After just a few minutes, Sirgia pretty much forgets that I’m watching her and completely immerses herself in the stone tablet again. I smile a little. This doesn’t make me feel neglected or anything, quite the opposite, I’m happy that she still can wholeheartedly focus on her passion. I was getting worried that I might have stirred up her life a bit too much, getting her too attached to myself. While that might still hold true, she at least isn’t pushing her dreams totally aside and ...

Miria was the first one to wake up when the morning came. She found herself in the same position she last remembered, which was in Ast’s embrace, with them both lying on their sides. She glanced upwards to see if he was still sleeping and it seemed so. Asterios’s sleeping face caused her to smile. It looked so serene and to some extent really handsome. His breath tickled her ears with each movement of his lungs, making them twitch in response.
She dropped her gaze back to his chest ...

After we are done cleaning the main hall, I move with Sirgia and the slimes to the workshop to pick up some tools that will help us in repairing the broken floor. The rest of the girls leave to tend to their own small chores or whatever they have been doing before this unexpected encounter.
I assure Cornelia that everything is now fine with my body. Having someone with real healing abilities is already starting to show its benefits. My Rejuvenate is great, but it’s not something that ...

The area they found themselves in after getting through the hole in the cave’s ceiling was your typical, small clearing in the woods. Five meters from the opening there was nothing but flat grass. The trees started just after that distance, making the forest in which they were currently in. It wasn’t possible to pinpoint their exact location from this spot so they slowly walked around, trying to find some hints.
They confirmed the directions of the world with ease, both Asterios and...

Assuring that there were no more wolves left in the area, Miria headed towards Asterios who was in her body. Seeing her approach, he started lifting himself up with the help of the wall behind him. It looked like the paralysis that held her body down was finally giving up, but Ast still stumbled during the motion and began falling forwards.
Miria kicked off the ground and appeared in front of him in a flash, catching Asterios in her body before he fell. It was an unimaginably weird and ...

Miria watched as Ast desperately tried his best to fend off the ferocious attacks of the remaining wolves which slowly began getting up after the use of his concussion bomb. He was doing much better with her blades than she expected him to, parrying a lot of paw slashes and bites while sometimes even managing to wound the beasts back.
But, those were just blades in his hands, nothing else. The surface wasn’t covered in a strong poison, neither it was sharpened with mana. The cuts he l...

Asterios observed the main threat that they would be facing. It was no normal wolf but a magical beast sometimes found in his realm. Bloodfangs weren’t that powerful entities, but they were much more dangerous than your typical canines. Its size was smaller than Miria’s panther form, somewhere around 3/4 of her body. He recalled what he knew about them and placed his hand on Miria’s shoulder.
“We need to get rid of the red one as soon as possible. I’d rather have us run, but i...

After leaving their tent, Asterios glanced around. It was still morning as the sun was quite low. Miria positioned herself towards the way from where the unexpected visitor was arriving. A few moments later, a young man with short, brown hair and some leather armour, damaged here and there, jumped out of the bushes.
“Help! I need— AHH!”
He screamed in shock after noticing the giant panther staring intently at him and stumbled over his own legs while taking a step backwards, ...

While people at the academy had most likely already heard about the huge black panther, those in the city shouldn’t yet have received any rumours about it, but Miria jumped back to her realm nevertheless. They wanted to keep the attention on them to the minimum for as long as it was possible. Ast knew it wouldn’t be that long considering how fast they showed Miria’s form at the academy, but some more peaceful time was always appreciated.
Finally done with his obligations, Asterios...

“First, you can’t just kick Ast out because he jumped in to save his partner! Second, why is that jerk Roz still allowed to do whatever he—OW!”
As Tina was venting her annoyance on the Principal, Ast walked behind her and chopped the slightly too aggressive girl on the head.
“Stop shouting at the person who had the least to do with this,” he berated her.
“But as the Principal, she could—”
“—Couldn’t do anything.” Ast turned to the woman in rob...

When Asterios woke up, his mother wasn’t home. It was one of those days when she had to spend the whole day at her shop to oversee the business and verify some things. Usually, she was only leaving for a few hours during midday and her mornings and evenings were free. The place employed a few people who were quite professional and Kindra didn’t have to watch over them the whole time. She was able to deal with a lot of issues from home.
He made some sandwiches and invited Miria to ha...

Ellie soon joined the waiting Asterios in the Guild’s main lobby and got back to finishing all the paperwork alongside him. They went through the forms with ease and she presented him with his new ID card and a shoulder plate.
The latter one was in the form of an oval metal badge carved out of bronze. For easy recognition, adventurer’s ranks were grouped by two with their design and material. F and E-ranks were out of bronze and were in the shape of a wide oval. D and C-rank were si...

Ellie led Asterios back to the lobby and then to one of the meeting rooms on the second floor. For the whole time, she didn’t know what to think about the recent event which had just transpired in front of her eyes. She thought that she had a pretty good grasp on Ast’s strength, but after seeing how quickly he had dealt with the examiner, no, more like toyed with him, she began considering the fact that maybe she didn’t actually know a lot besides his personality and the title of the We...

