”A-ah! Wait!” Alice shouts after him as he gets up and heads to their new gaming room. Of course, a group that met through gaming is going to have a room dedicated to gaming. ”That stubborn man!”

Cassandra shrugs and says, ”What can you do? Men hate going to doctors. My dad never lets anybody take him, and none of my exes would go either. Then again, they were all paranoid they'd get in trouble for drugs. I'm used to guys just refusing to ever do the smart thing and get checked out.”

”I am not! My father would go to the doctor's for even the slightest pains and bruises! Ryouta should as well!”

”What about your dads?” Cassandra asks, looking up at Serra.

Serra signs to them that her moms would drag her dads to the doctors' whether they wanted to go or not.

”Your moms really had your dads on tight leashes, didn't they?”

Serra signs that they still do.

While the girls discuss how troublesome men are when it comes to getting medical attention, Ryouta finishes setting up his computer, hooking everything together, getting everything connected to the internet, and digging his virtual reality headband out from one of the boxes in the room that has yet to be unpacked. He really underestimated just how much unpacking there would be. Even with how little belongings he owns, he realized how many useless things he has during the packing process.

He also remembered that there were three boxes in his closet that he never unpacked after moving into his old apartment, and now those three boxes will probably never be unpacked here, either.

”Finally. Haven't gotten to play in a week,” Ryouta says, slipping on the headband and getting into a comfortable position in his chair. Unfortunately, as soon as he immerses into virtual reality, a warning message pops up asking him to verify logging in from a new IP with his phone. ”Of course.”

After confirming his identity, he's finally allowed to play the game and become Fenrir once again.

He wakes up to the sight of Serra, Cassiel, and Nell all lying asleep on top of him in the hammock. He's amazed that the hammock is able to hold all four of them in it without breaking down. The only bad thing about this is that he has no idea how to get out from underneath them. ”I… don't suppose that you're willing to come and move them for me, are you, Overseer? You can do that, right?” Fenrir asks.

Fortunately, the three girls slowly open their eyes and yawn to simulate having just woken up, and then they get out from the hammock one at a time.

It's creepy to Fenrir knowing that they aren't really his girlfriends right now even if they're moving with the same sort of mannerisms that his girlfriends use, but he's just happy that he won't be trapped underneath them. ”Thanks,” he says.

The three girls climb back into the hammock and cuddle together now that he's out of it.

And then a familiar but wonderful sound reaches his canid ears.

The sound of heavy, clumsy footsteps rushing down the wooden steps of The Shoebill.

Fenrir braces for what is about to happen next.

Rock comes into sight, charges right at him, and leaps up! She sends him sliding back a bit but, thanks to bracing for her, fails to knock him over. ”Hey there, girl. You been a good pup?” Fenrir asks her with the kind of voice only used on babies and animals.

Rock barks and licks his face.

”You haven't been doing anything inappropriate with Shogun while I've been gone, right?”

Rock stops what she's doing, looks away, and walks back up the steps.

”H-hey, what's – why do you seem so serious? Why won't you look at me? Rock?”

He doesn't get an answer.

”I'll let you snack on a cannonball.”

Rock turns around, rushes at him, and starts licking him again!

”You're a silly dog. So, seriously, you've been behaving, right?”

Rock looks away again.

”You're lucky I love you. At least use protection.”

Rock tilts her head.

”There isn't going to be a litter of rocky foxes running around, right?”

Rock tilts her head in the other direction now.

With a sigh, Fenrir gives up and says, ”Come on, let's go check things out.”
