You have triggered a limited-time quest: Touka's Plea.

Quest Requirement: Heed her plea and stay the night.

Quest Reward: Random Skill Reward.

Lin Ze was initially a bit flustered, but after hearing the system's voice, he instantly calmed down.

After all, who is the system? That's his big brother!

His big brother wouldn't lie to him, would he?

Thinking of this, Lin Ze lightly coughed, then righteously said:

"Ahem, Miss Touka is indeed very right, Tokyo is very dangerous right now."

After speaking, a clear hint of apology was in Lin Ze's eyes. "Then I'll trouble Miss Touka tonight."

"Mmm~"

Hearing this, Kirishima Touka gently nodded, looking very shy.

She didn't know why, but the feeling of regret and loneliness in her heart gradually disappeared.

"Then I'll go tidy up first; my home is a bit messy."

Perhaps feeling a bit awkward sitting there, Kirishima Touka stood up, bit her red lip lightly, and went into the room.

Gulp~

Seeing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but swallow.

A single man and woman alone in a room in the middle of the night, he felt the implications were not very good.

But before that, he had to explain the situation to Rize first.

Otherwise, if she got hungry, she might go out and kill indiscriminately.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze picked up his phone and dialed the number.

Meanwhile, in another apartment, Kamishiro Rize was comfortably enjoying a moonlight bath on the balcony.

She had just showered, wrapped in a bath towel, with a few drops of water still falling from her hair.

Kamishiro Rize sat on the balcony chair, her body leaning back lazily and naturally.

She crossed her legs, one beautiful leg swaying lightly in the air, her pretty and lovely feet very eye-catching.

Just one look was enough to make one unable to tear their gaze away, so captivating.

The bright moonlight shone on her smooth and fair skin, emanating a sacred and elegant aura.

"Hello?"

Kamishiro Rize picked up the phone beside her, her voice soft, charming, and pleasant to the ear.

"Rize, I'm at Miss Touka's house helping her with her studies right now."

After the call connected, Lin Ze spoke directly.

He didn't hide or explain anything, being very sincere.

After all, Lin Ze couldn't bring himself to deceive a woman.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Kamishiro Rize slightly narrowed her eyes, a smile playing on her lips.

"So?"

After getting her response, Lin Ze continued: "It's too late; I'm staying at her place tonight. I won't be coming back."

"Alright, just be careful not to let her eat you up completely~"

Kamishiro Rize said casually, taking a sip of coffee.

"Mmm, I understand."

Lin Ze nodded, not surprised by her reaction.

"However, since you're not coming back tonight, I won't have anything to eat."

"You promised me you'd make sure I was full~"

Kamishiro Rize chuckled lightly, her soft and gentle voice incredibly alluring.

"So, when you come back tomorrow, you'll have to compensate me double~"

Gulp~

Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but swallow. The usual amount was already enough for him to handle.

If it were double, he probably wouldn't be able to walk properly at work the day after tomorrow, would he?

"Alright, then that's settled. See you tomorrow."

Even though he had already imagined his miserable fate the day after tomorrow, Lin Ze still agreed.

..........

After hanging up the phone, Kamishiro Rize on the apartment balcony gently sipped her coffee.

She showed no sign of panic, looking very calm.

For some reason, she had an inexplicable trust in this human named Lin Ze.

Perhaps it was because he was so good at pleasing her.

Thinking of this, Kamishiro Rize licked her rosy, full lips, a hint of anticipation and desire flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Tomorrow, I can finally eat Lin Ze up completely~"

..........

After hanging up the phone, Kirishima Touka, who was tidying up the room inside, poked her head out.

"Lin Ze, the room is ready. You can come in now~"

Hearing this, Lin Ze put down his phone and walked in.

Touka's room was quite minimalist, without the typical items a young girl her age might have.

Upon entering the room, Lin Ze looked around with interest.

However, unfortunately, there were no pink, girlish items in the room.

This was a bit disappointing; perhaps Touka didn't really like pink.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh.

"I've tidied the room; you can sleep soundly."

Seeing his curious gaze, Kirishima Touka breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, she had taken the opportunity to put away all those pink items earlier.

Otherwise, if Lin Ze had seen them, she'd probably be so embarrassed she'd want to dig a hole and crawl into it on the spot.

"I sleep here?"

"Shouldn't you be sleeping here?"

Hearing this, Lin Ze was slightly taken aback, a bit surprised and confused.

"You're the guest, so you sleep on the bed. I'll just sleep on the sofa outside."

Kirishima Touka handed him a pillow, a flush on her cool, beautiful face.

"That's too embarrassing. I'll sleep on the sofa outside."

Lin Ze shook his head, indeed feeling a bit strange.

There's no such thing as the host sleeping on the sofa and the guest sleeping in the master bedroom; if not, a futon on the floor would be fine, right?

"It's fine, just sleep here. I'll go out now."

Kirishima Touka gently shook her head, then turned and walked out.

Watching her back, Lin Ze held the pillow, unsure what to say for a moment.

He also knew that Touka's tsundere personality couldn't be contradicted; he had to go along with her.

With that thought, Lin Ze had no choice but to lie down on the bed.

Feeling the softness beneath him, he could even detect a faint scent of hair.

As he felt and breathed, Lin Ze gradually drifted into slumber.

Meanwhile, in the living room outside, Kirishima Touka sat cross-legged on the sofa, hugging a pillow.

"I'm just afraid he'll be in danger, just afraid he'll be eaten by a Ghoul and then they'll trace it back to me."

Kirishima Touka murmured softly, trying to convince herself.

"Looking at how frail Lin Ze is, any Ghoul could tear him to shreds.

"I'm protecting myself, for the sake of my safety and Anteiku's."

"I... I'm not doing this because I like him!"

After comforting herself internally, Kirishima Touka felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

As her breathing gradually steadied, she unconsciously drifted into slumber.

The bright moonlight streamed through the window onto the living room floor.

By the moonlight, one could vaguely see the beautiful and fair legs on the sofa.

And those cute and obedient little feet, becoming even more alluring under the moonlight's nourishment.

"Mmm mmm~"

Just then, Kirishima Touka, in her sleep, turned over and then sat up from the sofa.

She groggily opened her eyes, her delicate body swaying slightly back and forth.

"Pee-pee~"

Kirishima Touka rubbed her eyes, dizzily stood up, and walked into the restroom.

A moment later, with the sound of flushing, Kirishima Touka groggily walked out of the restroom and headed straight for the bedroom.

"Bed... so soft, so fragrant~"

Feeling the fragrant scent in the air, Kirishima Touka, with sleepy eyes, looked at Lin Ze sleeping soundly on the bed.

Almost without any thought, she pulled back the covers and lay down.

A gentle breeze swept through, carrying a hint of chill.

"So cold~"

Kirishima Touka's delicate body trembled slightly, and she instinctively hugged Lin Ze in front of her tightly.

Feeling that warm and comfortable sensation, a faint smile subtly curved on her lips in her sleep.

"Warm, so comfortable~"
