<Previously on the story>
Donut Trumpet has only one wish: to be king.
After stuffing down 101 hamburgers, the boy nearly died.
When he woke, he was punched once again by the girl he hates most in the world—Lib!
And tonight, once again, his father drags him back to Pakdonald's!
Burgers and time-leaps are the steps that carry Donut up to the throne!
....................................................
As soon as I stepped inside, the greasy, meaty stench unique to Pakdonald's hit me like a curse.
Yesterday, I couldn't get enough of that smell.
Now it made me want to puke.
What the hell was this spice that clung to my stomach like a hex?
Were they dumping some kind of magic powder in there?
"One Coke."
My voice came out barely audible.
Manager Pakdonald, his clownish face twisted in confusion, raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong, Donut? You usually go for the Big Pack set."
"Just the Coke."
The stench wafting out from behind the counter was unbearable.
I turned away quickly—only to crash head-on into a man carrying a tray.
The paper cup flew up into the air.
That trajectory—I'd seen it before.
My body moved before I could think.
The cup traced a perfect arc and landed neatly in my hand.
"...What the hell?"
I stared at the cup in disbelief.
Yesterday it had spun through the air in the exact same way.
Could that kind of coincidence even happen?
"Mind giving me back my Coke?"
I looked up.
A shabby guy stood there, wearing the same ridiculous giant-squid patterned shirt.
"You're still wearing that lame shirt?"
"Uh... do I know you?"
"You forgot already? Yesterday you splashed Coke all over me."
I froze and really looked at him.
Did I seriously run into this squid-shirt guy yesterday?
And now today, the exact same thing happened—
the same collision, the same Coke flying through the air.
Only this time, he had no memory of it at all.
I glanced down at my own shirt.
It was the same one I'd worn yesterday.
But there wasn't a single Coke stain on it.
No way—
I turned back to the counter.
"One Big Pack! Just one!"
