“...And that’s what happened to me yesterday,” I finished telling the story in Kozakura’s dimly lit room.

Toriko was beside me, cackling with laughter.

“N-Ninja! Cats!”

Toriko collapsed on the arm of the sofa, gasping for breath through her laughter.

“Do you have to laugh so hard?”

“Hey! They sound cute!”

I don’t know what had tickled her funny bone, but this was apparently a laugh riot for her. The weirdo.

“Ninja cats, hm... That must be some hard stuff she’s been doing. Don’t get into drugs, even if she offers them to you, Sorawo-chan. You’re already messed up enough as is.”

“I won’t, and I’m not!”

Kozakura was as rude as ever. Today, she was drinking a ridiculously oversized glass of cola through a straw. It seemed that she drank it chilled in summer, at least.

“Kinda harsh, when we bought you all those souvenirs in Okinawa, don’t you think?”

“How long do you plan to keep bringing up something that happened more than half a month ago?” Kozakura said while chomping on the ice that was in her glass. “I’ll gladly take your gifts, but I still haven’t forgotten the way you tormented me with pictures of tasty food I couldn’t have.”

“How long do you plan to keep bringing up something that happened more than half a month ago?”

“I’m not one to forget grudges, okay?”

It had been a while since we got together like this. It wasn’t just Kozakura—I hadn’t seen Toriko for a while since coming back from Okinawa, either. I’d been too busy with last term’s exams to do anything else.

I’d taken a number of days off just before the exam period, which honestly made it tough. Though, I’m sure someone with friends would have been able to borrow lecture notes from the lectures they missed... Ultimately, I had to give up on a number of credits.

After enjoying the beach resort Toriko and I had all to ourselves in the other world, we escaped from nearly going insane, but ended up on Ishigaki Island, four hundred kilometers from the main island in Okinawa. We could have flown back to Tokyo the next day, but after the terror we experienced on that beach, Toriko and I were both mentally ground down.

We needed rest. Real rest...

That being the case, Toriko and I booked a nearby resort hotel, and we stayed for three whole days. A real resort hotel. Not anything like that New York-style pension, or whatever it was supposed to be.

Sure, it was costly. But it was a necessary expense.

We could just earn that money back in the other world. Yeah, this was an investment in our ability to do just that—is what we told each other. We stayed in a super expensive room at same-day arrival pricing, swam in the pool, ordered cocktails by the poolside, and went beach-combing for bits of coral. Then we took a taxi into town at night to eat Ishigaki beef and locally caught fish, then send Kozakura pictures of all the tasty food and alcohol. Thanks to that, we came back to Tokyo refreshed, so you could say it was a necessary use of time.
