“I haven’t checked up on Iris. I have to thank her for the advice that she had given me.”
Muttering those words, Allen headed to Iris’ room.
It didn’t take him more than a minute to arrive at Iris’ room as he knocked on her door. When he knocked on her room’s door, it opened immediately and Allen noticed that it was programmed to do so using Iris’ <Supreme IA> talent.
Allen entered Iris’ room and what greeted his sight was Iris sleeping peacefully on her bed. She must have been tired and Allen guessed that it might be because of her intruding in his dreamscape.
He didn’t know how she even did that but from witnessing Iris currently sleeping, he knew that her doing that had taken a lot of her energy.
Allen already guessed that Iris must have used her <Supreme IA> talent to hack into his dreamscape. Although the AMCG System was auto-piloting his body in case of danger, the AMCG System must have been persuaded by her to allow her in intruding his dreamscape.
Seeing that Iris wasn’t awake yet, Allen decided to wait. He went to Iris’ bed and snuggled into her blanket. Afterward, he wrapped his hands around Iris and she didn’t have any reactions to his actions as she was currently sleeping.
Allen felt Iris’ soft and smooth skin when his hands came into contact with it as he wrapped his hands around her body to hug her while she was asleep. He smelled her scent and it made him a bit drowsy from all of the sensations that he had felt when he lay on the bed beside her.
Seeing no problem in sleeping with her, Allen decided to do just that as he closed his eyes and slept again.

“Master Allen, it’s time to wake up.”
Iris shook Allen’s body as she prompted him to wake up.
Opening his eyes, Allen saw Iris within his field of vision and he couldn’t help but feel as if it was deja vu.
“Oh, morning, Iris.”
Allen responded as he got up on her bed and rubbed his eyes.
“It’s already afternoon, Master.”
Iris said to him as she blankly stared at him. Allen only chucked in response as he got up and went out of her bed.
“Welcome back, Master.”
Iris greeted him as she remembered how he had spent countless years in his dreamscape. It was reckless of him in doing that since there was a possibility that he might not even wake up.
‘Sigh, it was a good thing that I had persuaded the AMCG System to allow me to hack into Master Allen’s dreamscape. If not, I doubt he would wake up this fast.’
Sighing in her mind about how reckless her master was, Iris looked at the bright side. What mattered was that Allen woke up and was still alive and kicking.
“I am back, Iris. Thank you for helping me back there!”
After thanking her, Allen kissed her forehead and hugged her afterward. Iris was startled by his actions but still responded by hugging him back.
After they let go of each other, Allen instantly felt a stinging sensation on his face or more specifically, his left cheek. Allen didn’t know what happened but after noticing the position of Iris’ right hand, he understood that she had slapped him.
“Master, why were you so reckless!? You didn’t even tell me about it! You made me worry since you didn’t wake up for a whole day.”
Hearing Iris’ words, Allen was shocked.
‘Didn’t I tell Iris about my one-day slumber?’
With confusion in his mind, Allen decided to ask Iris.
“Iris, didn’t I tell you that I will slumber for a day to upgrade my <[Absolute Order]> authority?”
Not only was Allen confused, but Iris was as well when she heard of Allen’s question.
“You didn’t, Master. If had told me about it, you wouldn’t have received a slap from me.”
Iris replied to Allen as if she was stating the obvious. She wasn’t an abusive girlfriend so she wouldn’t hurt Allen if he didn’t do anything wrong. But he did something wrong and that was why she slapped him so that Allen would know that she wasn’t satisfied with what he did.
“Fair point. Wait, if I hadn’t told you about it, and I knew that I had told you about it, it can only mean one thing. I had told you about it in my dream and not in the real world.”
After coming to that conclusion, Allen facepalms himself. He didn’t expect such a thing to happen. He was sure himself that he had told Iris about it but it turned out to be just a dream.
“Don’t worry too much about it, Master. At least, you are safe and sound and I already have my revenge against you.”
Iris smiled at Allen which caused him to have goosebumps. Even if her smile was pure and gentle, her words weren’t.
‘I am pretty sure that I didn’t program her to be sadistic. After all, I am not a masochist. But it seems that Iris is growing as a person and having emotions and personalities that I didn’t program her to have.’
With that thought in his mind, Allen was glad that Iris was improving as she became more human than before. He didn’t want her to only be restricted by what he had programmed her to be.
Iris could be anything she wanted to be and he wouldn’t mind as long as she was happy with her improvement. Her happiness was his happiness.
Iris was still Iris for him even if she changed completely. So even if she changed her hairstyle, hair color, etc, he would still love her for who she was and not what she looked like.
Although, it seemed that Iris was already satisfied with her appearance and not to mention it improved by thousands of folds after she received the <Absolute Beauty> talent.
“Master, I’m still mad about it. Make it up to me.”
Iris said to Allen as she pouted at him.
When she said that, Allen lifted Iris in a princess carry, his hand under her knees and back. He then pinned both of her hands with his right hand and placed her on her bed.
“Don’t worry, I will.”
