Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

After explaining to Maemiru the changes in her parameters, she released a cheerful and moderately seductive laugh as she sad in a teasing voice, "If our parameters are that high, doesn't it mean we'll be 'qualified' to be with you since our strength would have met your standard? We can't wait to hit Level 2...Vahn...sama~." Vahn furrowed his brows slightly at her words because, even though he had set the basic requirement to Level 3, it was an irrefutable truth that they would have the strength of one. If they learned any powerful skills or abilities, they would probably be much stronger than most of the other girls even if they were Level 3...Vahn considered the matter for a moment before saying in a firm tone, "That remains to be seen...it will depend on a variety of factors. You should know that there are restrictions for how high a person's parameters can grow for each Level. I can't say for certain how it will apply to your fused state, but it could be a very dangerous skill with serious consequences if you overuse it. Your magic parameter is far outstripping your other parameters at the moment, so there is a high chance you may not be nearly as strong as you think by the time your level actually increases." Though he was speaking truthfully, Vahn felt like his words were strange since it was almost like he was 'discouraging' them somehow.Maemiru laughed cheerfully before sauntering over to the basin and turning her head to give Vahn a playful wink as she lifted her leg to the edge of the tub and fully 'displayed' herself for his view. Before she climbed in completely, Maemiur said in an amused tone with her strange overlapping voice, "We know you aren't the type to go back on your word, Vahn-sama. Leave it to us, we'll show you how powerful we can become when we are together~." Vahn continued in silence for a while as he watched Maemiru climb into the basin before releasing a comfortable sigh as she lowered her body into the steaming hot water.Vahn was starting to think the fusion of the girls had a strange effect on their mind and he was curious about how exactly they had changed. Individually, the girls were somewhat docile and could even be considered charming and adorable. Combined, however, they became confident, assertive, and were borderline domineering. The way their voice overlapped, the somewhat eerie heterochromatic eyes, and the blatantly seductive nature of their fused form was a bit unnerving, to say the least. Of course, Vahn wasn't actually that worried about the two since he knew his own growth would almost certainly outpace theirs.He also understood that, though they were teasing him quite a bit, they didn't show any real possessiveness or other negative emotions. Though he couldn't see their affection, their aura was a vibrant pink with red undertones and a sunny yellow coloration that showed they were actually just very happy at the present moment. It was likely that they were simply unable to express themselves well with their heightened emotions so they 'acted out' a bit and teased him due to their increased tensions. It was like when Haruhime first transformed and she was unable to regulate her feelings well and even pushed herself to the point of collapse more than once. With time, the twins should be able to achieve some mastery in their Innate ability and properly control themselves in the future.As promised, Vahn unhesitantly bean washing Maemiru's body with a sponge and, even though her reactions were somewhat extreme, he didn't mind them much and continued tending to their body in a moderately professional manner. Moderately because, every now and then, he would tease them a bit just to get even with them for constantly egging him on. The best example of this was when they leaned forward and playfully waggled their butt toward him so Vahn reached out with the sponge and began to scrub their rump and the underside of their tail with a bit of force. They ended up gripping the edge of the basin and releasing a strangely overlapped 'wuuuu' sound as Vahn held up their tail and made sure to clean thoroughly around the base before lathering up the tail itself and combing a thick brush through their fluffy fur.A few minutes into the bath, as Maemi was 'suffering' a bit under his care, they suddenly split back into two with Emiru being the one Vahn was holding onto as she leaned against Maemi's back and purred in a somewhat high pitched whine. Vahn remembered his earlier curiosity so he released her tail and asked in a casual tone, "I'm curious, have you both been cleaned at the same time? Does the soap on one of your bodies duplicate and appear on the other? Ah...I should have tried to get you to wear an accessory and see if it was split in two...well, there is always next time."Hearing Vahn's words, the two girls sunk into the hot water while hugging onto each other with somewhat 'blaming' looks on their faces as they 'glared' at him from the sanctity of the tub. Vahn raised his brow slightly because their personalities changed drastically compared to the bravado of their fused form. He could tell from a glance that a few of his questions could be answered somewhat easily, even though they weren't really speaking to him at the moment. Vahn had thoroughly lathered up their hair and now, though they still had suds all over, it was decidedly less than his earlier results. It looked like the amount had literally halved and Vahn speculated that, if he had actually given them an item for use in their transformed state, it would be broken when they split apart.After the twins rinsed off their bodies, they seemed to have recovered their normal demeanors and 'tilted' Vahn a bit when they climbed out of the tub, stood side-by-side while still naked, and bowed at the same time as they said, "Thank you for taking such good care of