----------------------------------------------------------

Renz woke up. His internal clock was always precise; he'd typically wake up at the time he usually prepared breakfast, about half an hour before most people. At this hour, his wife and children were usually still asleep, and he would quietly get up to make nutritious meals in the kitchen.

Oh, the children weren't here yet. Never mind then. Making breakfast for Erina was the same.

Wait a minute! Erina! Yes! Erina! Renz's eyes widened suddenly. Why was Erina lying on the futon next to him? She was sleeping by his side, a sweet, blissful smile on her face. A faint curve graced her lips, as she curled up, nestled close to Renz.

Did she get up in the middle of the night because she couldn't sleep? Or... Renz squinted. Could it be that someone deliberately hogged the blankets, and she couldn't stand it, so she burrowed into his? Renz silently glanced at the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Just as Renz was about to withdraw the arm he had around Erina, she, in a sleepy daze, tightly clutched his carefully moving hand. Was she faking sleep? Renz mused. He didn't rush to get up, instead lying back down, wanting to see what Erina was up to. Her eyes were tightly closed, her breathing even. She didn't appear to be faking sleep.

Erina looked rather cute when she was asleep, lacking the "fierce woman" aura she had when awake. Her delicate features stirred a ripple in his heart. Renz thought about how this was his officially certified future wife, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the sleeping woman before him was the cutest person in the world. He smiled, gazing at the sleeping Erina, chuckling softly. His narrowed eyes seemed to glow.

On the bed, Akemi Tenzaki stretched. She hadn't slept well last night. It wasn't her usual bed, and sleeping in a room with relatively unfamiliar people made her uneasy, resulting in very poor sleep quality. Her outstretched arms moved too smoothly. Akemi Tenzaki then realized that someone was missing from her side because she alone occupied most of the bed.

Cold sweat trickled down her back. Where did she go? The sudden panic of someone being missing startled Akemi Tenzaki greatly. She quickly propped herself up with her hand, scanning her surroundings, and immediately spotted the person who had vanished without a trace. Erina was lying on the futon, asleep.

Beside her, the man named Renz, who seemed to be her boss's daughter's boyfriend, was propping up his left cheek with one hand, lying diagonally, observing the sleeping Erina. He was smiling as he carefully tucked the blanket around Erina.

He seemed to notice Akemi Tenzaki's gaze. Renz gently put a finger to his lips, making a "hush" gesture. Akemi Tenzaki, who had initially thought Renz was engaging in "perverted behavior," remained "quiet." If it were truly perverted behavior, then Renz and Erina would probably be on the bed, not Erina on the futon. She didn't know what had happened. Akemi Tenzaki's mind raced with chaotic thoughts about the plot's development.

Renz, from below the bed, finally managed to free his hand from Erina's grasp. As he left the futon, his movements were minimal. As he walked out of the covers, he still meticulously tucked the blanket around Erina. Under Akemi Tenzaki's gaze, Renz walked into the kitchen. He was going to make breakfast for Erina.

As Akemi Tenzaki watched Renz's movements, she checked the time on her phone. It was only five-thirty in the morning. He was quite an early riser; most people wouldn't be awake at this hour. If Akemi Tenzaki hadn't had poor sleep quality, she might have slept until six before waking up.

However, the more pressing question she had was: Why was Erina on the bed before going to sleep, but on the futon when she woke up? Was this a dereliction of duty? Akemi Tenzaki thought about how her boss had asked her to come and look after her daughter, but when she woke up, her boss's daughter was lying in someone else's bed.

While she was still contemplating the meaning of life, on the floor, sleeping on the blanket, Erina gradually woke up. She rubbed her eyes as she stirred.

"Husband, where are you?" Erina still had some residual sleepiness; her mind wasn't fully clear yet, and she seemed to have forgotten that there was another person in the room. When she finished speaking, a bewildered face on the bed, contemplating life, sent a slight chill down Erina's spine.

Oh no. She had forgotten there was another person in the room! And she had intended to just sleep for a bit and then climb back onto the bed, but what if she had slept through it all? What was she going to do? Lying next to Renz, a wave of sleepiness came over her. She wanted to sleep for a short while, then closed her eyes and fell asleep, deeply. She had no awareness of waking up in the middle of the night.

Akemi Tenzaki, on the bed, was indeed questioning her life choices. If the newly awakened Erina was still in a hazy state, Akemi Tenzaki might have been lost on life's long journey. What was going on with these kids? She's already calling him "husband" so naturally?

Clearly, you deliberately jumped into his covers last night, so what's the point of my being here to 'supervise'? These young lovers are completely ignoring my existence. They were doing whatever they wanted. Akemi Tenzaki, who had just taken a hit, felt a slight internal bleeding.

"I'm making breakfast. You're awake? Go wash your face first," Renz's voice leisurely echoed from the kitchen. At this point, Akemi Tenzaki finally understood why Renz had woken up so early. He had gone to make breakfast.

And Erina, who had been in an awkward situation, found the awkward atmosphere subtly diffused by Renz's words. She thought for a moment and finally chose to ignore Akemi Tenzaki on the bed. She slowly pulled up her silky black stockings, wrapping them around her fair legs. Erina brought the conversation back to business.

"The program hasn't officially started filming today; we need to take a costume photo shoot. Are you just going to wear that outfit?" Erina explained the day's schedule. This costume photo shoot actually also involved filming a "personal MV," a self-introduction for a promotional video.

This was generally prepared for people who already had some recognition. Those without recognition wouldn't have their costume photos and promotional MVs filmed yet. If they performed remarkably during the competition and received enough screen time, the program team would then make up for it.

Renz had also participated in such activities before. However, participating as a contestant was new; he used to be a judge.

"Otherwise?" Renz retorted. He only had a few sets of clothes, and Erina had bought them all for him.

"It's a bit too casual, don't you think? How about changing into something else?" Erina inquired in a consultative tone.

"Then you help me find a suitable outfit," Renz was actually a classic suit enthusiast; he particularly liked wearing suits when going out, but wearing a suit in a cooking competition felt a bit strange.

"Hmm, let me see," Erina said. Inside the room, Akemi Tenzaki felt as if she were isolated in another world.

Even though it was a room shared by three people, she felt like an invisible person, ignored by everyone.

"Ms. Tenzaki, breakfast is ready. You can come eat too. I won't formally entertain you," Renz said, serving the porridge. "Erina, come drink your porridge. There aren't many ingredients here, so I could only make it light." In the ceramic bowl, white rice porridge steamed, with some translucent white crystals sprinkled inside. "It's a bit hot; wait a moment." Renz checked the temperature, slowly stirring the white porridge with a spoon.

Akemi Tenzaki finally felt her presence acknowledged. It seemed someone still knew she was in the room. She felt relieved. Being a "third wheel" like this had no flavor at all; there wasn't even the fun of being a third wheel. Most people enjoyed being a third wheel to disrupt the atmosphere between couples.

Mana Nakiri had entrusted Akemi Tenzaki to sleep here precisely to be a bright third wheel, to interfere with the young couple's lives. But unexpectedly, her role as a third wheel not only failed to have any effect, but she also felt like she was metaphorically punched.

A bit saddened.

From beginning to end, you two have been persecuting single people, you bastards! You haven't stopped for a moment!
