Hey guys, I'm back with a new chapter! And will a new girl be introduced? Read and review.
Evan's House, 8:30PM
Evan looks at his laptop's clock and sees it's 8:30PM. He decides to get up and get ready for bed, another usual day awaits him tomorrow. Evan looks down to find ViVi asleep and hugging him as if he were a body pillow.
"Come on, you sleepy grim reaper, I'll take you to bed." Evan gently shakes ViVi awake.
"Mmmnngh, but my place is right here... sleepy time~" ViVi drowsily mumbles, and goes back to her pillow.
"It's 8:34PM, I need to get ready for bed so I can not be sleepy at work tomorrow." Evan tries convincing the pouting dullahan to let him go, but she refuses to.
I thought dullahans usually like to be by themselves, guess ViVi likes attention. Evan guesses on why ViVi could be like this.
"Let's deal, if you let go of me, I promise to get you a gift tomorrow."
"Fufu? Are you asking me out on a date?" ViVi teases Evan
"wha-, I'm flattered but I can't-" Evan slightly panics
"is it because i'm too clingy?" ViVi pouts with a fake sad face
"That's not what I meant-" Evan fumbles with an explanation
"I'm just teasing you, anyway, it's a promise, master." ViVi finally agrees to Evan's deal and releases him.
Though I don't think I could say no if Evan asks me out on an actual date. ViVi thinks to herself.
"Well, sweet dreams." ViVi smiles at Evan and leaves his room, though a thought keeps crossing her mind. Just what kind of gift is Evan going to give her tomorrow?
Evan's House, 5AM
Evan's alarm clock wakes him up as usual, and so, he begins his morning routine before going to work.
He walks out of his room, already dressed, and goes to the kitchen. Evan makes himself a bowl of strawberry cereal with almond milk, and slices a grilled cheese sandwich into two for his dullahan homestay.
Ah, speak of the devil, or in this case, the grim reaper, because ViVi walks in the kitchen.
"Good morning, master..." ViVi greets Evan good morning.
"Ah, mornin' ViVi." Evan notices faint bags under her eyes, he guesses she couldn't sleep last night and was thinking of today. He decides not to say anything though, thinking she maybe forgot the surprise.
"Anyway, your breakfast's ready on the table, ViVi." Evan points at her plate.
"Thank you for the food, master." ViVi gives her thanks before she and Evan sit down for breakfast.
Once they were done, Evan grabbed their plates and put them in the sink, planning to wash them after he got home from work. He goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and before he leaves for work, he turns to ViVi.
"You can watch what's on TV, or look through my Blu-ray discs over there by the shelf to see if there's a movie you wanna watch." Evan says.
"Okay, Evan, have a great day" ViVi smiles at Evan.
"Thank you ViVi, well then, I'm off." Evan gets out of the house, and ViVi can hear the door locking, and a 9 seconds later, the sound of Evan's car revving up and driving away.
ViVi listens as her crush drives away to work and wonders why he has to work when he could be spending time with her? She begins to feel a bit of jealousy at the thought of other women also having a bit of interest on Evan. ViVi shakes those jealousy thoughts out of her head, and begins planning how she shall spend her time home alone.
Taking Evan's suggestion, she looks through his shelf for anything interesting to watch, and to her surprise, finds around 50 blu-rays to choose from. Humming to herself, she remembers how to handle a Blu-ray disc and work the Blu-ray player. ViVi then chooses a disc case with "Black Lagoon" (Note: I don't own Black Lagoon, give it a look though, it's good xd) in front and reads the back to see what it's about.
"Hmm, it seems interesting, and if master likes this, then maybe I should give it a try." ViVi sings to herself as she turns on the TV and the Blu-ray player, then takes out the disc and presses a button on the blu-ray player to open the disc tray. ViVi then puts in the disc and closes the tray.
Before watching Black Lagoon, however, ViVi looks at the time.
"Yay, by the time I'm done watching most of these episodes, Evan should be home and we can think about how we'll spend the rest of the day together~" ViVi clasps her fingers together (Is "Clasps" the right word?) and makes herself comfortable.
Black Lagoon intro plays
And so, ViVi begins watching one of Evan's Blu-rays, "Black Lagoon.", while home alone. The back cover sure has an interesting summary of Black Lagoon.
