I went back into Amanda's residence and saw Tiara standing, talking to Amanda, with her hair still looking wet. When Rifai and I moved things, Tiara took a bath in this residence, as did my Amanda and Imouto. And, Rifai and I have not taken a bath, even our body smells smell so bad and we can smell it.
"Oy, you haven't showered, have you?" I said while covering my nose to Rifai who was walking beside me.
Feeling what I said was right, Rifai kissed him all over, then said, "I don't smell that much."
"Then where did the smell come from?"
Rifai approached me and sniffed, then said, "You're the one who hasn't showered."
"No, it must be you. I smell good all the time. It must be you, you who haven't showered."
After this conversation, we finally found the source of the smell. The source of the smell came from Zahra whose clothes were covered with food stains.
"All of you, I've made another cake. Do you want to?"
"Uh..." Not only was I surprised to hear his words suddenly heard but even we throughout the living room were also shocked to hear it.
Feeling that her onee-chan was making another cake, Amanda immediately approached her onee-chan and spoke to her.
"Nee-chan, I have said so many times, you don't make a cake that no one will eat. If you continue like this, Mom's ingredients will run out. So, stop!"
Zahra just nodded, but that didn't make Amanda sure that she was following what she said.
"Nee-chan, you are..."
When Tiara was alone there, near the sofa, I looked up at her. But for a moment, she also looked at me, and it made us stare at each other. Tiara slightly looked away, then walked over to me.
After arriving in front of me, Tiara said, "Daylon..."
"You want to go home, right? Why not stay overnight? It's already 9 nights, it's better to just stay here."
"Tomorrow, I still have to take care of my company again, so I can't stay overnight and have to go home now."
"Oh, I see."
"Yes."
After that, we didn't hold the conversation for a few seconds.
Feeling that I have something to say to her, I will try to talk to her outside, just the two of you.
"Shall we go out for a bit? Do you still have time?"
"Okay."
I turned to Rifai who was near Dinda and said, "I'll go for a while, please don't cause trouble here."
"Which is possible, stupid."
After Rifai said that, I walked and Tiara followed me from behind.
It's been a long time since I walked with him, maybe since the last time we party together to help him complete the quest.
Usually, when they are not together, I will accompany one of them, be it Tiara or Bagas. For Joko, Elvina, Kahfi, and Helena, they were usually with each other; Joko and Elvina, Kahfi with Helena. So, if I accompany them, there will be 3 people in the party, different from Tiara and Bagas.
If I have free time, I'll be with them. So, this is why sometimes I even become their confidant. It's annoying.
After a can of coffee and canned hot chocolate milk fell in the vending machine, I took it and gave Tiara canned hot chocolate milk.
"For me?" she asked.
"Yes, take it."
Tiara took it and said, "Thank you."
After opening the lid, Tiara and I went back to walking in the bright moonlight and stars. We only walked in the boarding house area, so mostly there were only houses.
I looked up, right at the full moon, and said, "Tonight, it looks like I'll turn into a werewolf."
"What are you talking about, Daylon, how cute." Tiara smiled a little.
"Hehehe."
After chatting for a while, we continued walking without a single chat.
Feeling awkward, suddenly Tiara was the one who opened the first chat.
"Hey, Daylon."
"Why?"
"Finally, you can play again huh."
"Ah, yes, this is all thanks to you, Tiara. Thank you."
"No, it's nothing."
"Why do you say that?"
"Hmm." Tiara shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I just want to do this."
"Oh, I see. But even so, I have to thank you, Tiara. If you didn't buy me gaming kits, I might have given up."
"Desperate why?"
I turned to her face quickly and looked at her and said, "You know, all the plans to get those gaming devices are barely going my way."
"Plan? What plan?"
"Good, you said that. I will explain my plan."
"O-Okay."
"My first plan was to ask my father, and it failed. Second, I asked to replace my request about raising my position, but you just kicked me out."
"Sorry."
"Does not matter. Third, I want to rob a bank."
"Eh?" Tiara was surprised. "W-Why do you want to rob a bank? That's not good, don't do it."
"No, I canceled my intention, even though I had prepared a mask."
"In that case, thank God. I thought you wanted to do it." Tiara suddenly turned to the side and spoke in a low voice, "You really are ridiculous, Daylon."
After Tiara saw me again, I continued, "Fourth, take out that guy's devices."
"That person?"
"Rifai."
"O-Oh..."
"Well, I thought it would work for that fourth plan, but it didn't, even he put up a fight."
