Elysia guilelessly followed Alec into his room, not feeling like anything was out of place.

On the other hand, Alec was in turmoil inside, and Ye Sha was not of any help at all as he just snickered at the dilemma that his friend was going through.

Alec wanted her to sleep alone, but he also felt as if leaving her on her own meant that she was just going to sneak out for mischief instead.

So, there was only one choice left to him at this very moment.

Though he had forced aside his emotions for Elysia, that didn't mean that it was wise to test his patience.

Even Alec didn't know what would happen if he snapped one day, which just placed him in a bad mood.

Thus, there was only one available option to him right now…

Telling Elysia to stay put for the time being, Alec walked to the room next door.

Ye Sha cottoned on to what his friend was going to do, and he protested instantly. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?! This is your chance to sleep alone with Elysia! Why are you bringing a third wheel into this?!"

Alec ignored his friend and resolutely made his way to the door.

Ye Sha sighed in despair at the stubbornness of his friend. "Don't regret it later."

He could feel that Sekai was already deep asleep, but that didn't matter to him right now.

The door opened without another sound, and Alec took a moment to judge the Sin about his lack of awareness.

How could he not lock the door?!

But he placed aside such concerns. There was no time to waste.

Even when Alec walked up to the Sin's bedside, the Sin still hadn't stirred at all, and Alec felt his contempt for the other's lack of awareness grow.

Some Main Character this was.

Alec shrugged.

Taking one end of the blanket, Alec very slowly and carefully rolled Sekai up inside the blanket, and miraculously, the Sin didn't wake up.

In the end, the transmigrator was turned into a human burrito.

Hauling the human burrito into his arms, that was the moment that Sekai chose to wake up.

"The fuck?!" the transmigrator swore, flailing a little.

But he couldn't do anything in the end because of how securely he was wrapped up, the human caterpillar wriggling in Alec's arms.

Alec snorted, drawing Sekai's ire.

The Main Character started growling and flailing even harder, but Alec slapped a paralysis seal on the blanket.

"I thought I told you not to wake me up! Also, what the hell are you doing?!"

"Oh, we're having a sleepover."

"Haaah?!"

Alec carried the human burrito back to the room, causing Elysia's eyes to widen as she met Sekai's eyes from across the room.

"Oh, are we having a sleepover?!"

"Yes," Alec said calmly.

Riled up, Sekai shouted. "We are fucking not!"

Alec ignored him. "I can't get used to sleeping alone after our nights in the forest."


"Haaah?!"

Sekai still couldn't make heads or tails of this situation.

What bullshit was this!?

As if that cold-blooded System would feel such things! He didn't buy it one bit!

If that was true, then he wouldn't have been travelling alone in the first place!

Still, no matter how Sekai protested this arrangement, he was in the end placed on the ground next to Alec while Elysia took the bed.

Elysia suddenly sat up before pulling an extra blanket from who knows where.

She peered off the side of the bed at both Alec and Sekai who were making themselves comfortable on the floor, one more reluctantly than the other.

"You look like you're having fun," Elysia directed at Sekai, eyeing him curiously.

It looked fun. She never thought that someone would do something like that, but seeing him do it now, she felt the urge to play like that too.

Sekai exploded instantly. "What part of me looks like I'm having fun!"

With a serious face, Alec patted Sekai, who was still trapped in the blanket. "He's quite shy, so you shouldn't compliment him so much."

"Shy! I'll show you shy! Fuck! Get me out from here already! Fight me!"

Elysia gently placed the extra blanket on top of Sekai. "In case you get cold," she said seriously and earnestly, patting the blanket.

Sekai snarled. "I don't need it! I'm already trapped in a layer of blankets! Do you want me to suffocate to death!?"

Alec patted the transmigrator. "It's okay to be shy, but you should give your thanks to someone when they're showing consideration to you."

Sekai started another round of swearing. "I don't need this kind of consideration!"

Alec smiled and patted the transmigrator's head, the repetitive motions lulling the Main Character despite how he tried to dodge the System's hand.

"Go to sleep…"

Sekai fought off the indignity as his eyelids drooped. After all, he'd been in the middle of his sleep when he'd been rudely interrupted.

Both Elysia and Alec stared at the sleeping transmigrator with bemused actions.

What a simple person.

"I guess he didn't hate it as much as he said," Elysia observed.

"I suppose so."

Both Sekai and Alec fell asleep relatively quickly.

Compared to what Alec was worried about, his usual sleeping habits kicked in, and he was out like a light, no need for worries that would have plagued him.

Had he not shoved those feelings behind the wall, however, this would have gone very differently.

Instead, the one that was kept awake was instead Elysia, who was still feeling curious about the things that were going on a few doors down.

However, when she realized how much her friend slash boss was doing to keep her occupied, she couldn't in good conscience go against that consideration towards her.

So, she tried to get some shuteye, but her thoughts constantly revolved around her mind, the sound of two different sets of breathing keeping her awake.

For some reason, she felt a little fidgety, and her heart was strangely unsettled.

She originally chalked it up to her curiosity, but when she let it go, the feelings still remained with her, so what was going on?

Elysia didn't actually have a very good grip on her own emotions, and she knew that she was relatively simple when compared to the rest of humanity.

When she'd been with her dad, she saw no fault in that.

Dragons were loyal to their instincts, and their emotions were strong and simple, which made it easy to converse.

On the other hand, she'd been in the human world for only a few months, but she'd already seen a wide scope of emotions that she was unable to recognize.

It made her curiosity deepen, but at the same time, she felt a little repulsed by the very distinct human emotions that she didn't really connect to.

She had no urge to personally experience those messy emotions, which was why she had no idea what she was currently feeling.

Keeping her tossing and turning discreet, she didn't realize that Alec had woken up because of her fluctuating magical signature.

"What's wrong?"

Elysia jumped at the sudden question, her heart racing.

She shook her head. "Just can't sleep."

Alec fell silent.

In the end, when Elysia almost thought that he'd drifted off to sleep again, she caught sight of Alec approaching her on the bed.

Elysia froze up, her heart pounding.

Alec raised a hand, and her eyes widened when they landed on her hair.

Alec repeated the same motions that he'd done to Sekai earlier, but much gentler, and Elysia felt her thoughts grow hazy.

The soft, repetitive motions brought a sense of peace to her that she'd be hard-pressed to feel otherwise.

She fell asleep with a soft sigh, her breathing evening out.

In the end, the one that was left awake was Alec.

There was an unreadable expression on Alec's face as he looked at Elysia's peaceful sleeping face before he lowered himself back down to get some sleep.
