Capítulo 480: Unexpected Changes
Though they could have continued for a while longer, Vahn ended up calling the excursion to an early end after a little over five hours because he had started to feel a strange 'fullness'. All of his joints ached slightly and hit total parameters had just crept over the 6,500 mark during their earlier battles. Even though he wasn't contributing that much to the actual fights, Vahn was expending a great deal of energy while sustaining both Fenrir and Lefiya while also practicing his elemental control when it was suitable. He wasn't gaining a lot of exillia, but his mastery of his own Innates and his comprehension of the laws themselves were promoting his growth. Just like when he experienced huge developments in his Magic parameter in the orb, as a result of his Innates increasing in strength, Vahn was circumventing the worlds restrictions a bit.
After the exited the 51st floor, Vahn decided to take a short rest to increase his own Level so he turned to Fenrir and Lefiya before saying, "There isn't anyone within 509m of our location, but I can look around for a bit and make sure there isn't anyone beyond that either. I'll set up a basin if the two of you want to wash up and then I'm going to increase my Level. You can wait until we return to the encampment, but I can update your Status Board here if you want to check your growth..." Fenrir raised her paw like a rocket and said, "Fenrir wants to take a bath~!" before Lefiya had any chance to offer input of her own. Not wanting to make an enemy out of the small wolf girl, Lefiya showed a small smile and said, "I don't really need to take a bath...but I'd appreciate it if you set up a tent before checking the area. Taking off my clothing in the open forest is a little..."
Vahn nodded his head and removed one of the already established tents he had set up previously. Other than his large tent, Vahn had several smaller ones that were already in a condition to be used at a moments notice. To get around having to stake them down to the ground, Vahn had developed flat stone slabs that the tent rested on so he could create an entire encampment with the wave of his hand if necessary. Lefiya thanked him before making her way into the tent as if she were retreating while Fenrir was content with having an open-air bath. She wasn't worried about anyone showing up at all because she would have been able to smell the scent of any enemies if they had been in the area recently.
After filling a large basin with the 'essence' water and heating it up to a steamy temperature, Vahn scouted the surrounding area for a few kilometers and updated his minimap before returning a few minutes later. Other than a few small animals and insects, there were no other life signs and Vahn could tell by the relatively stagnant currents of mana that there hadn't been anyone coming through this area while they were down below. The only signatures he could pick up were small spatial fluctuations he had created earlier in the day and there were no discernable tracks left behind by other Adventurers. As an extra precaution, Vahn sent out several pulses of his sonar-like ability just to make sure there were no 'invisible' enemies trying to exploit a momentary gap in his awareness.
Satisfied with the relative security of the area, Vahn made his way back to their makeshift encampment and nearly fell over when he landed nearby. Though she had said she didn't need a bath earlier, Vahn found Lefiya trembling slightly as she scrubbed Fenrir's hair and fur with a special shampoo that had no scent, as Fenrir was very sensitive to 'perfumes' of most cleaning agents. She had removed barrette that held her golden-yellow hair up in a ponytail so it drapped around her back and shoulders as she made a futile attempt to hide her naked figure behind Fenrir's body. As for the wolf-girl in question, Fenrir waves both paws at Vahn with a smile on her face and said, "Fenrir and Lefiya decided to take a bath together. Vahn should take a bath also~."
Though the basin Vahn had set up for Fenrir's use was quite large, as she liked to splash around a bit in the water, it wasn't a size that would be comfortable for three people to use. He scratched the side of his hair with his eyes averted to the side as he thought of a solution but was surprised to find that Lefiya, who was still using Fenrir as a shield, peeked around and said, "I...I don't m-mind..." Vahn looked over at Lefiya's fiercely blushing face and she once again hid behind the grinning Fenrir who seemed especially pleased, almost like a child that had completed a prank. Vahn had only been gone for about seven minutes earlier so he had no idea what Fenrir had done to convince Lefiya to go to this extent...
As Lefiya had likely mustered up a lot of courage for this act, Vahn decided not to disappoint her and the mischevious Fenrir. After unequipping his clothes, Vahn made his way over before lowing himself into the basin, opposite of Lefiya with Fenrir between them. Because of his height, his legs intertwined with Lefiya's which caused her blush to turn crimson as she breathed loudly through her nose. Other than when she had cared for his body, this is the closest Lefiya had willingly been to Vahn during their bath when other girls weren't around. If not for Fenrir blocking her line of sight, and her unwillingness to stare at him, there wouldn't be anything blocking her from viewing Vahn's figure up close...
