Chapter 784: Busy

Early morning, Vahn found himself relaxing in a small study, reclining on a rather comfortable chair with three adorable little angels using his body to much the same effect. He was holding Aisha in his left arm, Autumn in his right arm, and had Lenneth sitting in his lap, snuggled up into his chest while her sisters used his shoulders as pillows. Vahn was going to be busy in the afternoon and had decided to spend some time with them but, partway through their small study session, Aisha had begun to doze off. With her taking the lead, the other two girls also decided it was a good time for a nap, thus leading to this rather wholesome situation Vahn found himself in.

From the entrance to the room, a pair of adorable rounded cat ears appeared, fixed atop the head of a rather beautiful young woman wearing a maid outfit. She, Emiru, had noticed there wasn't any sound coming from the room and peered in to see what was going on. Sighting Vahn with his three daughters all taking a nap, Emiru felt her heart flutter a bit and nearly jumped out of her skin when her Master suddenly opened his eyes. Vahn gave her a small smile, mentally asking ("Is there something the matter, Emiru...?")

The Snow Leopard in question lightly pat her chest to calm her rapidly beating heart as she returned a smile of her own and said, ("No, there isn't anything in particular, Master. I was just passing by and noticed it was very quiet, even though I could smell Master and the young missuses. I'm sorry if I disturbed you...") Bowing in a polite and proper manner, Emiru's rounded ears lay flat against her head, adding to appeal greatly. Seeing this, Vahn's smile softened and, if he could see his own affection towards others, he was certain that his would have gone up a few points towards the adorable little maid standing at the door.

As had been the case quite often recently, Vahn was feeling a little whimsical with his affections so, using his affections as a justification, he replied, ("I'll be busy this afternoon, but I haven't made any particular plans for the evening. The two of you should come by my room, if you're feeling up for it...") Almost as soon as the words left his mind, they resounded in Emiru's head, allowing Vahn to see her rounded and plush tail curl up excitedly as a lovely smile bloomed across her face. This time, she bowed even lower than before, palms crossed over her lap as she loudly responded, ("Yes, Master~! I'm looking forward to it, very much!")

Not tarrying much longer, Emiru left the room after her mental exclamation, a bit of a skip in her step as she drew a beeline towards her equally excited sister. Even though it wouldn't be for several hours, the two were planning to go through their wardrobe and pick out some suitable clothing for the event that would take place in the evening. Recently, they had been working with Haruhime to sew some 'unique' outfits that would appeal to their Master, this time a maid outfit that was missing a cover for the chest and had a skirt that barely covered half of the buttocks their Master was so fond of...

Though he didn't know exactly what she was thinking, Vahn knew that Emiru probably had something interesting planned based on her reaction. His own anticipation was beginning to build and he suddenly felt like the matter he needed to take care of this afternoon was a minor inconvenience. Of course, when that thought crossed his mind, Vahn immediately dashed it away since it was actually something very important towards the future. Not only would it potentially change the lives of everyone involved, but it was something that would have far-reaching effects on all people in the near, and distant, future.

There were still around four months until the next semester would begin but there were a few children that had been performing well in the 'Magical Studies' class. The majority were Elves, but there were also a few humans, three Beast Persons, and one of the children he had personally known even before the School had opened, the young orphan, Roux. As a Half-Elf, she wouldn't be able to use 'normal' magic, without undergoing Nirvana, but Roux actually had a decent aptitude when her control of magical energy had been tested. This meant, using Eva's magic system, she would be perfectly capable of using magic with a fair amount of study and a bit of practice.

Though she was only nine years old, slightly too early for any significant growth in her magical power, Roux had been studying very hard ever since entering the School. While Fina and Rye had still been stuck in the basic classes, Roux had actually earned five credits, two from passing her classes and three from self-study and taking exams on her own volition. It seemed she had taken his words back then very seriously and, not doubting them in the slightest, was absolutely determined to become a capable Mage. Since her success would fundamentally change the perception that Half-Elves couldn't use magic, Vahn had been giving her supportive words whenever he saw her surrounded by pillars of stacked books within the School's Library.

