"One more thing before I remove the barrier," Neraxis said, grabbing her trembling shoulders to stabilize her. "Check your stats."
"Hm? Okay," Aurelia replied with a tilt of her head before tapping on the air a few tis.
The mont she did, he noticed the faint glow of the golden interface reflecting in her eyes—and her sudden shock.
"I-Is this right?" Aurelia asked as she suddenly tapped his hand, and in the very next instant, her status screen appeared before him.

"M-My stats... even a new affinity and skill?" Aurelia muttered, her eyes slowly rolling to the back of her skull.
However, before she could pass out from surprise, Neraxis gently pinched her cheek.
"I shared so of my power with you, so now, you're going to be pretty strong. Of course, you need to get used to it, but—wait, you're older than ?" Neraxis's eyes widened.
"Hm?" Aurelia tilted her head. "So are Aella and Celina. We spent a bit of ti in the Chamber of Patience. It's not that hard to stay there when you have gas to keep you company."
Gas? There wasn't anything there, Neraxis thought with a sigh as he rubbed his forehead.
"I see... Well, you're strong now, at least for as long as I'm alive," Neraxis added, making Aurelia flinch.
But just as she was about to retort, a certain ssage appeared before their eyes.
"Huh? Neraxis?" Aurelia turned to him, shocked. "What's this?"
"So bullshit revenge, don't mind it," Neraxis replied with a shrug. "I was a bit unlucky, so so beings decided to fuck over even more."
He didn't bother filtering his words, after all, moving forward, she'd be close to him.
"Oh," Aurelia sighed. "That's a bit ssed up... I'll explain it to the other girls, okay?"
"Sure," Neraxis nodded, and in the very next mont, tapped the air, removing the frost barrier surrounding them.
Imdiately, the three girls appeared in his sight, all wearing the sa expressions.
"What the fuck...?" Eris muttered, looking at Aurelia in particular. "Your skin is glowing... and your hair turned golden... Did you two fuck?"
"F-Fuck?" Aurelia's eyes widened. "No, we—"
"Your skin is glowing," Celina remarked, approaching Aurelia and giving her a big hug.
As for Aella, she was more focused on the other matter.
"Neraxis, what was that ssage?"
"H-He said it's so stupid revenge," Aurelia replied, pushing Celina away.
However, the push was a little too strong and Celina was knocked back, crashing through a tent and beyond.
"Whoops! Sorry!" Aurelia scrambled, dashing toward Celina, who was flying away, and catching her in mid-air.
With that, Aurelia brought her back and placed her beside the jacuzzi.
Silence ensued for a few monts, until it was finally broken.
"What just happened?" Eris comnted. "Did the mage just fling a C ranked assassin like it was nothing?"
Celina still seed a little dazed, but slowly, her consciousness returned as she t Aurelia's eyes.
"What happened in there?" she asked, and Aurelia imdiately turned toward him.
However, Neraxis rely shook his head. "We can't tell you, not yet anyway."
Before any of them could protest, he continued. "Give so ti, a week or two. After that, I can tell you and even offer you the sa choice I gave Aurelia. But for now, let's just enjoy ourselves, shall we?"
"If you say so..." Aella sighed before pointing toward the nearby table. "Your food is ready. Eat up, it's pretty good."
"Thank you," Neraxis expressed as he sat down.
It was dark out, which ant the two had been inside the barrier for at the very least an hour or two.
He only just noticed that her golden hair actually glowed in the dark, which made it like a natural light source.
Not the best for stealth, but it was pretty damn slick.
Anyways... Her charm stat is the sa as mine, but is it because I've been around her that much that I barely notice a difference? Neraxis pondered, eating the smoked sausage with a side of vegetable salad.
It was tasty, just as he expected.
But of course, the atmosphere was off, as most of the attention was focused on Neraxis and Aurelia.
"Spill the beans. Did you two really not do anything?" Eris asked, swirling her cup of wine. "Unless he gave you so weird potion, I don't see how you'd beco so much stronger, more beautiful, and well... even your breasts grew."
"We didn't do anything sexual," Neraxis stated plainly.
But just as he thought he had covered all bases, Aurelia suddenly spoke up.
"W-We kissed."
Imdiately, Eris whistled in amusent, Celina shattered her glass, and Aella dropped her fork.
Each one of the girls was looking at the two of them with a mix of emotions, especially Aella and Celina, who had a tinge of jealousy in their eyes.
"Are you sure it was only a kiss~?" Eris teased, and Aurelia aggressively nodded.
"Just a kiss, nothing more," Neraxis replied. "Anyways, drop it for now. I said I'd tell you in a bit, but not today."
"N-Neraxis..." Aella called out. "W-Was I your first kiss?"
He raised a brow before shaking his head, making her expression droop.
Nonetheless, he really wanted to put this awkward conversation behind him and instead...
"Let's eat."
