Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Though he would never admit it to the person in question, Eva's small stature and delicate features made the process of Nirvana Rebirth a lot easier than it otherwise would have been. The entire procedure only took around seven hours, and, though this was largely due to his familiarity with Eva's body, even Vahn was surprised with how smoothly everything went.Having sealed away all of the malignant energy in her body, Vahn admired Eva's beauty for a few moments before ultimately flipping her over onto her stomach. Her figure was still a little underdeveloped, but, after sharing so many intimate moments with her in the past, combined with his longing to reunite with her, Vahn had grown rather attached to Eva's appearance. This didn't stop him from doing what was necessary, however, so, after tracing his palms along her impeccably smooth skin, sending a fresh wave of Source Energy into her body, Vahn pressed his index and forefingers near the base of her neck and spine before bringing them together rather 'mercilessly'.Like a daisy chain of explosions being triggered all at once, energy flowed through all of Eva's nerves, erupting like fireworks during a celebration. Her eyes snapped open so wide that, for a brief moment, it looked like the might jump out of their sockets. At the same time, a difficult to describe expression marred her previously perfect face, a mix of abject horror, shock, and, most notably, incomprehensible pleasure. For several seconds, no sounds were produced by her throat, but, after a while, a pained and guttural moan escaped her lips as her body curled up into a ball. She had arched her back during the preliminary surge, but, after coming back to awareness, Eva put a lot of effort into restraining her moans entirely as she tightly squeezed her legs and allowed a tremble, unlike anything she had ever experienced, surge through her body.Nirvana Rebirth always made people extremely sensitive, so, after spending seven hundred years in a state where her body rapidly regenerated and filtered out most stimulus, Eva was woefully unprepared for the sudden surge of pleasure. Her regeneration provided no bastion for her this time around, and, if not for her incredible tolerance and strong will, she wouldn't have been able to avoid crying out.Fortunately, Vahn wasn't just there to watch, so, while Eva was curled up into a ball, his hands danced across her body, calming energy flowing into her through his palms. This was also to make sure there were no sequelae that been left behind by the Convergence of Heaven and Earth, something he constantly worried about despite having never made a mistake.Ignoring her teary-eyed glare, Vahn continued to gently stroke Eva's body as he explained, "The procedure went without a hitch. It might be difficult right now, but this is proof that your natural biological processes have reverted to normal. Your body is sensitive due to all of your nerves and cells being restructured. Once your brain gets used to interpreting the unfamiliar stimuli, you'll be able to move around and live like a normal person..."Even without hearing Vahn's explanation, Eva was 'very' aware of the changes that her body had undergone. Though it wasn't gone, she felt as though her vampiric attributes had been completely suppressed, her regeneration included. This filled her with extreme relief, but, as a result of the tempestuous pleasure wreaking havoc in her body, it was hard to express other emotions. She felt a sensation similar to a limb falling asleep, but, instead of an arm or a foot, it was her entire body. The most 'frustrating' sensation came from her lower body, as, despite her bladder being empty for centuries, Eva felt like she was constantly peeing herself due to the volume of fluids escaping her body...---Nearly half an hour later, Eva was still curled up on the massage table, but, unlike the first few minutes, she appeared completely calm as she stared toward nothing in particular. She didn't seem to mind that he was still caressing her body, so, in the hopes of hastening her recovery, even just a little, Vahn was using Petting Laws to help her relax and remain calm. He knew she was thinking about a lot of things right now, as, after seven hundred years of painful longing, she was suddenly just a 'normal' girl once again...Without saying anything, Eva surprised Vahn slightly by suddenly tracing one of her ruby-red nails along her own palm. The razor-sharp point easily cut into her flesh, causing a 'refreshing' amount of pain as she watched her own blood begin to flow from the wound without closing up. It wasn't until Vahn grabbed her hand and traced his finger along the thin line she had cut that it began to heal, closing completely after a few seconds...Seeing the blood that remained on her palm, even after the injury healed, Eva's mind finally began to rectify that she wasn't imagining things. As a result, a few crystalline tears began to pool at the corners of her eyes, but, before she could begin crying, Vahn surprised her quite a bit by lapping at the traces of blood on her hand. This caused her still aching body to rapidly heat up, but, instead of stopping him, Eva just watched in silence as he completely cleaned away the blood on her hand...Though he could have wiped away the blood with a towel, Vahn felt it would leave a deeper impression on Eva's mind if he used a more intimate method to clean her injury. It wasn't too difficult to imagine her doing the same if he had an open wound, so, following her example, he took advantage of the situation, stopping just short of sucking on her fingers as he smiled and asked, "Are you feeling better...?"Not expecting Vahn to suddenly ask her a question, Eva averted her eyes to the side, her face nearly as red as the blood that previously stained her hand as she answered, "Yes...you can let my hand go now..."Rather than immediately obey, Vahn grasped Eva's hand with both his own, asking in a slightly hopeful tone, "Do I have to...?"Hearing Vahn's 'plea', Eva gave him a sidelong look without turning to face him, choosing to remain completely silent before ultimately squeezing his hand as her response. This brought a relieved smile to Vahn's face and, after resting his forehead against their overlapped hands, he muttered, "Thank you..." in a sincere tone...