章節 197: 197 A New Atmosphere

Once they were dismissed, Max headed back to his apartment to freshen up in hopes that Moonie would still be coming over to play chess tonight. First a shower, and his best casual clothes, from the casual wear photo shoot for the tournament winners of course, so he didn't get it wrong, then he cleaned up the few random items laying around his apartment and set the auto clean to dust everything.

By the time that was done, Max was starting to get nervous. He had actually invited a girl to his room. A woman who was an actual romantic interest and not Nico, who was more like family in his mind after all they had been through. The feeling of her cool skin against him as he slept was a hard thing to forget though. Cyborgs are very comfortable to sleep beside, at least ones with that new design of the outer shell.

As though thinking of her had summoned her, Max's doorbell rang and the security camera showed Nico waving at him happily.
