章節 299: Battery
After lunch, Vahn was a bit distracted thinking about his future plans and thinking of ways to increase the acquisition of Origin Points so he would be able to prepare for when something inevitably goes wrong. He had been a spendthrift as of late, but Vahn didn't regret his purchases as the larger ones had always been with a specific idea in mind. He knew he would be able to accumulate a few thousand OP if he got back into forging, but Vahn only wanted to create equipment for use by those close to him, instead of just forging for OP. Though he didn't mind forging, Vahn wasn't fond of staying in one place for too long. It may have something to do with the fact he had spent the majority of his time locked up in his previous life, but Vahn was happier when he was out and about and doing various things.
Now that he wasn't so pressed to 'protect' Haruhime, Vahn was considering other methods to procure origin points other than simply mass producing items. He had noticed it during his fights with Tione and Tammuz, and to a lesser extent when he first entered the dungeon, but Vahn was something of a battle junkie. He couldn't move around much in the past, but not he could freely vault off walls and fly through the air fast enough to shatter the wind around him. It was an exhilarating feeling and Vahn couldn't help but feel an itch when thinking about his future battles. Though he wasn't fond of the whims of Karma, the one thing Vahn looked forward to was the fights that would result in his accumulation of positive karma. The greater the value, the more likely stronger enemies would seek him out and they would clash with the intent of forcing their values and ideals on each other. Because of this, Vahn needed to rapidly increase the strength of those around him since he understood his greatest weakness was the number of people close to him.
Vahn had already decided to help train Fenrir according to the method he had drawn out with Ryuu and Aki. Since she had incredible potential and willingly threw herself into danger, she was capable of rapid growth if Vahn took her into the deeper floors. Behind her was, perhaps the most important person he needed to help train, Haruhime, and her incredibly powerful Level-up magic and dual Innate skills. Her magic, [Uchide no Kozuchi] was only B-Rank, which meant that it was capable of growing further and potentially increasing parameters higher than 30%. Her [Kokonoe] was only D-Rank, and that meant it had an incredible potential for growth. Vahn had learned about the [Mage] Development Skills and the acquisition requirements for the [Hunter] skill and wanted to pitch the idea to Haruhime. Though he expected she would happily agree, Vahn wanted her consent since he knew it would be very difficult on her. Acquiring the [Hunter] skill required a person to slay a total of 1,000 monsters within a 72 hour period and could only be acquired when transitioning from Level 1 to Level 2. It was one of the most highly sought after skills alongside rare skills and causality manipulating skills like [Luck].
Knowing that their ventures into the dungeon would probably start soon, Vahn began to sketch out ideas for some equipment that would be used by Haruhime. She had adopted the style of wearing a 'very' short kimono, similar to how Mikoto wore her's, and Vahn was wondering what kind of equipment he could give her that wouldn't restrict her movement. At the very top of his list, Vahn decided that she would need to wear shorts since he didn't want her to rush around flashing her panties to their allies. Though he thought it was an interesting sight to see when watching them train, Vahn wasn't fond of the idea of other people gawking at the contents within. He would get her to wear short-shorts like Ryuu, or perhaps a pair of spats like Aki...
After around an hour, Vahn had drawn up a relatively accurate sketch of Haruhime from memory and had begun to design a combat outfit that he thought was suitable for her. It was still a rough concept, but he had her wearing a red kimono with a black obi and a black, ceremonial, mantle. Since her movements were similar to a dance, Vahn had designed the outfit after the 'Shrine Priestess' attire from the Far East. Haruhime had the Innate skill [Moon Priestess], so he had some expectation that it might influence her mentality to awaken the skill in the future. For her weapon, Vahn had decided to make her a wooden sword, similar to the one used by Ryuu, except it would have a more ceremonial look to compliment her attire.
Though she was still going to focus on the development of her agility, Haruhime's core parameter was her magic and Vahn had hope that she would develop a few offensive spells alongside her support repertoire. To wrap up her ensemble, Vahn designed a pair of anklets and bracelets that Haruhime would be able to wear since she didn't seem fond of wearing stockings. He would also create a necklace for her and Vahn wanted them all to be set pieces that boosted her magic and provided defense and resistance against the elements. Though he didn't mind seeing her long legs, Vahn knew how cold it got in the later floors and was somewhat concerned about her catching a cold.
