"Gwen…"
"Hmm~?"
"Jessica wasn't kidding; the medicinal food tastes a bit… odd."
Gwen pouted playfully, "Aw, Evan, are you really dissing my food?"
"Maybe I added too many herbs; the smell is pretty strong."
"Well, should I take care of it?"
"It's fine; we can skip this step~"
"Evan~ Mom is still downstairs." Gwen refused, as Evan tried to get closer.
But wanting to spoil the one she loved, she came up with an idea, "Let's try something different~"

Early the next morning.
Director George looked at his wife with a bit of surprise. "Why is Gwen looking so well-rested? Did you get her some new health supplements? If so, could I get some for a friend's gift? I still have to check on Jessica."
Jenny explained, "It's the medicinal stew Evan made for Gwen yesterday. It seems to work wonders; it's effective so fast, though there's a tiny issue…"
George raised a brow. "A tiny issue?"
Jenny laughed, "Gwen's throat is a bit sore. She said it's just a little too 'warming.' Nothing major."
George smiled in relief, "Well, this young man, Evan, he's very considerate."
[T/N - Poor George].

Meanwhile, in Evan's room.
Evan woke up beside Jessica, recalling last night's events.
After returning from Gwen's, Jessica had taken his words seriously and slipped into his room…
Evan glanced at the black silk by the bedside, noticing a few telltale stains, and felt unexpectedly refreshed.
This was understandable, after all; he had enjoyed the company of two girls in one night.
Though nothing happened directly, it felt more exciting in its own way.
Just then, Jessica stirred awake, a bit disoriented.
"You're terrible, big brother!" She remembered parts of last night and nudged Evan's shoulder.
"I thought we were just fooling around, but you went too far!"
Evan responded casually, "Jessica, you're the one who…"
"Beast! I'm your sister—even if not biologically… Huh? What do you mean it's me?"
Jessica paused, rubbing her head in confusion. "Wait… I was the one who…"
But she continued, "Well, that's only because you started it! Anyway, you're a beast!"
"Oh, come on, I didn't actually do anything," Evan replied with a smirk.
However, Gwen had certainly sparked his excitement, and Jessica had shown up at the perfect time, leading to…
Well, let's just say it left some stains on Jessica's stockings.
"Don't be mad; I'll help you clean up later. Just wash that sticky spot on your leg yourself."
"Get lost~!"
Jessica put on her clothes, glaring at him, "That's it! I'm getting a new pair!"
"Oh, new ones?"
Evan's gaze shifted to Jessica's smooth legs, "I can help you pick~"
Jessica shuddered at his expression. "Ugh, you're gross."
.
.
.
Though the siblings had crossed a new boundary, they continued their playful routine as they got up to wash and get ready for the day.
Later on, George came by to check on Jessica with a small gift.
He reminded Evan to keep an eye on his sister and prevent her from jumping into the superhero world.
"Evan, remember what I told you. Jessica shouldn't get involved in any of that stuff. It's too dangerous."
George's point was clear—the superhero world was too chaotic for Jessica.
"No problem, George," Evan said, ruffling Jessica's hair. "Jessica's a good girl; she'll listen to me."
Jessica sat beside him, acting well-behaved and docile, though secretly, she didn't care much for George's advice. After all, Gwen was currently the most famous superhero in New York. She couldn't wait to see George's reaction when he found out.

"Oh, and George, here are some butter cookies Jessica baked," Evan offered as George was about to leave. "Why not take them to the station to share with the team?"
"Sure thing!" George accepted them happily. "Jessica has always been so thoughtful. I'm sure she understands what I said."
Evan kept smiling (* ̄︶ ̄) — but he doubted she'd listened to any of it.
After sending George off, Evan opened his system panel.
He hadn't yet claimed his reward from yesterday. Defeating an enemy certainly counted.
[You defeated Gwen Stacy's nemesis. Select one reward from the following:]
[1. Monetary Reward: One million USD]
[2. Random Reward: Weather Control]
[3. Servant Reward: Transform Alexei Mikhailovich Sitsevich (Rhino)]
[You defeated another of Gwen Stacy's enemies. Select one reward from the following:]
[1. Monetary Reward: One million USD]
[2. Random Reward: Fresh Coke]
[3. Servant Reward: Transformed Norman Osborn (Green Goblin)]
The choice was easy. He selected [2] and [3], respectively.
Meanwhile—
Norman Osborn, who was under heavy restraint, disappeared without a trace.
The guards were terrified. "Master! Master! Master Norman's gone!"
A little while later, Harry Osborn approached the empty casket with a grim expression. "Damn it… Call me immediately if you find his traces!"