Thinking of the hard-working little Half-Elf, Vahn cracked a small smile and hugged his daughters close, hoping they would also be studious and hard-working in the future. Unfortunately, he knew Aisha and Lenneth leaned more towards Vana in nature, even though Lenneth would often use books as a pretext to spend time with him. As for Autumn, she was a very quiet girl who liked to go through picture books filled with various plants and animals. She had also started to show a small interest in medicine so Vahn assumed she would end up going the route of a physician or veterinarian...

While his main body was in the real world with his daughters, Vahn's avatar was within the orb fighting against Arnya. They had already decided who would be going on the expedition and, being one of the main forces that would be protecting Haven, Arnya had been trying to get as much practice with her [Pactio] as she could. Vahn had also wanted to try and get better at dodging fast attacks in his base form and, as Arnya was a very prodigious spearman, she was also one of the best possible candidates to help him improve his own spearmanship. In fact, after their very first lesson with each other, Vahn ended up obtaining the [Spearman:I] Development Ability, something he intended to at least get to A-Rank within the next 4-6 months. (A/N: There are around 25 days until the expedition, meaning Vahn's avatar could spend around 150 days in the orb. Leet haxor :)...)

Arnya's raiment was one of the more interesting ones among the girls, taking on the form of a tan overcoat in much the same way as Mikoto's. The biggest difference was that Arnya's had a strange cross-motif along the individual splits of the coat. There was also a circular gap formed by a golden loop, located around the divide of the two coattails that allowed her tail to poke through without causing any discomfort. At the same time, there were two belts that crisscrossed around her hips, keeping the coat in place as she dashed around at high speeds and barraged him with not one, but two spears in her hands.

Instead of simply using her spears as projectile weapons, Arnya had been developing a fighting style where she could freely pull them out and store them away in an instant, conserving her mana and making almost impossible to adapt to her fighting style. Even with the enhancements of his perception, Vahn often found himself pressured by the tempestuous attacks that would assault him from every conceivable angle. However, he hadn't been slouching nearly as much lately and, instead of being 'helpless' in the spar, Vahn was able to use his [Longinus] to parry a few of the attacks while using his own nimble body to evade the rest. He would still end up with some shallow cuts every now and then, but it was much better than when they first started sparring a few days priors. (A/N: Once again, this is a few days in the orb, not the real world.)

Previously, when his training with the girls had begun, it wasn't uncommon for him to lose an average of three limbs-per-minute, a unit of measurement that was rather unnerving. However, as he would only benefit even more by using such an 'extreme' method of training, Vahn had persisted to the point that he could now avoid any major loss of limbs against almost everyone except Haruhime and Ais. They were a bit of an exception, even amongst the group of exceptional girls, as Ais' attacks were almost impossible to counter while Haruhime's were impossible to read...

Towards the end of their spar, Arnya made a movement with her body spinning low to the ground, causing Vahn's hairs to stand on end as she disappeared from sight. Trusting his instincts, he used [Shundo] to move forward in a 'flicker' and kicked back after the small evasive maneuver. Arnya had appeared behind him, using a unique version of [Shundo] she had been developing and he had just barely avoided a decapitation by her true spear, [Gulgeirr].

Vahn's foot carried toward her abdomen, but Arnya skillfully traced the shaft of her spear in a circular motion to deflect the counter-blow while a golden light emerged from both the right and left sides of his body. In normal circumstances, he would have immediately moved to dodge with [Shundo] but this time Vahn surprised her by using the momentum of when she diverted his kick to jump, twisting his body as the two spears passed where he had previously stood. In the same motion, Vahn thrust his [Longinus] downward, aiming towards Arnya but finding her spear tracing a perfect line to meet his own.

Unfortunately for Vahn, this ended up being a misconception as, instead of coming to meet his spear, Arnya's passed just next to his, diverting it away from her body as her own traced a 'dangerous' path towards the fleshy bit between his legs. This time, even though his own use of teleportation was severely lacking, Vahn used nearly 90% of his energy reserves just to flicker a few meters away and avoid that especially dangerous strike. He couldn't help but look at Arnya with blame and indignation written across his face as she laughed in a mischevious manner, saying, "Nyahaha, I would have stopped before it hit. I don't think the girls would let me live it down if I actually followed through with that strike~."

