Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Staring directly at Vahn, Leticia had a serious expression on her face as she asked, "What do you think about this...?"Though he had been following the conversation, Vahn still raised his brows, asking, "Pardon...?" in a slightly confused tone of voice. He had an idea of what she was asking, but, for the sake of avoiding a misunderstanding, he would rather she provide a bit of clarification.Furrowing her brows ever so slightly, a hint of bashfulness crept into Leticia's countenance as she asked, "Are you...are you really okay with this? We've only just met. I can't think of any reason you would go to such lengths to...help my people..."Ignoring the ambient snickering of Shiroyasha, Vahn explained, "Listen. The truth of the matter is I don't think about things like this. I just do what feels right and help however I can. You're also kind of jumping to conclusions because of this damn imp. If you actually stopped to consider her words, you would realize I don't need to be the one to 'help' your people. You're free to love whoever you want. It doesn't matter if they're a normal human, a demon, or even a beast person. So long as you approve of them, I can convert anyone into a Pure-Blooded Vampire.""Tch..."Clicking her tongue, Shiroyasha kept her arms crossed as she remarked, "See what I mean? This guy is as dumb as they come."Furrowing his brows, Vahn was about to retort Shiroyasha's remark when Leticia issued a sonorous, bell-like giggle. Then, with the most expressive smile he had seen on her face thus far, she said, "So it would seem." in a delicate yet audibly playful tone of voice.Shaking his head, Vahn's expression morphed into a wry smile as he exhaled a sigh and stated, "I'm just trying to be considerate..." in a helpless manner.Maintaining her smile, Leticia responded by explaining, "Vampires used to be among the strongest and most affluent races in the entire Little Garden. In spite of this, we were still brought to ruin in a relatively short period of time. If we are to rebuild, we would need the backing of powerful allies to avoid a repeat of history. Shiroyasha-sama seems to trust you. For me, that is more than enough to place the fate of my species in your hands..."Bowing her head, Leticia was about to refer to Vahn as her Master before the latter stopped her, a wry smile on his face as he asked, "Aren't you rushing things a little too quickly? You could at least take a bit of time to think things through. There is literally nothing forcing you to make a decision right this instant...""You're mistaken..."Placing her hands over her chest, a delicate smile developed across Leticia's face as she added, "I'm not rushing into things. I lived my entire life in the Little Garden. As one of the persons responsible for the development of the Floor Master system, I have worked alongside the most powerful beings in existence. When we needed them most, the factions supporting us completely ignored the plight of the Vampire race. The same thing happened to the Moon Rabbits, the race publically recognized as the Aristocrats of the Little Garden. Thus, while it might be impertinent and selfish of me, I would feel a lot more assured if the person backing me was also my husband..."Though it was very faint, a subtle blush developed across Leticia's face as she looked up at him with her slightly glistening, ruby-red eyes. This was like a javelin straight through his heart. Then, before he could recover his senses, Leticia dealt a killing blow by saying, "I don't mind sharing you with my sister..." in a meek, uncharacteristically bashful tone of voice.With Shiroyasha failing to inhibit her laughter even with both hands covering her mouth, Vahn sent a pointed look her way before returning his gaze to Leticia. He didn't know if it was because he had a soft spot for Vampires or if it was because he was currently making love to three different women. Either way, her vulnerable and hopeful look managed to penetrate his defenses as if they had never existed in the first place. Thus, despite a wry smile developing across his face, he was sincere when he answered, "I'll do my best...thanks for giving me the opportunity..."