Chapter 83: Be A Hero

Birds chirped, the winds whistled, and the soothing rays of the morning sun gently pulled Ren from his tranquil slumber.

He slowly sat up, a line of saliva connecting his cheek to the bed of leaves under his body. As he let out a yawn to expel the haziness of sleep from his body, rubbing his half-open eyes—he noticed the familiar silhouette of his partner entering the cavern.

"Sirius?"

Ren asked with a yawn.

"—Morning."

Holding his gray coat under his arm, the man's appearance became clear, his cheeks puffed out, swollen and purple.

"What the hell happened to you?!"

"You should see the other guy."

It wasn't a minute before Sirius was face down against his mattress of leaves, soundly asleep as Ren was left perplexed at what had happened.

The situation brought an unexpected positive for the half-awake Ren, who saw the chance given to him.

—If I don't wake him up, he'll sleep through the entire day! Then this cruel game will be over! Ah...I really want to see Iris.