Even with her words of assurance, Vahn felt like his legs had turned to jelly as he plopped down onto the ground and released a sigh. Arnya released another awkward laugh before stowing her [Gulgeirr] away in the small golden bracelet on her left wrist. Over the last year, with the assistance of Terra and her memory fragment, they had been able to emulate the function of a unique item he had purchased through the shop known as an [Interspatial Ring].

Vahn had learned about the ridiculously convenient item through his research into Cultivation and, by attuning metals with a high adaptability towards Space Elemental Laws, they had been able to create accessories for the girls to store extra equipment and items. They were another important secret of the Alliance, but Vahn intended to publicize them as one of Haven's unique products in the future. For these items alone, Vahn was absolutely certain that a large number of people would try to make the trip...

Arnya had walked over at this point, taking a seat next to him before laying down and using his spread arm as a pillow. Vahn didn't mind her action at all, as it was far tamer than how some of the girls would behave after their spars, so he just let her snuggle up at her leisure. Generally, after a hard-fought battle concluded, Vahn would then spend a good hour or so just relaxing with them before he moved on and began sparring with his next opponent. After Arnya, he would be facing off against the terrifying Ais, so Vahn felt like he needed to use this time to mentally prepare himself. Fortunately, with his real body snuggled up with his daughters, Vahn was able to fall into a relaxed state very quickly, at least until Arnya's somewhat dry tongue licked the base of his jawline.

For a brief moment, Vahn could feel his tensions increase but, after realizing she was just affectionately grooming him, he quickly calmed down and enjoyed the sensation. The giveaway had been the fact that her aura, while having a pink coloration, was filled with warm yellows and soft blues instead of anything more passionate. She was likely trying to 'apologize' for nearly skewering him previously so Vahn allowed the tensions to completely drain away while she systematically licked around the entire left side of his head, including the fringe of his scalp...

---

After enjoying his morning alongside his cute daughters, it was finally time for Vahn to head off to the School. Riveria had already been waiting for him outside the Manor's entrance so Vahn used his telekinesis to lift her body before flying off towards the School at a casual pace. Along the way, Riveria looked down over the City while enjoying the warm energy enveloping her body, remaining relatively silent until just before they reached the School's grounds. Still, when she did speak, it was only three soft words that Vahn wasn't quite sure were meant for him, simply, "Flying is nice..."

Upon landing, even though it wasn't necessary, Vahn extended his hand as he lowered Riveria's body to the ground. She graciously accepted it with a small smile and, like a goddess descending upon the earth, landed softly next to him. Vahn returned a smile of his own, stating, "If you'd like, I have confidence in creating an item that will allow you to fly for short distances. I still haven't had Asfi show me how she creates Magic Items, either, so I could probably reach out to her if you want something more practical..." Vahn recalled that Asfi actually had a pair of sandal-shaped magic items that could allow her to fly, figuring it would be a useful item for most of the girls, not just Riveria.

In response to his words, Riveria released a soft laugh and said, "I would like to be able to fly at your side, instead of being carried along by you. If it won't burden your current schedule, I wouldn't mind accepting such a gift...thanks in advance, Vahn." Then, looking around to ensure there were no witnesses, Riveria leaned in an gave him a light peck on the lips before a soft blush spread across her cheeks. Vahn's own expression turned into a gratified grin and, as it would be prudent to develop the items before the expedition, Vahn made a mental note to contact Asfi later.

Ever since the incident within the Dungeon, Vahn had only seen Asfi twice, both times when she had stopped by the Manor and rather awkwardly apologized before mentioning that she was prepared to make Magic Items whenever he was ready. Since he had been busy at the time, and also wanted to avoid any 'troublesome' developments, Vahn had politely turned her away and promised to reach out to her when he was ready. He knew that, especially the second time, he had hurt Asfi's feelings a little but, considering he wasn't trying to get involved with her, it had been a necessary action to take.

