A long second of silence echoed, the destructive seawater rushing beneath almost deafening. Everyone's eyes were upon me and Chen—Sakuya barely concealing her laughter, the Flans expecting, hopeful, as if this was a true adventure; totally enchanted—, and above it, Chen had the biggest eyes, her chest swelling in anticipation…

I held it for one more moment for dramatics.

… Then I fell limp, defeated by the party’s bard, wings of Gaps dematerializing into a million Gap butterflies. Chen sucked up air, huffed, and, a moment later, threw herself on top of me. "I DEFEATED THE DRAGON!" She yelled, maniacally laughing and cuddling frantically with my tails. Joyous exasperation spread like a virus:

"THE DRAGON MIGHT MOVE!!"

"DON'T LET HER!"

Four more heroic bodies suddenly stacked on top of mine, and I gasped loudly. The heroes piling on top of me could've been considered a pretty incredible power move—

—I looked at Sakuya, who held a camera and had the smuggest grin. "Will you keep doing that…?" I groaned, embarrassed.

"Will you keep being extremely cute with the young Mistress and her feline associate?" She asked, taking off her witch’s hat and the magical starry blanket with a sigh of relief. The girls—three Flandres gone, remaining only Warrior Flan—discussed how incredible the campaign was and that they should do it again. Though I was much more focused on the room under us and the mess it had become, another groan left me.

it'll take a lot of Gaps to fix—

We were suddenly on the bed, and the whole bedroom was pristine looking—thousands of gallons of seawater gone, even the pool was filled with new and crystal-clear water, toys not replaced but indeed repaired—just like it was when I got here.

Wide-eyed for a moment before realization came to the forefront, I looked at a standing Sakuya by the bed, a teatray with four fuming teacups and a bunch of cookies in her hands, her posture and constitution, as always, perfect and elegant.

I huffed, taking one of the cups, the same as Chen and Flan, though these two preferred to go down on the cookies. "How much time was that, Maid-san?"

"About two days of work, Shikigami-san. Not the worst." Oh. All by her lonesome? By the Dragon God, this woman…

Rapidly finishing their cookies and tea, Chen and Flan began discussing what to play next, so I quickly finished my cup and got up. "It seems you're fine enough, Flandre, Sakuya. Keep taking good care of my Chen, please—" The bakeneko pouted, blushing at my words. Cute~ "And if you need anything, be sure to ask. I must leave now to continue my duties."

"Thanks for playing with us!" Two missiles hit me, and I couldn't resist petting their heads. Sakuya had a warm smile on her face, not pulling up the camera this time… That I saw.

"Come play again anytime!" Flandre offered, and Chen nodded frantically, smile toothy.

"It was a pleasure, sweethearts~I'll be sure to do it." Not so soon, of course… Flandre, after all, hits like a goddamn truck.

Waving goodbye with a soft smile, I left the bedroom through a Gap, reminiscing about the last minutes with great fondness, understanding a bit better why Yukari seemed to favor Flandre much more than the others—and it was nice to get my mind off the worst aspects of this place, even if for a mere hour…

… But my next check-up swore to destroy that, leaving my throat sore and an inherent rage growing inside.

Konngara, the Oni, was next.
