''Big brother, you're back,'' Gracier said as she threw herself into her brother's chest, and Alex, who had seen her coming, immediately embraced his sister, comforting her as he could feel her anxiety. She must be worried about what happened, not knowing how the discussion between her brother and the emperor went; she was waiting for him to come back to know if her brother had lost big.
''I'm back. Where are the others?" Alex asked while caressing his sister's hair.
''They are waiting in the meeting room,'' Gracier responded before heading toward the meeting room.
Soon Alex saw the others waiting for him.
''How it was?'' Maria asked the moment she saw Alex and Gracier walking in.
After taking a seat, he told them how things went.
"I see, so now we can raid dungeons without hesitation from now on?" It was Sakuya who asked this question.
''Well yeah, but this doesn't mean you should create trouble now that you got a free pass. Don't destroy another dungeon, please, I'm begging you.'' Alex said, and the others could feel that he was not joking; they all nodded their heads.
''I'm going to sleep for a while. I need to rest; even though I'm not tired physically, I'm more exhausted mentally after playing with Leandra. By the way, she is really cute; you should have seen her face when she pouts. It's so adorable.'' Alex told them before excusing himself, leaving the girls alone.
Maria and the others exchanged a look, amused that Alex played games with Leon's little sister. As women, they couldn't wait to meet that little girl who made Alex so happy. He was smiling all the time that he talked about Leandra, almost like a father who was extremely proud of his daughter. To what extent that they wonder what kind of wonderful father he would make for their future children. This made them laugh, thinking about the future.
The girls chatted until evening, and together they cooked dinner, which they all shared with Alex before he left, saying he must catch up with his friend Leon.
''They probably gonna tour all bars tonight,'' Saeko said, watching Alex leave.
''Well, that's men for you. What shall we do tonight?'' Luna asked as she was feeling nostalgic; she wished they could play.
''I'm not feeling well. Sorry, I'll go to sleep. Maybe next time.'' Gracier said before excusing herself. Saeko wished to play with the others as it would be her first time, but finally, she decided not to participate in tonight's game; she would instead accompany Gracier than play. She was closer to Gracier than the others, and as her friend, she wished to be there for her.
''I will be leaving as well,'' Saeko said before following Gracier.
p
Luna thought for a moment before suggesting.
''Let's share one of our secrets.''
''Wow! Let's do that.'' Sakuya nodded, already selecting which secret to share. Maria and Artemia nodded. They moved toward Maria's room.
Meanwhile, Gracier, after pushing Saeko to sleep, first sat on the bed in contemplation. After some time, she called out her status.

''Sigh! I thought I would have gained one or two skills, but unfortunately, I didn't get anything. However, it feels like my stats increased when I was in that state; also, I wish to destroy things. Hmmh! Let's hope it's temporary, and I can get rid of this side effect, or else I might be forced to seal this wonderful ability."
''Ah! Let's sleep for now and continue thinking about it later.''
•••••
''Who will start first?" Maria asked after they changed into their pajamas and sat forming a circle.
''I will be the one to talk first,'' Sakuya said before licking her lips.
''There was one day I went out alone, and men couldn't stop hitting on me. One extremely persistent person refused to leave as I was shopping. I racked my brain to find something to say to make leave, but nothing came to my mind until I got an idea.''
The others were all silent, waiting for Sakuya to tell them.
''I told him that I'm transsexual. He fled even before I could even finish my sentence. That day I laughed until my belly hurt. From that onward, I found the perfect solution for men that harass me.''
Both Maria and Luna laughed hard; it was their first time hearing their friends share something like this. Now their thought about it, there was that time when a man saw Sakuya and fled as soon they met; he was quivering as if he had seen a ghost. It was now that the two understood the reason behind the young man's behavior.
''What is a transsexual?" Artemia, who had heard for the first time about the word transsexual, could not help but ask.
''Ah!" Luna exclaimed, finally remembering that there was someone among them who wouldn't know what that word meant.
''Transsexual refers to somebody who has had sex reassignment surgery,'' Sakuya explained.
It took a few seconds for Artemia to register what the Sakuya meant, and soon she burst into laughter.
''Poor guy, he must have gotten the scar of his life. Next, it's my turn.'' Artemia laughing said.
It was her turn now to share one of her secrets.