Vahn knew that Asfi still felt a lot of guilt about what happened and, as she had intended to make amends personally, it had been difficult on her knowing that she had yet to be called upon. The reason for this was simple, however, as Vahn had noticed her Affection was hovering in the upper nineties and was trending in a direction that would have them develop a relationship.

Though this was 'necessarily' a problem, Vahn didn't want to be involved with another person simply as a result of guilt or for personal indebtment. He knew that Asfi would inevitably request his assistance with her home Kingdom and, in order to ensure that he would help, would probably dedicate herself a little too strongly to him. Since he had already promised to help her, as a friend, Vahn felt uncomfortable with this thought and, as he couldn't even spend time with some of the girls he was already involved with, he simply prevented things from developing further from the start...

After walking along with Riveria for a few minutes, the two arrived outside of the Headmaster's Office, belong to Vahn himself. There was still a bit of time before the preliminary exam was scheduled to start so Vahn set out some tea for Riveria and the two relaxed in his relatively lavish office for a few minutes. During that time, Riveria had been leaning against his shoulder and Vahn had to fight the urge to nibble on her long ear, tantalizingly located just on the periphery of his vision. Since she would probably 'shun' him for a while after the fact, as a result of embarrassing her in public, Vahn behaved himself and just enjoyed the time they had together.

When it was nearing 1 PM, just after the children would typically finish eating lunch, Vahn and Riveria walked through the hallways towards their destination classroom, politely greeting the excited students who would loudly exclaim whenever they saw him. Most of the boys would have looks of excitement, mixed with a great deal of respect, while the larger student body, comprised of the girls, had a variety of different reactions.

Vahn knew there was a fan club comprised of some of the more 'excitable' girls within the School, but it wasn't that uncommon for many of the younglings to flush slightly whenever they came across him. It took a lot of self-restraint and individual training just for him to break the habit of patting anyone he came across, though it seemed like many of the girls hadn't been fond of this development as, at times, they would sometimes stand a little too close to him with expectant looks on their adorable little faces.

Along the way, seeing how all the students behaved around him, Riveria had a gentle yet teasing smile on her face as she said, "My, you are rather popular, my Husband...it seems the rumor within the Manor about you being good at coaxing young girls needs to be treated more seriously..." Vahn tensed up a little when he heard this but managed to laugh it off a few seconds later since he knew she was just teasing him a little. In truth, he did have a soft spot for children in general and it wasn't just the young girls that he would extend a hand to. If he knew they wouldn't be upset by the action, Vahn would ruffle the hair of some of the younger boys as well, giving a few kind words to encourage them to work hard.

After reaching the Classroom, Vahn saw Tenjin waiting for them along with a few students who had already arrived. Out of the corner of his eye, even though he had already sensed her, Vahn saw Roux fidget a little and it looked like she was having trouble trying to call out to him. To ease her burdens, Vahn took the initiative to send her a small wave, causing the young Half-Elf to blush as he turned to Tenjin and asked, "How have classes been going, Tenjin?" In response to this, the scholarly god issued a light chuckle and said, "This School of yours is actually quite amazing. I think, once everything settles down, I'd like to bring about some reforms in the Far East to match the standard you've established here."

Vahn gave a small nod, explaining, "There are a lot of specific guidelines that I'd like to have implemented for such things, but it has always been my intention to open more Schools in the future. Though I don't really have the logistical support to manage it now, I'm certain it will be possible once the various countries have stabilized a bit more. After all, it isn't really a practical solution to have every child born attend just two or three different Schools..." To this, Tenjin just nodded while stroking his non-existent beard, a habit that he had explained away as being part of his Divinity.

When all the students had arrived, almost each as excited as the rest to see both Vahn and Riveria, it was officially time to test each of their progress. Though he had been willing to see to their education himself, enough time had passed that Riveria was prepared to see to her own duties. She was the official Department Head of the Magic Division of the School and would be in charge of giving the children a basic education in language, magical geometry, ward creation, and basic incantations.

Vahn had already provided her with the majority of Eva's books on magic theory and Riveria had been making steady progress in her own research on the subject. Though she would never quite reach the pinnacle that people like Lefiya were working towards, Riveria would still be one of the most prolific magic scholars in the future. Of course, if she genuinely wished to become stronger, Vahn had already come up with several potential solutions, though the majority would have to wait until his return to the record in the far future...

