I. ANISIUS HAS A RUFF MORNING

LIGHT FLOWS THROUGH THE HILL AS THE RISING SUN MAKES ITS DAILY ROUTINE. At the cloudy days, the sun is still shining above the clouds, but the morning routine is slower than the sunny days. When the rays of the sun don't flow through Anisius's bedroom to stimulate his awakening, laziness hits on his own endocrine system, forcing him to sleep even more. Anisius used to sleep till late, and when he did, the septuplets came up and gave him a boiling headache: they snatch off his blankets from his bed and slap him on the face. His eyes were watered red as he opens his blurry distorted eyesight and sees his  seven highly disciplinary twin sisters:

Anisius: [indisposed] "What?"
The septuplets: [in unison] "Wake up, sleepy beauty."

That was actually at a Saturday morning when Anisius had a ton of work to do with the seven sisters: they had a few carpeting projects to do collectively, including their weaponry stands, personal custom work desks, wooden pallet furnitures, etc. Well, Anisius spent almost three hours making researchers on the internet looking for architectures for their work, and put on the desk to sketch them basing on the septuplets' ideas. That was a exhausting, but productive Friday evening. In anyway, Anisius had reasons to sleep till late.

His digital alarm clock was designed by Do'yobi: a six-digit clock with conventional integral circuits, which can make its decoders display the following message: WAKE UP. Every weekdays, this clock flashes and beeps:

04:30:AM - WA:KE:UP - 04:30:AM - WA:KE:UP - 04:30:AM - WA:KE:UP

Making a few flashes out loud, Anisius is forced to wake up by the noise. His bad aspect makes him yarn and put his bad breath out to unleash his own energy. As he stretches his own arms, torso and back vertebrae, he feels his left arm twist has faded. That's the good news, and here's the bad news. After cheerfully taking his left arm out of the cast, the swell on Anisius's right chin hasn't faded yet, and when he reaches the bandage covering it, unnoticed, it provokes a slight pain on him, ending his five-second cheer:

Anisius: [his swelling chin hurts] "OUW!!!" [then tries to touch it slightly, he still feels a slight pain, reminding of last night's ambush by the septuplets] "HMPF! I told them it wasn't necessary. They just had to do this to me, hadn't they?!"

Anisius gets up from his boat bed and heads directly to the bathroom, walking barefoot across the cold floors of their bedroom. The bathroom had a sliding wooden door at the entrance, and for Anisius's never ending dismay, it's a spacious unisex bathroom. However, the hell the septuplets could ever let Anisius inside it when they are, just like they do on their chamber. The bathroom has a Japanese Public Bath architecture: it has a bathtub a with a hydromassage shower system, three bathroom washers for at least three of the septuplets use them at once. Anisius wishes to have a bathroom for himself, but by Grandpa Toru's choice, the bathroom is for all eight of them.

Anisius looks himself onto the large wall mirror, and sees the bandaged swelling on his face. When he removes the bandage, the size of the swelling was to great. He was badly punched on his face by Ninjutsu Dash, he thought. How can he show up at school looking like that? Anisius had a solution, but it might be dired. He activated his intellectual thinking:

"He snuck into the septuplets chamber, ignoring the ANISIUS IS NOT ALLOWED HERE sign. Opening the sliding door slowly, without making a noise, the septuplets were still in bed, as Anisius saw their bunk bed curtains closed. He steps really silently on tip tap toe, reaching Ka'yobi's cosmetics set and takes her makeup kit. He then returns to the bathroom and, after a quick shower and dress-up, uses the makeup kit to cover the swellings on his face."
