Just as Sedusa and Princess Morbucks were about to launch a new attack on Blossom, a childish voice came through: "That's enough, you two!"

Blossom looked at me, stunned: "Br… why are you here?!"

Ignoring Blossom's question, I provoked Sedusa and Princess Morbucks: "You're facing me!"

Sedusa and Princess Morbucks were momentarily stunned, and then they started laughing. Princess Morbucks laughed heartily: "Hahaha! This little baby thinks he can be our opponent!"

Sedusa mocked me, "Little baby, you should hurry back to your mommy~"

These words completely snapped my composure. I raised my middle finger: "Hey, Sedusa, you old hag, your makeup is way too thick! Souchirou would definitely be disgusted!" Then I turned to Princess Morbucks: "And you, Princess Morbucks! You reek of money, it's unbearable!"

Taking advantage of their distraction, I pulled out a red heart-shaped straw and spat at them twice. The saliva hit their faces, and they went berserk!

"I hate rude little brats like you the most!"

"Don't think that just because you're a baby, I will let you off!"

My provocation enraged Sedusa and Princess Morbucks. They angrily attacked me, and despite my best efforts to defend myself, I was thrown away by their force, and the impact even uprooted a large tree.

"Ah! It hurts!" I felt a sharp pain. If it weren't for the protection of the sportswear, I would probably have been seriously injured.

At this moment, Blossom's eyes were filled with anger as she shouted loudly, "You can even pick on babies, are you two even women?! Today, I'm going to teach you two a lesson on behalf of all the mothers in Japan!"

Blossom gathered her energy, threw her yo-yo, and it emitted intense electrical light. The sides of the yo-yo began to separate, and the electrical light in the middle became even fiercer.

"Take this! Wedding Cake Shot!" she shouted, releasing her ultimate move.

Powerful electricity discharged from the yo-yo, emitting a bright flash that enveloped Sedusa and Princess Morbucks.

The two female monsters were struck by the powerful electric shock and screamed in pain. The yo-yo's sides clamped around them, binding them tightly in the middle, rendering them immobile.

Sedusa and Princess Morbucks tried to struggle but were trapped by the strong current and the clamping force, ultimately unable to withstand Blossom's attack. Their resistance gradually weakened, and they were finally knocked down to the ground.

Blossom quickly ran to my side, her eyes filled with concern: "Brick, are you okay? Are you hurt?!"

I shook my head slightly, trying to show a comforting smile: "I'm fine, just a bit of pain. If I could return to my original form, I could knock them down in no time!"

Blossom took a deep breath, obviously relieved by my safe response, but she couldn't help but tease me with a tone of affectionate frustration: "Honestly, you're always so stubborn, even though you're just a baby…"

I turned my head and stuck out my tongue at her: "What do you care!"

Just as Fuzzy Lumpkins was about to attack Bubbles with his massive hands, Boomer swooped down from above and kicked Fuzzy Lumpkins in the head. However, his strength was too small to have any effect, and Fuzzy Lumpkins simply grabbed Boomer's foot and flung him away.

"Boomer!" Bubbles cried out in panic and helplessness, watching in anguish as Boomer was tossed through the air, tears welling up in her eyes.

Despite this, Boomer managed to stand up, dragging his almost unsteady body toward Fuzzy Lumpkins and taunting, "Come on! I'll be your opponent!" He pulled out a cotton swab and shot two earwax pellets, hitting Fuzzy Lumpkins's face.

"How disgusting!" Fuzzy Lumpkins roared in anger at the filth on his face. He swung his hand to strike Boomer again, sending him flying once more. This time, Boomer's body collided with a traffic pole, causing a loud, muffled sound as the pole bent under the impact. Fuzzy Lumpkins was furious, unable to believe that a mere baby could infuriate him so much.

This completely enraged Bubbles. Her eyes blazed with fury, no longer able to tolerate any more harm to Boomer. She roared, "How dare you hurt my Boomer! I will never forgive you!"

