"Hnng~!"

Stretching her hands up as a cute yawn escaped her lips, Alice rubbed her groggy eyes and slowly relaxed her aching muscles.

"Oya~ looks like you're awake now, my dear master~"

Looking to her side, where the floating head of her familiar continued to roll over with his iconic ear-to-ear smile, Alice sighed.

"Good morning, Cheshire…" Alice said in a tired voice.

"Hm~? Are you still tired?"

"Maybe…?"

The amount of work and effort she put in yesterday wasn't something she could just ignore, especially after facing two rooks and two card aces.

'They're getting awfully stronger than usual….'

"I may have pushed myself a bit too hard yesterday… most of my mana hasn't replenished yet."

Cheshire's cat-like head shook as he watched the struggles of his master.

Usually, Alice would be brighter and more energetic whenever morning came, but now she was struggling to even get out of bed.