After he was satisfied with the design, Vahn remembered his previous interaction with Ais and Lefiya, so he spent a few minutes thinking before designing a pair of undergarments that might suit Haruhime as well. She had the bad habit of wearing neither a bra or panties without Mikoto reminding her, and Vahn hoped she would be able to curb the habit if he made something specifically for her. Though it felt like he was taking advantage of her feelings for him, Vahn was genuinely concerned with how airheaded she could be at times. If not for sharing a room with Mikoto, Vahn wasn't sure Haruhime would ever remember to wear undergarments at all. He knew it was likely a habit she had picked up during her 'training' in the Isthar Familia, and Vahn hoped she would be able to put it behind her in the future.
Since there were still a few hours until he needed to wrap things up, Vahn decided to get a head start on creating the accessories for Haruhime. It would probably take several days to design the rest of the equipment, but a few bands of metal shouldn't be too difficult. He could also make a matching pair for Mikoto since they shared a strong bond with each other and Vahn wanted to help provide something to unify them further. He also wanted to experiment with creating 'batteries' that would be able to store excess mana when they weren't in combat so they could make use of it in a pinch. It was a very similar concept to how Welf used his [Crozzo Blood], but Vahn figured it would be far more effective if he used his 'source energy'.
As they were accessories for a girl, Vahn decided to use a combination of mithril twined with orichalcum and adamantine. This would give them a golden sheen intermixed with the beautiful white coloration of adamantine that would also greatly enhance the durability of the item. The problem was finding something to contain the mana, since most materials and gems acted as catalysts and not containers. They could enhance the efficacy of magic, but they didn't allow for magic to be stored within for later use. Inspired by [Crozzo Blood] even further, Vahn tried boring out a small channel within the interior of the mithril core of the bracelet. He purchased an incredibly durable syringe and drew a bit of his own blood with a somewhat conflicted feeling before shaking away the unpleasant thoughts.
The channel within the bracelet was thin enough that it only required a single drop of his blood, but Vahn wanted to see how long he could store his blood within a container like a syringe so he filled the entire thing as part of an experiment. In his previous life, his blood couldn't be stored for more than 24 hours before it would turn to dust. Vahn hadn't conducted any experiments of his own, even though he knew his blood would probably be a powerful catalyst for alchemy in the future.
One of the reasons Vahn had decided to try using his own blood as a catalyst was due to the fact that, while he may have a physical form, his body was actually comprised entirely of 'source energy'. This wasn't an uncommon thing though, since everyone, and everything for that matter, was comprised of mana and elemental energies. Every particle of matter around him was the culmination of several smaller bonds that he wasn't able to see even using his [Eyes of Truth], but Vahn was able to conceptualize them after studying up on the matter alongside Eva in the past. She really had been a great mentor for him and he made an incredible amount of progress in his own studies under her tutelage.
Vahn frowned as his own thoughts wandered a bit and he looked within his system to see that the time had just hit 5 PM. Even though it had been a while since he entered the orb, both his mind a body was still adapted to the expectation that he should be entering inside of it. Though he could tell it was in an inert state within his inventory, Vahn still pulled out the pitch black orb and watched it for a few minutes before releasing a sad sigh and stowing it away. Shaking his head, Vahn sealed off the small hole where he had inserted the syringe and made sure there was a hair-like red line circling the entire bracelet within its core. Even though it was an incredibly small amount of blood, Vahn could see the energy contained within and began his experiment with a bit of excitement and the desire that it would be a success.
For a brief moment, Vahn humored the idea of trying to imbue the ability to increase exilia acquisition into the bracelet, but he decided against it since it might conflict with his intended outcome. After calming his mind for a few minutes, Vahn held the ornate bracelet within his hands and focused his thoughts with the intent of making the bracelet a container for mana that would work in conjunction with other, similar, items while also protecting the wearer. Though the rest of the items weren't complete yet, Vahn pictured the image of Haruhime within his mind wearing nothing but the anklets, bracelets, and a golden band around her neck before naming the bracelet [Fox Maiden's Bracelet].
[Fox Maiden's Bracelet]
Rank:B
P.Def: 17
M.Def: 404
Abilities: Durandal(C), Magical Amplification(C), Magic Vessel(B), Fox Maiden's Set(B)
An ornate bracelet designed to provide passive protection by creating a small field around the appendages to resist physical and magical attacks. Though weak individually, the abilities of this item are enhanced when used alongside similar items.
