The outskirts of the city at night.

Josh and Ahri sat by the trickling stream, neither of them speaking, just staring at the stars in the sky.

Two people who had a good relationship, the atmosphere when they got along at the moment was a little delicate.

Since Josh crossed over and met Ahri, they have spent no more than a week together.

Although Josh does like Ahri, as Lunicia said before, Ahri at this stage is very innocent and naïve, and does not understand the feelings between men and women.

He didn't want to take advantage of Ahri, and was ready to slowly develop his relationship with her.

But Josh didn't expect that the secret relationship between herself and Ahri in private was actually seen by her parents and the Vasani patriarch Kurt.

Josh's long-term plan is disrupted, and Ahri's parents and Elder Kurt directly puncture the thin veil between him and Ahri, asking him to be alone with Ahri and cultivate a relationship.

It's just that......

Out of the corner of his eye, Josh glanced at Ahri, who was sitting beside him, barely a man away, almost next to him.

Tonight, the stars are long, like gems inlaid in the night, showing the vastness of the universe.

Rendered by the colorful starlight, Ahri's beautiful face was reflected with a faint red glow, her tail was close together, covering her thighs, and her dexterous fox ears swaying from time to time, which made Josh's heart flutter.

What should I say......

Josh was in a quandary.

In fact, he is not good at emotion, but he is quite familiar with Ahri, and now she is relatively simple, so it is easy to get along with.

But now, with the intervention of "father-in-law and mother-in-law", Josh's rhythm has been completely messed up.

"Lunihia ......"

[Don't look for me, don't you dislike me for not being in love? I can't help. 】

Lunicia didn't want to talk to Josh at all, and fell silent after saying that, no matter how much Josh shouted.

Active...... Yes, it's come to this point, I should be proactive!

Just as Josh put aside his distractions and planned to regain control of the initiative and try to break this delicate atmosphere, Ahri preemptively spoke: "Josh......"

She whispered Josh's name, her beautiful eyes reflecting the starry sky blinked, still looking at the starry sky.

"Do you think the stars will have troubles?"

Ahri opened the conversation, and Josh answered: "Stars...... How to say that? In fact, like us, they have emotions and naturally have troubles. ”

Josh thought of the Star Spirits who claimed to be the Giant Gods, and the Star Casting Dragon King who had been imprisoned somewhere in the Astral Realm by wearing a crown by their intrigues......

Rather than saying that they are high "gods", it is more appropriate to describe them as emotionally rich "high-dimensional beings".

The star spirits also have contradictions and disputes with each other, and the star-casting dragon king, who can be called the "creator god", who created the stars and laid light for the universe, is even more arrogant and likes to enjoy the flattery of others.

Josh shook his head slightly, shook off the chaotic thoughts in his head, and asked with a side face, "Why did you ask about this?" ”

He hesitated, but reached out and touched Ahri's smooth, white, slightly cold little hand on the stone.

Seeing that she didn't resist in the slightest, Josh became bold and covered the back of her hand with a warm palm, and his fingers were slightly bent to support Ahri's slender fingers and interlock them with her.

Ahri lowered his eyes, his expression crawling over gloom, "I ......"

Biting her thin lip and being silent for a moment, Ahri raised her face and looked at Josh with tangled eyes, "Josh, you will dislike me for being a ...... Monsters? ”

The breeze in the night gradually rose, brushing the girl's soft hair, as if she had her own mind and intended to comfort the frustrated Ahri.

Josh couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Silly girl, why do you have this idea?" ”

"But!" Ahri suddenly became excited, and then her voice became quieter and quieter, and she fell into a loss along with her emotions, "Mom and Dad said that I would covet human emotions and feed on their spirits...... I was scared, afraid that one day I would lose control and ......"

Josh didn't give Ahri a chance to finish speaking, and the right hand, which was originally lightly clasped with her left hand, left, choosing to directly grab her willow waist.

Feeling the itchy feeling of the tail fluff floating in the wind from time to time and brushing the skin, Josh pushed a little harder and directly hugged Ahri into his arms.

The second intimate hug, but the meaning of the representation is very different from the last one.

"Aren't your mom and dad looking for a solution to this? Through me, through us, your questions...... No, it's our problem, it will definitely be solved. ”

Josh swore that "as long as I'm here, I won't let you get out of control." ”

Ahri sniffled, her body softened suddenly, and she couldn't help but stretch out her arms around Josh's waist and bury her little face in his shoulders, savoring this long-lost intimate embrace.

For a long time, Ahri and Josh parted a little, and their serious eyes met the young man's gaze.

The red glow spreads all over the face, and even the cherry pink on the inner edge of the ears looks even more ruddy.

Follow your heart, Ahri, and don't hesitate any longer!

As if he hesitated for a long time to strengthen his confidence, Ahri's moist lips opened slightly, as if she was shy, but she took the initiative to say softly: "Josh, you...... Like me? ”

There is no need to answer, actions speak for themselves.

Josh leaned down and touched Ahri's soft lips.

Ahri's eyes widened in surprise at first, and when Bei Tooth lost her defenses, her beautiful eyes gradually closed slightly, savoring the fervent love.

The gauzy white mist gently shrouds the kissing men and women under the starry sky, the grass is squirming, and the stars are twinkling, offering long-lasting blessings to young men and women.

Seeing this scene, Lunicia secretly smacked her tongue and said impatiently: [Sigh...... Boring, I want to see a river of blood! 】

……

……

Early the next morning, there was a knock on Josh's door.

Last night I was out with Ahri too late and sent her home, and Josh returned to the scholar's house, and it was almost midnight.

A sleepy-eyed Josh sat up from bed, exhausted and unconscious.

There was another hurried knock on the door, and Ryze's loud shout rang out outside the door: "Josh, you're a guest!" ”

Josh was slightly stunned and glanced at the bright sky outside the terrace, "Guest? ”

After quickly changing out of his pajamas and getting into his formal attire, Josh had just opened the door when a familiar face came into view.

"Zhendakaya?" Josh was surprised.

After the last time they met Callista in the plaza and talked to her, Jindakaya recognized Josh as she was passing, and the two had a brief exchange for the first time.

Josh had planned to go to the School of Geokinesis to visit the current leader of the Light Sentinels, but unfortunately, the undead of the Ten Thousand Wells chased and killed Ruiz, and then encountered the resurgence of the Dark Spawn Tarosh, and he never had time.

Today, Jindakaya actually came to the door in person.

"Hey, did you sleep well last night?" Zhendakaya took the initiative to say hello, but then a mischievous expression appeared on his face, "I heard Vasani's friend say that you are with their Ahri?" ”

Josh glanced at Ruiz, who was standing behind Zhendakaya, with the same look of surprise and curiosity, and withdrew his gaze and nodded.

"Hmm...... Just established the relationship. He admitted directly.

"Haha, that's good for you." Zhendakaya covered his mouth and chuckled, not shying away from the problems between men and women, "The physical fitness of the Vastaya people is much stronger than that of humans, and when you have held a vow ceremony, be careful of your body overdraft~~"

"It's too early to say that, right?"

Josh shook his head helplessly, choosing to skip the topic: "I see it's still early...... Is there something wrong with you looking for me? ”

When talking about business, Zhendakaya instantly restrained his smile and his expression became serious.

"Speaking of which, it's Archbishop Marcusa who asked me, but you know that the Sentinels of Light are seriously short of manpower, and I need help."

"Margusa?" Josh pondered, "You mean the undead of the Ten Thousand Wells?" ”
