BXBX NOVEL Chapter 520
Additionally, when some of the non-sponsored soldiers and sponsored soldiers from the royal faction see the Lionheart insignia on their clothes, they will possibly offer assistance, such as escorting or acting like a temporary bodyguard.
Vincent went to rest from the long and eventful Sunday. He leaned on the bed beside Ester and closed his eyes. He fell asleep instantly.
*Day 154 – 09 November – Monday*
Vincent woke up in the early morning of Monday. His right arm was used as a body pillow by Lupa and his belly as a bed by Plow.
“Good morning.” Said a voice from his left.
Vincent moved his head and saw Ester smiling warmly at him. She looked better than yesterday, but Vincent wanted to be certain.
Vincent focused his gaze and checked her status window. Ester’s condition became healthy, causing him to smile back at her with relief.
“Good morning. You have recovered nicely. Even the injury on your leg appears to have healed.”
.....
“A body check in the morning. Hehe. ” Ester giggled while hugging his left arm.
[Look at the two of you flirting in the morning. It’s as if Ester wasn’t dancing on blood before she fainted.]
“Ester... you made my heart sink yesterday when I saw a cloud of mist covering you and Zefine. Please take better care of yourself.”
Ester smiled and placed her head on his arm.
“I had a long dream when I was asleep. It was of my mother dancing with two sticks in her hands. She swung the sticks like blades, and it was called the dance of blades apparently.”
“During what happened yesterday, I learned of my weakness. I am but nothing other than a frail woman. No matter how flexible I am, one hit can kill me.”
“Ester... you don’t need to become strong in one day. Others might think we are monsters for improving to our current level in months.” Vincent kissed Ester’s forehead because two wives and a little fox restrained both his arms and body.
“Do things in moderation and leave everything to, Ouch!” Vincent muttered in a low voice when Ester bit his shoulder.
“No. We are in this together. I will prove myself capable of protecting myself and my new sisters. I will protect my new life, my new pleasant ad eventful family.” Ester said with conviction to grow stronger and have Vincent’s back without hindering him.
[I suggest accepting Ester’s determination to grow. She wants to do better like you. How will you respond to Ester? She wants support instead of discouragement.]
Vincent understood, yet his fear of losing someone he loves haunts him.
“I understand, Ester.” Vincent kissed Ester’s forehead again. “Don’t be too slow because I will become strong faster than you.”
*Lick* Vincent felt his cheek suddenly become wet. He moved his head, and a tongue started licking his face clean.
*Pho!* “No fair. Plow wants to lick too!” *Pho*
*Cough* “Wait... one moment...” Vincent begged as one big, and one small tongue competed on his face.
“Hehe. This looks romantic in the morning.” Said Lilith with a gaze as if trying to learn a new skill.
“This is a little too indecent in the morning.” Said Iris with a light blush on her cheeks.
While Vincent was receiving waterboarding love, Lilith and Iris hugged Ester. They asked how she was doing and checked on her condition.
A few hours later...
Vincent went to the morning lesson. Biro heard Vincent cough and believed Vincent had caught a cold.
“You can go back, Vincent. I don’t want you to get more sick than you are.” Offered Biro Hawkins.
“But I am not sick.”
“Yeah. That is what everyone says before their sickness worsens. Leave the training grounds, Vincent. That is an order.”
Vincent nodded and obeyed Biro’s order. He returned with shame all over his face. Kazumi couldn’t stop laughing because Lupa and Plow’s competition was the reason his throat was sore.
Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Plow were shocked to hear how Vincent was sick. This was the first time after he arrived in this world.
Ester gently pulled both Lupa and Plow’s ears for behaving badly. Iris chatted with Lillith and made an energy drink while Lilith used her new spell to cure Vincent’s ailments.
“Thank you, Lilith. Your new spell sure can do wonders.” Vincent complemented. He received the nutritious drink and drank it in one gulp. “Thank you, Iris. A recovering drink that tastes good.”
“Did you see that? Lupa. Plow. Be responsible next time you two want to compete.” Ester said like a big sister.
“I... understand...”
“Plow be a good girl.” *Pho...*
[Hehe. It looks like you are enjoying the show.]
Vincent raised his gaze and saw the tail of Blemish escaping through the wall when Kazumi called Jun Ye Rim out for spying.
