She hadn't even had time to say anything when her father punched the guy on the head and said:
"How dare you stop me from seeing my adorable Arina!"
She quickly nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, she heard a clanging sound and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Opening her eyes, she saw her father and her brother dueling with swords — over her cake!

Arina turned to her mother, who sighed and said:
"Haizz, here they go again..."

All of a sudden, her father's sword swung dangerously close to her mother.
Irritated, her mother caught the blade with her hand and whacked both of them hard.

"I thought it would be something useful..."

Feeling cheerful, she hopped onto her bed and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, at the main headquarters of the system...
