Mystic Code Deployment: Bonus Chapters ✨
---
Why would she suddenly give me this? Kamigawa Saku wondered as he opened the box that Uika had handed him.
Inside, he found a pink sticky note, which read:
Thank you for helping me at the planetarium. Just a small token of appreciation—please accept it.
After reading the note, he realized what she meant.
It was her way of thanking him for recognizing her back then but not calling attention to it—and for showing her how to adjust the seat, of course.
Even though it had been a minor gesture, and she'd already thanked him in person, she'd still taken the time to send him a small gift in the afternoon.
It was clear now—Misumi Uika wasn't just beautiful; she also had a very kind personality.
Setting the note aside, Kamigawa checked out the rest of the contents: an elegant box of gourmet sweets and a signed sumimi album.
"Want to try one?" Kamigawa offered after pulling out the album and opening the sweets box, glancing at Nyamu, who had been sneaking looks his way from the corner of her eye.
He'd noticed her discreet glances all along, though he hadn't pointed it out.
Since there was no reason Uika would send him anything unusual, it was easier to open the gift right in front of Nyamu, leaving no room for speculation.
Besides, she could be his witness.
"Huh? Are you sure?" Nyamu blinked in surprise. "These are from Uika-chan, right? Wouldn't it be rude for me to take some?"
While she wasn't usually one for sweets, the fact that these had come from a popular idol added a certain charm she couldn't resist.
"Of course. They're just sweets." Kamigawa replied easily. "Nothing to worry about."
"Thanks."
Nyamu took a piece and popped it into her mouth, while Kamigawa did the same.
As a food review influencer, he'd tried these sweets before, so there were no surprises. This was just a polite gesture to show that he accepted her gift.
"Saku, are you and sumimi's Uika-chan close?" Nyamu asked once she'd finished her treat, voicing the question that had been on her mind.
From the contents of the box, they didn't exactly seem like a couple—who would gift their partner a signed album, after all?
So the only possibility left was that they were friends.
"No, not at all. We've only met twice."
To avoid any potential misunderstandings, Kamigawa decided to be honest about his relationship with Uika.
Nyamu gestured toward the box he'd set aside. "Then, why did she…?"
Only met twice, and yet she'd given him a gift?
Could his charm really be that strong?
"Oh, I happened to help her out once," Kamigawa explained. "Even though it wasn't anything big, she was very formal in thanking me for it."
To add credibility, he handed Nyamu the sticky note Uika had written.
"Got it."
Nyamu read the note and nodded. That made sense.
Though now, a new question popped into her mind—how exactly had he helped Misumi Uika?
It would be amazing to have connections with such a popular idol.
But, asking more would just be prying too much.
This Kamigawa Saku is definitely someone worth keeping close, she thought as she kept up a lighthearted conversation with him.

Meanwhile, across town, Togawa Sakiko had just finished her shift at customer service and returned home as usual.
"I'm home."
Opening the door to the small, dim apartment, she took in the sight of beer cans scattered across the cramped living room, and her hands clenched.
I'm out here working to support this family, and he's wasting precious money on things like this?
What's so good about this stuff anyway?
"Damn old man."
Muttering under her breath, Sakiko headed to her room.
It was much smaller than her old bedroom, but she kept it neat and tidy.
Sitting down at her desk, she opened the drawer and pulled out the contract Kamigawa had given her, reading over it once more.
She'd already consulted a lawyer to make sure everything was in order. The terms were generous.
It was clear he was serious about this offer.
For weeks now, Sakiko had been mulling over whether or not to accept.
She was leaning toward agreeing; the pay would be a huge step up from her current job.
In the meantime, she'd checked out his Instagram profile, even digging around online for an idea of what kind of income influencers with similar follower counts made.
Even though the figures varied widely, it was clear that his career path offered substantial money.
Thinking of her father drinking himself into a stupor while her customer service job brought in a meager income, Sakiko finally made up her mind. She took out the business card Kamigawa had given her.
Staring at the various contact options printed on it, she pulled out her phone and began drafting an email.
She'd tell him her decision.

At that same moment, Kamigawa was happily munching on Uika's sweets, chatting with Nyamu.
"Excuse me, let me check my messages real quick."
Noticing his phone buzzing in his pocket, Kamigawa gave Nyamu a quick apology.
"No problem, go ahead."
Nyamu gave him a friendly nod, showing she didn't mind.
Taking out his phone, he saw an email notification from his personal inbox.
He opened it, and his eyes lit up when he saw who the sender was: Togawa Sakiko.
Perfect!
Her message was short but clear:
"Sorry for the sudden message; this is Togawa Sakiko. I've thought over what we discussed, and I'm ready to talk details in person."
After skimming her message, Kamigawa's lips curled into a smile.
She'd agreed!
Without delay, he typed back a reply.
"Great! Would tomorrow work for you?"
A few moments later, her response came back:
"Yes, tomorrow works."
"Then please choose the time and place."
For him, the location didn't matter. It was all up to her.
"How about tomorrow at ten, at Hanezawa Café?"
"Perfect."
With the time and place set, their brief conversation came to a close.
