Watching over Lady Mina rest in her room, I didn't even bother sleeping at all. But I don't care, I just don't like seeing Mina in her condition. Finally being able to see her again just to find out that she was pushing herself for the sake of this country. I don't know about the oracle of Leanbox, but Lady Histoire said that she's giving the oracle of Leanbox a hand and there's Lady Mina who is solely taking care of this nation and the twins.

As time flies by, by the window, I can see the sun is slowly rising up. I can't tell what time it is and I am now feeling sleepy for me to check the time. I try to stay up and open my eyes, but I couldn't hold it anymore. And with that, my eyes shut down, not being able to know when or where I have fallen asleep.

???: Perseus....
???: Perseus.....wake up.

Someone is poking me by the shoulders. I open my eyes and I realize that I fell asleep on top of Lady Mina's thigh. I lift my body up and I stretch my arms as I yawn.

Mina: Heavens, why didn't you sleep in your own room?

Perseus: I was watching over you.

Lady Mina's face reddens as I said those words. Well, despite her matured nature, Lady Mina is a young maiden, of course, she will be embarrassed for a guy like me to watch over her and taking care of her.

Mina: I.....never thought that someone would be able to take care of me.

Perseus: It's part of my job. We're family, right? I ought to take care of you when you are sick.

Mina: I...thank you for that. But I am feeling better now, so if you allow me to-

As Lady Mina tries to stand up, I stop her from doing so.

Perseus: Lie down, I'm sure the twins will be back soon. It is morning, I'm sure they were staying in Leanbox for the night. So rest assured, I'll be staying here until you feel better.

Mina nods in agreement and I exit her room and I am greeted by both IF and Compa who was waiting for me outside.

IF: I knew you stayed up all night.

Perseus: Like I have any other choice.

Compa: Why not you take a nap, Mr. Percy? I can take care of Lady Mina for you.

Perseus: Please do, but I'll be fine. I'll just head outside and walk around as usual.

Both IF and Compa nods in response and they enter Lady Mina's room while I leave the area and head my way towards the exit. But 2 girls suddenly came in from the entrance, no doubt it's Rom and Ram. As they see me, they ready their wands like I am some sort of threat to them.

Ram: Careful Rom! An intruder!

Rom: An intruder?

Ram: Look! We don't know that man. He could be an intruder.

Rom: Uh.....Ram....I don't think he's an intruder.

Calling me an intruder on our first meeting? I can't blame Ram since we haven't seen each other for a very long time but it looks like Rom still remembers me.

Rom: That's Mr. Perseus.

Ram: Perseus? The Perseus?

Rom nods in response. With realization, the twins look at each other and they suddenly came down running to me and the two of them hugs me and I hug them back.

Ram: Oh Perseus! Oh, I am glad to finally meet you again!

Rom: We miss you, Mr. Perseus.

Perseus: Oh well, I miss you both too.
