"So, a player really did attack Mom?"

"...That's right."

Kiyono Makoto opened one eye, his gaze falling on Sawamura Sayuri, and activated the entry observation.

[Entry: Deeply a Fujoshi (Blue)]

[Entry for: Ageless Beauty (Purple)]

[Entry: Flat-chested Alien (Blue)]

[Entry: Intelligent (Blue)]

[Entry: Cursed (Temporary)]

……

This is the first time I've seen a temporary entry like Kiyono Makoto, but I can only help purify it, not strip it, otherwise the person would be gone.

That said, compared to Otakuri, Mrs. Sayuri, who is fast asleep in the bathtub, seems much cuter...

"A notification popped up on the character panel. I'm purifying the 'curse.' Once physical contact is broken, the purification will fail. Pick up Auntie now, or we'll have to start all over again later." Kiyono Makoto knelt on the ground, his tone calm. "So I just helped with the purification."

Eriri bit her lower lip tightly: "...I'll go get you a stool."

After saying that, Eriri quickly turned around and brought over a small bamboo stool:

"It's more comfortable to sit on a stool."

Thank you.

Kiyono Makoto sat down on the small stool.

"The person who should be saying thank you is clearly me..."

Eriri looked anxiously at her unconscious mother, her voice filled with gratitude.

My mother suddenly fainted in the bathtub and couldn't wake up even after slipping into the water. It was extremely dangerous no matter how you looked at it.

If Kiyono Makoto hadn't reminded me, I'd probably still be drawing in my notebook and wouldn't be taking a bath with my mother. My mother might have...

Eriri quickly shook her head, banishing the terrifying image from her mind. She half-squatted down and grasped Sayuri's right hand: "Could we use Kato's doll to find the one who cursed Mommy?"

“It’s highly unlikely to work.” Kiyono Makoto calmly shook his head. “Dolls can only point out the general direction, not pinpoint the exact location. The real world is not a dungeon; the population is exploding. If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy… Don’t be impulsive; let’s plan carefully.”

Eriri clenched her fists:

"……I see."

A moment later.

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and released his hands:

"The curse has been successfully purified."

It was easily resolved in just a few minutes. Clearly, Mrs. Sayuri's curse was quite ordinary, far less severe than Hinako Fukami's curse.

"Is Mom alright?"

Eriri's eyes lit up, and she quickly looked towards the bathtub, just in time to see Sawamura Sayuri, whose eyes had been closed, now her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she opened her eyes hazily.

"Oh no, that idiot Seino is still here."

In a moment of panic, Eriri quickly reached out her right hand and swiftly covered Sawamura Sayuri's eyes, then hurriedly turned to Kiyono Makoto and winked.

"Go back to your room right now!"

"..."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, then quickly got up and quietly left the bathroom.

The bathroom was right next to the toilet. Luckily, he had been there before, so he didn't get lost. He quickly returned to Zhai Li's room.

"Eri, why are you covering my eyes?"

Sawamura Sayuri's voice was blank.

"I just saw a really big mosquito, and I'm worried it will bite my mom."

Eriri moved her hands away as she spoke.

Sawamura Sayuri looked around, her tone hesitant:

"Strange, I think I just saw a boy..."

"Mom must have seen wrong," Eriri quickly denied. "You must have been dreaming while you were asleep."

"Huh... I fell asleep?"

Sawamura Sayuri raised her hand to cover her forehead, her delicate brows furrowing slightly:

"My memory is indeed a bit fragmented... I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I'm always super tired, and I feel like I'm never getting enough sleep."

"but……"

Little Lily blinked, her tone slightly surprised:

"I don't know why, but I feel incredibly relaxed now, and I don't feel tired at all."

Eriri secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease.

"It must be because taking a bath is so comfortable... Mom, get up quickly."

Eriri doesn't plan to tell her mother about the curse.

Firstly, Xiaobaihe is just an ordinary person, and she will definitely care a lot if she finds out that she is cursed. Secondly, it will expose her player identity, which will be more troublesome. It is enough for her to carry the burden on her own.

"Get up, get up."

Sawamura Sayuri yawned, stood up from the bathtub, and quickly realized the problem:

"That's strange, Eriri's face is super red, like she just had her naked seen by a boy."

Eriri looked away guiltily, denying it aloud:

"What? You'll definitely blush when you take a bath, right? Mom, don't talk nonsense. Let's go back to our room."

"..."

A moment later.

The mother and daughter returned to the master bedroom together.

"I feel so relaxed and super energetic. I'm not sleepy at all today." Sayuri Sawamura clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her daughter. "I've been feeling unwell these past few days, and I haven't been able to catch up on so many manga and new anime. Eriri-chan, want to watch anime with Mommy?"

"No way!" Eriri said helplessly, hands on her hips. "Mom is so old, she should go to bed early and get up early. Staying up late is really bad for her health."

"Mom is only eighteen years old, she's still very young." Sayuri Sawamura looked at her pitifully. "Dad isn't coming home tonight, Eriri, you don't want Mom to be all alone, do you?"

"...I just can't do anything with you."

Eriri sighed helplessly and turned to walk outside.

"I'll only watch two episodes of the new anime with Mom, no more... I'm going to the restroom now."

"..."

This is a lie.

After arriving in the hallway, Eriri didn't go to the restroom, but instead sneaked back to her room.

"Idiot Kiyono, I'm back."

Eriri carefully closed the door and quickly walked to Makoto Kiyono's side.

Eyes facing each other.

Eriri recalled the scenes in the bathroom, her fair face flushing slightly. She looked away and whispered:

"That bastard who cursed Mom, could he possibly barge in?"

"Putting myself in their shoes, it's highly unlikely." Kiyono Makoto interlaced his fingers, his tone calm. "Players in reality are hunters in the dark forest, and they generally won't actively reveal their identities. I just cleansed the curse on Auntie, and the other party will most likely notice and know that a player has appeared next to Auntie."

"We don't know about the other side, and the other side doesn't know about us either."

"Both sides are currently operating in the shadows. The evil player who targeted Auntie should be extremely vigilant and unlikely to take any risks."

Eriri was still a little worried:

"It's better to be safe than sorry. What if that bastard actually comes?"

"Then we can only deal with whatever comes our way." Kiyono Makoto tapped his knee lightly with his fingers and said in a low voice, "The daily intelligence is updated at midnight, and it's not far from midnight. Hopefully, we'll get some useful intelligence."

"I'll head over now." Eriri waved and whispered, "I'll come back around midnight. Don't fall asleep, you idiot Seino."

"Don't worry, I can't sleep right now."

"..."

(Bonus chapter! Another bonus chapter for [Anrang]!)

Chapter 92 You actually want to sleep with me?

It's 11:40.

The door was quietly pushed open.

Seiji Kiyono, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, immediately held his breath and looked over warily.

"You idiot, Kiyono, I'm back..."

A blonde girl wearing bunny pajamas slipped in—it was Eriri.

"Mom is already asleep."

Upon seeing that the visitor was Takumi, Seino Makoto relaxed:

"Since no players have invaded this late, it's highly likely that no one will come."

Click.

A low rumble of thunder suddenly came from outside the window.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and a torrential downpour began.

"The weather was so nice during the day, why did it suddenly start raining?"
