After obtaining Zane’s spear and causing quite a scene, Ryner was flying back to the Avalon. It was time to get the last Heaven’s Blade that was still inside a ruin. When he reached the large ship that was stationed above the clouds, he first stored the bodies of the two dragons in one of the giant freezers where frozen goods were kept. After freezing them so that they wouldn’t decay, he took the bullet train and headed for the bridge. There were many rooms for the crew and he needed to check up on Evelyn, who had been grounded for a week.

“Oi, Evie, it’s me.” [Ryner]

When he arrived at her room and knocked on the door, there was no answer. He entered, but didn’t find her. What did catch his attention was how messy her bed was and-

“… Why are my boxers there?” [Ryner]

His underwear and a few other articles of clothes that belonged to him were present on her bed.

“… That idiot.” [Ryner]

He muttered and sighed tiredly before moving to collect them.

“No, it’s a pervert. So, that perverted idiot would be better.” [Ryner]

He grabbed a crumpled up shirt and noticed that there was a book underneath it. It was opened and judging by the handwriting, he realized that it was Evelyn’s journal. Most likely, she wrote it while she was confined to the Avalon to pass the time.

“Did she reflect at all?” [Ryner]

Picking it up, Ryner went to the first page, where the first entry was, and read it, wondering if she learned her lesson.

Day 1

I’ve been forgiven by Ryner! He wishes for me to stay by his side!

This is the happiest day of my life, right after finally meeting him again! Still, it doesn’t mean that what I did was erased. As such, I’ve been punished.

We somewhat settled things between us and I was to receive a punishment for what I did. It was the One Hundred Spanks Punishment, like in the past. However, having matured, I found pleasure in it and when I honestly told him so, he got angry and changed it to being grounded aboard the ship. But, that’s alright. What matters is that I can be with him for the rest of my life.

Day 2

I have been obediently staying inside my room like he told me to and distracted myself using the treasures I gathered.

Mi, the puppy he picked up, keeps me company, though she mostly only approaches me to be fed.

I cannot wait for Ryner to come back. There is no more need for secrets, no need to hide my feelings. As much as he permits, I will shower him with all the love I’ve kept from him.

For now, I will go back to smelling his pants and mas enjoy its fragrance.

Day 3

I had grown tired of my treasures.

No, that would never happen. To be honest, they had lost their scent because I used them too much. Furthermore, staying in my room was no longer tolerable and I had decided to venture around the ship. By luck, I found what Ryner was talking about: The World That Only God Knows. It was a veritable library of knowledge that I could never have possibly imagine.

Using what I learn from here, I will no doubt find greater ways to satisfy Ryner. Of course, that is only if he asks me to accompany him in bed. Still, to see if these are truly effective, I would like to try some of them out with him. One thing that has caught my eye would be the naked apron for newlyweds.

NEWLYWEDS. NEWLYWEDS. NEWLYWEDS.

Day 4

This is the fourth day. I miss Ryner. When will he come back?

I’ve already reflected on my mistakes and will never do it again. Maya had told me that he was even more amazing sober. That would mean that I only experienced his boundless stamina. I will be sure to not have him drink the next time.

For now, I’ll watch the videos I found and mas practice while imagining it’s him.

Day 5

I went to Ryner’s room.

I should have done it sooner! There are clothes here! Clothes worn by him and discarded to the side! What a waste! I will put them to use!

The bed is wonderful! The smell is so much stronger like this! If only he didn’t delete the pictures and videos I took of that drunken night, it would be perfect.

Day 6

Ryner’s bed. Ryner’s pillow. Ryner’s blanket. Ryner’s shirt. Ryner’s pants. Ryner’s underwear. Ryner’s desk. Ryner’s chair. It all smells like Ryner. I miss his touch. I miss him. I miss him. I want Ryner. Ryner. Ryner. Come back. Hurry.

Ryner closed the book shut.

