(Paul's POV)

I just finished cooking sausages, eggs and stir fried vegetables. I finally ran out of ingredients. I calculated the cost of all the ingredients. Since I'm gonna feed three people per day, this is gonna cost me a lot. Natsuki and John were the first to the table. Not a second after they took a seat, they continued their debate.

" Yuri is better than Yaoi!" John had this face of disgust.

" No! Yaoi is better! The art and story plot is superior than Yuri." Natsuki had this grin on her face.

" Oh really Natsuki? Let's ask Pau-"

" NTR. No further question." I took a sip of coffee as they both looked at me with this disgusted look on their faces. It was like I insulted their god or something.

" No! What the hell!" They both said in unison. I smiled as they stopped arguing and proceeded to lecture me on the beauty of vanilla.

Monika and Yuri entered the dining room. They were wearing the clothes Elise and Marie gave them. Yuri was wearing a purple jacket over a blue t-shirt and a simple black leggings. Monika wore a white sweater and black skirt with white stockings. Monika took a sit beside me and Yuri sat beside Natsuki. I noticed that Yuri seems a little tired.

" Yuri... You ok?" Yuri stammered as she answered.

" Ah, M-my back hurts, I couldn't really sleep last night." Yuri was playing with a strand of her hair.

" Well that's because your chest is so developed Yuri. No wonder your back keeps hurting." Natsuki had this mischievous grin.

" E-eh!? N-no it's not that! I..." Yuri bowed her head down in embarrassment.

" Ahaha~ Yuri don't pay attention to Natsuki! She is clearly jealous of your mature body." I nearly spat out my coffee.

" Monika! N-no! I'm not jealous..." John patted Natsuki on the head.

" Flat is Justi-" John bit down on his lip as Natsuki stepped on his foot.

Elise and Sayori finally arrived. Sayori was wearing a pink sweater and a striped red and white t shirt with red leggings. Elise wore a black jacket and a black skirt. They took a sit and began to eat with us.

Me and John washed the dishes. As we washed the dishes we could hear the girls laughing about something.

" Pretty nice huh? Instead of everything going wrong like in the game, everyone is getting along nicely huh?" John let out a chuckle.

" Yeah, it sure is. Monika just needed some love and affection. If you give that to her, I don't she would have did all those horrible things." I placed the last plate in the container.

I told everyone it's time to go. I locked the doors and we all head towards the mall. It was a few blocks away and only a 10 minute walk. We laughed and talk during the walk. I held Monika's hand, because that is what couples do, right? John and Natsuki both kept arguing with Yuri about manga. Elise and Sayori kept the three from escalating the situatuon into an all out war. After a few more minutes we reach the mall. I went to the ATM to withdraw some money. But as soon as I turned around... Everybody except Monika is gone. I sighed and told Monika to follow me. I held her hand and we immediately headed towards the grocery store. But as we walked, I saw a chocolate store. I remembered what Monika said to me in her room. She wanted to visit a chocolate store.

" Monika, close your eyes."

" Huh, okay." Monika closed her eyes and lead her in front of the chocolate store.

" Ok open them."

" Hmm? Oh! Oh my gosh... Paul, you sweetheart." Monika kissed me on my cheek.

We entered the store and tried out all sorts of chocolates. After a while we bought a bunch of chocolates and we immediately went to the grocery store. We got a shopping cart and proceeded to look for the things on my list. I pushed the cart as Monika put the stuff in it. I checked my phone when I heard a notification. John sent a selfie of him, Natuski and Yuri inside a bookstore. We continued grocery shopping, I noticed Monika was humming 'Your Reality'. I can't help but sing to the tune.

" Have you found, everybody a fun assignment to do today?" Monika paused for a moment. She turned back and smiled.

" When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyway~" We then began to sing in unison.

" When I can't even read my own feelings, what good are words when a smile says it all? And if these world won't write me an ending... What will it take just for me to have it all?" We laughed at what we just did.

" Ahaha~ We make a good duet, you and I." Monika smiled.

We chat as we slowly finished up the list. In the end, I managed to spent around a hundred dollars just on food. Jeez, how could I carry so many items?

" Paul? Is that you?" I turned around and saw my older brother, Andrew, holding a bag of instant ramen and other stuff.

" What the hell? What are you doing here? It's so nice to see you again!" I gave him a tight hug.

I just wanted to visit my little brother, who turns out to have a cosplayer girlfriend." He laughed and patted me on the back.

" You go spend some time with your girlfriend, I'm going back to our house and unloading this groceries. Call me if ya' want a ride home!" He waved goodbye as he took our cart towards the exit.

" You have a brother Paul?" Monika asked me.

" Y-yeah, but he lives far away." I looked into my phone to see if anyone texted me. It was Sayori and Elise. They sent a picture of them eating a parfait.

" We need to go shopping for your clothes." Monika nodded and we decided to find them all.

Our first stop was the bookstore. The bookstore in this mall is huge. It's hard to find a people in this place, but thankfully, we know where to look. We immediately went over to the manga section of the bookstore and saw John and Natsuki looking at some manga.

" Huh, this one is interesting." Natsuki told John.

