Akira woke to the sll of coffee and sothing sweet baking in the oven. For a mont, he was disoriented: this wasn’t his bed, and there was leg and arm against him.
Then the mories of last night flooded back in vivid detail, and he groaned softly.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," i’s voice ca from across the room. She was in the kitchenette, wearing a silk robe that stopped mid-thigh, her hair pulled up in a ssy bun. "Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes."
Rina stirred beside him, making a small, contented sound before burrowing deeper into his shoulder. She was still in just her underwear and one of his shirts that she’d apparently claid at so point during the night.
"What ti is it?" Akira asked, his voice sounding rough from sleep.
"Seven-thirty. You both slept like the dead." i turned, spatula in hand, and smiled warmly. "Which makes sense, considering how... active last night was."
Akira sat up carefully, trying not to disturb Rina too much. His body felt surprisingly good... slightly tired, yes, but in that pleasant, well-used way rather than the bone-deep exhaustion he’d expected.
"Good morning, darling," Ai’s voice purred in his mind. "Sleep well? You certainly earned it."
"What’s the damage?"
"Let pull up your recent activity log. You’re going to love this."

[CALCULATING TOTAL...]
[CURRENT PERV-POINTS (PP): 28,570]
Akira stared at the number floating in his vision. Nearly thirty thousand points. That was more than he’d ever had at once.
"Impressive, isn’t it?" Ai said smugly. "Nearly thirty thousand points, Akira. You’re becoming a force of nature. Just rember... while you’re drowning in pleasure here, the Cultural Festival is approaching, and Aya is still watching. Don’t let your guard down just because you’re satisfied."
"I won’t. But first... I should probably spend so of these points. What’s available?"
"Breakfast!" i announced, setting plates on the small dining table.
"I guess we’ss co back to this, Ai."
Rina finally stirred properly, yawning and stretching like a cat. "Mmm, sothing slls amazing."
"French toast and bacon," i said cheerfully. "Co eat while it’s hot."
They gathered around the table, and Akira couldn’t help but notice how natural this felt: dostic, comfortable, like they’d done this a hundred tis before rather than it being the morning after their first night together.
Rina was practically glowing. The violet tinge in her eyes was completely gone, replaced by her natural warm brown. Her skin had a healthy flush, and she moved with an easy grace that had been missing when she was hungry.
"Feeling better?" Akira asked quietly.
"So much better." She grinned at him. "I feel like I could run a marathon. Or fight a hundred demons. Or both."
"Let’s hope you don’t have to do either today."
They ate in comfortable silence for a few minutes before a sharp knock at the door made all three of them freeze.
"Akira? Are you in there?" Mia’s voice ca through the door. "Your room is empty and you’re not answering your phone!"
Akira’s blood ran cold. He looked at i and Rina, both of whom had gone pale.
"Shit," Rina whispered.
i stood quickly, checking her appearance and making sure her robe was properly closed. "Stay calm. I’ll handle this."
She walked to the door and opened it, blocking the view inside with her body. "Oh, Mia-chan! Good morning."
"i-san? Have you seen Akira? I’ve been looking everywhere..." Mia’s voice stopped abruptly. "Wait, is that his jacket on your couch?"
"Yes, he’s here." i stepped aside, letting Mia see inside.
Mia’s eyes went imdiately to Akira and Rina sitting at the breakfast table, both fully dressed but obviously having just woken up here. Her expression shifted rapidly between confusion, suspicion, hurt and anger.
"What’s going on?" Mia’s voice was tight and controlled. "Why are you both here?"
"We were working on the bunny suit costu late into the night," i said smoothly, returning to the kitchen. "The festival is almost here, and there were a lot of adjustnts to make. By the ti we finished, it was nearly two in the morning."
"So you... stayed here?" Mia looked between them.
"I offered them my guest futon," i continued, gesturing to a folded futon in the corner that definitely hadn’t been used. "It was late, they were exhausted, and it seed silly to have them walk all the way next door."
Mia’s eyes narrowed. "Our apartnt is literally next door. It’s a thirty-second walk."
"Through the hallway, yes. But at two in the morning, with how tired they were, it just made sense." i’s expression was perfectly innocent, maternal even. "Besides, I made breakfast for them as thanks for all their hard work. Would you like so? There’s plenty."
[SYSTEM ALERT: CRITICAL DECEPTION CHECK]

[SUCCESS FACTORS: I’S MATERNAL AUTHORITY PLAUSIBLE EXCUSE VISIBLE EVIDENCE (SEWING MATERIALS)]

Akira stood, walking over to Mia and taking her hand. "I’m sorry I didn’t text you. My phone died around midnight, and I was so focused on helping with the costu that I didn’t even notice until we were done."
He activated Silver Tongue subtly, strengthening the bond between them. "Co here, let show you what we were working on."
He led her to where the bunny suit laid on the sewing machine... i must have tidied up their ss when she woke up. He held it up without handing it off to her. There was chalk marks, and pieces scattered on the work table nearby.
"i-san is incredible with a sewing machine," Akira continued. "She was making adjustnts for hours. Rina had to model it multiple tis so we could get the fit perfect."
Mia examined the costu, her expression softening slightly. The evidence was there... this clearly had taken significant work.
"It does look amazing," she admitted quietly.
"And I really did just crash on the futon," Akira added, squeezing her hand. "I was exhausted, i-san offered, and it seed easier than walking back in my state."
[CHOICE A SELECTED: REINFORCE THE LIE]
[DECEPTION CHECK: SUCCESS]
[MIA’S SUSPICION: REDUCED TO MODERATE]
Mia looked up at him, searching his face. Through Heart Strings, he could feel her emotions: the GREEN jealousy was still there, but it was mixed with YELLOW relief and a thin thread of WHITE trust that was holding.
"Okay," she said finally. "I believe you. But next ti, charge your phone before it dies. I was worried."
"I will. I promise."
She pulled him into a hug, burying her face in his chest. "I just... I don’t like not knowing where you are. It makes anxious."
"I know. I’m sorry." He held her close, feeling the tension in her body slowly ease.
Behind them, Rina and i exchanged relieved glances.
"Now," Mia said, pulling back and putting on a bright smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. "Since you’re both here and eaten, want to get dressed so we walk to school together? We have final festival prep today."
"Sure, if you re done eating, you should all get going. You don’t want to be late."
They gathered their things, thanked i for breakfast, and headed out to quickly bathe and change for school. As they walked down the hallway, Mia stayed close to Akira’s side, her hand firmly gripping his.
"So Rina," Mia said conversationally, but with an edge to her voice. "You and Akira have been spending a lot of ti together lately. The festival project, the costu fittings, staying up late working..."
"Just helping out," Rina said carefully. "The festival is important, and Akira needed the support."
"Right. Support." Mia’s smile was sharp. "That’s what we’re calling it."
"Mia," Akira warned gently.
"What? I’m just making conversation." But her grip on his arm tightened.
The walk to school was tense, with Mia maintaining a careful watch on both of them. Akira could feel the GREEN jealousy thread pulsing stronger, the Emotional Anchor working overti to keep it from exploding.
[WARNING: MIA’S JEALOUSY LEVEL INCREASING]