They started heading back to the town. Miria switched into her beast form and began nudging Asterios with her big body to convince him to get on her so they could move faster. He inquired if that’s really fine and she told him that it’s nothing and they often rode on each other’s backs all the time back at home. According to her, not all Beastfolk could morph. It all depended on their bloodline. Around 40% of Pantherkin population were also Werepanthers.
Ast finally agreed, pushed...

The sky above Asterios’s head was slowly turning orange. The time he spent unconscious during the nap and after summoning Miria was something around four hours in total. If not for the completely shattered and bloodied clothes, it wouldn’t be any different than coming back from the academy after lessons ended for the day.
Due to the unusual state he was in, the guards stopped Asterios at the Rosewind’s gate. They inquired about the reason behind it and he told them that he stumble...

Asterios led Miria back to the pond near the stone formation. There was no better place to choose for a memorial than the spot where both he and Mii loved to spend their free time. It was also where he had summoned her for the first time. He would never forget the image of a weak and trembling rabbit which turned into an affectionate and proud beast during their time together.
He came closer to the rocks where the waterfall was flowing and moved away a bit of moss which covered the surf...

About an hour later, Asterios began regaining his consciousness. He felt something soft under the back of his head. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a figure of a girl leaning above him. From the angle and position, he deduced that he was lying on her lap.
Soon after, she noticed him waking up and glanced down with a kind smile.
“Welcome back, Master.”
Asterios furrowed his brows while staring at the beautiful face of the black-haired girl. He started focusing his mind ...

Asterios opened his eyes with Mii lying on his chest. After waking her up with a few rubs, she cuddled to him for a little longer and jumped back to her realm. He collected himself from the bed, tidied it up a bit and went downstairs to see if his mother had already started preparing breakfast. He tried to wake up before her many times to surprise her with a nice meal, but she always managed to be the first one to get up no matter what, as if she had some divine sixth sense.
And the sam...

While he was engrossed in his reading, a girl approached the bench Asterios was sitting on.
“Hi, Ast.”
Looking up from his book, he found a cute girl with medium-long dark sapphire hair and blueish eyes. She donned the academy’s outfit for girls, featuring grey stockings, short ash-grey skirt and a white shirt with a blazer on top of it. She seemed to be somewhere around 165cm in height. In comparison, Asterios reached a bit over 180cm recently, so the difference between the...

「No! Get away!」
A young man thought to himself while running for his life from a gigantic, shadowy creature. It resembled a bear fused with a griffon and was intent on catching the human squirming in front of its eyes. No matter how fast the man ran, the vast forest he was making his escape through seemed like an endless maze, without any light of hope shining through the dense upper branches of the spooky trees.
As he dashed desperately, he stumbled over tree roots m...

After arriving a bit closer, a small stage with four stocks which are often used to restrain criminals enters our sight. There’s a person in each of them. Or specifically, a demi-human. A small crowd has gathered around the makeshift stage and is curiously observing the spectacle unfolding in front of their eyes.
We push through some people to get a bit better view. I notice a man dressed in quite a noble-looking clothes walking around the elevated area. Besides him, there’s one mor...

After arriving back at home, we eat a nice dinner together. It’s a good thing that two of the elves are helping in the kitchen or Sirgia would have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. With their assistance, meals come out quite quickly. They also shared with our chef some of their homeland’s recipes so she could try preparing them. As expected from her, Sirgia was all in for listening about dishes from other parts of the world and didn’t even consider that as having more work. I thin...

I wake up to a warm and pleasant feeling of something brushing against my lips. As I open my eyes, I catch the smiling face of Cornelia slowly moving away. Her unkempt hazelnut hair, currently lying on the sides of her face, reminds me of the events that transpired during our recent time together.
“Good morning, Al.”
I stare at her charming expression for a moment and glance around. We are together in my bed, covered by bedsheets up to our chests. Finally, my eyes land on Corn...

I can’t help but stare at Cornelia’s slim, well-toned body. She looks so damn seductive in this purplish negligee. I thought that she finally made up her mind when I saw her enter my room like that, but it looks like she still can’t voice out her intentions properly. Well, I guess it’s time to play the disappointed victim card.
“I see. I promised and I will of course deliver. So, what do you need my help with?” I ask her calmly, like her visit in those clothes is nothing new...

Looks like they were in quite a pinch for a moment, but thankfully, they all got out of it just fine.

With the help of the elves, we finish restyling all the guest rooms on the bottom floor in just a few days. Now, all of them follow the same design and are completely safe from any undesirable spectators peeking in.
The purple curtains now completely cover the windows, not letting even a speck of a sunray fall inside. They are of course removable. Getting some fresh air in there from time to time is quite a no-brainer. Can’t have it become stale and heavy from all the possible scents ...

When asked, they say that they are just familiarizing themselves more with their new home.
