It was a quiet night and Aril was enjoying soaking in a bathtub filled with warm water that he of course heated himself.
"The advantage of an apocalypse situation is that no one will protest if I take some luxuries stuff to enjoy..." said Aril who was completely relaxed in the bathtub.
The young man looked at the sigil on the back of his right hand. "Although I make this situation even worse."
The sound of commotion suddenly rang out and managed to grab Aril's attention.
A commotion was happening right outside the bathroom. And the noise was the voices of Ignoir and Putri.
Aril was curious about what was happening and his curiosity was immediately answered.
The bathroom door opened and startled Aril when the young man saw Ignoir who was only wearing a towel.
"I will rub your body, Master!" said Ignoir who walked towards Aril.
Aril's eyes widened and he stammered. "W... What... What are you trying to do?"
"I told you not to!" said Putri who ran into the bathroom.
Putri stepped on the slippery bathroom floor as she was about to force Ignoir out.
The girl immediately slipped and fell towards Ignoir, but the wolf girl stepped aside and finally Putri fell into the bathtub.
Aril sighed heavily and looked at Ignoir very seriously. "Did I ever tell you to go inside the bathroom?"
Ignoir was immediately frightened and ran outside. "I'm sorry, master!"
"Are you alright, Putri?" said Aril to the girl who was now sharing a bathtub with him.
"S... So... Sorry... I'll be right out," said Putri who felt awkward about the situation.
When Putri was about to stand up, she slipped and ended up falling on Aril.
Both of them were soaked and both of them looked at each other in a wet state.
Aril immediately turned his gaze to the side. "Come out slowly. Don't panic."
Putri's face suddenly turned red and she immediately moved away. "Ah... Yes, hehe..."
She got out of the bathtub carefully and walked towards the door.
While she was at the door, the girl was silent for a few moments.
"Big Brother Aril, thank you," said Putri who was still silent in front of the bathroom door.
"Thank you for what?" asked Aril who was not looking at the her.
"You made a contract with a demon to save me. Thank you."
"I only did what I had to do."
She came out of the bathroom and stood just outside the bathroom.
The girl was silent for a few moments and so was Aril who also silent and looked pensive.
Putri suddenly squatted down while covering her face with both hands and Aril suddenly buried his face into the water.
'I see it!' Aril and Putri shouted in their own minds.
'Because of the wetness and her position above me, I can see her cleavage! She wasn't even wearing a bra!' Aril shouted in his mind.
'When I stood up earlier I accidentally saw his crotch!' shouted Putri in her mind.
'Even though she's still an underage, she's still a girl who has gone through puberty. Of course she's already grown healthy.' Aril thought.
'The bathtub only contains water and no foam, of course it will be visible. It's not my fault!' thought Putri in panicked.
Aril raised his head. 'I'll pretend that I don't know.'
Putri stood up with her face flushed with embarrassment. 'Let's pretend nothing happened.'

Sitting on a bench on the terrace, Reizel pensively recalled the things that happened during his stay in the house.
The wavy-haired man sighed heavily. "Why am I being melancholy like this?"
He felt a warmth that he had not felt for a long time. Even before the chaos.
Even though he was with the system user group in Donggala, he never felt calm.
The environment of the system user group was more like a rivalry organization that could sometimes become an unhealthy competition.
The rules were quite simple.
The strong are the one who decided.
Even though he is only at the level of (Mutant System), he still has many advantages.
He had subordinates who were quite loyal but his superiors and other (mutant system) users felt more like enemies who wanted to see the downfall of other system users.
Reizel began to think that switching sides would not be a bad idea after all.
"Are you going to plan a betrayal?" asked Aril who was standing next to the door.
Reizel sighed heavily and looked at the young man. "I don't expect you to trust me but that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with being constantly suspected like that."
"People who easily change sides cannot be fully trusted."
"I'll try not to bother you."
"Remember Reizel, that bald bastard may be your savior, but right now, I'm the one who spares your life."
"Yes... Yes... That means my life is in your hands."
"I just hope you don't give me a reason to kill you," said Aril who walked into the house.
Reizel sighed heavily once again. "Putri is indeed a goddess, but that boy is too scary."
Reizel leaned back on the long bench he was sitting on. "At least if he could be a little more relaxed, maybe this would be perfect. But I guess I can't blame him."

Inside Putri's dark room, there were two people lying on the bed.
The two of them were Putri and Ignoir. Both of them were wearing pajamas. The wolf girl had fallen asleep already while Putri was still awake.
'Tomorrow... Facing the group of people responsible for mother's death,' thought Putri who was staring at the ceiling while hugging her pillow.
'I do want to avenge my mother's death, but what if they are all very strong people?' Putri hugged her pillow tightly.
'I just wish not to lose another family member again.'