Vahn could see Lefiya had lost herself in her thoughts once again and decided to let her come back to her senses on her own as he picked up a sponge and began wiping down Fenrir's body. She lifted her chin up high in response and spread both of her arms so Vahn could get all the nooks and crannies. Fenrir liked being washed by Vahn more than anyone else and it always made her feel very happy, like there were little fairies dancing about in her stomach. Fenrir had never eaten a fairy before, but she felt like this was the most accurate description because she knew they spread happiness.
While he washed her body, Vahn was passing his eyes over Fenrir with a bit of intrigue and concern as he carefully attended to her. Even though it had been several months, Fenrir's body hadn't changed at all and even the arrangement of her fur was exactly the same. Though her parameters were also increasing, there were no signs of their influence on her body and Vahn felt a similar concern for her as he had for Eva within the orb. He knew she would one day want to do 'adult' things with him but Vahn was worried it would be a very painful experience for her unless he could find a way to help her body mature and evolve even further. As she was genderless as a Kobold, Fenrir's transition into becoming a female included some of the 'troublesome' aspects as well. As he often tended to her body, Vahn knew that she could be considered a 'maiden' and there was a very high chance she would always be one...
When he had been talking with Eva about her past, one of the things she confided in him was the reason why her real form was a virgin even after six-hundred years. Though her real body wasn't developed, Eva could change her form with magic and emulate the appearance of an adult at the cost of a bit of mana. However, she 'complained' to him about how creepy most men were during her time as a Shinso Vampire and that regeneration almost guaranteed the event would be very painful. As she was an immortal with nearly instant regeneration, Eva would be as much a virgin before having sex as she was during and after the act came to an end. Though Fenrir didn't have instant regeneration, she still returned to her default state after enough time passed which meant her body would always be trying to 'return' to normal instead of 'healing'...
Unaware of what he was thinking, Fenrir pat her paws on the water surface, since Vahn already washed her arms, and said, "If Vahn was like Fenrir, she could wash him...Fenrir really wants to wash Vahn sometime..." Broken from his mild rumination, Vahn looked into Fenrir's eyes and saw the briefest hint of a plea contained within them. Since he was afraid that he might accidentally scratch Lefiya, Vahn pulled his feet closer to his body until he knees came out of the water before a magical light appeared and caused his body to change. In even less time than the past, Vahn completed his transformation into a Vanargandr and instantly felt his legs get soaked through by water. Fenrir was ecstatic at the change and immediately dove at Vahn before nuzzling affectionately against him like she had the first two times he adopted this form.
Lefiya had been stirred to awareness by the fluctuations of magical energy and was surprised to find Vahn's hair had turned the same color as Fenrir's as a large pair of ears drooped slightly atop his head. Though she wasn't entirely sure why, Lefiya felt a little less fearful now because she knew there was little chance of Vahn doing anything now that he had paws and claws. After releasing a small sigh of relief, Lefiya realized she had lost her 'shield' because Fenrir's butt was popping up out of the water as her tail splashed about. She lowered herself further into the water and covered her chest in an attempt to hide her breasts but noticed that Vahn wasn't really paying any attention to her. Though she had been relieved earlier, Lefiya now felt slightly vexed because she felt like she wanted him to look even though she would hide away from him if he did...
Though he might not have known the reason, Fenrir knew exactly why she acted in this manner every time her Master became the same as her. She felt a powerful compulsion to mix her scent with his, almost as if she were marking him with her scent. It was also very comfortable to rub against his body without having to worry about hurting him so it was very difficult to stop herself from indulging for a little while whenever he changed. When she was finally satisfied, Fenrir decided to keep true to her word by picking up the sponge and using it to wipe around Vahn's chest, neck, and arms in a very unskilled manner. She couldn't hold the sponge properly since her claws would just tear through it, so she had to compensate by holding it against Vahn's body like she was squishing it.
Vahn regretted his actions a little bit because Fenrir was 'eagerly' washing his body while straddling his hips. Fortunately, even though Syr had 'taught' him to react to a girl's actions, Vahn was still able to control himself and avoid a potential disaster scenario. He just enjoyed the somewhat unskilled washing of Fenrir and casually commented, "We can't do this too often, Fenrir, but every now and then is fine..." Hearing his words, Fenrir nodded her head several times before patting Vahn's shoulder with her paw and saying, "Fenrir will wash your back now~!" Then, instead of waiting for Vahn to turn around, Fenrir stood up from the basic and 'climbed' around Vahn's body before plopping into the water behind him. Vahn squinted his eyes as a small smile appeared on his face because of how 'clever' Fenrir was trying to act...