......"Is something the matter...?"Though others might not be able to notice it, Scathach was nearly as perceptive as Fenrir when it came to Vahn. She was one of the few people who could detect when his senses overlapped with hers, and, when they were alone together, even the arrangement of molecules within his body was known to her.Replying with a light chuckle, Vahn gave Scathach's pert bottom a smack before squeezing it firmly as he mused, "Just the machinations of a mischievous imp...""Mnn~."Since Vahn didn't want to talk about it, Scathach wasn't going to insist. Instead, she linked her arms around his neck while tensing the muscles in her abdomen to produce an undulating, wavy motion. She could even direct the individual cells flowing through her veins so manipulating the muscles of her body was child's play.Feeling Scathach tighten around him, her womb practically kissing his glans, a somewhat wolfish smile spread across Vahn's face as he attempted to reverse their positions. She had been straddling him in a relatively tame cowgirl position, and, while it was both relaxing and pleasurable, he knew it would take a lot more than that to get her off.Adopting a mischievous smile, Scathach reacted to the tensing of Vahn's body by pushing down on his shoulders. There were few things she enjoyed more than being pushed down and forcibly taken by the man she recognized as both her Master and Lover. One of these things was teasing him, so, until he got fed-up enough to take her by force, she intended to do just that.With Scathach leaning over him, Vahn could feel her hair tickling the sides of his face as she stared down at him, her crimson red irises glistening through the shadows. This gave her a rather terrifying appeal, but, having already grown accustomed to the mature beauty's antics, Vahn's smile widened as his penis inflated inside her body.Biting her bottom lip, the ruddy complexion of Scathach's face become marginally more prominent as she whispered, "That's cheating..."Without losing his smile, Vahn spread her butt with his hands, stating, "I'm just getting started..." as another version of himself manifested behind her.........While numerous versions of himself were committing various licentious acts, another version of Vahn was lounging about at the Cafe called Inumimi Paradise. The owner, a woman with Doberman traits named Silica, had already closed the shop for the day so he and Siegfried were just relaxing as dog girls of various shapes and sizes cuddled up next to them."So? What do you think? I told you this place was paradise..."With his hands caressing the face of one woman and the head of another, Vahn felt as though his heart was being healed with each passing moment. As for Siegfried, he had a somewhat conflicted expression on his face, but, at the same time, he couldn't help caressing the heads and ears of the girls that had flocked around him."It's very pleasant..."Though he felt like his wives would either kill him or dress up as dogs the moment they found out about this little liaison, Siegfried couldn't help himself. He had always been weak against cute and adorable creatures. Vahn had also lent him a Gift related to petting, so, much like the former when he was first comprehending the wonders of Petting Laws, Siegfried was captivated by the different ways in which each woman reacted.Nodding his head like a teacher witnessing his student's growth, Vahn was about to scratch near the base of a girl's ears when he felt a bit of moisture on his left thigh. He had previously inhibited his sense of smell to block out the veritable atmosphere of pheromones, but that apparently wasn't enough. One of the girls, possessing brown hair, droopy ears, and a bushy tail, had removed her panties in preparation for her turn and was now sneakily grinding against his leg with a completely innocent-looking smile on her face."..."For a brief moment, Vahn considered gently chastising the girl and informing Silica he hadn't come here for this kind of service. Instead, he began to bounce his knee like someone with restless leg syndrome, surprising the mischievous brunette quite a bit. This was immediately noticed by pretty much every other girl present, and, as a result, the already tense and steamy atmosphere became noticeably warmer in an instant.Feeling the body temperature of the girls around him steadily increasing, Siegfried's smile became wry as he said, "I should probably get going."Though the girls around Siegfried visibly deflated, Vahn nodded his head in understanding, saying, "Next time around, we'll go out for drinks. Who knows? Maybe I'll invite the others as well? It's been a while since we did anything together."While giving each of the girls around him one final caress, Siegfried's expression softened as he said, "I'll let them know. I'll also have a talk with my wives. If they know about it in advance, they probably won't mind if I accompanied you until the end..."Laughing in response to Siegfried's words, Vahn allowed the man to disappear without reclaiming the Gift related to petting. He was curious to learn whether or not it would work inside his personal Realm, and, depending on how he used it, Siegfried's wives might actually come and thank him the next time he visited Avalon.As that thought crossed his