Bubbles's energy began to gather rapidly, and her bubbles emitted a dazzling light, forming a giant bubble weight. She lifted her hands and slammed the weight towards Fuzzy Lumpkins. The massive weight arced through the air and struck Fuzzy Lumpkins on the head with a thunderous crash, knocking him out cold.

Seeing Fuzzy Lumpkins fall to the ground, Bubbles's anger subsided slightly as she hurried to Boomer's side. She knelt down and anxiously checked his injuries, her eyes full of concern and pain.

Boomer, though in significant pain, still managed to give his trademark goofy smile, trying to reassure Bubbles, "It's okay, Bubbles. I'm fine... just... a bit sore."

Unable to hold back her tears any longer, Bubbles hugged Boomer tightly, touched by his effort and bravery. She softly comforted him, "Thank you, Boomer. You are so brave, and I will always protect you! No one will ever hurt you again!"

As the Gangreen Gang's five members prepared to surround Buttercup, Butch (in his two-year-old form) suddenly shouted in a childish voice, "Buttercup, hold your breath!" Buttercup immediately stopped breathing, and Butch threw a stinky sock. The sock flew back like a boomerang towards the Gangreen Gang members.

The foul odor spread quickly, making the five members uncomfortable as they covered their noses. Butch took the opportunity to taunt them, glaring contemptuously at the Gangreen Gang members, "You five are ganging up on a girl. Aren't you ashamed? I'll play with you guys!"

This provoked the Gangreen Gang members, especially their leader, Ace. His face turned dark with rage, "Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're a baby!" He launched an attack on Butch.

Although Butch's strength was nearly that of an ordinary child, he bravely fought back, biting Ace's hand and refusing to let go. Ace furiously swung his arm, flinging Butch away. Butch's body crashed hard into the ground, grimacing in pain.

Seeing his friend treated this way, Buttercup was fully enraged. She glared at the Gangreen Gang members and shouted angrily, "You cowards, ganging up on a baby! Don't you have any dignity?!"

Buttercup's fury erupted instantly. She quickly retrieved her giant iron hammer and used an energy ball to amplify its size, increasing its power. She concentrated her strength and unleashed her ultimate move, "Buttercup Finish," swinging the hammer with immense force, "You five turn into stars in the sky!" The powerful force sent the five members flying, transforming them into a meteor streaking across the sky.

Buttercup immediately rushed to Butch's side, kneeling down to check his injuries, "Butch, are you okay? Did you get hurt?!" Her tone was filled with deep concern, "You're just a baby, and you're still so reckless."

Butch forced a smile, trying to comfort Buttercup, "It's okay, Buttercup. Just a bit sore. When I get back to normal, I'll make sure to take them down next time!"

Buttercup was amused by Butch's determination and showed a gentle smile, "Oh, you little rascal. You're so reckless. Don't be so daring next time, alright?"

After restoring Princess Morbucks and Sedusa to Himeko and Sakurako, evening soon arrived.

When it was time for dinner, the Professor decided to order takeout, and the table was filled with tempting Japanese cuisine. Although we now look like two-year-old baby, our craving for these delicious foods hasn't diminished at all. I sat at the dining table, eagerly eyeing the mouthwatering dishes, full of anticipation.

I tried to pick up sushi with chopsticks, but I kept losing my grip. The chopsticks kept slipping in my hands, and I felt a bit frustrated. "Darn it, how am I supposed to eat this?!"

Momoko noticed and came over to help me gently. She took my chopsticks steadily and skillfully picked up a piece of sushi, bringing it to my mouth.

"Yuzuhiko, don't rush; let me help you," Momoko said with a smile, her tone full of care.

I cautiously bit into the sushi and turned my head away, not wanting her to see my embarrassment. "Thanks, Momoko..."