---In the end, Vahn remained at Eva's side as if she were an in-patient for the better part of a day. It was only when her stomach released a tiny growl, causing her face to immediately turn beet red, that they finally changed locations.Ignoring Eva's protests, Vahn carried her like a princess back to the bed, and, after making sure she was comfortable, he pulled out enough appliances and kitchenware to fully stock a kitchen before cooking a number of food items he knew she enjoyed. He could have pulled out fully cooked dishes, but, having learned how to cook specifically to make people happy, Vahn wanted to convey his emotions through his cooking. Eva was especially weak to such sentiments, and, as she hadn't 'officially' accepted him yet, Vahn was pulling out all the stops.Seeing Vahn wearing an apron as he happily prepared food for her, Eva found herself tightly hugging a pillow as she watched him from the side. The aroma of the food made her stomach growl even louder, but, with most of her face concealed by the fluffy pillow, she didn't feel the urge to turn away. Rather, seeing how happy he was, Eva could feel a warmth spread through her heart, and, if not for the 'aching' of her body, she might have even smiled...Since he didn't want to keep her waiting too long, Vahn made a plate full of saucer-sized pancakes before cutting up a few fruits into bite-sized pieces and baking them in the oven for a few minutes. He knew Eva had a bit of a sweet tooth, and, though it might have been better to make something like rice porridge or parfait, it wasn't as if she was actually injured.Without forcing Eva to get out of the bed, Vahn had her sit up properly before pulling out a bed tray and setting the food out for her. Then, understanding her needs before she had to vocalize them, Vahn pulled out an ornate teapot, filling the ceramic cup he had set out for her moments prior. He also gave her a half glass of milk and orange juice, but, knowing she was infinitely more fond of tea, Vahn made sure to prepare her favorite kind.Though she already knew Vahn's character, Eva was still a little taken aback by how attentive he was being. He had completely ceased his teasing from the moment she had awoken, and, as if he was even more relieved than she was, an affectionate smile was perpetually plastered on his face as an aura of 'relief' permeated his entire being. This caused the warm feeling in her chest to compound exponentially, but, due to the state of her body, it also made her feel more than a little frustrated...In an attempt to calm herself, Eva picked up the tea Vahn had poured her, the tensions of her body easing slightly as the familiar aroma pervaded her senses. Then, after emptying her cup in a single go, Eva released a hot yet contented sigh before looking toward Vahn and musing, "I forgot how 'resourceful' you were...I guess that's a point in your favor..."Hearing Eva's 'compliment', Vahn's smile became marginally more pronounced as he poured her a new cup of tea and answered, "Thank you. I have worked hard to reach this point. Once my body completely adapts to this world, I will even be able to manipulate Space, Time, and Creation. There is a lot we need to discuss, Eva. For now, however, I just want you to focus on being happy. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to let me know..."Though she knew he didn't mean anything perverse by his words, a light flush colored Eva's cheeks as several thoughts announced their presence within her mind. Even the tiny voice that would normally seed caution and doubt within her mind was telling her to 'lock down' the affectionately smiling man seated at her bedside. It whispered promises of vengeance and conquest, but, compared to normal, it was much quieter than before, almost as if it was gradually fading away...As that thought crossed her mind, a small smile developed across Eva's face as she decided to forgo a response. Instead, she focused on the meal in front of her, periodically alternating between the sweet and fluffy pancakes to the tart and crisp fruit. She had actually forgotten what it was like to even feel hunger and satiation, causing the smile on her face to gradually grow in size as Vahn watched silently from the side. It was only after she had eaten her fill, a surprisingly satisfying feeling, that Eva stated, "I will have you explain everything to me in as much detail as possible. I know there are some things you can't talk about, but, everything else, I want to know."Nodding his head, Vahn was prepared to tell Eva everything he could about himself, the future of this world, and his intentions for the future. Before he could, however, Eva neatly arranged her silverware on the bed tray before adding, "Before that...I wanted to thank you. I still haven't made up my mind, but, if I don't do something to thank you, I think I might regret it for the rest of my life..."Even without her explaining her intentions, Vahn