After the explanations were finished, the preliminary tests were conducted and, over the twenty-nine applicants, only seventeen ended up meeting the pre-requisites. Unfortunately, Roux hadn't made the cut this time around since she didn't have a proper education prior to attending the School, unlike many of the other students. Still, this was just the first round of testing and the students actually had three more opportunities to improve upon their scores before the official enrollment would begin. To ensure Roux, and the other students, would be successful, Vahn gave them a short speech to encourage them and, as the testing had extended into the late afternoon, had all of them gather together for a special dinner with Riveria and himself. Since many of the children were orphans, Vahn knew it would help them a lot to, even for a moment, experience a lively dinner with a familial atmosphere...something he ensured by extending calming and comfortable energy through his domain...

Chapter 785: Duality

After enjoying a rather playful night with Emiru and Maemi, Vahn entered in into the Sub-Space Orb with both of his bodies, a rather rare occurrence that caused his mind to actually stall for a brief moment when he entered. He had been getting so used to experiencing two different flows of time at once that, the moment he entered with both of his bodies, Vahn felt like something was 'off'. Even so, it didn't take that long for him to recover and set out to see two different women that he had, rather unfairly, been forcing to wait for him to push things forward.

Though he was feeling a little nervous about going to them like this, Vahn was confident that both Risna and Mikoto wouldn't mind the sudden intrusion. He had already talked to both Aina and Eina about his relationship with Risna and, as they were both supportive of the idea, Vahn didn't want to keep the rather delicate looking novelist waiting. As for Mikoto, he was certain she would wait for years if he didn't take the initiative and, considering it 'had' been years within the orb, Vahn felt it was time for them to move to the next level. That left only Nanu, Shizune, and Tina for him to tend to later on, with the latter two being rather troublesome for slightly different reasons.

Shizune had been training hard with Chloe over the last few years and, though she no longer seemed focused on her revenge, her personality had become a little cold and distant. She was no longer the personable woman who would tease and casually chat with people, now spending a fair amount of her time talking with her own Shadow Summons instead of the others. It wasn't that she would avoid you if you tried to engage her in conversation, she just no longer sought it out on her own prerogative. Now, other than Milan, Chloe, Syr, Haruhime, Preasia, and Tina, Shizune didn't really go out of her way to talk to anyone.

Tina was a slightly different problem as, though she was of age, Vahn felt like she wasn't actually ready for a physical relationship. He felt that she needed to mature a bit more as, even compared to her past self, Tina didn't seem as sensible as she used to be. It was like her hard training, combined with her [Luck] Development Ability, had slowly caused her to develop a few quirks. Though she was generally very bubbly and outgoing around everyone, she would immediately become very clumsy, excitable, and angsty whenever he was around. He knew this was because she was anticipating their future relationship too much, causing him to feel a little worried about how she will behave once they finally consummated their relationship...

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Vahn gently knocked on the small cottage that had been built within the first layer of pressure along the orb's periphery. Since it wasn't as if the gravity had been increased, structures were able to remain stable without showing any significant signs of strain. Mikoto had asked him to help her build a cottage in the area so she could temper her body, even when sleeping. She took her training very seriously so, even though she 'rested' properly, it was just another method she used to train herself even further...

Mikoto, who had been inside the cottage silently meditating, opened her eyes with a start and quickly made her way to the door. Since she couldn't detect the presence of the person on the other side, she knew it was Vahn and, though she was pleasantly surprised to see him, it didn't really show on her face. Instead, she had a casual smile as she asked, "Vahn, did you come here to train with me? Please, give me a few minutes to get prepared and I'll be right out..." As it wasn't that uncommon for Vahn to seek her out, Mikoto was looking forward to another exciting training session, completely unaware of the actual purpose behind her Master, Lord, and Lover's visit...