Momoko smiled sweetly and lightly wiped the rice from the corner of my mouth. Then she carefully cleaned my cheek with a handkerchief. Although I felt a bit shy, her smile warmed my heart. She swiftly ate the rice she'd wiped away from my lips, making my face instantly flush with heat.

Meanwhile, Kagami was struggling to scoop soup with a spoon, but his hands were too small, and the spoon kept slipping, leaving Kagami looking frustrated. Seeing this, Miyako, who was sitting beside him, smiled and gently took the spoon, feeding him miso soup.

"Kagami, you're spilling the soup. Let me help you~," Miyako said while bringing the miso soup to Kagami's mouth.

Kagami looked at Miyako with a grateful smile. He couldn't help but lean on her, feeling her warmth. After carefully feeding him the soup, Miyako used a handkerchief to gently wipe the corner of Kagami's mouth. A satisfied smile appeared on Kagami's face. He seemed a bit shy but also felt an unprecedented comfort.

Meanwhile, Shigeru tried to pick up tempura with chopsticks but just couldn't get a grip. He got a bit impatient and considered using his hands, but Kaoru noticed and gently stepped in to help. She delicately picked up a piece of tempura and brought it to Shigeru's mouth.

"Oh, come on, I can't watch this anymore… let me help you," Kaoru said as she brought the tempura to Shigeru's mouth.

Shigeru bit into the tempura, a smile appearing on his face. "Thanks, Kaoru."

Kaoru gently dabbed away the sauce from the corner of Shigeru's mouth with her finger, then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, chuckling softly. Seeing Shigeru blush, Kaoru also felt a warmth in her heart.

However, after dinner, the three girls made a shocking request to us.

"What, bathe together?!" Kagami, Shigeru, and I shouted in unison, not believing our ears.

Immediately, my cheeks flushed again with high heat, and Kagami and Shigeru beside me were also blushing so hard that they seemed to be steaming. I think this made us a hundred times more embarrassed than when they used to blow kisses at us.

My face flushed red, and I shook my head vigorously, trying my best to maintain my dignity. "What?! What kind of joke is this? I don't need help bathing! Even if I'm a baby now, I can still manage on my own!"

Momoko crossed her arms and smiled knowingly. "You can't even reach the faucet, so how do you plan to manage? Besides, your hands can't handle a towel properly. Are you planning to take an incomplete bath by yourself?"

She sighed, feigning helplessness, and gently took hold of my small hand. "Just let me help you bathe. Luckily, there are three bathrooms in the lab~"

Although I vehemently protested, deep down, I knew Momoko was right, so I reluctantly agreed. "Alright... but don't do anything weird!" There was a hint of resignation in my tone, along with a subtle sense of anticipation. Though I felt embarrassed, I also sensed a bit of warmth in my heart.

When Kagami heard the suggestion of "bathing together," his face turned red all the way to his ears, and he waved his hands frantically. "No way, no way! That's too awkward! I can do it myself!" Even though he had turned into a two-year-old baby, he still didn't want to lose his masculinity.

Miyako smiled softly, looking at him gently. "You're so small right now that you can't even reach the showerhead, let alone bathe yourself properly. Besides, we already bathed together at the hot springs last time, so there's no need to be shy~" She reassured him in a soft voice, "I'll take good care of you~"

Kagami's mouth twitched slightly, and the blush on his face deepened, but he knew he had no choice. He sighed lightly. "Alright... you win." Although he outwardly showed resistance, he understood that Miyako's thoughtful care made him feel a sense of being cherished.

Shigeru frowned and sternly said, "Absolutely not! I can bathe myself; I don't need your help!" His pride wouldn't allow him to accept such intimate care, even though he now had to live like a baby.

Kaoru looked at Shigeru seriously, refusing to back down. "You're so small now, how could you possibly bathe on your own? Just listen and let me take care of you." Her tone was firm, leaving no room for rejection.

In the end, Shigeru lowered his head, his voice slightly sulky. "Alright, I get it. Thank you, Kaoru."

