- Tossing and turning won't do much for you right now. You need something to make you return to your peaceful sleep. Warm milk, a lullaby, an onigiri... anything would do right now.
- Right. Getting a drink should be fine – cold or otherwise. Something to eat would do as an alternative too. And thus, you walked out of your room and to the kitchen with your footsteps echoing in the quiet hallways.
- You fumbled around in the darkness for the lights when you managed to reach the kitchen. And when you flicked the switch on, the bright white light blinded your eyes for a few seconds.
- [i]“Ow, that hurts.”[/i]
- You took a while so that your eyes can adjust themselves to the sudden brightness. Once you could see better, you ran a check in the fridge and on the pantry to find anything that catches your attention to make a drink.
- The fridge had a few groceries in it, ranging from leftover food and bread, sandwiches, bread and more. There are also a couple of soy sauce bottles in it. The egg tray on the other hand was full of brown-shelled eggs, mixed with raw and boiled ones.
- Distinguishing them is not a hard thing however. You took some eggs from the tray spun them on the pantry. This way, you could tell that some the eggs were hard-boiled or not by the way they spin.
- “Hey… Seo…” Koishi alarmed you. Utsuho is following close right behind her. “What are you doing in the kitchen at times like this?”
- “Midnight snacking. Can’t sleep.” you replied. “What about you two?”
- “Same.” Koishi replied, the lack of sleep is evident in her eyes.
- “Same…” Utsuho yawned. However, her eyes widened when she saw you with the eggs on the pantry.
- “Why are you looking at me like that?” you asked when you saw her stare fixed on you.
- And all in a sudden, the hell raven lunged at you, but you managed to make a quick side step. Okuu crashed into the floor face first as a result of your actions.
- “Unyu…” She groaned as she lifted herself from the floor while rubbing her forehead.
- You crouched down in front of Utsuho to check her forehead. “You’d be fine. Though, you might be better off not trying to lunge on me like that.”
- “You’re trying to steal my eggs!” Okuu squealed as she began punching your chest repeatedly.
- “I haven’t – ow ow ow ow ow!” And then she stopped when her master told her to.
- “Okuu likes boiled chicken eggs, so that’s why we always had some in the fridge just in case.” She said, while the hell raven gets up from her marble nap while sobbing. “Though, she often mixed up the raw and boiled ones.”
- “I already started sorting out the boiled eggs, no worries.” You replied. “Though, I am more inclined on drinking some hot beverages, like some warm milk or something rather than downing eggs.”
- Koishi shook her head, before telling you something. “Sorry, Orin finished the last carton yesterday and I forgot to ask Yuugi to buy some fresh milk yesterday.”
- “…you really like to ask people some simple favors when you could just buy them by yourself.”
- “Well, I am always away from the palace.”
- “Fine. Do you have some malt drink to go with that?” You asked, pointing at a can with two pierced holes on the top. The can was sitting on top of an orange saucer.
- “Look at the pantry.” She replied simply. “You might find something tasty.” As soon as she finished talking, she helped Okuu peel off the shells off the boiled eggs you had sorted earlier.
- You ran a scan on the containers on the pantry. In the containers were different kinds of tea bags, drink mixes, sugar, spice and everything nice. That is until you stumbled upon a jar filled with purple packets.
- Hold on a moment. Those guys look very familiar. You turned to Koishi to ask what is in the packets.
- “Hey Koishi, what’s this?”
- “Ah, those are the hot chocolate packets I got from the human village store few days ago.” She said, looking over her shoulders.
- To you, she might be stealing yet again.
- “Did you steal it?” You asked in a stern tone.
- “No I didn’t~”
- “You didn’t sound too convincing.” You pressed on and loomed closer to her face. “Did you steal it or not?” This time, you had your fingers ready to flick her forehead if she refused to comply.
- “Okay, okay! I took it from the store near the school in the human village near the school! Happy?” Wow, that worked.
- “Good enough. I don’t have to tell you every time that stealing is bad.”
