Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

"Exactly, exactly. It took me a long time to figure it out, but I didn't have that much patience, so I just used the editor you wrote for me."

Ifrit was a little embarrassed about using cheating, but Suri seemed indifferent, reaching out to pinch Ifrit's cheek:

"What's the big deal? We're playing a single-player game. Once we have the game, we can play it however we want. It won't ruin anyone else's gaming experience."

"That makes sense! By the way, a new game console recently came out, and the games on it seem pretty good. Shall we go try it out together?"

As Ifrit chatted, her eyes lit up, and she set her sights on Suri.

But Suri shook her head: "I can help you play the game in advance, but you should keep the game console safe, you worked hard to buy it yourself. Besides, I don't have any money to buy you anything."

Suri shrugged, but Ifrit had already gotten what she wanted: "Okay, it's a deal!"

Volume 4, Chapter 226: Like a Family of Three

By the end of dinner, Suri and Ifrit had finished all the food on their plates.

However, it was clear to both Saria and Himeru that their minds were not on eating at all.

It's true, once they start talking about certain things, they forget everything else. Saria and Himeru exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

With a look that asked Himer to keep an eye on Suri and Ifrit, Saria tidied up the plates and placed them in their storage compartment. Then she returned to Suri's side and gently patted Suri's shoulder.

"Alright, Suri, we should go back now."

"Wait a minute, just a little while, I want to talk to Ifrit a bit more." Suri was completely absorbed in the game and just wanted to continue discussing it with Ifrit so they could play together sometime.

Saria paused for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Suri and Ifrit by the collar, lifting them up and hoisting them onto her shoulders.

She turned to look at Himer and said, "In that case, let me take care of them today. Don't worry, Suri and I... won't continue tonight, so Ifrit can get a good night's sleep."

"Okay, remember to make sure Ifrit goes to bed early and doesn't play games for too long."

Himer still trusted Suri and Saria. His trust in Saria was built up over a long period of time. As for Suri, ifrit's grades did not decline during their time in Mansfield; in fact, they even improved. This was the reason why Himer trusted Suri.

However, after seeing how Ifrit and Suri interacted, Himer suddenly had some doubts. Although Suri was definitely an adult, his behavior didn't seem much like Ifrit's... or even seemed more like Ifrit's, cough cough.

Himer put aside her thoughts, nodded as she watched Saria carry Suri and Ifrit away, and then got up and left the restaurant herself.

After carrying Suri and Ifrit away and returning to her dormitory, Saria gently put Suri and Ifrit down and stood in front of them:

"Remember not to play games too late."

Then, he took a yawn and decided to go for a short nap.

After all, her energy would be depleted. After spending the whole day being intimate with Suri, Suri was still able to keep her spirits up thanks to her love for the game, but Saria couldn't. She needed to rest and get a good night's sleep.

So Saria gently lay down on the soft bed, leaving the living room to Suri and Ifrit, while she stayed in the bedroom.

Suri and Ifrit exchanged a glance, a glint of determination flashing in their eyes. Suri then gently patted Ifrit's shoulder and whispered a word of advice:

"Alright, I'll go check on Saria. Ifrit, you can rest here."

Ifrit nodded obediently, then watched as Suri got up and tiptoed toward Saria's door, gently opening it.

Suri went to Saria's bedroom, gently cupped her cheeks in her hands, and was startled when Saria suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"You've kept your scanning field on the whole time, and I'm not going to fall asleep that quickly. What are you trying to do?"

Saria looked at Suri, who was clearly about to do something bad, with a hint of helplessness.

"I just wanted to help you sleep better." Suri smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Want to play the game a little longer?"

"...Is this alright?"

"Don't play for too long, Ifrit has class tomorrow."

Although Saria said that, she released Suri's wrist and let him do as he pleased.

Suri reached out and cupped Saria's cheeks, whispering:

"In that case, get a good night's sleep. Don't think about anything. Just relax and fall asleep."

As Suri spoke, and feeling the relaxing and intimate aura emanating from her, Saria felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.

