After complaining, Akari sighed and stood up, gently tugging at her collar. Even she felt she dressed a little too conservatively, hardly like a girl of this era.
Would it be better to wear something lighter? She wanted to try wearing a skirt, but she hated being looked at differently.
"Maybe I'd better not... He wouldn't mind how I dress anyway."
Akari shook her head, then glanced at Zorua, who was chasing Meltan nearby. She waved and called softly, "Playtime's over. Come take a bath~"
"Zorua~"
Zorua answered, still wanting to play a little longer. Akari could only put off bathing Zorua for now, then turned to Ogerpon, who was mopping the floor.
"Ogerpon, want to take a bath together?"
"Pon?"
Ogerpon stopped and noticed the dirt and dust on her cloak. She had gotten them that morning while helping Snivy train. She really was a little dirty.
"Pon~"
All right, then~
Ogerpon nodded. But Mingyou, who was sharing her feelings and waiting for midnight to log out on the dot for a late-night snack, froze.
What?
Not sleeping together, but bathing together?
Wait... I can't do that!
Panic surged through Mingyou. He wasn't that kind of person. He would never cross a line like that.
He hurried to log out, only to discover that no matter how he tried, he couldn't break the connection. It was like joining a game only to find someone had removed the logout button.
"What... is going on?"
Mingyou was baffled. This shouldn't be happening. He had logged out just fine while synchronized with Meltan yesterday. Had something gone wrong because he had been synchronized with Ogerpon for too long? Or was there another reason?
Why did it have to go wrong now?
By then, he was too panicked to think much further. Akari,