Around the same time as he was meeting with Mikoto, Vahn was also standing outside the door to Risna's room, feeling somewhat hesitant about intruding into her 'sacred' territory. In general, she never let anyone into her room and, though he would likely be an exception, Vahn had never stepped into this inviolable space over the last year. The last time he had seen it, there was almost no space to even sit as Risna had piles of books, laundry, and miscellaneous items littering the whole area. Even her bed had been stacked with a pile of clean laundry, which also substituted as both a pillow and blanket to the rather peculiar young Half-Elf...

Soon, Vahn's hesitation ended up fading away, helped by the fact that Mikoto had turned beet red when he made his intentions clear to her. Currently, he was being invited into her cottage as she peered out the door to see if anyone else was nearby before closing it behind her and locking it. Though he kept a casual demeanor on that side, Vahn couldn't help but chuckle lightly outside of Risna's door before lightly rattling on it. He heard the sound of a pile of books being knocked over, followed by a somewhat pitiable groan before, nearly a minute later, Risna finally opened the door.

At first, Risna had an annoyed expression, emphasized by the rather haggard look she currently possessed. She was wearing a loose, pale pink, pajama top without any bottoms on, barely covering the stark white cotton panties doing their best to protect what remained of her dignity. Her muted green hair messily fell around her face which, even while appearing very tired, still had an adorable and youthful appeal, made more apparent when Risna's emerald green eyes opened wide and she suddenly shouted, "Vahn!? W-W-What...ah...nooooo, don't look at me~!"

For only the second time in his life, Vahn experienced having a door slammed in his face as the sound of Risna 'whining' as she quickly tried to fix her appearance sounded out from her room. He could hear her 'cursing' under her breath about showing up unannounced, all while simultaneously letting slip her 'expectations' and guesses behind his arrival. With his sensitive hearing, Vahn could hear everything she said and couldn't help cracking a smile as he patiently waited for her to prepare herself. Since she apparently wanted to try and hide some of the stuff in her room, it took nearly twenty minutes, but that gave him plenty of time to focus on what was happening at Mikoto's cottage...

Once she learned his reasons for stopping by, Mikoto had become somewhat tense and mechanical in her movements. In truth, she had been anticipating this moment for a while longer than she would care to admit. After all, she spent every day hearing other girls talk about their own interactions with Vahn and, though she never expressed much interest in the discussion, Mikoto had garnered a few expectations about this day. Now that it came down to it, however, she found her heart beating rapidly in her chest and it was difficult to stay calm as she tried to offer tea to Vahn...

Vahn found Mikoto's behavior adorable but knew she would need him to lead her into things in order to avoid stressing her out too much. She was always a little 'too serious', making it almost impossible for her to actually fall into the flow without being 'pulled' along. Thus, as she awkwardly offered to make him some tea, Vahn walked closer to her, causing Mikoto to take a deep breath as he reached out and stroked the left side of her face. With a smile on his own, Vahn leaned forward slowly, saying, "Mikoto...be mine..."

Stopping just a few centimeters away from her lips, Vahn waited for Mikoto to give a small nod before pulling her into his embrace instead of going the remaining distance on his own. She was startled, causing her eyes to widen greatly, but calmed down and began reciprocating the kiss he had imposed upon her rather forcefully. She twisted her right hand free, as he had been pulling her wrist, and began to cling to his tunic while slowly pressing herself closer to him. Vahn allowed her to 'push' him back with her efforts until he had impacted the side of the cottage. He kept his right arm around her waist as Mikoto stood on her toes and somewhat eagerly sought to extend the duration of their kiss even further.

As she was currently wearing just a light purple kimono, held closed with a red obi, Vahn used his left hand to remove the tightly bound red cloth, causing the kimono to open naturally. Mikoto temporarily broke free from the kiss, doing her best to calm her breathing as she looked down at her bound breasts and the singular piece of fabric 'protecting' the last bastion of her maidenhood. At the same time, Vahn's hand was loosely resting on her hip, thumb playing with the 'tape' that kept the cloth from falling away from her body.

Though she already knew the answer, Mikoto took a deep breath and turned her deep black eyes up at Vahn, brows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Vahn...do you love me...?"