“… She didn’t reflect at all!” [Ryner]

In a way, he was incredible for getting mad at Evelyn instead of being frightened by what he just saw. He rushed to his room where she had supposedly been staying at and entered without knocking.

First, in one corner was Mi who was completely oblivious to the pervert and happily wagged her tail when she saw Ryner. It would have been a cute sight, if not for the fact that she was standing on top of a very familiar black dress.

Second, on the bed, there was a squirming lump hidden under the blanket. Weird noise was coming from it. When it finally noticed Ryner’s presence, it sopped moving and Evelyn’s flushed face popped out from underneath the blanket.

“RYNEEER~ ♥!!!” [Evelyn]

She yelled in delight and raised her body. The blanket fell off her back, revealing her nakedness as she kneeled on the bed while smiling ecstatically. Her front was barely covered by a shirt that she held between her hands and a pillow that was held between her thighs.

“THIS PERVERT!!” [Ryner]

Having spent a week in isolation didn’t cure Evelyn’s excessive side at all.

“Where are we going?” [Evelyn]

“To get something that belongs to me. It’s the last one. On our way there, we’ll be going over a city I visited before, so maybe we should drop by for a bit.” [Ryner]

“Wherever you go, I will follow you.” [Evelyn]

“You’d sound really reliable right now if I didn’t just see you humping my pillow.” [Ryner]

After some serious scolding that involved keeping some distance from Evelyn, Ryner let her dress herself up and the two straightened out the room. The clothes and bed needed to be washed. Furthermore, the furniture also needed some cleaning. The vampire was acting like nothing happened and smiling happily as she talked to him from across his desk.

“I couldn’t help it. That pillow was where you rested your head. I had to bury my face in it. Then, I realized that it was like an indirect kiss if I licked it.” [Evelyn]

“Wait, wha-?” [Ryner]

“So, before I knew it, I was straddling it.” [Evelyn]

“…” [Ryner]

Ryner was at a loss for words. He stopped looking through the update logs on his computer and covered his eyes with his hand. He experienced a lot of things, but for better or worse, he never had to deal with someone that was obsessed with him like Evelyn was.

“You know, I don’t see you romantically like you do. If you tell me stuff like that, it’ll just creep me out.” [Ryner]

He said and took a look at her.

“Y-y-you’re r-right. I, I a-apologize.” [Evelyn]

Tears were streaming down her face. Her eyes were wide open because of her shock. She rapidly blinked them to get rid of the tears.

“Why are you crying?! And that was fast!” [Ryner]

“B-because you just clearly rejected me.” [Evelyn]

“Huh? Wasn’t that the obvious outcome? Rather, if just that was enough to make you cry, then you shouldn’t have assaulted me. I could have hated you forever.” [Ryner]

“I, I was ready for it. I made my resolve, or at least, I, I believed I did. But, uuuh~, when you said it to my face, it hurt more than I initially thought.” [Evelyn]

“Ahhh, alright, alright. Stop crying now. Your cool image is totally ruined.” [Ryner]

He handed her a handkerchief and she wiped away her tears with it.

“I’m, *sniff* I’m sorry for showing you this. I didn’t think I would be so easily affected by words.” [Evelyn]

“Seriously. Makes me wonder if you really thought your plan through. You were gonna keep following me when you’ll cry from just that? You shouldn’t have attacked me, idiot.” [Ryner]

“I, I couldn’t help myself any longer. Could you control yourself if you’ve been living with the most incredible and sexiest woman for five hundred years? Furthermore, she would cuddle with you and sleep in the same bed as you. You have great respect and desire for her. And even though she is so strong, she has a fragile side that you wouldn’t expect at all. It doesn’t affect your admiration for her, but it makes you want to always be by her side and protect her. Seeing both her strong and weak sides makes you yearn for her even more. You want her to dominate you and yet you want to have your way with her as well.” [Evelyn]

“… Wait, what are we talking about?” [Ryner]

Having finished crying and drying her tears, Evelyn stared at him.

