Afternoon, at Ruri's living room.

From Ruri's holo-screen, Rumiko stared at Ruri's indecent appearance in complete disbelief.

At first, Rumiko just want to ask about superfluous things and be done with it. But because of the shock, she had forgotten all of her long prepared words. She quickly recovered from the shock and immediately scolded her daughter.

"Don't be ridiculous and wear your clothes at this instant! Do you have no shame?"

Health? School grade? Obviously there are more important issues with this girl that needs to be resolved first! 

However, facing her mother's scolding, Ruri was still smiling.

"You don't have to worry, Mom. Because..."

She paused for a moment as she walked back to the sofa. 

With a swipe of her finger, Ruri once again reestablished the wireless connection to the Holo-TV. Then, the holo-screen on her T-Bracelet disappeared, only to be replaced by the Holo-TV's screen next on the wall. Following that, the camera's focus also shifted so as to capture Ruri's appearance from the Holo-TV screen's position.

Now, Ruri's appearance could be seen completely from Rumiko's screen.

With her hands free, Ruri slowly performed a 360 spin rotation twice, showing her bare front and back for Rumiko to see. The bell on her left ankle continuously chimed as her body moved.

"...Behold of this cute body! Every inch is perfect, sculpted by God!" (Ruri)

"What?!" (Rumiko)

It was then that Rumiko fully realized that except for the T-Bracelet and the bell, Ruri was really wearing nothing!

Then, as if mocking her mother, Ruri moved her hands to her hips and said in a proud tone.

"There is not a single part of my body that is shameful!"

Seeing her daughter's antics, Rumiko couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It seems that in these 6 months, her daughter has developed a strange habit. Now she looked like people who call themselves nudists, walking around naked in the house. No, not similar but totally the same, she really became a nudist!

Such a moral degeneration must not be allowed!

Soon later, Rumiko's expression quickly replaced by anger.

"You insolent child! I don't remember raising such a perverted daughter! Do you want to embarrass me?!"

For a moment, Rumiko struggled to stabilize her breathing.

"You're lucky that no one else besides me here that saw your... Hah!? Wait... Don't tell me you also show yourself with that disgraceful appearance to others!?"

Rumiko's reaction was within Ruri's expectation.

She somewhat understood about her mother's personality. Despite having a scandalous relationship, Rumiko was a woman who values her reputation. She scolds not because she cared about her daughter, but because she is afraid about what other people would said about her.

Of course, Ruri had the option of playing as a good girl to avoid confrontation.

But in the end, she decided to not go that route. This was because she thought that she could use this opportunity to add another layer of distraction as a precaution, so that her mother wouldn't easily find out about her secret ability, by creating some issue for her mother to focus on.

However, after seeing her mother's angry expression, Ruri thought maybe she had gone too far. It would be bad to continue provoking her any further.

And so, Ruri sat down on the sofa, without even bothering to cover her front.

"Mom, you worry too much, I wouldn't be so stupid as to casually show my body to others."

She tried to persuade her mother with a smile, so that her anger could subside. As she spoke, she habitually swung her left leg, causing the bell on her ankle to ring.

Sure enough, seeing her daughter trying to explain, Rumiko's anger calmed down a bit. She wanted to hear what excuse Ruri would come up with, before deciding what to do next.

However, her anger flared again as soon as Ruri said her next words.

"I can show myself to you, because I know you'll only call me when no one else is around. I've long since accepted that I have perverted thoughts, but life is limited, we should enjoy every second of it as best we can. Isn't that right?"(Ruri)

"You talk big! Don't think you can justify your perversion with those words!" (Rumiko)

Rumiko yelled loudly with a furious expression.

She had thought her foolish daughter would regret her mistake, but she was wrong. It seemed that this daughter of hers has stepped onto a wrong path full of depravity. It must be corrected or else she will bring disgrace to the family.

Rumiko's angry voice was so loud and echoing throughout the room. Fortunately, Ruri already turned off the surround sound system, or else her ears might go deaf.

But in response of her yell, Ruri only shook her head.

"No, I'm not trying to justify my actions. It's just that I decided to be true to myself."

She paused for a bit and took a deep breath before continuing with a smile.

"After all, I only have three years left, right? Can you let my perverseness go for a while?" (Ruri)

Soon as she said that, the atmosphere changed. Instantly, Rumiko's anger subsided.

What her daughter said deeply pierced her heart. It made her remember that this daughter of hers actually had leukemia and was diagnosed as not living much longer.

'Ah, I forgot... The doctor already said that Ruri won't last 5 years, and it's been 2 years already. That is why...'

Two years had passed since Ruri received the death sentence from the doctor. Rumiko couldn't imagine what had been going through her daughter's mind for these two years.

Ruri never used a depressing tone when talking to her mother, instead, she spoke in a playful tone. In Rumiko's mind, perhaps Ruri had given up on life. Then, it would be understandable that she decided to spend the rest of her life without restrain.