Although we still felt some dissatisfaction, the three of us ultimately accepted the girls' care. At this moment, our pride was defeated by the reality of our needs, and we decided to temporarily set aside our stubbornness and bathe together with the girls.

In the bathroom, I was surrounded by warm water, my heart filled with shyness. Momoko bent down, fully focused on preparing to bathe me. Her movements were careful, but every time her fingers touched me, I felt a wave of indescribable embarrassment. I closed my eyes, trying hard not to look at her graceful figure, but the feeling of shyness still surged like a tide.

Momoko's fingers moved through the water, playing with the sponge, and each touch was incredibly delicate. Her focused expression made me feel a bit uneasy, but more than that, I was captivated by her gentle touch. As her fingers slid across my back, the light pressure felt very comforting, yet it also brought an undeniable sense of embarrassment.

"Yuzuhiko, relax a bit. I'll be careful." However, each time her fingers made contact with my body, I couldn't help but tremble. Especially when her fingers neared my chest, my cheeks involuntarily turned bright red.

I tried to conceal my shyness, but the gentle touch of Momoko's fingers lingering on my body made my heart race with every warm sensation. One of her hands lightly rested on my chest; her touch made me feel a bit uncomfortable, yet there was an irresistible sense of comfort as well.

"Momoko, this is a little embarrassing..." I whispered, trying to hide the shyness in my heart.

Momoko smiled as she looked at me, her fingers continuing to wander across my skin, bringing a peculiar sensation. Her gentle touch seemed to leave traces on my skin.

I tried to control myself, but I still couldn't completely overcome the embarrassment I felt, especially in this situation where we were both so exposed... The feeling of shyness continued to rise within me.

In another bathroom, Kagami and Miyako were also caught in a moment of unspeakable embarrassment. Miyako originally intended to simply help Kagami bathe, but she didn't expect Kagami to be so nervous because of her proximity. Miyako gently held Kagami and placed him in the water, but since they were facing each other naked, Kagami's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and his face became even more flushed.

Miyako focused on gently wiping Kagami's back with her fingers, her tender movements making him feel somewhat relaxed, but he still couldn't bring himself to look at her. He tried to focus his attention elsewhere, but accidents always happen when you least expect them.

When Miyako's body accidentally slipped in front of him, she instinctively hugged Kagami close to her chest. In that instant, Kagami was pressed tightly against Miyako's chest, the warm sensation making his entire body stiffen.

Kagami's heart pounded like thunder in his chest, and in the moment Miyako didn't notice, Kagami's nose suddenly started bleeding. The red liquid instantly stained the bathwater.

Miyako was startled by the sudden nosebleed and exclaimed, "Kagami, you're bleeding! Did you get hurt during the fight this afternoon?" Her voice was filled with concern, and she unconsciously tightened her embrace around Kagami, trying to calm him down.

Kagami, already nervous because of Miyako's reaction, had his face turn from flushed red to pale. He tried to break free, but Miyako held him tightly, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

At this point, I heard Miyako's exclamation from the neighboring bathroom, and I couldn't help but sigh, imagining the scene of Kagami's nosebleed. I muttered under my breath, "I really wonder if Kagami will make it out of the bathroom alive."

In the bathroom, Miyako still wore a look of concern as she kept searching for the source of Kagami's nosebleed. Meanwhile, Kagami could only stay stiffly in her arms, the blush on his face no longer able to fade. He had only one thought in his mind: Today's embarrassment would likely be etched in his memory forever, impossible to forget.

"The Third Bathroom"

Although Shigeru was usually stoic, he couldn't hide the shyness he felt in front of Kaoru at this moment. Kaoru gently moved the sponge in the water, tenderly washing Shigeru's body. Despite his reluctance, Shigeru couldn't resist the meticulous care Kaoru was giving him.