could feel his heart begin to beat rapidly as Eva became progressively more sheepish. Her face had become completely crimson, but, rather than avert her eyes, she stared directly at him, stating, "I want to experience everything directly...all of the things you did with my Memory Fragment...I want you to do them to me..."As if she couldn't realize what she was saying, Eva's eyes became round as she finally averted her gaze away from his. She did her best to remain outwardly calm, but, within the confines of her own mind, she was screaming like an embarrassed banshee. She knew she wouldn't have done this if her body was 'normal', but, with so many memories of intimate acts playing across her mind, Eva couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and curiosity...Of all the things Eva could have said, Vahn was least prepared for the words that had just left her mouth. He was expecting her to maintain her front for years, forcing him to go to extreme lengths before finally relenting when he was near the breaking point. This was so far outside his expectations that he didn't really know how to respond. However, knowing he would be a fool to ask if she was certain, Vahn found himself answering, "That, and more..."Hearing Vahn's response, Eva felt the muscles of her lower body contract as a giddy feeling began to spread throughout her body. She felt like she had just given a predator free reign inside a farmhouse, but, even as Vahn discard the tray and slowly climbed into the bed, she didn't try to run away. Instead, a nasally and ticklish moan escaped her throat as she allowed him to lower her to the bed, his teeth lightly nibbling on her collarbone...---Shortly after his foray with Eva had begun, Vahn couldn't help but release an exuberant laugh as abject jubilation and relief spread through his body. His 'crazed' reaction earned him a few incredulous looks from everyone around the dining table, but, preempting everyone else, it was Theo who asked, "I'm guessing things went well? If so, then, congrats! I'm happy for you, Vahn~!"After giving the bronze-skinned girl a side-long look, Fenrir piggybacked Theo's words, an expectant smile on her face as she added, "You've worked hard, Master. I'm looking forward to seeing Eva again. Now my Ice Magic will become even more powerful, ehehehe~."Nodding his head, Vahn interrupted Arika's and Asuna's congratulatory words, a massive grin on his face as he said, "It might take a few days to fully convince her, but I'm certain Eva will be traveling with us from now on. I hope everyone can get along with her. It might not be easy at first, but, so long as you remember that Eva's true nature is that of a kind and caring girl who just wants to make friends, everything will go well. Asuna, I'll be counting on you to melt the ice around her heart, okay~?"Though she wasn't quite sure what Vahn was asking of her, Asuna didn't have to think before smiling as she answered, "Leave it to me~."Since she was seated right next to him, Vahn's smile became even more pronounced as he affectionately ruffled Asuna's hair. She was quickly turning into a reliable young lady, the kind who could listen to other peoples' problems and help them out with a smile. This had made her one of the most popular girls in school, and, though this was partially due to his growing fanbase, the fact Asuna melded into the environment so seamlessly always brought a smile to Vahn's face.Seeing Vahn stroking the smiling Asuna's head, Arika released a small sigh, but, at the same time, she was also looking forward to meeting Eva. She knew the rumors of the Dark Evangel, but, knowing Vahn had come to this world specifically for the notorious Demon Queen, Arika couldn't help but feel a certain amount of curiosity toward her. At the very least, she wanted to know what made Eva so special, so, after drawing his attention, she offered a small smile of her own, saying, "I'm also looking forward to meeting her. I'm certain there is much I can learn from her..." before turning her attention back to her meal...Title: Amorous(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'How is everyone doing today? Good? Good.')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

With a glazed look in her eyes, Eva watched the sunset from within a cozy double-slipper tub that was perched on the edge of a massive ice shelf. The frigid environment, cold enough to turn freshwater to ice in mere moments, seemed to have absolutely no effect on the steaming hot bath. Rather, even when the wind lightly caressed her skin, it carried with it a comfortable warmth, a stark contrast to the biting chill that could claim the life of a normal human in fewer than five minutes...Exhaling a steamy sigh, Eva allowed her body to sink a little deeper into the water, staring up at the face of the man cradling her from behind as she muttered, "There is something poking my butt..."Instead of denying the claim, Vahn just nodded his head, stating, "That is pretty normal in this kind of situation..."After staring up at Vahn's face for a few seconds, a deadpan expression on her face, Eva lazily rolled her eyes before reaching between her legs and grabbing the offending member. Then, with an accusatory tone to her voice, she complained, "Excessive..." as a ruddy glow began to spread across her cheeks.Without commenting, Vahn reclined his head back, his arms resting on the sides of the tub as he let Eva do whatever she wanted. She forced herself to act boldly, but, if pressed, she would immediately become skittish and standoffish. He quickly learned it much easier to allow her to experiment on her own, reacting only when she