Frostnova, who had been in the cold since childhood, felt for the first time what warmth and heat were in Jean's embrace.
And Jean, who was already a seasoned veteran, was at a master level in terms of technique, other skills, and even his understanding of props.
Dealing with a fledgling white rabbit was naturally no problem.
However, Jean, who had originally planned to stop after a brief taste, was stopped by Frostnova just as he was about to finish.
It was then that Jean understood what racial talent meant, and what it meant to be exceptionally gifted.
With a blushing face and her whole body trembling slightly, Frostnova lay by Jean's ear like a spoiled kitten, whispering quietly.
Jean also began to teach her all sorts of things with a look of pleasure.
Senses merged with love; warmth and joy coexisted.
The body gradually warmed, and the soul gradually melted.
Like the Human Instrumentality Project, the final barrier within the heart was broken, and their spirits merged into one.
And so, with endless vitality replenishing their stamina, and relying on the excitement of discovering a new world and this unprecedented pleasure...
A new round began once again.
...
Finally, Frostnova's mental strength was the first to give out, and she fell into a deep sleep with a sense of satisfaction. Jean also dragged his tired body after the great battle, covered himself and Frostnova with the quilt, and fell asleep together.

The next morning, Jean felt an itch at his fingertips. Opening his eyes, he found Frostnova lightly licking them; he remembered that little rabbits seemed to have such a habit.
"Frostnova?"
"Ah, I..." Her face turned visibly red.
"Good morning." Jean didn't mind it at all, simply finding it very cute.
"Mm, good morning."
"Let's go out for a big meal today to celebrate!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"OK, OK, let me order the meal first."
He rolled out of bed and found the ordering number for Erina's restaurant among the general service numbers. After dialing, it happened to be Erina who answered the phone.
"Hello, this is the White Tower Restaurant. How may I help you?"
"Hey, Erina-chan? I want to order a meal for tonight, for two people. Something light, suitable for someone recovering from a major illness."
"Certainly, no problem. Your identity information shows you have top-tier privileges. The head chef will personally cook for you and present the ultimate delicacy."
"Oh, right, just like last time, Erina-chan, you should make a dish too."
"Eh, thank you for your trust. I will give it my all."
After hanging up the phone, Erina was full of questions about Jean's attempts to act familiar: "Uh, who is this guy? Well, whatever, it's a rare opportunity. I must work hard!"

After the reservation was complete, Jean first took Frostnova for their routine bath. Although this bathtub full of vitality had been out of use for a few days, it came in handy again today.
In the bathroom, Jean was hugged by Frostnova again and cooperated with her to start playing once more.
By the time they came out, let alone breakfast, even lunchtime was almost over.
They grabbed a quick lunch and got dressed to go shopping.
The first stop was still the huge plaza in the Integrated District. This time, the original restricted area had been dismantled, and other construction was currently underway there.
Under the covered plaque, the words 'Creation Festival' could barely be seen.
Even Frostnova, who had seen the prosperity of Lungmen, was amazed by this cyberpunk-styled city.
In this way, Jean held Frostnova's hand and strolled through the city, heading toward the clothing store they had visited before.
Since they needed to buy everything from the inside out, the two first went to an underwear shop.
Based on the data he had gathered during this time, Jean picked out a size and let Frostnova try it on first.
Before long, Frostnova's voice came from the fitting room: "Jean, it's a bit small."
"?"
Jean also ducked into the fitting room, checked the size of the underwear, and found he hadn't taken the wrong one.
So he measured Frostnova with his hands again, and this measurement gave Jean a fright. "I-It actually..."
The size had shockingly increased by a full cup. Shocking racial talent.JPG
Now knowing the correct size, Jean picked out a large bag of various styles and then bought two larger sizes just in case.
After asking the clerk to wrap them up, it was time for the outerwear phase.
He had previously used Shiraori as a dress-up doll; now it was Jean's turn to experience this joy.
To be honest, this kind of fun was indeed unparalleled, as the cute Frostnova changed into various styles in his hands.
No wonder that game, Love Nikki, used to be so popular.
In the end, Frostnova chose a hooded jacket mainly in white with orange ribbon accents, with a pure white T-shirt and white shorts underneath, paired with white over-the-knee boots. It could be said that it changed her previous soft and cute image to one of being valiant and heroic.
The other clothes were packed together and placed in Jean's spatial pouch.
Next was casual window shopping. Frostnova, who rarely entered a modern metropolis, seemed full of enthusiasm, pulling Jean here and there.
Jean was also happy to accompany her, so by the time dusk approached, they had toured all the prominent places in the surrounding city districts.
The frugal Frostnova didn't want to buy anything, simply wanting to experience the fun of window shopping. However, Jean eventually insisted on buying Frostnova a mobile phone.
Although the city at night had another kind of charm, there was still a big meal waiting for the two of them.
---
They arrived at the restaurant and were led to their reserved table by a waiter. Before long, Erina came to serve the dishes, pushing a small cart.
"Uh, this is the appetizer, Snow Lotus Soup. Please enjoy." Finding Jean sitting at the table, Erina froze for a moment but still prioritized introducing the dish.
"Mmm, the taste is very good. Did you make it, Erina-chan?"
"Yes, I made it. Thank you for liking it. Also, could you please not add the '-chan' suffix?"
"Oh, I see. Sorry, sorry, Erina-tan."
"If possible, please just call me Erina."
"Calling you by your name directly? I understand, Erina."
At this point, Erina finally felt she had been played, but there was absolutely nothing she could say. After all, the customer is king, and a customer with top-tier privileges is the king of kings.
At this moment, how Erina wished this Jean could be like the rabbit girl she brought along, completely ignoring her and just silently eating the food.
The subsequent delicacies were also presented one after another. The dishes, which combined dietary therapy, health preservation, and deliciousness, made one feel refreshed all over.
---
After they had their fill, the two didn't go window shopping anymore but went straight home.
Working together, they put away the clothes they had bought. Then, Jean installed a game on Frostnova's phone. This was what Frostnova had always wanted to know—the reason why Jean knew so many things: Arknights.
While Frostnova played the game on the bedside, Jean scrolled through the news. Just then, Jean remembered something that had puzzled him today and asked Frostnova:
"By the way, Frostnova, I get the feeling you don't really like communicating with others, is that right?"