From behind him, Fenrir pushed against his head a little and said, "Vahn, you need to scooch forward or I can't fit." Vahn was very well aware of this but he wasn't the only one as Lefiya was looking at him like a small animal that had just encountered a hunter with their bow drawn. Her bottom jaw trembled slightly as her rosy complexion began to turn somewhat pale. However, though she had obvious inhibitions, Lefiya moved back slightly and pulled her feet up to allow Vahn more space to move. Vahn smiled slightly and said, "Lefiya, go ahead and turn around...I'll help wash your hair and also update your Status Board since its a good opportunity..." Though she was being very 'brave', Vahn could see Lefiya's aura sputtering like a flame caught in a powerful wind so he wanted to give her an 'out' that didn't result in her having to retreat and overtax herself.
When she heard Vahn's words, Lefiya felt a great deal of relief as she pulled in her legs close to her body and spun around in the basin without rising. She found that it was much easier to tolerate the situation with her back to Vahn and felt some small comfort knowing that he was worried about her. Though he smiled at her, Lefiya could see the concern in his eyes and knew he was giving her a 'compromise' that still allowed her to be bold. He didn't know it, but when Vahn had left earlier to scout the area, Fenrir had come into the tent and continued to tell her that she was a 'good' girl and that it was 'okay' to get pampered by Vahn.
According to Fenrir, it would trouble Vahn if she kept 'struggling' so much and it was very obvious to Fenrir that Lefiya wanted Vahn's attention because of her behavior and the earlier remark she uttered under her breath. It was a little strange, as Fenrir was somewhat ineloquent, but Lefiya found her words strangely compelling and she eventually decided to craft a scheme with the surprisingly 'clever' wolf girl. After mustering up all of her courage, Lefiya ended up getting into the bath as she anxiously awaited Vahn's arrival. Various thoughts ran through her mind and she was very curious how Vahn would react to her sudden appearance. However, she was also very embarrassed to be seen and her emotions were at war with each other and Lefiya didn't know which ones to focus on...
Vahn could sense Lefiya's struggle as he gingerly moved her hair to the side and traced a line of blood down her back. Though he had claws now, there were small paw pads on the ends of his fingers and Vahn had pricked into one of them while paying special attention to avoid touching her skin with his claw. A blue light shone on Lefiya's back as the blood disappeared and was replaced by the smiling clown crest of the Loki Familia interspaced with several hieroglyphs that were written in the language of the gods that Vahn was easily able to interpret as a result of The Path's influence.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vahn saw that Lefiya's magic had already broken through the cap, which made sense seeing as how she had killed well over a thousand monster while casting spells almost non-stop, but the most shocking thing was the change in her Endurance. Lefiya hadn't been engaging in direct combat and hadn't been moving around much, which was why her Agility had suffered a bit, so there was no reason for her Endurance to increase so 'explosively'. The only explanation was that she had been influenced by Vahn's source energy and this was a very surprising revelation that he would need to test in the near future. Though it was only D-Rank, it was nearly reaching the combined totals of Lefiya's previous two levels so it was a significant matter that required further study.
After recording Lefiya's status, Vahn handed her the piece of paper for her own perusal as he explained, "As you might have expected, your magic underwent a qualitative change today and you already managed to reach the 'standard' peak. Though you might normally level up in this type of situation, your body should be capable of withstanding around 2,000-2,2000 additional parameters so I would encourage you to stay at your current level for a while longer..." While he spoke, Vahn had already started combing through Lefiya's surprisingly long hair as he treated it with a light oil-based shampoo that was popular with the girls that had long hair. Lefiya's trailed all the way down to her butt, and he had seen her using it in the past and knew she was fond of the slight citrus smell.
Lefiya had been so dazed by her own parameters that she didn't even have time to 'worry' about Vahn's expert-level care and just kept staring at her Magic stat with wide eyes. Though she knew it was possible, as she had accepted the flame seed from Vahn in the hopes it would one day come to pass, Lefiya still had trouble believing she was seeing her own stats. Now that it was confirmed she could indeed break through the 'limit', Lefiya felt a rising anticipation that spread through her body and made her tremble slightly.
