The following morning, Lone had promptly asked for Soph to help him with something. Of course, she was more than willing to offer him her aid. What he wanted her to do though left her feeling quite concerned. "A-Are you sure that you want me to hit them as hard as I can?" she asked with a clear sense of uncertainty in her voice. She and Lone were in the training yard of their little fort and in her hands were her twin short swords while Lone was only equipped with his bone gauntlets. Oddly…-

"First," Lone said as he took out a spare set of pyjamas for Sophie, "Some clothes?" Bobbing her head up and down, Sophie grabbed the blue button-up sleeved pyjama shirt and silk trousers combo. Carefully getting off of Lone and unwrapping herself from his fluffy tails, she began putting the clothes on. Meanwhile, Lone searched in his Dimensional Storage and grabbed a tank-top to wear since he was still shirtless. Once he had done that, he waited for Sophie to finish getting dressed. As soon as…

Sophie giggled softly and licked her lips. "Nothing." She crawled forwards like a lioness creeping towards its prey. She then got on top of Lone and firmly wrapped her legs around his waist before licking his cheek playfully. "Don't you love what you see? What you Lone felt several urges, one of which was to push the girl off of himself again, but she now had him trapped with her legs. Hed likely hurt her if he got forceful which hed rather avoid. His situation didn't improve when the very next…

Lone had realised his mistake fairly quickly when Sophie refused to stop hugging him. Hed just gotten swept up in the moment. For her, it seemed the moment had lasted a lot longer than it did for him. It took a lot of coaxing and a fair amount of bribing with his tails as the prize, for her to accept that she could live while not literally being attached to him. Now slouching in the bathtub, Lone ran his fingers through his wet golden shoulder-length hair and took another look at his brand-new skill.…

As Lone was practising his swordspear forms all self-created, of course Sophie approached him. "Lone." "Hmm?" He finished the set of movements tied to his form and gave his undivided attention to the girl. His forms were pretty sloppy after all. Going into or out of them took no effort at all. Still, he had to work hard on them. There was no one around to teach how to use his perfectly suited weapon, after all. "Well..." Sophie tilted her head a bit as she scratched her cheek awkwardly and…

In an endlessly bright dimension filled with every colour imaginable except for black, a young girl no older than ten sat in the very centre of this dimension. This girl was Sophie and this was a time many centuries before she had been forcefully linked to Lone and then sent to an unfamiliar land. "Why can't I just die?" she asked herself for the billionth time. She never ate, but never starved, she could bleed, but never bleed out, she could refuse to breathe, but never suffocated. Sophie…

Still, she didnt start crying or even so much as make a sound. The last thing she wanted to do was alert any more groups of goblins. She sat on the grass next to Lone's burnt and broken body. He was groaning a lot which meant he was at least conscious this time. She wondered if that was even a good thing or not. Sophie snuck a glance at him and was damn-near jubilant to see that he was visibly healing. Slowly, his burnt-to-a-crisp black skin was flaking off to reveal red-raw but tender flesh.…

It was a hearty breakfast that was also doubling as lunch since they could be out in the forest for a while. "So... uh, I know you explained it a lot and, uh, y-you really do make a lot of sense but do we really need to go out there again?" Sophie asked timidly as she stabbed her fork through a sausage and began nibbling on it. Tasty Lone nodded his head before tucking into his own breakfast. "I know you're scared and I get that, but we really do need to do this. Avoiding the goblins will only get us…

"Mmm..." Sophie groggily opened her eyes and blinked several times once she noticed that another set of eyes were calmly watching her. "Lone... Lone! Lone! Lone!" she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and began sobbing. Unsure of what to do, Lone just returned Sophie's hug. "What's with the overreaction?" Sophie pulled away from Lone momentarily in shock before she dove face-first back into the nape of his neck. "You... You wouldn't wake up! It's been so long!" Sophie's cries filled…

Lone arose to no pain in his tails, which was a great sign for the day to come. He left their bedroom and then the fort. With a yawn, he put a hand to the dome that obscured them from view and chanted, Illusionary Dome. New life was pumped into it as Lone felt almost all of his MP get drained from him. He knitted his brow a bit but smiled when he saw a notification. If only Mental Pain Resistance levelled up, he muttered as he knocked the side of his skull with his knuckles. Eh? Whatll it take…