Restriction: Renard Only (Female)
Vahn was very pleased with the result, except for the fact that he had forgotten to include resistance against the elements in his mental image. Though it wasn't his initial intent, he had inadvertently imagined Haruhime wearing nothing by his accessories and had gotten distracted by his own thoughts. Much less protecting her from the elements, Vahn had 'exposed' her within his mind and felt a little embarrassed even though there was nobody around to judge him. To test the efficacy of the 'Magic Vessel' ability, Vahn tried to insert a small amount of his energy but the bracelet flew out of his hand with a rebound. His mind blanked for a moment before he picked up the item into his inventory and re-read the description again. Since it had the restriction of only being used by female Renards, Vahn couldn't actually test the item himself.
Pulling the bracelet out of his inventory, Vahn inspected the interior to see if there had been any changes to the string of blood he had left within. To his surprise, he discovered that the blood had crystalized and noticed it had a strange pattern along the length that he couldn't understand. The more he tried to focus on it, the less focused his mind became and Vahn realized that more than twenty minutes had passed as he stared off aimlessly into space. When he tried to ask Sis what was happening, he could hear the sound of her voice within his mind but the words were completely blocked from his perception. After explaining the incongruity, Sis informed him that he simply didn't have a high enough Soul Tier to understand...

章節 300: Undercurrents
After completing the [Fox Maiden's Bracelet], there wasn't much time left within his 'work' block on the schedule so Vahn decided to call it a day. Since the matter with the Ishtar Familia was 'resolved', Vahn wanted to take everyone out to celebrate at the Hostess of Fertility. It was a good chance for Haruhime to get out of the Manor since the only places she had known since arriving in the City were a brothel and the premises of a Manor. Vahn also wanted to meet with the girls that he hadn't seen in a while since he felt a little guilty for not making the trip. If he went at his maximum speed, it would only take a few minutes to reach the Hostess of Fertility, but even that small window would be enough for terrible things to happen if his enemies were competent.
Since he completed his work early, the twins hadn't started working on dinner yet and Vahn was able to inform them of his decision before they started unnecessary work. After Aki's arrival, Emiru and Maemi had started taking their 'jobs' as maids very seriously and had been proactively cleaning around the Manor during the afternoons. Vahn wanted to say it was unnecessary, but he actually preferred a clean and orderly residence as well and there weren't any other people that were willing to take to the task. Since the Manor was the Familia's residence, it would normally be the job of the logistics staff and supporters, but the Hestia Familia technically only had one official supporter, which was Preasia.
After hearing Vahn's words, the twins bowed simultaneously and said in concert, "Thank you for informing us Vahn-sama~!" Vahn gave the two a wry smile as his hand twitched a bit before he nodded his head to seek out the rest of the girls. Ever since he had read their Status Boards, the twins hadn't been 'proactive' in approaching him, but they still tried to play to his weaknesses and would always bow toward him with their twitching ears. Because of their actions, Vahn's awareness about his 'petting' habits was being developed quite a bit since he was very tempted to give in to his urges.
Separating from the twins, who he sent to Fenrir and Preasia's location, Vahn went upstairs and knocked on the door barring the shared room of Haruhime and Mikoto. After a few seconds, the one to answer the door had been Mikoto though it was Haruhime that asked Vahn to come inside. Since he hadn't entered the room after placing the furniture, Vahn was unaware of how much had changed since then. Because they were both from the Far East, the girls had slowly been changing the layout of the room to match their preferences and Vahn thought there was a very calming atmosphere within. Haruhime had been sitting on a cushion that was placed on the floor, but she rose from her seated position and crossed her hands over her lap before bowing politely to welcome him.
Out of habit, Vahn also returned a bow which prompted Mikoto to bow even lower and the entire atmosphere became a little awkward until Haruhime started to laugh like an exquisite bell. Her laughter caused the atmosphere to clear up instantly as Vahn laughed alongside her and even Mikoto had a small smile on her face. Afterward, they tried to offer him a cushion to sit on but Vahn raised his hand and said, "That isn't necessary, I just came to inform the both of you that we'll be eating dinner at the Hostess of Fertility tonight. Since she hasn't had the opportunity yet, I'd like for Haruhime to experience more of the City than just the Manor."
Mikoto nodded her head in a curt response, but Haruhime's eyes began to glow a bit as she held the tips of her fingers together with a wide smile on her face. She seemed very happy with his words, and Vahn momentarily had inhibitions about the next part of his statement before sucking it up and holding out the bracelet and saying, "This is a prototype accessory that I'm working on to help the two of your with your mana reserves. It should be capable of holding a certain amount of mana that you'll be able to use later when casting spells. I plan to make matching pairs for both of you, but this one is called [Fox Maiden's Bracelet] and can only be used by Renards."