The study room’s door opened. “It’s not like I wondered what happened. Don’t think I was worried about you.” Jun Ye Rim said before closing the door and leaving.
“Is her arm acting up again? I will go to check on her.” Iris grabbed a bandage and went after Jun Ye Rim.
Plow shook her head and escaped Ester’s light hold. “Plow is a good girl.” *Pho* “Plow goes to play... go to help.” She slyly said to escape punishment.
“...” Lupa glanced at Ester, but it would be difficult escaping like Plow now.
‘Don’t think you won, Plow!’ Lupa thought.
Vincent felt better with the support of his wives. Now that Lilith can cure common illnesses, he doesn’t need to use his Soul Power that frequently to help others.
Vincent thanked Lilith with a kiss and left to train.
“Hehe. Today is a good day.” Lilith said with a smile while winking at Lupa to tease her.
Lupa’s tail lowered, and she looked defeated now. “Can I train with my mate?” She requested.
Ester let go of Lupa’s ear. *Sigh* “Fine. It looks like you have learned that this all happened because of you.”
“Yes. Thank you, Lupa. I received a kiss because of you, hehe.”
Lupa frowned. “I will go an get a kiss too!” She said before rushing to challenge Vincent with a kiss on the line.
Ester and Lilith laughed after Lupa left. “It is never a sad day with Lupa around.” Both said.
A few hours later, Lupa entered the study room. She proudly looked at Ester and Lilith, who were reading their books.
“I have won, hehe. ” Lupa said with her head raised like a victorious person.
Lupa peeked at Ester and Lilith, but they didn’t notice her.
“Hey! My mate gave me more kisses than you all! I won!”
“Nice to know.” Said Ester while her eyes remained on the page filled with information regarding glyph imitation magic.
“Kisses? You could at least have made out with Vincent in the woods.” Erotically suggested Lilith while reading about the human anatomy.
“I... I will do that then!” Lupa stormed out of the study room and went again to bother Vincent’s training.
“Hehe. I wonder what Lupa will manage to do next.” Slyly joked Lilith.
“You are teasing Lupa too much. You know that Vincent is the only one bothered by her unyielding persistence.” Ester said, showing how she opposed teasing Lupa too much.
A few hours later, Lilith placed her book in her drawer and prepared to leave for Maria’s lesson.
*Bam!* The door opened quickly, and Lupa appeared. She was heavily breathing, and her body was wet with sweat.
“I won!” *Huff* “I did it more than...”
“Great news, my furry sister.” Lilith interrupted with a smile. “I will be going to class now.”
“But... but...” Lupa could see while watching Lilith leaving with a sly smile on her face.
Lupa looked at Ester next.
“Congratulations, Lupa. You had a fun day today, I see.”
“Yes... but is sister angry with me?” Lupa asked with her ears down.
“Why would I be angry when my furry sister had fun by herself.”
“... I will invite sister Ester next time.”
*Sigh* “It looks like yesterday wasn’t a wake-up call for you, my furry sister. Don’t you want to become stronger instead of flirting in the time of training?”
Lupa took a step back as if she had forgotten an important thing. Lupa stopped looking defeated and rushed out of the study room.
Vincent was training when Lupa appeared for the third time. *Gulp* “Do you need something, my...”
“Let’s spar!” Lupa requested with her arms and feet covered with white fur and nails turned into claws.
‘Looks like Lupa will keep me busy today.’ Vincent thought while summoning a set of wood gauntlets he received to review.
Later that day, Jun Ye Rim met Plow. It was getting dark, and staying with Jun Ye Rim had become Plow’s evening pastime.
“Jun Jun. What will we do today.” *Pho* Plow cutely said.
“I don’t want to see you today.” Jun Ye Rim said.
.....
Plow became shocked to be rejected. Plow thought they had become friends recently, but now Jun Ye Rim didn’t want to be with her.
“No... Plow will be a good girl.” *Pho* “Please take Plow with Jun Jun.”
However, Jun Ye Rim touched her shoulder while keeping going to her bedroom. That night, she locked her bedroom and didn’t let anyone inside.
*Day 155 – 10 November – Tuesday*
The next day arrived, yet Plow remained sad. When Vincent asked the sad little fox on his belly what was wrong, Plow explained how Jun Ye Rim didn’t like Plow anymore.
