On the calm sea surface, Yusei lay floating on his back. He had already sent a signal and was now waiting for Hayasaka to pick him up by helicopter.
The sky, previously overcast, was now peaceful, serene, and clear, as if the fierce, violent weather from before had been an illusion.
A skeletal Susanoo hand grabbed a shark that was trying to charge at him. Yusei held it above his head, watching it fearfully and angrily snap its jaws, his own heart completely calm.
His body was now full of energy, but after all, he hadn't undergone such high-intensity combat before. Even if he wasn't physically tired, he was mentally exhausted right now.
All Yusei wanted now was to quickly find a soft, large bed and sleep soundly for the entire afternoon.
Soon, the distinctive sound of helicopter rotors approached. Yusei moved the shark aside and saw the helicopter descending above him, lowering a long rope ladder.
"If only someone would carry me..." He sighed, tossing the shark back into the sea. Yusei quickly climbed the rope ladder into the helicopter.
Inside the helicopter were only Hina and Hayasaka. Hayasaka was the pilot.
As Kaguya's personal maid, who also served as bodyguard, secretary, and more, combat skills were essential.
Hayasaka was not only proficient with various weapons but also skilled in operating various vehicles.
The moment she saw Yusei, Hina couldn't help but throw herself into his arms. No one else knew the terror of that moment, the horror of feeling like the entire sky was your enemy.
An ordinary person would have been too terrified to move, or even suffered a mental breakdown.
She was the Sunshine Girl. She understood perfectly how perilous Yusei's situation had been. So now, seeing Yusei safe and sound, she couldn't hold back her emotions.
"It's great, Boss. You're okay."
Yusei smiled slightly, patted Hina's head, and said softly, "Of course. You're underestimating your boss too much. But your boss is very tired right now. Can I borrow your lap?"
"Huh?" Before Hina could understand what Yusei meant, he had already laid his head on her lap.
This being her first time in such close contact with a boy, Hina's face felt warm.
But looking at Yusei, who had already fallen peacefully asleep, Hina found her heart surprisingly calm.
Gently stroking that youthful but already quite handsome face, Hina's lips couldn't help but curve into a slight smile.
"Thank you, Boss."
By the time Yusei woke up, it was already the next day, aboard the plane flying back to Tokyo.
Opening his eyes, he saw Kaguya and Hina sitting beside him, one reading a newspaper and the other a book.
Rubbing his eyes, Yusei yawned and stretched involuntarily.
"Good morning, my two lovely ladies," Yusei greeted lazily.
Kaguya, who had been reading her book, glanced at him, "It's already afternoon. And we're almost in Tokyo."
"Don't worry about such small details. Then wake me when we reach Tokyo." Yusei closed his eyes again and lay back down.
Hina smiled gently and picked up a thermos containing porridge.
"Eat something before you go back to sleep."
As she spoke, she had already prepared a bowl and spoon, scooping up a spoonful and bringing it to Yusei's mouth.
Clearly, Hina intended to feed Yusei the porridge, just as he had done for her when she was sick.
Naturally, Yusei didn't stand on ceremony.
Being fed was such an easy thing, and he certainly wouldn't be shy about it.
The hand Kaguya used to hold her book trembled slightly. She turned her back to Yusei, refusing to look at them, but couldn't help glancing back from time to time, feeling quite sour inside.
'Hmph, hopeless. That idiot is beyond saving.'
After getting off the plane, then seeing Hina back to the apartment and leaving her some living expenses, Yusei immediately headed home.
Although he had slept plenty on the plane, Yusei still didn't feel like moving around.
Simply put, he wanted to go home and laze around, lying in bed, sleeping when tired, eating when hungry.
Anyway, it was school break. It didn't matter whether he took the university entrance exams or not, as he was guaranteed admission regardless.
The consumption this time had still been quite significant. Yusei planned to rest for three days before returning to school.
Hayasaka dropped Yusei off downstairs. Arriving home, he knocked on the door. The door opened, but the person who opened it was a completely naked young woman.
Yusei immediately closed the door and took two steps back.
He checked the house number. It was his house indeed. But...
Yusei took a deep breath. He thought maybe he was just too tired lately, causing him to hallucinate.
How ridiculous. With his Eternal Mangekyo, he could actually have hallucinations? It felt like a hypnotist being caught by his hypnosis.
He knocked again. This time, the person who opened the door wasn't a naked young woman, but the soft, small figure of Kanna.
Yusei breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he rubbed Kanna's little head.
"I'm home."
"Mhmm, welcome back, Yusei." Kanna enjoyed it greatly, nodding her little head vigorously.
Yusei entered the house. Nothing had changed inside, and it was the same as before. But his parents seemed to be out, probably at work.
Shiro and Kanna had been playing at home all along, not going to school. Since they had each other, Kanna and Shiro weren't lonely.
Holding Kanna's soft, chubby little hand, Yusei asked casually, "Has anything changed at home these past two days?"
Yusei was just asking casually, like asking about ordinary trivial matters, not really expecting Kanna to say anything major.
Unexpectedly, however, Kanna actually nodded, her soft, sticky voice sounding.
"Tohru-sama came to find Kanna. Just a little while ago."
"Tohru-sama?" Yusei was first stunned, then understood, "You mean that companion from your world, right?"
He knew about the 'Tohru-sama' Kanna spoke of. She's also a dragon, and a qualified maid.
'Wait a minute... then the person I saw earlier...'
Because Yusei had been so shocked earlier, his reaction had been extremely fast. He had closed the door almost the instant he saw the naked girl, so he hadn't gotten a clear look at her face. But he did have some impression of the girl's hair color.
'It seemed... golden, leaning towards yellow?'
Led by Kanna, Yusei entered the inner part of the house… his room, which also served as Kanna and Shiro's playroom.
And the moment he entered the room, Yusei almost failed to hold back a nosebleed.
