Seiji woke up while the sky was still dark, the moon casting a soft glow through the window. He knew he had to get an early start on his quest, so he dragged himself out of bed and headed straight for the shower. He wanted to be clean and refreshed for the journey ahead, especially since he had no idea when he would next have the opportunity.
After his shower, Seiji dressed himself in the leather armor and pants he had purchased. He also equipped the dagger he had bought, securing it in his waist belt. Feeling prepared and ready for action, he opened the door and made his way downstairs.
As he descended, he spotted Mrs. Lin alone at the counter, her eyes still heavy with sleep. She smiled at the sight of Seiji, her eyes sparkling with mischief. She checked her surroundings to ensure they were alone, then leaned in and kissed him passionately, her lips locking with his.
