The academy had sustained some damage after the whole ordeal. Thankfully, it had been close to the beginning of summer. Graduation was also held on time and finished smoothly.
"My boy has grown up so much..." Shirlette said while tearing up.
possibly trying to guilt trip her son
"Mother, I'm still here" Shin said holding her hand
Shirlette, "In a few months you'll be be leaving without me as well"
It wasn't that she couldn't go. She thought it was best for him to have more independence. Though it's hard, she has decided to stay here in Dion.
Wanting to cheer up his mother, Shin asked Shirlette to go out with him and do whatever she wants for the day.
She immediately cheered up and a carriage immediately pulled up right after.
It was if everything was planned
Shin, 'so quick!'
Shirlette, "First we'll have to pick some new clothes for you. Then some dessert, walk in Lunia Garden and maybe book shopping."
Shin just sighed and agreed with everything.

Ren had finished with his daily chores and decided to stay in his room for the day.
However...there had been something bothering him lately.
"I CAN'T FAP"
System, "..."
Having been transferred to a world with no technology similar to Earth, he was deprived of material for his...needs down there.
Ren, "System."
"...."
Ren, "SYSTEM"
"I am here to assist host on his mission. System is not here for host's personal needs"
Faced with this problem, he decided to go to the nearby town in search for something to satiate his needs.
The town of Sumi. Known to be bustling with vendors that sell a wide range of things. From books to jewels and magical items.
-I'm not committing a crime. I'm still going to pay. They just won't know.-
he thought to himself
Ren went into a secluded corner and activated his brooch.
"Match"
The system was completely silent throughout the day. It was definitely disappointed in its host.
'Give me a break system! It's not like I can just let anyone see me buying those when I'm a regular in this town working for a damn noble family. What would they think???'
Although it was the weekend, there wasn't a lot of people. Ren seemed it was strange but still went on with his mission. This was a dire situation for him. He won't he able to do his deeds again for another week if he retreats.
Ren, "I'm coming for you comrade!"

He remembered all of the fond memories he had of his stash back on Earth. Especially the Creamy Kira Kira Tart Monthly Special Edition he owned. He tried shrugging off the sadness he felt from his loss by thinking about the positives.
'This is a world of harem. I'll eventually find something. And maybe even start a relationship with someone' he thought

Shin and Shirlette had just arrived at Sumi and was going to one of the stores for new clothes. However the atmosphere there was different than usual. It was always busy and cheerful. Yet today the townspeople were quiet and some even seemed weary of each other.
Person A, "Have you heard? the bodies in     the cemetery all disappeared yesterday!"
Person B, "That's impossible. No one would've been able to move over a thousand bodies without any of us knowing."
Person A, "But it's true! I went there myself today...all the bodies were-"
"That's enough. What rubbish are you speaking to the other people? Do you know how much trouble that rumour has caused this town already?"
An annoyed looking lady said, interrupting the man.
"W-we're sorry miss Almira. If you'll excuse us", Person A hastily replied while urging his companion to follow him.
"This damn rumour is going to fuck up this town if this..." She muttered before leaving.
Shirlette decided to catch up to the woman.
"Excuse me miss! Do you need any help? Me and my son can assist you"
"No need. There's nothing for you to help with" The woman replied coldly
....
"Shin. Listen to me. We're going to investigate that cemetery. Something isn't right here" Shirlette said
This wasn't like her at all. She looked so serious and even a bit angry.
Shin was surprised to say the least.
'I don't know why mom's being like this but...if it's for her I'll do it'
"Alright mom. Let's head there" he replied
'for something like this to happen so close to home...' Shirlette thought.
She's already noticed the growing number of casualties around here.

Meanwhile, Ren was still on the hunt for fap material.
At first he took a look at some ordinary shops that did painting or illustrations but he didn't fancy anything since they weren't to his taste. The more he walked, the more the shops changed.
Eventually he gave up on illustrations and just planned on looking for some written papapa.
"This world is too cruel" he muttered
A certain shop had caught his eye. It was a small shop filled with stacks of books. Thankfully the door was already open so no one would notice him. Looking through them, he only found books about mundane things. That was until he looked at the farthest part of the room.
'this is...'
The poor guy had finally found something for his problem down there.
He was planning to check out more of the contents of the books but he realized that he couldn't take too long because he still had a few duties tonight.
Ren just grabbed a bunch of books from the shelf and created a distraction to put money on the counter and escape.
"Finallyy!" He said happily while putting the books in his bag.
"System, if ever you need to do it, I got you buddy."
The system was so disappointed in its owner that it wasn't planning to respond for a week.
Just as he was about to go home, he saw the familiar icy light blue hair he sees almost everyday.
Ren, "Shin?"
