Same day
Game Time AM07:01
Motan logged into The Realm of Innocence, actively switching his personality to ’Chaotic Neutral’ mode just as the server opened. He appeared in the master bedroom of Suite Zero at the Steam Consortium’s [Stars] Hotel and woke Diana A. Achizolti with a gentle good morning kiss. She didn’t ask any questions after he returned last night, instead blushingly snuggling back into his arms.
Motan gently tucked the struggling Grand Astrologist, who wanted to get out of bed but wasn’t very good at waking up early, back under the covers. He put on his glasses and carefully adjusted several magic crystal lamps to a brightness that would gradually make it difficult for someone in bed to keep sleeping. Then he sprinkled a few drops of [Awaken God Dew] into the aroma holder on the wall before quietly leaving the bedroom.
If nothing unexpected happens, Diana should regain her clarity in fifteen to twenty minutes, and in that time, Motan can prepare a breakfast that’s not luxurious but whose quality and quantity are comparable to, if not better than, the high-level buffet on the first floor of [Stars], being even healthier and more refined.
"Morning."
Frank Hughes smiled at the slender girl in the main hall, who seemed not to have slept all night but was still energetic, then put away the empty cup in front of her and cheerfully went to the bar to make a morning drink—a third coffee, a third juice, and a third soda—and softly placed it in front of Double Leaf: "Please enjoy."
"You take a sip first."
Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, the girl, burying her head in a book with her chin propped up, said without lifting her head.
"Uh..."
Motan was taken aback, then awkwardly rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly: "Alright."
He turned around, picked up a straw at the bar, inserted it into the drink that was layered in light brown, orange-red, and emerald green, and gently stirred it twice before discreetly taking a sip.
"How does it taste?"
Double Leaf glanced at him and asked expectantly: "Does it make you want to explode on the spot?"
"I feel like Miss Double Leaf has a huge misunderstanding about my drink concoctions."
Motan helplessly smiled, lightly tapping the drink that was now colorful yet completely clear and aesthetically pleasing: "It tastes pretty good."
"Hmm, hand it over."
Double Leaf lazily nodded and casually added: "No need to change the straw."
Motan’s expression froze instantly: "Eh?"
"Feel like it’s an indirect kiss?"
The girl sneered, waving her hand: "Cut it out, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Just follow along, hand over the drink and go make breakfast."
Motan silently laughed, but ultimately complied with Double Leaf’s instructions, steadily handing over the drink he hadn’t tampered with, then adeptly retrieved ingredients from the thermal magic-patterned refrigerator and walked into the kitchen.
Soon, the pleasant sound of kitchen utensils clashing and the faint aroma of food simultaneously wafted into the living room.
Not long after, the Grand Astrologist, now changed into clothes that looked noble and elegant, sleepily left the room. She casually greeted Double Leaf before yawning repeatedly and entered the kitchen, hugging her lover from behind while he plated food, lazily resting her pretty face against his not-so-broad back, and closing her eyes.
Thus, Frank Hughes called the somewhat reluctant but now hungry Double Leaf into the kitchen to carry plates, himself leading the clingy, unyielding and sleepy low-blood-pressure Grand Astrologist into the washroom to comb her hair and wash her face.
A few minutes later, Diana was finally fully awake after all the commotion and obediently sat at the dining table, quickly devouring the heartwarming breakfast her lover made. Despite Double Leaf also having a share as an ’outsider’, Diana, confidently taking on the elder’s role, didn’t find anything inappropriate. She simply enjoyed the blissful breakfast time.

Game Time AM07:41
After finishing breakfast and drinking a cup of meticulously brewed tea by Frank, Diana reluctantly bid farewell to her lover under the urging of her apprentice, returning to complete the work she must do as a Grand Astrologist and heir to a prominent family, immersing herself in tedious and boring social engagements.
She was really grateful to Double Leaf. If not for this girl accompanying her, those annoying social platitudes might drive her insane, as she constantly worries about Frank.
And just three minutes after they left, Ivy Lehman, who had discreetly booked a room downstairs, promptly knocked on the Suite Zero door, intimately linking arms with a resistant but mostly helpless Frank Hughes, leaving [Stars].

Ivy Lehman handed [Hundred Forms] over to Red Heart Three, who she had previously fooled, at an alley corner in the Central District.
At the same time, Tan Mo, on the twenty-ninth floor of [Academy City’s Comprehensive Library] disconnected unexpectedly, fainting in the empty Forbidden Book Zone corner.

Mor, reconnecting silently, appeared in a tomb on the Xibei Dalu, casually cleaning up some unlucky grave robbers, giving these poor souls a free burial. After a long silence, he opened his friend list.
