Just Completing Quests Part II

"And what about our troublemaker? How was he yesterday? Did he cause any issues while I wasn’t here?"

"Uh, well, that place..."

"Uh!?"

"What—!?"

As Rin tried to warn him, Dani had already sat down, realizing too late that he had landed on something much harder than a sofa cushion. Worse, it let out a yelp, prompting him to jump up immediately.

"What the heck!?"

It was some kind of lump curled up under a bright pink cat-patterned blanket, which was slowly starting to move.

"What is this!?" Dani shouted.

As the pink blanket slid down, it revealed a familiar figure sitting up with knees pulled close, his face groggy, black hair messy, and those steely eyes glancing around in a daze as if trying to figure out what was going on.

"Joker? Why are you sleeping here?"

"Oh, Mr. Dani? Good morning. Miss Rin and Miss Kaew, too. Have you all been here long?"
