'I don't know if I'll ever get used to that,' Natsuki thought as the game was loaded again. 'And now I have to find a way to top Yuri. What I had planned originally just won't cut it, ehe. Luckily, I always have a plan B. Now I just have to get him to come over, but how the fuck do I do that? Flirt? I have no idea how to fucking do that...wait, he said he liked manga, didn't he? Yeah, that's how I'll get him.'

"Yaay! I'm so happy!" Sayori hugs MC. "You're in the club!"

"Well, I suppose with that, we can end the meeting on a happy note!" Monika says cheerfully. "Your turn," she whispered to Natsuki.

"Hey MC? You said you read manga, right?" She asked as innocently as she could.

"Uhh, I mean, yeah, I read manga." MC was blushing slightly. 'Ugh, makes me want to vomit a little just thinking about it.'

"W-well...I have a small collection in the closet, if you want to take a look."

"Oh, sure Natsuki, I'll check it out." 'It worked? Yes!'

"This way!" Natsuki pulls out the first volume of Parfait Girls. 'He may think it's just a girly manga, but it'll draw him in.' "Here, sit down and read." She patted the floor next to her. MC hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

"Isn't the club meeting over?"

"Well, yeah, but we did end it a lot earlier than normal, so you may as well get used to it, and what better way to pass the time than by reading manga?"

"But wouldn't it be more comfortable in a desk?"

"No, it wouldn't work that way."

"Wha-?"

"Just start reading."

The two finished the first volume before they decided it was time to leave.

"Okay, I'll admit, I was skeptical at first, but it is better than I thought it would be."

"See, I knew you would like it. So what are you gonna do now, MC?"

"Uh, well, I guess I'm just gonna go home, I suppose."

"Oh, ok… Well I was wondering if you wanted to come over and do some baking with me? We could even read more manga while we wait, if you wanted to."

"Oh, umm...sure, that sounds fun."

'Well that was easy. I can't believe this guy, just bat a few eyelashes and he's like putty in your hands. He really did join for the, ughh...cute girls.'

The walk to Natsuki's place was fairly uneventful. The two made small chat about their favorite mangas and animes, Natsuki going into detail about why Parfait Girls is the superior manga. MC, meanwhile, shrugged, as he was indifferent when it came to slice-of-life or "girly" mangas. MC told her that he preferred things with more action. Noticing his indifference towards Parfait Girls, Natsuki glared at him.

"I'll have you know that it is more than just a slice-of-life manga. It really develops the character, and it actually has a plot to it. Don't judge a book by its cover. You're in a literature club, afterall."

"S-sorry…"

"Whatever."

They arrived at Natsuki's place shortly after. Walking in, MC noticed there was a large quantities of bottles in the living room area.

"What's with those bottles?" MC asked.

"Huh?" Natsuki looked into the living room. "Oh, those were just my dad's. Don't worry, he's not here. Let's do some baking!"

"So what do we need for prep?"

"We'll need some large bowls, the mixer, and the ingredients. Oh, and the trays, of course."

'Have you never done any baking in your life? Whatever, it's not like he's actually gonna help me.'

"Okay, grab the flour, it should be in the cupboard up there," Natsuki said, pointing towards a cupboard near the refrigerator. MC walks towards the cupboard and points to it.

"This one?"

"Yeah. It might be towards the back."

MC gets on a step ladder to look, but while he is looking in the cupboard, Natsuki pulls out a rolling pin. Quietly approaching MC, so as not to raise suspicions, she asks, "Do you see it?"

"No, are you sure it's in this one?"

"Yeah, it's in there." 'Okay, Nat, no turning back now. The time is now!'

Natsuki winds up, swings the rolling pin as hard as she can, hitting MC in the knee. She hears a loud crack, followed by a thud and a scream as MC falls to the floor in pain. She looks and sees him clutching his leg.

"What the fuck, Natsuki!?" MC managed to say through pain and tears. "You broke my fucking leg! Gaaaaahhhhhh!"

"I've got years of pent up frustration that I need to get rid of," Natsuki says, cracking her knuckles. "You're gonna be my new punching bag." She kicks him in the face, knocking MC out. "Huh, that was too easy. Well, now to finish these cupcakes!"

About an hour later, MC started to wake up. Not really remembering what had happened, he tries to stand up, but is met with a sharp pain, and he collapses to the floor.

"It's broken, dummy. Don't even try it. Now, let's read some manga!"

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Natsuki?" MC screamed at her. This shocked Natsuki for a moment, but then all she felt was anger.

"With me? What the fuck is wrong with you? You literally joined a club because of 'cute girls,' and only showed up because Sayori made me bake cupcakes to get you to join. Speaking of Sayori, you've practically ignored her, your best friend, since we started high school. Do you have any idea what that did to her emotionally? You never stop to check how she is. You don't even know her, do you? Do you know about her problems, or are you oblivious to those to? I doubt you'd know about it, since you're too selfish to even think about her most days. You...you're pathetic…"

Natsuki takes the rolling pin to his other leg, giving it an equal amount of force as the other received earlier. He falls face forward, catching himself with his hands. She notices his left hand sticking out, and she stomps on it.

"Don't worry, I'm just getting warmed up. Like I said, years of pent of frustration." She grabs him by the hair, pushing him to his rear. With her other hand, she punches him in the face. She starts throwing several fists at MC's face, before turning her attention to his body. She kicks him in the gut, causing MC to topple over.

