My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

A couple of seconds later, Satoshi turned to Emma's side, and Emma got a clear view of Satoshi's face. A smile appeared on her face as she reminisced about the first time she met Satoshi.

It was an unorthodox way of meeting someone, but they bonded in an instant. Adding to that, Satoshi ultimately helped her out and now her planet was saved.

"Thank you, Satoshi," A warm smile appeared on her face as she succumbed to her drowsiness.

Slowly, Emma's eyes fluttered and then she fell asleep. Her hand subconsciously held Satoshi's and they held hands as they fell asleep.

Normally, Satoshi wouldn't have fallen asleep when there was someone there with him. However, he had been with Emma for a couple of months now, and he completely trusted her. That's why it was fine for him to let his guard down if it was Emma.

Well, he also trusts Shiroi by a lot, but Emma had been supporting him closely for quite some time now, inevitably bringing them closer together.

...

A sweet atmosphere lingered in the air as Ayumu and Tatsuki cooked dinner together. They've been enjoying the past couple of weeks staying home together since there were no major incidents going on in Japan. In the past, alien invasions and terrorist attacks were a daily occurrence, but now peace had set in.

Some called it the calm before the storm, but Ayumu and Tatsuki just hoped things would stay this way. After all, it wasn't every day that they get to spend time together like this.

Even with the prolonged peace that was currently going on, Ayumu and Tatsuki never missed a day of training. They have to be prepared for when disaster strikes. It is the inevitability of a superhero-infested world, after all.

Ring riiiing~

"I'll get it," Ayumu volunteered as she picked up her phone. It was the school calling.

"Hello, we would like to ask if Emma Leisenberg and Midoriyama Satoshi had gotten home safely. They didn't ride the school bus today." It was Knighthawk who was speaking on the other end, and Ayumu immediately recognized his voice.

"Ah, Knighthawk-sensei." Ayumu greeted, bowing down even though she was only greeting through audio. "Yes yes, don't worry about them. They got home an hour or so ago." Ayumu continued.

"Right, I'm sorry for calling so late. I've been looking all over the school for them." Knighthawk explained. He was actually out of breath, and Ayumu could hear his bated breaths through the phone.

"No worries, no worries," Ayumu cheerfully said.

Click!

As Ayumu put the phone down, Tatsuki leaned by the kitchen counter. "Knighthawk?" He asked, vaguely hearing the voice through the phone since he didn't bother listening.

"Yes, he said that Emma and Satoshi didn't take the school bus." Ayumu giggled.

A smile appeared on Tatsuki's face as he mischievously pointed at the ceiling. "Now that you mention it... it's been rather quiet up there, don't you think?"

Ayumu giggled even more. She was confident that Emma and Satoshi weren't doing anything lascivious. And as for Tatsuki, he had been checking up on them for the past hour. They were just sleeping, so he didn't worry as well.

"It's about time we wake them up, right?" Tatsuki asked.

"Let them rest. They had quite an exhausting day, after all." Ayumu suggested. "Why don't we cook more food?" She suggested.

"Good idea, let's cook another batch of hamburg steak. I'm sure Satoshi will finish everything later." Tatsuki agreed, walking towards the fridge and getting another batch.

Meanwhile, Aira, who had been looking for Emma and Satoshi since the afternoon, overheard the call, and she decided to quietly slink towards Satoshi's room. She had been looking forward to their afternoon walk today, but it was already nighttime and there were no signs of Emma and Satoshi around.

Gulping, Aira reached for the doorknob, slowly pushing it open. As expected, she saw Emma and Satoshi sleeping together on the bed. The cold blast of aircon hit her on the face, and she entered the room without hesitation.

Yawning, Aira climbed up the bed and scooted between Emma and Satoshi. The warmth was so comfortable that she instantly fell asleep. She turned towards Satoshi, hugging him as the cold air hit her in the face.

This wasn't the first time that the three of them slept together like this, but Aira felt like it had been so long since this happened. That's why she decided to relish the opportunity, literally getting in between Emma and Shiroi.

...

The mouth-watering aroma of dinner called out to Ayumu and Tatsuki's stomachs as they prepared the table. Even though it was just a normal day, there was so much food on the table that one would misunderstand it as a celebration.

Then again, this was a celebration of sorts. After all, Satoshi managed to win against his classmates and his homeroom teacher even without using his superpower. In the past, this wouldn't have been possible. But now, his confidence gave him newfound strength, and he managed to pull through despite the pressure placed on him.

"That smells good. I know this is supposed to be for Satoshi.... but I might eat more than expected." Tatsuki rubbed his stomach.

"We have more hamburg steaks by the kitchen counter. We'll just refill these once it's finished." Ayumu said.

"Now then... should I wake them up?" Tatsuki asked.

Before Ayumu could say anything, Tatsuki raised his voice. "Aira, Emma, Satoshi, it's time for dinner!" He announced.

There was no response. He was met with silence. As it turned out, they were sleeping deeper than he thought. An exhale left Tatsuki's mouth as he headed for the stairs. "I'll go wake them up." He continued.

When Tatsuki got to Satoshi's room, he didn't hesitate to open it. After all, he could sense that they were just sleeping. He was surprised to see that Aira joined in on the sleepover, causing a chuckle to come out of his mouth.

"What peace.... five minutes. Let's let them sleep for five more minutes. Yup, five more minutes." Tatsuki nodded as he slowly closed the door behind him.