This was irrefutable proof that she had the capabilities of becoming a powerful Mage that could even surpass her mentor, Riviera, who was considered one of the most prolific Mages in several centuries. She had always been lauded as a genius, but now Lefiya knew such things weren't nearly as important as pursuing your path with an open mind and making efforts to improve yourself...limits were something that was arbitrarily decided by other people, not something you needed to be bound by. When she thought of this, the image of Vahn appeared in Lefiya's mind and she was suddenly very aware of his actions in caring for her hair. Her body began to tremble for a slightly different reason, but Lefiya furrowed her brows slightly to resist it as the anticipation she had felt began to change into a resolve...
While he was washing her hair, Vahn saw an 'anomaly' appear all of a sudden and parted Lefiya's hair to get a better view. He had yet to lock up her status board, so the Loki Familia crest was still visible and Vahn had seen a slight change sneakily take place. Though most people might have missed it, Vahn was very attentive when he was treating a girl's hair and had seen the small shift. After getting a better view, a small smile appeared on Vahn's face and he was about to say something before a bit of soap got into his eye. Fenrir had been scrubbing around his shoulders and head once again and had lathered up enough shampoo that Vahn's hair and ears could hardly be seen now. He wasn't sure if she had done it intentionally, but a small trail of shampoo had trickled down his face when he parted Lefiya's hair before it traced a path directly into his right eye...
Vahn rubbed his eye and said, "Fenrir, I think that is enough shampoo..." before rinsing his hair with a wooden pail. Fenrir surprisingly started laughing in a somewhat mischevious manner before dropping the sponge into the water and hugging Vahn's back while leaning against him. She still had suds in her own hair so Fenrir wanted to get rinsed off at the same time as him. Understanding this, Vahn continued to pour the hot whatever over them as he remarked to Lefiya, who had turned her head slightly to look at them, "I'm not sure what changed, Lefiya, but I just noticed something very important that you need to be aware of..." Lefiya tilted her head slightly and asked, "What is it...Vahn?" as a blush began to rise on her face once again.
Though he wasn't sure what she was thinking of, Vahn smiled and explained, "You awakened a rare skill, but it shows up in the Development Abilities category as [Daughter of Wishe]. I'm not sure what it does, or how you actually develop it, so it'll be up to you to figure it out. If you need any help, feel free to consult either me or Riveria and we'll both do our best to help you..." Lefiya had been very curious about what Vahn was going to say but his spoken words were far beyond any of her expectations and caused her eyes to open wide. A rare skill was something worth discussion amongst an entire City while a rare magic was something that could become a 'legacy' for an entire clan. However, neither were comparable to a rare Development Ability and Lefiya even knew partially why it had awakened when it did...
Moments before she felt Vahn part her hair, Lefiya had decided to try her best to reach the true 'pinnacle' of magic, which didn't seem to even exist. The only way she could do this was staying at Vahn's side, but Lefiya didn't want to take 'advantage' of him just because she wanted to learn from him. Knowing that the flame seed in her chest was dependant on her affections for Vahn, Lefiya had resolved herself to do everything she could to become closer to him in the future. Though it was a strange comparison, Lefiya wanted Vahn to treat her in a similar manner as he treated Fenrir since the two seemed very comfortable and affectionate with each other.
Lefiya even had a slight delusion about him turning into an Elf, or even a High Elf, to match her as he washed down her body with the same attention that he showed Fenrir. When this thought had crossed her mind, Lefiya sent out a silent prayer to Wishe, one of the first Elves born from a spirit in the past. Even the magic she was most known for, [Elf Ring], used Wishe in the chant and Lefiya always felt a strong bond with the ancestor of the Elves...now that she had awakened a Development Ability called [Daughter of Wishe], Lefiya wasn't quite sure of what to think but there were two things she firmly believed. From now on, she would become closer and closer to Vahn until there was no discernable distance between them. At the same time, she would endeavor to become one of the greatest Mages in history while studying and researching magic at his side. Though it took a bit of courage, Lefiya relaxed her body a little bit before turning around to face Vahn without making any attempt to conceal herself from his eyes...

Capítulo 481: Master
Vahn had been somewhat surprised by the notification within the system because the 'sound' emitted when it informed him someone wanted to become his subordinate was always louder and more 'insistent' than others. However, it didn't seem like he would be given time to think about it right now since, as he cast a quick glance toward the item descriptions, Lefiya had suddenly turned around and looked directly at him. He wasn't exactly sure why, presumably because of the subordinate notification, Vahn felt a little bit of pressure from Lefiya and inadvertently swallowed when she lowered her hands and stopped concealing her breasts.