" Oh that... It's nothing but a romantic comedy manga. But if you want to read it I'll buy it for you." Monika and I saw Natsuki's eyes lit up. But then Natsuki did what Natsuki does.

" O-ok. It's not like I enjoy romance or anything. Stupid John." John just laughed it off. We called out to them just as they were about to leave the area.

" Oh it's you guys! How was grocery shopping." John asked me.

" Nice. You guys go and head to that cafe on the second floor. Elise and Sayori is there. We'll get Yuri."

" Wait, what?" John was confused.

" We're going clothes shopping."

" Oh ok." John took Natsuki's hand and wewebt to the cashier, all the while Natsuki was fuming.

" Stop touching my hand creep! Let go!" We laughed as those two head off. We looked for the horror and mystery section. There we saw Yuri, reading an H.P. Lovecraft book. She was pretty immersed in it. Monika approached her quietly.

" Okay everyone! It's time to show your poems!"Monika laughed as Yuri was startled by her.

" Monika! You shouldn't do that!" Yuri pouted. I went up tobYuru and picked up the book she dropped.

" Ehehe~ sorry. Anyway, we should get going Yuri. Clothes shopping is next on the to do list." Yuri smiled at Monika.

" In a way, this sort of feels like the literature club." Monika sighed.

" Yes,yes it does." We went to the counter and I paid for the book. We then went off to find the others.

We made our way to the cafe they were hanging out in. As we entered the door, it was like a scene from an anime. Everyone was smiling and having good time. I took a sit and I just watched everyone do their own thing. John was trying to feed Natsuki his crepe, but Natsuki refuses because she could eat it herself. Yuri read the book I bought her in silence. Sayori and Elise kept talking about the cute clothes they want to buy. And Monika, she was just smiling. She leaned against me and we started chatting.

" You know, this kind of things won't happen inside the Literature Club. It brings me joy to see everyone like this." I smile at the thought.

" Yup, it brings me joy too." Sayori suddenky stood up, and told everyone to take a group picture.

After we were finished, we all went to the department store to buy clothes. I told them to get as much as you need. I went with Monika while Yuri, Elise and Sayori went together. John and Natsuki just tagged along behind us. I smwaited outside the dressing rooms as Monika tried out some T-shirts and dresses that she liked. John sat beside me as Natsuki tried out some clothes as well. John and I decided to engage in a discussion about how to get to diamond in a span of a week. But as we talked, I felt someone lightly tapping me on the shoulder. John's eyes widened, I turned around to see an old... friend of mine.

" Jillian, what a surprise! What are you doing here?" I asked her with this hesitation in my voice.

" I was about to try out some clothes that I like, but the dressing rooms are in use." She took a sit beside me. John was just laughing at me.

" Hey... we dont really talk anymore, huh?" She just kept her head bowed down.

" Yeah... Sorry." Jillian smiled at me.

" Don't be. You just n-"

" Paul! Tell me, how do I look?" Monika got out of rhe dressing room wearing a sleeveless black dress.

" Oh, Monika! You look great in that!" Monika then notices Jillian beside me.

" Hello there! I'm Monika, Paul's girlfriend." Monika then latches on to my arm.

" So you're already going out with someone, huh? Bye Paul." Jillian had this voice of dissapointment and left.

" Well that was awkward." John was looking at his phone.

" Hmmm... I think this one is enough. I'll go ahead and get changed." Monika entered the dressing room. Natsuki then got outside and looked at us.

" W-well?! How do I look?" Natsuki was blushing. She was wearing a cute pink apron dress. I looked over at John, who gave a thumbs up.

" You're so kawaii~" Natsuki's eyes widened and her face turned into a deeper shade of red.

" I'M NOT CUTE! I-IT'S NOT L-LIKE I DRESSED LIKE THIS FOR YOU!" John grinned at Natsuki.

" Well you ARE cute. And your reaction right now makes you even more cuter. " Natsuki civered her face and rushed back inside the changing room.

Monika got outside, wearing her original outfit. She sat beside me and we decided to talk about what we're gonna do after this. Natsuki got out soon after but she had this pouty look towards John. We headed towards the girl's underwear section. It felt like that moment in movies where the old wise man leaves the MC on their own to solve their greatest challenge. John was about to follow them when Natsuki shot him this disgusted look. We took a sit and I asked John if he has his phone. His smile contorted into an expression of realization.

" Natsuki. She has my phone. Ah crap!" I laughed at him.

After a while of us talking to each other, the girls finally finished their shopping. We waited for the others to arrive near the cashier. Soon, the other three managed to find us and I paid for all the clothes. Thus, our shopping day has concluded. John and I carried all the bags, as the girls shared with each other their first experience of shopping. We got home and I placed all the bags in the living room. I heard the sound of moving chairs in the dining room. I saw that it was my brother, eating some instant ramen and watching anime.

" Hey, want to cook dinner?" I asked him.

" Heh, sure. Let me just finish this anime."

I went upstairs to my bedroom, I was alone. Monika and the others are still downstairs. I opened up my computer to play some games. I looked at the desktop and saw the program they made.

I noticed that the device Elise made is still plugged into my computer. I opened the program and suddenly, the device started to vibrate violently. And then, the lights went out..
