When the next day came and the first sunlight enter through the window of Leonard and Sachi VIP suite, Leonard was once again woke up by another feeling of deja-vu of having hairs tickling his nose, causing his beautiful dream from the previous night to be somewhat disrupted.
"Five more minutes…." he grumbled as he tried to turn away from the source of the nuisances.
Sachi, seeing that Leonard had ignored her, unlike the last time, pouted cutely and once again used a few strands of hairs to tickled his nose, only to be met with a pillow barring her path to victory that is waking Leonard up.
"Hmmm…" Sachi face twitched when she saw Leonard action, it was then that her facial expression turned dark and she had that infamous "Leonard" sadistic smile plastered widely from ear to ear as she raises her fist and activates one of her skill that she inherited from the game Sword Art Online.
"Some drastic measure is needed I see…" she muttered while her fist glowed brightly golden.
It was also then that Leonard felt that something was wrong and opened his eyes widely under the pillow that he used for cover.
Maybe it was due to all the life and death experience that Leonard had gone through and so he developed a kind of sixth sense for sensing out imminent danger or possibly death.
There was a cold chill running down his back as he slowly got up and looked behind him, there he met a wild Sachi with a sadistic smile, similar to that of his own when he's going all crazy for a fight.
"Is it...too late for any discussion now?..." Leonard meeped as he looked at Sachi.
"Too late now." that was the last thing that he remembers before his life quietly and sadly ended at that moment in time- wait wait wait- no this is wrong! He's not dead yet!
*smack the fist went right at Leonard right eye with a heavy thud sound.
Of course with Leonard borderline absurd if not bullshit durability for his age, his skull would probably be caved in by that punch that Sachi has given out.
Not to say that he didn't take any damage from that- he was only dazed out for a short moment before he regained his sense, only to met with Sachi sweet and innocent smile.
"...why is she so much like Ryan when I gave her a gun just a moment ago?" his inner chibi asked while he himself having cold sweat dripped down his forehead as he looked at this sweet girl that was with him for over a year.
"Good- morning…" she said sweetly.
"Erm...good morning to you too...Sachi…" he said as he gently rubbed the eye that was punched and would have likely popped out if he was any weaker.
"Ouch...that hurt…" he muttered in a low tone, the girl might look like it, but damn she can pack quite a punch!
Seeing Leonard pained expression, Sachi felt somewhat guilty and bad inside, so she leaned over him to check out on the injury that she had caused just a moment ago.
He now noticed that both of them wore their birthday suit due to the wild experience the both of them shared the night before as he also notices a red stain on the bed sheet, along with other...mysterious fluid stain.
Seeing that the red stain was quite large...about the size of a fist, he had guessed that it was quite painful for her, unlike in the game- where the pain limitation was set to a certain amount and any injuries can be instantly healed using potion- here in the real world...it doesn't apply.
"Why didn't you tell that it was this bad...Sachi…" he looked back at her with a meaningful gazed and a complicated feeling arose, she endured that kind of pain for his own pleasure.

After the two of them shared a warm bath together, while having a bit more fun within the bathtub as a morning bonus, they set out to the dining hall for a light breakfast.
It was there that Leonard saw Edward, once again munching on more foods.
"I swear...the amount of food he eats right now probably twice as much as he did for last night dinner." Leonard sweat drop filled his forehead as he looked at the greedy pig that was munching on so much food.
He was also surprised how the hotel didn't go bankrupt yet from the total losses that they have to suffer under this guy named Edward.
"Big bro! Sister-in-law! Come to join me for breakfast! I reserve you guys a few portions!" Edward waved at them while looking like an idiot with foodstuff all around his mouth area and the scrubs.
"Erm...sure...I guess I'll get used to this...eventually...hopefully..?" Leonard lamented as he and Sachi headed for the table and took a seat across from Edward- as they did not plan on having food bits littering their face early in the morning.
"Edward, I need a favor from you." after Leonard and Sachi sat down and had a bit of breakfast that was served to them, Leonard spoke up.
"No favor IOU is needed for you bro, just tell me, I'll do my best to help you." Edward didn't pay much attention while replied, as he was busy trying to get that last bit of meat from the bone before trying to break open the bone for the marrow inside.
"I need your help settling down the people of the Red Eagle tribe, if possible- give them a good environment where they can practice their skills- as I can see some great potential in their usage for my future plans," Leonard told him.
"Hmm...that might take a while...but it is not impossible, I need some initial investment for that, as most of the Nomadic tribe of the south are well known for their horses breeding skills, I need that gold to buy some stock for them to do their jobs." Edward tossed the piece of broken bone away as he replied.
"Good, also when you're at it, mind getting me the fastest steeds that you can find? I need to pay a visit to the Windstad family before returning to the Northern domain." Leonard continued.
He wanted to visit the Windstad because Ryan was likely to be there, he wanted to pick her up before heading back to his father domain.
"aye, I'll try to find you a pair of Windsheer beasts, just make sure you sent me back the gold when you reached home alright? They ain't cheap you know."
Windsheer beasts are a species of magical beast that was domesticated by the people of this world to use as a form of transportation, they are faster, and more durable than the typical breed of horses- however they come at steep prices, and hearing that Edward was planning on getting him a pair of them, he was quite surprised and happy.
"Thanks, Edward, I know I can count on you." Leonard thanked this fatty, who knows- a friend that this bastard had made when he was alive previously could be such a big help- too bad it all up for Leonard to enjoy now, but he still felt somewhat salty that the body of this guy had the chance of touching Sachi though…
With that said and done, both Leonard and Sachi went back to their breakfast and tried to enjoy it as much as possible while refraining themselves from looking at Edward while eating.
Unbeknown to them, someone else- a vengeful father of a spoiled son has set his sight of the both of them, wanting vengeance and retribution, of course- after he ordered his subordinate to dig out as much information as possible- he didn't know one piece of information, probably the most important one of them all as well, it was Leonard surname...
hmm...still feel like crap...thank you Seasonal Flu, you have once again ruined my day.
but at least I'm feeling somewhat better now.
