An Extra’s POV

"Uhh…"

The next day arrived pretty quickly, and Rey woke up with a slight grunt, his eyes slowly opening up to the world around him.

The cause for his grunt wasn't the sudden exposure to light, or any stiffness in his body. No, he had long surpassed any of those inconveniences. The cause for his expression and reaction of discomfort was due to one reason alone.

~Master, good morning! Did you sleep well? Hehe… that was our first night together! Did you enjoy yourself? I know I did!~

"A good morning to you too…" Rey mumbled in a monotone voice as he rose from his soft and comfy bed.

Stretching his body, only out of habit, he also yawned.

His naked body stood immaculately, properly outlining his flawless form and well-toned muscles. Everything about him seemed to be maxed out—from the biceps, to the triceps, to the distribution of muscles all over his body. He had all the proper aesthetics to go with his slim body.

~P-perfection!~

"Why am I naked, Emil?" Rey mumbled.

He distinctly remembered going to bed in nightwear, so this current look surprised him.

~W-well, I just thought… being our first night together and all… and also for comfort, and, well…~

Rey rolled his eyes as he listened to her meaningless ramble. In all honesty, he didn't feel as conscious of his body as he used to. Pretty much all his classmates had seen his naked form, and the same applied to his Familiar.

All were yet to comment on his yogurt dispenser, so he took comfort in the fact that it didn't stand out—especially for the wrong reason.

~What are your plans for today, Master?~

"Just a few…" Rey mumbled. "There's going to be a Gala tonight, commemorating the near-completion of the Capital, so I'll have to attend."

Before that, he and the other Otherworlders would have to talk a walk around the city, greeting the locals and reassuring them of their safety—also going as far as thanking them for their perseverance.

'The party will be bothersome, but it would be nice to take a good walk with everyone.' He smiled to himself.
