As I extracted the small remnants of slime from the Cultivator in front of me, the pained expression on his face faded. With a few flickers of my remaining Foehn the slime was turo ash, and I slumped down, exhausted. Do least. Fuck that slime mohe golden-eyed bastard. Leaving bits of itself in these people so they were his sves… Drawing in a long, shuddering breath, I could finally rex a little, my Eye not seeing any further pieces of the monster around us, either flesh or bone.

  Daiyu, who was kneeling beside the corpse of the armless man, who had died rapidly after the e had perished, his injuries tainted with the spatial element and the slime within him bining to eat away at him fatally, stood, ing over to me, a solemn, thoughtful expression on her face.

  “Was he someone you knew?” I asked, and she nodded, dark eyes distant.

  “Yes, he was the Patriarountain Fa. They were on good terms with the Incorruptible Jade, and I went on our foolish, disastrous mission with many of the best of theirs. And… it seems I was the only survivor, despite my hopes.”

  “It is uandable to be sorrowful.” One of the saved Cultivators said. They had accepted the battle was over, and were grateful Shaeu and I mao save at least some of them with Chirurgery, though death came fast to many. Now seven were left, just seven. No, there’s also the few remaining Renyu, who are over there, their spirits broken. Oh, and that ese didate with Haru-san… I need an expnation on that too… I had ahough, sidering cheg the details oerritory, I could see she suddenly had a Throne of Heroes built.

  “And you would be?” I asked, and the man answered, casting a sideways look at Daiyu.

  “This useless old fool is Lin Ming, Patriarch of Diamond Mountain.” He said self-depregly. “Our Sect had a long history with Mountain Fang, our founder was said to have been deeply involved with Mountain Fang. Hence ere caught up in the purge, and subsequently taken by that monster. Not just ours, but others too. I am sain, Bck Jade.” He bowed to the sorrowful Daiyu. “You have suffered as much as any. But at least you did not fall to such a terrible fate as us. There is no salvation, is there?”

  “None.” I shook my head. “Those who died here, i civilians… I get that you were all coerced, but that doesn’t excuse… this.” I gestured with a weary arm to the ruin of Tsukuyomi-jinja, and the wider spiritual Kyoto. “There has to be justice.”

  “I uand.” The man said, and his fellow Cultivatreed. “At least our Dao remains, and we shall have a ce at reination, shameful though our rebirth is likely to be. It is more than my old friend shall have.” He looked at the armless, mostly dissolved corpse. “So, Bck Jade, now that you know all have perished, what shall you do?”

  She sighed, and as I waited for her answer, also wanting to know, she looked at me then, her dark eyes now serious, resolute. “What else I do? It is as I said, Akio.” She used my hout hesitation. “I ever allow the legacy of the Incorruptible Jade to end with me. No, I shall rebuild. In this fn nd. a… it was and always shall be the home of the Incorruptible Jade, but unless we grow strong, we shall never return to punish those who betrayed the fifteen hundred years of prote we offered. So… I shall seek new disciples, and teach all the ways and hidden knowledge. s, no holding back.”

  “Are you sure? Such talents are hard to find, even in a.” Lin Ming said gently. I think he’s pleased. I guess he too must hate the thought of his ow ending unremarked and unmourned…

  “True, but…” Daiyu looked at me then. “I would ask your help. I have seeential of those you have worked this Chirurgery on. It does not fit with any of the knowledge I have of the meridians, Dantians and more, but… with the knowledge of the Incorruptible Jade, passed down from Kunlun, I will aid you to learn, and then, I also request…” she trailed off, her face a little tense, and Lin Ming spoke up, earning a surprisingly wrathful gre from her.

  “A udable se. Then allow me to offer you what remains of our knowledge and treasures. Here.” He produced a strange-looking pte. “This is the Yin-Yang Karmic Desotion Measure Formation.”

  Formation, huh? That was one of the Six Noble Pursuits, right? At my expression, the man ughed.

  “I see. Yes, Bck Jade here would certainly have told you about Formation Ptes. It seems she trusts you well.”

  Daiyu’s expression only grew more angry and shame-faced. Shiro, who had dragged herself over, supported by Shaeu and Hyath, let out a ugh, which put Daiyu further on edge.

  “She’s mentio. So what does it do?”