directly tempted or enticed him. This made it a lot easier for her, and, while it was more passive than he would have liked, Vahn had learned to enjoy her fumblings and curiosities...Feeling her heart racing quite a bit, Eva swallowed audibly before closing her legs around the startlingly hot member. She didn't move around much, but she allowed it to press against her most sensitive spot, her breathing becoming progressively more ragged as she felt the heat flow into her body. She could feel a growing desire to rub her thighs together, but, knowing this would only make things 'worse', Eva released a hot sigh before leaning back and saying, "Help me cool down..."Hearing Eva's command, Vahn brought his hands from the sides of the tub, his left delving into the water to rest on her abdomen as his right lightly cupped her breast. Though he took the liberty to lightly mold her left breast, Eva didn't reprimand him. Instead, she released a contented sigh, her tensions fading as a cooling sensation replaced the growing heat in her body. She had grown rather fond of Vahn's touch, as, with a simple wave of his hand, he could bring her great pleasure or great relief, entirely dependent on her mood...After relaxing against Vahn's body for the better part of a minute, Eva felt a light pinch that caused her eyes to slowly peel open. She didn't stop it immediately, but, after Vahn began to lightly trace his index finger around her areole, she muttered, "You're pushing your luck..."Removing his hand from Eva's breast, Vahn just lightly chuckled before kissing the top of her head and musing, "Maybe I'll really get lucky one day..."With a bit of redness spreading across her cheeks, a common sight these days, Eva pulled her body further up, exposing her modest figure to the open air as she said, "It's about time for us to get out. My fingertips already look like dried prunes. See?"Seeing Eva's wrinkly fingertips, Vahn adopted a moderately amused smile as he mused, "I can see that..." in a lighthearted tone. Then, without dawdling, he elevated from the tub in a single swift movement while simultaneously shifting Eva to a princess carry. In the past, she had tried to protest this, claiming she could walk just fine on her own, but, after a week of pampering, it had become 'normal' for him to carry her around everywhere they went...---While watching Vahn skillfully brush her hair through the large mirror he had prepared for her, Eva broke the silence, stating, "I've already been gone a lot longer than expected. If I'm going to accompany you, there are some things I need to retrieve from my hideout first. I also need to prepare an adequate disguise, so it will probably be a few days before I return. There aren't too many people who know my true form, but, I'd rather not risk being hunted down while my powers are sealed. Besides, I don't want those brats seeing me like this...they might get some strange ideas..."Since they had already discussed her disappearing for a few days, Vahn wasn't too surprised by Eva's words. He knew there were some things she still wanted to keep secret, so, until she was ready to open her heart to him, he wasn't going to push her. Instead, he smiled back at her through the mirror, an affectionate glimmer in his eyes as he said, "You know you can call me if anything happens. Even if I'm on the other side of the planet, I would bore through the core itself to reach you in the shortest period of time~."Rolling her eyes, Eva pulled her left leg up into the chair, resting her cheek on it as she said, "Just don't go chasing bunny girls while I'm gone...pervert..."Hearing the familiar remark, Vahn's smile became slightly wry, but, instead of commenting, he continued combing through Eva's silky, golden, locks. At this point, he was half-expecting her to show up disguised as a bunny girl when she appeared in Ariadne. She seemed inordinately concerned about the fact he had 'stalked' the woman to her place of work, so, in a misguided attempt to appeal to him, Vahn could easily imagine Eva doing something rather silly in order to make a statement in front of the other girls...Keeping his thoughts to himself, Vahn took the initiative to braid Eva's hair in a waterfall braid. He felt it suited her quite a bit, and, though she had quite a bit of hair to work with, Vahn had hundreds of years of experience dressing hair. His fingers were 'impossibly' dexterous, and, if he observed the flow of the individual strands, he could prevent painful knots and snags with relative ease. This made him everyone's go-to whenever an important occasion or event was coming up, as, even if they were going with the same style, he could always fix it in a way that brought it very-near perfection.Though she wanted to complain about Vahn doing as he pleased, Eva could never quite find the words to stop him. He would always fix her hair in a way that perfectly complimented the outfit she was wearing, and, even if she scrutinized it for an hour after the fact, it was almost impossible to find a single loose strand. Rather, when it came to pampering others, Vahn was exceptionally skilled at even the most mundane tasks...Like adding the final touches to a masterfully designed cake, Vahn threaded a black ribbon through Eva's hair before tying it into a small bow at the back of her head. The entire process had taken around forty minutes, but it perfectly complimented the gothic lolita style dress she was currently wearing. She only ever wore white when they were spending time together, so, even before she had brought it up, Vahn had already discerned Eva's intentions the moment he saw her dress. This was the main reason