Chapter 44: Rin, The Entertainer!
After the longest mental pep talk of his life, Rin finally returned to his room, slamming the door closed like it was the cause of his problem.
He turned his head, staring at the small bag he’d set aside for this miserable getaway. The bag sat in the corner, reminding him he had no way out of this. He walked over to it, shoved his belongings haphazardly, and grabbed a full pack of ramen like it was a lifeline.
He shoved them into his system inventory with a satisfying click.
"It’s best to take them with me than leave them here," he grumbled under his breath.
He swept his gaze across the room and grabbed an entire bottle of suppressants, a heat patch box, and a few emergency contraceptive pills. He had no plans to use them, but his plans happened to fail whenever he was in this world. Just as he slung the strap over his shoulder, Niblet hopped onto the bed, tail wagging.
"Alright, partner," Rin crouched and petted him between the ears. "You are on duty, Niblet. If that creepy Duke tries anything while I’m sleeping, I want you to bark... bark like your life depends on it till I wake, alright?"
Niblet barked, tongue lolling, as if in solemn promise.
"That’s a good boy. Let’s go."
With that, Rin left the dorm, with the door locked behind him.

Thirty minutes later, Rin stood in front of the Duke’s mansion, jaw slack as he stared at the massive iron-wrought doors.