Without any change in his expression, one which already showed a great deal of love and affection, Vahn nodded his head and said, "I probably can't love you as much as you deserve, but I will always do my best to make you happy, Mikoto...so, yes, I do love you..."

Hearing this, Mikoto felt her heart dancing around in her chest while her stomach was performing acrobatic feats that would have caused a circus performer to blush. She felt incredibly giddy just hearing Vahn say those words and, even though she had resolved to simply be his sword, retainer, and mistress, Mikoto couldn't help feeling a little happy at this moment. In fact, it was more than just a little happy and, if not for her own embarrassment keeping her in check, Mikoto felt like she wouldn't be able to stop herself from 'attacking' Vahn...

With a small nod of her head, and a happy smile affixed to her face, Mikoto leaned in and gave Vahn another kiss, saying, "I love you too, Vahn...it is hard to even describe all the reasons why...but I do...truly..." Punctuating her words with one last kiss, Mikoto's breathing started to rapidly increase as she added, "Now, let me do my duty...I have prepared myself for this day for a long time...please, leave it to me..." Without explaining how she had 'prepared', Mikoto began crawling down his body while Vahn continued to stand with his back to the wall. Her fingers dexterously unfastened his belt and, in the blink of an eye, Mikoto had released the dragon that had been threatening to break free from the restraints keeping it at bay.

Vahn's eyes widened slightly as Mikoto moved her hair to the side and brought her mouth close to his exposed member, pressing her muted cherry-red lips to his glans as she began licking it. Since she was an inexperienced woman, Vahn immediately understood just who Mikoto had been talking to in order to 'prepare' herself. The image of a mischevious four-tailed Renard appeared in his mind as Mikoto suddenly attempted to try and take his full length after lubricating it with her saliva. As she didn't really have the technique to pull it off, she ended up gagging before she even got half of it in, eyes widening in surprise as she tried to adjust her angle while slowly bobbing her head...

Understanding that there was simply too much stuff in her room to hide it all, Risna eventually gave up and instead focused on trying to fix her appearance. She hoped that Vahn hadn't been upset when she closed the door and prayed he was still waiting for her. So as not to keep him waiting even longer, even though it had already been nearly twenty minutes, Risna just took a hairband and tied her somewhat messy hair up into a ponytail and tried to fix a few of the stray locks using a small mirror. She then wiggled into a pair of form-fitting pink shorts, noting that they were fitting a little tighter than she remembered and hoping that she hadn't been putting on any weight...

After finishing her preparations, Risna took a few deep breaths to try and calm down, muttering, "It's okay, Risna, you can do this...!" She repeated similar phrases a few times, psyching herself up until she was confident in finally opening the door. When she saw that Vahn was indeed still waiting on the outside, Risna couldn't prevent a smile from blooming on her face as she asked, "What brings you to my room, Vahn? Don't tell me that you finally decided to calm the fire in my tiny little heart~?" To ease the tension, Risna had tried to make a joke, even if it hurt a little knowing that he probably hadn't come by for such a reason. At this point, she fell like Vahn didn't actually like her and, if not for the fact that she was Eina's sister, wouldn't have even cared about her at all...

Contrary to her expectations, to the extent that she didn't even process the words that left his mouth, Vahn nodded his head and said, "Yes, that was my intention. Sorry for keeping you waiting, Risna. I haven't shown you the care you deserve...please forgive me." To emphasize his remorse, Vahn gave an apologetic bow, further startling the already confused Half-Elf. Her brain was still trying to make sense of the situation and, by the time the gears had clicked into place, Risna's face had turned completely red as her legs turned to jelly. Feeling faint, Risna fell forward but, instead of colliding with the nearby tower of books, she found herself landing in a warm and intoxicating embrace. Without her brain processing what her body was doing, Risna deeply inhaled the fragrance of the boy in front of her, closing her eyes in the process as she enjoyed the aroma that tickled her nose, lungs, and heart...

As he was very accustomed to the girls enjoying his aroma, as it was a common trait among many of those he associated with, Vahn didn't mind Risna absentminded actions. Instead, he just casually helped her rise to her feet, supporting her shoulders as he said, "If you'll accept me, Risna, I would like to take our relationship to the next level. We don't have to do anything too serious, but I'd like to spend some time with you..."

