"Alright."

Rant Valo didn't think about it anymore. He crawled onto the bed and positioned himself in between the two of them.

"Yey, Master! We're finally sleeping together!"

Veia exclaimed with bubbling excitement. This is the first time that she would be sharing a bed with her master.

"Hmph. Disciple, don't you dare touch Veia in weird places!"

Floriana Sabina warned Rant Valo with a stern look. As the dutiful disciple he was, Rant Valo nodded his head at her.

When Rant Valo was finally able to lie on the bed, Veia immediately grabbed onto his arm and cuddled it.

"Ehehehe~ Master's arm..."

Veia giggled in happiness. She was just like a maiden in love. Well, she is.

"..."

Rant Valo didn't know what to say to Veia. She was cuddling his arm like it was the most important thing in the world. It will take him some time to get used to being treated like this.

"Disciple, give me your arm too."

Floriana Sabina said to him from his left. Rant Valo acceded with her desire and gave her free access to his arm which she then slowly embraced.

"Mmm."

Floriana Sabina buried her face onto Rant Valo's arm. She was in a daze while doing so.

As for Rant Valo, he was contemplating his life's decisions. What led him to this point? Why were two girls hugging him on the bed? He never even dreamed of something like this back in the village.

Before long, they all fell asleep. It was a deep sleep that they all never had before. In a soft bed and hugging their beloved. It's normal that it would be comfortable.

Then morning came, and Rant Valo was the first to open his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He felt disoriented as he stared at the unfamiliar ceiling.

"Huh?"

Rant Valo felt a weight on his stomach. He looked down, and to his surprise, Veia was using it as her pillow.

"Veia? Hey! Wake up."

Rant Valo shook Veia's shoulder in an attempt to wake her up.

"Hmm? Master..?"

Veia slowly opened her eyes groggily. Then a smile formed on her face when she recognized Rant Valo's face.

"Good morning."

It was such a sweet smile that she was able to dazzle Rant Valo.

"G-Good morning. Can you get off me now?"

Rant Valo replied to her. He wanted her to get off him but instead, she slowly wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Hehehe. Master, I love you."

Veia whispered softly. Rant Valo felt his heart skip a beat when he heard her words.

"I love you too, Veia. Now, get off me. You're hugging too tightly."

Rant Valo responded to her.

"Grrr… Master is too stingy!"

Veia complained with a pout on her face. Rant Valo tried to sit up on the bed but he felt someone tugging on his left arm.

"Ah, Master Floriana."

Only then did Rant Valo remember that Floriana Sabina was also hugging his arm. He grabbed her shoulder and shook her.

"Master Floriana, it's morning already."

Rant Valo said to her.

A few seconds later, Floriana Sabina's closed eyelids trembled. She then opened her eyes and looked at Rant Valo.

"Disciple?"

Floriana Sabina asked, confused.

"Master Floriana?"

Rant Valo imitated her and responded back.

"Oh right, I slept together with you, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina finally remembered what happened last night. She was confused when she saw Rant Valo close to her on a bed.

Rant Valo then tried to pull his left arm out of her embrace, but Floriana Sabina embraced it tighter.

"Disciple, let me hug your arm for a while longer."

Floriana Sabina said to him softly. She then buried her face into his arm.

"Mmm. Rub Rub Rub"

Floriana Sabina rubbed her face on Rant Valo's arm with a joyful face.

"Master Floriana, stop rubbing your saliva on me."

Rant Valo couldn't help but say awkwardly. When Floriana Sabina heard his words, she stopped, frozen. A few seconds later, she suddenly tightened her grip on Rant Valo's arm.

"You stupid disciple!"

Floriana Sabina shouted as she tried to crush Rant Valo's arm. Of course, she didn't use much force. She just made Rant Valo feel pain.

"AHHH!! Stop! Stopppp!! Master Floriana, I was joking!"

Rant Valo screamed in pain. She was crushing his arm so painfully.

"Hmph!"

Floriana Sabina snorted in anger and let him go.

"Master, do you want me to massage your right arm too?"

Veia said to Rant Valo with an evil grin. Rant Valo immediately realized what she meant, and his face turned to horror.

"No, Veia!"

Rant Valo shouted to her, and he escaped out of the bed. Being in between the two of them made him feel like his life is in danger.

"Hehehe~ I was just joking, Master."

Veia giggled seeing Rant Valo run away from the bed.

"It's already morning, let's go explore the town again."

Rant Valo ignored her and told them. There are different things available at different times in a city. For example, at night, there were more bars open. However, Rant Valo and the rest didn't enter any.

"Yes, Disciple. Let's go to the cake shop and see if there are more cakes baked for us."

Floriana Sabina suggested. The shop clerk was supposed to deliver it here at lunch, but she was eager to get the other cakes already.

"Okay."

Rant Valo nodded his head. And so, the trio left the inn and headed outside again.

This time, Veia was wearing her black cloak. She was already out of her black frilly dress. Rant Valo couldn't help but lament the fact that he wouldn't be able to see Veia in the dress in daytime.

After going through several streets, they were back at the cake shop. But it was obvious that it was still closed as the shop front is covered with wooden planks.

"I guess we'll come back later."

Rant Valo said to them.

"Aww…"

Veia frowned unhappily.

In a restaurant adjacent to the cake shop, a tall and muscular sect disciple sat together with a man at a table.

"Is that them?"

The sect disciple asked the man beside him. They were both looking towards Rant Valo's group.
