One hour later, Sayuri was still listening to the wall. She couldn't sleep at all. Someone next door was playing a fighting game, and it was quite noisy.
Sigh. Sayuri sat up, turned on the TV, and, bored, decided to play some games too. Eriri failed in who knows which game. Sayuri also lost to the AI at the same time; the AI was very strong.
The next morning, Sayuri, who hadn't slept all night, silently washed the soaked bedsheets and nightgown. Finally, she mustered the courage to knock on Ren's door. The door opened. It was Ren, bare-chested, with water stains in his hair. He had just finished showering. Sayuri looked at his muscular physique, then with difficulty averted her gaze, took a deep breath, and tentatively asked, "Ren-kun, have you seen Eriri? I saw she wasn't home early this morning."
"…" Ren glanced at the bedroom. After a moment of thought, he said, "Aunt Sayuri, Eriri has been under too much stress these past few days, and she wanted me to help her relieve it. She just fell asleep now, so she probably won't be able to go to school today." He was telling the truth. Eriri had also accumulated a lot of stress during this period. This was also why she could play fighting games for so long.
"…" Sayuri's eye twitched. What kind of stress relief makes someone unable to get out of bed for a whole day!!! She screamed internally. But on the surface, she still smiled and agreed, "Indeed, then I'll trouble Ren-kun to take good care of her."
Ren nodded: "Don't worry, I've also taken a leave of absence."
Sayuri walked away with a wobbly gait.
Ren returned to the room. After hanging the washed bedsheets and nightgown to dry, he then returned to the room.
"No…" Eriri was still mumbling in her sleep.
"…" Ren couldn't help but smile wryly. He had indeed gone too far. But in reality, Eriri had asked for it herself. She was very formidable.
He opened his arm, letting Eriri rest her head on his arm. Who would have thought this girl would skillfully snuggle up to him and clamp his leg with her legs.

Feeling the urge to play games again, Ren quickly opened the Chat Group to distract himself. Something seemed to have happened in the group.
March 7th: "Wow!! The Anti-matter Legion has invaded the Black Tower Space Station!"
Shinobu Kocho: "What is the Anti-matter Legion?"
March 7th: "They're just a bunch of monsters, damn it, I have to go fight, let them see how formidable I am!"
Ren: "The Black Tower Space Station has been invaded?"
Saeko Busujima: "March 7th said so."
Ren was about to ask something else when Doom Companion appeared.
