" Woah! This dress is exactly how I like it. How did you know that brother?" Eran complimented, as she spun around for a while. Eran was in a nice white dress, with long black leggings. Although it was a little big, but Eran liked her clothes a little big and oversized anyway.

"I guessed." Eduan confidently answered, but he wasn't going to tell her that he had a dress in every single sort of measurement prepared for her.

Now that he could finally see his sworn sister in person, he was beyond happy, he was elated. That warm feeling, that had been absent for so long, bloomed in his chest.

Quietly, he sent a message through his pocket to the other families, and to Jahad, that Eran had arrived.

"Did you tell the others that I'm here now?" Eran asked predictably.

Eduan smiled. Even now, she still cares about them so much.

"Yup, I did sister. Don't worry." Eduan reassured.

"Hmm, maybe we should meet up?" Eran asked him, as she wanted to see her other friends too.

"Nah." Eduan replied. He wanted to distract her from that, so he brought up another point. "Rather than that, we need to get you some supplies. That takes more of a priority, doesn't it?"

"Yeah you're right!" Eran gasped. "How could I forget about that..."

Eduan merely laughed. He wanted to spend as much time with his sworn sister, and dearest friend for as long as possible.

'Those old folks would come here soon anyway.' Eduan grumbled silently.

...

Eran and Eduan slept in separate rooms through the night.

"The bed's so soft! The room is so cute as well!" Eran gasped when she set foot in the room.

The ceilings was designed in a way that looked like as though it was made of many different cylinders. There were also lights, in the shape of balls, hanging from a few of the cylinders. There was a large window, allowing the setting sun's rays to enter. As it bounced off the glass ball lights, the room looked like as though it was from a fairy tale.

The room was also made in pastel colours, like pink, blue and white, which was Eran's favourite colour. The bed was large and was soft enough to envelop Eran's entire frame.

"Thank you brother!" Eran smiled happily. "It must have been so expensive..."

"Don't worry about it." Eduan reassured. This didn't even leave a dent in his account. "I'm rich anyway."

"You sound like a prick earlier, but I'll forgive you." Eran said.

"Yes yes." Eduan replied. He would do anything to make his sister smile, just like what she did for all of them before.

When Eduan woke up, he saw a hot breakfast in front of him. It was a simple bowl of noodles, and it tasted good. Although it was nothing compared to what his personalized chefs could make, he felt extremely happy at that moment.

The two siblings ate their food, then went for shopping.

It was certainly a strange sight, to see the esteemed Eduan Khun go shopping personally. Much less with a female.

'That must be one of his wives that he had taken a fancy to.' Everyone thought. Yet, when the smaller female started ordering Eduan Khun around, and had the audacity to tell him to 'carry her stuff', they were beyond stupefied, and was stumped.

Many of the shop owners had to rub their eyes, and confirm that what they were seeing wasn't a mirage.

And most importantly, the Great Eduan Khun, smiling?!?! What happened?!

Eran really did buy whatever she liked, just like what Eduan said. She bought plushies, pajamas, dresses...

Essentially, really childish items.

Sometimes, she would stumble upon something that interests her, like jewellery or unrefined rocks.

When Eduan asked why she did that, Eran merely answered, ""

Then, she also went to buy some ingredients for a "hot pot."

"By now, the others have probably already raided your house." Eran predicted.

"Yes." Eduan agreed. "So let's take as long as possible."

"That's just mean, brother."

"So what," Eduan pouted. "I haven't seen you in such a long time after all."

"Hahaha!" Eran burst out laughing when she heard that.

Then, the two went back to Eduan's house. The moment Eran opened the door, someone already hugged her.

"Get your hands of my sister!"

"Hehehe! Long time no see, Yurin!" Eran giggled, and returned her embrace. Eran, then proceeded to give everyone hug, and started chatting with all of them.

Eran prepared the hot pot just like how she remembered from peeking at others. Prepare the soup, then the ingredients. Everyone conversed during the meal, even the quiet Jahad.

"So," Eran said. "I'm planning on becoming a regular, and climb the tower again."

The sudden silence was uncomfortable for Eran, but she wanted to tell that to them personally.

"Nooooo!" Yeon Hana cried as she clung to Eran suddenly.

"Stop touching my sister."

"Even if we were to try to dissuade you, you'll still do it, huh." Lo Po Bia merely said.

"Yup!"

"Want to become a princess, Eran?" Jahad asked. "If you do-"

"No!" Eduan and Eran rejected immediately.

"I.." Eran shyly confessed. "I want to marry someone someday... A-and do that so... I can't be a princess..."

"..." Silence descended in the dining room again.

Jahad was shell shocked. It was the first time someone rejected his offer. Normally, he would have killed the person immediately. But this time, he just sulked in his seat.

"I will kill any man that enters a 5 meters radius of you. " Arie Hon uttered solemnly. Ari Han and my brother let out nods of agreement.

"How about, you join my family instead?" Yurin Ha suggested, but then she was met with a wave of disagreement.

Eran was laughing throughout their entire banter.

"I'll be fine! This body isn't that weak after all! I spent a long time making it." Eran proudly said, and patted her chest in confidence.

"Yes yes." Eduan followed up immediately. "But we can't help but worry."

Everyone agreed.

"Hm... How about I show you what I can do? Then maybe y'all can be more reassured that I can take care of myself." Eran suggested. "Come, I'll show you! "

Then, all of them went into the garden. The first thing Eran did was clap her hands, and immediately, all of the shinsu around them stopped flowing.

What...

"Arms Inventory: Visible mode." Eran said. Currently, Eran only had one weapon there. It was a fishing rod.

The fishing rod was as black as the midnight sky. It had a shiny finish, that resembled the sparkle of stars. Eran then swung the the rod around. The hook and string spun around her, like a dance. Yet, the string was sharp enough to cut through the frozen shinsu. The hook was able to pull patches of shinsu together.

Beautiful, yet deadly.

The rod seemed to have a life of it's own. It was able to lengthen and shorten without any commands from Eran. After a while, Eran stopped.

"I also made a flute, for fun." Eran laughed.

" But to protect myself, I have this." Eran said. Suddenly, layers and layers of cloth was fluttering about around them. The cloth never seemed to end. The cloth took on a semi-translucent quality, and was actually dark bluish violet in colour. It was exceptionally enchanting.

"This is essentially what I have been doing most of the time. I can control all of the cloth at will." Eran explained. "As my current body is made of shinsu, I need a lot of shinsu to maintain it. To be able to maintain it, I compressed a lot of shinsu into threads, and wove the pieces of cloth you see before you. Since solid compressed shinsu is made up of a lot of shinsu, I can easily use the shinsu cloth to sustain myself when the shinsu around me gets too thin. I will convert the thread shinsu into liquid shinsu, which I will then transport and maintain my body with."

"I see..." Arie Hoh muses, as he poked the shinsu cloth with his sword. His sword seemed to sink into the cloth, before sliding off.

"It's a very interesting way of manipulating shinsu." He said. "I can't pierce or cut this easily, due to the tight compressed nature of this shinsu. It can protect you well."

Eran brightened.

"But that doesn't mean we'll let you go so easily!" Eudan complained.

"Yeah!" ... ...