us, Master~." They had reverted back to their old form of address so Vahn frowned and said, "I told you not to call me that...it feels awkward and wrong. Even if you don't consider it, I really want to treat the two of you like family and not as servants. I want everyone in the Familia to be one big family..." Hearing his words, the twins looked at each other for a brief moment with smiles on their faces until Emiru said, "When it is just the three of us..." Maemi continued, "We want to call you Master~" Following up, they both said at the same time, "It will make us the happiest~!"Vahn blanked for a moment before furrowing his brows even lower as he asked in a somewhat apathetic voice, "But what about how it makes me feel? I want the two of you to be happy, but it just makes me feel strange when someone calls me Master. I already have the entire Anubis Familia putting me on a pedestal, I don't want my own Familia to do the same..." Perhaps they hadn't expected his response because both girls widened their eyes greatly and looked like they were about to have panic attacks with how much they were fidgetting about. Seeing their reaction, Vahn released an almost inaudible sigh as he mentally remarked, ("Well, it is probably just part of their dream...if I just treat it like a 'play', it shouldn't be a big deal...").Before their panic had fully set in, Vahn stepped toward the still naked girls and began to stroke their heads with his [Hands of Nirvana] helping to calm their minds as he said with a smile, "Now that I think about it, it's not such a bad deal...if though you're older than me, it's still pleasant to have to young girls call me Master. I think I was just overwhelmed for a moment since you're both cute individually, but an actual danger to my mental state when together...hahahahaha!" Though he hadn't intended to laugh at first, Vahn had calmed down a lot while he was speaking and felt happy when he saw the relieved looks on the twins faces as they blushed from his compliment.After they finally developed enough good sense to get dressed, Vahn helped comb through the girl's hair and tails as promised before sending them off to bed in preparation for the next day. Though they had been at 95 previously, their interactions during their transformation and the words shared after the bath had increased the respective affections of the two girls to 99(Amour). They were just shy of hitting the cap and Vahn was tempted to try and push them a bit further since he was interested in what kind of reward he would get from the two simultaneously hitting 100 Affection. Instead, he decided to let things develop 'naturally', even though he knew most of his interactions with girls were anything but.He had changed a lot in the last few months, but many of his major changes in mentality had taken place in just the last two weeks. Though the girls were likely shocked from his rapid growth, Vahn was the most aware of how much he had changed ever since that fateful date with Chloe. Now that he was laying against the wall of the Dungeon, Vahn couldn't help but think about the mischevious Cat Person that he shared deep affections with and had even come to love. She was arguably one of the most important people in his life and was someone he wanted to pull from the darkness in the future. As he lay about and drifted off into the land of dreams, Vahn began to wonder what he could do for the loveable black cat as he affectionately rubbed the mark on his shoulder. In the process, Vahn felt a few extra indentations and his smile turned even softer as the image of the 'ditzy' Arnya appeared in his memory right as he fell asleep...---Rest in the Dungeon was never truly 'peaceful' and, as if smacking him in the face for his earlier complacency, Vahn's rest was brought to an early end after four hours had passed. Several presences had entered into the area of his domain and Vahn could tell they were actually the same group of four that he had seen in the eleventh floor. They were currently making a mad dash toward his, and the sleeping twins', position and Vahn could detect a large number of hostiles chasing after them. This was the obvious sign that the party had the misfortune of encountering a 'Monster Party' and Vahn wondered if they were supposed to have some connection with his fate due to the karma he had received.With a ruminating expression on his face, Vahn turned his eyes to the sleeping twins before making the decision to wake them. He had hoped they might wake up on their own, as their senses were rather sharp, but it seemed like they were a bit complacent since he was watching over them. Vahn leaped to his feet and said in a commanding tone, "Enemies approach, prepare for combat!" Part of their training with Aki had actually been 'wake-up drills', so Emiru and Maemi immediately sat up with a start and began fixing their clothing and armor into place without questioning Vahn's words at all. Seeing their response, Vahn nodded his head and decided not to blame them for being complacent earlier since they still reacted properly when it came time to muster.The 'unknown' party was quickly approaching their position but the twins were able to completely gear up within 37 seconds, a commendable time considering the various straps they had to deal with. As soon as they were dressed, they both pulled out their daggers and got into a ready stance at Vahn's flanks and asked, "Should we go and fight?" Vahn shook his head and explained, "There is a group of four Adventurer's heading toward our location with a large group of monsters, totaling 73, chasing after them. Based on their signatures, it seems like a group of Imps but there is one marginally stronger one amongst them. We'll alter our tactics depending on how the party reacts...if they try to Pass Parade us, I'll take the both of you and use Shundo to flee. If they decide to