Ray put down the fried chicken on the table, and after distributing the chicken for each little guy, he sat down to converse with them.
" So, does something happened when I leave?"
He was the only grown-up male in the orphanage, so when Ray was out, only females and weak children were left in the orphanage. This was also the reason why Ray was always worried about the orphanage. If something were to happen during the time he was out, he would surely regret it.
The little kids happily munch at the chicken Ray gave them, but they still answer Ray's question while munching at the chicken.
" There is nothing significant, I think. But if I'm not wrong, Ed-nii came in the afternoon. He is so different than Ray-nii, Ray-nii always answers us when we asked you to play, but Ed-nii was so cold. He just left the orphanage after he finished talking with big sister."
" *Sigh* It is bad to badmouth others, you know? Okay then, after finishing the chicken, you guys should go to rest. We'll play again tomorrow."
" EHHHH!!!??"
Eventually, Ray was able to appease the little guys even after their protest to play. He wouldn't say it to them, but his body was currently at the limit. The short rest in the dungeon was only like a drop of water in the ocean, and he really needs some rest.
He went into his room on the orphanage and laid down on it. Actually, Ray's age has passed the limits on what should have stayed on the orphanage, but because the orphanage recently bad situation, Ray decided to stay behind and helped the orphanage with the money he got as an awakener.
He had consulted with the orphanage manager or the one usually called the big sister about it, and the big sister was really thankful when Ray decided to stay behind and help the orphanage. She felt a little bit guilty about it, but Ray said just prepare a separate room for him, and he'll treat it as the rent cost of the room.
Thus, Ray's time in the orphanage continued, and he kept using the money he obtained to sustain the orphanage.

- Orphanage, Ray's room in the midnight-
Ray was still sleeping soundly after finally getting some good rest. But then, he could hear the sound of his door opening.
He was about to wake up and surprise the trespasser. However, seeing the trespasser has no ill intention, Ray decided to use the wait and see approach.
The trespasser walked closer to Ray's bed and sat on it. Her hand was on Ray's cheek, and Ray could feel her breath from her face.
" You know, if you keep doing this, I might be falling in love with you."
Hearing these words, Ray knew who the trespasser is. It was the big sis of the orphanage, and only her would do this kind of prank. He was about to wake up and reprimand the big sis to not treat him as a little kid anymore, but before he could..
Ray felt the big-sis body was leaning on him, and she started sleeping.
Well, it seems he was not the only one who was working hard today. Ray looked at the big sis face, straight brown hair, and a delicate face. A beautiful woman that is four or five years older than him.
Two big eye bags could be seen under her eyes, signifying that she had not gotten enough rest during the past few days.
She was the daughter of the previous orphanage manager, and when the previous orphanage manager died, she decided to take over the orphanage. If not for her, Ray might no be the one he currently is right now.
' Edward, huh.. I hope you would not do anything stupid. If not, I will teach you a lesson myself.'
This Edward that Ray thought of was the same Edward that the kids said during their dinner. Edward was a friend of Ray and also an ex-member of the orphanage. He left a few years ago and never came back. So hearing Edward suddenly approached the orphanage, Ray had some bad feelings.
Ray then stopped thinking about Edward and shifted his focus at the sleeping beauty in front of him. Only for today, Ray thought. He held the big sister tight in his embrace, and the two continued their rest until the morning comes.
******
The next day, Ray said goodbye to the big sister early in the morning and went back to his dungeon. They spend the night cuddling with each other, and Ray couldn't keep his face straight when looking at the big sister's face.
' What are you doing Ray, she is your big sister figure. Why are you doing such an embarrassing thing last night.'
It was still fresh in his mind when the two woke up after cuddling each other all night long. Their face was so close that they could feel each other's breath, and Ray's face instantly turned red from embarrassment.
Soon, Ray arrived at the location of his own dungeon.
He looked at the dungeon entrance, and when he took a closer look, it was really invisible on the outside.
If a normal person came to this place, they would certainly not be able to found his dungeon. It seems the one-month protection period from the dungeon system really works their wonder.
Ray entered the dungeon, and inside, the wolf-pup Freed was already waiting for him.
" Aoo!"
" Good morning for you too Freed. So how's your last night's sleep?"
Ray took out the fried chicken that he had heated out this morning for Freed. As Ray's Boss Monster, Ray wanted to teach Freed about the delicacy of good food.
A good meal is a meal that was shared with everyone, Ray thought.
He gave the Fried chicken to Freed after making sure there was no bone left in the fried chicken, and while Freed was busy munching down and eating the chicken, Ray checked out the Dungeon Master System.
