Almond opened his eyes after seven hours.
Looking around, he wasn't the first to wake up.
His eyes flickered, and he saw Ainen high up, floating while facing a large cauldron made of exotic blue, cloudy flames. Inside were finely cut ingredients alongside orange liquid mixed with spices, bubbling and sparkling.
Lily woke up next to him and also looked up.
Ainen grinned at the duo. "Good morning. Just preparing our ultimate buff for our S-rank game. We'll meet our match there, considering how the last three A-rank games went."
"Yep." Almond got up and stretched his neck and arms. "It's time for us to do shopping as well."
"Let's get freshened up in our room's bathroom." Lily appeared behind him, her arms wrapping around his waist. "It's pretty big and a genius design, specifically made for a certain activity."
Almond laughed.
Darkness swallowed them both as they vanished.
"Yawn~" Gopu opened his eyes, yawned, and went back to sleep.
