Chapter 208 - Surprise

Leaving the room with Lefiya who hurriedly followed him knowing now would finally come the moment she most awaited for.

"S-Shall we sleep together like yesterday?"

As they were heading towards Ethan's room, Lefiya tried to ask this question. It was her 'last' occasion to be completely alone with him, and before Ais returned, she wanted to keep his warmth only for herself, even if she would be called selfish if the latter knew her 'intentions'.

"Yes, but before sleeping I have to re-organize my thoughts, so you can enter the bed before me..."

He, even if calm, had still to completely organize his thoughts. His plan's key lied on his success tomorrow, so he couldn't be careless at all.

"...I see."

The smile she had after he accepted her offer was still there, but it wasn't as joyful as before. She also understood Ethan wasn't refusing, and he merely needed the time to be sure tomorrow everything would be fine, so Lefiya couldn't say anything to him, even if she wanted to.

---

'Leading the conversation won't be easy. She will surely try something and I mustn't reveal my cards as I will do that in due time. It would be easy if Loki didn't have to pay her back though.'

Once again this was the core problem, and it wouldn't be easy to solve. Since he wasn't ready to pressure her at all.

'...Light, I'm curious about the [Qienta's Blessing], can you tell me if I can partially hide my soul instead of hiding it all?'

If he could do that, then Ethan would show her some part of his soul. According to common sense, Since his soul was now called [Divine Soul] by the system, it meant to him there was no way even a mere fragment of it wouldn't claim Freya's attention.

But the expected response didn't arrive at all, instead, another panel appeared in front of him.

[The Host won't be able to interact with [Light] in the real world. Albeit open, the connection between the Domain and the real world is faint. The Host can know more about this with practice.]

'...This is troubling.'

If the time stopped when he was in his Domain, then there wouldn't be a problem, but this meant he could only talk to Light when he was in his Domain. The problem laid exactly in this as he had in mind to actually enter only when strictly needed as he would say he was 'training' in his room and that he didn't want to be disturbed.

'As it means I would be able to rarely take my time with Light at all.'

'That means there must be a solution to this problem.'

Since the time was already slowed down in the domain, Ethan believed he would be able to at least do something about that in the future, for example reach the point where one day in his domain would be equal to some hours in the real world, so that he could also spend some time with Light after he was done with everything he would go in his domain for...

'But now it's not the time to wrap my head around that. I'll be sure to use some time to address that issue the next time I'll enter the Domain'

Hearing Lefiya saying he could enter now, Ethan kind of expected her to do some bold move this time, as he could never know what Tiona taught her, but contrary to his expectations Lefiya's pyjama was normal.

His confused gaze made her look down in embarrassment.

"Y-You said you had to sort things out...so I b-backed down for today."

She could've done some other bold move, but with the atmosphere around him and what she told her before approaching the room, Lefiya didn't want to be a burden for him, so she chose to let him think about what he wanted to do without feeling pressure from her.

Her explanation made him nod. He knew Lefiya was still extremely shy, even to admit she was actually going all out the night before, and the fact she backed down out of consideration for him was what made him choose to kind of be the one to surprise her.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ethan approached the bed as he laid on top of it.

"I don't have to be out of the bed to be honest, my only thought was to concentrate on what was to happen tomorrow but if you say you backed down for today..."

He didn't want to be distracted as he knew if he concentrated on her cuteness his attempt to use some time to think would go to waste, but Lefiya told him this night she wouldn't do anything, even if normally she wasn't the one to start this kind of things, he remembered last night too well to underestimate her.

Lefiya understood what he meant. While he ordered his thoughts she could just fall asleep, and her d.e.s.i.r.e to 'sleep' with him would be satisfied, so instead of asking anything, she accepted his way to meet both of their 'needs' even if it was embarrassing for her to put it in this way...

---

After that small moment between the two, Lefiya quietly laid on the bed as well. She was still shy, and since today wasn't a 'going-all-out' day, she wanted to just rest on her space of the bed without bothering him, but to her surprise he wrapped his arm around her so that she could be closer to him.

It was really difficult for him to ignore her, so he chose in the end to let her 'cuddle' with him, even if they both knew she wasn't what he was focusing on, but still this little action made Lefiya a bit more secure of herself.

Even if it was wrong to rely on the thought Ethan couldn't keep his thoughts from wandering on her, she was still happy he was so considerate of her, enough to have a smile on her face as she accepted the closeness to him, while he after confirming Lefiya was calm and that it was fine, returned on what he wanted to do.

---

After he was done, almost half an hour passed. He managed to finally form an idea in his mind on what would likely happen the day after. Even if he would've obtained more information about his [Qienta's Blessing] if he entered his Domain, Ethan was conscious of the fact Light had a physical body now, and since she could be sleeping or resting, he didn't want to interrupt her, as he had some time before heading to the Twilight Manor for that.

Ethan also checked Lefiya. The latter tried to patiently wait for him, but the combination of her work throughout the day and the fact she felt really comfortable to sleep with her head on Ethan's c.h.e.s.t, after almost 10 minutes she was in a well-deserved sleep.

Hearing her breathing relaxed him as well. In the last few days he felt as if everything around him seemed impossible for him to resolve, or there were things out of his comprehension, and it was really hard to cope with these feelings when they repeatedly tried to 'harm' him mind, yet now he could see Lefiya's cutely sleeping, and it was enough for any negative feeling slowly building up inside him to totally dissipate.

'Maybe it's because of this face that my resolve to protect her is so unbreakable.'

He quietly hinted the cause for his love was the face Lefiya was making at that moment, but after a smile from these thoughts he chose to also get some sleep, since the day awaiting him would be one of the most important for the future of the Loki Familia, Orario and to a lesser extent, of the whole continent.

"...ster.."

Ethan heard a faint voice. Although he didn't understand well what the voice was saying, he felt it was important for him to open his eyes, even if they felt heavy.

"...Master..!"

He heard that voice once again, but this time he understood it was Glenda's voice.

"...Good Morning, Glenda."

"Good Morning. I came to wake you up as Loki-sama is already waiting for you..."

'..I didn't wake in time?'

It was strange. Since he entered this world, Ethan never had an issue with 'waking up', but now Glenda was indirectly saying he didn't wake up.

"..Is she here before the time we scheduled?"

He looked around just to see Lefiya completely on him, with her hands on his c.h.e.s.t and a somewhat satisfied smile on her face, still sleeping without a clue.

'...If she wakes up and sees Glenda saw us in this state, she'll probably freak out.'

Knowing this, Ethan slowly released her as he escaped from her 'embrace' by giving her a light kiss on the forehead that made her flinch for a moment, but since she was a heavy sleeper, she didn't wake up at all.

He chose to do so even if Glenda was in the room since he wouldn't see her for the whole day at most, if things went as he thought.

This display made her stare at Ethan with a curious gaze for a moment, but without minding it she explained Loki didn't seem to be here before planned.

'So it's really my fault huh...'

He chose to ask the system for some answer later, as now he had to hurry.

"If that's the case, tell her I'm sorry and that she'll have to bear with it for a while, since I have to bathe first."

Bowing as a sign she understood, she was about to leave his room before Ethan reminded her she didn't need to bow, something that made her smile.

"..The point is I want to show you my respect, Master. So please don't mind me, you should hurry to the bathroom, we are almost done with everyone's breakfast."

He rolled his eyes as he knew she was right.

"...Thanks. I'll help you out some other day since I didn't wake up in time."

His plans changed slightly with this sudden occurrence, but there was no way Freya would be upset to wait some more minute, if she was 'kind' enough to wait for weeks, or at least that's what he believed.