stand and fight, the two of you will support them and I'll deal with the majority of the mob depending on how things play out."Pass Parading was an inexcusable offense and was something that could get a Familia forcefully disbanded depending on the situation. Sadly, it was surprisingly common since people were prone to panic in stressful situations. The reason why this was sad was that it was nearly never reported since, when performed successfully, there would be no witnesses to bring the matter to light. Though he wouldn't kill them personally, Vahn resolved to leave them to their fates if they tried something so shameless while he was protecting the two girls. He might not care much if it was just him, but if the group tried to perform a 'Pass Parade' when there were 'frail' girls present, Vahn would show them no leniency.Nearly a minute after his orders were passed to the twins, the group of Adventurers ran into the 'safety' of the corridor and immediately looked toward Vahn and the twins as their supposed leader shouted, "Quick, you need to get away, there is a variant species chasing us!" Seeing the honest looking boy wave his arms in warning, Vahn showed an appreciative smile and told the twins, "Stay back and help treat their wounded...I'll make short work of this and return quickly." The moment they nodded their heads, Vahn used [Shundo] and appeared right behind the group and said, "You're safe here, I won't let a single enemy beyond this point..."The 'leader' of the group, a brown-haired man who looked to be around 19-20 years old, looked back at Vahn with a confused expression on his face before turning to the twins when they shouted, "Come over here, we have potions and first aid supplies! Vahn-sama will be perfectly fine on his own!" Vahn's name was not only somewhat 'rare', but he was also very famous within the City right now so, as the group continued forward, the man asked, "Vahn...? As in the Sage Aldrnari, Vahn Mason!?" Hearing her leader's words, the raven-haired woman with the giant crossbow looked back before placing a bolt into the crossbow and kneeling down as if she were preparing to support Vahn from the rear. Vahn had been paying attention to all of their actions since he didn't truly trust them and would move the moment they tried anything shady. Fortunately, the woman released the heavy bolt and it skimmed nearly a meter to his right and impaled one of the charging Imps.Vahn felt 'inspired' by the commendable nature of the group and wanted to show off a bit since they seemed to know of him. He wanted the rumors surrounding him to change for the better, and the best way to do so was to have a few achievements from helping people in need. Since it had been a while, Vahn decided to display a bit of his prowess as he drew [Lævateinn] out of his inventory and brandished it about in a wide arc that caused a veritable tidal wave of flames to move forward and mow down the mob of charging Imps. The only one that seemed resistant to the flames was the strange blue one that was nearly three meters tall. As for the rest, they began to squeal in pain as their bodies quickly burned to ash under the intense flames that couldn't be extinguished no matter how desperately they tried.Though she had been intending to support him, the woman with the crossbow turned into a statue as she saw the 'devastation' wrought by Vahn's single attack. She didn't know much about the Sage Aldrnari, other than the fact he was supposed to be a lascivious, yet highly capable, Adventurer at Level 3. However, seeing him mow down more than fifty monsters with a single swipe of his fiery greatsword was a big impact and she felt like her support was a joke considering how easily Vahn dealt with the situation. When his clothes suddenly changed and he was standing with his incredibly toned and muscular torso exposed, she felt her heart tighten up and screamed out at the top of her lungs when she saw him leap into the 'deadly' flames, "Adrnari, don't be rash~!"The flames of [Lævateinn] were much weaker than his 'eternal flame' and the 'vermillion flames', so Vahn changed into a pair of fire-resistant trousers before unequipping the rest of his gear. He jumped into the flames without any hesitation at all and leaped towards the wailing Blue Imp Chieftan with his sword drawing a wide arc and cut through the body of the once fierce monster as if it hadn't any resistance at all. Its arms had been severed along with its torso and there were orange flakes of flesh and blood from the heat of the blade as it passed through and cauterized the body instantly. Before the body had hit the ground, it inflated for a brief moment before dissipating into purple smoke from the devastating attack.Vahn put away the drop items into his inventory before turning toward the group of Adventurer's that were staring at him with abject shock on their faces as he casually walked through the flames. Because of their unique properties, the flames of [Lævateinn] actually stuck to his body and were trying to devour him but his absolute fire immunity prevented him from even feeling their heat. Vahn just walked out of the flames with the somewhat blood-red colored fire sticking to his body before he pointed the tip of [Lævateinn] at the raging inferno and extinguished the blaze after several seconds. Satisfied by the result, Vahn returned the sword to his inventory before showing a kind smile and saying, "I'm glad you're all okay. If there are any serious injuries, I know healing magic and am a practiced physician. Please tell me if there is anything I can help with, no charge at all."(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Carnivorous woman','Don't mess with the Godhand','[Lævateinn]'s Legend Begins...')If you'd like to support me as a writer so I can write even more stories in the future, please follow the ******* link below (O,...,O)~!

