*Ding-a-ling!* At 7:00 am, the alarm clock blared.
*BOOM!* A muffled explosion cut the sound short. Haru's iron fist had mercilessly smashed the alarm clock to pieces!
Sora, sporting dark circles under her eyes, opened her eyes and grabbed the black rabbit doll beside her futon. She flung it at Haru's forehead. "So noisy!!"
Haru opened his eyes, bloodshot and dazed, ignoring Sora's attack. "Sorry, I forgot to set the alarm last night."
After their battle with Voban, Haru and Sora had enjoyed an eleven-day honeymoon in Italy, filled with intimate moments. However, their trip had been plagued by constant challenges from Italy's battle-crazed King of Swords, Doni. Haru, who had long coveted the secrets of Doni's Authority, the Silver Arm that tore through all things, had readily accepted each challenge.
Their attempts to "provide demolition services" to the Italian people had been repeatedly thwarted by Sora, Doni's close friend Andrea, Their efforts to curb the Devil Kings' destructive tendencies had earned them the peculiar nicknames "Devil King Inhibitors" and "The King's Butlers" among Europe's "bystanders." Rumor had it that they were even registered as such by the Greenwich Assembly's Council.
Even after their Italian honeymoon, Haru hadn't found a single opportunity to be alone with Sora. They had returned to Japan the previous night, and now he was suffering the consequences of jet lag.
"I'll go get breakfast. You can sleep a bit longer, Sora," Haru said, scratching his head in frustration. His head was still spinning from the disrupted sleep schedule. He trudged towards the bathroom.