mind, an amused smile developed across Vahn's face as the eyes of twenty-three dog girls focused solely on him. This might have intimidated others, but, as a God of Sex, he could create a resonate aura that affected each of the girls present. He could also create additional copies of himself, but, fearing they would become even more ravenous if they learned about such a capability, he decided to deal with the entire group on his own.........Staring at himself in a mirror, Sigurd was genuinely surprised to see how much his appearance had changed after his encounter with Vahn. He had literally grown from 168cm to a moderate 192cm in height. This, alone, would have been a drastic change, but, as if he had been transformed into an entirely different person, even his previously red hair had been converted to a rich and creamy dark brown."Odin's beard...what the hell did that man do to me...?"With Gyda in a complete daze as she admired the musculature of her brother's back, it was Ragna who answered, "Who knows? That man completely defies logic. We don't even know if he's really a Pure-Blooded Dragon. I filed a request with the Central Network but the only information they have is that he arrived in the Divine Realm less than a month ago. There has never been an instance of a Pure-Blooded Dragon arriving from a lower realm so there is clearly something else going on."After admiring his 88cm biceps in the mirror, a smile developed across Sigurd's face as he looked back at his sisters and said, "Either way, we should attempt to make contact with him. Now that we lost one of their assets, I can't imagine the Alliance being too pleased with us. We might not be able to forge an alliance with him but we can at least cut a deal. With his strength, it's only a matter of time before he attempts to spread his influence into the lower-digit gates. If we affiliate ourselves with him early on, we might be able to ride along."Though she was a little peeved about being done in by her own technique, Ragna had always been the type to respect the strong. If her brother wanted to join hands with the Sage Dragon's Hearth, she wasn't going to be the one to interject. Instead, she shifted her attention to Gyda, worried that the latter would let her previous humiliation sway her decision. To her surprise, Gyda didn't seem to be all that bothered. Rather, there was even a slight smile on her face as she stared directly at their brother's abs..."This girl is helpless..."......(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Leticia ain't gonna let Vahn get away that easily xD...','Crimson eyes peering through the darkness...','Vahn can be a real bro at times (UwU)...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

With business picking up quite a bit after his victory in the Gift Game, Vahn found himself seated across from a nervous-looking young man with short brown hair and matching eyes. His outfit, consisting of a sleeveless top, arm warmers, a leather breastplate, blue trousers, armguards, shin guard, and a grey scarf gave him an appearance similar to a Thief. Despite this, he had a kind and caring look on his face as he wryly remarked, "Vahn-sama is quite popular..."Chuckling in amusement, Vahn paid no mind to the chibi-esque individuals treating his body as a jungle gym. At a glance, they resembled humanoid Companions inspired by rabbits, but, in reality, they were five of his children with Usalia."So, what can the Sage Dragon's Hearth do for the Daybreaker Community? I trust you did your homework before coming here..."Sitting ramrod straight the moment he heard Vahn's words, the brown-haired youth replied, "Hai! My Community and I have come to an agreement. We wish to join the Burgeoning Communities Accord. We have already accepted ten children into our ranks and I am prepared to offer my own life as collateral."Nodding his head in approval, Vahn stared into the youth's resolute eyes before picking up the white-haired chibi nomming on a carrot plushie in his lap. Its long hair, rounded facial features, and large eyes made it appear to be a female, but, like all of his children with Usalia, they were actually genderless until they had reached their second stage of evolution.Thinking Vahn was about to hand him the excessively adorable creature, the brown-haired youth became statuesque and nervous. Fortunately, he just manifested a large bottle from thin air to start feeding the tiny tot as he said, "Very well. Your probationary period will start this afternoon. After a month has passed, you will bring by the members of your Community for evaluation. If you pass, I'll perform the awakening process on your most promising members. Is there anything else?"Smiling radiantly, the brown-haired youth promptly bowed low