The Arrival of the Songstress's Tragedy and the Nightmare

She even seemed to be fighting over something, yanking Natsumi out of Russell's arms and holding her at her side.

She looked like she was about to split the household right then and there.

But when the man saw this, he merely blinked, circled around behind her, pulled the girl into his arms, gently bit her earlobe, and kissed her cheek when her body stiffened slightly.

The indignation on the girl's face immediately diminished by half.

"If no one plays games with me, I'll die."

He spouted utter nonsense.

The Emperor was so accurate in shooting games that it was like he had an aimbot. Gawain was also a master of Mount and Blade, and even Zaro loved management strategy games.

Skadi, Yoyo, and Kiana all liked playing games too.

"Russell and I are going out to take care of something tonight. Can you watch the house alone?"

"Mm, I'll bring you candied hawthorn."