"Shigeru, don't be so tense. I'll be very careful," Kaoru said softly, trying to help him relax. However, Shigeru's expression remained stiff, and he struggled not to look at Kaoru. Yet, every time her fingers brushed against his skin, his heart would involuntarily race.

Kaoru gently wiped Shigeru's chest, her movements particularly delicate, as if afraid of hurting him. Shigeru kept his eyes tightly shut, a blush spreading across his face as the shyness inside him became overwhelming. He tried to hide his nervousness, but every touch from Kaoru only made him feel increasingly awkward.

Kaoru noticed Shigeru's reaction and smiled slightly, continuing to bathe him with gentle care. Though Kaoru's tenderness gradually melted away Shigeru's anxiety, the lingering sense of embarrassment remained, making it difficult for him to maintain his usual composure in front of her.

After enduring the stimulating bath time, the girls were still not reassured and refused to let us sleep alone!

I sat on the soft bed as Momoko busily prepared beside me. Her movements were full of care and tenderness, which made my internal resistance seem to diminish slightly. As Momoko gently patted my back and hummed a lullaby, she suddenly stopped and asked softly:

"Yuzuhiko, I have a question I've been wanting to ask you. Even though you've become a two-year-old baby now, with so little strength, why did you still dare to provoke Princess Morbucks and Sedusa, and even risk everything to save me?"

I was silent for a moment, contemplating how to answer her question. Eventually, I decided to explain in a way she could understand.

"Momoko," I responded quietly, turning to look into her eyes, "If you were happily preparing to eat a bento and then saw me starving and lying by the roadside, what would you do?"

Momoko answered without hesitation, almost immediately saying, "Of course, I'd give you the entire bento to eat. There's no doubt about it!"

I smiled and softly replied, "What I did is just the same thing."

A look of surprise and touched emotion flashed across Momoko's eyes, as if she hadn't expected such a response from me. She lowered her head again, gently holding me as if pondering my words.

"Yuzuhiko…" Her voice was gentle and filled with emotion. I didn't say anything further but simply closed my eyes slightly, enjoying her warmth and comfort. Although my body had become that of a two-year-old, the depth of care and protection I felt for each other had only grown stronger.

We both knew that no matter the circumstances, we would go to great lengths for one another. This feeling couldn't be fully expressed in words, but it existed deeply in our hearts like a warm force, supporting us through any difficulties.

With Momoko's gentle caresses and soothing song, I felt a profound sense of peace, and my doubts and anxieties gradually faded away. Though my appearance was that of a baby, I was still Yuzuhiko, willing to give everything for her. And she remained Momoko, who would unhesitatingly share her bento.

She softly sang the lullaby, and her voice, filled with soothing warmth, gave me an unprecedented sense of stability. I tried to close my eyes and relax in her care. Momoko's fingers gently combed through my hair, each touch as warm as maternal love, making me feel deeply cherished.

In the second bedroom, Miyako sat at the edge of the bed while Kagami lay quietly on it. Miyako's gaze was filled with concern as she carefully held Kagami in her arms, causing Kagami's cheeks to flush red.

Kagami's face showed a hint of shyness, and his eyes revealed an internal struggle. "I… I really feel embarrassed being treated like a baby by you."

Miyako gently stroked Kagami's hair, her face showing a worried expression. She softly asked, "Kagami, why were you so brave in facing Fuzzy Lumpkins? Aren't you afraid?"

Kagami smiled slightly, his eyes shining with determination. He looked up at Miyako and spoke with a soft but resolute tone, "Miyako, do you know how weak I used to be? I used to be terrified of the smallest things, even trembling in the dark. But now, I'm different. I have important things I want to protect."

Miyako's face brightened with a smile as she heard this. She gently squeezed Kagami's little hand and continued, "But your strength isn't as great as before. Why do you still push yourself so hard?"

Kagami blinked, thought for a moment, and then smiled as he asked back, "Miyako, if Octi were about to fall off a cliff, what would you do?"

