Finish the day.

The sun journeys across the sky towards the horizon. You settle in for another dinner prepared by Summer, but this time it isn't completely destroyed by gallons of honey. She does include some in a dipping cup regardless, even though she already prepared honey garlic porkchops. You can't help but wonder why nobody else was given the same thing. When you don't really touch the dip yourself, Summer takes it and begins licking it up. It isn't that you want it to go to waste. It's just... way, way too much honey.

You retreat to your room and begin to undress. While the day itself wasn't exhausting, you're still lost in thought about the meeting from before. Nobody has tried contacting you with the magic mirror yet, and you consider doing it first, but you probably shouldn't be the **** one that immediately calls the other back. It isn't like you have much to say, and the last thing you want to do is make a fool of yourself in front of those deemed as Demon Kings.

It's a lovely room even if it's a little under furnished for now. The bed is squishy and the blankets are soft. You place your hands down over the quilt. It's finely made. You could roll all around the bed without falling off with how large it is.

You're down to your underwear when you hear a knock on the door. "Who is it?" you ask.

"It's me," comes a voice in response--an unhelpful one. Fortunately, you do recognize it as Eva despite it being quiet.

"What's up?"

"Can I come in?"

"I'm changing right now."

The door slowly creaks open. Eva takes a step through the crack and peeks inside. She sinks back with a quiet gasp when she sees your manner of dress, but then she slowly creeps back in to eye you over. "Sorry," she whispers.

"I literally said I was changing." You stand apathetically. There's no reason to cover anything up. "Did you need something?"

"I'm having trouble sleeping... Can you go for a walk with me? I don't want to go out alone."

"Well, all right. Let me just get dressed again. I guess I'm not too sleepy either."

She smiles with rosy cheeks. "Thank you. I'll meet you outside." Then she quietly shuts the door and you hear her footfalls disappearing into the distance.

I guess I don't mind doing that. As alluring as the new bed looks right now, I'd be a fool to give up spending some alone time with a cute girl. Plus it's Eva. We've been through so much together. Seems like an honest request. As you think to yourself, you retrieve your comfortable, fancier home attire you haven't worn in awhile. You're finally not leaving to go work on something, or fight some kind of terrible beast. For a peaceful walk, you slip on your clothes and leave your weapon behind. Nights can be dangerous, but within the walls of Castle Phoenix, you feel comfortable. You also can't help but feel so much stronger than when you first arrived in this world even without a sword in your hand.

You turn the knob and proceed to the hall, which leads you to the castle's front doorway.