  “Well, with yin and yang energy added, by two separate people…” he o a young woman, one of the few survivors. “… well, we had help from him.” He looked at the grief-stri Renyu, who was nearly catatonic, grieving at the likely knowledge all his kin were dead, devoured, and their sins had been for naught. “… but, while I believe it was inally intended for Dao panions to measure the nearness of their Tributions, now it be used to sehe level of… well, potential camity, Heavenly distortion, in an area.”

  Tributions? I haven’t read many Cultivation novels, just a couple of the big ones… but they’re a thing then? Ugh, Cultivation seems a really hard path. But I wonder how that squares with the Astral… “So, what’s the situatiohen?” I asked.

  “You should try it.” Daiyu spoke up. “Yht element, as you called it. It is not pure yang, but it should suffice, with my guidance, as I use yang for my own teiques, troublesome as it is firl to raise.”

  The old Patriarodded, and soon I was at the pte, Daiyu whispering guidao me. As the light energy I had remaining flowed out, it was stra was as if I could see the portents for doom around us, and the tiny stones around the edge of the pte were almost entirely lit up “Yeah, it’s… grim. Well, the ether density around here has been rising steadily sihe battle started, if irregurly… wait, is that it? Ixitt!” I shouted, releasing the pte suddenly.

  “Yes, what is it?” he rushed over, tail shing happily. Most of the wreckage of the attag vehicles and ons had returo the Material, but even so, he had been s through the battlefield happily, looking for treasures.

  “I think the fraying Boundary here is leading to an ever-increasiher density. I don’t know if it’ll help but…” as expined, his eyes lit up.

  “Of course! Tears caused by too much pressure, power, spatial element.” Ixitt rapidly realised what I was talking about. “It spreads from here to the lower Astral, and then…” he made a rippiure. “Colpse. Even a localised one would prove disastrous, and the pressure would spread quickly, like those experiments with s and air pressure. Your pn is a stopgap, but I will think on more perma measures.”

  “Great, s all the Artificial Ether Spires you . We’ll get as many green and blue Etherites via trade, begging to borrow those from Shaeu’s father, whatever… we keep the density down and buy us some time…”

  “While profiting too, of course.” He chortled.

  “Of course. It’s a that worries me more though. If that golden-eyed shit is doing the same there… ugh, we o speed things up. We have to be ready. ime… well, if we had to face his full power, I’m guessing we’d be dead by now.”

  “I shall entrust the pte to you, Bck Jade.” The Patriarch took it from his disciple and gave it to Daiyu. “As well as the few items we have left. And should we be allowed time before our deaths, all our hidden knowledge. Perhaps… perhaps you could name one of your halls Diamond Mountain, in time, so we are not fotten?”

  “I have a name. I am Zhao Daiyu, not merely Bck Jade.” She sniffed. “As for my halls, I currently have none, but I shall. And perhaps… I be generous. But you interrupted me. I was about to ask…” her face ink, and she looked like any young girl right now. “Akio, my Invincible Jade Yang Foundation Teique is precious, and I will teach it to all, but… I desire the Spiritually Pure Body. I uand the spirit water you have is extraordinarily rare and valuable. But… if I am to rebuild the Incorruptible Jade, I will need all the advantages I get. I… I pay a fair price. I also… yang energy…” her usual fidence was gone, her words mumbled, impossible even for me to hear all of them.

  “Oho, really?” Shiro smiled nastily. “I guess I wasn’t far off the mark then, was I?”

  Daiyu went scarlet. The Patriarch ughed heartily, though he looked impressed. “Spirit water? Such a treasure. I see why you would desire it. Surely a prodigy such as yourself could break through to Accumution realm, heights that have not been seen in many years. As for yang energy… well, Patriarch Zhao might weep, but Cultivators must Cultivate, no matter the cost.”

  Well, there are many I want to give High Moonlight Spirit Water to, and she has others ahead of her in the queue, but if it has added bes for her, then I sider…

  “A rather iing turn of events.” Shaeu chuckled. “Well, I do not-not hate this, but…” she left Shiro in Hyath’s care, before whispering quietly in Daiyu’s ear, though her gaze was on me, a slight smile showing she knew I could hear. “The first-first wife believes that sex fain is mere-mere prostitution. I have… other views, I fess, but I have agreed to support Eri as she mahings. So if you wish-wish to receive, then you must give. As a female, your heart is the only price worth paying, is it not-not?”