as he exclaimed, "Thank you! The Daybreakers will never forget this kindness...!"Maintaining a casual smile of his own, Vahn manifested a large display placard for the youth to hand outside his Community's residential or work area. These signs had been popping up with increasing frequency in the past few months, as, more often than not, they were the only thing protecting small Communities from assimilation into larger organizations."Well, then. If there's nothing else...Leticia, please escort our guest to the entrance."Startling the youth quite a bit, Leticia appeared from within his shadow wearing what could best be described as an 'Alice' outfit. It was predominately blue and white, and, thanks to her hair color, fair features, and doll-like appearance, the vaguely maid-like outfit suited her quite a bit.Supplying a courteous bow towards Vahn, Leticia's replied, "Yes, Master." before looking towards the statuesque youth and saying, "Please, follow me.""H-Hai...!"Understanding that the petite beauty was the legendary Pure-Blooded Vampire that everyone had been talking about as of late, the brown-haired youth couldn't help feeling nervous. Sure, Vahn was absolutely terrifying, but, due to his overtly casual demeanor, his relatively famous amenability, and the veritable mountain of fluff surrounding him, it was hard to remain tense in his presence...Watching the youth's departure with his eyes, Vahn's expression softened as he exchanged the white-haired rabbit in his hands for one with pink hair before smiling wryly as a rather foul aroma tickled his nose.Staring down at the grey-haired, silver-eyed rabbit, Vahn helplessly asked, "Luna-chan...why do you always poop on Papa...?"Since it was a little too early for them to speak coherently, Luna just smiled radiantly, exclaiming, "Papa~!" before giggling happily.Supplying a chuckle of his own, Vahn lamented how his and Usalia's children were genderless but could still poop. It was quite troublesome, as, despite being as small as Companions, their poops could weigh as much as a kilogram. To make matters even worse, not that he was genuinely upset by the arrangement, most of his children tended to flock around and cling to him since Usalia was generally busy performing her duties as a member of the Sage Dragon's Hearth.Fortunately, Vahn wasn't like normal parents, so, with a snap of his fingers, Luna's poop vanished without a trace as he mused, "I'm guessing you're hungry now, right?""Feed me~!"......After escorting their guest to the entrance, Leticia flipped around the sign on the door to show that the Sage Dragon's Hearth was closed before returning to the Library where she and another version of Vahn had been lounging.Noticing Leticia's arrival, an affectionate smile developed across Vahn's face as he mused, "Welcome back." in a slightly teasing tone.Exhaling a helpless sigh through her nose, Leticia made her way over to Vahn before climbing onto his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, and asking, "Where were we...?" in her characteristically flat monotone.Setting aside the book he had been pretending to read, Vahn wrapped his hands around Leticia's waist as he answered, "I believe a certain naughty Maid was trying to seduce her Master...""Mmm...I see..."Tracing her finger along the line of Vahn's collarbone, Leticia maintained a remarkably calm look on her face as she licked her lips, turned her ruby-red eyes up at him, and said, "Be seduced..." in a flat, ostensibly commanding tone of voice.Chuckling in amusement, Vahn's hands phased through Leticia's dress as if it were a projection as he said, "You're good at this...". Then, resuming where they had left off, he began kissing the petite Vampire until her body gradually inflated into that of a mature beauty. This was another parallel she shared with Eva, and, the first time he learned of it, Vahn couldn't help wondering if the creators of the Akamatsuverse and the Transcendental Path to Heaven were familiar with each other........."Tell me. Is there ever a moment when you aren't making out or playing around with someone...?"With Shiroyasha seated in his lap, Vahn adopted a sagely look on his face as he answered, "When I sleep?"Despite snorting through her nose, Shiroyasha didn't stop Vahn from caressing her stomach. It was a very pleasant sensation, and, if she had to choose between this and pretending to be serious, she would always choose the former."Are you going to let Black Rabbit do the summoning alone? It's supposed to take place in less than an hour..."Issuing a light hum in response, Vahn appeared to consider Shiroyasha's words before asking, "Do you think that would be wise? If they are half as troublesome as you presented them to be, things might become complicated