At dawn.
Pale golden sunlight filtered through the thin white gauze curtains, gently covering the entire room.
Lying on the bed, Haru's eyebrows twitched slightly, and at the same time, his phone placed beside his pillow vibrated, playing the alarm ringtone.
"Hah..."
Exhaling somewhat lazily.
Haru fumbled to bring his phone in front of him, then opened his ink-black eyes.
"Feels like I haven't slept enough, but it's already seven o'clock?"
He resisted the urge to go back to sleep, turned off the alarm, and looked at the calendar and weather displayed on the lock screen.
[May 29th, Saturday, sunny. Auspicious for marriage, moving house, seeking wealth. Inauspicious for travel, sacrifice, burial.]
"Today I arranged to meet Bronya at nine o'clock. I probably won't have time for my usual morning exercise, and besides..."
Haru hesitated, covering his waist as he got out of bed.
When Elysia forcibly pulled him into the room last night, he had originally wanted to refuse.
But considering that he had worked overtime too much this week and couldn't even accompany Elysia on Saturday, Haru felt somewhat sorry for his fiancée...
So Haru struggled briefly before giving up resistance, choosing to submit to Elysia and use his body to make up for the missing companionship.
According to usual developments, the two should have just playfully been intimate for a while, and then before long, the experienced Haru would be able to counter-attack the pink fairy who was both weak and loved to play.
However...
"I really didn't expect that Elysia would come prepared this time!"
Haru recalled last night's experience, couldn't help but take a deep breath, a bitter smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.
The girl had somehow learned new moves. After discovering that ordinary teasing had little effect on him, she suddenly pulled out ice cubes she had prepared in advance, held them in her cherry mouth for a while, then gave him the sensation of ice and fire.
He thought it would just be a contest of skill...
Who knew Elysia wouldn't play fair, directly using enchantment, catching Haru off guard, and in the end he could only quickly surrender.
This unprecedented defeat was as shameful as the Chinese national football team losing to Vietnam.
Haru wanted to fight again, planning to use his flexible finger techniques to redeem himself, but the girl learned from his approach from a few days ago - after winning, she immediately withdrew, smilingly pushing him out of the room while he still wanted to continue.
"After more than half a year of getting along, constantly using the experienced me as a training partner, has Elysia finally evolved in that aspect?!"
Haru rubbed his temples, feeling that he might not be able to maintain the upper hand in the future.
The girl who used to be easily shy had now become more and more bold, while he, after working overtime every day and then having to face Elysia's advances, was gradually developing into a bull that might be worked to death.
Maybe it would be better if aliens really came, then he could get some imaginary energy to restore his strength...
Haru routinely missed the powerful body he had cultivated during the loops, then sighed deeply and put aside unrealistic fantasies.
Rather than hoping this ordinary planet could attract aliens, it would be better to expect Mobius to research a super soldier serum that would let him keep up with Elysia for a whole day.
Haru thought to himself, simply washed up, and personally made breakfast for both of them.
After eating, seeing that Elysia still hadn't woken up, Haru didn't disturb this little lazy cat, but left a note telling the girl what food was still at home, and wrote down several simple and easy-to-make recipes, telling the girl not to go further and further down the path of researching Indian cuisine.
After doing all this, Haru confirmed there was nothing he had missed, then left home with peace of mind.
...
At the entrance of Principle Studio.
Haru, who had arranged to meet Bronya here, hurried over and saw that familiar light gray figure from far away.
The girl seemed to have dressed up carefully, no longer wearing her usual business attire, but had changed into a blue and white dress. Under the elegant hem of the dress extended two white tender calves, and her delicate jade feet wore a pair of low-heeled sandals.
At this moment, a breeze happened to blow by.
The girl raised her hand to hold down her dress hem that swayed in the wind, her skin that could shame frost and snow glowed crystalline under the sun, making her look like brilliant summer flowers.
"Big duck's outfit today is both gentle and pure, with a kind of first love feeling from school days."
Haru had really never seen Bronya in this style, and his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
The Bronya he knew in the loops was still the flat duck, who would only look cute in a dress, not like now, where her good figure perfectly filled out the dress, appearing graceful and charming.
How should he put it - previously only Mei around him could wear this kind of feeling.
And now, Bronya had also become an elegant older sister like Raiden Mei. It really made one want to sigh "my girl has just grown up"...
Speaking of which, beautiful girl raising games would also be quite profitable. Why not make "Volcano's Daughter"?
Haru unconsciously entered work mode, his mind full of ideas about making games and earning big money. Only when he was almost in front of Bronya did he come back to his senses.
Damn, after being a Palworld developer for so long, his first reaction to seeing a beautiful girl was actually thinking about games!
Haru felt sad about this behavior that betrayed his instincts, and warned himself in his heart that today was about taking Bronya house hunting, not coming to work overtime.
Games and such - don't come to spoil the mood today!
Haru calmed his mind, then showed a smile and greeted Bronya.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's fine, it's only eight-fifty now. Bronya arrived early."
Bronya held an unknown but presumably expensive handbag, pursed her lips that were painted with pink lip gloss, and a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.
Haru's gaze flashed, noticing the girl's lip gloss.
She actually took the initiative to put on makeup. The current big duck really was full of feminine charm... He wondered if she learned it from Seele or from Mei?
It definitely couldn't be from Kiana, after all, the art of makeup was still too complex for a paramecium. Kiana didn't even understand makeup as well as he, a grown man, did.
Haru thought of some past events, and the curve of his mouth became even wider.
"Hmm? What are you smiling about, Haru?"
"Nothing, I just thought of something happy, and also, Bronya, you look very beautiful today."
Haru said sincerely, making the girl very pleased.
For today's date with the captain, she had specifically gotten up early to put on light makeup, and choosing clothes had taken quite a bit of time.
However, as long as she could win over the captain, all these efforts were worth it!
Bronya thought this way, then elegantly nodded and walked to a position shoulder-to-shoulder with Haru.
"Thank you for the compliment. I'll be troubling you with today's matter."
"No problem, let's go."
The oblivious Haru was full of energy, saying with a laugh: "With me here, I'll definitely help you pick a satisfactory house."