  I imagined I could see steam ing from Daiyu’s ears, her usual cool demeanour entirely gone. Before she could answer, Shiro spoke up. “Well, I’ve read a few Dual Cultivation books. Don’t judge me Aki, I know you like lewd stories, everybody does. Hell, Aimi loves her BL, doesn’t she? I’m kind of pissed ht now, but… well, what does it matter at this point?” she turo the scarlet Daiyu. “So, you think you want him for a Dao panion or something? I mean, I get it. But isn’t that like… an unbreakable itment?”

  “I… I… I am Zhao Daiyu! I hate the name, but I am Bck Jade the Ever Beautiful. I am the new Matriarch of the Incorruptible Jade, Peak Foundation Realm, or soon enough.” Her flush was fading, her fideurning. “I desire power. Not just Accumution, but Perfe, Golden Core, more. I never sidered my Dao panion, that is usually a choice for when I am older, but… I see destiny in this, the unseen hand of the Heavens.” She looked at me then. “I will teach you the ways of Cultivation, Akio. And I will teaew disciples. Many will likely e from the ranks you have cultivated. So… if I expect them to obey properly, I need authority. And if I am to Cultivate yang, well… yht, it is brilliant. I remember it when you struck down the foul creature just now… and if I am to Cultivate with you… I… well, my pride, my Dao, it will not allow ahan panionship.”

  “gratutions.” Lin Ming decred. “Finding a Dao panion is one of the great events of your life. I envy you. I never found mine. Luo Jiahao did.” He looked at the corpse sadly. “So when she was taken from him, their children too… he went mad. In the end, he did what he could to prevent the worst atrocities though. So do not remember him with hate, but with sorrow.”

  “I… well, he has not accepted yet.” Daiyu said, and I realised there was no shying away from it. She’s beautiful, she sure is. She’s like a bck orchid, elegant, cold and slender. But…

  “I barely know you. We’ve spent a few days together. I’m not going to say something foolish like I already have a number of wives as you already know that, but it sounds to me like Dao panions aren’t just lovers, husbands, but somethiral to your Cultivation. Should you decide so hastily?”

  “Would you mistreat me then?” she snorted. “From what I have observed, from listening to those who surround you, I do not think you would.”

  “No, but… I have many demands on my time. You’d find yourself quite lonely, I believe…”

  Shiro and Shaeu were both ughing now, and Hyath was watg with deep i. Shaeraggo was scowling balefully, and I knew why, but I decided to ignore him.

  “Well, I would have long periods of Closed Cultivation. It is seldom necessary at Qi Refining and Foundation, and perhaps not even at Accumution… but if one seeks Perfe or more, then it is iable. I would not be greedy. I would be happy with what you spare. Besides…” she smiled radiantly, and I ged my mind. Not an orchid. A bck rose. Elegant, cold, yet with heart. “My Patriarch, poor father… he allowed me to peruse all the Sect secrets. Our Dual Cultivation Teique is desded from one of the true Five Great Sects of lost, separated Kunlun. When you feel your yin energies surge, your strength grow, I suspect you will wish to spend much of your time with me!”

  “Hey, I won’t let you monopolise Aki, I haven’t even had my first time yet…” Shiro pouted. “Though… you think that if Aki learns your Teique, he Dual Cultivate with us? We be badass Cultivators too, hurling lightning and…”

  “I already use-use lightning…” Shaeu ughed. “But I am-am intrigued. We must talk about this further.”

  “Hey, isn’t anyone going to ask me my opinion?” I asked, and Daiyu suddenly did something shog.

  “Do… do you not like me? Am I not cute enough, have I not offered my virgin body, untouched, unseen by any man? Is not my offer to dedicate my heart and my Dao enough? My Sed my secrets too?” Crystal tears glimmered, though I could tell they were rgely fake, squeezed out in a fairly det imitation of my sister begging for things. Who taught her that? Or did she observe it? She’s quite an observant girl for sure…

  “No, you’re very cute, and well, it isn’t like I care about your virginity or anything… but, well I like your dedication, your drive. But if I take you, that’s a lifelong itment, isn’t it? I ’t do that easily…”

  “Seriously Aki, seven ht, what does it matter? Well, that Kana girl is going to crack sooner or ter, so we’ll call it nine…”

  “What about Moira? Besides, you fet Tsukiko, do you not-not? Was not her dying kiss a decration of i?” Shaeu piped up, and the bck-haired elf who had e to aid us now the situation was resolved, snorted, arms folded.