if I interact with them too soon. Would it not be better to let them join the No Names before introducing myself?"Nodding her head, Shiroyasha answered, "Probably. However, what will you do if they try to tease or hit on Black Rabbit? That girl has mellowed out quite a bit ever since you got together but she is still rather high-strung. The birth of Usalia's kittens didn't help...""Right..."Releasing Shiroyasha from his embrace, Vahn motioned to rise as the petite demoness adopted an accusatory pout and said, "I didn't mean this version of you should go..."Restraining the urge to extend his hand and caress her hair, Vahn maintained a casual smile as he said, "Come on over to the workshop. I'll be preparing lunch in a few minutes. You're welcome to join us."Exhaling a sigh, Shiroyasha's expression melted into a look of helplessness as she saved him off, saying, "Yeah, yeah. I'll be there. Just go..."Nodding his head, Vahn was prepared to teleport away when Shiroyasha added, "And Vahn..."Turning back, Vahn raised his brows in response to Shiroyasha's uncharacteristically serious look as she said, "Try not to break them..."Responding with an amused chuckle, Vahn gestured a casual farewell before musing, "That depends on them, doesn't it~?"Without waiting for Shiroyasha's response, Vahn promptly departed the Thousand Eyes Community store. This left the petite demoness exhaling a sigh, but, almost immediately thereafter, an amused smile developed across her face as she remarked, "This should be interesting..."......Having spent the last three years preparing for this day, Black Rabbit was feeling nervous as she paced around in front of Jin.Though his appearance hadn't changed much, the present-day Jin gave off a markedly more confident aura as he maintained a relaxed smile and said, "Black Rabbit. Please, calm yourself. I'm sure everything will work out. Even if we can't convince them to join us, I'm positive we will be able to manage something on our own. We're not the helpless children we used to be."With her ears drooping in response to Jin's words, Black Rabbit replied, "I know. I just can't help feeling nervous. I mean, today is the day everyone has been waiting for. How can you stay calm?"Repeating the words Vahn had quite literally beaten into his head, Jin answered, "A capable Leader must appear calm under any circumstances. Truth be told, I'm just as nervous as you are. I just keep it hidden."Feeling marginally more at ease now that she knew Jin was also nervous, a smile developed across Black Rabbit's face as she shifted her attention to Lily and inquired, "What about you, Lily? Are you also feeling nervous?""Hmmm~?"Tilting her head to the side, Lily maintained her usual smile as she asked, "Why would I be nervous? Even if things don't work out today, I'm confident we'll be okay. I believe in Vahn and the hard work everyone has put in these last six months."Punctuating her words, Lily's smile became even more radiantly as the trio of tails behind her body twitched playfully. With the singular exception of Black Rabbit, she was now the strongest member of the No Names. She had no intention of participating in any Gift Games, but, if it was for the sake of her Community, she would do everything in her power to protect them.Exhaling a sigh, Black Rabbit found herself wishing she could be half as mature as Lily. Fortunately, the latter, while remarkably fond of Vahn, showed surprisingly little interest in him as a member of the opposite sex. Rather, she even viewed Seraphina and Usalia, people who were much older than she was, as children who needed to be looked after. It was a very strange phenomenon. Almost as if she possessed an Innate related to maternal instincts..."Having fun?""Waaaaah!?"Despite recognizing the voice in an instant, Black Rabbit was so startled that she nearly jumped into the ceiling. Fortunately, Vahn managed to catch her with his telekinesis, a soft chuckle emanating from his throat as he pulled her toward him and said, "You appear to be nervous..."With her hair turning a vibrant shade of pink, Black Rabbit found herself wholly unable to respond to Vahn's words as he wrapped his arms around her body and gave her a gentle hug. This caused the ears atop Lily's head to twitch, her expression practically beaming as she pressed the tips of her fingers together and softly mused, "How cute~."Though Lily's remark made him feel a little exasperated, Jin did his best to maintain the facade of a capable leader as he cleared his throat and said, "Welcome, Vahn. It's good to see you."Returning a curt nod, Vahn ignored the slightly uncomfortable aura radiating from Jin's body as he asked, "How've you been, chibi? It's been a couple of days since I last stopped by. You haven't been