he had chosen such a complicated style, as, even if it was just forty minutes longer, he wanted to spend more time with her.Seeing the look in Vahn's eyes, Eva repressed a sigh as she hopped out of the chair and said, "I won't be longer than three days. If I don't arrive before the sunrise on the fourth day, I give you permission to come and find me. Now, stop looking like an abandoned puppy and come over here..."Expecting Eva to give him a goodbye kiss, Vahn's mood improved slightly as he closed the distance between them in an instant. At the same time, however, Eva tossed a red candy into her mouth. A small cloud of red magical energy erupted from her body like a dust explosion, and, before Vahn's eyes could react, Eva had wrapped her arms around him, her impeccably soft breasts pressing into him as she stole a deep kiss. The pill she had tossed into her mouth was known as an [Age-Decieving Pill], a highly coveted item in the black market that created a physical illusion that allowed you to freely modify your age and appearance.A stark contrast to her true appearance, the 'adult' Eva stood at roughly 178cm tall, and, while it might be just an illusion, her body was nearly flawless with bust, waist, hip measurements of 88, 69, and 88, respectively. The only incongruity was, despite her body feeling real, including a perfect transmission of body temperature, her weight hadn't changed. She was only 130cm tall in her original form, so, despite having 'grown' quite a bit, Eva's adult form only weighed a little over 25kg, roughly 56lbs.Despite the feeling of incongruity, Vahn wasn't shy when it came to reciprocating Eva's deep kiss. Her personality seemed to change completely when she was in her adult form, so, rather than show any embarrassment or inhibitions, she, for a brief moment, gave off the aura of a carnivorous woman. She even snaked her leg between his thighs while letting her nails sink into his chest with enough force to tear the fabric of his shirt...Feeling a now-familiar ache begin to spread through her body, Eva separated her lips from Vahn's, a thin trail of glossy liquid linking them together for a brief moment before she licked it away and mused, "Behave while I'm gone...if I find out you were playing around, I really will punish you..."To emphasize her words, Eva traced the nail of her index finger across Vahn's cheek, cutting a thin line similar to a blade. Though it healed instantly, the meaning still got across due to the predatory glimmer in her eyes. It was almost like she was a completely different person, but, treating her no differently than before, Vahn held her loosely in his embrace, an affectionate smile on his face as he said, "I'll be waiting..."Adopting a smile of her own, Eva planted a few more kisses on Vahn's lips, holding the back of his head as if refusing to let him escape. It was only after a few minutes had passed that she finally released him, a seductive glow suffusing her cheeks as she mused, "Try not to miss me too much, brat..."Content with her final barb, Eva's smile curled up at the edges as her body vanished into thin air. As for Vahn, he just rolled his eyes slightly before releasing a somewhat sad sigh, already missing her despite the fact she had just disappeared. Then, after cleaning up all the signs of their cohabitation, a pale golden aura shrouded his body as he took to the sky, enjoying the feeling of the frigid air as he set his sights on the distant Ariadne...----With Eva departing long after sunset, everyone back in Ariadne had already retired for the night. As a result, Theo had already returned to her room for the night, but, in spite of this, Vahn still had a half-naked woman lying next to him. Arika had grown increasingly bold as of late, and, though she still entered a state similar to 'stasis' while asleep, she had reached the point of curling up at his side, her hand resting on his chest or abdomen.Fortunately, even if he was feeling a little tense after his foray with Eva, Vahn had the always-eager Medusa to keep him company while Fenrir cuddled Asuna. Though they couldn't be as intense as usual, the result of Medusa belly beginning to swell, Vahn still enjoyed entangling with her for hours at a time. They had the entire [Sub-Space Orb] to themselves, and, though it only had a time dilation of 4:1, that was more than enough for a late-night liaison.With her hair tightly entangling most of Vahn's body, coiling around even his neck, Medusa released rhythmic gasps as her insides twisted, turned, and writhed about in response to the invasive heat that seemed to pervade the entirety of her inner sanctum. There was very little movement involved whenever they had sex, but, despite appearing immobile on the outside, her insides were 'violently' coiling around him. This would go on for upwards of twelve hours at a time, bringing great pleasure to both of them...While Medusa's insides seemed to be trying to grind him into meat paste, Vahn was nibbling on her pointed, elf-like, ear. At the same time, despite her hair trying to stop his movements, he gently massaged around the base of her tail with his left hand while holding the tail itself in his right. Though it was covered in metallic scales, Medusa's tail was actually very pliant, and, as was often the case, it was also the most sensitive spot on her entire body...Feeling her Master kneading her tail, Medusa's mouth and eyes closed as a small whimper escaped her throat. She wasn't in any pain, but, having her weak spot played with, Medusa felt a surge of pleasure that was difficult to cope with. It was enough for her just to be linked together with her Master, so, when