  “I have no i in marriage, I am here because great-grandfather ordered me to be, though I fess, pnning how to take back lost Samandrastrae is certainly fulfilling. I am sure one of the other two would be more than happy to…” as everyone bickered, I looked at Daiyu, really looked at her. There’s no point being shy about things at this stage. If I did want more wives, the girls have said they don’t mind so long as it’s someohey get on with. I have no iion of just gleefully grabbing every girl I though. Really, I respect her, a girl all alone in the world, so determined, so aware of what she wants from the future.

  “That was cute Daiyu, but I see you are dying inside.” I remarked, and she nodded, wiping her fake tears, skin pink again, even down her ned ears.

  “Yes, it is not who I am. Jade is cold, posed.” She admitted.

  “But…” I reached out, ruffling her hair. “… it’s also beautiful. Seriously, you sure you won’t regret this?”

  “What is tret? I should be dead. I am not. I should have no hope of returning my sect to glory, like a phoenix from the ashes. Now I do. I should have no dream of vengeance against those who betrayed us. Look around, at what you have aplished here. I believe you will win. I… I would not have found a patible man I could Cultivate with. You are perfe that regard. And… well, if I am to give my body, I would also wish to give my heart and Dao with it. Zhao Daiyu is a prideful girl.” Her smile was now genuine. “Love… well, I do barely know you, but… you are kind, and loyal to those you cherish, and I felt that since I have nothi but myself, I would entrust that self to one who would treasure me. You would treasure me, right?”

  “Do you think you get along with the irls?” I asked, and she snorted, amused.

  “Evading the subject? Well, I know the answer. Of course, I am not so crass as to demand special treatment. I have been the dynamics around you carefully, I am not such a fool to trust blindly. But I did swear to obey you, and I always keep my word, my Dao demands no less. I would… prefer… to serve as a wife, not a sve. I may be a fox borrowing the tiger’s… no, the dragon’s authority, in terms of my vengeance, but I am pragmatic. Besides, when one bees a Dao panion and Cultivates together, I am told it is near impossible for oo find their hearts unmoved.” Her flush deepened, and she trembled a little. She’s nervous. Of course she is. She’s deg her life, throwing it in with a man she barely knows. But… there were no doubts in her eyes. Well shit. There are only bes, really. And we need more power, whatever the price. And this price… well, I guess I’m happy to pay it. She’s cute and strong, and has knowledge we need. All she’s asking for is love, and… I have that to spare.

  “I see-see!” Shaeu said excitedly. “That sounds like the Fae merging of lunar chakras. When I did-did that with Akio the first time, it was sublime!”

  “I see.” Daiyu was ied. “I would hear more about this…” and they were suddenly chatting without a care. Bemused, not having given her my answer, Hyath grabbed my arm, pulling it into the valley between her breasts.

  “Poooooor Akio, all left ignored. Well, Hyath still listens to yooou!” she giggled, and Shiro also soled me.

  “Yeah, I get it. Talk about Teiques and stuff like that is always cool. So, you never did answer her properly? You’re taking her, right? She’s a hundred pert in your strike zone. Young, beautiful and troubled. That’s like the trifecta for yht? Plus I’ll be ho, I really want to try Dual Cultivation, but I haven’t even had my normal first time yet. Well, screw that. Yasu is going to be even more pissed off when he hears you’ve bagged another cutie!”

  “Uh, Didn’t you say it pisses you off?” I asked. “Oh, and what’s with all the Yasu-san tormenting?”

  “I’m determio mock Yasu until I graduate from being a virgin loser like him. Then I’ll be a mature woman, so I’ll have to be gracious in my victory, right Aki?” her smile was mog. “As for whether it pisses me off… you know what, it actually doesn’t much. I’m even surprised myself, but I guess I’m just fident that when I’m healed, I’ll be your number one. I am stunning, right, and I have an advantage in that we’ve known each other for years, and we have the same tastes and hobbies. I guess all of us think we’ll be the one you love most. But here’s a free tip. Never break that illusion.” Hyath was nodding, her expression serious.

