The next morning, Roland opened his eyes as the first ray of sunlight shone into the living room.
The fan had kept blowing hot air all night, and cicadas were shrilling their familiar songs outside the window.
Now he had confirmed that the sleep in the Dream World would not get him back to reality, and Roland thought that he could rest during sleep.
Although this may sound a bit weird... Who cares. It doesn't matter if it works.
Yawning, he got off of the couch. When he was about to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he heard Zero screaming in the bedroom.
After a moment, she appeared at the door, her face blushed. She pointed to Roland, stammering. "Yesterday I... You..."
"I slept on the couch last night." Roland shrugged. "Please, you're sweaty and unwashed. I would certainly not sleep with you."
