To help Xiao Ran stands pale, Nekone comes up with the idea of ​​making the ice cream alternative that Princess Lou Lan wants from broken ice, but this requires ingredients.

By chance, Michi was watching the incident. Nekoneko comes to find food with a smile, and although she has a bad feeling at his expression, Nekoneko says that she can’t replace her back and stomach, and asks, “Can you lend me the kitchen and ingredients?” As expected, the patient was given a certain condition, but they ended up being able to cooperate.

Thanks to Miyoshi, Nekoneko made ice cream using the ingredients they had. She had her deliver this to Princess Lou Lan and was safely eliminated.

When obtaining cooperation, the condition given by Michiji was to “put the garland that was handed over at the garden party.” On social media, comments such as, “Mitsuji-sama wants Nekoneko to wear a kanji, it’s a bit unfortunate,” “I’m glad that there was an excuse to make Nekoneko wear a kanji lol,” and “It’s so cute that Nekoneko is suspicious that she sold a kanji lol.”

When Nekoneko put on the garment, Michi had also decided to reveal his true identity, and comments such as, “Will I finally tell you?” and “Can I say it properly this time?!”
