Vahn awoke after four hours of rest and turned to see that Evangeline was still at her desk and translating books. After stretching a bit, Vahn asked with a yawn, "Do you not sleep?" Evangeline’s pen stopped moving as she looked over at him with cold eyes and said, "What, did you expect me to sleep in the same bed that you occupy? I’m not one of your little girlfriends in the outside world." Rubbing his head to alleviate the awkwardness, Vahn couldn’t help but frown a bit as he said, "I wasn’t…-

After tending to Anubis, Vahn didn’t have anything to do so he spent the next few hours meditating to try and comprehend the . Even now, he couldn’t make out any of the words, but he had the benefit of easily clearing his mind using , so he hoped to make progress on it one day. Eventually, though he didn’t particularly require sleep at the moment, Vahn decided to go to bed in preparation for the coming day.

Vahn awoke, this time without a headache, but still felt the presence of one since he was forcefully ejected from the space due to time constraints. Now, instead of the exorbitant amount of time, he thought he could spend in the space, had been reduced to around 420 days. Though it was still an incredible amount of time compared to normal, he didn’t believe that Evangeline would stand idly by as he continued to do his own thing. Remembering her begrudging look as he faded away, Vahn expected that their…

It was still the middle of the afternoon, so after Vahn pet her ears for a few moments, Anubis left looking reminiscent of how Vahn arrived. She seemed to be happy and looking forward to the future, and Vahn couldn’t help but smile as he watched her leave. The golden ribbon around her tail stood out from the rest of her outfit, and Vahn couldn’t help but let his eyes be drawn to it as she walked away. Shaking his head, Vahn left the corridor and headed toward his own bedroom to get everything ready to…

After everything had settled down, Vahn, Hephaestus, and Eina had moved their conversation to the couch, which was the only place where all three could sit. Vahn ended up flanked by the two women, one mortal half-elf and one immortal goddess. Though they weren’t married yet, they were now all engaged to each other and Vahn felt an uncontainable jubilation in his heart. His excitement affected Hephaestus as well, which caused Eina to be a bit frustrated so she asked, "Hephaestus-sama, why are you so…

When the two entered into Hephaestus’s workshop, they were immediately identified by Zaff who sent a very professional looking woman to inform Hephaestus. Zaff, seeing Eina and Vahn holding hands, couldn’t help but ask, "You’re a pretty bold one, to be bringing a girl to the house of the woman you’re trying to court." Though Vahn could see that Zaff was joking with him, he was also aware of the serious glint in Zaff’s eyes. Since Vahn had already found his resolve outside, he said in a…

Eina stared at the ring Vahn had presented her with a mixture of emotions that were hard to describe. She felt both happy, sad, concerned and excited, all at the same time. Each emotion seemed to compete for first place in her heart as she stared in abject shock at the ring in Vahn’s hand. Though she asked him to marry her, she never expected him to already have a ring prepared. Now, the reality of the situation hit her like a ton of bricks as she hesitantly reached out her hand. Vahn saw her…

Eina began forming her own interpretation of the events that had transpired around Vahn, and she wasn’t that far from the truth. Recalling all the things he had explained, she realized there was something that he had left out which contradicted almost everything else he had done. She could feel her heart rate increase a bit as she asked, "Why did you decide to pursue me, Vahn? All of your other relationsh.i.p.s with women seemed to have happened due to circ.u.mstance, but you’ve acted strangely toward…

Vahn arrived at the rendezvous point and still had more than two-and-a-half hours until they were supposed to meet. Sitting on the edge of the fountain where they were supposed to meet, Vahn was enjoying the cool morning air on his skin while slowly absorbing the rays of the sun which had just begun to crest over the houses and walls surrounding the City. Sunrise had only been around an hour ago, and there was a gentle mist in the air that made the atmosphere feel calm and quiet. While he was waiting,…

Satisfied after helping Anubis, Vahn affectionately stroked the goddesses’ ears for a bit before leaving the room. The entire time he had done so, she was completely unresponsive as she drew shallow and steady breathes whilst asleep. After leaving her room, Vahn made his way to the kitchen to make some breakfast for himself. He had to pass through the dining room on the way and found Rasui and Nour sitting at the table while reading books. When they saw him enter, both boys jumped to their feet and…