he stimulated her even further, it took every bit of restraint she had just to avoid having her voice resonate through the surroundings with enough force to crack crystal...Hearing Medusa's whimpering, Vahn stopped nibbling on her ear, and, after staring into her golden eyes, he ran his hand along the length of her tail while whispering, "You don't have to hold back...your voice is very beautiful...I want to hear it..."Punctuating his words, Vahn grabbed the tip of Medusa's tail, and, though it wasn't the most sensitive spot, it still sent shivers through her body. She knew what he was going to do, so, in preparation, she took several deep breaths before coiling around him with more than enough force to crush steel. Then, similar to the Convergence of Heaven and Earth, Vahn linked the nerves in Medusa's tail, tracing his left hand across the top ridges while tracing the fingers of his right hand along the underside...With a voice that could humble even the greatest opera singers, Medusa released a sonorous cry that could be heard for several kilometers. Had he been a normal person, everything from Vahn's eardrums to his organs would have ruptured as a result of the physical shockwave that always followed Medusa's outburst. He even assumed she had an Innate related to her voice, as, in the past, Da Vinci had determined that the sounds produced by her cries were able to resonate with physical matter, shattering and rupturing even magically reinforced metals. This was the main reason Medusa tried to hold back her voice, but, unafraid of the consequences, Vahn always felt a small amount of vindication whenever she screamed 'Master'...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'And here we see a Tsundere in its natural habitat...','Adult Eva likes to tease people even more than Vahn~','MAAAAAASTAAAAAAAAAAAH~!')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

Seeing the look in Vahn's eyes, Eva could tell he was completely serious about asking her to marry him. This caused a surge of emotions to crash into the tidal walls of her mind, dashing her sensibilities and filling her body with feelings of anxiety, trepidation, and warmth. Despite this, her first instinct was to shout, "Absolutely not! No way!"Fearing Vahn might start kissing her again, Eva quickly broke out of his embrace, her face a deep shade of red as she spun around, glaring at him as she added, "You can't just propose to me like this! Have you completely lost your mind!? Did you think I was going to say yes just because you kissed me...!?"Seeing Eva back away from him, her tiny hands protectively guarding her body, Vahn couldn't prevent a wry smile from marring his expression as he answered, "I was hoping you would at least consider it...I'm serious, you know? You might think I'm just a fickle pervert, but you also know my feelings are sincere. My love for you has only grown over these hundred years...even if you don't want to marry me, at least give me a chance to show you how much I love you..."Though her heart was beating madly in her chest, Eva forced a glowering look on her face as she harumphed and said, "Even if your feelings are sincere, that doesn't mean I'll just accept them. You are well aware of the kind of person I am...I might be able to accept a few girls, but I know you have more than just a few. Do you think I would be happy watching the man I love fawning over other women? I mean, really...?"Even if it as a slip of the tongue, Vahn, and Eva herself, noticed when she mentioned 'the man she loved'. Her face, somehow, became even redder than before, and, though he knew it was probably a bad idea, a silly smile spread across Vahn's. Then, earning an incredulous look that seemed to ask, 'are you insane?', Vahn nodded his head, stating, "If you give me the chance, I am absolutely certain I can make you happy."Nearly falling out of the sky due to the amount of mental damage she had taken, Eva felt weak when Vahn unhesitantly caught her in his arms. She instinctually tried to push him away, only to find that she couldn't muster any strength at all. This made her feel a palpable amount of frustration, tears building in her eyes as she complained, "You're a real jerk..." in a small voice.Without commenting on her accusation, Vahn, once again, firmly held Eva's body, holding her head to his chest as he muttered, "I love you..." in response to all of her insults. She lambasted him quite a bit, but, no matter how harsh her words were, Eva never made an earnest effort to pull away from him. She allowed herself to be held, absentmindedly listening to his heartbeat while mumbling insults for well over an hour...---Though she never agreed to marry him, Eva eventually calmed down enough to converse, an absentminded expression on her face as she straddled his lap and leaned against his chest. It stood out quite a bit, but Vahn had purchased a bed similar to the one her Memory Fragment had used. This gave her a sense of 'familiarity' that allowed her to remain calm, even though it felt like her body was burning up from the inside...While affectionately combing his fingers through Eva's long, golden, hair, Vahn asked, "Have you made your choice? Remember, there is nothing forcing you to settle on a single option. I will do everything in my power to make you happy, Eva...no matter what you choose..."Understanding the hidden meaning contained in Vahn's words, Eva released a snort as she less-than-gently pinched the flesh near his waist. There wasn't much to grab, as Vahn didn't seem to have an ounce of fat on his body, but she could still find purchase with her incredibly sharp fingernails.Satisfied by Vahn's