---Maemiru PoV---(A/N: So many people asked how their names would 'combine' when they fuse...I thought it was obvious by the fact that they were named Ma-emi and Emi-ru...(O,...,O)After separating from Vahn, the twins made their way into the tenth floor proper in a similar, yet distinctly different manner than Haruhime had proceeded. As the two were Snow Leopards, they had excellent vision in the low light of the Dungeon and also had powerful noses and enhanced hearing. They skulked forward through the Dungeon as silently as possible but, instead of both focusing on the same direction, the twins actually split their focus and held hands as they progressed through the corridors leading to the various rooms where monsters awaited. Maemi completely focused on leading the way by sight, while Emiru walked forward with her eyes closed and concentrated on her sense of smell and listening for any fluctuations she could detect in the air. Because of their shared senses, the twins were able to make use of this unique method to enhance their detection capabilities while also strengthening their bond at the same time.The tenth floor was considered one of the safer floors since the majority of monsters that appeared were simple Gobline and Kobolds. Between them, they had killed more than three-hundred of such monsters, so they weren't afraid at all of what was to come. They knew Haruhime had been able to progress down to the 17th floor through her own efforts, so Maemi and Emiru had set a similar goal for themselves. As there were two of them, they believed they would be able to achieve much more than a single person and, now that they had flame seeds warming up their chests, they were even more confident. However, it had been stressed to them countless times that overconfidence resulted in mistakes so the twins maintained their focus and proceeded forwards with caution.It wasn't long after they separated from Vahn that the twins encountered their first group of monsters and Emiru immediately snapped open her eyes as they both dashed forward at the same time. The strategy they often incorporated was to 'herd' the monsters together in a similar manner to how they helped to herd the flocks of reindeer back in their village. By forcing the monsters together, it prevented them from easily changing the direction of their attack because they were almost unable to harm each other. Even though the monsters didn't seem to fear death, they still tried to avoid taking damage and were prone to retreating when pressured.Emiru was running forward at a somewhat low angle before jumping to evade a Kobold that tried to launch itself at her legs. She cut down with the vibrant red dagger Vahn had given her and easily sliced through the back of the Kobolds neck. A stream of blood shot out from the severed arteries and covered her legs as she continued her original trajectory and vaulted back to her feet after rolling twice on the ground. Though she frowned from the unpleasant liquid that had gotten on her legs, Emiru didn't stop since the fight was still ongoing. Other than exhaustion, the worst part of fighting monsters was always how 'dirty' they got in the process.Not just Emiru, but Maemi also preferred cleanliness and neither girl was fond of the various bits and pieces of monsters that would get stuck to their bodies and clothing during combat. It was their preference for cleanliness that was part of their motivation to become maids in the first place since they didn't want to live in a dirty household. The absolute worst was when blood got on their long tails since it would soak into their fur and dry up which made it hard to remove later. Fortunately, it was also an opportunity for them to get spoiled by Vahn, so they tolerated it as best as they could.Maemi, on the opposite side of the group of monsters, was also enjoying the functionality of her new dagger while doing her best to avoid the blood spatter that would result from inaccurate strikes. The best way to deal with monsters was to destroy their magic core, as this would instantly dissipate their bodies without any gore whatsoever. The downside to this, however, was that the magic core would be lost in the process. Of course, there was an upside as well, since drop items were much more common when a monster was instantly defeated. Maemi preferred to instantly kill the monsters when she could considering the smell of dried blood was very unpleasant and, without Vahn to clean their bodies, they would have to deal with the odor for several hours at the very least.A Goblin tried to exploit an opening that had been created when Maemi thrust her dagger into the neck of a Kobold, but she didn't even react to it at all as Emiru appeared at the Goblin's flank before stabbing it straight in the temple. Though it drained their stamina much faster than normal people, Emiru and Maemi were able to share their senses and always cover each other's blind spots during combat. They knew that, when they became much stronger, they would be a force to be reckoned with in the future and were committed to developing their