Lefiya's body was trembling greatly and had taken on a rudy crimson coloration but the resolute look in her eyes persisted as she said, "Ano...I want you to look at me...for however long it takes for me to get used to it...please watch me closely from now on, Vahn!" Lefiya looked like she had just completed a marathon after she shouted out the last words. She seemed to desperately want to conceal herself and was even leaning forward slightly as if she wanted to retreat into the water. Unfortunately, she just caused her breasts to dangle forward slightly and made them even more prominent as they grazed the water's surface.
Other than stare blankly, Vahn didn't know how else to react and it wasn't until the notification sounded within his head once again that he snapped out of his stupor. He habitually averted his eyes but this caused a strange reaction in Lefiya as she reached forward, almost like she wanted to turn his face back to her. Fortunately, Vahn looked at her before she completed the action so she dropped her hands and continued to watch him with her resolute Dark Blue eyes. Vahn was thinking about his reaction when Fenrir, who had still been clinging to his back, said, "Lefiya is a good girl..." as if it was all the explanation he needed. As if incited by Fenrir's words, Lefiya raised her chin slightly and tried to sit up straight as she said, "Please...I want you to look..."
Vahn released a silent sigh through his nose as he continued to ignore the notification from the system and began to look over Lefiya's body with his gaze. She trembled greatly and even started to bite her lip, but Lefiya made no efforts to hide her body and even stood up in the basin to reveal the contents that had been 'hidden' by the warm water. Vahn was already very familiar with Lefiya's body, so he wasn't that surprised by the revelation, but it didn't stop him from feeling slightly flush because he knew the circumstances were somewhat 'tense'. She was very fair skinned, had budding breasts that looked like they would reach a B-Cup in the near future, and had a thin waist with somewhat thin thighs. She was a very cute girl, but Vahn couldn't help but feel she was far too 'young' after casting a glance downwards.
Lefiya's mouth was open slightly and Vahn could see her lower jaw quivering as she watched him trace his gaze across every part of her body. When he looked back up at her, Lefiya strangely nodded before turning around and moving her long hair to the front of her body, completely exposing her backside. Vahn realized her intention and inspected her from top to 'bottom' once again before mentally commenting, ("She has a very small butt...but it's cute?"). Sis, hearing his comment said, (*You can probably convince her to exercise a bit if you're that worried about it, Vahn.*) Hearing Sis's laughter and her somewhat 'amused' tone, Vahn's eyes widened slightly before he turned his gaze back to Lefiya's face.
When Vahn's eyes were drawn to her butt, Lefiya felt a little self-conscious because she knew from the other girls that Vahn liked butts. Her's wasn't really much to speak of and she hadn't thought about it much until she somehow found herself 'displaying' her body to Vahn. She suspected he would claim to not mind it, but Lefiya resolved to talk with some of the other girls, especially Tsubaki and Lunoire, as they both had bigger butts than other girls. She already knew 'dancing' was a good way to shape her hips and thighs so she could also try talking to Haruhime or learn the traditional dances from Tiona and Tione, both girls with 'developed' butts...
As he had seen her aura flickering about in a strange manner, Vahn assumed Lefiya was feeling a little self-conscious so he smiled and said, "You're very cute, Lefiya...you will become a beautiful woman in the future." With an 'as expected' kind of look on her face, Lefiya nodded before turning back around and sitting down in the water. To Vahn's surprise, she had calmed down a great deal all of a sudden and seemed to be thinking about something until she said, "I know it's a bit early, but I want you to take me as your disciple, Vahn. Even if I'm able to reach the pinnacle of magic through my own efforts, I've decided that I would rather get there with you...I don't know if what I'm feeling is love, but I know I've liked you for a very long time...I want us to be closer together until...until we can be as close as you and Fenrir are..."
Hearing her name, Fenrir opened her eyes and looked at Lefiya as if she had just obtained a new rival. She had been 'resting' against her Master because he was currently talking with Lefiya and had stopped paying attention until she heard her name mentioned. Seeing the resolute in Lefiya's eyes, Fenrir said, "If Lefiya is a good girl...Master will treat us both well...but Master is the best to Fenrir. If Lefiya tries to take Master away, Fenrir will..." For a brief moment, Fenrir was tempted to say that she would 'eat' Lefiya but realized those were very dangerous words. If she made such threats right in front of her Master, he would undoubtedly think she was being a 'bad' girl. She had been trying super hard to get along better with the other girls lately and didn't want to undo everything just to threaten a potential rival. Instead of completing her threat, Fenrir squinted her eyes and said, "Fenrir will work harder than anyone else to be Master's favorite...Lefiya can try her best too..."