  “I mean it Aki.” She warned. “Hell, even if you had dozens of girls, so long as you show everyone your love it’s fine, but the minute you start pying obvious favourites, shatter that dream, then you’ll regret it. Shit, I ’t believe I’m encing you when you are adding another rival for me. Maybe the allure of learning Cultivation is just to?”

  I hear you. We o be stronger. We won here, but while we outcssed most of the enemy didates, these were beaten, exiled losers. And as for the e… it was a true monster. If it was faster aer able to attack, we’d have lost…

  I gestured to Bintara, who was healing some of the remaining injured. She strode over, one horn missing. On seeing the dire of my gaze, she grimaced. “It will grow back. In a month or two I shall be as good as new. For now though, I am rather weakened, so be swift, I wish to retire.”

  “Shiro, your wounds… I think that with Bintara’s help and your buffs, I fix them within a week.”

  “A week? seriously?” she paused. “Shit, Aki, you aren’t messing with me? Well, at least you’ve listeo this princess, because saying that made my heart skip a beat, and I don’t eve’s an illusiht now.”

  I smiled. I was utterly exhausted, and grieved for the dead, but ulled off a victory, and the reassuri of the tented soul light of Tsukiko-san h around me roof that I’d mao, if not keep my promise to the letter, keep it in spirit. “Yeah. Your buff pushed me past the wall on Chirurgery aher Healing, and since I had almost made the realisation myself, I mao retain the knowledge, even advance myself.” I wove a little wind around the three of us. I wao make sure nobody overheard.

  Your skill, Ether Healing has increased from Rank 7 to Rank 8 and has reached the sed wall. You achieve eveer feats with higher quality ether, and your aether wheo heal will noticeably strengthen all resistances of the target, and your aether has a limited capacity to i with adherence. All your resistances increase further, and your automatic recovery is noticeably faster and stronger. Your abilities to repaterial and spiritual flesh is greatly increased.

  Your skill, Aetheric Chirurgeon has increased from Rank 8 to Rank 9 and has crossed the sed wall, reag the third pinnacle. Your uanding of adherence greatly increased and your ability to affed extract harmful and beneficial adherences within the body has also increased greatly. Adherence you gee is slightly increased, and adherence spent is slightly decreased. [Css: Imperious] [Type: Principle]

  “Better still, I momentarily reached Rank 10 when you focused on my Chirurgery with your buffs. Though the knowledge, the feelings, they were to and strange for me to grasp yet. But… I take out the adherence poisoning your wounds now. It’ll be tricky work, but I do it. Besides, I he adherence.” I grinned sourly, as the two Divine Favours were stantly draining my meagre stocks. “Without more, I won’t be able to pass these on.”

  “Well, way to make the rest of us look bad with more power-ups, Aki. But in these circumstances, I hardly be pissed off. you help Eri now?” she asked, kissing me softly on the cheek, then the lips, while Hyath tio g to my arm, a happy sensation.

  “A little maybe, but sadly Eri’s body isn’t damaged, it’s just… in flux. I probably ease her symptoms a little though.” I shook my head.

  “Well, I guess that means more time for Shirohime!” she pounded her chest happily. “So, question. Just… just how did you kill that thing? Our attacks were pretty useless against it, damn spatial element. That’s why Arisu is so dangerous in her Room. Spatial element is nasty. We o learn it!”

  “No kidding.” I ughed. I was still shielding us within the bubble of wind, better safe than sorry. “Well, it only seemed to fear spatial, which we couldn’t win with.” I looked down at Cutting Twilight sadly, the bde chipped, nicked and cracked. “The only other attacks that really bothered it were Tan’s fmes and my Foehn. Foehn eat spatial element, though alo wasn’t strong enough to win, as the spatial element then regeed, thwarting the Foehn.”

  “Yeah, Tan was having the same issue.” Shiro said, her body trembling with current and remembered exhaustion. “She could damage it, burning through, but before the fires could do much to the freak, it swallowed them up.”

  “That’s why I thought a double whammy would win. I’d hit it hard with Tan’s fmes boosted by all the power Prominence Dusk could add, and then it’d be momentarily open. I figured a boosted Foehn nding in that brief interval before the spatial element could return would start to e it, so that it couldn’t recover.”

  “But you ged the ooorder, did you not, Akio?” Hyath remarked shrewdly.

  “I sure did. When I loaded Foehn into Prominence Dawn and saw what I had, I knew we had a good shot.”