cooperation to a level nearly inconceivable by most people.After the 'first blood' of the trial, Emiru and Maemi continued cutting a rather gory path through the Dungeon and slowly made their way towards the stairway leading down. Their bodies were already very exhausted and they knew they needed to take a break before things took a turn for the worse. They had been fighting for more than three hours at this point and had slain a total of 71 Goblins and 42 Kobolds after passing through more than twenty rooms. They hadn't been able to stop and rest for too long since there were time constraints and it was very probable they would need to kill a total of 2,000, or more, monsters to achieve the requirement of the Development Ability.The two safely made it to the connecting corridor before using the canteen Vahn had given them to help each other try to wash off a bit of the blood that had soaked into their clothing and fur. Even though they wanted to rest, it wasn't very pleasant to sit 'peacefully' and recuperate when you were covered in smelly blood and bits of gore that had been flung away from the wounds of the monsters they fought. This was one of the downsides of having enhanced senses, as it was very difficult to ignore foul smells and abrasive sounds. Fortunately, they could help 'groom' each other instead of having to worry about cleaning off their own bodies...---Godhand PoV---Vahn had been trailing behind Emiru and Maemi for the entire duration of their stint through the tenth floor. Their movements lacked the elegance and 'dance-like' quality of Haruhime's, but it was very interesting seeing how well they coordinated with each other. While he was watching them effectively sharing senses, Vahn began to wonder if there were some way to emulate the method to link the senses of two other people. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to discern anything even with his [Eyes of Truth], and it seemed like their connection wasn't something that was transmitted, but something they happened simultaneously regardless of distance. It was very similar to his connection with Hephaestus through the 'eternal flame', and how he shared a bond with the girls that had obtained the 'Love' and 'Loyalty' parameters.After experimenting with it a bit, Vahn knew his intent was communicated perfectly to his subordinates regardless of distance. This meant that, just like the twins, it wasn't something that was transmitted through space, but more like it was instantly entering their minds at the very same time he was thinking the order. Though he had tried to make sense of it, Vahn couldn't wrap his head around how something was able to travel great distances without any interference or time lag. If he could understand the principle behind it, Vahn wanted to create communication devices that would be able to keep everyone connected without having to worry about distance whatsoever.The communication scrolls were very helpful, but the costs were immense and almost unsustainable since the materials weren't that common. After discovering that the Loki Familia Expedition had literally been to procure more ink, Vahn knew he would have to come up with a more practical solution. Of course, if that weren't possible, Vahn would accompany the Loki Familia down to the lower floors and store as much of the Bloodsaurus blood into his inventory as possible. His inventory inarguably made him one of the best 'Supporters' that could possibly accompany an expedition, since he now had a total of 173 unique slots for items and could store the entire corpse into his Inventory if necessary. Each 'slot' could store up to 1,000m3 and could even store multiple of the same item if they were similar enough.After around two hours, Vahn noticed that the fatigue of the girls was starting to affect their ability to deal with monsters easily. If not for the fact they were covering for each other, it was very likely they would have suffered several injuries from some of the mistakes they were making. In fact, because they were covering for each other in moments of duress, it increased the stamina consumption of both of them from the strenuous movements made to assist each other. This was one of the major downsides Vahn had discovered about [Gemini] since it was very taxing on the girls both physically and mentally. Since their bodies responded to each other's movements, it meant their muscles got tired faster and, as their senses were also shared, it meant the amount of information their brain had to process increased exponentially.Vahn watched as they persisted on for nearly an entire hour after they were exhausted and he found their efforts commendable. When he saw them enter into the corridor connecting to the stairs, Vahn considered if he should help them recover faster. Unfortunately, though he could heal their bodies and help recover their mana and stamina, there wasn't much he could do for their mental strain other than calm their minds a bit. He ultimately decided to wait and see how long it took for them to naturally recover their energy so he could use it as a