slacking off, have you?"Paling quite a bit, cold sweat began to break out across Jin's body as he forced himself to continue smiling and said, "I would never..." in an honest yet slightly awkward tone. He never felt like he was doing enough to meet Vahn's expectations, as, every time he made any kind of progress, it was like the goal post had been moved exponentially further away...Adopting a slightly serious look, Vahn said, "I'll confirm it for myself later on. For now, what are your plans regarding the problem children? Have you considered how you're going to convince them?"No longer able to maintain his facade, Jin exhaled a defeated sigh before explaining, "I don't know anything about them so I planned to rendezvous with them at the Outer Gate before taking them to one of the Cafes run by the Six Scars Community. From what I have learned thus far, they come from relatively normal worlds that run parallel to one another. I'm hoping that the presence of cute Catgirls and other beast people will make them more receptive to discussion..."Stroking his non-existent beard, Vahn resisted the urge to mutter naruhodo as the Cafe in question appeared within his mind. He was a regular at quite a number of kemonomimi cafes so he was well acquainted with the Six Scars Community. After all, despite being located in the East Side, they were actually affiliated with the Draco Grief Alliance governing the South."Tell me...how did you learn about the cafe operated by the Six Scars Community?"Blinking in confusion, Jin shifted his gaze towards Black Rabbit. In response, the befuddled bunny tilted her head to the side, an adorable yet airheaded expression on her inordinately beautiful face as she naively replied, "Shiroyasha-sama recommended it...?"......(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Vahn is basically a Carrier-class Fluff Lord..','Lily is a good girl (UwU)...','The machinations of Shiroyasha never cease xD...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

After a very long discussion regarding who he was, where he came from, his association with the No Names, his relationship with Black Rabbit, and his intentions for the future, it was safe to say that Leticia was thoroughly perplexed. She understood everything he was saying, sure, but, after learning how short his stay in the Little Garden had been, it was difficult for her to accept how far close he and Black Rabbit had become.Having watched Black Rabbit grow up ever since they had rescued her from the destruction of her clan, Leticia was far more concerned about the last surviving Moon Rabbit than herself. As a result, she left Black Rabbit floundering, hair pink and hands covering her tomato-red face as she calmly inquired, "Have the two of you had sex?" in a delicate, nearly monotone voice.With Leticia's eyes shifting to him, Vahn's smile became somewhat wry as he joked, "Indeed. The last few days, in particular, have been quite enjoyable...""Vahn...!"Unamused by Vahn's antics, Leticia raised her hand to silence Black Rabbit as she furrowed her brows and asked, "Do you love her?" with a pale light glowing in the depths of her eyes.Without needing to consider his response, even for a moment, Vahn answered, "I do." in a firm, resolute tone.Though she had quite a number of additional questions, Leticia ultimately decided to save them for later. Instead, she simply nodded in approval, saying, "I suppose that's enough. Just try not to tease her too much. Her reactions might be adorable, but she has experienced great pain and suffering. It would be good if you could heal her heart rather than place additional burdens on her..."Returning a confident smile, Vahn's eyes shifted to meet Black Rabbit's as he said, "You don't have to worry about that. I intend to resolve Black Rabbit's burdens, not add to them. Also...I would never do anything she didn't want me to do..."Punctuating his words with a wink, Vahn prompted Black Rabbit to remember the 'requests' she had been making as of late. This caused illusory steam to rise from her head as she used her bright pink ears as an additional cover for her face."