This can be considered one of Suri's abilities; with just a little trickery, she can get someone to sleep soundly.

That way, Saria won't bother him and Ifrit while they're playing games... Go to bed on time? What's that? Suri didn't agree to anything.

With a cheerful mood, Suri slowly released Saria's cheek, humming a little tune, swaying her spiked Vyvan tail, and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her. She winked at Ifrit:

"It's all set. Saria is asleep, so she won't bother us while we play games."

"Okay, okay, come over here quickly, we need to start the game right away."

Although Suri said that Saria was already asleep, Ifrit, feeling guilty, subconsciously lowered her voice and patted the spot next to her, urging Suri to sit down quickly.

"Here we go, Arknights, activate!"

As Suri spoke, she turned on a game she had previously agreed upon with Ifrit on the TV screen, but this game wasn't the so-called Arknights. Ifrit looked at Suri with some confusion:

"What kind of game is it if there's no Arknights?"

"It's nothing, I was just saying it offhand. Okay, let's get started."

Suri picked up the game controller and started the game.

The two of them stayed up from dusk until dawn, until Ifrit was so sleepy that she was yawning and her eyelids were almost too heavy to keep open, before Suri stopped playing the game and turned off the TV screen.

Then, Suri picked up Ifrit and carried her to the bedroom, gently placing the little girl in the middle. She and Saria shielded Ifrit, and Suri closed her eyes as well.

However, before going to sleep, Suri didn't forget to adjust Ifrit's sleep state so that her brain could get a good rest.

This way, I can sleep less, stay awake more, and have more time to play games.

Of course... it's better not to popularize this technology for now, because who knows what people who get this technology will do?

With this in mind, Suri also fell into hibernation.

……

The next morning, when Saria opened her eyes, she expected to find Suri and Ifrit fast asleep on the sofa in the living room or on the floor in front of it.

But to my surprise, when I opened my eyes I saw Suri and Ifrit being held in Suri's arms.

"..." A smile involuntarily crept onto Saria's lips.

Suri and Ifrit, in this state, looked like a family of three, which brightened Saria's mood considerably. Not wanting to disturb Suri and Ifrit's sleep, Saria tiptoed out of bed, only to notice that Ifrit was already awake.

Volume 4, Chapter 227: Forced to Operate

Even if they didn't stay up too late last night, Ifrit and Suri must have been sleep-deprived.

With this thought in mind, Saria gently patted Ifrit's head and whispered to her:

“Ifrit can sleep a little longer, I’ll go talk to Himer.”

Besides, Suri is holding Ifrit. What if Ifrit moves too much and wakes Suri up?

Ifrit opened her eyes in confusion, glanced at Saria, and was surprised to find herself in Suri's arms.

Ifrit instinctively looked up at Saria with a surprised expression, as if she wanted to show off.

But she was immediately covered by Saria's mouth, who whispered a reminder:

"Alright, don't disturb Su Rui's rest. If you want to get up, be quiet."

"Mmm." Ifrit quickly covered her mouth and, with Saria's help, gently left Suri's embrace. Then, led by Saria, she walked towards the door.

"Aren't we called Xing Su Rui?" Ifrit asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No need, I'll go get him breakfast. What about you? Do you want to have breakfast first or go find Himer?"

"Of course we'll go have breakfast first. Hemer will also have breakfast at the restaurant."

Ifrit nodded and then followed Saria.

Suri didn't use the technique that only required a few hours of sleep to wake up. First, such a technique was harmless to the body, and second... that was for people who didn't have enough time. Suri preferred to sleep a little longer, even if it didn't do her any good.

After Saria and the others left, a person wearing a black hood came to the door of Saria's dormitory, swiped his ID card to open the door, went directly to the bedroom, and saw Suri fast asleep.

The hooded figure was, of course, the Doctor. She gently sat down beside Suri, took off her gloves, and softly stroked Suri's cheek.

The doctor didn't really have anything to say; he just didn't want to wake Su Rui, so he stayed with him for a while.

