Yuuki lazily lying on the sofa in the living room, just casually and boringly scrolling on the internet. As he watches random videos, one of them suddenly catches his attention. It shows two cats playing what seems to be air hockey in the recorder's home. He almost couldn't believe his eyes. A functioning air hockey inside the house? Surely there is no way this is possible. He quickly searches on his browser and it is true: you can buy an air hockey table along with its equipment.

Yuuki gets up and looks over at the staircase that leads to the entertainment floor of the house and spends some time pondering whether he should buy it or not.

"Tangganya kayak sempit, bisa masuk gak? Tapi kan bisa juga itu, diapa? di-disassemble baru bawa mi ke bawah." He nods. "Humm, bisa juga."

As it starts to rain, he leans back on the sofa and chats with the merchant about the price, transport, disassembling and reassembling, etc. It takes a few minutes but Yuuki decides to buy it using the same-day delivery.

"Thank you for your purchase! The product will arrive in the evening."

In the evening. Lama juga ya.

Yuuki returns to lazying around but only for a short time as he tries to busy himself with other activities, including but not limited to: strolling around the house and appreciating the plants and flowers, playing Reverse 1999 and Snowbreak, making himself a shawarma (delicious!), and whatever thing he can think of. Flora is out with her friends, so… Oh well. Even I am running out of ideas on what to write here.

Yuuki boringly waits until the evening, when he finally receives a notification telling that the product is on the way and it'll arrive soon. He excitedly anticipates the arrival and is ready to help, however, he'll be more likely to just watch.

Meanwhile on the road, Flora is having a lively conversation with her friends as she's being driven back home by them.

"Your friend's house is pretty far, are you sure we're going the right way?" Comments one of them.

"Yeah, this is going out of town." Another added.

Flora then replies to them, "Yeah he lives pretty far out. Just keep going."

"Does he live alone?"

"Technically no, but it feels like it."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, let's just say he… has a butler."

"Oh, a butler. Cool!" Girl A says.

In Heaven, it is common for people, especially earthlings, to hire butlers and servants to aid them and attend to their chores. These butlers and servants are mostly Heaven natives, including Charles. There are human butlers and servants as well. Though their Heaven counterpart is superior in terms of stamina and loyalty, the human ones' services are just as high quality as theirs.

Flora and friends continue their conversation in the car.

"Wait, he lives by himself, right?" Girl B asks.

"Mhm," Flora nods.

"And you live with him?" Her tone increases slightly.

"Yes."

"He's not doing anything to you, right?"

Girl B's question attracts the attention of everyone in the car. Flora tries to clear their suspicion with a little bit of aggression.

"Hey, if anything happens to me then I wouldn't be here with you guys right now!"

"Haha, chill, girl! We're just a little worried about you, that's all," Girl A says