..."Seeing the interaction between the two, Leticia couldn't fathom had Vahn had managed to leave such a deep impression on the overly cautious bunny in such a short period of time. Black Rabbit was generally very shy, and, due to the number of licentious individuals targeting her, she typically avoided men older than their teens.Based on Vahn's words, Leticia could surmise that he and Black Rabbit had only known each other for a few days before progressing their relationship to a physical one. This made very little sense to her as Black Rabbit actually used to boast about her purity. It was difficult to imagine her falling for someone to the extent she was willing to have sex with them mere days after their first meeting.As that thought crossed her mind, Leticia stared directly at Vahn as if she were trying to see through him. She had to admit he was very handsome, but, compared to some of the Gods that had tried to claim Black Rabbit for themselves, his looks were only so-so. His most notable feature was the color of his eyes but even they weren't particularly rare within the Divine Realm...Noticing Leticia's unwavering and unblinking gaze, Vahn's smile became noticeably wry as he asked, "Is there something on my face...?"Instead of responding to Vahn's question immediately, Leticia continued to observe him for several seconds longer before directly inquiring, "How were you able to seduce Black Rabbit in such a short period of time?""Leticia-sama!? W-What are you asking~!?"Recalling that she was the one that kept egging Vahn on, Black Rabbit's already pink hair practically erupted into a glowing mass of hot pink. This earned her a curious glance from Leticia, but, unable to suppress her curiosity, she calmly asserted, "It just doesn't make sense. I understand that people can change in two years' time, but I can't imagine you falling for someone so quickly. There must be a reason."Answering in Black Rabbit's stead, Vahn left both girls at a loss for words as he asked, "Have you ever been in love, Leticia?""..."Hanging her head, a depressive atmosphere immediately exuded from Leticia's tiny frame as she softly replied, "Not in the way you are thinking...but yes, I have been in love..."Restraining his almost instinctual urge to apologize, Vahn's expression softened as he said, "Love is a peculiar thing. For some, it takes years to blossom. For others, a chance encounter is all it takes to fall madly in love with another. I was merely fortunate enough to be one of the people Black Rabbit was willing to open her heart to."Detecting no falsehoods within Vahn's words, Leticia fell into a deep and contemplative silence. As for Black Rabbit, a remarkably tender smile had developed across her face. If it was just this, there wouldn't have been any issues. Unfortunately, spending upwards of eight hours every single day at Vahn's side had caused a perpetual flame to burn in her body. It only took a small amount of fuel to turn into a veritable bonfire, so, despite appearing relatively calm on the surface, even Leticia could feel the heat radiating from her body.Though she was briefly confused by Black Rabbit's reaction, it didn't take long for Leticia to realize what was going on. This caused a rare smile to develop across her face, but, at the same time, she couldn't help furrowing her brows as she softly mused, "It would appear my presence has become an inconvenience..."Blushing crimson in response to Leticia's words, Black Rabbit buried her face into her hands. She wanted to tell Leticia she was wrong, but, fearing she would cause some kind of misunderstanding, she just released a frustrated, "Wuuuuu..." sound as her mind worked to come up with the words to say.Amused by the duo's interaction, a light chuckle emanated from Vahn's throat as he teased, "You're underestimating me..." before spontaneously splitting into two. This earned him a curious look from Leticia, not because it was particularly difficult to create copies of oneself, but because there was no way to distinguish between them...Despite feeling more embarrassed than ever before, Black Rabbit offered virtually no resistance as Vahn guided her to her feet and escorted her from the room. This left a version of him alone with Leticia, who, despite the awkward tensions, appeared wholly unaffected as she blindsided Vahn by asking, "Are you going to seduce me next? I didn't want to discuss it in front of Black Rabbit, but I can detect the pheromones of several other women lingering in this place. Does she know about your relationships with other women?"As he had nothing to hide, Vahn didn't hesitate to nod his head, explaining, "I informed her about my harem on the first day we met. I've never been fond of concealing things from the people I care about. Black Rabbit has suffered too much to have someone deceive her."Nodding her head in approval, Leticia was about to say something when Vahn interrupted, adding, "That goes for you as well. This might be our first meeting, but I know quite a bit about you due to my association and relationship with Shiroyasha. She-"Before Vahn could finish speaking, the person in question appeared out of thin air, saying, "Hey, now. That's confidential information you're about to share. I don't mind you revealing your own secrets, but it would cause a number of issues if you went around advertising the matters we've discussed. There will be