Around 6 episodes later, ViVi feels she's had enough and that she can watch more Black Lagoon later if she asks Evan to watch his Blu-rays. She takes out the Black Lagoon Blu-ray and puts it back in its case, then puts the case where it was on the shelf. Getting an idea, she looks through the TV's channel guide to see what stuff she could watch while waiting for Evan to come home. But there's one thing she knew: It's getting pretty lonely.
After minutes of mindlessly scrolling through the channel guide while sighing once, she comes across an intriguing show: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency - Episode 25. (I don't own JJBA xd)
ViVi reads that there's one episode left before "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders" begins. She considers not watching it and wait to ask Evan to buy JJBA or download it for her, so they can watch it together, but there really isn't anything interesting to watch right now, so, she tunes in to JJBA: BT, and watches what seems to be the final two episodes for that season.
Around 40 minutes later, ViVi is covering her mouth while muffling her laughs because she was NOT expecting one of the main characters to solve what seemed to be an unsolvable problem by giving the main antagonist a free ticket to space. Yep, she's gotta ask Evan to download or buy JJBA because she wants to know what events led up to that point, and to spend time watching JJBA or any show together, of course.
ViVi is surprised at the house phone ringing, and considers leaving it be, but something told her it was Evan calling home. Convincing herself, she answers the house phone.
"Yes, who is this?" ViVi asks.
"Oh, I see you figured out how to use the phone, ViVi." Evan's voice reaches ViVi's ears.
"Ah, master, is everything all right?" ViVi asks Evan.
"Yes, I was just calling to make sure you were fine being home alone for your first time." Evan says.
"Evan, I'm doing perfectly fine, no need to worry about me." ViVi warmly says to Evan.
"If you say so, well, gotta get back to work, see ya later!"
ViVi hears him hang up before hanging up the phone herself. She then begins to wonder, would life around here be more lively if Evan took in more demihumans? She wouldn't mind sharing Evan if it's someone she and Evan know. Anyway, she wonders how she should spend the last few hours before Evan comes home.
She decides to look outside for a few minutes, and sighs contentedly at her new life with her Evan and possibly a couple demihuman women. ViVi then goes to get a drink of water. Once she quenches her thirst, she wonders if she should take a nap or watch more TV.
"Eh, I'm feeling sleepy, guess I'll take a nap." ViVi yawns as she lays down on the couch and slowly falls asleep.

ViVi wakes up to see Evan still hasn't come home yet, but her wishes came true because a few seconds later, the sound of Evan's door unlocking reached her ears. Shaking off her remaining drowsiness, she rushes to greet Evan a warm welcome home.
"Ah, ViVi, I'm bac- hurk!" Evan is cut off by ViVi tightly hugging him.
"Master, welcome home, did you have a good day?" ViVi asks him but is surprised to see Evan's face turning blue.
"Aah! Are you okay, master!" ViVi releases Evan and he quickly catches his breath.
"Yes, I'm fine now, don't worry" Evan reassures ViVi, though one thought crossed his mind for a second: Just how strong is she!?. God help him if Ms. Smith decides to put more girls in his care!
"Anyway, want to go out with me real quick? I'd like to keep my promise from last night." Evan reminds ViVi of their little deal.
"So you did remember our date, fufu." ViVi teases Evan.
"It's not a date, but you can think of it that way if you wish." Evan says.
"Yea, so, I'll wait here, sweetheart~" ViVi smiles at Evan.
Evan feels a twinge of warmth go through his heart for a few seconds before involuntarily blushing.
"Yeaa, I'm just gonna go get changed real quick." Evan walks to his room to get changed into cleaner clothes.
4 minutes later he's out with a fresh, clean shirt and pants.
"Okay, ready ViVi?" Evan asks her.
"Yes, master, thank you taking a dullahan like me out on a date~" ViVi grabs his arm for 5 seconds then lets go.
They go out, with Evan locking the door behind him, get into his car, then drive off to the store to get ViVi her gift.
They get to an "Ideal Sale" store (I was gonna put "Best Buy" but didn't wanna take my chances xd, I don't own Best Buy) and, surprisingly, find a spot in the parking lot to park on.
"Master, what are we doing here?" ViVi curiously asks Evan.
"Oh, I'm here to let you choose your laptop and I'll buy it for you." Evan explains what they're doing here.
"Hmm, I don't really know how to use a laptop yet, please teach me when we get home, master." ViVi says
"Sure thing, well, let's go inside". Evan says
They walk into Ideal Sale, grab a cart, and look for an employee to ask where they keep their laptops. Evan finds an employee manning the front desk and walks up to him.
