[Emergency Maintenance Patch Notes And Compensation]

"...oh, right on time."

Just as I got back home, a new email arrived on both my phone and FIS-HUB, prompting me to open it on the latter. But before I started reading it, I took off my clothes and threw them into the washing machine before taking a comfortable one from the pile of clean clothes.

As I turned around searching for my towel, I could not find it anywhere in the laundry or in the clothes hanger. It also was not hung on the balcony.

"...right. My towel is still on the bed..."

Sighing at my laziness yet somewhat relieved that I did not panic around randomly, I got out from the laundry area and headed to my bed...

"Oh, you're finally........."

...and I was not expecting to see TIZ, standing on my bed as she stared in my direction.

"................................."

She was unusually silent, staring at my naked body with a stiff expression. I had no idea what she was thinking or why she was staring at me like that, but I quickly positioned my clothes in front of my private parts

That seemed to trigger a reaction from TIZ, as she quickly moved her head away.

"...I have no idea why you are naked, but why don't you get dressed like a normal person?"

"Did you get a nice view of my body?" I asked with a teasing voice. "It's not something you will see as often."

"...you better shut up before I decide to cut your manhood off."

Although she said those threatening words, her voice was shaking so bad I could not take her seriously. Even so, I stayed calm and pointed at my towel sprawled on the bed.

"My towel is right beside you." I had to struggle to keep myself from laughing. "I need to take that if I want to take a bath."

Instead of making a reply, she quickly flew past me like a phantom before getting into the FIS-HE's Capsule and disappeared. I was left alone in the room, standing naked while covering my own crotch.

Sighing at both her reaction and the current situation, I merely grabbed my towel before taking the FIS-HUB and headed to the bathroom. After positioning it in a nice place safe from any water splashes, I began to scroll through the emails and messages that I received when I was working.

"...where did you go to?" And much to my surprise, TIZ's voice suddenly came out from the FIS-HUB.

"I was working. There was an emergency, and I came for the money."

"...you get money from an emergency?"

"Not only I got overtime money for working on weekends, working during an emergency also gave me even more."

"So that is the reason why the FIS-HE was working intensively for the past few hours," she stated, her voice somewhat subdued.

"...did something happen to you because of that?"

"No, but I was surprised that there were a lot of things moving back and forth," she replied, a hint of concern in her voice. "If anything, I was worried that something happened to you. Because this happened when you are not here."

"I'm okay. The work this time around is exhausting, but it is not life threatening or anything like that."

"...well, as long as nothing bad happened..." she trailed off, a hint of relief lacing her words.