baseline for the future. Helping them too much, in the beginning, would change their perception of the trial and make them more reliant on him to take care of their needs when things got tough. They needed to have a certain degree of self-reliance if they wanted to be able to break through the barrier that prevented them from growing rapidly.After resolving to let them progress at their own pace, Vahn turned his attention away from the wall and deactivated his [Eyes of Truth] since they had started to take turns cleaning each other's body. Vahn sat with his back to the wall and expanded his domain through the ninth, tenth, and eleventh floor to make sure there were no dangers approaching. The last he wanted was for a group of Adventurer's to make their way up, or down, the stairs to find the two in the middle of cleaning their bodies. Even though the twins weren't presently 'his', Vahn still considered them wards in his charge. Until they were self-sufficient, Vahn would protect them from harm and ensure they, at the very least, had the opportunity to reach their full potential.Surprisingly, Vahn did actually detect another party on the floor below them but it was fortunate that they didn't seem to be making their way up for the time being. They were currently just wandering around through the corridors, likely looking for rooms so they could hunt some monsters. Their party consisted of four people and Vahn decided to check in on them to identify if they might be a threat. Using his [Eyes of Truth], Vahn peered down through the floor of the Dungeon and pierced through several layers of obstruction before his vision arrived at the misty eleventh floor below.Vahn saw the group sneaking around while using the rocks and tree as cover as they hunted for monsters within the mist. It was a group of two males and two females, and they all looked to be around 18-20 years old. Based on how they cooperated with each other, Vahn figured they were likely third-class Adventurer's around Level 2. Their composition had the men acting as vanguards, both using spears, while one of the girls carried a rather large crossbow. The final member of their party was a rather petite looking girl with somewhat tanned skin and she looked to be the supporter of the group with the relatively large backpack on her back.Since they all looked like kind people and had neutral auras, Vahn decided they weren't a threat and stopped his observation for the time being. Unless they made their way through a series of rooms, there was little chance they would follow the same staircase that connected to where Maemi and Emiru were located. There were actually a number of staircases leading down, so it was somewhat uncommon for Adventurer's to meet each other unless they followed common routes. This is why Vahn had the confidence to sleep within the safety of the corridors and had never once been disturbed. The fact that he had met Lili when he was ascending in the past showed how whimsical fate could be, though Vahn didn't resent this fact much since he was happy to have saved her. Imagining that she would have spent another two years in those conditions made Vahn very uncomfortable, especially considering what he knew of her past.Emiru and Maemi ended up resting for nearly two hours before deciding to proceed, not towards the eleventh floor, but back into the tenth. Vahn nodded his head before rising to his feet and disappearing from view before they exited the room. They made the correct decision to focus their efforts on the tenth floor for the time being since they would face more than a little danger on the eleventh floor with their current strength. Orcs weren't easy enemies to deal with using weapons like daggers, and their stamina would deplete quickly while trying to deal with the ambushes from Imps. Taking it slow on the first day and testing their limits was actually a correct decision and Vahn intended to commend them for it later.This was something he had noticed was distinctly different between the twins and Haruhime since the very first time he accompanied them in the Dungeon. They were always safe, rational, and typically thought about the situation in detail before making their decisions. Haruhime, however, was far more 'heroic' in her approach and typically pushed forward without giving into her own inhibitions. This meant her growth was always stretching her limits, but it also put her life in constant danger if she wasn't properly monitored.The twins might not grow as rapidly, but their behavior would preserve their lives and likely allow them to steadily grow stronger in the future since, when they were actually put under pressure, they would experience large increases in their parameters if they could overcome the situation. Of course, if they were never put in those types of situations, they would continue to move forward at a relatively slow pace and most likely get left behind by the more 'talented' girls like Haruhime, Fenrir, and the hardworking Mikoto.(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Do you see what I see~?

Chapter 377: Bond