Still feeling a little absentminded and flustered, Risna just stared blankly back at Vahn as her tired mind slowly made sense of the information. She regretted the fact that she had spent the last thirty hours writing her novel and felt like downing an entire kettle of black tea just to force her brain to start functioning properly. When a few words finally clicked into place, Risna just blurted them out without really thinking about them, startling herself and Vahn in the process as she practically screamed, "Yes, please! I have a ton of things I want to try!" Her mind had been filled with all the delusions she had harbored over the last six years, now swarming around in her head like a school of fish that threaten to drown her rationale completely.

Though things were progressing in a slightly different way than he expected, Vahn nodded his head, smiling as he said, "Sure. From now until you wake up later, I'm at your disposal..." He had already decided to stay with Mikoto and Risna until they were completely satisfied, including any necessary aftercare. To Risna, however, these words seemed to set off an explosion in her mind as she quickly ran over to her bed and pulled out a stack of books without titles on them, fingering through them rapidly until she apparently found what she was looking for. Then, with a resolute nod of her head, Risna muttered, "Yosh! You can do it, Risna!" before scampering over and shoving the book into his chest.

Taking a deep breath, Risna too excitedly stammered, "Please, do everything in this book! I...I want to live out the fantasies in my head, just to see if my imagination matches what I wrote on paper...!" While she yelled this, Risna's face had become beet red and it looked like she was on the verge of passing out as a result of her rapidly building tensions. To prevent this, Vahn nodded his head, stowing away the book and stroking her head as the contents were rapidly processed in his mind. While he helped to calm her mind, Vahn's own started to buzz after he saw what Risna had in mind in book identified by the system as ['My First Time With A Beast']...

Within the book, there was even a 'script' that she wanted him to follow, making it sound as though he greedily sought her body and wanted to 'eat' her. Her own lines were also annotated with slightly shaky pen strokes, making her seem like a frail and helpless young woman who couldn't escape the 'tragic' fate that would befall her. As for the contents of what she wanted him to do...it was far more advanced than what Vahn had expected for a 'maiden'. He realized that, probably from reading too many romance novels written by other people, Risna had developed some rather...deviant tastes...

Much like Risna had, Vahn also took a deep breath and resolved himself to help Risna's fantasies come true, so long as they didn't develop in a dangerous direction in the future. He had already promised to do what he could and, though the things described were a little advanced, it wouldn't be the first time he had acted out a 'play'. Anubis, Loki, Maemi, and Emiru were all rather fond of the uniquely intimate act and, at this point, Vahn had a wealth of experience to pull from in order to guide Risna towards a 'safe' direction. Still, that didn't mean he wouldn't start things off according to her expectations so, after helping replenish her stamina, Vahn moved his hand to caress Risna's cheek, tracing it past her pointed ears, and then pulling her towards him in a slow but firm manner as he brought his face to the side of her own and said, "From now on...even if you want to leave me...I will make your body unable to do so...from now until the heavens fall upon the mortal world, you will be mine, and mine alone..."

Risna's body began to tremble, simulating fear but actually the result of her rapidly rising tensions. She weakly pushed against his chest, whimpering, "No...please...spare me..." Vahn, however, following the script, began to lick the upper ridge of her ear from root to tip, saying, "It's your own fault, Risna...how can I not eat up such a tantalizingly sweet young maiden..." Punctuating his words, Vahn began nibbling on Risna's ear as she writhed about in his embrace, trying to break free from his inescapable grasp. Then, with her anxious moan as his cue, Vahn put pressure into his hands, firmly gripping Risna's pert little buttocks as he stated in what he intended to be a possessive manner, "I have already decided...there is no escape for you now...blame your own tragic fate for giving you an appearance that stirs up my beastly nature...don't worry, Risna, even if your body can't live without me, I won't let you have any regrets...now, give yourself to me...or I will take it from you..."

With her jaw quivering from 'fear', Risna's delicate fingers tightened around the fabric of his tunic as she looked up with wavering eyes and said, "Then take me...I'm yours...you beast..."
