Chapter 87: Grakar’s Evolution
When Ryuzen finally arrived at their assigned house, he was hit with an unexpected announcement.
He was told to sleep on the floor.
Apparently, the house had only two bedrooms—one for Venus and one for Ryzen—but with John and Maki joining them, things had to be rearranged.
Venus tossed him a blanket and pillow.
"Go away. You’ll be sleeping on the floor," she said bluntly.
Ryuzen sighed, catching the pillow mid-air. "You know, you could’ve asked a little more nicely. Maybe with a smile. Then I wouldn’t be so displeased right now."
"Mm..." Venus bit her lip, toes curling as her face flushed. "It’s not me... my mom needs the extra space," she muttered, glancing toward her mother, who still lay in a coma.
"Hm... I get it," Ryuzen said with a nod, then smirked. "But wait... if your mom wasn’t here, would you have let me sleep in the bed with you?"
Venus’ ears turned bright red. Her entire face followed.
"Y-you hooligan!" she stammered. "That’s not what I meant! I was going to say—if Mom wasn’t sick right now, I would’ve taken the floor!"
Ryuzen chuckled, clearly enjoying her flustered reaction.
"Sure, sure," he said as he laid down on the floor, pulling the blanket over himself with a lazy grin. "I’ll remember that."