But when her fingers touched Suri's cheek, Suri opened her eyes, her scarlet eyes staring straight at the Doctor.

"...Awake?" the doctor asked slowly, pinching Suri's cheek again.

Suri didn't shake off the doctor's hand, but slowly sat up and looked at her: "To be honest, I find it a little strange. I originally thought I was the kind of person..."

"Someone without parents?" the doctor suddenly interrupted Su Rui.

“I have two mothers now.” Suri rolled her eyes and looked at the doctor with annoyance: “How can you talk like that? You’re insulting yourself.”

"I know, I also find it a little strange, but you are my son, aren't you?"

As the doctor spoke, he sat closer to Su Rui, patted his thigh, and gestured for Su Rui to rest her head on his thigh.

"...Aren't you worried that the horn on my head will prick you?"

As Suri spoke, she found a comfortable position and lay down on the doctor's lap.

“Yes, but you won’t.” The doctor said, gently stroking Suri’s cheek and hair:

"Now, let's talk about the things you deliberately promised Mel to cause me trouble, shall we?"

The doctor's voice was very soft, as if he were whispering, but these words still made Suri stiffly turn her head and look at her with an awkward gaze:

"Um, it was just a little prank. I'm sorry, okay? How can you forgive me? I thought you wouldn't care about this."

Suri's pleas for mercy seemed to have an effect. The doctor chuckled softly, reached out and stroked Suri's cheek, then said:

"Of course I don't mind, solving this problem is easy for me, but your prank can't just be left like this."

"...So what do you want? How do you want me to make it up to you?"

Seeing that she couldn't get away with this, Su Rui pouted in annoyance, her expression changing instantly. She dropped her coquettish demeanor, got up from the doctor's lap, and looked at her warily.

"Don't worry, it won't be a very serious punishment." The doctor smiled, looked at Su Rui in front of him, leaned a little closer, and said softly, "As a little punishment for a naughty child, I've decided to give you a good spanking."

"I'm not going to surrender easily, don't force me to take action."

Suri slowly retreated, wary of the Doctor, or rather, the people around the Doctor. After all, the Doctor herself was not a great threat, but the operators she might bring were another story.

Su Rui turned her head and saw that she had indeed found the person hiding. Under the control of the scanning field, there was no way for them to hide.

Suri quietly got up, opened the bedroom door, and then saw Kal'tsit hiding behind the door.

"Kal'tsit? You're not going to join the Doctor in bullying me, are you? I'm willing to apologize, but can you please stop the Doctor from messing around?"

Suri quickly hid behind Kal'tsit, placing her hands on Kal'tsit's shoulders for help, while watching the Doctor warily.

But Kal'tsit turned to Suri and gave her an apologetic look: "Sorry, Suri."

“Kelsey, you…”

Before Suri could say anything, Kal'tsit grabbed her and hoisted her onto her shoulder.

"Hey, Kal'tsit, why are you helping the Doctor? Have you really betrayed him?"

As Suri struggled, she uttered incoherent words, as if she had been utterly betrayed.

Kal'tsit, while carrying Suri, whispered to him, "Take it easy. It's just for you to be the Doctor's assistant for one day. I got this for you."

"...So, what did the Doctor originally want?" Suri asked Kal'tsit in a low voice.

I want to spank you.

"She actually considered it, but she couldn't beat me."

Suri muttered to himself, "Even if he doesn't make a move, as long as he expresses his unwillingness, with Vayvan's physical strength, the Doctor won't be able to do anything to him, right?"

Kal'tsit just smiled mysteriously: "Doctor, you're not as simple as you think."

"Hmm, I, as the son, have no idea what my mom is capable of. This is really interesting."

Suri shrugged and looked at the doctor following behind: "It's just asking me to be an assistant for a day, it's not like the world is ending."

The doctor didn't say anything, but simply reached out and pinched Su Rui's cheek, causing Su Rui to hiss in dissatisfaction.

"You haven't had breakfast yet? It's ready in the doctor's office."
