The scroll in front of Yuria catches fire and completely disappear from existence. Yuria giggles in pleasure as she had fairly enjoyed her last conversation with the God of Death. Yuria gets up from her chair and walks out of her bedroom.

Yuria is met with a faithful servant bowing to her as Yuria exits the room. She lifts her hand to acknowledge their presence and they rise from their bow. The man who bowed has long rabbit ears that seem to twitch at the slightest sound. He seems to be holding an urgent message for Yuria and has been waiting for her to leave her room so he can deliver it.

Yuria opens up the letter and can see The Wicked ones insignia stamped on it. Yuria clicks her tongue in annoyance as she knows that she will not like whatever news is in it. Finally opening it, Yuria can see that her initial suspicions were right. The following is what is written on the letter.

"Dear Yuria, Leader of The Kindred and Goddess of Protection

We have had our eyes on someone named the God of Death for a long time now and we wish that you would step back in your association with him. He would be a perfect fits in our beliefs and the way we handle operations. This not us asking for you to step away from him but us telling you to back away and no longer try to harm the God of Death. You know what we can do and we will easily go to war with The Kindred and send you back to your rooms where you belong to protect a fellow God who is wicked to the soul. Revoke your truce with the God of Death now, or there will be severe consequences.

Sincerely, God of Fear, Mikael."

Yuria sighs at the ignorance of Mikael and The Wicked ones as they seem to believe Yuria wishes to harm the God of Death in some way but that is actually a fallacy. She has a major interest in the God of Death as she has watched him for a long time now. When Yuria found out that the God of Death had left his room, she couldn't contain the excitement within her and has been constantly watching him ever since. Yuria even almost started a war against the Army of Gods for trying to kill him.

Luckily Vert managed to kill the God of Deception and the Goddess of Music before war was started, leaving the Army of Gods severely injured in pure strength. The Army of Gods have pulled back from a lot of their operations since the siblings death and they are currently trying to recuperate.

Hope is also down a leader so they have also pulled back from their operations on making Androids and Mind Control Necklaces, which Yuria managed to steal before The Wicked ones made it to The Pit. All of this way done by one lone God and his amazing powers, and Yuria loved that. Every time she thought about the pure power that resides within Vert, Yuria can't help herself and smiles while blushing deeply. She wants him, no she needs him on her side. Yuria will absolutely refuse The Wicked Ones threats and use her truce with Vert to her advantage.

As the pointed tail coming out of Yuria's backside swish back and forth and her face becomes more and more pleasure filled, Yuria's servant coughs loudly, waiting for orders. Yuria snaps out of her pleasure filled thoughts and gives the servant her response. The servant's eyes go wide as he did not expect this kind of response from his Goddess but the man bows his head and leaves Yuria's sight to go write the message to The Wicked Ones.

Yuria sighs as she calms herself down as the succubus within her was starting to show its true sides. Yuria puts on the facade as a elegant and proper God and prepares herself for the rest of the day.

****************************

Vert leaves his house as he finishes his conversation with the Goddess of Protection. As he walks down the hill to the village, the book around Vert's neck bounces around wildly. Vert begins to do slight dance moves as he gets a song stuck in his head. He is also thinking about the weird conversation he had with Yuria.

'She just wanted to talk about what we liked and what our interests were. It was more like an everyday talk rather than something important but hey, I won't complain.' Vert thinks to himself as he approaches the center of the village. Vert spots Astral and Cynthia talking to each other in the middle of the village and he smiles to himself. Vert is glad to see his summoned demon and his hero is able to get along. Something is wrong though.

Cynthia's expression looks like someone had given her a puppy and then took it away. Tears are filling her eyes as she listens to every single word that Astral says and they all seem to hit her right in her feelings. Vert walks up to the two and is able to hear Astral finish his story.

"... And that's how ended up here, throughout all those hardships and he is still able to smile as the days go by. Oh, hey Master." Astral says while waving his hand to Vert. Vert waves his hand back at Astral and then to Cynthia. Cynthia says nothing as she walks towards Vert. Cynthia puts out her arms as she comes close to Vert and grabs his head, pulling him down to her shoulder and into an embrace. Vert gives Astral distressed eyes as he doesn't know what is happening and Astral simply shrugs his shoulders.

Cynthia pets Vert head as she has heard all the hardships he has had to go through. Making friends, learning that they tricked you and watching the other one get killed in front of you, being immediately captured afterwards and almost having your powers stolen. Cynthia thinks that Vert must have severe depression at this point and is trying to cheer him up with a nice embrace and some encouraging words.

As Cynthia rubs the top of Vert's head while holding him down to her, Vert decides to take a free hug and he wraps his arms around Cynthia's waist.

"I will never leave you... You are my God and I can promise that I will also be by your side... Ok?" Cynthia whispers into Vert's ears and Vert can feel something tense up in his heart. He shakes his head up and down and grips Cynthia tighter. As much as Vert wishes he could forget the events of the past, he truly can't and he has yet to truly stop thinking about Emeralda and Liafa. This is hug is a nice change of pace for the God of Death and he can feel new feelings for Cynthia begin to stir inside of him.

The feelings aren't that of a God and their hero but something more. Like, bestfriends. An attachment telling you that this person will be important in your life and you should treasure that. After staying a little bit longer in Cynthia's embrace, Vert lets go of her waist to show he is ok now and Cynthia lets go of Vert, even if it was reluctantly. Vert turns to Astral and opens his arms.

Astral gives him a weird glare and Vert waves his hands, telling Astral to come here. Astral shakes his head and no but Vert doesn't put down his arms. Vert waves his hands and Astral shakes his head no again but Astral knows there is no way out of this.

"Come here Astral." Vert says and Astral's legs begin to move on their own. Astral begins to let out a verbal protest.

"No... No... Nooo... Why?" Astral says as he comes closer and closer to Vert. Finally in front of Vert, Vert gives Astral a big hug and pats his back. Astral looks around awkwardly and keeps his arms to his side. Cynthia giggles at the sight before her and Astral sighs, accepting the hug from his Master. Vert lets go of Astral and looks at him with a smile.

"See that wasn't so bad, was it?" Vert asks.

"It wasn't as bad as I thought, it was worse." Astral says annoyed. Vert laughs and lightly punches Astral's shoulder while laughing. Astral coughs to clear his throat and forget about what has just happened.

"So what are we going to do now Master?" Astral asks as he wants to stop standing around. Vert thinks to himself for a moment and then remembers what they were supposed to do next.

"Astral, take all of the armor and weapons you looted from whoever you killed last night and give it to the village. The only thing you will not give to them is 2 cloaks if there is any. Cynthia and I will need them for what we are going to go do." Vert says. Astral bows his head to accept this request and Astral turns into mist which rapidly heads for the house.

Cynthia looks confused as she doesn't know what Vert has in mind. Vert turns around and looks at Cynthia and tells her today's plans.

"Astral found a Bandit's Den last night that actually had a lot of money stored up inside of it. So with this money we will be going to the nearest city and we will go on a shopping spree." Vert says with a smile.