With that thinking, Rumiko couldn't bear to be angry anymore. Instead, she felt somewhat guilty.

"Haah, just don't overdo it and be careful not to catch a cold." (Rumiko)

Rumiko sighed.

She didn't have especially good affection to her own daughter. She left her daughter because she thought it would be a waste to spend time with someone who was about to die. At most, she could just do another IVF procedure to produce another child. But perhaps, this decision was a mistake.

Rumiko had thoughts of visiting her daughter again, but in the end, she gave up that thought. It had been so long since she had seen Ruri in person, and she didn't know what face she should make when she met Ruri directly.

Besides, it wouldn't be good if she started to have affection for this daughter of hers who was about to die.

Just meeting via video call is enough!

In the end, Rumiko let her daughter do whatever she wanted.

Though, she didn't understand why her daughter was still a loli, even though she was already 18 years old. She could only think that it was one of the side effects of the IVF procedure that went wrong, which was also suspected of being the cause of leukemia.

Meanwhile, Ruri who didn't know what was in her mother's mind, just buried her chin into the pillow.

'Well, that was easy. I thought she would scold me a bit longer.'

Ruri had already prepared to spend several hours on this battle of wits. But, just reminding Rumiko about the doctor's death sentence was enough to quell her anger.

Perhaps, her mother favorability point towards her wasn't as low as she thought.

"It's okay. My bracelet is installed with Health Manager app. It can tell me what to do." (Ruri)

"Then, that's fine." (Rumiko)

This application called Health Manager was an application installed by the doctor who treats Ruri's leukemia. It can monitors her health and was able to provide medical advice. And when something goes wrong, it will immediately send an emergency signal to the hospital.

However, what Rumiko didn't know was that the app had long since lost its functionality.

Since Ruri drank the Elixir regularly, all the app could say was that she was healthy. Since installation, the app never sends any emergency signal to the hospital. Perhaps even the doctor who installed this program had forgotten about Ruri.

Colds, cough, fever? Nonexistent!

Rumiko wanted to say more, but suddenly, there was the sound of a door knocking at Rumiko's side. Looks like a guest has come to visit her office. In that case, the conversation must end.

Then, as if acknowledging her daughter's new hobby, Rumiko said firmly.

"Ruri, I don't care if you have perverted hobbies. But I warn you, do not embarrass our family name!" (Rumiko)

"Okay." (Ruri)

"That's it. I have a guest now so I'll excuse myself." (Rumiko)

With that, the connection was cut off.

Left alone in the living room, Ruri plopped down on the sofa and sighed heavily. Perhaps, what she did earlier was the most reckless thing she had done in her life. Even more so than when she ransacked the 3 major guilds in the game. 

"I wonder why I did that though."

But, she has no regret.

It really feels good to be seen naked. Her body became hot as her heart beat faster. The sweet feeling of sinful guilt and depravity was truly a thrilling but unforgettable sensation.

Blame the loli for being too horny!

While reminiscing about the feeling, Ruri hugged the nearby heart-shaped pillow tighter. Her mouth couldn't help but let out a smile, only to last for a short time. 

That's because, the conversation earlier had reminded her of something important.

She had to be independent from her family as soon as possible. Sooner or later, her family will realize that something was wrong. They would surely know that she had recovered from leukemia and that the death penalty had just become an empty joke. If that happens... perhaps they will be mad.

And so, she had to run away before that happens.

"Yes, I need to move out as soon as possible. Fortunately, it won't be long until my final exam."

Currently, Ruri was in her third year of her last semester of senior high school, and her final exams are only about two weeks later. After graduating from high school, she could choose to register to a university far away from Kyoto and move out.

As for the exam, Ruri never worried about it. From the beginning of the semester, she had been cramming all the course materials while drinking EXP Potions. Thanks to those potions, her learning efficiency was outstanding, and she could remember everything, despite not having an eidetic memory.

'I better start my preparation tonight. First, I need to search for a suitable university, then, a place of stay...'

Ruri closed her eyes and went into a deep thought.

The first thing she must have would be a bank account. Her current bank account record must be monitored by her parents, and using it can reveal a lot of information, including where and when it was used.

In this era, cash has become obsolete. Every currency is digitized and all economic transactions must be through digital transfers. In addition, banks in the country have been centralized and controlled by the government, and bank accounts are directly connected to the citizen ID.

This was supposedly to reduce crime, by making the government easier to track all economic transactions.

Usually, one citizen has one bank account, but to make financial management easier, citizen are permitted to make several sub-accounts. Ruri's plan was to create a new sub-account for temporary use. With a bank account, she can buy a property for her to stay.

As for the money itself, Ruri had no problem with that, as she could take some items from the game to sell. Additionally, her Mercury Wallet still had a balance of around 3 million yen...

Ruri opened her eyes and nodded.

'Well, I'll do that later. But for now, let's continue the fun time!'

Her finger swept through her T-Bracelet and with that, she replayed the Nakamura siblings' porn video.

Once more, the two siblings erotic moans echoed throughout the room.
