“Awghhhh…”

“Lady Cayna?”

Spread out against the living room table, Cayna’s current state could only be described as “peak burnout.”

It all began after her secret meeting with Opus. Cayna wobbled out into the living room, and Roxine couldn’t hide her surprise as she watched her master spiral into a tailspin of exhaustion thanks to a sudden and shocking revelation that sent her brain into overdrive. Black smoke poured out of her ears, and Roxine quickly rushed to her aid after peeking out of the kitchen.

Despite the billowing smoke effect, Cayna wasn’t harmed in any way. Her upgraded resistance skills, including Mental Resistance, were gradually demonstrating their potency.

Unaware of this new development, Roxine glared at Opus, who loitered near Cayna with his arms crossed.

“Just what on earth have you done?”

“I merely told Cayna what she wished to know. She’s the one who asked.”

Roxine huffed at Opus’s unmistakable arrogance. Just as she was about to retort, Siren interrupted.

“All right, that’s quite enough. Roxine. You are head of the kitchen, so please hurry and prepare lunch. Antagonizing my master is an exercise in futility, so I suggest you retreat now. It is only a waste of mental energy.”

“…Very well.”

Siren watched Roxine reluctantly slink back into the kitchen, then approached the smug-faced Opus and stepped on his toes. Even though it wasn’t enough to flutter Siren’s skirt, Cayna felt a small, localized tremor from where she was slumped over the table.

Opus crouched down and trembled as he held his foot. He seemed to be in considerable pain, but Siren stood there in tranquil silence as if the vicious strike had never happened. The only indication anything was amiss was the oddly bulging vein in her temple. Opus had apparently given her the Oscar—Roses Scatter with Beauty skill as well.

Siren took a cup from the living room cupboard, poured water from a pitcher, and placed it by Cayna’s head; the cool temperature helped to soothe her nerves.

The maid briskly tended to Cayna while also checking if she had a fever or felt unwell. The agony of Siren’s own trembling master went completely ignored.

For better or worse, Roxilius and Luka returned home at that very moment. They gasped and blanched when they saw Cayna.

“M-Mommy Cayna!”

“Lady Cayna?!”

Roxilius rushed over, and Siren stepped back to let him through.

“She’s not ill. It’s a simple case of mental exhaustion.”

“I see. Thank you very much.”

Luka scrambled up the chair beside Cayna and peered at her. Cayna was still pressed flat against the table, the cup of water touching her cheek and its cool temperature easing her mind. When she caught sight of Luka, her bleary eyes suddenly cleared, and she shot up.

“L-Lu?”

“Are you…okay, Mommy Cayna?”

“Y-yeah…”

Cayna smiled at Luka and shook off any residual listlessness. Something about her smile seemed off to Luka, and she clung tightly to Cayna, who warmly returned the embrace. She sensed a helplessness in Luka similar to the day they first met.

Roxilius observed this with relief and discreetly stepped away to give both parent and child some privacy.

“I’m totally fine, Lu.
