Birdsong sounded outside the window.
Luocheng opened his eyes and yawned.
His senses gradually returned.
There was someone beside him.
Long black hair.
Pale skin.
A familiar scent of coffee.
Manhattan Cafe was sleeping there.
Luocheng stared for several seconds.
He had seen similar scenes countless times in the game world.
His body reacted out of habit before his brain caught up.
Then Cafe woke.
The moment she saw him, the memories of the previous night returned.
She had brought her exhausted Trainer back to his room and stayed there.
Now she suddenly realized how compromising the situation looked.
Her face reddened.
Luocheng sat up.
“Cafe…
did I somehow drag you back here last night?”
Cafe hesitated.
“No.”
She quietly explained what had happened.
She had been the one who carried him back.
Luocheng relaxed.
“Oh.”
So he hadn’t dragged her here.
She had dragged him.
That made sense.
“Trainer…
you’re not angry?”
“A little.”
Luocheng adopted a serious expression.
“You should’ve woken me up.
I could’ve helped.”
“…Huh?”
“What a waste.
I slept through the whole thing.”
Cafe stared.
Then her expression softened.
So Trainer didn’t hate having her there.
That was enough.
Luocheng glanced at the clock.
He was still in this world.
He hadn’t gone back.
Good.
Spending too long alone in the game world had already begun to damage his sense of normalcy.
If he stayed there much longer, Luocheng genuinely feared what sort of person he might become.
At that moment—
“Luocheng!”
Chairwoman Akikawa’s voice came from outside.
The doorknob rattled.
The Chairwoman?!
Why was she here?!
Luocheng suddenly remembered that he had work.
He had overslept!
He hurriedly concealed the fact that Cafe was in the room just as the door opened.
Akikawa entered.
“Shocking!
You’re still sleeping?
Do you know what time it is?!”
“Chairwoman.”
Luocheng coughed weakly.
“I don’t feel well.
Dizzy, weak…
I probably caught a chill last night.”
“You’re sick?!”
Akikawa immediately became concerned.
“Do we need a doctor?”
“No.
Rest should be enough.”
She sat beside him.
For several painfully tense minutes, Luocheng tried to act natural while ensuring the hidden Cafe remained unnoticed.
Eventually, Akikawa looked him over.
“Rest today.
I’ll make you some rice porridge.”
“Thank you.”
The Chairwoman headed for the kitchen.
Luocheng quietly exhaled.
This world really was dangerous in entirely unexpected ways.
