"Welcome back, Neon-sama... Win-san!"
He really couldn't believe what happened. What had just happened? It was not only his imagination... right?
Earlier... he had been turned into... an actual pumpkin. An actual edible pumpkin.
Somehow he wonder what his kid self would have imagined if he had been given the task to write an autobiography of a single pumpkin. His kid self probably wouldn't have imagined what kind of horror story such a scenario could be.
How should he feel about this now?
"Tsumuri-san... what actually happened earlier?"
Neon finally broke the silence after Tsumuri's earlier outburst as Win stared at the younger girl in horror. No... why did Neon-chan have to—Wait, if whatever happened earlier affected Neon as well aside from him then what did Neon turn into...?
"You've suddenly become a manekineko figurine, Neon-sama!" Tsumuri turned towards Win.
"Win-san—! You've been turned into... you've been turned into—" Win frantically shook his head to tell her not to say another word as Tsumuri cried, "I was so scared I didn't know what to do!"
Win took in a big breath. "I felt slightly faint somehow... Tsumu-chan, can you bring over something to drink? Or something a bit easy for me to eat or consume?"
Neon nodded her head as well as she was still in a bit of a shock.
"All right!" exclaimed Tsumuri in understanding. "Then... how about some juice? And maybe... a pumpkin soup?" she said again without thinking—
"Tsumu-chan!" exclaimed Win immediately, suddenly feeling like he was about to cry.
"Ah, my bad!" gasped Tsumuri as her cheeks went red. "I'm sorry, Win-san! It's just... earlier... Win-san had looked so tasty!"
"It's all right, Tsumu-chan!" Win immediately spoke out. "I forgive you—!"
He didn't even know if he should feel flattered or horrified...
But what Win did figure out later on when Michinaga and Sakurai Sara came over and Sara explained about the things that Kekera did and how Michinaga had been turned into a plush buffalo... he realized that some things were better off forgotten.
He had to admit tho... it would have been a pretty wild set of autobiographies that could've been written had any of them able to fully recount all the details of their really weird experiences earlier.
