"Anna, I can't thank you enough for a wonderful dinner. It couldn't be better. The BBQ was delicious. I enjoyed it. Whoever is going to marry you is a lucky man." Anna's BBQ was surprisingly good. I was full of praise for it. 

"She will get cholesterol if you keep buttering her ass like that," Corey commented. 

"What's cholesterol?" Anna asked, 

"Yes, Corey, what's cholesterol?" this word paly would have been appreciated back on earth, but here in the card world where people don't know cholesterol, it would just sound dumb. 

"Shut up, Wyatt," Corey snapped. 

"You two are close and have a lot in common with each other compared with any of us here. I wonder why you two can't get along?" Susan spoke her thoughts out loud. According to her, both Corey and her boss spoke words that nobody ever heard of except these themselves. They often made jokes only they could understand. Not to mention both of them were young talented card creationists. The similarities between the two were uncanny. 

"Big sis, stop making jokes. How can you compare me with him? I am nothing like him." Corey hurriedly denied Susan's comment. 

"Whatever, my work here is done. I am heading back to the warehouse. See you two tomorrow, at work." I did not want to continue the pointless banter. I still had to visit the Silver beach gate dungeon to create enough silver milk powder for everyone. By everyone, I mean my new and old subordinates. My calamity daughter gems, TSR guild, Tiger Squadron, and Fine Gold. 

"What? I have planned a week's worth of dungeon experience for big sis. So don't expect us to come to the work for the next few days." Corey announced her plan to continue Susan's dungeon for another week. 

"Yeah, I think I have already seen and experienced enough dungeon for one day. It has made me appreciate my job more. Thanks to this experience, I can work with more motivation and enthusiasm.

I am looking forward to work tomorrow." Susan hated the dungeon raid. For her current strength and origin card, a measly F-rank dungeon was not a challenge for her. And most repulsive part of the dungeon raid was the blood and gore. Thankfully her origin card armor could clean itself of the blood and brain matter splatter. Otherwise, she would not have lasted this long. 

"Since Susan has agreed, see you two tomorrow at work." Not giving Corey the opportunity to retort my decision, I turn to Nick and, " Thank you for sticking along. Now, you can get back to your work." 

"Pleasure is mine, master Wyatt. Don't forget to call me if you need my help again. Cousin, see you later." Replying politely, Nick bade his goodbye to Corey, me, and the rest of us before heading out of the dungeon. 

"Susan, do you need a ride?" As I was about to head to the dungeon gate, I turned to Susan and asked if she required a ride back. 

But before Susan could reply, Corey snapped back, "Wyatt, you are asking for it. First, you cancel my dungeon experience week, and now you want to snatch the few minutes of alone time I have with my Big Sis. Stop meddling. I will give big sis the ride back to the city." 

"Corey is right, Wyatt. I will return to the city with her. And don't forget you already have company. Don't make her highness angry." Susan answered. But there was something about the manner she spoke. It appeared to have changed. 

"I didn't forget her. My nanomorpher has enough place for the three of us." Saying that, I turned to look at Anna, I thought she would not mind me giving Susan a ride home, but it turned out I was wrong, and Susan was right. Anna was glaring at me. As our eyes met, I scratched the back of my head and awkwardly looked away, avoiding Anna's glare. 

"*Cough* Anna, let's head back." Saying that I paced to the dungeon gate. Anna caught up to me with ease and walked out of the dungeon gate after me. 

…

"Big Sis, if you don't mind, can I stay at your place for a few days? I will not stay long, just until my grandmother and grandfather stop using my place to express their love through intimacy." Corey was really scarred hearing the noises of her grandparents expressing their love to each other through the common wall their rooms shared. Still, she managed to find a positive in it. To raise her mother's sympathy for her living conditions and let her stay at her place. And then slowly turn from a temporary guest to a roommate. Corey felt proud, having hatched a plan to become her mother's roommate.

"Umm... How long?" Susan was not new to this social favor. She has done this for most of her friends. Therefore she knew to ask the critical question instead of accepting blindly. 

"Just for a few days, grandmother will soon grow tired of grandpa's company and head back to the family." Corey had prepared herself for every basis Susan could use to deny her request. Corey's ultimate goal of this conversation was to wiggle into Susan's house as a temporary guest and never leave. 

"I guess its okay. Since we will be moving to royal place away." Susan remembered that they would soon leave for the royal place, so she did not mind Corey's company for her last few days in the city.

"Great!" Cheered Corey while cussing in the head for forgetting about the move to the royal palace. Momentary gains preoccupied Corey, muddling her to forget about the move. Still, she gets to live with her mother, which was a win in Corey's book. 

"Big Sis, will we be sharing the same bed?" 

"I have a single bed, so you will have to adjust on the couch." 

"I think the two of us can fit on a single bed." 

"Take the couch or go home." 

"Fine"