Though they had both been staring at the bracelet with curious expressions, the moment Vahn said the bracelets name and restriction, Haruhime's hand moved forward with the speed of a Level 8 and snatched the bracelet from Vahn's palm fast enough to leave a shadow within the void. Vahn's eyes opened slightly wider and he saw Haruhime gingerly holding the bracelet with both hands as she did a cheerful pirouette with a cheerful smile on her face. She turned to Vahn and opened her green eyes that were sparkling like gemstones and said, "Thank you so much Vahn, it's lovely~!"
Vahn awkwardly retracted his hand before a small smile appeared on his face and he said, "You're welcome, Haruhime. I'll be making another bracelet, as well as a pair of anklets and a necklace to complete the set later. As I said, that is just a prototype so let me know if there are any problems whatsoever." He had been intending to explain how he had made the bracelet but realized it might be 'dangerous' in various ways if he told Haruhime that his own blood was contained within. She was already treating it like a great treasure, even though it was only a B-Rank item. Vahn had a strange thought that he would one day visit her room and find the accessories he made for her enshrined near her bed or something strange like that if she knew of their construction method.
Since there was still time before they would leave, Vahn also showed Haruhime the designs for the outfit he was working on and he could feel the aura radiating from her body like a flame even without looking in her direction. Though he hadn't pointed it out himself at the beginning, the very first thing that caught both Haruhime's and Mikoto's attention had been the designs on the side of the diagram that showed a custom bra and panty that Vahn had actually intended to be used as supplementary armor pieces. The moment she saw the sketch, Haruhime got very fired up about it and wanted to 'assist' in the production of the outfit if she could. Since her skills in sewing were actually higher than his, Vahn was very tempted to agree but knew there would be more to her request than simply sewing away at the side.
After escaping the room, Vahn made his way over to inform Hestia and Aki about the celebration and to see if any new information had come in through the network. Though he had talked to her briefly during lunch, Hestia had been spending the majority of the day within her own room corresponding with the Alliance. She had told him some information about the Guild's investigation of the event and expressed her relief at how both he and Aki had handled the situation with the Amazons earlier. Since it had been proposed by Loki, and spearheaded by Aki, Hestia's opinion of Aki's presence within the Familia had improved marginally and they were now both within her room discussing matters.
Though he wasn't restricted from entering Hestia's room whenever he wanted, Vahn still knocked and waited for someone to open the door since the fiasco with Preasia was still on his mind from earlier. Aki was the one to answer and she showed her characteristic kind smile before inviting Vahn into the room and explaining all the new information they had received. It turns out that the Freya Familia had made no attempt to cover up their actions at all and made a public statement that Ishtar had actually been trying to poach their members. Freya herself claimed that Ishtar tried to charm Ottar and that was the reason for her decision to force her back to Heaven. Since her claims were actually true, the Guild wasn't able to find any fault in her words but still imposed a heavy penalty on the Freya Familia and were requiring them to spend an exorbitant amount of Valis to restore the areas that had been destroyed in the fire. Without batting an eye, Freya accepted the terms but stated that none of their reparations would go to the establishment of brothels and dens that could be used by criminals and there was nothing the Guild could do to force her hand on the matter.
The biggest issue that arose in the aftermath, which is what was currently being discussed, was how the Alliance had somehow been implicated by Freya's actions. Though nobody knows who pointed fingers first, public opinion was speaking of Freya as a co-conspirator of the Alliance that had recently been a hot topic within the City. Since Freya had 'tolerated' Ishtar's actions for so long, people were saying that she had taken action on behalf of the Hestia Familia which was already in the limelight because the Loki Familia had recently challenged the Isthar Familia to a Wargames because they had been targeting the Hestia Familia. Rumors had spread about the 'duel' with Tammuz as well and people were claiming it to be the catalyst that forced the 'Alliance' to take drastic action and eliminate the Ishtar Familia. Since they wanted to avoid trouble with the guild, it was claimed that the Alliance reached out to Freya for assistance and had 'convinced' her to take action on her behalf since she already had personal grievances with Ishtar.
Hestia has an especially serious expression on her face as she stared at Vahn and said, "Vahn, you mustn't become involved in this matter personally. If anyone tries to bring up the topic of approaching Freya, or the Freya Familia, you need to avoid giving in. Even if you feel inclined to thank Freya for her actions, you should resist the urge since you can be absolutely sure she had done so for personal reasons. No matter what happens, you need to avoid that woman until we can deal with her!" As he had no intentions of approaching Freya for the time being, Vahn easily agreed to Hestia's words before telling her about the planned celebration.
