Knowing that Ai is hugging a severed monster head to sleep, Chris stood up and walked towards Pinky and tried to take away the severed monster. However, Ai who is sound asleep doesn't seem to be willing to let go of the severed head and hugged the head even tighter.
"Ah... Seriously? Why would a girl like her hug a bloody head to sleep? Just where the heck did she learned this weird fetish from?" said Chris, in a disbelief tone.
Ben glimpsed at Chris and smiled without saying anything.
Then, in order to get rid of the severe head from Ai, Chris took out a round cat plushie he got during the tournament and slowly replaced the head with the plushie...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Pinky gets the girls to their own bedroom, Maria seated with Chris and Ben and told them everything that happened in the botanical garden. Including how Ai found the severe head rather charming and insisted to keep it.
"A Hua Pi Yao in Kapis Dimension. Hmm... This is unusual. But seriously, this is really one fine-looking Hua Pi Yao, no wonder Ai is so fond of it." said Chris as he observed the severed head in detail.
"Is that the reason you exchange that first prize cat plushie with this head?" Ben asked, sounds a bit sarcastic.
"Hmm... Maybe I should make it into a specimen or dissect it." said Chris, obviously ignoring Ben.
"But this Hua Pi Yao is not my main concern. After Ai slaughtered this Hua Pi and all of its doppelganger, we were sneak attacked by some vines and carnivorous plants. Which makes me can't help but wondered if this Hau Pi really is the mastermind behind the massacre of those young ladies? If so then who is the one that controlled all those plants?" said Maria, rather concerned about this incident.
"Mmm... Your concern is valid. Tsk... Why do all these things have to happen in Kapis? I am just here for the dragon egg." said Chris, still insisting his main priority was the dragon egg despite the battle arena tournament has long passed.
"Ah... Now you mentioned that dragon egg, when are you going to incubate it? You can't be planning to leave it in your closet just like that huh?" Ben asked, rather troubled with Chris's attitude towards that precious dragon egg.
"Haha, don't worry about that. The Kingdom's people will come here tomorrow to get that young mafia boss and his underling back to Kingdom's custody. They will be taking back the egg with them as well, with the special incubator they have, it shouldn't be a problem. If we are going to incubate it by ourselves, it would take forever." said Chris.
"I see. I almost thought you already forgot about that egg. I guess I have been worrying too much." said Ben.
Chris laughed out a bit as he heard Ben's response, while Maria is in relief that Chris and Ben didn't blame him too much for sneaking out late at night...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning. Everyone is having their breakfast in the cafeteria except for Sky and Junior who are still in the infirmary. Jason is as busy as always in the kitchen with Ruby's help, where Ruby's efficiency in doing chores had increased at a visible rate where she actually gets praised by Chris for perfectly pouring a cup of tea without dripping out a single drop.
"Hmm? Hey, Ben, are you the one that taught her how to properly pour a cup of tea? Her posture is quite similar to yours." said Chris.
"Yes, after teaching her all the basic self-caring, I decided to adjust her way of pouring drinks after witnessing how shaky she is when handling a huge teapot yesterday. Unlike some maniacal pervert who didn't even teach her anything about self-caring while expecting her to be able to handle such a heavy and huge teapot." Ben dissed as he glimpsed at Jason who had just walked out from the kitchen.
"Ah... I see. You are a good teacher, aren't you?" said Chris, slightly teasing.
"Well, to be more exact, she is a fast learner. Seriously, if you are going to praise her, just praise her in a more direct way." said Ben as stared at Chris for a while before continuing with his breakfast...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After they had their breakfast, the visitors had arrived, it was our old friends, Dark Prince and Sal.
Before they took over the captive and head back to the Kingdom, they have a small discussion with Chris and the others regarding all the unexpected events that happened recently.
"First is regarding the midget Dr. Ben sent to his personal lab. We first apologize that we had done some small experiments on him without Dr. Ben's permission. But through that small experiment, we found out that there's a tiny bit of angel's DNA in him but too bad we haven't found out the reason he turned into a midget." said Dark Prince as he took out a detailed report and handed it to Ben who doesn't look very happy about it.
"Let me guess, by 'we' you mean that research team under Sachiro's Raven division, huh? Seriously, that Sachi boy is too loose on his underlings that they now became a gang of ruthless and undisciplined brats." said Chris as he frowned.
"Well, Sachi-chan is too inexperienced in this matter, Terrence-chan, you and Shiro-chan really should help him a bit." said Maria.
"Got it. I will pay more attention to him and his division." said Dark Prince as he nodded.

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