silence, Eva organized her thoughts for a few moments before answering, "I have thought about this day for so long...now that I'm spoiled for choice, I don't know what to pick. I want to be more mature, but I don't want to abandon my body. I might have broken a long time ago, but this is still me. Even if it would make me stronger, I wouldn't be satisfied unless I can rip that bastard apart using the same power they forced upon me..."Though it didn't show on his face, Vahn felt an extreme amount of relief after hearing Eva's words. They might be somewhat 'dangerous', but, in the grand scheme of things, keeping her body and moving forward was the best way to ensure her happiness. If she learned to accept and love herself, she would be able to gradually open her heart to others. He knew she felt an extreme amount of guilt due to her actions as a 'Demon Queen', so, if there was any hope for absolution, it was through accepting herself and moving forward.Meeting expectations, Eva lifted her head from his chest, staring up into his eyes with a fretful expression as she asked, "Will you still love me, even if I stay like this? I wouldn't mind having my power sealed so that I can mature, but, if that doesn't work, would you be able to love this body that has no feminine charm? Would you be ab...!?"Without waiting for Eva to finish, Vahn allowed his natural reaction to speak for him, startling the petite vampire princess quite a bit. Her first instinct was to lift her butt, but, preventing her from going anywhere, Vahn placed his hands on Eva's hips, forcing her to stay put as he said, "You already knew the answer before you asked...I love all of you, Eva...I accepted everything about you long ago...the good...the bad...everything..."Punctuating his words, Vahn ran his left hand up Eva's spine, his [Hands of Nirvana] working in overdrive as he traced the line of her back through the fabric of her dress. This forced a girlish moan to escape her lips, her face becoming so dark it was nearing purple as she stared back at him with teary eyes, biting her bottom lip. This was enough to cause Vahn to swallow, hard, as his sensibilities began to recede faster than the tide prior to a tsunami...Though Vahn's expression brought her a considerable amount of vindication, Eva also felt an increasing amount of anxiety as an aching feeling spread through her body. She found herself placing her hand on Vahn's chest, lightly pushing away from his body as she murmured, "Not yet...I'm not ready..."Like a flame that just had a bucket of water poured on it, Vahn's passions extinguished in an instant, his expression turning gentle as he said, "Sorry...I've been a little frustrated as of late. Don't worry...I will never force you against your will..."Ignoring the urge to remark about him shamelessly embracing her at his leisure, Eva showed a slight smile in response to his words, issuing a demure 'Nn...' as she nestled against his bare chest. Then, after a long period of silence, she muttered, "I choose the third option...I will give you a chance to prove your love to me...so long as your method doesn't permanently seal my power, I want to try growing up...then, when I'm older...I...I might consider your offer..."Feeling uncontainable jubilation, a massive smile spread across Vahn's face, but, before he could embrace her even tighter, Eva added, "I'm only going to give you one chance...if I catch you laying a hand on those brats before I give you my permission, don't blame me if I decide to castrate you with my bare hands. I can't do anything about your current women, but I'm not going to play second fiddle to girls who still smell of their mothers' milk..."Though it didn't fade away completely, Vahn's smile became less pronounced as he nodded his head and answered, "I already told them about you, so they shouldn't have anything to say on the matter. Besides, I'm not exactly trying to expand my harem...my only reason for coming to this world was to save you and defeat the Mage of the Beginning. I might have a weakness against beautiful women who show sincere affection toward me, but that doesn't mean I'll just accept anyone...I don't want to hurt you any more than you have already been hurt..."Hearing Vahn's words, Eva couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but, in spite of this, she issued a light snort before remarking, "You say that, but who was it standing outside a gate like a horny mutt stalking a rabbit? Tell me, did she also have 'sincere affection' toward you...?"Feeling as though Eva was never going to let him live that moment down, Vahn just released a silent sigh, the smile on his face turning wry as he whispered, "If someone wasn't hiding in my shadow like a voyeur, I wouldn't have been so 'stressed' out at the time..."With an aghast, bright red, expression, Eva stared back at Vahn as if he had completely lost it. She had only just agreed to give him a chance, yet, in spite of her 'magnanimity', he dared to say such things to her? Even if his words were true, there were some things you just didn't say to a lady you were trying to woo!Realizing he might have gone too far, Vahn adopted an apologetic expression, averting his eyes as he muttered, "Sorry...I just..."Shaking her head, Eva maintained an angry expression as she said, "No. Don't apologize. I'm just now remembering how much you like to tease people. Just this once, I'll let you get away with anything, so, be honest with me. Was your attraction to that woman really just because of my presence? If she were to solicit you, would you really be able to say no? There were plenty of women who solicited you while I was observing, but