Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

"So, where should we go for fun tomorrow? After all, we only had half a day together today."

Gao Hai hesitated slightly. Thinking about what would happen later, he tried to persuade Zhenfei.

"No need, you fickle guy. There are plenty of people waiting for you. I'm already very happy today, I don't need to ask for more."

Maki's voice was firm, clearly indicating that the young woman would not easily change what had already been arranged.

Return to the room.

The girl casually pulled up the curtains, blocking out the night outside.

Although Gao Hai had considered using his mental power to cleanse his body directly, he temporarily abandoned the idea when he saw Zhenfei add water to the bathtub.

Soon, Maki called Gao Hai to come and take a bath. Gao Hai readily complied, calmly changing out of his swim trunks and sitting in the bathtub. He assumed Maki would join him soon, but after a while, after hearing the rustling of Maki changing her swimsuit, he felt a small foot land on his back. Turning around, he saw the fair-skinned, jade-like girl sitting behind him, watching him with a gentle smile.

"You're staring so intently, you pervert! Turn around, I'll give you a massage."

Zhenfei spoke softly, and Gao Hai obediently turned around, but it seemed that the smile on his face and the temperature on his body would not come down anytime soon.

However, considering what's going to happen next, there's no need to cool it down.

Thinking this, Gao Hai then felt the soft touch on his back, experiencing the girl's carefully controlled and very comfortable massage pressure. Considering that she was massaging him with her feet, and in that manner, Gao Hai felt a flame ignite in his heart that he couldn't extinguish.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"

The girl, who had clearly noticed some changes in Gao Hai, couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, of course, it feels incredibly good, and I'm almost unable to resist. It's definitely better to shower together; I was just thinking of giving my lovely wife a massage anyway~"

As he said this, Gao Hai turned around, grasped Zhen Fei's small feet, and pulled her into his arms.

Splash—splash—

"What are you doing, you idiot?"

The girl's slightly coquettish scolding rang out along with the splashing water, but her body showed no intention of resisting at all, instead smoothly lying down in Gao Hai's arms.

Amidst their laughter, warm steam slowly seeped onto the bathroom glass, spreading like mist.

The night is still very, very long.

And this ordinary yet sweet day continues on.

As night deepened, dewdrops gently fell from the leaves, silently dripping onto the soil.

The noodle vendor, preparing to start his day early, has already begun kneading the dough, his fingers gently rubbing the dough, a smile appearing on his face as he works hard.

The bright moonlight pierced through the clouds and fell to the ground, but was quickly obscured, and then a few rays of light and shadow secretly peeked out.

It wasn't until the sun shone on the second day and everything came back to life that a certain somewhat reluctant figure, after being teased by his girlfriend, reluctantly opened his eyes.

"Sleeping in so early in the morning is a really bad habit, and... Ugh, you're already like this even though you're not fully awake? You're such a born pervert, how did I end up with you? I just can't do anything with you."

Having been somewhat corrupted by Chika, Maki, after waking up first, decided to try to appease and suppress Takahashi.

Unsurprisingly, Gao Hai, who was initially sleepy and reluctant to get up, was awakened by the girl's bold attempt and quickly broke free of the bed's seal.

However, these little squabbles between couples are not something that needs to be described in detail.

Interlude 4-18: I'm also really looking forward to the day I give birth to Kai-kun's baby!

It wasn't until nearly 11 a.m. that Gao Hai and Zhen Fei finally got out of bed.

A few rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting their light into the somewhat messy room.

Maki, who had sat up first, tried to stand up, but her legs gave way and she sat back down on the bed. After catching her breath, she finally managed to stand up. Even after standing, the girl walked unsteadily. She felt somewhat helpless about this and realized that Takahashi was no longer someone she could fight one-on-one.

Ah, I don't know where the clothes went... Ah, I found them, but only one-fifth of them.

This guy is really going too far.

"Get up, Kai-kun."

Seeing that the clothes she wore last night were torn to shreds, Maki shook her head. She first sent a message to the company's maid stationed here to deliver new clothes to the door. Then, barefoot on the floor, she went around to the other side of the bed and nudged Gao Hai, who was still asleep on the bed.

For Gao Hai, whose life form has transcended that of ordinary humans, he could easily go for days and nights without sleeping if he wanted to. Therefore, he was currently just maintaining his old routine and was sleeping very lightly. Maki woke him up with just a gentle nudge.

open one's eyes.

In the soft sunlight filtering through the curtains, Maki's long, flowing hair fell onto Takahashi's cheek, as if shimmering with light.

I just woke up this morning and saw something nice.

Good morning, little Zhenfei.

Feeling cheerful, Gao Hai smiled at Zhen Fei and stretched as he sat up from the bed.

slam-la-

The sound of running water quickly filled the shower.

Because they had played a lot of games the night before, and because Maki didn't really want to use her mental powers to cleanse herself directly, the two of them took a bath together after getting up, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

At least Gao Hai himself seemed to enjoy it.

"This delays the exchange time... I wonder what others will think of me. Will they think I'm cheating? It feels a little unfair to the others. And you, you're far too sexually frustrated. You were just last night... and yet you're already so energetic this morning..."

In the warm steam, the girl spoke with a hint of complaint, tapping Gao Hai's shoulder beside her with a disgruntled expression.

"I can't help it, after all, my Zhenfei is just too cute, and she even did such a good morning greeting, so I definitely have to respond properly, right?"

Gao Hai, naturally, was shameless and showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He even deliberately hugged Zhen Fei from behind after noticing that her vision was obscured as she started washing her hair, causing the girl to mutter a few words like "What are you doing?" After a few struggles, their breaths overlapped once again.