Since she was busy with the network and the matters regarding the Freya Familia, Hestia was going to remain and home and Aki would stay back to protect her. The security outside the Manor was already in a high alert status and there was little chance either of them would be exposed to danger so Vahn reluctantly agreed to let them stay. He did have them move into his secret workshop though since it had several formations that allowed it to avoid detection and could only be opened with a special key. Before parting ways with them, Vahn gave in and held Hestia for a few minutes in a relatively passionate embrace before giving Aki a few head pats and heading downstairs.
The other girls were all waiting for his arrival and Vahn called over Fafnir to help in the escort since he didn't have absolute confidence in protecting the entire group if they were ambushed. Though he didn't use it often, Fafnir was already known as Vahn's 'tamed monster' and had even been registered with the Guild in the past. They had given him a lot of restrictions on its actions, but there wasn't any way they could regulate it completely since Vahn kept most of Fafnir's abilities a secret. The biggest restriction was being unable to ride Fafnir within the City unless it was during a state of emergency where lives were at risk.
After Fafnir peaked up through the shadows, Vahn stroked it's head and helped replenish its energy before it 'purred' an evil sounding growl and returned to the shadows after thanking Vahn in a childish voice. Since things were beginning to calm down, Vahn intended to take Fafnir back into the orb in the future so it would be able to 'grow up' even more alongside Eva. Though he didn't mind the 'childish' sounding telekinesis, Vahn still imagined Fafnir to be 'cooler' within his mind. He was looking forward to the adult stage Fafnir and was curious how far its natural growth would take it.
Vahn led the party of seven, including himself, along the route leading to the Hostess of Fertility while everyone was in high spirits. He also showed a 'charismatic' smile as he scanned his surroundings with his domain for any signs of trouble. Because he was escorting six beautiful girls, Vahn got a lot of strange looks from both men and women within the surroundings. Not only the men, but several of the women had touches of green within their auras intermixed with various types of colors, both cold and warm. Fortunately, there weren't many people dumb enough to try and approach the group to make trouble since Vahn was currently in his human form and was easily recognizable as the 'former' Vulcan. Few people wanted to mess with the guy that was related to the expulsion of two Goddesses and the disbandment of two Familia because the current understanding was that he had the backing of all three of the top-ranked Familia within the City.
Of course, weren't many didn't mean there were 'none', as there were still a few 'arrogant' men that thought they had a chance and tried to make a pass at one of the girls he was escorting. Since they didn't have auras of negativity, Vahn had no reason to prevent their attempts though he did watch to see if the girls had a reaction. The only time he immediately put a stop to their actions was if they tried to make a pass at Fenrir or Preasia, since either case would likely cause Fenrir to lose her cool. Eventually, after turning away the fourth man, Vahn decided to just keep away everyone since the twins and Mikoto had absolutely no interest in the attempts of the random passersby. Vahn realized, by the time they were approaching the Hostess of Fertility, that he probably should have done so from the very beginning. He just didn't want to seem 'overly protective' of the girls at first, but now he realized they 'expected' his protection after noticing their slightly melancholic expressions when he defended Preasia and Fenrir but not themselves.
Vahn shook his head before stopping outside of the Hostess of Fertility with a reminiscent smile on his face before taking a deep breath of the aroma leaking through the double-doors. Since it was rather cold outside, even though he had been keeping the cold at bay for the girls, the interior of the Hostess of Fertility looked very warm an inviting. Vahn led the way through the doors and caused a minor fiasco when the other patrons noticed the 'Vulcan' leading in a group of beautiful young women. Mama Mia immediately brought the entire place to silence with her loud voice before motioning towards Vahn's private room with her head.
Since they had a large group and were intending to celebrate, the waitresses that were attending them ended up being Syr and Chloe. Vahn was happy to see Chloe again and embraced her in a casual manner even without asking for her consent. She began to laugh in a playful manner before stroking his back and saying, "Did you miss me, nya~?" Though it was on a brief contact, Vahn stroked Chloe's tail before saying, "Definitely...did you not miss me?" Chloe's tail was still flickering about as she looked around to see if anyone was paying attention. She noticed that everyone's gaze was present on them so she laughed awkwardly before muttering, "Of course I missed you~. Even though I can tie the ribbon myself, it's not as meaningful unless you do it for me~nya." Vahn smiled widely and unashamedly fixed the ribbon on Chloe's tail even though everyone was giving them 'strange' looks. She had a flushed expression and a little 'blame' in her eyes before Vahn gave her a short kiss on the lips and said, "I missed you, Chloe..."