“I love you.” [Evelyn]

She said. It didn’t matter how many times she repeated it. It was never going to be enough.

“I love you more than anything in the world.” [Evelyn]

Although Ryner still had his usual sleepy-looking eyes, she knew that he was fully listening to her seriously.

“I love you so much that I can’t control myself.” [Evelyn]

Truly, the vampire understood that she should treasure these little moments with him more instead of forcefully pushing for her deepest desires.

“Bluntly speaking, I want to have sex with you.” [Evelyn]

“Way too blunt!” [Ryner]

Unfortunately, just understanding wasn’t enough.

As the two held a rather strange, but honest, conversation, The Avalon was heading towards the final Heaven’s Blade. On its way, it would pass over the first city that Ryner visited when he came to this world: Sakael, the capital of Garroth kingdom.

Ryner spent a couple of days aboard the ship to try and rehabilitate the vampire’s perverted nature. Various methods were used such as meditation to resist temptation and preaching to remind her about the proper conduct of a noble lady. Even bloodsucking was tested to see if her lust for blood would overwrite her regular lust. However, nothing worked. Furthermore, drinking his blood only made her excited. Having given up for the moment, he decided to go down to Sakael and visit some old acquaintances.

“Ryner, look.” [Evelyn]

Inside the plane’s cockpit, sitting behind Ryner, Evelyn showed him a page from the book she was holding using the monitor before her. A man and woman could be seen on a bed, naked.

“According to this book, this is a picture of a man eating a girl out.” [Evelyn]

“… Aaaannd why are you showing me this?” [Ryner]

“For the sake of my personal research, I would like to reenact this scene with you.” [Evelyn]

“Go to sleep, you idiot… Where did you get that, anyway?” [Ryner]

Dealing with the vampire had become rather tiring.

That was what Ryner honestly thought recently.

“Stop acting like a kid in puberty that just discovered where babies come from. You’re, what, a thousand years old?” [Ryner]

“I am a thousand, one hundred and forty seven years old. For vampires that can live to ten thousand years, I am still very young.” [Evelyn]

“To most races, you’d be considered an old lady.” [Ryner]

“That’s a rude thing to say to a woman. Is that not so, Mi?” [Evelyn]

“Woof!” [Mi]

Mi, who was sitting on Evelyn’s lap, barked as if in agreement.

“Moreover, I don’t want to hear that from someone who’s lived for eight hundred thousand years.” [Evelyn]

“Ah, you’re right. Now that you mention it, you’re still just a kid to me.” [Ryner]

“I believe anyone you meet in this world would still be a child to you.” [Evelyn]

“Yeah… Huh?” [Ryner]

Suddenly, Ryner’s eyes widened.

“Then, then… I’m into kids?!” [Ryner]

He shouted something ridiculous as he realized it rather too late.

“You, you prefer children, you say? Um, I wouldn’t know what to do if you were…” [Evelyn]

The blonde vampire said as she made a troubled expression.

“Crap… No, wait, the age difference’s huge, but technically, well, technically there aren’t many as old and energetic as me. Also, they aren’t really kids and does it matter after it crosses centuries? Am I safe? I’m safe, right?” [Ryner]

Ryner started muttering to himself, ignoring Evelyn’s words. In the end, he chose not to mind it too much since it felt like his mind was pointlessly running around in circles. Strangely, he had only now realized one of the problems with living for too long.

The two plus one dog were enjoying some peaceful times aboard the airplane, but it was soon over when they reached the skies above Sakael.

“Ryner.” [Evelyn]

“Yeah.” [Ryner]

Displayed on their monitors was the situation of the city that was zoomed in.

“Seriously. It’s only been a couple of days since I fought a dragon and an idiot with a Heaven’s Blade. Now, this?” [Ryner]

There was trouble.
