They did nothing else and each lay on one side, sleeping soundly.
But when they woke up, Lost Rose's clothes had somehow disappeared? If Otto had not known that they had really only slept last night, he would have suspected himself.
But why had I actually been able to sleep last night?
Had having two children made me more mature?
"Because... it feels safe." Lost Rose revealed a seductive smile. "I'm a traveler of the Sea of Quanta, and danger lurks everywhere there. Sudden situations can happen even while I'm asleep, so it's been a long time since I last took off my clothes to sleep..."
Lost Rose stared at Otto.
"But by your side, I feel safe enough to take off my clothes."
"Then if you want to use me next time, I'll have to charge you." Otto smiled as he sat up. Unlike Lost Rose, his clothes had become wrinkled in several places after a night of sleep.
"Can I use your card, then?" Lost Rose smiled. She reached for the small box on the bedside table. It was the birthday gift Otto had given her, and she took the ring from inside and placed it in her palm.