Miyako, hearing about her beloved purple octopus doll, was momentarily stunned, then answered, "I'd immediately run over to save it! I can't let Octi fall!"

Kagami nodded, smiling as he continued, "For you, Octi is an important doll, right? But to me, you are much more important than Octi. So, no matter how weak I am, I'm willing to face any danger to protect you. Even if I have no strength, I don't want to see you hurt or scared. Just as I feel safe and warm beside you, I want to make you feel the same way."

Miyako was moved by Kagami's sincerity and innocence, gently patting his head as she whispered, "Kagami, you really are special to me…"

Kagami's face flushed, feeling a deep warmth but also a bit embarrassed, and his nose started to bleed again. Miyako laughed, gently wiping it away, "You're such a silly little guy. Don't try to be strong; just get some good rest."

Miyako gently embraced Kagami and softly hummed a lullaby. Her voice was tender and comforting, and Kagami felt an unprecedented sense of security in her arms. Miyako's embrace and soothing whispers gave Kagami a warm and intimate feeling of maternal love, making him feel very comfortable. Though he still had some anxiety inside, this caring warmth helped him gradually let go of his resistance.

In the third bedroom, Kaoru sat on the edge of the bed while Shigeru lay half-reclining on it, his face flushed with embarrassment. Kaoru, known for her strong personality and masculine traits, also showed surprising gentleness and care.

Kaoru smiled and said, "Don't be shy. I've taken care of Shou like this before. I have plenty of experience taking care of younger siblings." Her tone was filled with undeniable confidence, as if these were her well-practiced skills.

Shigeru couldn't help but lower his head, his blush deepening. "I... I just feel so embarrassed being treated like a baby."

Kaoru gently held Shigeru in her arms, her expression shifting to one of concern and a hint of reproach. She looked down at Shigeru, now a two-year-old baby, and couldn't help but furrow her brows. "I need to ask you something, Shigeru! How could you be so reckless? You were only a two-year-old baby at the time. Why did you provoke the Gangreen Gang? Do you know how dangerous that was?"

Shigeru felt Kaoru's concern in her embrace, but he knew he needed to make her understand his thoughts. He lifted his head, his voice still childlike but his gaze filled with determination. "Kaoru, if you saw a shivering kitten lying alone in the snow during winter, and you had a warm scarf in your hand, what would you do?"

Kaoru was momentarily stunned, then replied, "Of course, I'd immediately give the scarf to the kitten to keep it warm. Otherwise, it might freeze to death!"

Shigeru smiled slightly and nodded. "That's exactly it, Kaoru. You would help that kitten without hesitation because it needs you. And to me, you are a thousand times more important than that kitten."

Kaoru's heart softened upon hearing Shigeru's analogy. Her previous reproach turned into deep emotion and affection. She held Shigeru tightly and said gently, "Shigeru, you're really too foolish. But I understand your feelings, and I received them." She gently stroked Shigeru's hair and comforted him in a soft voice, "But remember, don't take such risks next time, okay?"

Shigeru nodded. Although his face remained red, he felt a warmth he had never experienced before. Being held by Kaoru, he suddenly felt that even being a two-year-old child wasn't so bad. At least at this moment, he felt a kind of comfort he had never known.

The Next Morning at Eight O'Clock

When I slowly woke up, I suddenly realized that I had returned to my original body size. The baby clothes had completely ripped apart, leaving me almost naked on the bed. I tried to carefully stand up, but accidentally bumped into Momoko, who was sleeping next to me, covered by only a thin blanket.

Momoko's reaction was quicker than mine. She jumped up in alarm, her face turning bright red. "Ah! Pervert!" Her voice pierced through the room, making me feel extremely embarrassed. Her reaction was so intense that she kicked me off the bed, causing me to crash heavily onto the floor.

"That hurts!" I shouted in pain, trying to get up again, but her screaming and anger made it impossible for me to calm down. Momoko quickly grabbed some clothes to cover up our embarrassing state and loudly scolded me. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato, and her flustered state made the whole situation even more comical.