- Smiling to yourself, you took out a can of condensed milk from the fridge and started boiling water in the kettle over the stove. Few minutes later, the water becomes boiling hot, and Koishi mixed a couple of hot chocolate powder packets and tablespoons of condensed milk in a small jug.
- She then stirred the boiling hot contents in the jug with a rice scoop. When the mixing is done, you poured the hot choc into a mug, before you took a few sips from the mix.
- “How is it? Is it too sweet?” Koishi asked, referring to the chocolate’s taste.
- “Sweet enough.” You exclaimed.
- “Thanks!”
- She put a lid on the jug before walking with it and an empty mug in her other hand. Okuu brought along the tray with sandwiches with her boiled eggs.
- “Hey, where are you going with the hot chocolate?”
- “Let’s go upstairs at drink the stuff at your post. Because sometimes drinking outside is nice~”
- “Sheesh.”
- ---
- After climbing up the stairs to your post at the palace’s rooftop, you could see the Underground City with The lights of the Underground City lit up in various colors, making the scenery looks colorful from afar.
- “It looks beautiful.” You commented while drinking the hot chocolate drink. “You know, Zero always told me about the lights in the Outside World when he still lived there. I wonder how he would think of the night lights here. Does he often visit you people around?”
- “He’s usually here to escort the ghost princess for their usual fugu whale dining every three months.”
- You never heard of that animal’s name before. “Fugu what?”
- “Fugu whales. Sis keeps them under the palace as food once in a while.” She explained. “Preparing them is really hard. But thankfully we always had someone else to do the job.”
- “Alright.”
- Koishi paused a bit as her hell raven keeps on munching her boiled eggs.
- “Say, Seo. Are you prepared to be Yuugi and Parsee’s hug pillow tomorrow?” She
- “I’m not quite sure.” You replied with a frown on your face. “Though, I’m pretty scared at the fact of getting hugged to death by an oni. That sure sounds intimidating.”
- The girl with the closed third eye chuckled. “Don’t worry. We had sleepovers at Yuugi’s house before; she never hugged someone to death.”
- “That’s because she knows you and your pets better.” You replied. “I had only known her for like what, two days. And she’s acting as if we had never met in years.”
- Right after you finished your words, you could feel the hell raven lying on your lap. “Sleepy…” She murmured.
- Koishi yawned before she laid her head against your shoulder.
- “Shouldn’t you two get back to bed if you’re sleepy? Sleeping here is not good for your health, you know.”
- “Then carry us.” Koishi murmured.
- “Well, don’t blame me if you two get a cold tomorrow morning.” Coincidentally she sneezed twice, which made you to elicit a witty response. “I told you.”
- Koishi rubbed her nose. “Alright. Fine. You win. But you still have to carry us to our room.”
- “You big baby.” You responded as you hauled her up into your arms. Okuu on the other hand thoughtfully transformed into her bird form and perched on to your head. “Wait. Who’ll take care of the dirty dishes?”
- “You will.”
- [i]”I knew it.”[/i]

- “You’re up pretty early today.” Satori commented when you finished deploying the Death machine at your post. “Going to the city again, Seo?”
- You nodded after flicking the sentry gun’s barrels to make it start spooling. “Yeah. Since I had lost the match by a tiebreaker…”
- “I know how you feel.” The mind-reader said. “Don’t worry; you’d be fine with both of them around.”
- “At least that’s what your sister told me.”
- “How thoughtful of her.”
- “Satori, when’s the time Yamame would start her business?”
- “In a few minutes.” She replied. “Are you in a hurry?”
- “Not quite.” It’s a bit too early for the tsuchigumo’s shop to be open for business.
- “If you want to go get there quick, you can ask Orin for help.” At the mention of her name, Orin appeared in her cat form, before she transformed into her human-like form with a wheelbarrow near her side. “Or, should I say the cat cart method.”
- “So, mister. Do you want to walk or you want to take the Orin Express?” The kasha asked.
- “Hmm… let’s see…”
- How would you get to Yamame’s Poison House?
- [] Take a scenic route.
- [] Take the Orin Express.
