“Hello?
Brother Yang, it’s Kather.
Something urgent came up at home, so I’m asking for a half-month leave.
I’ve sent over the supporting documents, so please remember to approve it for me.” Kather finally felt clear-headed after his sleep.
He realized he needed to take a long leave of absence to properly introduce Denia to the knowledge of this world, and also to stock up on her daily necessities here.
Otherwise, with his heavy course load at school, it would probably be very difficult to find extra time later to help this girl integrate into this world.
The person he had just spoken to was his counselor, nicknamed Brother Yang.
There was no other reason than that he was polite and friendly, treating his students like brothers.
Although he was nearly forty, he was still a very energetic “big boy.” After getting the approval, Kather thanked him repeatedly and hung up, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
To be honest, he didn’t like to lie because it would lower his credibility, but if he were to say, “Ah, my 2D waifu turned into a real person and I need to take care of her,” he would probably be sent to a mental hospital in a heartbeat.
Fortunately, the result was good.
At least he would be free for the next period of time.
He would use this time to gradually teach Denia about modern society.
Kather tidied up his appearance a bit and walked out of his room.
As soon as he reached the living room, he saw Denia sleeping face down on the sofa.
Next to her, a history documentary channel was playing, currently talking about the early Republican era.
Educational programs were indeed great for sleep, just like how high school teachers’ lectures made people drowsy.
Sometimes they were even more effective than white noise, so it wasn’t surprising that Denia had fallen fast asleep.
His original plans were put on hold for now, but Kather was in no hurry.
It wouldn’t be too late to discuss everything once Denia woke up.
Kather quietly sat down on the other side of the sofa, then pulled out his phone and started browsing Bilibili.
Before long, Denia’s relaxed brow furrowed slightly, and she slowly woke up.
As soon as she sat up from the sofa, she felt her neck stiff and a bit sore, causing her face to completely slump.
“Did I wake you?” Noticing that Denia’s face didn’t look too good upon waking, Kather asked with concern.
“My neck is uncomfortable and stiff,” Denia said, twisting her neck left and right in an attempt to relieve the stiffness.
“Should I massage it for you?” “Okay.” With that, Denia obediently turned around, exposing her swan-like, fair, and slender neck to Kather.
Kather:?
(That’s not how you play Gala’s wuthering waves!!!.jpg) Kather could swear to heaven that he had really just asked tentatively.
But he hadn’t expected her to agree so readily?!
I mean, sister, standing in front of you is a healthy, young, and completely unrelated otaku.
Do you know how much damage this does to a boy who has never touched any female other than his mother?!
Aren’t you supposed to pull a face, reject me, say “Hentai, shine!”, and slap me?!
What kind of development is this?!
“Hurry up, my neck is really sore right now…” Denia’s voice was listless; she indeed sounded quite troubled.
“Oh, okay.” Snapping out of his chaotic thoughts, Kather began to help Denia solve her problem.
His massage technique wasn’t very skilled.
His few experiences of massaging others were for his mother.
During that time, his mother always worked late, so he would knead her shoulders and pat her back, thinking it would help her sleep more comfortably at night.
Kather’s massage took effect quickly.
Denia instantly felt that her shoulders weren’t as sore as before, and she even felt like she could sleep a bit longer.
“Don’t fall back asleep, you little lazybones.
We agreed that we’re going out in a bit,” Kather reminded her, seeing her lazy demeanor.
“Can we not go out…” “Then what about your clothes?
You probably won’t be able to return to the academy anytime soon, and I don’t have any clothes that fit you at home.” “The academy…” A look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes.
That was a place she wanted to return to but could never go back to.
At the same time, she was also reasonably sure that the somewhat ordinary boy in front of her was indeed the Rover himself.
Although she didn’t know why she had been mysteriously transported to this world, as long as he was here, she didn’t need to worry about any problems.
It’s just…
Denia suddenly sighed for no reason.
“Thinking about Sigrika?” Kather read her mind as if he could read thoughts.
“Yeah.
That idiot Siggy, if she found out her best friend suddenly left without saying goodbye, she’d definitely be very sad,” Denia said lazily.
But it was fine, she had already sent what she wanted to say to her via email…
“There will always be a chance to meet again.
Maybe you’ll even meet again in this world, who knows?” Kather smiled gently.
“True, we will meet again eventually.” Under Kather’s comfort, the slight melancholy in Denia’s heart dissolved.
“But we’ve been talking for so long, isn’t it time you told me your name?” Denia suddenly looked up, her dreamlike, starlit eyes meeting Kather’s deep black ones.
“Although I know you are that all-powerful Rover, whether it’s Rover or the name you told me before, they both sound like codenames.” Denia’s voice was soft.
“You must have your own name in this world, right?
Tell me?” “You only thought to ask now?” Kather laughed.
“I only thought to ask now.” “My name is Kather.
If you think calling me Kather is too formal, you can also call me by my childhood nickname, Xiao Yu,” Kather told Denia his name.
“I’ll just call you Ling then.” Denia chose a relatively close but not overly intimate form of address.
“Whatever you prefer is fine.” Kather had no objection.
“Then, Ling, can we not go out today, please?” Denia tried to act cute to get her way.
“I refuse.” Kather flicked her forehead with his index finger.
Denia let out a whimpering “Ow!” and immediately distanced herself from Kather, clutching her forehead with a wronged expression.
“That really hurt…” Her eyes welled with tears, looking truly pitiable.
“I know you really don’t want to go out, but a beautiful girl can’t just not take a shower, right?” Kather teased.
“Or are you planning to…” Kather sized up Denia’s figure.
Although she was on the petite side, she was still quite curvaceous.
“Then let’s go!” How could Denia not know what he was thinking?
She immediately covered herself and backed away a bit further.
“Alright, then it’s settled.” Kather snapped his fingers.
“It’s also a good chance to show you around this world.”