In the next room, Shigeru finally woke up. His baby clothes had also torn apart, leaving him nearly naked on the bed. He struggled to get up but felt quite uncomfortable. As he tried to sit up, Kaoru had already woken up. Seeing Shigeru's state, her cheeks instantly turned as red as fire.

"Shigeru!" Kaoru exclaimed in panic, her eyes wide with a mix of surprise and confusion. Her reaction was swift and intense, and without hesitation, she swung her fist at Shigeru. The punch landed squarely on Shigeru's face.

"Ah!" Shigeru cried out in pain, feeling a sharp pain and shock. He covered his cheek, unable to believe he was struck in such a situation. "It hurts, why did you hit me!"

Kaoru's cheeks were as red as a ripe apple. She turned her head, trying to hide her embarrassment and anxiety. She attempted to calm down, her tone filled with urgency and reproach. "Put on some clothes, idiot!"

In the third bedroom, Kagami woke up in surprise to find he had returned to his original body size. His baby clothes had ripped apart, leaving him nearly naked on the bed.

Kagami quickly scanned the room and noticed Miyako was also nearby, making the situation even more awkward.

Miyako was still asleep, but when she sensed Kagami's movement, she opened her eyes. Seeing Kagami in his naked state, her cheeks instantly turned red.

In her panic, Miyako quickly sat up but accidentally slipped, causing her to fall towards Kagami and hug him.

"Ah!" Miyako exclaimed, her body sliding toward Kagami, making direct contact with him. Her face was flushed with embarrassment, and her eyes were filled with panic and confusion.

She held onto Kagami tightly, clearly stunned by the sudden situation.

Kagami's face also started to turn red as he tried to push Miyako away, but Miyako seemed completely unaware of his discomfort. "Miyako, don't… don't do this!" Kagami awkwardly shouted.

"I'm sorry…!" Miyako immediately let go, and Kagami quickly covered himself with a blanket and found some clothes to put on, ending the shocking incident.

After we six had changed into our clothes, we gathered in the dining room for breakfast. At that moment, Professor Utonium, Ken, and Peach walked into the room.

Professor Utonium looked at the three of us with great concern. "Are you all alright? Do you feel anything different?"

I yawned and replied slowly, "We should be fine now. Please, don't add chemicals to food again next time!" My voice carried a hint of helplessness but also a touch of teasing.

Ken lowered his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Sorry! The experiment really did catch us off guard. We'll review and improve our methods."

Shigeru sighed, clearly still shaken by the experience. "I don't want to go through this again!"

Kagami chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "Haha, although this experience was quite strange, we made it through. It's definitely a memorable experience."

As we gathered around to eat breakfast, the atmosphere began to relax. Momoko sat at the table, her face still flushed but smiling as she said, "Although this was awkward, getting through it together is an experience in itself." She began to enjoy the breakfast, looking somewhat more at ease.

Miyako sat next to Kagami, her face showing a shy smile as she softly said, "Kagami, I'm still feeling embarrassed about hugging you earlier."

Kagami smiled and gently responded, "It's alright, Miyako~~"

Kaoru joined in on the conversation from the side, her voice soft but with a touch of apology. "I'm sorry, Shigeru. My reaction was indeed a bit excessive. But now that everyone is alright, it's a good outcome."

Shigeru smiled, his face still a bit red but his tone much more relaxed. "It's okay, Kaoru. I know you just overreacted."

Professor Utonium also apologized again. "I apologize once more for the incident. We'll learn from this and make sure it doesn't happen again in the future."

In the midst of our conversation and laughter, we began to reflect on the experience.

Although we had encountered many awkward and troubling situations due to shrinking, the time spent together made us feel more deeply about each other's care and concern. Despite the awkwardness and chaos of the experience, it also helped us cherish our relationships more and be grateful for each other's companionship.