Natsuki continues to beat him for several minutes, leaving MC bloody and bruised. "Toughen up, cupcake, I've gone through this shit too. I'm 18, just like you. I know you thought I was a first year because I'm so small. There's a reason I'm this small, you know. For most of my life, I've dealt with abuse from my papa. Papa's a piece of shit. He starved me, beat me, left me just like you are right now on several occasions. Like I said, years of frustration because of that piece of shit. Or at least, he was one. Thank god that Monika told me about the reset, I probably never would have done this if I didn't know about it."

"Reset? Monika?"

Natsuki punches his shoulder hard. "Don't interrupt me, dummy. As I was saying, I probably wouldn't have done this. But I'll be honest...being free of papa is the best feeling I've had in years. It was surprisingly easy to kill him too, despite him being much larger than me. The idiot left so many whiskey bottles laying around the house, from all those times he'd come home and get drunk...before he'd beat me...this time, however, I beat him. Found him passed out in the living room, so I grabbed one of the bottles, and it didn't take much effort to smash his face in. It was a little messy, but I cleaned it up pretty quickly. I had a backup plan, of course. I keep the kitchen knives pretty sharp, so that was plan B if he managed to get up. Now, I have to admit something, after seeing what Yuri did to you, I felt a little bad for you."

"What?"

Natsuki slaps him across the face. "I said, don't interrupt me. Where was I? Oh, yeah, I felt a little bad after what Yuri did. I'll be much faster than she was. Plus, now that I've punched out all of my anger, I'm feeling a lot nicer than I was earlier. Oh, and the cupcakes are done, too. You should have one. They're to die for."

"I don't really want one."

"Yes you do." She grabs his face, forcing his mouth open. While holding it open, she grabs a cupcake and stuffs it in his mouth. "There you go. I didn't poison it, if that's what you're worried about. So enjoy it…because it's the last thing you're ever going to eat."

"Mmpf?!"

Natsuki grabs MC's head and twisted it has hard as she could. She heard a loud crack and MC went limp. Natsuki looked at her handiwork and brushed herself off. She let out a sigh and picked up her phone to text Sayori.

(Cupcake) Hey Sayori, mind if I stop by your place?

(Sayo) ! YES! Come over!

(Sayo) Wait, what about MC?

(Sayo) Did you do it?

(Cupcake) Gross, get your mind out of the gutter

(Sayo) Huh? Wait thats not wat I meant

(Cupcake) I kno what u meant

(Cupcake) And yes, I did it...mostly. I have one last thing to do before I'm done.

(Sayo) Ok come over anytime

(Cupcake) Cool, see ya in a few

Natsuki set her phone down and looked at her clothes. Can't go out in public like this. There's blood all over me. But first things first, she checked up on MC to see if he really was dead. To her surprise, he was still breathing, barely. She grabbed his body and dragged him towards the oven. Natsuki was happy that her mother was a baker, because she had bought a large oven prior to passing away. She opened the large kitchen appliance door, and took out the oven racks. She then placed MC's limp body into the oven and closed the door. As she walked away, she grabbed her papa's still full bottles of alcohol and poured it around the kitchen and living room. She then walked to her room and changed her clothes. Walking back down to the kitchen, she turned the oven on to 500 degrees, turned on the gas to the stove top, and walked out the door for the last time… at least until the reset happened, and made her way to Sayori's place.

When there, she knocked on the door, and Sayori opened the door almost immediately.

"Heeeeeeyyy!" Sayori said before embracing the smaller girl.

"Jeez, let me go!"

"Ehehe, sorry...so what did you do?"

"I was gonna use the group chat to explain to the others. But first, we have to wait for a few minutes, it should be starting soon."

"What should be starting soon?"

"Oh, I'm burning that hell hole down. Should be going up pretty soon now."

Moments after saying that, Sayori noticed smoke coming from the direction of Natsuki's place. She pointed to it before Natsuki saw. "I think that's your doing?"

Natsuki giggles, "Yep, and that should be it. I'll explain on the group chat now."

(Cupcake) I'm done.

(Mon-Mon) Nice!

(Sayo) What did you do?

"You really are impatient, Sayori, ahaha."

"Ehehe, sorry, I just really want to know!"

(Cupcake) I beat him, snapped his neck, and threw him in my oven. Burning my place to the ground.

"Woah! Nice job, Nat!"

"Thanks!"

(Yuu) Ahh, you went easy on him.

(Cupcake) Shut up! I made him hurt. We can't all be as sadistic as you.

(Sayo) Plz dont fight

(Mon-Mon) Yes, I'm sure Nat did great!

(Yuu) Alright, I'm sorry. I'm still just a little excited from before.

(Cupcake) Take it out on a pen, then...

(Mon-Mon) Oookaaaay...resetting in a minute.

(Cupcake) Whatever.

Natsuki set her phone down, and took out the tray of cupcakes from her backpack.

"Sayori, you want a cupcake?"

Sayori let out a noise of excitement and quickly grabbed two cupcakes and shoved them into her mouth. Natsuki grabbed one and plopped it into her mouth as well.

"Today was a good day."

The two girls then waited for the reset to happen as they watched the smoke rising from Natsuki's house.
