara, while wiggling around like a fish out of water — or more accurately, like a worm getting electrocuted by a confused god.

And then... . . . . . . . . (Flashback Begins)

"You're telling me... a damn kid froze an entire city?" a man in a military uniform yells, gripping his pistol like it owes him money.

"Yep," replies Haruka, calm as ever in a t-shirt and jeans. "Surprisingly, nobody's died yet. Just... y'know... solid popsicles."

"You know, Hinata-san, I wouldn't believe this crap if you hadn't shown me that frozen dinosaur zoo," the military guy mutters while switching his pistol's safety on.

"Yeah... anyway, got any bright ideas?" Haruka asks while casually side-eyeing the freezing horizon.

"Nope," Military Dude shrugs. "This world's toast—well, ice toast. America, Russia, China... they all got hit. It's like the Ice Age called and said, 'Round 2, baby!'"

"...Sigh. How's your wife doing, Ichikawa-san?" Haruka asks, placing a hand on his shoulder like a dramatic anime mentor five minutes before death.

"She's good. Just gave birth to triplets,in malaysia..." Ichikawa says proudly... as the air grows colder.

"That's... that's good," Haruka replies with a faint smile—right before both men get flash-frozen by something unknown

(Flashback Ends)

. . . . . . . . Back in Haruka's Bedroom

6:00 A.M.

Haruka suddenly bolts awake like someone just whispered "Final Exam" into his ear. He's drenched in sweat — the kind that screams "I saw the end of the world and forgot deodorant."

"...Haaah...haaah...GASP...Whew~... that was not a good dream," he pants, dragging himself out of bed like a zombie going to his 9-to-5.

He pulls a towel from his inventory and waddles to the bathroom in nothing but boxers like a man who's given up on life — or pants.

6:15 A.M.

Now clean, wet, and 20% more alive, Haruka wipes himself with the towel like a towel-using pro and then calls out:

"System, what's today's gacha special?" he asks, voice still deadpan as ever.

[Not much... but you do need some clothes, you underdressed twink.]

"Wow, was that supposed to hurt me?" Haruka smirks smugly.

[Yes.]

"…Right. Whatever. Just give me the summon tab," Haruka mutters while shuffling through drawers like a raccoon looking for dignity.

[Here you go:

✨ SUMMON AN ITEM SPECIAL 🥋

💝 SUMMON YOUR YANDERE, TSUNDERE, KUUDERE, AND HIMEDERE NOW!

✈️ SUMMON YOUR WORLD TICKET! ✈️]

"You know... why does this menu change every time I open it?" Haruka mutters as he taps on the Item Summon.

[Because the system has ADHD. Also the author's lazy.]

"Huh... lazy writing, huh?" Haruka says.

(Me: I'M NOT LAZY, I JUST HATE STATIC UI TABS OKAY??!)

> Free Summon: Result — T-Shirt and Shorts

"Good enough," Haruka says, putting on the generic outfit like a gacha peasant.

"Okay, now food," he says, heading to the kitchen — only to find Yoshinon, Yoshino, and Loriana already cooking like it's a slice-of-life anime breakfast episode.

'Man... MILF and loli combo... Wait—Isn't Yoshino like 40 or something? So that's two MILFs and a puppet rabbit. What even is my life?' Haruka thinks as he sits at the table.

"Oh, you're up already?" Loriana says, a bit surprised.

"Had a nightmare. Anyway, what's on the menu, culinary queens?" Haruka asks with an overly polite bow that screams "feed me or perish."

"Omelet and sushi," Loriana replies cheerfully.

Three plates, three spoons, three miso soups — presentation on point. Gordon Ramsay would cry.

"So... tell us about that nightmare," Yoshinon says while stirring something suspicious.

"Got hit by a truck," Haruka replies like it's just another Tuesday.

"That's it?" Yoshinon blinks.

Haruka freezes... but not because of flashbacks this time — a SYSTEM MESSAGE just smacked him in the brain.

'What the... why is this so damn long?!' Haruka screams internally.

"You know what... girls, I'll be right back," Haruka says as his body begins glitching out of existence like a bad internet connection.

"Huh? What do you mea—wait, why are you—hey—HELLO?!"

Haruka faceplants after falling from the sky for the 47th time this month.
