"Fluffy ...... ah?

Feeling the dazzling sunlight through his eyelids, Allen wriggles.

Eventually, he came to a clearer awareness. His body ached in many places, and he remembered where he was sleeping.

He pulled his face off the desk.

"Huh, ......, that's crazy. When did you fall asleep ......?

I stretched my stiff body on the chair.

The fresh morning sun was streaming in through the window.

This was Allen's study. The walls were lined with bookshelves, and here and there on the floor were piles of books that hadn't made it onto the shelves.

Last night, he had been holed up here, thinking.

My intention was to finish up at the end of the day, but it seems I got carried away until I was just about to fall asleep.

I'm sorry ......, but I had so many ideas. It's worth the time.

On the desk where he had been propped up was a closed notebook.

Allen held it up and smiled.

On the cover was written.

"Charlotte's Training Plan: A Tentative List of Naughty Things".

If Charlotte saw it, she would have rolled her eyes and said, "What's this? If Charlotte saw it, she would have rolled her eyes.

Allen flipped it over. The page was filled with his own handwriting. He gently traces the first line with his finger.

"The cake is good. It's good.

A flower circle appeared on the word "cake".

To Allen, Charlotte was just a stranger he met by chance.

But that had changed yesterday.

Allen has promised to teach her all the pleasures of the world.

Yesterday's cakes were well received.

She ate three in total, savoring them slowly. She said she would save the rest of the cakes and eat them one by one every day.

Allen felt very good because he never thought that a piece of cake would make her so happy.

However, ...... food alone is not enough.

There's more. ...... There's more. ...... There's more.

So I twisted my brain and thought about this and that until late at night. This is the note.

"C'mon ......, my genius brain has come up with an ingenious plan. I'm sure it'll work wonders on Charlotte!　Let's check it out first!

And so I looked over the list.

And there it was...

Write a groundbreaking magical theory paper.

Create magical tools out of ridiculously valuable materials.

Put all the fools who dare oppose you through a full course of living hell.

Et cetera, et cetera.

............ I'm pretty sure Charlotte won't be pleased.

The only person who will be happy about this is Allen.

The midnight tension produced nothing but garbage.

Allen throws away his notebook and leaves the chair.

I'll think about it again after I go back to sleep at .......

Then he left the study.

"Oh!

Oh.

I bumped into Charlotte.

She rolls her eyes for a moment, then bows her head as if she's just realized something.

"Oh, good morning. Mr. Allen. You're up early. ......

"No. I just fell asleep in my study.

You were up all night?　No, no, it's not healthy.

It's ...... and I'm going back to bed.

Allen chuckled at her panic.

If he knew that she had stayed up all night thinking about Charlotte, he would be even more upset.

So Allen decided to never say why.

So breakfast is not necessary. You're on your own.

"Okay, okay. Shall I wake you at noon?

Yeah, please. What's ......, by the way?

What's that?　It's a broom.

Then I noticed what Charlotte was holding.

It was a broom that must have been lying in the storeroom. It was covered in dust because she didn't use it much, but apparently Charlotte had taken care of it.

She held it carefully and smiled at me.

I thought I'd clean the front door. Oh, no, ......?

No, there's nothing wrong with that, but ...... I didn't ask you to do that.
