"Well, anyways." Rea sighed. "Since you don’t want to tell me that you’ve missed me or help me find my way to my bed, I’ve got some things for you."

    "Oh, what do you have for me?"

    "You know, it’s so annoying! You were all like... Um, I want lovey dovey stuff. Um, I don’t want just sex. Um... Nyanyanya... And now you’re acting hard to get."

    "Yeah." Cero nodded.

    "So what’s up with that?"

    He closed his eyes, nodding continually.

    "Such is the way of the world." Cero muttered with a profound tone. "You want something most when you don’t have it."

    "That is so incredibly rude."

    "You’re incredibly rude."

    "Yeah, so?" Rea asked, standing over him.

    Unfortunately for her, despite the fact that he was sitting on his knees, the difference in height wasn’t as big as she wanted it to be.

    "You’re so menacing, Rea." He smiled. "Looming over me like that."

    "Yeah?" She leaned forward, her face approaching his. "We can bring this energy into the bedroom. Me standing over you, you on your knees..."

    The thought made him chuckle.

    "Yeah..." Rea lowered her gaze as she tilted her head. "Wouldn’t really work..."

    "Rea."

    Her gaze moved back to meet his.

    "Do you love me?"

    "..." She straightened her back, her face slowly changing color from her blushing. "Like I said, I have some things for you."

    Rea walked to the desk, and Liz handed her the controller.

    "I died." The latter muttered with her lips pressed together.

    With Rea so close, there was no way she wouldn’t have noticed. Liz decided to be truthful, since being discovered now could point at the fact that this had been her 4th game.

    "I suck." She sighed. "Well, haven’t gamed in years..."

    "Same." Rea shrugged. "But I don’t suck." She opened one of the many drawers without looking in Liz’s direction. "Go for another."

    "Really? I can? Yey!"

    Rea turned around, waving a box.

    "A gift? You’re spoiling me."

    "It’s a phone."

    "And who’s the witch in your story?"

    "UGH!" Liz lowered her fist against the desk. "THIS IS SO ANNOYING! THE SPIN-OFF GAME WAS MUCH EASIER THAN THIS!!"

    Rea’s gaze repeatedly-

    "Rude."

    "What? Fine, it’s not a mad Witch or a sleeping cast. A barbarian knocked me out."

    "And to save you, I have to knock you up."

    Rea’s lips curled upwards.

    "That’s the spirit."

    She sighed after a couple of seconds.

    "Oh, well. Can’t do anything in the barbarian’s presence." Rea clicked on the holographic screen. "This is your banking app. Obviously, I got you in a bank of which we own a lot of shares."

    "That’s just good business."

    "Yeah, but it’s also a pretty small bank. We own 80% of it, so no one will keep tabs on you or anything like that."

    "Cool. And the money...?"

    "Yep, sale came through."

    "Already?"

    "Well, yeah. I don’t just play video games."

    "How much did we get for the crystals?"

    "We...? Oh, hell yeah! Well, we got... A lot lot of money."

    Rea showed him the amount on the screen.

    "That’s... A lot of zeroes."

    "Hell yeah, it is. I know the right people to sell to after all."

    "So what can I buy with that? I mean... I don’t really know the prices of things."

    "Hmm." Rea’s index finger pressed against her chin. "In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a lot lot, but you would be considered rich pretty much anywhere you go in the universe."

    "Cool." Cero nodded. "What about-"

    "By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask for a while now..."

    "Ask away."

    "How come you’re just with Liz?"

    "Hm?"

    "I mean... Where did you leave... You know."

    "Oh." Cero’s lips curled upwards as he directed his gaze at the electronic bracelet around his wrist. "She’s..."
