Ren reluctantly went to the bathroom and took his clothes off.

'Running away would make me more suspicious"

Ren, "System"

-no response-

He sighed.

"Just what the fuck is going on"

While he was having a headache trying to figure out his next move, Shin was spacing out.
He seemed to be thinking about something as well.

•••

It wasn't long till Ren had finished his bath
Since his clothes weren't exactly at its best, he was only wearing a bathrobe.

Ren, "Master, it's your turn"
Shin, "You can just rest in the bed"

He smiled before going in.

Ren, 'Him? Smiling? At me???'

The room was silent for a while and only water from the shower could be heard

.......

"Fuck yea! Time to escape!" Ren whispered

He felt better now so he planned to find Shirlette and make her his alibi.

Talking about what he doesn't really understand much himself could make things more complicated.

He reaches for the doorknob ready to escape
......
Nothing happened

"......"

No wonder Shin was so confident.
The guy made sure Ren couldn't try anything

Ren, "I really hate this guy"

•••••••

Not long after, Shin came out with only a bathrobe on.
His hair was still wet, and some drops of water slid down his neck.

Shin, "Hope you didn't wait too long" ^^

Ren, "no, not at all master"
'bitch you left me with no choice!' he thought

Shin, "let me get straight to the point here"
Ren, "about what?"

He sighs seeing Ren play dumb

Shin, "I just want you to know that I'm thankful that you saved me, more than once now."

"But still. I can't avoid the fact that a lot of things you've done are suspicious" he added

Ren, "I know a thing or two I've done in the past don't exactlyvmake sense, but please understand that I don't intend to harm anyone."

Shin, "I know that. But do you care to explain why or how you did it?"

Ren was silent for a moment

Seeing that he was struggling, Shin added

"I'm not asking for much. I'm sure you hhave your reasons. I just want to make sure it doesn't affect my family"

'I wouldn't be able to live with myself if my family got hurt due to my carelessness' he thought

Now that Ren thought about it, the system never told him that he couldn't talk about the world he came from and that he wasn't Ren Civan.

But then again who would believe him?

He'd be labelled as a lunatic.

The system isn't here right now, he can't take the risk.

But he couldn't escape. It was obvious a lot of the stuff he did isn't something a mere servant can do. The other party would be a fool not to be suspicious.