"So that's why you were with him at the police station the other day?"
"Yes."
"Hahaha, you guys look really good. So, what's the next plan?"
"Just that much, only four."
"So all your plans failed, huh?"
"No, not completely failing, even success. My second plan was successful, even though suddenly surprising things happened, you revealed my identity."
If without Tiara knowing my identity, maybe something like this wouldn't have happened, I wouldn't have gotten the gaming equipment. If only Tiara didn't reveal my identity, I would be confused again to make a fifth plan, even worse, maybe I would give up on getting the gaming equipment.
"Hehehe."
"So, thank you, thank you for helping me."
"You're welcome, Daylon."
The night really feels like it's just me and Tiara, even I don't feel the presence of any living thing here at all. We walked side by side and close together, even my arm almost hit hers.
Several times I turned to her, to see her face, Tiara always smiled. She also seems happy when we walk together and forget about the conditions that happened to him.
"Daylon..."
"Yes, why, Tiara?"
"Nothing."
It can be seen from the look on Tiara's face, it looks like she wants to reveal something during moments like this, but I know what it is.
"Oh."
I don't know what Tiara wanted to say earlier, I'm sure it was something important, fortunately, so she still hesitated to say it.
Even so, we enjoy moments like this together.
After a walk, when we almost approached the Amanda family house, we both stopped and stared at each other.
"Daylon-"
"Tiara-"
Our words collided with each other, so that one of us had to give in. And the one who gave in was me.
"You go first."
"You do it, Daylon."
Apparently, we mutually gave in to each other.
"No, you do it."
"You do it, Daylon."
Feeling that this is endless, I will speak to him first.
"Tiara, actually-"
"Daylon, I want you to focus on yourself first." Tiara cut me off.
Huh. It was she who spoke.
I put on an expressionless face and said, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, when you just started your new account, you would definitely be leveling tomorrow, right? So, you just focus on that, don't think about work problems."
"But... if I don't work, where will I get money from?"
"Because you are my assistant now, then I employ you at home, you are free from assignments. So, even if you're at home, I still pay you."
"No, but that..."
"It is okay. I'm the boss here, so I have the right to be free to do anything for my employees."
I turned my face to the side and said in a low voice, "Those words sound so sharp."
I don't know whether Tiara said "free to do anything to my employees" spontaneously or did she say it on purpose. The words sounded cruel to my ears.
I looked back at his face and said, "That means, even though I'm at home, you'll still pay me?"
"Yes." Tiara nodded. "It's actually not wearing too much for me, I won't meet you there. But since you also have to focus on leveling up your character to get into Server 0, then that shouldn't be a problem."
What Tiara said was true too. If I don't level up my character quickly, I'll be stuck in Server 2 and won't be able to come back for him and them. If it's like that, it will take a long time to get into Server 0 later, and it's really annoying.
Plus now, I don't know whether the secrets still exist or don't exist. If it's not there, I can only rely on my ability to fight for leveling later. If there is still, I will look for some secrets that will get items that are useful for leveling later. I hope, I hope it's still around.
So, conditions like this, I agree.
"OK, if it's like that. You're so kind, Tiara, I like you."
"Eh?"
"Eh?" I was confused to see Tiara, whose face suddenly turned red at the same time as her shocked self. I don't know if I said the wrong thing to make her that way, or if I hurt her feelings. Because of that, I immediately changed the subject and walked over. "Yeah, haha. Let's go back."
Oh no. Am I hurting him? Again, I did it... I did it again. This is bad.
After a moment of silence, Tiara followed me and walked beside me, and asked, "Hey, you wanted to say something earlier, right?"
"Ah, that… it doesn't matter. So, nothing."
"Hmm..." Tiara looked grumpy.
What I want to say to him is about Rizal. I want Tiara to stay away from that person, even I also want to say that she, Helena, and Kahfi to leave the guild. But since that would make him even more dangerous, so it's better that I don't say it and let Rifai handle it.
Because Tiara continued to grumble while walking, I immediately walked faster than her.
"Hmm... Daylon!" Tiara could only see me from behind and grumbled even more.
"If you don't walk quickly, I'll lock the fence, and it will prevent you from returning home later."
"Yuck, Daylon." Tiara immediately ran towards me.
After this long night of fun ended, I returned to my boarding room after everyone had returned to their respective homes.
And what I'm doing right now is staring at the monitor screen which shows that EOA game downloads are already 15%.
While staring at the monitor screen, I prayed, "Hopefully... I hope the electricity doesn't go out."