Lefiya had felt a chill run down her back for a brief moment but nodded her head in a resolute manner and said, "Yes, I will do my best from now on! That's why...!" More than any of the previous instances, the notification of Lefiya wanting to become his subordinate sounded out in Vahn's mind like a loud alarm. He was tempted to refuse her in his mind while accepting her in reality, much like he had done for Nanu, but Vahn believed Lefiya was much more stable than the Chienthrope girl. She was the type that put a lot of thought into her actions, putting even more into some of her delusions, so Vahn knew she had seriously considered the matter.
Since he was also interested in something, Vahn nodded his head and said, "Very well, Lefiya, from this point on you are my apprentice. However, if you'd like to be like Fenrir...you would have to become my subordinate as well..." Lefiya continued to stare back with a resolute gaze but Vahn could see several questions forming in her mind. Vahn smiled slightly and explained, "I can form contracts with people that gives me a stronger bond with them and allows us to understand each other better. But, and this is something you need to consider seriously, it also allows me to influence you slightly through my own thoughts...if you are loyal enough to me, I may even be able to dictate your actions..."
Lefiya's dark blue eyes darted around as she rapidly processed the information Vahn was disclosing to her. She could tell he was being truthful to her and it made her both happy and worried at the same time. If his words were taken in an extreme meaning, it meant that he could even 'control' her in the future, though it seemingly required her 'loyalty' to allow him to do so. Lefiya was somewhat hesitant but she saw the unwavering gaze of Fenrir looking directly at her and nodded as she said, "Even if things get difficult in the future, I believe that you will never do anything to hurt me, Vahn. And...I'm somewhat curious about how that bond works...if possible, please tell me when you're doing something so I can familiarize myself with it and understand it better..."
Vahn had expected Lefiya to be more hesitant but she instead seemed somewhat insistent on the matter. It might be her inherent curiosity, as she was very interested in things that were somewhat 'mystical' in nature. Before he nodded his head, however, Vahn asked Sis, ("I can remove the subordinate status from people willingly, can't I?") Almost before he had completed the question, Sis answered, (*Yes, but the person's 'Loyalty' parameter in the system would reset to 50 and you wouldn't be able to accept them as a subordinate again.*) Hearing her reply, Vahn smiled and nodded his head as he said, "From now on, you'll be both my Apprentice and Subordinate Lefiya...I promise that I will do my best to make sure you never regret your decision today."
Lefiya smiled in return before blinking in confusion because she suddenly felt like there was a 'link' between her and Vahn. She was curious, so she asked, "Can you show me how the 'compulsion' works once...? And, umm, please don't make me do anything strange..." Vahn had briefly glanced at the system and saw that Lefiya's Loyalty was already at 91, which showed that she had already made some pretty significant decisions about their relationship. Since she was curious, Vahn considered the matter for a moment before 'ordering' Lefiya to wag her ears. He knew Elves had a fair amount of control over their ears, if they put in the effort, and he thought it would be cute.
As she was waiting for Vahn to tell her to do something, Lefiya felt like being passive was going to make things weird so she decided to lighten the atmosphere a bit by trying to make Vahn laugh. After thinking about it briefly, Lefiya felt a bit of heat rise to her cheeks as she slightly flexed the muscles around the side of her head and made her ears waggle. She knew Vahn liked teasing Elves and he would probably find the action to be very cute. As expected, Lefiya saw Vahn show a wide smile but she was shocked when he said, "That is an example of how it works..."
Vahn knew she was confused so he explained, "The bond works by linking our minds partially...I thought it would be cute if you waggled your ears and figured it wouldn't be too strange. How did you feel...?" Hearing his explanation, Lefiya was a little shaken because his thoughts almost aligned perfectly with her own. She had felt as though she were making a conscious decision and had even rationalized it before she took action. Since Vahn claimed that was exactly what he wanted her to do, Lefiya felt a little lost until Vahn said in an apologetic tone, "I can feel your loyalty slipping...sorry, Lefiya, I didn't mean to make you do something strange."