"Excuse me, where can I find the laptops?" Evan asks the employee.
"Right this way sir, follow me." The employee walks off and Evan and ViVi follow him.
"Here we are, if you need assistance, please give me or any employee a call, take your time choosing."
"Thank you" Evan thanks the employee
The employee nods before walking off once more.
"Well, ViVi, here we are, choose whatever laptop you'd like, but first show me what it says on the small white box next to it, because some laptops may look nice, but have low storage space, will underperform on games, etc." Evan tells ViVi
"Sure, and if I can't choose, will you help me choose?." ViVi asks Evan.
"Of course I will, I've got a few recommendations but right now, choose what you like." Evan says.
"Okay." ViVi says as she browses her options.
There's a decent amount of laptops for sale, from business laptops to laptops meant for heavy games, some gaming laptops have benchmarks running to show how powerful they are and that they're worth buying. Evan thinks about buying himself a new laptop, his old one is good but it won't be good forever, even if he maxes it out with the latest parts that it supports. Maybe he could buy himself and ViVi two laptops with the same specs.
"Master, what does it say, I can't understand it." ViVi asks Evan about the laptop's specs.
"Oh, this one's got a pretty powerful CPU and GPU combo, as well as 32GB of random access memory, and a large amount of storage." Evan explains the specs to ViVi.
"So, is it good enough, master?" ViVi asks Evan.
"In my opinion, yes, do you want this laptop?" Evan asks her.
"Hmm, yes please, I'd like to have it." ViVi says.
"All right then." Evan replies.
Conveniently enough, a lamia employee slithers by.
"You guys need anything?" The lamia employee asks them.
"Yes, we'd like to buy two of this laptop, and 4 5TB external hard drives, please." Evan says, he then reads her nametag and finds out her name is Liliac.
"I think we have those in the back, let me go look, please wait here." She slithers away to an employee's only area, and comes out with two laptop boxes.
"Phew, here you go." She puts the laptop boxes on Evan's cart.
"About the hard drives, follow me, they're right here." Liliac slithers away once more, and Evan and ViVi follow her.
The trio come to a stop in front of the computer storage area, and sure enough, there are lots of external hard drives to choose from, and Evan has been planning to buy two for himself, one for storing his files and the other for backup, and two for ViVi with the same reasons now that she's getting her own laptop.
"Thank you for your assistance." ViVi says to Liliac.
"It's no problem, if you need help, don't hesitate to ask me or any employee." Liliac smiles before slithering away to help other customers.
ViVi turns back to see Evan putting the external hard drives in the cart, and with that done, they get in line to buy their items. ViVi, meanwhile, is intrigued at the technology for sale, yet is turned away when she sees the price tags at some of the nicer electronics, like the weird metal boxes with fans and metal parts inside, and screens connected to them in order to show how powerful the gaming desktop computers are compared to their laptop cousins. ViVi then sees that it's their turn to buy their items.
The cashier scans their items and rings up the total cost: $3600 for the laptops, and $280 for the 4 external hard drives. Evan decides it's fine, since he's saved up money while he was living alone because he didn't have anything else to spend it on other than house bills, food, and stuff like that.
Evan grabs his debit card (I did my research, and I think debit card's the right choice here: Debit cards are tied to one's checking account, and withdraw funds from that account.) and puts it in the card scanner, then waits for the transaction to be complete. Once the green checkmark appears on the screen, the cashier says that they're all set, and thank you for shopping at Ideal Sale.
Evan and ViVi take their leave and Evan drives the cart containing their items to his car, then he opens his right backseat door, since there's enough space back there for two laptop and 4 external hard drive boxes. They grab the laptop boxes and put it on the seat, then put the EX HDD boxes on top of them. Evan then closes the backseat door and unlocks his driver's door and the front passenger's door.
"I think our first date went pretty well, don't ya think, master?" ViVi smirks.
"It's not a date- I give up, let's just go home already." Evan fumbles with his keys but manages to turn on his car, then they drive back to his house.
Evan, to his surprise, finds a familiar van parked on his driveway. What could Ms. Smith want now?. Evan parks his car next to the van and gets out, with ViVi following him.
"Ah, Evan-kun, you're just in time to meet your new friend!" Smith presents Evan his new monster girl.
