Half-step Purgatory

For a long time, Malin always felt that Fate had been quite generous to him. Although he had to face that life-threatening job every day, as long as he had the lovely Leopard Girl cooking delicious food for him daily, and as long as there was meat to eat and cats to stroke, life wasn't too unbearable. Working a bit harder and facing some difficulties on the job weren't really an issue for a man.
Moreover, being able to live two lives meant one shouldn't have too high demands, right, Mr. Different-Kind?
Having said that, and without waiting for an answer, the young man snapped his fingers, and the white flame on his fingertip lit the tobacco in his other hand, then he flicked it towards the non-human entity on the stake.
Welcome to Abield, to witness the last splendor of the steampunk era.
And the madness.

Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

Once again, when Malin opened his eyes, he noticed Rewo lying on his chest... it was no wonder he felt a bit stuffy. It was a headache, really, as he patted the girl on the back, and after she woke up and rubbed her eyes, only then did she notice her crumbling façade.


The girl didn't bother to explain but flashed a sweet smile before Malin shooed her off himself.


Looking at his small hands, Malin turned his head to look at Rewo—it must have been because this silly girl was lying on top of him that Faye and the others hadn't woken him up.


Really now, is this girl part cat? But that can't be right either, Maya never sleeps like this.


With confusion, Malin got out of bed, put on his robe (the temperature in Carterburg was around five degrees that morning), and went downstairs with Rewo, also in her robe. He discovered that his girls were all wearing robes too, gathered around the fire, enjoying breakfast.