Hearing Vahn's words, Lefiya raised her hands and waved them back and forth as she said, "No, it's not that, Vahn! I was just a little scared by my own thought process regarding the compulsion. The action itself wasn't bad and I was happy when I thought you were happy!" Since she had decided for herself to follow this path, even after Vahn's warning, Lefiya didn't want him to blame himself, especially when she was the one to ask him to do something. Fortunately, he seemed to believe her so Lefiya released a relieved sigh as she pat her chest. She wasn't aware that Vahn had seen her Loyalty jump back up, though he also highly appreciated her explanation of things.
Though it was a strange realization, Lefiya felt the softness of her chest and suddenly had a thought before asking, "You haven't asked me to do anything else, right...?" Vahn tilted his head in a thoughtful manner before raising up his hand and saying, "I, Vahn Mason, hereby swear upon my Familia, my Crest, and my Goddess, Hestia, that I will never tell a lie to Lefiya Viridis when she asks me any questions I am allowed to answer in accordance with other restrictions and pre-existing vows. If it is a question I cannot answer, I swear that I will also specify the reason." Since Lefiya was willing to go to rather extreme lengths, Vahn felt like he owed it to her to show some conviction of his own.
Seeing Vahn suddenly take a vow, accompanied by a flashing light that broke away and entered his body, Lefiya felt a warmth spread from her heart. Then, when he had finished the vow, Vahn turned to her and answered, "I haven't asked you to do anything else." Hearing his words, Lefiya smiled widely before stutteringly saying, "I...I want you to 't-tell' me to...to...to...to let you t-touch my b-b-body! I don't want to be afraid anymore~!" Vahn's eyes widened at her request before nodding his head and 'ordering' her through their bond to allow him to freely touch her body. Since she seemed to be wanting to 'get used' to it, Vahn also added on that she should tell him what she wanted him to do. It was a bit of a 'risque' order, as Vahn had experienced a bit of a trauma with Anubis, but he believed Lefiya was a sensible girl.
Since she had built up her anticipation, Lefiya was paying attention to her thoughts and actions as she held eye contact with Vahn. After a short while passed, Lefiya felt like things were taking too long so she mustered up her courage and asked, "Can you try touching my breasts?" Lefiya assumed things had already taken effect and Vahn was just thinking about what he wanted to do. She saw him nod before reaching out his hand and poking his index finger on her left breast, just two centimeters away from the cherry bud. Lefiya felt her heart rate increasing but was otherwise fine as she said, "You can move it..." Following her words, Vahn traced his index finger across her chest and Lefiya felt like her heart might explode any moment. However, she realized she didn't really mind his touch that much and it actually made her feel very excited instead...
After a few seconds passed, Vahn pulled his finger away and Lefiya began calming her breathing as she placed her hand over where Vahn had previously touched and said, "It feels like my heart is going to beat out of my chest, but I kind of wanted you to keep going..." Realizing her own words, Lefiya's eyes widened as she turned her gaze to Vahn with a somewhat worried look, not because she was afraid he had done something strange, but because she didn't want him to think she was a 'bad' girl. Seeing his calm expression and gentle smile, Lefiya released a sigh of relief and said, "This is better...I feel like I can get a lot closer to you now. I would like to try things like holding hands, or even sleeping next to you in the future...maybe even washing each other...and then we can-" Once again, Lefiya found herself saying the thought that were passing through her mind and she began to realize what was going on.
Vahn showed an apologetic smile and said, "I thought it would be easier for you if you were able to tell me what you wanted instead of panicking while thinking about what I might do. You have a tendency to let your mind wander, not that I have any complaints, mind you, so this should have made your more aware of what was going on. If you'd like, I can cancel easily-" Lefiya shook her head suddenly and said, "No, this is better! I want to stay like this, but only when we're alone!" Even though she had been thinking it, Lefiya hadn't expected the words to burst out of her lips and she felt both excited and a little scared at the same time. If things continued like this, Lefiya believed it wouldn't be long before she and Vahn were very close with each other. Since she already planned to be with him for the rest of her life, Lefiya wanted to be closer even sooner as it would also affect her growth rate and make Vahn more reliant on her.
Stopped by Lefiya's outburst, Vahn modified her orders to only apply when it was just the three of them before turning to Fenrir and saying, "Fenrir, from now on Lefiya is one of us...you must take care of her and do your best to get along, just like you get along with Fafnir and Anubis..." Without complaint, Fenrir raised up her paw and said, "Fenrir will always protect the people closest to Master. Lefiya is very 'weak' so Fenrir will watch over her when Master isn't around~!" Though she knew it was 'bad', Fenrir felt like clarifying her status to Lefiya and expressing that she considered Vahn her Master with every fiber of her being. If Lefiya was going to be Vahn's subordinate, Fenrir wanted her to make sure she knew Vahn was the 'most important'.