"Alright, alright, we still have important things to do."

"Aren't we doing the right thing right now?"

After a few words tinged with laughter and helplessness, what should have been a shower that would have lasted at most half an hour was extended to nearly an hour.

The rising heat had now completely filled the entire shower room.

The two figures who had been playing a cooperative game in the bathroom temporarily ended as the petite figure struggled to escape.

"It's really hard to imagine that the Kai-kun I met back in Shirakawa Apartments has turned out like this. How come I didn't notice before... No, that's not right. Actually, I did notice before. You started showing your true colors after the first mission, but I just didn't realize it then."

Finally, after being disturbed by Gao Hai, Maki finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom. After drying herself off, she looked up at the man who had followed her out and complained.

This time, she deliberately kept a little distance and faced Gao Hai directly to avoid being ambushed and tackled by him.

In terms of strategy alone, Maki didn't make any mistakes, but she overlooked one thing: the still energetic Takahashi wouldn't be deterred by her little actions. On the contrary, after realizing that her opponent had adopted a defensive stance and it was difficult to launch a sneak attack, Takahashi immediately became determined and decisively chose to attack head-on, rushing forward and picking Maki up.

"Wait...wait a minute, it's almost noon, time for lunch, and I just took a shower."

Maki, whose body was already somewhat weak and limp, was completely unable to struggle. In her panic, she could only try to find a reason to calm Takahashi down.

"In that case, let me feed Little Zhenfei this time."

However, these few words obviously couldn't really cool Gao Hai down. At this moment, when he was already impatient, Gao Hai could be said to be an unstoppable powerhouse.

So, after the battle mode between the two finally entered the settlement state, and after Gao Hai carried the completely exhausted Zhen Fei to take another bath, it was around 2 PM.

"How can there be such a perverted person with insatiable desires? I really don't know what to say."

Exhausted, the girl lay in Gao Hai's arms, letting him use the showerhead to wash away the dirt on her body. However, she didn't spare Gao Hai at all, and complained to him for a long time with great dissatisfaction.

Of course, despite displaying this attitude, Maki herself didn't actually blame Takami for her emotions; it was just that she couldn't avoid them due to her personality. Therefore, Takami just laughed it off, letting Maki's words go in one ear and out the other, completely ignoring them.

When Gao Hai finally got dressed and went out, he was still full of energy after several battles. With the blessing power constantly replenishing his energy, he showed no signs of fatigue. As for Zhen Fei beside him, she was already completely full and didn't need to eat lunch.

"My stomach is so bloated...and I feel so nauseous..."

With her mouth covered, Zhenfei gazed resentfully at Gao Hai beside her.

"Could it be that she's already pregnant?"

Gao Hai immediately showed a look of surprise.

"How could I possibly get pregnant through my mouth? I could barely breathe just now. Ugh... this feeling of my stomach being so full is really uncomfortable."

Princess Zhenfei frowned, her expression appearing somewhat angry.

"But we really haven't taken any precautions, have we? It's been two months now, and I'm still quite curious whether she's pregnant or not."

Gao Hai didn't respond to Zhenfei's slight emotional outburst, but continued speaking solemnly. Upon hearing this, Zhenfei quickly realized the problem.

It's true, ever since the Red Nut Gray Hole dungeon ended, and after truly breaking through to the final step with Kaijun, neither I, Fujiwara, nor the others who joined later took any precautions; we all went straight for the kill.

If we count from then, it's been over two months now. If it really is there, it might happen very soon...

Realizing the crucial issue, Consort Zhen paused for a moment, then subconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

Gao Hai, who was standing beside him, also stopped and lowered his head to scan Zhenfei's body with his mental power.

Well, it seems not yet...

This result did not surprise Gao Hai.

While a player's physical attributes are enhanced through blessings and enhancements, their ability to conceive weakens. Even without any protection, players often find it difficult to get pregnant, and even if they do, their ability to conceive usually regresses within a few days.

The reason for this situation, after investigation by many players, lies in the changes in the player's body. Leaving aside the external stimuli such as the perilous encounters with monsters in dungeons, the surviving players often obtain various items and enhanced powers after each dungeon run, with a few even receiving blessed enhancements. These enhancements cause the player's physical condition to drastically change every month, with every cell in the body constantly undergoing transformation. Within these changes, the continuous alteration of the reproductive system can have serious adverse effects on the fetus. Therefore, conception becomes extremely difficult for players, since the fetus doesn't evolve along with the player.

Over the past two months, Gao Hai and his girls have received various blessings, gaining significant power-ups after each instance of a dungeon run. However, the changes in their internal bodies caused by these power-ups have also created difficulties for conception. Therefore, although Gao Hai somewhat hopes for such things to happen, it seems there is currently no hope.

That's fine too. If she really got pregnant, it would be troublesome to enter the dungeon. It's just a little bit of a pity.

"Let's discuss this kind of thing after we've truly settled down and no longer need to go into the dungeon every month."

Zhenfei had obviously also thought of this matter, so she quickly took her hand off her lower abdomen and said seriously to Gao Hai.

"Indeed, nowadays, even if we did have one, it would be very difficult to protect it."

The thought of the impending disaster weighed heavily on Gao Hai's mind, but he didn't show it on his face; he simply nodded slightly.

Gao Hai took a step forward.

But Zhenfei behind him didn't follow immediately, so Gao Hai was pulled back while holding the girl's hand.

"True concubine?"