a time and place for such revelations. Now is neither."Though Vahn had grown accustomed to Shiroyasha's sudden appearances, Leticia was genuinely surprised by the aforementioned demon's spontaneous manifestation. Vahn's words were also at the forefront of her mind, so, with a slightly incredulous look on her face, she asked, "Are the two of you lovers...?"Despite the characteristic smile on her face, Shiroyasha's eyes reflected severity as she said, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't..."Blinking several times in surprise, innumerable questions appeared in Leticia's mind, but, as one of the people who had chosen Shiroyasha for her current position as Floor Master, she knew the loli's circumstances better than anyone else. Thus, after a very brief moment of consideration, she simply nodded her head before looking at Vahn as if he were even more monstrous than he had revealed himself to be. She had taken his words with a grain of salt previously, but, now that she knew about his relationship with Shiroyasha...that changed everything...Approving of Leticia's reaction, Shiroyasha's expression regaining its usual mischievousness as she crossed her arms and mused, "Since I'm here, I might as well let you in on a secret or two. They're both Vahn's so it's only a matter of time before you learned about them yourself."Though his attention had briefly shifted to the Law of Identity's explanation regarding Shiroyasha's behavior, Vahn's smile became wry when he heard the petite demoness's words, saying, "So you're allowed to reveal my secrets but I can't talk about yours...?"Without any shame whatsoever, Shiroyasha cheekily replied, "Of course. You're the one who said you didn't have any secrets. The only difference between hearing it from me and hearing it from you is that she won't be blindsided by your, ahem, 'thoughtfulness'."Adopting a deadpan expression, Vahn was tempted to retort, but, understanding the futility of such action, he just gestured for Shiroyasha to continue. She wouldn't do anything to compromise any of his future plans. Rather, she was secretly supporting most of them. Thus, even if she did reveal a few of his secrets, she likely had their shared interests in mind.Amused by Vahn's quick acquiescence, a playful twinkle appeared in Shiroyasha's cat-like eyes as she looked directly at Leticia and stated, "I'll tell you something similar to what I told Black Rabbit. Vahn can basically transform himself and others into virtually any race. In other words, he can help to rebuild your population by converting worthy individuals into Pure-Blooded Vampires. Of course, the far more 'prudent' approach would be to rebuild from scratch..."Like the pieces of a puzzle, most of the questions Leticia had regarding Vahn's and Black Rabbit's relationship spontaneously fell into place. Black Rabbit had always been under a lot of pressure as the sole surviving member of her race, so, if Vahn truly possessed such an ability, it was only natural that she does her best to 'secure' the future of her species.As the Princess of the Vampire Race and one of only surviving members of her species, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that Leticia was in a similar boat to Black Rabbit. Unfortunately, even if she did have the heart to try and revive her race, every surviving Shinso Vampire was female. She was also the reason the reputation of Pure-Blooded Vampires had been dragged through the mud, so, even if she could have children, they would forever be burdened with the stigma she had wrought upon her entire race...Just as Leticia was about to refute Shiroyasha's words, the latter dropped a veritable bombshell on her, saying, "Your younger sister is still alive. Also, Canaria would have wanted you to do everything in your power to move forward. You can't keep living in the past, Leticia. I'm not saying you need to rush things, but you shouldn't keep beating yourself up over circumstances beyond your control..."Ignoring everything else Shiroyasha had said, Leticia tentatively inquired, "Lamia is still alive?" in an understandably shaky tone of voice.Nodding her head, Shiroyasha shifted Leticia's focus back to Vahn, smiling as she said, "I can't tell you more, but this big lug can undoubtedly uncover her location. Now might not be the best time to go searching, but it won't be long before an opportunity presents itself. Rather, given this idiot's personality, it's only a matter of time before he reunites you with your sister. He has a soft spot for women with tragic backstories. If you don't take the initiative, your sister might end up being eaten by him before you know it. Ufufufufufufu~."......(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Shameless...','RIP Black Rabbit.