Lefiya nodded her head and said, "I will do my best to get along with Fenrir as well. Though she is a bit scary at times, she is also very cute and I know she is very important to Ma-" Just as the word was about to leave her lips, Lefiya realized what she was about to say and blinked in confusion before seeing Fenrir laughing somewhat mischievously as she said, "Master likes us to call him 'Vahn', but we know in our hearts that he is our Master. Master is the best to Fenrir because Fenrir treats Master as her most important possession. If Lefiya wants to be closest to Master, she has to accept him in her heart. If Lefiya accepts Master fully, Master will treat Lefiya almost as good as Fenrir~."
Not only was Lefiya surprised, but Vahn was outright shaken by Fenrir's words. He knew it was a trait of those that were subordinated to him to call him 'Master', but he hadn't put that much thought into it before. It seemed 'normal' for Anubis to call him Master and it wasn't 'unexpected' for Fafnir and Fenrir, who had both been normal monsters previously, to refer to him as such. Now, however, Vahn realized his title as 'Master' ran a lot deeper than he expected and it might even be related to the Loyalty values of his subordinates. Lefiya was only at 103 and had nearly called him Master by mistake after hearing Fenrir repeat it a few times...
Lefiya's eyes darted about for a moment before she looked to the 'flustered' Vahn and saw his worry and concern. She covered her lips with her hand and laughed before saying, "I want to call you Master when we're alone like this...after all, you are my Master in magic and my Master through the bond we share with each other. I think it might actually be better like this...it already makes me feel a lot closer to...Master." Lefiya had almost said Vahn at the very end but it sounded 'wrong' in her mind. When she changed the address, it made her feel slightly happy and his expression made her feel even happier. He obviously liked being called 'Master', even though he seemed troubled by it, so Lefiya found it interesting.
The fact that Lefiya was suddenly acting a lot more comfortably around him, even to the point where she could smile while still sitting naked, made Vahn realized that the 'influence' of the Unit Management function was stronger than he expected. It was less obvious with girls like Anubis and Fenrir, but it was very obvious with a girl like Lefiya whom Vahn had known for a long time. He decided to change up his order a bit and said, "From now on, I'll change it to where you let me know when things bother you, Lefiya. Please don't just follow all my orders and change your behavior completely just to suit me. I've always thought Lefiya was a cute and sensible girl, so I hope you'll stay that way for a long time to come..." Vahn knew she would treat the words seriously since he had also 'ordered' her at the same time.
In response to his words, Lefiya nodded her head and said, "I'm a little worried that the other girls will think I'm being strange, so I'll only act like this when its the three of us. However...I'd like you to allow me to have fun with Ais too. I never had the chance to express my feelings, but I've adored Ais ever since she saved me...I want to be closer to her and even harbored romantic feelings for her..." Hearing her own words, Lefiya felt her heart racing but she kept saying them until the end. Even if it was 'fake', Lefiya felt a lot more confident because she was able to vocalize the thoughts that often got jumbled up inside of her. When Vahn nodded his head with a smile and said, "Yes, I think most people are aware of that. Please don't change your relationship with Ais, as she is also very fond of you, Lefiya. If you'd like to be closer with her in the future, feel free to tell her about it as I'm sure she will also look after you properly..." she felt like her brain was going to explode from the build-up of happiness and blood pressure...
---
Vahn had never expected their short bath to last for nearly forty minutes and actually felt a bit prune-like when he finally extricated himself from the water. Lefiya had decided to help her 'senior' and helped Fenrir wear her bottoms before tying the pouch around her waist as she held up her arms and allowed it. Seeing they were getting along better, though their interactions had become strangely hierarchal somehow, Vahn smiled before making his way toward the tent. The naked Lefiya, and the clothed Fenrir, followed in behind him as the perpetually blushing Elf began getting dressed in the relative security of the tent.
They had already talked about it previously and both girls were going to watch over him as he increased his own Level. Sis had informed him that it could take up to an hour, as his body was somewhat unique compared to the other residents of this world, so Vahn had decided to use the tent while the two girls ate their lunch and watched over him. When he opened up his status and saw his parameters, Vahn had a smile on his face before mentally pressing the (+) symbol and allowing the energy in his body to begin rapidly circulating around his body. It felt like all of his pores had opened and he found himself slowly entering a meditative state as a cold sensation spread from his mind to meet the warm sensation emerging from his chest...