Though she gnashed her teeth a bit from embarrassment, Chloe returned a kiss of her own before pushing Vahn away a bit and turning to the table where the other girls were eyeballing her with various expressions. Vahn was aware he had been very 'forward', but he really had missed Chloe and wanted to show that he wasn't embarrassed at all to be seen with her. From his side, Vahn could hear an elegant laughter and he turned his head to see Syr laughing with her hand covering her mouth. When she saw he was paying attention, her eyes squinted a bit and she remarked, "How envious...I guess you didn't miss me~?" Before he could answer, Syr stuck out her tongue playfully before 'ignoring' him and going to take the orders of the girls.
Vahn watched her back for a moment before releasing a short sigh and ruminating over the events of the past as he walked over. He knew about Syr's feelings for him, including her heart's desire, but Vahn had asked for time when she confessed. He gave the excuse that he wanted things to stabilize a bit before giving her an answer, even though he had been steadily pushing his relationships forward with other girls. Since he knew she acted in his interests behind the scenes, Vahn felt like he was exploiting Syr a bit even though he knew it was probably the reverse. Of course, Syr's 'exploitation' seemed to manifest in her influence over the other girls within the Hostess of Fertility and she was steadying pushing them closer to him...
During the celebration, everyone was in high spirits after the awkwardness from the beginning had cleared up. Since the majority of people present were considered adults, there was a bit of alcohol involved and even Fenrir partook a bit. She was initially 'refused' the right to drink, but Vahn eventually gave in when her eyes had started to glow rather fiercely. It turned out his apprehensions in letting her drink were pointless, to begin with since she was actually able to ingest a seemingly limitless amount of ale and wine without getting even remotely drunk. By the end of the celebration, the only two people unaffected by the alcohol were Vahn and Fenrir, who had been having a blast drinking the other girls under the table.
Since it wasn't 'safe' to escort a bunch of drunk girls back to the Manor, Syr had arranged for some space within the girls' dorm to house everyone, except Vahn, for the night. Vahn had to pay an exorbitant fee to Mama Mia, but he didn't mind at all as money was one of the things he was least concerned about. After everyone had retired for the night, Vahn was left alone with Syr somehow and he furrowed his brows slightly because he knew she had machinated the events in her own way to lead up to this point. She was also the one that had first brought alcohol to the table even though they hadn't initially ordered any and Vahn knew it was her 'nature' acting up especially considering that neither Ryuu or Chloe had come to see him off.
Syr always paid close attention to his expressions and mannerisms, so she immediately understood she had been seen through but just displayed her characteristic cheerful smile and said, "Looks like you caught on to me~." She didn't say that she was 'glad' that Vahn was always able to see through her schemes even though the vast majority of people overlooked the small actions she took. Hearing her words, Vahn had nodded his head before showing a grateful smile and saying, "Syr, thanks for everything you've been doing for me lately. I've gotten to experience a lot of interesting things because of the actions you've taken on my behalf." His words had genuine gratitude since Vahn had actually gotten the opportunity to massage all of the girls within the Hostess of Fertility, though that included Mama Mia as well. Syr was also the one that 'arranged' the dates in the past and had been on nearly half of them herself even though they weren't an actual couple.
Hearing Vahn's words, Syr crossed her hands over her apron and stood tall with a truly cheerful expression as a slight glow passed through her eyes. Vahn was easily able to resist the effects of her charm and his smile grew slightly larger as well when he saw how 'happy' she was at that fact. Stepping forward until she was right in front of him, Syr looked up into Vahn's eyes and said, "I wonder when your heart will be-" Before Syr could finish her words, Vahn gingerly wrapped his hands around her waist before holding her body in a loose embrace and saying, "You've had a place for a long time, probably longer than I even realized because of your actions. Well, not that that matters, I already decided not to hesitate when it came to making decisions about the things I want..."
Even though Vahn knew things were probably going according to Syr's plan, he still felt a lot of affection for the beautiful young woman with light-grey hair and matching eyes. Since she probably wouldn't give up for several years, Vahn felt guilty at the thought of watching her help other people find happiness while the only thing she 'needed' to be happy was his affections for her. Without wasting any more time on words, Vahn stared into the glittering eyes of Syr as they both brought their faces closer under the moonlight and shared their first kiss...