  “Don’t keep us in suspense Aki, tell us, tell us.” Shiro preened cutely, even more affeate now true hope of being healed had been offered to her.

  “Well, it seems that light bines with fire to create radiance.” I said, and Shiro looked puzzled.

  “Radiahat’s just light…”

  “You’d think, but it’s not. What radiance is, is the ability for what is not light to act as light. So when I saw that, I khe e bastard was done.” I remembered my shock.

  “Act as light?” Shiro said, before w it out, Hyath appudihe motions pulliighter into her embrace. “Oh I get it. So, it was essentially a light of Foehn, rather than a fme?”

  “Yeah. And fortunately, the bastard was see-through. So essentially it was entirely exposed to Foehn all at oripping away and dev all the spatial element. The it with the very hungry fmes of Tan, enhanced further, and well… our e was done. Without that turn of events, I think we could still have won, but it would have been much harder t down with bined Foehn and Fmes of Thirst.”

  “I see. Well…” Shiro was interrupted by Haru-san, who had brought over her ese didate.

  “Sorry to bother you…” she said softly. “But we o talk. About her. And what es after.” The didate shrank under my gaze.

  “Fine, I guess we do o take stock.” I agreed.

  ********

  “So, you have her as a Chosen Hero. I see the point of that. Well thought out, Shaeu.” She puffed up at my praise, grinning. “You too Haru-san. That’s a precious asset saved. But we’ll still o sider… punishment.”

  The woman shuddered, biting her lip, but she said nothing.

  “Well then.” Moira listed off the gains. “This girl here…” she poio Shiro. “.. now has gained Anesidora’s favour. And her… tractor…” that was quite the way to describe Tan. “… has obtaihree of fmes. You trol two, Akio, one of a thief god, and a god of the earth. Then we have this girl here with the barriers, and you believe that we shall have custody of one more, the one who move people between here and the mortal realm.”

  Summed up like that, it was quite the haul. A shame it cost us dearly. Esu-san was dead, as was a girl from the old ral shrine fa. Tsukiko-san had died, but her soul was safe. If we wanted her to walk the Material after her rebirth, we’d need a Throhough that wasn’t insurmountable. Many ratkin, weaselkin and other Fae had died. A number were within the scope of Kioration, but there were still those that weren’t, and those that had been devoured, spirit and all. Over Kyoto as a whole, many shrines had beeroyed and kami sin, it was mere fortuhat Kofuku Jizo and Prince Shōtoku survived, though their recouperation would be long, so they had been shipped bay Territory. Then there are the civilian casualties, plus whatever else I don’t know about ierial. I o get back soon.

  “I don’t just want to break down the ones we have. Ideally we need loyal didates. I’ll try everyone we know first, then move onto trusted third parties.” I sighed.

  “He’s pretty coht Arisu-?” Suzu whispered, bizarrely being trailed by a zombie in a rather fancy mini-skirt dress.

  “Do be quiet, Suzanne-san. This is not the time for idle chatter.” She said sternly, Bunta-san behind them, looking around anxiously.

  “Oh, I thank you all for ing to help.” I bowed before them. “I’d like to meet up and discuss pensation and cooperation, but it wait a week?”

  “A week?” she said suspiciously. “Why is that?” Her cold gre was intimidating. Yeah, I see why Shiro told me to beware of her temper, but she helped us out, so I’m already warmly disposed towards her.

  “Because in a week, Shiro will be healed, so we all o celebrate. We’ll throw a vish feast. Then we talk, when I’ve shown you I be trusted.”

  She looked at me, long and searg, before nodding. “Very well. But know I hate two things more than anything else. Cheats and liars.”

  “Uh, well, cut me some sy retionships. Everyone agreed to them. So it’s not cheating, right? I wouldn’t do that. As for lying, you’re a friend of Shiro’s, so you're my friend too. So, I hope when we meet, we bee friends in truth. You’ve seen this chaht? We o stick together, or we’ll die apart.”

  “So you say. e, Suzanne-san, Bunta-san, we are departing.” She imperiously opened up her Room, and they entered, Suzu waving cheerily at me.

  “All right then. Sorry about her, Aki, you’ll like her when you get to know her, I promise. Just… not too much, okay? Arisu as your wife would be hell for the rest of us, and you too!” Shiro sighed.

  “Fihen. Well, shall we this up? We’ve got things to do and pces to be…”

  ShipTeaser