she was the only one who made you act like a complete idiot. Tell me why. I promise not to be angry."Though he didn't believe her words in the slightest, Vahn still nodded his head, answering, "I liked her smell...though I was also curious about what it would be like to have sex with a rabbit girl, the main thing that attracted me was her aroma. It's hard to explain, but its the truth..."Not expecting Vahn to mention he was attracted to the woman's smell, Eva didn't really know how to respond. She was tempted to smell her own aroma, but, realizing how embarrassing it would be to sniff her armpits while seated in Vahn's lap, she, instead, asked, "Oh? And what do you think about my aroma...?"Even if he could understand why she would ask, Vahn was still a little surprised that Eva would ask him such a thing. As a result, he hesitated for a brief moment before leaning forward and audibly inhaling. This caused Eva's face to turn bright red as she pushed his face away from her and said, "Don't just smell me at your leisure...!"Unable to resist, Vahn began laughing in a light-hearted manner, even as Eva was pushing his face away from her. He hadn't exactly forgotten how she was like, but it was refreshing to see her behaving like this. It reminded him of the time they spent together in the orb, and, though it would probably take some time, Vahn believed it wouldn't be too long before Eva became the same affectionate woman in his memories...Seeing Vahn laughing like an idiot, Eva showed a slightly incredulous expression on her face as she internally remarked, ("Did I really fall in love with this shameless bastard...?")---After calming down, Vahn discussed the matter of sealing the malignant energy inside Eva's body, explaining, "I'm going to use a technique called Nirvana Rebirth to revert each of the cells into your body back to their natural state. As for the malignant energy in your body, I will seal it away within your dantian using a special seal known as the Taiji Inversion. This will allow you to access the energy in the event of an emergency, but, unless you break the seal of your own volition, you will remain a normal, albeit powerful, human girl. You will lose the ability to use Magia Erebea, but, in exchange, you will be able to increase your internal reserves using the techniques your Memory Fragment had learned in the past. By the time you remove the seal, you will have become far more powerful than your current self..."As she had memories regarding the Nirvana Rebirth, and many of Vahn's techniques, Eva wasn't completely unfamiliar with the process. Because of this, she stared at Vahn with a look of blame in her eyes, asking, "So, I need to relinquish control over my body, allowing you to do whatever you want while I have no chance to resist?"Since he could tell Eva was joking with him, at least a little bit, Vahn unashamedly nodded his head, adding, "I'll also need to use the Convergence of Heaven and Earth to bring you back. I have improved a lot since the last time you experienced it, so expect quite a surprise when you wake up..."Now with a red face, Eva glared at Vahn, muttering, "You just don't know when to quit...I'm starting to think you won't be satisfied until I discipline you properly..."To emphasize her point, Eva allowed the nails on her fingers to grow until they were about ten centimeters in length. She also had a rather vicious and sadistic smile on her face, but, rather than show any kind of fear, Vahn just smiled as he answered, "It has been a while...so long as you don't get out of hand, I wouldn't mind letting you discipline me a bit..."Hearing Vahn's shameless remark, Eva's face became an even deeper shade of red, her nails retracting in an instant as she balled her hand into a fist, clocking Vahn with enough force to send him skidding across the landscape as she exclaimed, "You're really pushing it, you know that!? If you aren't willing to shape up, don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands! Do you really want me to bully you in front of those brats...!?"Rising from a distant snow bed, Vahn rubbed his swollen cheek, which, due to Eva's energy still lingering in the tissue, had nearly reached the size of a softball. Though it rapidly began to shrink, it was still surprisingly painful, so, after recovering, Vahn smiled wryly as he stared back at the little girl in 'attack mode', answering, "Sorry...I'll try not to tease you too much..."Noticing Vahn didn't say he would stop teasing her, a tick mark appeared on Eva's brow, but, instead of attacking him a second time, she released a tired sigh before falling onto the bed and saying, "I'm too tired to deal with you right now. Get over here and give me a massage. I need to limber up before I start beating you for real..."Though he knew Eva was actually telling him to use the Nirvana Rebirth on her, Vahn also felt she wasn't joking about beating him up after the fact. Rather, regardless of whether or not she was angry going into the procedure, he knew it was inevitable that she would beat him after the fact. The Convergence of Heaven and Earth was rather merciless, and, given Eva's nature, she wouldn't be able to calm down with venting a bit.Despite knowing he was in for a bit of pain, the atmosphere around Vahn became serious as he nodded his head and answered, "Understood. Leave it to me."Seeing the 'resolute' look in Vahn's eyes, Eva internalized a sigh before rolling over onto her stomach and mumbling, "Nn...I believe in you..." before adding, "Even if you are a perverted idiot..." in a voice he couldn't hear.(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Nothing to see here.
